Article in English: Choose a stem that has a growing tip with at least two pairs of leaves under it. Snip the stem off just above the set of leaves that are third from the top. The cutting should be about 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.6 cm) long. Use a sharp knife to remove the extra leaves sticking out from the leaf node, as well as the stem below the leaf node. Apply hormone powder to the cut portion of the stem by quickly dipping the end into the powder. Rooting hormone encourages the development of roots. A well-drained and nutritional mix, like one made with compost and vermiculite, works well. Use a 2.25-inch (7.5-cm) pot for one cutting or 3-inch (7.6-cm) pot for three to four cuttings. The cuttings need plenty of light to thrive, but direct sun can cause more harm than good. A good place to let them sit would be beneath a sunny window with sheer curtains. Use a spray bottle and apply enough water to keep the surface of the growing medium moist, but do not soak it. If the plants sit in water, the stem may rot. Once the plant has several stems growing off it, the roots should be sturdy enough to transplant. Carefully pry the plant—stems, roots, and soil—from its current container. Transfer each plant individually into separate pots that are at least 3.5 inches (9 cm). Make sure that the pots have been previously filled with the same growing medium.  Note that instead of planting the fuchsia cutting into a smaller pot and later transplanting it into a larger, "middle stage" pot, you can also plant the cutting directly into this middle stage pot. You will need to be more vigilant about proper lighting and watering conditions in order to ensure that the cutting takes root, though. Continue keeping the soil moist, and provide the same type of sun you provided while in the beginning stages.

Отрежьте у здоровой фуксии черенок. Отрежьте лишние листья. Окуните черенок в раствор для роста растений. Наполните небольшой горшок землей для рассады. Не ставьте горшок с черенком прямо под солнечные лучи. Держите землю в горшке увлажненной. Когда фуксия подрастет, то пересадите ее в горшок побольше.


Article in English: Choose a stencil design that appeals to you, then place that stencil on top of a flat sheet of paper.  Keep the stencil flat and in place by holding it with paper clips or tape. Protect any background area beyond the perimeter of the stencil by covering it with scrap paper. Tape this scrap paper to the stencil to prevent it from falling off. Note that you may wish to cover the entire working area beneath the paper with a Teflon pressing sheet or cookie sheet to help catch any excess Pearl Ex pigment. As long as the pigment is not contaminated by adhesive or other debris, it can be reused for other projects. Lightly coat the stenciled area with spray adhesive, holding the can approximately 12 inches (30.5 cm) away from the paper as you spray it.  Always apply spray adhesive in a well-ventilated area. Alternatively, you could apply standard PVA (white) glue to the paper using a paintbrush. Apply an even coat of glue to each opening in the stencil design. To create fine lines, dots, or other raised features, draw them on using the tip of a standard PVA glue bottle. Allow the adhesive to set for two minutes before continuing. After it sets, remove the stencil.  Giving the adhesive time to set minimizes the risk of smudging the stenciled design. Even so, you should still remove the stencil, scrap paper, paperclips, and tape very carefully to avoid smears. Do not let the adhesive dry completely. It should still be tacky to the touch. Coat a dry paintbrush with Pearl Ex pigment, then brush the powder over the adhesive until you fill in the entire design. Note that you can use multiple colors of Pearl Ex pigment, but you will need to apply each with a different paintbrush to avoid accidental blending. Allow the adhesive to finish drying. After it dries, dust away any excess powder with a dry, clean paintbrush. Once the adhesive dries, the project is complete.

Article in English: Choose a suit that is made of light-weight fabric, such as wool or cotton. If you are choosing a wool suit, a half-lining or quarter-lining in the suit jacket will help the suit breathe and keep you cooler. Half-lined jackets have lining along the back on the upper half, in the sleeves, and along the sides of the jacket. There is no lining on the back on the bottom half.  Choose blue, gray or a lighter-colored suit. Stay away from black, which is usually somber. Stay away from linen, which has a tendency to wrinkle very quickly. This might result in your outfit looking poorly put together or slovenly. If the suit has a skirt, make sure it is an appropriate length. If the skirt reaches your knees, then it will be a good conservative length. Moreover, you can be assured that when you sit, your skirt will cover your upper legs properly. Women also have the option of wearing a dress instead of a suit. The dress should only be sleeveless if you plan to wear a suit jacket with it. The dress’s skirt length should reach your knees. Choose a neutral or muted color. Do not wear a wild or overly colorful print, unless you are in a design or highly creative field. A silk or rayon shell can be a good choice, as long as you are wearing a suit jacket to cover up your arms. A crisp cotton shirt in white also always looks light and airy.  Do not choose a sleeveless shirt. Tank tops are definitely not a good choice for a job interview, and even tasteful sleeveless shirts can be questionable for some people. If you wear a shirt with very short or cap sleeves, be sure you are not showing any bra strap. Make sure your shirt is modest. Select a shirt that does not reveal much cleavage and that fits well If you opt for a dress, you can still pair this with a suit jacket to complete your look.  You can also wear a tasteful belt around your waist with the suit jacket. However, this might limit your ability to take off your suit jacket while you are traveling to your interview. Keep in mind that the office where you’re interviewing is...

Article in English: Choose a sunflower with bright, undamaged petals and pluck these petals off one by one using your fingers. Try not to damage the petals as you pull them off. Place the petals in a single layer between two sheets of blotting paper, parchment paper, or paper towels (blotting paper is the best option). Place the sheets between two pieces of cardboard. Set a heavy book on top, and let the petals dry for several weeks. You can also simply place the paper towels or blotting paper between pages in a heavy book. After two or three weeks, remove the cardboard and blotting paper carefully and pick the petals up gently. If the petals still feel moist, lay out new blotting paper and continue pressing them for another week or so before checking them again. Lay out two sheets of paper towel on a microwave-safe plate. Arrange the petals in a single layer on top of these paper towels, then place another two sheets of clean paper towels on top of the petals. Microwave the petals on high power for 20 to 40 seconds or until the petals completely dry out. The paper towels will wick away the moisture released by the sunflower petals as you microwave them. If they still fill damp, continue microwaving them in 10 second intervals until they feel dry. Do not let the petals become crisp, though. You could also let the paper towels sit out for a few minutes to let them dry instead of using new paper towels. You should let the petals rest on your paper towels for several hours before you use them, which helps with preservation.

Article in English: Choose a theme and color scheme, and stick with it. Make sure that you have large and small plants. Different textures will also help create a more unique arch.  You can buy the flowers and greenery online or from an arts and crafts store.  Roses and ferns are great for a classic theme, but you can use other types of flowers and greenery, such as succulents or eucalyptus. How many flowers you buy depends on how full you want your arch to be. You can cover the tops and sides of the arch, or you can cover just one corner of it. into bundles, if desired. Gather 5 to 7 flowers into a bundle, then wrap green floral tape or wire around the stems to hold them together. This way, you can secure the flowers to the arch in bundles and save yourself some time and effort. If your flowers came in a spray, you can leave them attached to the main stem, or you can cut them into individual flowers with wire cutters. Hold the plant parallel to the cross piece. Use your other hand to wrap green floral wire around the pole and the stem. Start at the end of the stem and work to the other end. You don't need to wrap the entire stem—as long as it feels stable, you should be good. Cut the excess wire off with wire cutters.  Repeat this step a few more times to attach more stems and plants. Be sure to overlap them in order to hide the wire-wrapped stems. Ferns lend a classic touch, but you can also use other types of greenery as well, such as leaves or eucalyptus. Try to use 2 to 3 different types of greenery for a more varied look. Again, hold the stem against the pole, then lash it in place with green floral wire. If you need to, trim the stems down so that they fit along the pole and don't stick out. Start with the largest flowers/bundles first, then fill the gaps in with the smaller ones. Work your way along the cross bar, and if desired, the poles. You do not need to cover the entire arch, however. For a unique touch, consider covering just the top left or right corner, stopping the flowers halfway along the cross bar and pole....

