Article in English: To start a log cabin fire, you’ll need to create a set-up similar to a teepee fire. Center your tinder in the fire pit, and use  kindling to create a teepee shape around it. Make sure to start with smaller pieces of kindling and then add a second layer of larger kindling. Your teepee lay doesn’t have to be as large as it would if you were planning a teepee fire. Two layers of kindling are usually enough. Collect four pieces of firewood to set around the teepee. Take the two largest pieces and place them on opposite sides of the teepee. Next, set the two smaller pieces on the other sides to form a square with the wood. Make sure that the smaller pieces rest over the two larger pieces. Be sure to leave an opening on the side of the structure that is upwind, so you can reach the tinder when it’s time to light the fire. Over the four pieces of wood that form the base, lay smaller and shorter pieces of firewood in the same pattern. The goal is to create a cabin-like structure around the original teepee. The process of laying the wood around the teepee is similar to building with the Lincoln Log toys that you may remember from your childhood. Once you’ve built up the cabin for the fire, place some of your lightest kindling on top to close off the structure. Use a match or lighter to light the tinder inside the cabin.  For best results, light the tinder from several sides. Until the external walls of the cabin catch fire, continue to add kindling to the inside in order to feed the internal fire. A log cabin lay typically offers up a longer-lasting fire, so it's an ideal choice if you need warmth for an extended period.

Article in English: To start exercising your cheek muscles, make a face as though you just ate a lemon or something remarkably sour. Your lips should be in a slight pucker or pout and your cheeks should be partially sucked in. Your teeth should not be clenched together, as this can prevent you from sucking your cheeks in, but your lips do need to be closed.   Note - this method is a folk remedy. In other words, it's not supported by any sort of scientific evidence, but rather by vague, unverifiable, anecdotal evidence. Thus, it is not guaranteed to work.  Your cheeks should naturally indent inward, with the deepest part of the indentation resting in between your top and bottom teeth, roughly halfway between the front and back of your mouth. Try eating or drinking something sour if you have a hard time imagining the appropriate facial expression - your natural reaction to sourness is what this exercise is imitating. Locate the areas on your cheeks where the indentations are the deepest. Gently hold this spot down on both cheeks using both index fingers. Keep your fingers firmly fixed to these spots as you prepare to move your mouth. You can also hold these spots with your thumb or the rounded end of a pencil if you find it easier. Gradually ease your expression into a wide grin, keeping your fingers fixed to the same spots on your face. Your smile should be wide and open-mouthed, as natural dimples generally appear when someone has a fairly wide smile. Your fingers should now be positioned near the corners of your smile, where dimples would naturally occur if you had them.  Check your appearance in a mirror. If the location of your fingertips seems slightly off, you may need to slightly slide your fingertips across your cheeks to the proper location. Press your desired dimple area firmly with your fingertips or with the rounded end of a pencil. For temporary dimples, release immediately. Take a picture, if desired. Note that these dimples will disappear as soon as you relax your mouth. To train your cheeks into forming more...

Article in English: To start fresh and with a clean slate you'll want to rinse your face with cold water. If you have dry skin, apply a moisturizer. For some, this is the only step you'll need if you choose not to apply makeup.  A great oil facial oil that suites almost any skin-type is jojoba oil, because it neutralizes and accommodates to oily or dry skin.  Coconut oil as a face moisturizer works well used the night before you're going for a simple look. It is oily to leave on during the day but soaks into your skin overnight. Toner will cleanse your pores more deeply than just washing your face with water. It will also make pores shrink, which will give your skin a smoother look. Put a few drops on a cotton ball and dab it all over your face, being careful around your eyes. Toner is a good option for men, too. It smells fresh and can help you avoid pimples or bumps from shaving. Just be sure not to use toner directly after you shave, as it may contain alcohol and burn. Shape your brows to look cleaned up and attractive, even if you do nothing else. You can also use an eyebrow pencil to help fill in sparse areas and give definition. To figure out how to shape your brows,  Look in the mirror and visualize a line from the corner of your nose straight up until it reaches your eyebrow; that should be the place where your brow begins. Identify the peak of your arch by drawing an imaginary angled line from the corner of your nose through your pupil. Identify the spot where your brow should stop by making another line from the corner of your nose angled to the outer corner of your eye.  Pluck the hairs that fall outside the areas you identified. To further smooth out your skin tone while keeping things simple, you might want to use foundation and concealer. It's a good way to cover blemishes without going over the top.  Use your fingers or a makeup brush to apply foundation evenly on your face. It is helpful to dab dots around your face and then blend it in so there aren't uneven areas. Use concealer to cover dark spots, acne, and...

