Article in English: Tobacco is one of the main culprits that causes teeth to become yellow or stained. The smoke fills the mouth and chemicals stick to the teeth. Try using a patch or an electric cigarette to avoid staining your teeth with smoke. Coffee and tea both have ingredients that lead to stained teeth. If you drink them every single morning, they're bound to eventually leave their mark. Try cutting back to a single serving or removing them from your diet entirely.  When you do drink coffee or tea, brush your teeth afterward to remove the residue. If you don't have a toothbrush or sink handy every time you drink coffee or tea, drink a glass of water afterward to rinse out your mouth. Rinse your mouth after drinking fruit juice, wine, and other alcoholic beverages as well.. Eating a lot of sugar is tough on your teeth and gums since it leads to the buildup of plaque and eventually cavities and gum disease. All these factors can make teeth look more yellow, so avoid eating candy and drinking soft drinks as often as possible. When you do eat sweets, brush your teeth or rinse your mouth out with water immediately afterward. As we age, our the enamel on our teeth begins to erode; since the layer underneath isn't as bright, our teeth end up looking yellow in hue. Once the enamel is gone, it's difficult to get that youthful brightness back. Whitening your teeth too often can cause them to look bluish, so you can't rely on that as a backup forever. Prevent enamel erosion in the following ways:  Limit acidic foods, such as sour candy. Treat acid reflux promptly.  Don't drink too much alcohol or practice other behaviors that lead to excessive vomiting.

Summary in Russian:

Бросьте курить. Пейте меньше кофе, чая и других темных напитков. Ешьте меньше сладостей. Берегите эмаль.


Article in English: Tobacco was once thought to make acid reflux symptoms worse. However, three studies so far have shown no improvement after patients quit smoking. There is no evidence that mustard helps with this problem. Doctors do not recommend this treatment. The "heel drop" treatment is a chiropractic technique not based on scientific evidence, though there is some anecdotal evidence that it can help. Discuss all exercises with your physician first.

Summary in Russian:

Знайте, курение на самом деле не обостряет симптомы. Будьте осторожны с упражнением «подъем на носки». Не стоит полагаться на горчицу. Никогда не принимайте соду от изжоги.


Article in English: Today's generation is chock full of people that feel unaccomplished. You could get all existential about your life, but that won't get you anywhere. Instead, put your mind to something and do it. The action of getting something done will show you that you can overcome challenges, and make you feel capable, useful, and worthwhile. It can be anything. Run a 10k. Overcome your shyness. Become a wine connoisseur. Whatever you can see yourself enjoying for a long time will be worth your while. But remember: the harder it is, the bigger the payoff. Losing 5 pounds is great, but losing 10 might make you feel twice as good. This is similar to the previous step. But mastering something, becoming a true expert, will give you a sense of identity, knowledge, and a great feeling of internal satisfaction. Whatever you're good at now, throw yourself into 150%. The payoff will be unimaginable. When you become an expert, you know you're truly good at something. There is no room for doubt, no room for negativity. This can become a haven of positivity, reassurance, and relaxation. And, inevitably, it'll be a part of your everyday life. So if you've been hiding the fact that you play the bagpipes for 8 years now, let 'er out. This is also similar to the last two steps -- in fact, they can all be intertwined. Your resolution could be to become a painter. But back to the point -- creating something is so validating, especially in today's world. We walk through turning on lights with  the flick of a switch, talking to people through screens, and sitting down as we scoot down the highway. Everything is done for us. Create something yourself and you become one of the few who are resourceful, knowledgeable, and tuned in. Once more, it doesn't matter what it is. Sure, a new irrigation system for the Congo would be super great for the world at large, but making a duct tape bag gets you thinking creatively, too. What can you do with your set of talents and skills? This doesn't work for everyone, but it could work for you. Ever gone on a...

Article in English: Today, a good woman is someone who strives toward a balance between independence and helping others. It is hard to help others if you do not feel confident in your own abilities. A good person is someone who doesn’t spread gossip. You can be a better person by rising above drama and turning the conversation to a more positive subject. A good woman will also try to stay positive in her life. Even a good woman needs to complain, but constant complaining is a sign of bigger personal issues that should be dealt with before you can think of other people. Calm and patient people are often seen as “good” because they may be a constant and positive presence during a crisis. You will be less prone to over-reaction and argument if you can be patient with others and yourself. A good woman is often seen as strong because she keeps going during emotional and physical trials. You can build emotional resilience by valuing willpower, confidence and courage. All of these qualities are seen as desirable and positive in a woman; however, no human being is constantly virtuous. Recognize that just having a few of these qualities makes you a good woman and don’t be too hard on yourself if you falter.

Article in English: Today, buying and selling Bitcoin is easier for beginners than ever. As your first step, you'll want to sign up for something called a Bitcoin wallet. Like its name suggests, your wallet is a digital account that makes it fairly easy and convenient to buy, store, and sell your Bitcoin — think of it like a universal Bitcoin checking account. Unlike a checking account, however, starting a Bitcoin wallet usually takes less than a minute, can be done online, and is quite easy. Sites like Coinbase.com, Coinmkt.com, Blockchain.info and Hivewallet.com are are just a few examples of reputable, reliable and user-friendly sites for beginners to create their first wallet. Once you have a wallet, it's time to fill it with Bitcoin. Typically, to do this, you'll need to supply the financial details for a real-world bank account just like you would if you were setting up a PayPal account or signing up for another online payment service. Usually, you'll need at least your bank account number, the routing number for the account, and your full name as it appears on the account. You can almost always find these on your online banking account or on your paper checks.  Note that you may also be asked to provide contact information, like a phone number. To be clear, linking your bank account to your Bitcoin wallet is not any more of a risk to your personal security than it is to shop online. Virtually all reputable Bitcoin services make a point to advertise their high standards for security and encryption. While Bitcoin services have been targeted by hackers in the past, so too have many major online retailers. Once you've supplied your bank information and it's been verified by the Bitcoin service, it should be fairly easy to start purchasing BTC and adding it to your wallet. Usually, on your wallet page, there should be an option labeled "Buy Bitcoin" or something similar — clicking this should take you through a straightforward transaction process that uses money from your bank account to purchase BTC. Note that the price of...

Article in English: Today, by far the easiest way to listen to a song in reverse is to use a computer (as in the section above.) However, if the song you want to reverse is on a piece of physical media (that is, something you can hold like a CD, cassette, or record), you can still get it to play backwards with a little more work. For instance, if your song is on a CD, most modern computers will give you the option to "rip" the audio from your CD, making each track an audio file on your computer (see Listen to a CD Backwards. Once you've done this, you can use one of the methods above to easily reverse the song. There are many ways to rip the audio from a CD — perhaps the easiest involve using a program like iTunes to do the ripping automatically. It's worth mentioning that if you insert an audio CD into most modern computers, you'll automatically be presented with options for importing the files. Simply click one of these to get started. If you want to play a song backwards on a vinyl record, you'll need to make a few changes to your turntable so that you're able to play the record on its underside. Don't worry — none of these changes are permanent and, as long as you're careful, your turntable shouldn't be damaged in any way. Follow the steps below:  Cut a styrofoam cup in half or grab a roll of duct tape. Place it in the center of your turntable around the spindle. Fix a soda straw to the spindle to extend it. Remove the headshell from the tone arm, then remove the cartridge. Re-attach the cartridge so that it points up away from the platter, then re-attach the headshell. Start the record and let the needle rise up into the groove. You may need to adjust the counterweight for this to work.  This video serves as a good visual guide for how to modify your turntable. It's also possible to play songs backward on a vinyl record with nothing more than your own hands. Simply set the record player to 0 RPM, then carefully grab the edge of the record and turn it backwards (counter-clockwise) while the speakers are on. You should hear...