Article in English: Choose a time when your parents are not busy or distracted. They should not have anywhere they need to be. For example, try talking on a Saturday afternoon when your parents are relaxing in the living room.  Pay attention to the timing. For example, if you know that your parents are having a difficult time paying the bills, now might not be a good idea to ask for a cat. Alternatively, choose a time when a big occasion is coming up, such as your birthday or junior high graduation. When you're ready to talk, it's important to be direct. Instead of dropping hints, calmly and maturely raise the issue of getting a cat. If you try to worm your way around the topic, your parents may get frustrated and lose their patience.  For example, say, "Guys, I wanted to talk to you about something. I've been thinking it over for awhile, and I would really like my own cat." Your parents' reaction may be an outright "No." If this happens, try: "I did a lot of research. I don't expect to change your mind, but please hear me out." A little flattery goes a long way. You don't want to come off as entitled or spoiled, so show your parents you appreciate them when asking. This will show that you are considerate of all that you do for them, and that you don't expect anything or take anything for granted.  For example, say, "I know how hard you guys work, and I really appreciate everything you do. If I had my own cat, I would make sure to take care of it so you don't have to." Don't suck up to your parents with too much flattery, however, or you will come off as insincere. Remember the list of concerns and solutions you made? Before your parents can raise objections, let them know you've thought ahead. Tell them how a cat can safely fit into your household. Say something like:  "I know we have a lot of expensive furniture, but I found this product called Soft Paws. They're plastic caps you put over a cat's claws. My friend's cat has them, and it never damages the furniture." "I understand that a cat will need food, toys, and other...

Article in English: Choose a topic—it can be whatever you want, try and find something you enjoy to write so you will not get bored—and write at least five sentences about it. If you’re not feeling too creative, simply copy a passage out of a book or newspaper. The goal is to get an idea of what your handwriting looks like on average. The more you write, the more accurate your analysis will be. Is your handwriting full of loops and curves? Is it primarily straight lines and stiff in appearance? Do you have hard corners, or do your letters blend together? The angle at which you write your letters can make or break your handwriting. Is your handwriting perpendicular to the lines under it? Does it fall to the left or to the right significantly? A slight slant is typically not a problem, but too much of one can make reading difficult. Do your words tend to be written on an upwards or downwards angle? Do they overlap with the lines on the page? Is every word individually angled, or do your entire lines of text head in a similar direction away from the line? The distance between your words and letters helps determine the quality of your handwriting. There should be enough space between each word to fit the letter “O.” Using more or less space than this can be an indicator of poor handwriting. Pay attention also to the closeness of each individual letter. Cramped writing or letters that are spaced far apart are also difficult to read. Turns out size does matter, at least with handwriting. Does your writing fill up the entire space between two lines? Can you write all your words in less than half the space between two lines? Taking up a large amount of space or using too little are both things to avoid. Look at the actual lines that comprise your writing. Are they drawn with heavy pressure, or are they faint and hard to read? Are your lines straight, or are they kind of squiggly and uneven? Considering all of the aforementioned, what is it that your handwriting needs in order to improve? Possible changes can be made to the shape of...

Article in English: Choose a vine with slipping bark, then cut away the top of the vine with a saw.  This method is also among the simplest grafting methods for grape vines, but it tends to be slightly less particular and slightly less successful than cleft grafting. Bark slipping occurs when the bark actually begins to separate and peel away from the wood of the vine. Ideally, you should wait until all of the bark on a vine begins to split before trying to use this grafting method. You only need to cut 4 inches (10 cm) or so from the top of the vine. You can cut more if you desire a shorter head height, though. Select a dormant scion and slice off a portion of bark and wood along the bottom half of the shoot using a sharp, clean blade.  This cut should be about 2 inches (4 cm) long and should be straight yet slanted. For best results, position this cut on the opposite side of the bud.  Make a secondary cut on the opposite (bud) side of the scion. This cut should be similar in shape but only one-third the length of the primary cut. Use the same blade to cut into the side of the rootstock, near the cut top. The portion you cut away should match the shape and size of the portion removed from the scion.  Remove the loose outer bark from the intended grafting location. Hold the cut edge of the scion against the intended grafting location on the stock. Cut a slit into the bark on both sides. The slit should be as wide as the diameter of the scion and as deep as the full scion length. Slip the cut surface of the scion into the newly cut wedge of in the rootstock.  You may need to use a flat screwdriver to help you peel away the flap of bark on the stock. Roughly one-third to one-half of this flap should be removed before you place the scion into the wedge. The long side of the scion should be placed against the trunk of the stock. Wrap the grafted vines together with a durable rubber band or heavy-duty tape. Seal the entire exposed area with grafting compound. For additional security, hold the graft together with 1-inch (2.5-cm) long...

Article in English: Choose a wide bowl with room to stir the rice. You can instead use a special rice-draining colander, which has extra-small holes so the water pools and drains slowly. Fill the bowl with tap water until the rice is completely covered. About three times as much water as rice should work. The rice will rub against itself, your hands, and the bowl, which scrapes the starch off. Use light pressure to avoid breaking the rice grains. Since rice is not buoyant, it will sink to the bottom of the bowl. Pour out the cloudy water, plus anything that has floated to the surface. Pour the water through the palm of your hand so you can catch any rice that slips out.  If the water looked dirty or an opaque, milky white, you can repeat this process with a second bowl of water. As long as there is no dirt or pesticides in the water, you can save it to add to recipes. The most common use of starchy water is as a thickener for sauces. At this point, many Western cooks may be satisfied moving on to cooking the rice. Japanese and other Asian traditions, however, put great value in cleaning the rice thoroughly to achieve a perfect, fluffy texture. The next step in that process is "polishing" the rice grains against each other. Curl your fingers into a loose fist and punch the rice gently at a steady pace. Turn the bowl between punches to move the wet rice around the bowl, grinding it lightly against itself. After a few punches, pour in more water, swirl the rice around, and pour it out again. "Punch and turn" a few more times, add more water, and pour it out. Repeat this until the water runs clear. Depending on the type of rice and how it was processed, this may take a couple bowlfuls of water, or it may take several minutes of washing. Transfer the wet rice to a mesh sieve to drain. Leave it there to soak for at least thirty minutes if you have the time. This gives the moisture on the rice time to soak into the center of the grain, ensuring an even texture once cooked.  Soaking your rice lowers the cooking time. The exact amount of...

Article in English: Choose a wide-enough open space in which you can assemble your tent. If you're in a state or national park, make sure that you're camping in a designated camping area. Make sure that you're not on private property and follow all the laws in the area that govern camping. Position the side of the tent with doors away from the prevailing wind, making the tent less likely to balloon and create extra tension on the stakes.  Try to use the natural tree line to create a windbreak if it's especially windy. Move closer to the trees so they'll block off the breeze a little bit. Avoid camping in dry river/creek beds in case flash flooding occurs and avoid camping under trees, which can be dangerous in storms and can drop branches without warning on your tent. It can be a good idea to anticipate the sun's path for the morning time, so you won't be rudely awakened. In the summertime, tents can act like ovens, meaning that you'll wake up sweaty and irritable if you set up your tent in the direct path of the sun. In the ideal tent placement, you'll remain in the shade through the morning so you can wake up comfortably at a time of your choosing. Keep the sleeping area well away from cooking and toilet areas, preferably upwind of them. If you have a fire at your campsite, make sure it's not close enough to spray sparks onto the tent, and make sure you put your fire out completely before you turn in for the night.

Article in English: Choose an appropriate time and place to talk with a woman. Grocery stores, museums, coffee shops and dog parks are great places to meet women who are enjoying themselves and usually feeling relaxed. When a woman is at a bar or club, she is already on her guard. She may not be looking for a long-term relationship, or she might be out with the girls for the night. The place is not ideal for connecting with someone more than casually. . People generally appreciate a good sense of humor. Be friendly and make light-hearted jokes to make the girl laugh. There are a lot of different situations that lend themselves to demonstrating your sense of humor. Try making jokes at the following things:  The circumstance around you. If you’re at a park or walking down the street and you notice something funny, say something about it. Make a joke about yourself. If you’re really tall, talk about how you can see the next city from your viewpoint. Tell a funny story about yourself. Did you get into a silly fight in middle school? Tell her about it, and be sure to include the details about the ridiculous clothes you wore at the time or what song you rocked out to right before you got into the fight. Talk about current events. Some things that happen in the news or with celebrities can be good material for making jokes. These jokes might work well as your personal inside jokes later on. Careful not to use crude or offensive humor. Until you know someone very well, this type of humor should be avoided at all costs. Show her that you’ve noticed something about her by complimenting her on it. For example, you might tell her:  ”I really like your hair long like that.” “You made some really smart points in the class debate today.” ”You’re really easy to talk to.” Once you find out the girl’s name, be sure to use it several times in the conversation.