Article in English: To start learning algebra, you'll need to know basic math skills such as adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. This primary/elementary school math is essential before you start learning algebra. If you don't have these skills mastered, it will be tricky to tackle the more complex concepts taught in algebra. If you need a refresher on these operations, try our article on basic math skills. You don't necessarily need to be great at doing these basic operations in your head to do algebra problems. Many algebra classes will allow you to use a calculator to save time when doing these simple operations. You should, however, at least know how to do these operations without a calculator for when you aren't allowed to use one. One of the trickiest things about solving an algebra equation as a beginner is knowing where to start. Luckily, there's a specific order for solving these problems: first do any math operations in parentheses, then do exponents, then multiply, then divide, then add, and finally subtract. A handy tool for remembering this order of operations is the acronym PEMDAS.Learn how to apply the order of operations here. To recap, the order of operations is:   Parentheses  Exponents  Multiplication  Division  Addition  Subtraction The order of operations is important in algebra because doing the operations in an algebra problem in the wrong order can sometimes affect the answer. For instance, if we're dealing with the math problem 8 + 2 × 5, if we add 2 to 8 first, we get 10 × 5 = 50, but if we multiply 2 and 5 first, we get 8 + 10 = 18. Only the second answer is correct. In algebra, it's common to use negative numbers, so it's smart to review how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide negatives before starting to learn algebra. Below are just a few negative number basics to keep in mind — for more information, see our articles on adding and subtracting negative numbers and dividing and multiplying negative numbers.  On a number line, a negative version of a number is the same distance from zero...

Article in English: To start off your cat makeup, you need to put on the foundation and powder that you wear on a day to day basis. This will set the tone of you skin and make your face even and receptive to your cat makeup. If you want to take your makeup one step further, you can cover your face in the color that matches the kind of cat you want to be. For instance, if you want to be a black cat, try painting the main part of your face white and the area on the outside of your face black. The white area will allow you to paint on the cat features better and the black adds dynamic color changes in your makeup. Once you have on your base makeup, you need to start your cat eyes. Get your favorite brand of liquid black eyeliner. Starting from the inside of your eye, line your upper lash line with the black eyeliner. Once you get to the outer edge, make a small wing out to give you a cat eye shape. Repeat on your other eye. This will be the base of the bottom eye makeup, so it can be as dramatic or as subtle as you want, depending on how you want your eyes to look.  Make sure the wings you draw are as even as possible. You don't want your face to appear uneven. If you don't have a liquid eyeliner pencil, you can use a normal eyeliner pencil. Make sure you sharpen it well so it will give you the same thin, crisp line as the liquid eyeliner. On your upper lid, pick a subtle color that is complementary to your skin tone. Cover your lid with the color you choose, applying it high enough that you can see it when your eyes are closed and out as far as the wing of your eyeliner. Repeat on the opposite lid. Gold, bronze, brown, light purple, beige, or a shimmering white are good complimentary colors that will contour your eyes and add depth to the cat eye effect. Now it's time to finish the cat eye shape around your lids. Start from the edge of the line you made on your top lid. Draw a small line down just past your lower lid along your nose, following the angle of  your eye. Next, connect the end of this line to the edge of your lower...