Article in English: Today, most computer manufacturers offer some sort of end-of-life disposal service for their products. If you're unable to find someone to take your computer off your hands or your computer is in a non-functional condition, consider contacting the manufacturer for safe disposal options. However, note that not all manufacturers behave equally ethically when disposing of old computers. Some ship computer waste to landfills in the developing world, where it becomes an environmental and health hazard for the local community. Before handing your computer over to your manufacturer, try to research it's ethical record with regards to computer recycling and disposal. Some companies, such as Dell and HP, now offer to recycle your old computer for free when you buy a new one from them. If you have yet to buy your new computer and you're interested in purchasing from the same company as before, consider this option, as it allows you to leave the process of finding a responsible means of disposal to the experts while (possibly) receiving a discount on your new computer. Today, many independent companies exist for the purpose of processing, recycling, and disposing of computer waste. Some are philanthropic organizations, some are non-profits, and some are for-profit. Search for local companies in your area - you may be able to dispose of your computer for free or may need to pay a disposal fee, depending on which types of services are available. However, note that, like computer manufacturers, some e-waste recycling and disposal companies have less-than-stellar business practices. Be a responsible consumer by researching the companies you choose for your disposal needs. Make sure your computer will not end up in a landfill in China before handing it over. Before disposing of your computer, consider whether you have any uses for the case, accessories, or any internal components. For instance, if disposing of several computers of the same model, you might consider using the cases as oversize building blocks for a makeshift...

Article in English: Today, travel writing is much more than publishing articles in a magazine or in a newspaper. Writers are publishing articles on blogs, online magazines, and other online platforms.

You should familiarize yourself with the market by reading several successful travel writers and bloggers, including:  Travel writer Bill Bryson: Bryson is one of the most successful travel writers in the genre and is well respected in England for his travel book on English life, Notes on a Small Island, as well as his American travel book, The Lost Continent".Bryson is known for his dry and witty writing, and often combines memoir and travel writing in his work.

Article in English: Toe dislocations are a relatively common consequence of foot trauma, whether it's accidental (such as stubbing your toe) or intentional (such as kicking a soccer ball). A dislocated toe is certainly painful and looks misaligned, but it doesn't usually involve a fracture. Realigning the dislocated toe with some sort of manual procedure or adjustment (practiced by medical doctors, podiatrists and chiropractors), is the most appropriate treatment. Pain relief often follows immediately after treatment.  Dislocations don't often spontaneously realign without intervention from a health professional. The longer a joint is dislocated, the greater the chance of permanent ligament and/or tendon damage, so getting treatment soon after injury is important. Once your toe joint is realigned again, it's important to support it with a splint or strong medical tape because the ligaments and tendons that keep the joint straight may be temporarily stretched or weakened. As a consequence, the newly straightened toe may be somewhat unstable for a few days until the connective tissues can strengthen. Consider making your own splint with popsicle sticks and trainer's tape. Shortly after your dislocated toe has been realigned and stabilized, you should strengthen it with specific exercises. Towel curls (using your toes to crumple up or pick up a towel from the floor) and marble pick-ups (picking up marbles from the floor with your toes) work well for strengthening the tendons and muscles of your toes and foot.  Talk to your doctor before beginning a toe exercise routine, especially if you have other medical conditions such as arthritis or diabetes. If these exercises do not work well or are painful to perform, see a physical therapist or podiatrist for more personalized assistance.

Article in English: Toenail fungus can look like other conditions such as psoriasis. A doctor will run tests and determine what is causing the fungus and the best way to treat it. There are several different treatments for fungal infections. Your doctor will determine which is the best course of action for you. Oral antifungal medication is often the best way to go as it seems to be more effective than topical creams. The medication will allow a new nail to grow fungus free, replacing your old nail. The process could take a few months, sometimes up to four. There are some side effects that come with anti fungal medication, such as skin rash or liver damage. These drugs are not recommended if you have liver damage or congestive heart failure. Coat your nails with the medicated polish once a day for a week. At the end of the week, clean your nails with alcohol and a cotton ball. This medication could take up to a year to be fully effective. After soaking your nails in hot water, apply the topical cream to the afflicted areas. Topical creams work best against a thin nail. Use a nonprescription lotion containing urea on the surface of your nails to thin the nail. This allows the cream to penetrate the inside of your nail easier and will help to fight the fungal infection for effectively. Tea tree oil or coconut oil both contain antifungal properties. Use these readily available home remedies to help fight your fungal infection.

Article in English: Toilets and bathrooms in general contain a lot of bacteria. Before cleaning your toilet tank, put on a pair of gloves. Rubber gloves will help protect you from bacteria and germs. If you're cleaning with bleach, gloves are vital to protect your skin. Leave your cleaner in the tank for a set amount of time. Most cleaners should be left on for 10 to 15 minutes. However, it's always a good idea to check the specific directions on your cleaner. Remember, vinegar should stay on for 12 hours before you proceed to clean the tank. Use a scrub brush, old toothbrush, or scrubby sponge to scrub the cleaner into your tank. Scrub down the sides and bottom of the tank until the toilet bowl smells fresh and you remove any obvious signs of dirt and built up grime. Clean the working parts of the tank as well, like the ball float and flapper. Once you've scrubbed the tank down, you can turn the water back on and flush the tank to rinse. If you've used bleach, add 1 gallon (3.8 L) of plain, cold water to the tank and then flush it. You may want to wear goggles to protect your eyes when adding water to a tank that had bleach in it.

Go to the major shopping centers in Tokyo to find one-of-a-kind fashion, toys, and souvenirs.  Break up your tour of Tokyo by area, such as Asakusa in the Northeast, the Tsukiji Fish Market in Central Tokyo, the temples and shrines in the West, and Roppongi in the East for shopping and museums. Spend a few days exploring each area, using public transit or a car to visit each section of the city. Other great shopping places in Tokyo include Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Harajuku. Japan has a stretch of mountains in Central Honshu full of fresh powder for skiing or boarding. It also has stunning views and hot springs. Visit this area for something a bit different, especially if you are an avid winter sports person. You can also stay in a mountain resort in this area and do a winter hike. Go to the site of the atomic bombing during WWII to learn more about the tragic event. There is a museum with detailed information about the bombing and tributes to the victims of the attack.

Article in English: Tomato juice can help cleanse your hair and balance its pH, which will help neutralize the chemical odor. You can use any tomato juice that you can find at your local grocery store, or you can manually squeeze the juice from the tomatoes at home.