Article in English: Choose an area with a good bit of flat space that you can work with and a good counter. A bathroom is a good place. You'll also want an area that is easy to sterilize and clean up all the blood when you're done. First of all, make a solution of 1 part bleach and four parts water. Clean the bathroom thoroughly. Scrub any area that you think you might touch during the procedure. Clean every inch of the counter. The cleaner this place is, the safer you are. If you bought sterile clamps and jewelry, then great, but if not, it might be a good idea to boil these in a pot of water, then wipe them down with some of your bleach and water solutions. It's probably a good idea to sterilize these regardless since you don't know what they may have come into contact with since you got them. Once everything is clean, put on a pair of gloves and lay out all your supplies. Extra gloves, sterile needle, sterile clamps, sterile jewelry, alcohol wipes, a marker, and a small blob of A&D ointment. Remove your gloves and throw them away. Now, put on a pair of fresh, clean rubber gloves. Use an alcohol wipe to clean off the area where you want to pierce yourself. Use a marker to make two dots, one where you want the needle to go in, and one where you want the needle to come out. Make sure that these dots are a suitable distance apart for your jewelry. Take a step back and imagine it with jewelry in it. Make very sure that it is straight and just how you want it because it is a pain to have to take it out and redo it all over again. Realize that marking these dots does not guarantee that this is where the jewelry will go. If you move (due to, for example, serious pain), you might shift the needle and end up with a crooked piercing. A good reason to have someone else do this for you. Put on a fresh pair. Now take your clamps (if you have them) and stretch out the skin in the place you have marked. Line up the two dots on either side of the skin and gently let the clamps close on the skin. You should be able to see one dot on each side...

Article in English: Choose an area with good lighting. Cover your work surface with newspaper or a cheap, plastic, tablecloth. If you will be working with spray paint, it would be best if you work in a well-ventilated area; outside would be best. If there are any places on your plastic you do not wish to paint, cover them in painter's tape. Spray paint works especially well for plastic, but you can use acrylic or enamel/model paint as well. It would be even better if the paint is meant for plastic. Check the label, and look for words such as: "Plastic" or "Multi-Surface." At this point, your project is complete and ready to use. If you'd like to add some details or a top coat, read on to the next part. If you applied masking tape earlier, you should remove it now.

Article in English: Choose an over-the-counter cream containing a beneficial active ingredient, such as retinol, vitamin C, or alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs). Products that are more expensive or that contain more active ingredients may not be more effective than products that contain only 1 or 2 active ingredients, so don't let these factors sway you to choose 1 anti-wrinkle cream over another. Try your cream for 6-8 weeks before evaluating its effectiveness. Some other helpful active ingredients to look for include:  Coenzyme Q10 Peptides Tea extracts Grape seed extract Niacinamide Keeping your skin clean and avoiding irritation while cleansing your skin is another great way to minimize the appearance of wrinkles. Choose a facial cleanser that is labeled as gentle or for sensitive skin, and wash your face with it in the morning, at night, and any time your skin is sweaty or dirty. Choose a cleanser that does not contain any exfoliants. These are more likely to irritate your skin. A manual exfoliant contains granules that polish your skin, while a chemical exfoliant dissolves the dead skin cells. This will buff away dead skin cells to reveal younger, smoother skin. The best time to exfoliate is in the morning, as your skin repairs itself overnight.  If you choose to use a chemical exfoliant, you can do a mini chemical peel at home. You can obtain a kit at most beauty stores. If you choose to use an exfoliating brush, you can use it daily.  You could also make your own exfoliant using ingredients like salt, sugar, baking soda, coffee grounds, honey, or lemon juice. No product will produce dramatic results overnight. It will take at least a few weeks of regular use and possibly a couple of months before you notice a difference. You will likely need to apply the anti-wrinkle cream in the morning and at night after cleansing your skin. Follow the instructions on the package for use and see if your wrinkles improve after a month or 2.  Keep in mind that products that contain alpha-hydroxy acids or retinol may irritate the skin around...

Article in English: Choose anti-inflammatory medications such as acetaminophen. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and let your doctor know that you're taking OTC pain relievers so they don't interfere with your other medications. OTC pain relievers can help you manage the pain of early ulcers. To ease the pain and discomfort of a throat ulcer, make a saltwater solution of 1 teaspoon (6 g) of baking soda mixed with 1 teaspoon (5 g) of salt and 4 cups (950 ml) of warm water. Gargle with the mixture for at least 30 seconds and then spit it out. You can gargle with saltwater as often as you like. For example, if you have severe ulcers, gargle every 1 to 2 hours. This helps prevent further irritation and worsening of the throat ulcer. Instead of eating crunchy foods that could scratch your throat or spicy foods that can cause irritation, eat smooth foods that are easy to swallow. Try soups, milkshakes, smoothies, or soft eggs. If the ulcer makes you more sensitive to heat, eat warm or cold foods instead of hot foods. Hot beverages can irritate the ulcer, causing your pain to worsen. Hot beverages can also prolong the healing process, since they aggravate the ulcer. Instead, opt for warm beverages, which will help soothe the ulcer. For example, you could start your morning with warm tea rather than coffee. Unfortunately, caffeine, chocolate, mint, citrus, and hot spices can all aggravate your throat ulcer. Luckily, this is easy to avoid by cutting out these foods until your ulcer heals. Wait until your throat is completely healed before reintroducing them to your diet, as they could cause the ulcer to worsen. If the throat ulcer is causing bad breath or your ulcer was caused by a bacterial or fungal infection, spend a little more time brushing your teeth. Remember to brush your tongue to remove bacteria that linger between your taste buds. You can brush your teeth more than 2 times a day, if you're concerned about bad breath. To prevent inflammation and irritation in your throat, try to cut back or stop smoking or chewing...

Some options for animals are a cat, dog, fish, or owl. For a scene, you could paint a house or tree branch with a bird sitting on it. If the rock is big enough, you can paint an inspirational word, like “believe,” or “hope.” You can also paint monsters on the rock, like Frankenstein’s monster, to put out during Halloween. Use acrylic paints from a tube, such as Liquitex, or a paint made for outdoor use such as Plaid paint. An acrylic patio paint, however, is ideal. It Is ideal because the paint is made to handle porous surfaces, like rocks, and weather the outside elements. A regular acrylic will work if you are planning to keep the rock inside, though.  The paint has a bird house shape on the top to indicate that the paint is outdoor safe. Make sure you have a palette to mix paint on. If you don't, you can use an old plate, wax paper, or foil folded around a piece of cardboard. The rocks will wear down the brushes as you paint them, especially if it is a hard rock. Get an inexpensive pack of brushes to use that has several sizes in it. This is so that you will have brushes to use for larger areas, then details can be painted with a smaller brush. If you want to use a specific type of brush, buy acrylic semi stiff brushes.