Article in English: Tomatoes are rich sources of vitamins A, C, and folic acid. They contain a wide array of antioxidants, lycopene, choline, beta-carotene, and lutein. Tomatoes have the added advantage of complimenting pretty much any meal. Eat them whole, slice them up, dice them into small cubes, or puree them and add them to your favorite soup. A single tomato normally only costs around 22 calories, but as a superfood — replete with so many things your body needs — they can be a filling food. Meats have gotten a bad rap in the health community in the last decade or so. This is probably a result of the “skinny” craze. Many registered dietitians now tell their clients to eat a protein-rich diet because protein is far more filling than most other foods. Studies have even shown that eating a protein-rich diet can reduce cravings by 60%. Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage are extremely high in fiber. Beans and lentils also contain a lot of fiber. Eat a cup of fiber-rich yogurt in the morning to add a quick boost of fiber to your diet. Just make sure that the yogurt you choose isn’t made with a lot of unhealthy sugars and dyes.  Raspberries are also a great source of fiber. Additionally, they can lower cholesterol. One cup of raspberries has 8 grams of fiber. Doctors recommend that women consume around 25 grams of fiber per day and that men consume about 38 grams. In particular, fiber-rich foods help fill you up, without filling you out. They have the same weight as other foods, but don’t cost as many calories. If you are used to eating a big breakfast every morning, try changing out that bowl of sugary cereal for a yogurt. See if you are equally full afterwards. If you can handle the heat, studies have shown that the capsaicin in chili peppers can reduce appetite and increase fat burning. Add some chilis to your pastas, sandwiches, and salads. They can give any meal a little boost of flavor. Contrary to popular opinion, eating a low-fat diet is not the key to losing weight. The “low-fat” food craze...

Article in English: Tomatoes lose some of their acidity as they ripen, so avoid tomatoes that appear to be less that fully ripe. Two good ways to check the ripeness of a tomato is to feel the weight and gently squeeze the tomato. Choose heavier tomatoes and softer tomatoes.  Heavier means more juice, which means more ripe. Tomatoes that are soft but not mushy are more ripe than hard tomatoes. You can also learn the smell of a ripe tomato versus the smell of an unripe tomato. The process of canning tomatoes ends up increasing the acidity, so you can reduce acid in your dishes by only cooking with fresh tomatoes. You’ll have to buy fresh tomatoes more frequently than canned ones as they will not last as long. Tomatoes come in red, green, yellow, orange, and combinations of these, and in most cases non-red varieties of tomatoes are said to be lower in acidity. The next time you make your favorite tomato dish, try out some non-red tomatoes and see if you notice a difference in the acidity.  This is not a hard and fast rule as there are red varieties that are low-acid and non-red varieties that are high-acid. Some varieties to keep an eye out for are Yellow pear, a tomato similar to cherry varieties, Georgia Streak, a yellow heirloom variety, and Big Rainbow, a golden-red tomato.

Article in English: Tomatoes should always be washed under the faucet prior to dicing. Make sure to remove any dirt and debris. Peel off any stickers as well. A small spoon or a teaspoon can be used to remove the core of your tomato. Simply insert the tip of the spoon into the tomato's stem. Dig out the stem using the spoon and then discard it. Hold the tomato with one hand and slice through it using a sharp knife. Start at the bottom of the tomato and cut it in two roughly even halves along the equator. Place each half of the tomato on a cutting board with the flat part facing downward. Make a series of vertical cuts length-wise to make a series of thin strips. Strips should be no more than about a centimeter in length and should be roughly even in size. As you cut, use your fingers to hold the tomato in place. Turn the strips sideways. Make vertical cuts across the strips, cutting the tomato into small, diced cubes. Strive to keep the space between cuts roughly even and use your fingers to hold the strips in place as you cut. When you're done, you will have a pile of diced tomatoes.

Try one of the following homemade toners:  1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar mixed with 1 tablespoon water 1 tablespoon witch hazel mixed with 1 tablespoon water 1 tablespoon rosewater mixed with 1 tablespoon water The final step is to apply moisturizer that suits your skin type. Moisturizer will keep your skin from drying out, preserving the results of your facial. Look for a facial moisturizer that doesn't contain alcohol, since this can cause your skin to dry out more quickly.  If you want to use a homemade, all-natural moisturizer, try argan oil, almond oil or jojoba oil. Aloe is another great natural moisturizer that has healing properties as well. It's especially useful if you're recovering from a sunburn. Wait a little while before you start your regular makeup routine to give your facial skin the chance to rest and reap the full benefits of your facial. Makeup normally contains alcohol and a wide range of chemicals, and applying it right after exfoliating your face and cleaning your pores could cause irritation.

Нанесите тоник, сделанный в домашних условиях. Закончите процедуру увлажняющим средством. Подождите несколько часов перед тем, как наносить макияж.


Article in English: Toner works best on hair that’s already been bleached, because it will lighten or darken strands that are already around the shade you want. After bleaching, wash your hair with shampoo to remove the bleach. If you’re toning immediately afterwards, don’t condition just yet. Although many people choose to tone right after bleaching, you may need a few days to buy your toner or to decide if you want to use one at all. Don’t worry! You can tone your hair at any point after bleaching it. After washing out the bleach, scrunch a towel gently through your hair. It’s easiest to apply toner to hair that’s still a bit wet, so dry your hair enough so that it’s still slightly damp but not dripping. If you’re not using toner right after bleaching, simply wash your hair with shampoo beforehand and towel dry the same way. Toner will stain your hands, so it’s best to protect them with disposable gloves. It will also leave spots on your clothing, so wear a shirt you don’t care about staining. If you have long hair, several inches past your shoulders, use the whole bottle of toner. Fill up the empty bottle twice with developer and pour it into the same bowl. If your hair is shorter, just below or at your shoulders, you can use half a bottle of toner and twice as much developer. Use hair ties or long plastic hair clips and let the very bottom layer hang down. This is where most people have the most brassy, orange tones, so it’s a good place to start your toning. Starting with a small section of hair on one side, paint the toner on evenly from root to tip. The strands should look darker and wetter once the toner is fully on. Work from one side to the other, using a mirror to make sure you don’t miss any sections. Unclip your hair and take down another thin layer. Repeat the process of brushing on the toner with this layer, then move on to the next until you reach the top layer and all your hair has been covered in toner. Focus on your roots and the back of your head, which are often the hardest parts to hit with the applicator...

Article in English: Toning shampoos can help address brassiness that occurs in a variety of hair colors. When you're choosing a shampoo, it's important to know what color tones in your hair you want it to correct. Examine your hair in a mirror in both natural and artificial lights to determine which tones you want to remove.  With blonde and gray hair, it's typically yellow or gold tones that begin to show when your hair becomes brassy. Depending on what shade of blonde your hair is, orange, copper, or red tones may appear when your color starts go brassy. Dark hair with highlights can start to look a brassy orange or red. If you are not sure what tones you have in your hair, ask a professional hair stylist. Once you know what color tones you want to neutralize in your hair, it's easier to choose a toning shampoo. That's because you can use the color wheel to figure out what color pigment you need to correct the brassy tones in your hair. You want to find a toning shampoo that contains pigments in a shade opposite the tones in your hair on the color wheel.  If you hair has gold or yellow tones that you wish to neutralize, look for a violet or purple shampoo. If your hair has golden coppery tones that you wish to neutralize, choose a blue-violet or blue-purple shampoo. If you hair has copper or orange tones that you wish to neutralize, go with a blue shampoo. If you hair has red copper or red-orange tones that you wish to neutralize, opt for a blue-green shampoo. If you hair has red tones that you wish to neutralize, search for a green shampoo. It's best to purchase toning shampoo in person, so you can check the color and consistency. Visit a beauty supply store to get advice from a salesperson who is familiar with these products. For dark colored hair, you want a formula that's extremely pigmented and has thick consistency to ensure the best results. If possible, remove the cap from the shampoo bottle to check its appearance before buying it. Keep in mind that if you have fine or thin hair, you may actually be better off with a...

Article in English: Too many of us ignore the soft inner calling of our intuition which loves and adores us. It reminds us to just relax and trust. You see, there is often a much louder voice which booms through our minds and tell us to get to action. It prevents us from trusting ourselves, and instead lures us in to looking to the material and superficial world for all that we seek. Practice making the distinction between the harsh, critical voice that pushes you, and the soft, nurturing voice which loves and supports you. Then, make a conscious choice about which one you are going to listen to. You cannot fully reach your potential unless you know what that is. Oftentimes in life, our goals change, and, occasionally, we may feel lost and have no idea what we're working towards. Knowing what you don't want, however, pushes you into the direction you should be moving and allows you to set clear boundaries. Science reveals that optimistic people tend to live longer and enjoy greater physical and mental health than those who think pessimistically. Seeing the glass as half-full means smiling often, refraining from comparing yourself to others in a competitive way, and finding the silver lining in most situations. One research-backed way to become more optimistic is to do the best possible future self exercise. In this exercise, you will write expressively about your future self for 20 minutes.“Think about your life in the future. Imagine that everything has gone as well as it possibly could. You have worked hard and succeeded at accomplishing all of your life goals. Think of this as the realization of all of your life dreams. Now, write about what you imagined.” Complete the exercise three days in a row. Have you been nervous up until now to put yourself out there for fear of failure? Learn to be courageous and take advantage of more opportunities that come your way. Successful people don't get that way by playing it safe all the time. Read situations and people to determine which opportunities are worth your time, then, bunker...

Article in English: Too many simple carbohydrates can keep triglyceride levels elevated, so you can lower levels by avoiding sweets. This includes sugary soft drinks, candy, cookies, and other processed foods with too much sugar. You should generally cut back on carbohydrates to help reduce your triglyceride levels. However, you should not try to cut them out of your diet entirely, as this can lead to health complications, including heart disease. Instead, avoid refined carbohydrates in favor of complex carbohydrates.  Refined carbohydrates include items made from white flour or semolina, including white rice, white bread, and many pastas.  Complex carbohydrate options include whole wheat pasta, grain breads, quinoa, brown rice, oats, and other whole grain foods. This step is closely related to the last since complex carbohydrates tend to be a good source of fiber. In addition to whole grain foods, beans, fruits, vegetables, and seeds are all excellent sources of fiber. Try replacing your sugary snacks with pumpkin seeds, raspberries, or apples—all of which are great sources of fiber.  You should aim to consume 25 to 30 grams (0.88 to 1.1 oz) of fiber each day. Most Americans consume closer to only 10 or 12 grams (0.35 or 0.42 oz) each day.  Increased fiber will also have an effect on digestion and keeping you regular. You can increase fiber slowly to avoid discomfort. You should also ensure you drink enough water to help soften your stool. You can avoid trans fats by keeping away from foods that say “hydrogenated vegetable oil” on the list of ingredients. When it comes to saturated fats, this means fried foods, dressings, and sauces that are rich in butter, shortening, or lard. Foods that commonly contain trans fats are processed meats (such as hot dogs and lunch meat) and fatty snack options. When cooking at home, use olive oil, flaxseed oil, walnut oil, or canola oil to cook foods. These are much better options than butter, margarine, or lard. This is a fundamentally simple but critical step in lowering triglycerides. Even...

Article in English: Too much caffeine can limit your fertility. Aim for no more than 500 mg per day. If you brew your own coffee at home, this is about five cups. However, if you grab your java at the local coffee shop, that 16-ounce serving of latte or Americano should be your limit for the day. You should always eat a balanced diet. Aim for a variety of foods that will help you get your daily requirements of iron, calcium, folic acid, and protein. You can get these nutrients from raisins, dark leafy greens, legumes, broccoli, and fortified whole grain breads. Omega-3 fatty acids are also important. If you're vegan, you don't have to start eating fish for omega-3s. You can get them from flax seeds and walnuts. Make sure to limit sugary foods and saturated fats as well. If you're overweight, it could take you twice as long to get pregnant as it would for a woman of normal weight. If you're underweight, it could take you four times as long. Talk to your doctor about an exercise regimen that will help you achieve a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI). If you are a healthy body weight, keep your diet consistent and healthy. Alcohol has a negative effect on fertility. Women who consume more than 2 drinks per day have a high risk of infertility, and men who consume alcohol in excess tend to have lower sperm counts. If you decide to consume alcohol, one drink (12 fl oz./355 mL regular beer, 5 fl oz./148 mL table wine, 1.5 fl oz./44 mL distilled spirits) per day should be your limit. If you smoke, quit the moment you decide you want to have a baby. Smoking could make you less fertile and increase your risk of an ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage. It's also known to cause a host of birth defects, such as low birth weight and underdeveloped lungs. If you have a partner, they should quit, too. Secondhand smoke is just as dangerous as primary smoke. If your partner is the intended father, smoking can have a negative effect on his sperm. Prenatal vitamins prepare your body for the task of nourishing an extra person. They also contain extra folic...

Article in English: Too much potassium can affect the way your heart works, causing symptoms like arrhythmia (an abnormal rhythm), palpitations or skipped heartbeats, and, ultimately, cardiac arrest. If you have any reason to think you might be having cardiac symptoms, get to a doctor immediately. High potassium levels can lead to an upset stomach, nausea, and vomiting. These symptoms can lead to dehydration. Potassium helps muscles function, so if you have too much or too little, your muscles can weaken, making you feel weak, tired, and lethargic. This feeling may be exacerbated by other symptoms, especially vomiting. Feelings of numbness or tingling are also related to muscle activity. You may notice these sensations first in your extremities (the hands and feet) and then around your mouth; this may be followed by muscle twitching. Get medical help if you have these symptoms. Many people have no symptoms and only discover the high potassium levels when their doctors run blood tests.

Article in English: Too much salt can aggravate some types of vertigo, endolymphatic hydrops or migraine-associated vertigo. Limit your alcohol consumption and avoid smoking. Drink lots of water and be sure to include food rich in vitamins and minerals in your diet. Caffeine probably does not have an effect on tinnitus (ear-ringing sometimes associated with vertigo). It's usually best to stick to your current caffeine intake instead of making a dramatic change. Many sufferers of vertigo symptoms have found that exercise is helpful in treating vertigo. Start slowly, and begin by moving your head slowly from side to side while standing. Easy stretches and walking also often help alleviate the symptoms of vertigo. You can also ask a healthcare professional for more specific exercises based on your specific type of vertigo. Using the wrong type of exercise can backfire, so it's best not to try them without a diagnosis.