Article in English: Choose any flavor of shisha, or tobacco packed in molasses and glycerin. Before removing any from the container, mix it together to bring the flavorful syrup back up from the bottom. Take a small pinch of the shisha and gently break it apart between your fingers, over a plate. If you see stems, cut them into small pieces or discard them. Repeat until you have enough to loosely fill the bowl. Leave it loose, not packed, so air can flow through it. Add tobacco until it forms an even layer about 1/12—1/8” (2–3 mm) below the rim of the bowl. If stacked too high, it will stick to the aluminum foil and scorch.  If there are a few pieces sticking up too high, gently knock them down with a damp paper towel. You may want to practice with tobacco-free hookah molasses until you've learned the process. This is less likely to burn. You can buy a reusable hookah bowl screen for this purpose, but a homemade foil cover may control heat more reliably. Wrap aluminum foil tightly over the bowl to form a taut surface. Using a paper clip or needle, punch holes in the foil to allow air flow. Try a circle of holes near the outer rim, then more holes spiraling inward.  More holes means more heat on the tobacco, and therefore more smoke. Try starting with about 15 holes. If inhaling is difficult or you’d like more smoke, you can add more holes. Some people prefer 50–100 holes.  Make the holes small to avoid letting in flakes of ash. Attach the ash-collecting tray to the top of the hookah shaft. Fit the bowl over the top hole, making an airtight connection.

Article in English: Choose any size box that you desire. Boxes made with plain cardboard are easiest to convert into a manger, but you could also use a box that has a printed pattern. Use markers to draw wood grain on the outside of the cardboard box. Draw slightly curved lines across the box to resemble wood planks. Add details like wood swirls, knots and cracks to resemble wood. Consider drawing nails at each end of the box  as a finishing touch.  If you're using a box that has a design printed on it, cover it first with brown paper or cut up paper bags. Use double-sided tape or glue to secure the plain brown paper to the box and completely obscure the pattern underneath. When the glue is dry, use markers to create the wood grain pattern. Your manger doesn't have to be brown. You could cover the box with clay-colored paper, festive red and green Christmas colors, or any other colors you desire. If you're making the manger with kids, let them decide how to  decorate it in honor of Christmas. Arrange hay or straw along the inside and outside of the box. The hay will help disguise the box and create the appearance of a manger.

Article in English: Choose at least four to five simple rules for the classroom and write them down. You will use these rules to manage the classroom and establish boundaries among your students.  Your rules may include: all students must come to class on time and ready to learn, all students must be prepared to listen and ask questions by raising their hand, and all students must be aware of the consequences of missing class or turning in assignments late. You may also have a rule about playing fair with others in the classroom and listening respectfully to others when they speak. Make sure you have at least one to two rules that directly address discipline and behavior towards others in the classroom. Start the school year on the right foot by printing out the rules and handing them out to all students. You can also post them on the blackboard or put them on the class' online message board so they are readily available throughout the school year. Explain to your students that you expect them to all follow these four to five rules and to enforce these rules among themselves. You should be clear about the negative consequences of disruptive behavior in class. If a student talks over another student when he/she is speaking, for example, this could be considered disruptive and the consequence could be a reprimand from you. As well, if one student refuses to share an item with another student, this could be considered a violation of the rules and could lead to points deducted from his/her participation grade. Explain possible situations that may be considered disruptive or against the rules of the classroom.  You should also discuss the positive consequences of following the classroom rules, such as verbal praise, or entering a class raffle for a prize. You may also use the star system, where a student who follows the rules receives a gold star beside his/her name or a check mark. Group rewards can be effective, where you put a marble in a jar every time the group interacts well and follows the rules, and when the marbles reach a...

Article in English: Choose broccoli at the peak of broccoli season, in June or July. Look for broccoli with green, tight florets that have not begun to separate or turn yellow. Avoid broccoli with brown spots or bruises. Make sure you remove any dirt, bugs or traces of pesticides.  If you live in an area where pests or broccoli worms are a problem, prepare a saltwater bath and soak the broccoli for half an hour. This will kill the bugs and cause them to rise to the surface. Discard the saltwater, rinse the broccoli, and proceed.     Remove all leaves from the broccoli.    Slice the lower stem into chunks about 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) thick - about the thickness of a water chestnut. Discard the woody end of the stem. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon, stir and let sit for about 5 minutes. Pour the lemon-water into the cooking pot. Using a steamer basket to measure, add enough water so that the steamer basket will sit about 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the water. Remove the steamer basket after checking the water level. If you don't have a steamer basket, just add enough water to cover the amount of broccoli you are processing. Covering the pot with a lid makes the water boil faster and conserves energy. Cover the pot and bring it back to full boil. Once boiling has resumed, steam the broccoli for 5 minutes. If you aren't using a steamer basket, place the broccoli directly into the boiling water. Blanch it for two minutes, then remove it using a slotted spoon. Either place it under cold running water or plunge it into ice water. If you aren't using a steamer basket, transfer the broccoli directly from the pot to a colander, then cool it. Lay flat to freeze.  Put enough broccoli in each bag to make a meal for your family. This way you'll be able to defrost exactly as many as you need instead of the entire batch of broccoli. A rough measurement is one handful of florets per serving.     If you aren't using a vacuum sealer, close the zippered bag almost all the way. Insert a straw into the opening. Draw out the remaining air through the straw....

Article in English: Choose chukka boots, also called bucks or turf boots, to go with anything from jeans and a t-shirt to slim cuffed pants and a solid button-down. Combat or motorcycle boots can be worn with dark clothes and leather for an edgier style. Opt for a more formal boot like Chelsea boots to slip on with a suit or business-casual pants and button-down. Pair a quality, well-cleaned work or hiking boot with a t-shirt and jeans for a look you can wear all the time.

Article in English: Choose clothes made of natural fibers with a loose weave, such as cotton or linen. Light colors can also help keep you cooler since they don’t absorb as much light and heat as dark colors. Sweat stains show up most visibly on gray clothing, so try to avoid that color. Bring an extra shirt and a pair of pants or skirt that you can change into if you have sweaty spots on your outfit. Before changing, use a cloth or a handkerchief to wipe away excess sweat. Additionally, bring extra socks if your feet sweat a lot.  If necessary, swap out sweaty socks for a fresh pair 2 or 3 times a day. Pack extra clothes in a backpack or compact travel bag. You could also keep extra clothes in your car or in your office at work. Moisture-wicking apparel is made of specially designed fabric that absorbs and dispels sweat. Wear moisture-wicking undershirts and underwear to avoid visible sweat stains on your outer clothes. Moisture-wicking apparel can be pricey. Cotton undergarments are more affordable and can absorb sweat, but they’re not as effective as specialty performance apparel. If your hands sweat a lot, try spraying them with an aerosol antiperspirant in the morning and before bedtime. Rubbing them with baby powder, baking soda, or cornstarch as needed could also help keep them dry.  Remember to dry your hands well with a towel or blow dryer before applying antiperspirant. If your hands are often clammy, avoid using thick, oily lotions that contain petroleum jelly. Leather and other natural materials are good choices for dress shoes. When shopping for sneakers, look for options that have small holes for air circulation.  Additionally, wear sandals or go barefoot whenever possible so your feet can breathe. You could also purchase moisture-wicking athletic socks. If your head and face sweat a lot and ruin your makeup, apply a matting primer before foundation, blush, and eye makeup. After applying your makeup, finish with a setting spray or powder to prevent it from running.  You should also carry blotting wipes to soak up...

Article in English: Choose colors that are classic and bright for a theme that will last your child into their teens and beyond. Teal, bright green, white, and red make a good color palette that works for any gender child and will still appeal to a teen. A dark blue room with hints of silver throughout is a great basis for a room. Space is a fun theme for a kid that will still be "cool" when they're 16, if you do it right. Get items like a moon lamp, bedding with stars, icicle lights around the top of the room, and other details that draw the room together. And under-the-water look will appeal to lots of kids and it's easy to help it grow up with them. Use colors like light and dark teal, seafoam, and a few hints of green. This room works particularly well if you have beige carpets already installed. A couple of stuffed fish friends and something like a jellyfish lamp can further draw the room together. Excite your child's sense of adventure by giving them a room that any explorer would love. Paint the room with the muted colors of maps (off-white, light green, beige, and maybe some hints of red), and decorate with globes, vintage suitcase storage, airplane mobiles, and train maps. Some greens and browns, with a few hints of blues can create the basis of a room that your child can enjoy for years to come. This is a great room for a kid that loves stuffed animals, as they'll fit right in! Get a unique look by creating a wall tree out of paper, and a circular blue rug makes a great "pond" at the center of the room. If your little girl longs to be a princess, avoid painting the whole room pink by going with a fairy tale castle theme instead. Grassy green on the lower part of the walls and sky blue on the upper parts will create the look of rolling hills, some tall gray bookshelves can be painted to look like towers, and a stuffed dragon in the corner can complete the look.