Article in English: Too much time in front of a screen isn't just a time waster. It can cause physical and emotional distress. Understand how too much time on the computer can affect you. Adequately knowing the risks provides motivation to quit.  Spending more than 4 hours a day in front of a screen can increase the risk for heart disease, even if they engage in adequate amounts of exercise throughout the week.  Some studies show that excessive screen time damages brain tissues and ultimately impairs the brain's ability to function. The frontal lobe, which determines success in many areas of life, is most susceptible to damage.  Carpal tunnel syndrome is a well-known health risk of heavy computer users. If you have pre-existing mental health issues, especially hypochondria and obsessive compulsive disorder, the onslaught of information readily available online can fuel unwanted thoughts. For example, hypochondriacs often turn to WebMD to self-diagnose benign symptoms as serious medical problems.  While rare, some people develop Internet or Computer Addiction. Excessive use of the internet or the computer becomes addictive, causing emotional symptoms like depression, anxiety, and a feeling of isolation and physical side effects like back aches, headaches, weight loss, and weight gain. If you worry you might be suffering from an addiction to your computer or the internet, seek psychiatric care. In order to understand where and how you're spending too much time on your computer or laptop, keep track of the websites you visit and anything else you do in front of the screen. Which websites are causing the problem?  Figure out how much time you spend online. Do you use the internet primarily for social media? Are you a Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram user? Do you find yourself mindlessly scrolling a newsfeed? Try to figure out why you're drawn to social media sites and how you might be able to cut back. Many people use the internet for watching television, movies, and videos. Do you spend a lot of time on Netflix and YouTube? Is...

Article in English: Too often we just pick a face wash based off of a commercial or the recommendation of a friend with “better” skin than ours. The problem is that everyone’s skin is different, so a soap made for naturally oily skin will strip too many valuable oils from someone’s non-oily skin. Or a face wash engineered for dry skin won’t adequately remove oils accumulated over the course of a day on someone’s naturally oily face. So ask yourself this question: Is my face naturally oily or naturally dry? Face soaps come is a variety of different types. Bars, foams, non-foaming, soap-free, cleansing balms, micellar, oil-based, and medicated. Most only require water to be activated and used effectively. Micellar face washes are already watery and only need a cotton swab or pad to be applied and removed. Often times, hints of lavender, coconut, or some other substance is added to face washes to make them seem more luxurious or simply to smell good. Perhaps, this doesn’t make your face dry up or break out, but it might. If you’ve recently tried a new face soap and your complexion gets worse, consider picking another soap without a scent. These two ingredients tend to be too extreme for most people. Sodium laureth sulfate is a little milder than its more extreme counterpart — sodium lauryl sulfate — but both will still irritate skin susceptible to strong soaps. If your favorite soap has these “bad” ingredients listed on the side of the package, you may want to consider switching to a different cleanser. While there is some controversy around the use of sodium lauryl sulfate, prolonged use may be linked to cancer, neurotoxicity, organ toxicity, skin irritation and endocrine disruption.T A great test for face soaps is to wipe your face with an alcohol-soaked cotton ball after you’ve washed your face. If you still find grease or leftover makeup, your soap probably isn’t strong enough. Keep in mind, leftover grease or whatnot may also simply signal insufficient face washing. Try washing your face again before you abandon the soap. Some...

Article in English: Tooth demineralization is associated with a number of dietary habits. If you want to remineralize your teeth, avoid all sugar. You should also avoid all processed starches, which affect your teeth the same way as sugar. Bacteria grows quickly in the presence of sugar, so you want to minimize how much you feed these bacteria. You should avoid all processed and pre-packaged food such as breads, cookies, cakes, chips, and crackers.  You should also avoid soda and any other sweetened drinks. These tend to contain a lot of added sugar. They also are acidic and can damage the enamel that way as well. If you are not sure what is in a food, read the label. If sugar, high fructose corn syrup, cane syrup, or another sweetener is listed, avoid it.  If you enjoy sweets, try to limit the sweets you eat to honey, which is anti-bacterial, and stevia, an herb that is 200 times sweeter than sugar. Stevia also has the added benefit of being calorie free.  Artificial sweeteners like aspartame are chemically very different from sugar, but they essentially fool the brain into thinking that something is sweet. When trying to remineralize your teeth, you should limit the amounts of citrus fruits you eat. If you do eat citrus, you should rinse your mouth out with water to decrease the amount of acid. The sugar in fruit is another type of sugar that is not as popular with bacteria. This means you do not have to limit the intake of non-citrus fruits such as apples, pears, or peaches. Stimulating the production of saliva naturally helps remineralize your teeth. When you eat, you should chew every bite completely. Chewing promotes the production of saliva. You can also chew mint flavored sugar free gum or eat sugar free hard candy to help promote saliva production in your mouth. Sour foods also tend to increase saliva production, but sour foods are acidic, so be careful with have much of these foods you eat. There are multiple kinds of mineral supplements you can take. You can take a multivitamin, but make sure it includes minerals such...

Article in English: Toothpaste contains microscopic abrasive particles that can polish and grind down the exterior layers. Again, do not use any fabrics that are coarse or abrasive on their own; they will leave additional scratches in the lens. Do not use circular motions as they can create circular scuff marks. The abrasives in toothpaste are harsher than microfiber cloth alone. Concentrating on a single area for too long could penetrate the exterior layers and damage the interior lens. You can use warm water or glass cleaners, or a combination of the two. Remove any remaining smudge marks from fingers or traces of residue from the toothpaste.

Article in English: Toothpaste should already be a standard part of your medicine cabinet and morning routine. Designed to be abrasive, toothpaste can fix a plastic scratch the same way it cleans teeth. Because it is home-based and shouldn't require additional purchases, toothpaste is the recommended remedy for fixing plastic scratches. It's important to make sure the toothpaste is an actual paste, as opposed to a gel-based toothpaste. In order for the scratch to work, the toothpaste needs to be abrasive. Check your toothpaste box if you're unsure about the kind of toothpaste you are using. A baking soda mixture has the same abrasive qualities as toothpaste. If you'd rather use baking soda, you can stir up a paste and use it in the same manner.

Article in English: Toothpaste works best for shallow scratches and scuffs on the reflective side. It will probably not work on a deep scratch. Scratches on the non-reflective label side should never be rubbed, and may have caused irreparable damage. If you have deep scratches, consider sending the disk to a disk repair service. You could also try more abrasive treatments, such as a non-petroleum-based metal polish.

Article in English: Toothpastes are a key part of your oral hygiene routine as they help remove food debris and plaque from your teeth and gums. Toothpastes can come in a gel, paste or powder form and while they may have similar ingredients, there are different kinds of toothpastes that are made for individual needs.  Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral found in water. Toothpastes with fluoride help prevent tooth decay by strengthening your tooth enamel and fighting away bacteria that cause cavities. Fluoride toothpaste is also recommended for toddlers and children but in a lower percentage. Too much fluoride can weaken the enamel. For children younger than three years, an amount equal to a grain of rice is enough. For children aged three to six years, use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Whitening toothpastes usually contain mild abrasives that are typically mineral compounds such as magnesium carbonate, hydrated aluminum oxides and calcium carbonate. These help remove surface stains that cause yellowing and help you to achieve a brighter tooth surface. Whitening toothpastes also often contain a small percentage of hydrogen peroxide, a bleaching agent that helps remove stains. Whitening toothpastes that contain hydrogen peroxide, which is effective, but it can cause sensitivity. You can ease the sensitivity by alternating between a whitening and sensitivity toothpaste every day.  Desensitizing toothpastes are best for people who have sensitive gums and teeth. These contain compounds such as potassium nitrate and potassium citrate with soothing effects to reduce sensitivity. To improve the effectiveness of these products, leave them on for at least two minutes before rinsing with water. For people with fluoride sensitivity, toothpastes with natural ingredients such as xylitol, green tea extract, papaya plant extract, citric acid, zinc citrate and baking soda are also effective in whitening and thoroughly cleaning teeth. Both manual and electric powered toothbrushes can effectively clean teeth. People who have...

Article in English: Top-level Domains (or TLDs) are the final part of your domain name, the letters following the dot. There are two TLDs that are commonly used regardless of the nature of the site and that is .com or .net. These are useful as people will assume it is one or the other if they can't remember or do not know your website address. There are a few domains that are used for businesses, beyond the normal two, and you may want to consider them. Using one of the unusual TLDs can help keep costs down, as these usually cost less money to register. Examples include .biz, .info, as well as the industry specific and qualification-requiring options. While the .org TLD is now open to anyone, it is usually used to indicate an organization or non-profit entity. If you are such an entity, it would be a good idea to get one of these domains, as it will lend legitimacy to your organization. While the two most common TLDs are usually used in personal sites, you do have a wide variety of options available to you, if you would rather set yourself apart or save some money. Widely consider your options before settling. There are also TLDs for many of the different countries and regions. If you have a business that only operates within your country, it may be a good idea to choose one of these. They also serve to set your site apart and lower the cost, as the name will be in less demand. Make sure when you choose a name and TLD that you read out loud how the whole thing sounds together. Look for ways in which the spelling or pronunciation might change if the dot was removed. People will accidentally create awkward or offensive phrases, especially if choosing one of the non-standard TLDs. You can also use this to your advantage and make your web address a phrase, like "noneofyour.biz" or "weare.us". Some TLDs require certain credentials to get. These include TLDs like .aero, .int, .museum, or .pro. If you have the credentials necessary to get one of these domains, you may want to consider it. Otherwise, don't worry about these, as you will...

Article in English: Topical anesthetics, used in conjunction with steroid cream, can be used before a bowel movement to reduce pain caused by anal fissures.  Xylocaine, lidocaine, tetracaine, and pramoxine are topical anesthetics. While some anesthetics are available over the counter, many require a prescription. Ask your doctor for a recommendation and, if needed, a prescription for an anesthetic to treat your anal fissures.  Creams are applied gently on the rectal region before a bowel movement, with a clean paper towel or wipe. Some drug stores sell wipes specifically designed for applying such creams. A small amount of a steroid is often combined with creams and ointments. This helps reduce inflammation and numb some of the pain associated with bowel movements.  If using steroids alongside aesthetics, you should not use the medication for more than 2 weeks. Using steroids for a longer period can thin parts of the rectum, resulting in further trauma to the area. Your physician should be able to recommend a stool softener for you. This will help ease the pain and labor involved during bowel movements, giving fissures a chance to heal.  While stool softeners are generally available over the counter, you should ask your physician for a recommendation. If you are breastfeeding especially, you want to find a brand of softener that will not harm your baby.  Take stool softeners as directed on the medication's label. Only take the suggested dosage and be aware of any possible side effects. Talk to your physician if you experience any side effects. Combing stool softeners with home remedies, like drinking extra fluids and eating a high fiber diet, can help with anal fissures. Some ointments contain a muscle relaxant called nitroglycerin. Nitroglycerin can relax the sphincter muscles and reduce contractions and spams during bowel movements, and also help increase blood flow to the anus. This reduces the trauma around the rectal region, giving anal fissures the chance to heal.  Nitroglycerin should be applied using a q-tip. Apply a...

Article in English: Topical applications containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and retinoids, which exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin, are helpful in treating hyperpigmentation of all types. The following types of topical applications are available:   Hydroquinone. This topical application is the most commonly used, and it's the only skin lightening treatment approved by the FDA.  Kojic acid. This acid is derived from a fungus and works similarly to hydroquinone.   Azelaic acid. Developed to treat acne, this has been found to be an effective treatment for hyperpigmentation as well.  Mandelic acid. Derived from almonds, this type of acid is used to treat all types of hyperpigmentation. If topical treatments don't work, your dermatologist might recommend getting a procedure done to target your hyperpigmentation. Available procedures include the following:  Skin peels, including salicylic acid peels, to treat darkened skin areas. Skin peels are used when topical therapy fails. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy. These target selective dark spots only. IPL devices are used under strict supervision under a trained physician. Laser skin resurfacing. This is a very popular option among people with hyperpigmentation. Seek an experienced practitioner; abrading the skin can cause irritation, making the discoloration worse. Microdermabrasion should not be done too often, as your skin needs time to heal between treatments. If you want to treat hyperpigmentation without getting a prescription, look for these over-the-counter options:  Skin lightening creams. These works by slowing down melanin production and removing existing melanin from the skin. Look for products that contain a combination of these ingredients: cysteamine, hydroquinone, soy milk, cucumber, kojic acid, calcium, azelaic acid, or arbutin.

This topical treatment is usually a cream or thick liquid that you drop onto a spot on your dog’s back, between his shoulder blades.  Check with your veterinarian as to which flea treatment you should use for your dog and what dosage to give. Boxes of these topical flea treatments usually come in different amounts based on the size of your dog. The reason why the topical treatment is applied to the spot between your dog’s back is so he cannot reach it once it’s applied. It takes a little time to soak in and start working, so you do not want your dog washing it off too soon. Some topical flea treatments include something called “permethrins.” While this is safe to use on dogs, it is toxic to cats. Do not use this product on your cats. Alternatively, you can use a few drop of lavender essential oil on your dog to help prevent and repel fleas. Flea collars are another method to help prevent fleas from taking up residence on your dog. Flea collars, however, need to be applied properly in order to work effectively. Once on your dog, you should be able to get two fingers in-between the collar and your dog’s neck. The collar should not be any tighter or looser than that. Most flea collars are longer than you’ll need, so cut off the excess portion of the collar once you’ve fit it on your dog.  If you aren’t sure which flea collar to use, ask your veterinarian or vet tech for a recommendation. Make sure to read the collar’s instructions. Some collars become less effective if they get wet. This means you may want to take the collar off or replace it if you dog goes for a swim. If the collar starts to irritate your dog’s neck, take it off. You may need to try another type of collar instead. Never use flea collars with any of these ingredients on cats — Amitraz, permethrin, organophosphates. In addition to store bought flea...