Article in English: Choose fun, funky colors like bright pink, aqua, or lime green. This adds a splash of color to your outfits and beach looks, and you can easily pair this with bright-colored accessories as well. You can go with a solid-colored swimsuit in a bright color, or a colorful patterned one piece. For example, look for a bathing suit in hot pink or a suit with hot pink polka dots. Choose a darker color like black, blue, or purple for a flattering and slimming silhouette. These tones hide any uneven areas, so you can confidently take a dip or lay out in the sun.  White and light-colored swimsuits are much more revealing. They can show off imperfections that dark suits conceal, such as love handles. Swimsuits without much pattern or detailing work well as a slimming option. If you want to cover up just a bit, look for swimsuits that have a more conservative bottom. Many adorable styles come in boyshort or skirt options. That way, you won’t have anything to be self-conscious about when you wear your one piece. When shopping, you can ask an associate if they carry any of these styles. If you are having trouble finding them, order your bathing suit online. If you want a bathing suit with a sexy touch, look for deep “V” tops or flirty accents, like straps or ties. Small details like this can take a simple one piece to the next level! In addition, you can look for cut-out style one piece suits, where only the front of the suit is attached. To add some enhancement and emphasis to your chest, pick out one pieces with detailing on the top. This adds a flirty touch to your suit.  For example, look for patterns like polka dot or floral print, or go for ruffles or colored liners. If you want a bit more definition, you can also add bra inserts to your bathing suit top. If you want a bit more comfort while wearing your bathing suit, opt for a suit with an underwire top. This provides support and comfort whether you are lounging by the pool or wearing your one piece on a date. Underwire can also provide some lift and definition, and...

Article in English: Choose granulated white sugar, if you have it. Alternately, you can use coconut sugar, brown sugar or cane sugar. Use only a cup of sugar at a time.  Refined white sugar, when ground, has the closest texture to icing sugar. Breaking down more than a cup at a time won’t produce results as even in consistency. Combine cornstarch with granulated sugar if you’re going to store the sugar. Cornstarch helps prevent clumps so your sugar maintains a powdered consistency.  If you plan to use the sugar right away, cornstarch isn’t necessary. If you’re low on cornstarch, one teaspoon (six grams) will work. Pour the sugar into a glass blender or food processor. Add cornstarch, if desired. Pulse it for about two minutes.  Alternately, you can use a spice grinder or coffee grinder, but be aware these may absorb flavor from previously-used spices or coffee. You may want to avoid using a plastic blender. It’s unlikely – but possible – that sugar crystals may cause scratches to a plastic appliance. If you’re using a blender or food processor with multiple settings, choose “pulse” or “blend.” Wipe the spatula along the inside of the blender. Mix the sugar well so that it will blend and break down evenly. Turn off and unplug the appliance, if applicable. Pick up a bit of sugar in your fingers and feel the texture. Resume grinding the sugar if it feels gritty, until its texture is powdery. The sugar is done when it looks fine-grained and fluffy like confectioners’ sugar. Stir the sugar with a fork. Place a mesh strainer over a bowl. Spoon the sugar into the strainer. Tap the side of the sieve repeatedly to sift the sugar into the bowl.  Sifting aerates the sugar so that it’s lighter, fluffier and clump-free. If you don’t have a sifter, you can use a tea strainer or colander. Alternately, you can aerate the sugar by mixing it with a wire whisk. Use your newly ground sugar in place of confectioners’ sugar in your favorite icing recipe. Make cake icing, such as buttercream or cream cheese icing. Frost cupcakes with peanut butter or...

Article in English: Choose hair colors one to two shades darker than natural color for natural results. For more dramatic results, go for shades two to four shades darker. If this is your first time dyeing your hair, you may want to try using temporary or semi-permanent dye rather than permanent dye.  Temporary dyes tend to wash out after one shampoo.  Semi-permanent dyes will wash out after 20 to 26 shampoos. Permanent dyes may fade, but they usually stay in your hair until it grows out. Highlights are essentially the opposite of lowlights. Highlight colors should be one to two shades lighter than your natural hair color. For more dramatic results, go for shades three to four shades darker. You may need to bleach your hair to highlight it, which is best done in a salon. Make sure your five sections are roughly even. There should be one section on the top of your head. Then, on either side of your head, separate the hair into two sections. When you're done, you should be left with one section of hair on top and four sections on the sides. Use rubber bands or hair clips to secure your hair. In other words, you should have three sections in the front of your head, and two in the back. Let down one of the sections. Starting at the top of the section, insert the end of your comb through your hair. Only a very thin section of hair should be on top of the end of the comb. Remember that for both highlight and lowlights, you should apply dye to very thin chunks of hair. This method creates more defined highlights and lowlights. Weaving and slicing are very similar, except when weaving you move the end of the comb through the surface of the hair in a subtle in-and-out pattern (rather than “slicing” in a straight line) to separate pieces of hair. The weaving method produces less defined, more natural-looking highlights and lowlights. Wrap a towel you are comfortable getting dye on around your shoulders. The towel will catch any dye drips and you can use it to dry your hair after the rinsing phase of the dyeing process. Secure the towel in...

Article in English: Choose nylon tights that you would not care to get dirty. The majority of tights are made of nylon and microfiber, followed by cotton and microfiber. Check the tag of your tights; you will most likely own many made of nylon. Nylon tights will not harm your clothing. You can wash the nylons, and they'll be good as new. Blow at the stain to remove any excess powder sitting on top of the fabric. You can either blow on the stain using your breath, or use a hairdryer.   Make sure to use the hairdryer on the coolest setting. Using heat will only help the makeup set into the fabric, which you do not want. Hold the clothing taut and horizontal in front of you. Blow the makeup completely away from you so none of the powdered makeup gets back on your clothing. Holding a section of the tights in one hand, use them to gently brush away at the stain. This brushing motion will pick up any remaining powdered makeup. Keep brushing until all the makeup is gone.

Article in English: Choose one cane on either side of the trunk. The canes should be about as thick as your pinky finger and grow close to the head of the vine.  The "head" of the vine lies at the intersection between your main trunk and the top of your support system. The canes you choose should have close buds and a brown outer layer of bark from base to tip. Make sure that they have not suffered any visible damage, either. Note that this method of pruning is not recommended for American grape varieties. It is suitable for use with most wine grapes, but you should do some research about your particular grape variety before you choose to use this method of pruning. Bend the canes down to either side of your trunk and tie them in place. These canes will become permanent arms that will remain intact for the life of your vine. Cut off the top of both permanent fruiting arms, leaving only four buds on each arm. Cut off the remaining canes at trunk level, leaving only your two permanent arms in place. This is the last bit of pruning you will do during the second year. During each following year, new spurs will grow on your permanent fruiting arms, and fruit will be produced from these spurs. Trim each new spur back during the end of the dormancy season so that they are only two to three buds long. As the vine ages, you may need to cut back older spurs to two buds, as well.

Article in English: Choose one made of cotton or other light plant matter, such as hemp or linen. Make sure you have enough material to create a dress for your shape and height. You'll probably want a lighter or darker brown for an accent color, too. This will be at your waistline and as fringe on the top and bottom. Be less concerned with the texture of this accent color -- but for your dress, make sure it won't irritate your skin. Basic patterns can be found online or at any fabric supply store. What's more, you can pick a pattern that you think will look best for your body type. Don't forget to include the strips at the base of the costume and at the top half of the costume. To create the fringe, just cut strips in a wide layer of fabric and attach to the top and bottom seam. A thin rope would also work. Anything that is earthy and doesn't scream factory-made will do the job.

Article in English: Choose one or more marker colors to use with your stencil. Black is a classic option, and may be the most likely to help your tattoo pass as a real one. Using another color can be just as fun.  Permanent markers contain chemicals that aren't meant to be used on skin. Look for markers that are labeled as safe for this type of use.  If you'd rather not use permanent markers, washable markers are also fine. The tattoo just won't last quite as long. Another good ink choice is stamping ink, which comes on wet stamping pads. To use this type of ink for your tattoo, press a cotton ball onto the ink pad and use it to wipe the ink over the stencil and onto your skin.