Article in English: Topical ointments like Oragel, Cepacol, and other products that contain benzocaine are great for numbing pain for a short amount of time. Press a dry cloth onto the affected area, then apply a numbing topical anesthetic. The dry cloth will help ensure the ointment gets absorbed efficiently without getting washed away by saliva. While it’s only a temporary fix, it’ll provide fast comfort for acute pain. Keep in mind that topical anesthetics will not last for more than an hour or so because the saliva washes the substance away. Mix one cup of warm water with one teaspoon of salt until the salt as dissolved. Gently swish the rinse around your mouth, then spit. While it’s not too helpful for deeper jaw pain associated with impacted teeth, it’ll alleviate surface swelling and damaged oral tissue that results when wisdom teeth erupt, or break through the gum surface. Cloves are a home remedy that might be able to help tooth pain. Use a cotton swab or ball to apply clove oil to the affected area, and you should experience a gentle, warm, numbing sensation. Try placing a whole clove onto the affected area if you have them handy and as long as the clove’s shape doesn’t cause any discomfort. If the tooth is not sensitive to cold, then you can also try placing a gauze wrapped ice cube on the area of your wisdom tooth that hurts. Leave it on for about 5 to 10 minutes to numb the area and then remove it for a while. Repeat as needed. It’s important to visit a dentist to see if the tooth is infected, is coming in on a bad angle, doesn’t have enough room to grow in, is pushing other teeth out of the way, or is causing any damage to your jaw or other parts of your mouth. If any of these apply, it’s possible that you’ll need to have your tooth or teeth extracted. It is also possible that a simple removal of the covering gum will make the pain go away as soon as the next day.

Article in English: Topical retinoids are gels or creams that you apply to your face as an acne treatment. They are an effective treatment for reducing acne. These medications require a prescription from your doctor or dermatologist.  You will need to apply the medicine three times per week at first and then work up to applying it once per day as your skin adjusts to it. The medicine will prevent your hair follicles from becoming clogged, which is a common cause of acne. Salicylic acid is one of the best products to help treat acne and dry out pimples. It helps to dry out the oils that cause the pimples. Look for products that have salicylic acid in them, including over the counter facial products. These products may be concentrated between 0.5% to 5%. Common side effects of salicylic acid include stinging at the site of application and skin irritation. If your acne is really red and irritated, then your doctor may decide to prescribe an antibiotic. Antibiotics are often combined with other medications such as retinoids or benzoyl peroxide products to help clear up and prevent infections caused by acne. Make sure that you use the antibiotic exactly as instructed by your doctor. Improper use of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistant infections. Benzoyl peroxide is a substance that eliminates the bacteria on the face that causes acne. It also helps remove excess oils as well as dead skin on your face, which will dry out the pimples quickly. Over the counter products have benzoyl peroxide in concentrations of 2.5% to 10%. Look for one with a concentration that matches the severity of your pimple. In addition to drying out the pimple, benzoyl peroxide may cause burning, scaling, stinging, and irritation on your skin where you apply these products. If you are female, then you can also consider taking an oral contraceptive to help dry out pimples and fight acne. Oral contraceptives are often effective at treating acne, but talk with your doctor about the potential side effects of these medications. If you already take birth...

Article in English: Tor is a free distributed network that keeps you anonymous while you while you are connected through the browser. Information is bounced between a large number of relays that exist all over the globe. Tor allows you to bypass any firewalls or restrictions placed on your connection. The drawback is that websites load slowly, as the data has to travel great distances to reach you. The Tor browser bundle is a self-contained program that does not need to be installed. You can place it onto a USB drive and plug it into any computer.  The browser bundle is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The Tor browser is a modified version of Firefox, and shares a lot of interface similarities with it. When you run the browser program, a window will appear showing the status of the Tor connection. Once the connection is established, the browser will open. Only traffic sent through the Tor browser will be sent through the Tor network. That means that Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, or any other browser will not be anonymous through the Tor network while Tor is running. Once the browser window opens, you should see a page confirming that you are successfully connected to Tor. You should now be able to access sites that were previously blocked. Closing the browser window will stop Tor from running While data in the Tor network is encrypted, it cannot decrypt data leaving the Tor network. That means that any secure transactions that you need to make are just as vulnerable as they are on the regular internet. Only give out personal information to sites with SSL enabled. You will see HTTPS:// instead of HTTP:// and your browser address field will display a security lock.

Article in English: Tortoises come in many varieties, and there are many factors to consider when it comes to choosing one, from the way you want your tortoise to look, the environment your tortoise prefers, and how much money you want to "shell out" on this shelled creature. Any type of tortoise you choose will make a wonderful pet for your family, once you commit to caring for this particular species. Some of the more common species of tortoises include the Sulcata, Leopard, Redfoot, Yellowfoot, Greek, Russian, Hermanns, and Indian Star. Here are some things you need to know about choosing a tortoise: Though the tortoise you bring home may be small and cute initially, some species of tortoises can grow over two feet in length after 5-10 years of care. If you're really committed to having one for a long time, try not to get caught in their appearance, and consider what species best suit your lifestyle, financial income, surroundings and whether or not you're able to provide the required care of that specific species. It's important to purchase your tortoise from a seller that you respect, who has a history of making a successful sale and who can promise that you have been given the tortoise under healthy conditions. Avoid getting your creature at a reptile show, because this may make it likely that you won't be able to get in touch with the seller again after buying a tortoise, so there's no way he or she can check up on how you're caring for your tortoise.  Find a seller who prides themself in customer service, whether you are going to a pet store or finding your creature online. If your seller says that he or she will be easy to contact after the sale is made, then it's more likely that you are making a solid transaction. There are some legal restrictions on keeping or breeding some tortoises, especially Mediterranean breeds. If this is the case for the tortoise you want, then make sure the seller has a certificate from C.I.T.E.S. (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). If you're only around to take care of...

Open this file. This lets you edit the file even if you are not an administrator account, and gives you an unaltered backup copy in case something goes wrong with your game. The file should begin with a list of faction names, sorted underneath the words "playable," "unlockable," and "nonplayable." Select all factions underneath "unlockable," cut them from the document, and paste them into the list under "playable." Before you do the same for the factions underneath "nonplayable," read the following warnings:  In the original campaign, the maximum number of playable factions is 20. Keep at least one faction underneath "nonplayable" to avoid bugs.  In the original campaign, most people experience frequent crashes when playing as the "romans_senate" (SPQR) or "slave" (rebels) factions. See Tips below for a possible workaround. In the Barbarian Invasion, the following factions should be left under "nonplayable" (they crash the game if you attempt to play as them): romano_british, ostrogoths, slavs, empire_east_rebels, empire_west_rebels, slave.