Article in English: Choose one that matches the setting you chose on your voltmeter's knob. If there is no exact match, read from a scale that's an easy multiple of the setting. For example, if your voltmeter is set to DC 10V, look for a DC scale with a max reading of 10. If this isn't available, find one with a max of 50. This is a linear scale just like a ruler. For instance, a needle pointing halfway between 30 and 40 indicates a reading of 35V. Skip this step if you are reading from a scale that exactly matches your voltmeter's setting. Otherwise, correct for the difference by dividing the printed scale's max value by your knob setting. Divide the number the needle points to by your answer to get the actual voltage. For example, if your voltmeter is set to 10V but you are reading off a 50V scale, calculate 50 ÷ 10 = 5. If the needle is pointing at 35V, your actual result is 35 ÷ 5 = 7V.

Article in English: Choose red, white or onion "sets" to plant. Available at your local nursery, these look like bare-root mini bulbs that come bound with twine or rubber bands. Any type of onion sets will make excellent green onions, and they all grow well in pots indoors. Green onions grow best in very rich soil, so choose a potting soil that has been enriched with compost - or mix in your own compost with standard potting soil. Fill the pot to within a few inches of the top. Water the soil to prepare it for planting. Be sure the pot you use drains well, so that the soil never gets waterlogged. Plant each onion 1 inch deep, pointing the root side down. Gently pat soil over the top. Space them 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart to allow them a little room to form roots without crowding each other. Water the onions and place the pot in your sunniest window.  You can grow green onions indoors any time of year, as long as you maintain the correct conditions. The onions need full sun, so they should be placed in a window that receives light for most of the day. Be sure the temperature never drops below freezing. Keep the soil evenly moist. Water every few days, or when the soil seems to be getting dry. Don't overwater the onions, though - the soil should be moist, but never soggy. After a few weeks, the green tops will emerge and grow. Either pull the plants from the pots to use the whites and greens, or use a scissors to trim off the green tops and leave the bulb to continue growing. If you leave the bulb in the pot, you should get at least one more harvest before it stops producing.

Article in English: Choose several cities that you find appealing. You can probably find somewhere where jobs in your field are plentiful, and that you'd like to live in as well.  Look for cities that have affordable housing and living costs, a wide selection of jobs, available housing, good healthcare facilities, and schools and places of worship adequate to your needs. You also should consider if you have friends of friends or others from your country of origin in that area. Climate in the United States is quite varied; research the seasonal averages to ensure you are comfortable with the local extremes or natural hazards, such as earthquakes or hurricanes. Look at the typical salary for your profession. Examine the Bureau of Labor statistics regarding wages by section of the country and job category to get an idea of the salary you may be able to negotiate in various regions of the country. You can also look on job search websites such as craigslist.com, linkedin.com, indeed.com or others. The Occupational Outlook Handbook provides in depth information about job prospects in most major fields.

Some cities are better than others, depending on what you do.  The coasts, San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles are very expensive. You may find those places attractive if you have a very highly paid profession, such as Engineering, Programming, Mathematics and so on. If you have a profession that "can go anywhere" such as nurse, school teacher, doctor, you may want to look for a smaller town that is cheaper to live in and may have not enough professionals. If you are an entrepreneur, you may find smaller towns cheaper, yet less welcoming to foreigners.

Article in English: Choose shoulder or flank meat for minced beef, pork, or lamb. Stick with dark meat for chicken and turkey. These cuts are cheaper and have the right amount of fat for proper mince. Better cuts of meat like rib eye or chops are not usually ground up. If you are not sure exactly what to buy, ask the butcher or a person at the meat counter of your local grocery store.

Article in English: Choose someone who runs about the same speed as yourself if possible, as this provides encouragement and friendly competition. While you can train alone, training with a team of similar runners is a huge motivation booster. But, for some people a running buddy can slow you down, so you don't have to have a running buddy, but it's a good option to consider. Whether your goal is 10 minutes, 8 minutes or 6 minutes, you have to be extremely focused to break a personal record. The body will emulate your thoughts. If you believe something won't happen, then it most likely won't happen. after warmups and cool downs. Always do a 5 to 10 minute warmup and cool down. Adding warmups and cool downs to your routine will prevent injury. Posture is crucial and sometimes is what prevents many people from running faster.  Look at the horizon, not at your feet. Tilting your head at this angle will align and straighten your neck and back. Keep your shoulders level and loose. If they start to come up toward your ears, then stop running and shake them out or stretch them gently. Place your arms at a 90-degree angle and allow them to go forward and backward instead of across your body. Keep your fists unclenched with your finger lightly touching your palms. Run tall. If you find that your torso is slouching, then take a deep breath and feel your torso naturally straighten. Maintain the improved posture while you exhale. Keep your hips naturally aligned with your torso. Bending at the hips puts unwanted pressure on your lower back. Take the right size strides. With each step, your foot should land directly beneath your body with your knee slightly bent. If your foot is landing in front of your body, then you are taking too long of a stride. Drink plenty of water. Around 64 fluid ounces of liquid a day. Strength training will improve your stamina, and plyometrics will help you to bring bursts of speed to your run.

Article in English: Choose the area of ground from which you’ll be taking soil and cultivate the area. Remove any dead leaves, weeds, plant trimmings and other debris. Rake through the soil and smooth it out so that it is level. Do not use areas that contain pesticides, chemicals or other pollutants. This can contaminate your soil. The water should reach approximately 12 inches deep into the soil. This will improve how well heat will conduct through the soil, heating it up and solarizing it thoroughly. Seal in the soil under a plastic sheet; you can use a painter’s tarp, which is readily available at home supply stores. Place rocks or line soil along the edges of the sheet to hold them down. There will be a good deal of heat generated and trapped under the plastic sheet, which will work to solarize the soil and kill unwanted pests, pathogens, and weeds. Summertime with hot and sunny weather is the ideal time to solarize soil.  Leaving the tarp on longer than 4-6 weeks will result in a disintegrating tarp. You can rotate the areas of your garden that are being solarized , devoting a section of the garden to solarizing soil while another section has growing plants. Covering the ground like this in the colder months will actually create better conditions for weeds by warming the soil. Only do this during warmer months. Fill glass or metal baking pans full of soil. Cover tightly with tin foil and bake at 200 °F (93 °C) for about 30 minutes. Stir the soil every 5 minutes as it bakes. Allow to cool completely. Your house will smell earthy when you use this method, which can be off-putting to some people.

Article in English: Choose the best shoes for where you'll run. Road shoes for the road, trail shoes for rougher terrain: this will keep your feet protected and help with traction. Account for your arches. You'll need more or less support, depending on how high of an arch you have. The shape of the shoe itself will also need to change. Go to your local major shoe store to get help with this. Check your heel movement. Some people roll their heels, either out or in, as they run. This will also affect the type of shoe you need. Check some old shoes for wear to get an idea of how you move. Tie your shoes correctly. Did you know you can lace your shoes differently to make them fit better? There are methods to create more space in the toes, or support high arches. Even ways to keep heels in place if they tend to slip!  Get the right size! Correct fit is key in making sure your shoes are as comfortable as possible. Even if you think you know what size you are, be willing to be wrong because it can make a huge difference in how you feel afterwards. Shoot for good movement. You should be choosing clothes that are loose or flexible, so that they allow for a good range of movement. You'll also want clothes in shapes and materials that breathe well. This can help reduce rashes and other skin problems. Factor in weather and temperature. You'll probably need more than one jogging outfit (depending on where you live). Have clothes that are warmer and provide more coverage for if you go running in the winter, for example. Don't forget about pockets. You'll want pockets in order to carry important things like your ID and your keys. Alternatively, though, you can use other things like your shoes or an armband. You'll also want to wear the right kind of socks. Look for socks specifically marketed for runners. This can help prevent blisters. Get an mp3 player. Smaller players, like an iPod nano, are great for using while you're jogging. There are even several wristbands that they can be fit into. Find something to listen to. Music is the obvious...