Article in English: Total monthly rent is the amount of rent charged every month that the tenant will occupy the apartment, condo or house for a full month. Divide the total monthly rent amount by the number of days in the month to determine a daily rent rate.  Use the current month. January, March, May, July, August, October and December have 31 days. April, June, September and November have 30 days. February has 28 days except for leap years, when it has 29 days. For example, in September, if you were paying $900 a month, you would divide 900 by 30 since September has 30 days. This equals a daily rent rate of $30. Multiply this daily rent rate by the total number of occupancy days to determine the prorated rent amount.  Number of occupancy days is how many days you will be renting the apartment before the first day of the next month begins.  For example, if you moved in on September 20, your number of occupancy days is 11 (just like hotels book rooms, you include the day you move in). 11 days x 30$/day = 330$ total. ANSWER = [(rent for a month) / 30] x # of days you’re staying

Article in English: Touch can provide support on physiological and psychological levels. Maintain touch with your partner through times of change. Hold hands, put your arms around each other, and show that you want to be close together. Maintain your sex life and prioritize having sex together. Scheduling sex doesn’t sound sexy, but it can help you connect regularly. If you’re feeling disoriented by change, bring something old and familiar back into your relationship. Maintain a sense of normalcy (or nostalgia) by doing something you used to do together once again. Perhaps you enjoyed watching old episodes of “I Love Lucy” together when you first started dating. Invite your partner to watch an episode with you. Re-create a date you both enjoyed or eat a treat you have fond memories of together. Find an activity that both of you want to do and do it together. Even when change might feel bad, do something new that feels good. Doing something new together can ignite feelings of excitement and emotional intimacy. Go ice skating or spelunking. Try a new activity together such as golf or painting. Whatever it is, make it fun and appealing to each of you. Plan time to spend time together, just the two of you. This can be a great way to reconnect and enjoy time together on a regular basis. Keeping your dates consistent can give you something to look forward to and a way to know that you can spend time meaningfully connecting. Avoid topics like finances and focus on reminiscing about when you were first dating, fond memories of your kids, and other pleasant memories. You may want to take some time off from experiencing changes and have some time together, just the two of you. Take a weekend and go somewhere nice where you can spend time together, be affectionate, and enjoy each other’s company. It can be nice to get away from pressures and deadlines and changes to just having time together. Get out of the house and away from the to-do lists. Go somewhere that brings you peace and calm and inspires connection with your partner.

Article in English: Touching your sore with unwashed hands can lead to a bacterial infection, and you could also spread the sores to another area of your body. Use warm, soapy water to wash your hands often throughout the day. When you have a cold sore outbreak, you are highly contagious and the virus can be easily spread to another person. Avoid kissing or having your cold sore come in contact with someone else. Similarly, avoid oral sexual activity during an outbreak. This can risk transmitting the virus and infecting the other person with genital herpes. Do not share drinking glasses, straws, toothbrushes, razors, towels, or other items that have come in contact with someone with cold sores. Similarly, do not share these items with someone else if you have cold sores. Throw away your toothbrush when you have a cold sore outbreak. You can risk continuing the virus if you keep exposing yourself to it through your toothbrush.

Article in English: Tough girls aren’t known for their bubbly personalities. An easy way not to smile is to scowl. To do this bite down on the insides of your cheeks, which will turn the corners of your lips downward. If your current wardrobe consists primarily of floral prints and bright colored frocks, you’ll need to make a change.   The color black is a primary color in the tough girls’ wardrobe. So consider wearing all-black outfits or outfits in which a primary piece is black. Wear ripped denim, and clothing with a skull and bones theme.  Pick out ripped denim and clothing with a skull and bones theme. If you don’t already own these two items, make sure you purchase a motorcycle jacket and a nice pair of leather boots. Incorporate tough-girl accessories. Accessories will help pull your outfit together, and help emphasize your tough-girl image. Spikes are a common accessory that can be found on bracelets, rings, or parts of your clothing, like the collar of a blouse or the sleeves of a jacket. You can also look for jewelry with the skull and bones image. Pick up a pair of dark sunglasses to toughen up your look. Hiding your eyes will make you seem mysterious and unapproachable. Some noticeably tough-looking hairstyles include short, spiky hairdos and fauxhawks or Mohawks. You can shave one or both sides of your head. Or ask your stylist to give your hair a pop of color, like neon blue or purple. Choose a bold (typically dark) lip color, dark eyeshadow, and thick mascara. The heavy colors will darken your expression, and give you the “don’t mess with me” look you want.

Article in English: Tougher and/or low-fat cuts like flank steak, sirloin, skirt, flat iron, round, and hanger steaks are best for marinating. The marinade soaks into the meat, adding flavor and helping to tenderize the meat.  Don't ruin expensive steaks by marinating them; quality cuts like rib-eye, porterhouse, T-bone, filet mignon, and NY strip are great as they are don't need to be marinated. For more info, see How to Understand Cuts of Beef. Marinade works because acids break down muscle and connective tissue, which is a slow process; if the meat is thick, the outside can get sour by the time the marinade actually penetrates the core. In general, the more surface area that's exposed to the marinade, the better the marinade will do its job. A basic marinade consists of an acidic liquid (which will break down muscle fibers), oil, and other flavorings, such as sweeteners, herbs, and/or spices. Marinades can be sweet and salty, Italian flavor, barbecue flavor - if you have a taste for it, chances are you can make it into a marinade. Choose a bottled marinade or mix your own using one of the ingredient lists in this article.  Most marinades use one of the following acidic liquids as a tenderizer: wine, vinegar, or lemon juice. However, don't go overboard: while acidic marinades work by breaking down (denaturing) protein bonds, putting a steak in a highly acidic marinade (pH around 5 or lower) for more than two hours has the opposite effect, tightening the protein bonds, drawing out moisture, and making the meat tougher. There are also tenderizing enzymes in ginger, kiwi, papaya, and pineapple. It's possible to go overboard with these, too, turning the steak into mush. Dairy products like Greek yogurt and buttermilk can also have a tenderizing effect, although the way this works is not fully understood. Most likely, it’s due to the lactic acid content. You can use any type of plastic, glass or ceramic food storage container. Pour enough marinade over the meat to cover it entirely. Don't worry about adding too much.  Marinating a...

Article in English: Toughness and confidence go hand in hand. Being tough comes down to the choices you make about handling any given situation. Having confidence in yourself makes it possible to make the right choice and follow through with it. If you're not sure you're capable of stepping up to a challenge, it's probably because your self-confidence needs a boost.  Learn to recognize your true opinions, rather than letting yourself be swayed by what other people think. Trust yourself to know the right way to handle a situation. Don't compare yourself to other people. It's a rabbit hole many of us fall into time and time again, but comparing yourself to others undermines your self-esteem. Next time you're faced with a decision, look inward. Learn to say no. People will respect your opinion more if you actually say what you think. Always look them in the eye when saying no, so they'll know that you're sure. Do you blow your top or burst into tears when something makes you angry or upset? Being tough doesn't mean not having emotions, but it does mean keeping them in check so you can think clearly and make rational decisions. Start reigning yourself in a bit if you tend to react strongly to unwelcome news.  Before you do anything, take a deep breath and count to ten. This well-known trick for keeping yourself together really does work. After 10 seconds, the first surge of emotion will calm down a bit. Channel your energy instead of unleashing it on other people. Exercising, writing in a journal, and  practicing meditation are good ways to give your emotions a positive output. If you're going to be tough, you can't let disappointing news or a negative comment ruin your day. If every little challenge makes you feel as though you're coming undone, you won't have energy left over for making strong choices regarding bigger issues. Work on developing a thicker skin.  Worrying excessively about other people's judgments is a waste of your time. It's a given that people will disagree with you and judge your choices sometimes; that's their...

They’ll be able to share their likes and dislikes with you, which will help you be a better guide once you find a job. When you go on tours, be sure to bring a notebook with you to keep track of your thoughts about the experiences. You can refer back to these notes later if you’re weighing different job offers.