Article in English: Choose the option that makes you feel the best. You have a few options:   Shave it all off. There are no health risks to shaving all of your hair off as long as you do it hygienically, use a new razor, use an anti-septic after shaving and don't cut yourself.  Use a stencil. You will place a stencil, like a small heart, over your pubic area. Then, you'll shave around the stencil to leave a section of hair with a fun shape over your pubic area. You can find stencil kits at most adult stores or online.  Create a landing strip. Your landing strip, or a line extending up from your labial part toward your belly button, can be either whisper thin (good for thick, unruly hair) or slightly wider (for thin, sparse hair). Your razor may be gel-filled and have more blades than a small child can count, but you still need to be nice to it. Any longer and it won't work as efficiently.  To trim the most efficiently, pull the hair toward you and cut in small sections. It doesn't all have to be even, it just has to be short. If the idea of taking scissors down there...gives you the heebie jeebies, use electric trimmers that don't have rotating heads. The blades can only get so close to your skin. You can also soak in the tub for a little while before standing up in the shower to shave the area. Getting the follicles soft will make the hair easier to shave on the first go-round. If you want to wash the area, clean it before you start shaving to avoid irritating your exposed skin later. If you're away from a shower (and have a desperate, desperate need to shave your bikini area -- maybe you're stranded on a desert island?), take a wet washcloth and leave it on the area for 5 to 10 minutes. The same effect can be garnered from this, too. You're probably going to come across people or places that tell you to lather, shave, and exfoliate -- in that order. But if you wanna be a pubic shaving pro (and who doesn't?!), exfoliate before and after. It'll align your hairs all in the same direction, making your razor's job ten times...

Article in English: Choose the right place to talk to your friend. If you ask them in front of people, they might become embarrassed and not answer honestly. For example,  if you're out to coffee or lunch, your friend may not want other people to hear their response, even if they're strangers. If you want to talk, pick a time when it's just the two of you. Have the conversation in private where there are no prying ears. Talk in the car, on a walk, or another private place. Don't ask your friend when they are in the middle of working on something, on their phone, talking to someone, or when they have something on their mind, like a test tomorrow. Ideally, you want your friend to have some time to talk without having any interruptions or distractions. For example, if you're at your friend's house and their parents or siblings often interrupt, go somewhere where interruptions will not occur. You should feel prepared to listen, talk, and support your friend. Don't be distracted by anything, and have some time set aside for your friend. Don't have other things on your mind or things that might distract you, like anticipating a phone call. Set aside some time that you have free.  Remember that you cannot 'fix' someone's problems. If the person isn't ready to talk or doesn't want to, be prepared to let it go. If you think you might get nervous talking about something personal, you could write down some bullet points you want to address.

Article in English: Choose the sink nearest to your hot water heater and let it run for at least 3 minutes. For the first few minutes, any water running out of the sink will have already been in the pipes. It needs to clear out before you test the water heater so you can get an accurate reading. Put the water in a bowl or cup and take its temperature immediately. Leave the thermometer in the water for at least 20-30 seconds to get a trustworthy reading. While cold water is a problem, you also don't want your water temperature to be too hot. If it reaches anywhere above 120 °F (49 °C), you run the risk of sustaining burns. Consult the following numbers to see the relationship between temperature and how long it will take to produce serious burns:  120 °F (49 °C): 5+ minutes 125–130 °F (52–54 °C): 60-120 seconds 130–140 °F (54–60 °C): 5-30 seconds 140–150 °F (60–66 °C): 1-5 seconds 150–160 °F (66–71 °C): 1-1 1/2 seconds 160 °F (71 °C) or above: Immediately If the reading is too low or too high, re-adjust the water heater as needed and check the temperature again in 3 hours. The water heater will need time to change its internal temperature and warm or cool the water to the correct temperature.

Article in English: Choose the two shades of nail polish you wish to mix. Mixing only two polish colors is recommended, because mixing more than two colors can make the mixture appear muddy. Normally, using nail polishes with the same base type (glitter, sheer, opaque, matte, etc.) makes for an overall better polish mixture.  Mixing primary colors is a good rule of thumb to follow when mixing colors. For example, to make a purple polish, mix together a red and blue polish. To make a green polish, mix together a yellow and blue polish. Like colors tend to mix well too. For example, to make a hot orange, mix together a darker orange with a yellow. To make a lighter shade of pink, mix together a deeper pink with white polish. Nail polishes of the same brand tend to blend together the best. That’s because every brand uses their own polish formula, and polishes of the same brand will most likely accept each other and combine well. A plastic paint palette is one of the easiest surfaces to use and clean, but you can use any surface that is clean, flat, and you don't mind staining. Paper plates, wax paper sheets, and tin foil are all common surfaces used for mixing nail polish.  Do not use a styrofoam surface for mixing. The nail polish will destroy the styrofoam and produce holes in the material. You may want to put down a layer of newspaper underneath your workspace, in case of nail polish spills.

Article in English: Choose thread that’s the same color as the shirt you want to fix so that your work doesn't stand out. You can also use clear thread that will be invisible on your shirt.  Check to see if you already have any thread that matches your shirt. If you don't, take your shirt with you to a fabric store and find the thread that most closely matches your shirt. If you can’t find an exact match, go with a darker thread rather than a lighter one. A darker color that is still similar to the shirt's color is likely to blend in and not be noticeable. Use a matte thread and avoid thread that is reflective or shiny. Matte thread will be less noticeable. with your chosen thread. Use scissors to cut off a piece of thread from the spool that's about 24 inches (61 cm) long. Insert one end of the thread through the small hole at the head of the needle. Pull the thread through the hole until the two ends of the thread are the same distance from the needle. Tie the two ends of the thread together in a knot. Try dampening the tip of the thread by placing it on the tip of your tongue briefly if you're having trouble getting it through the needle hole. Poke the needle through the fabric at the top and to the right of the hole from the inside out. Poke through the fabric about .2 inches (0.51 cm) above the hole. If you’re any closer to the hole, the thread may pull out and your stitch could fall apart. Keep pulling the needle up through the fabric until the knot you made at the end of the thread catches on the fabric. Position the needle directly to the left of where you first poked the needle through. The closer you are to the previous stitch, the more secure the thread holding the hole together will be when you’re finished. This will allow you to pull the fabric on the left and right sides of the hole together. The goal is to make close stitches that pull the sides of the hole back together. Repeat your stitches back and forth across the hole. Bring the needle down through the hole in your shirt and poke it up through the fabric...

Article in English: Choose two canes that are roughly the same thickness as your pinky finger. Ideally, they should grow as near to the head of the vine as possible, and the buds should be close together.  The "head" of the vine is the point at which the trunk intersects with the top wire of your support system. The two canes should be positioned on either side of the trunk. These two canes will be your primary canes. During the following season of growth, they will grow new shoots that can bear fruit. Selecting canes close to the trunk head prevents the arms from becoming too long. Excessively long arms can create nonproductive gaps in the vine. Make sure that your chosen canes have firm wood with a brown outer layer of bark nearly all the way to the tip. They must not have any visible damage, either. Prune your two chosen canes down so that only 8 to 10 buds remain. Tie the remaining portions of both canes to your support system. Choose four additional shoots that are thinner than your two primary canes. Trim these down to two buds each.  These spur canes will act as sources of renewal during the following year's cane production. These shoots should all be close to your primary side canes. Remove any other cane not already selected by cutting it away at trunk level.

Article in English: Choose two contrasting colors of duct tape to make your bow. Before you make the bow itself, it is a good idea to cut out a small strip of duct tape (about 0.25 inches, or about 0.64 centimeters, in width) for the centerpiece. This will make it easier to secure the bow later. Stick the strip of duct tape to the edge of a table where you can easily grab it. Taking the second roll of duct tape, cut out a piece 18 inches (45.7 cm) in length. Fold it neatly in half (lengthwise), sticky sides together, leaving just a small strip of adhesive exposed at the end. Take both ends of the strip of duct tape and curl them upwards, to form a circle. Stick the ends together, using the small strip of adhesive that you left exposed earlier. The duct tape should now form a circular shape, like a cuff. Flatten the circle of duct tape and pinch the edges together, in the center, to form a bow shape. Take the small strip of duct tape you cut out earlier and wrap it tightly around the center of the bow to secure. Stick it to a headband or barrette for a funky hair piece or attach it to bags, clothing, hats, etc.

Article in English: Choose what culture or cultures you would like to learn more about. Subscribe to newspapers from that culture online to know more about what they are reading. Browse websites with data on entertainment, outings, politics, or trends.  You should be able to find news sources from different cultures in your language. You don’t have to learn the language at first to get to know more about the culture, although learning the language will be helpful eventually. For example, search for “French news in English.” A great thing about the internet is that it has made the world smaller and more accessible than ever. You can find people from cultures all around the world on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Following people or organizations from other cultures on social media is a great way to directly learn from that culture about things like their values, cuisine, and fashion. You can be specific when looking up information about other cultures on social media. Search for the accounts of notable figures in that culture, or look up webpages dedicated to specific parts of that culture, such as fashion, entertainment, art, or politics. There are plenty of ways to ask questions about a culture online directly to members of that culture. Take a look at local communities and forums that accept questions or conversations. Send in or post a question and wait for a response.  Ask what daily life is like in their culture. You can ask what current events are going on right now, and how or if it is having an effect on them. Ask what the major holidays are like there, and how they celebrate them. Always be careful when communicating with other people online. Don’t give away your personal information. Be respectful when asking questions. Research your question before asking. YouTube is another form of social media that allows passive watching or interaction. There are many channels on YouTube dedicated to a specific culture or aspects of a culture.

Article in English: Choose where you want each plant to go in your garden. Keep in mind the amount of sunlight they need and the overall size they will grow. Starting with small plants can be misleading, as some may get very large and eventually need bigger plots or containers.  Typically it is safe to give about 10 inches (25.4 cm) of spacing between each plant, but make sure to read the seed package or tag on the plants to see how much room they will need. You will also want to leave enough space between rows so that you will be able to walk between them. Plan to leave about 18 inches (45.7 cm) between rows.  Try to keep your plants in groups by variety. For example, you can plant all of your vegetables in the same section of your garden, and keep your flowers or berries in another section. Find out which plants will grow the tallest, as they will create shade over time and should only be planted near other plants that will also grow tall, or near plants that require less sunlight and more shade. Using the arrangement you have devised, place each plant in the garden. Dig a hole twice the size and the same depth as the root ball, or as indicated on your seed packet. The depth will vary anywhere from 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm)  to 2 inches (5.1 cm) for seed depth depending on what you are planting. It does not matter if you are planting in a container or in the ground. Use the depth guidelines provided on the seed packet.  Don’t dig a hole that is too deep. Only dig far enough to allow room for all of the roots without covering up the stem or leaves. The soil in the ground should be level with the soil of the plant you are planting. Gently set each plant into its hole, so as to not damage any part of it. Use your fingers or a trowel to slowly scoop dirt back into the hole over the roots. If the plant you are planting is root bound, meaning the roots are wrapping around the container, gently massage and loosen them before planting. This will help the plant roots spread out into the surrounding soil instead of continuing to wrap around the...

Article in English: Choose whether you want it to be plains or water. Name your region. Next, click on a section of your region and choose "play". Go to "God Mode" and begin shaping your landscape. Steep mountains and water cannot be zoned on. Remember that trees at this point are free, and also increase land value and health. Adding trees now will be very beneficial. Then zone some low density residential. Natural Gas is little more expensive to maintain but is well worth it as the pollution is much lower. Place this a short distance away from your residential zones and turn down its budget to fulfill your needs, plus 30% more (this will save you money). You should see a bit of development move in. The power plant only provides a few jobs, so growth will be small at this stage. This is normal though. This will provide quite a few jobs. Once development begins to slow down, save your city and exit to your region.

Article in English: Choose whole-grain bread and pasta over white bread and pasta. Make sure to get at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every single day. Include produce high in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant, such as red peppers and tomatoes. Lycopene is what makes fruit and vegetables red, and has been proven as a cancer-fighting ingredient. In general, the deeper and brighter the color of your produce, the better.  There are currently no guidelines as the amount of lycopene you should try to get each day. However, research indicates that for lycopene to make any difference, you would need to eat lycopene-foods all day to get the amounts needed.  Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, bok choy and kale are also good defenses against the development of cancer. Some controlled studies have found a link between increased ingestion of cruciferous vegetables and reduced risk of prostate cancer, although the evidence is merely associative at this point. Cut back on how much red meat you eat, including beef, pork, lamb and goat. It's also a good idea to limit your consumption of processed meats, like sandwich meat and hot dogs.  Instead of red meat, eat fish with high levels of omega-3 acids, including salmon and tuna. These foods will help your prostate as well as your heart and immune system. The research about the relationship between dietary fish intake and prostate cancer prevention is largely based on correlative data and namely, the fact that the Japanese have so few cases of prostate cancer and eat large amounts of fish. Whether there is a causal relationship is still being debated.  Beans, skinless poultry, and eggs are also healthy options for protein. The properties of soy, which is found in many vegetarian dishes, fight cancer. Sources of soy include tofu, soy nuts, soy flour and soy powders. Swapping cow's milk for soy milk in your cereal or coffee is one way to get more soy into your diet. Note that recent research has found soy beans and some other specific...

Article in English: Choosing a great display picture (called DP in WhatsAPP slang) is the first step to impressing a girl on WhatsApp. Use your best selfie, such as a photo of yourself doing something exciting or one from an interesting place you visited.  For example, if you love to play the guitar, use a picture of yourself jamming for your DP. When in doubt, just show off your pearly whites and use a selfie head shot with your best smile. If you don’t want to use a photo of yourself, you could set your DP to your favorite cartoon character, athlete, or a work of art. WhatsApp offers a list of preset statuses, such as "Battery about to die," but you should try to make your statuses unique. Take a minute to think about how you want to represent yourself with your status. It could be a favorite song lyric, movie, or television quote, or you could just make a quick observation about your day. If you know you and a particular girl both love a song or movie, using a quote in your status could spur a conversation. A WhatsApp profile is pretty basic and, unlike Facebook's extensive options, only includes your DP, status, availability, and contact info. However, you can show off what a WhatsApp pro you are by using hacks, such as text formatting.  You can make text in your status or text messages bold, italic, or strikethrough by typing symbols around the word you want to modify. Type asterisks around words you want bold, like *this*. Use underscores around words you want to _italicize_, and tildes around words you want to ~strikethrough~.  You can also go to privacy settings and hide your availability, but that might make it less likely that the girl you want to impress will contact you.

Article in English: Choosing a rifle of insufficient quality or too expensive to shoot may greatly reduce your ability in the field.  Consider the brand of the rifle. Most brand names are good buys, but, in the current active gun-buying market, can often be overpriced. Shop around, as prices at local dealer and on-line auction prices can vary considerably. As a rule of thumb, bolt-action rifles are usually more accurate and have a slightly higher muzzle velocity than an equivalent (price and quality) semi-automatic (auto-loading) rifle. The current crop of AR15 variants have achieved much higher accuracy, and are often advertised as capable of sub-MOA (Minute Of Angle) accuracy. This means they can group shots within one "minute" of angle (roughly 1" at 100 yards) which is competitive with the better bolt guns.  Faster rifle twist ratios allow for heavier bullets to be shot more accurately through the rifle. For example, a .223 barrel with a twist ratio of 1:12 may only be able to shoot a 40-52 grain bullet accurately, while a barrel with a twist ratio of 1:9 will be able to shoot, accurately, any bullet between 40 and 65 grains, it will also compensate (to a point) the .223's tendency to tumble after penetrating a target.There are drawbacks to higher twist ratios though, muzzle velocity may be reduced by a percent or two, there can be extra wear and tear on the barrel, and over-stabilization of the bullet can result in less damage to the target (these are minor drawbacks, however).