Article in English: To start off your weight loss on the 20/20 diet, you'll begin by entering phase one or the "five day boost" phase.  The goal here is to help kick start your weight loss.  The five day boost phase is the most restrictive part of the 20/20 diet.  There is only a small list of foods that are allowed at this time.  All are whole foods which are not processed and are naturally lower in carbohydrates. Start by gathering the list of foods that are allowed during this phase.  They include:   coconut oil, green tea, mustard, olive oil, almonds, apples, chickpeas, dried plums, prunes, leafy greens, lentils, peanut butter, pistachios, raisins, yogurt, eggs, cod, rye, tofu and whey powder. During this kick start phase, you'll need to eat four meals a day about four hours apart.  Writing yourself a meal plan will help you stick to this schedule. If you purchase the 20/20 diet book, there are recipes provided for this specific phase. After you move through the five days of the boost phase, you'll enter phase two which is called the "five day sustain" phase.  You'll continue your weight loss, but are now able to eat a wider variety of foods.  In phase two, there are additional foods that you can eat; however, you need to continue with your current eating plan.  Aim to have four meals a day about four hours apart. In addition to the approved 20 foods, you can also add:  chicken breast, tuna, oats, brown rice, carrots, tomatoes, mushrooms, cashews, and blueberries. At each meal, you can add some of these new foods, however you still need to include two of the original 20 approved foods.  This helps continue your weight loss. Another addition that you can do during this second phase is to incorporate two "sensible splurges" each week.  These splurges need to be calorie controlled and total no more than 100 calories per splurge. Phase three or the 20 day attain phase is very similar to phase two.  You do get to add in more foods and your main goal is to work towards attaining your goal weight.  In this last weight loss phase of...

Article in English: To start out, ask basic questions, such as someone’s favorite color, their first celebrity crush, or where they grew up. You’ll want to ask small, easy questions at first to build trust between the asker(s) and target.  Ask “favorites” questions, such as, “What was your favorite age?” “What is your favorite place to visit?” “What was your favorite part of school?” “What is your favorite way to travel?” Ask “what if” questions. You can ask, “What if you could visit any time period in the past?” “What if you could fly?” “What if you had fingers on your feet, and toes on your hands?” Once you’ve built some groundwork with basic questions, you can ask more personal questions, or you can simply build off of the questions you’ve already asked and the answers you’ve received.  To build off of answers you’ve received, take an answer and phrase a question around it, such as, “Your greatest fear is spiders, so what would you do if you moved into a house with a spider infestation?” To build to more personal questions, you can say something like, “The person you’d most like to meet with in the past or present is Susan B. Anthony. Why is she so important to you?” Some questions are going to be simple (e.g. “What is your favorite movie and why?”), while others are going to require a little bit of thought. Even if you are asking serious questions, ask the target questions that require some creativity or ingenuity to answer.  Ask silly questions such as, “Do hair stylists go to other stylists or do they cut their own hair?” or “If an ambulance accidentally injures someone on its way to save someone else, who do the paramedics choose to save?” You can ask serious questions, too, such as: “If the world was ending and you had to save one person, who would you save?” or “If your relationship was starting to go sour, what would you do to try to save it?” Whether you playing with a friend or a romantic partner, you could always stand to learn about other people’s family and backgrounds.

Article in English: To start removing the entrails, work a smaller knife around the anus (and the vaginal opening) of the hog, about an inch or two deep. Make the circle about two inches wider than the anus itself so you don't pierce the colon. Grab ahold and pull up gently, then use a rubber band or a zip-tie to pinch it off. This closes everything up, so you'll be able to pull it out the other side, when you open up the chest.   Some butchers wait to remove these organs until after removing the offal and the intestines, but it's good to take precautions, because these are the bacteria-laden parts of the animal that can contaminate the meat. Remove the testicles of intact boars, if you haven't already. Wrap a rubber band around them to gather the testicles and sever them. It's better to do this as soon as possible after killing the animal. To remove the penis, pull it away from the animal, and work your knife underneath it, slicing along the muscle that works back toward the tail. Pull it lose and discard. Pinch the skin near the base of the sternum, where the ribs end and the abdomen begins, and pull toward you as far as possible. Insert your knife and gently work your way down the center line of the pig's belly, in between the two rows of nipples. Be extremely careful not to puncture the stomach lining and the intestines. Keep working your knife until you get all the way up between the animal's legs.  At some point in this process, gravity will likely work in your favor and the entrails will start falling out without you having to do much. As soon as you start opening the belly up, it's a good idea to have a big bucket or tray ready to catch the organs. They'll be heavy, and it's important that you handle them delicately. Everything in the digestive tract should fall out relatively easily with a bit of coaxing, including the lower intestine that you tied off earlier. Use you knife to trim away any stubborn connective tissue. The kidneys and the pancreas are perfectly edible and popular items to reserve.   Some serious...

Article in English: To start the truck you let the gauges reset and the glow plugs warm up by turning the key to the first "click." You'll learn more about starting a truck from an instructor in truck driving school. Driving a semi requires shifting gears more often than driving an automatic car does. Each truck is different, so plan to learn how to shift using the type of truck you intend to drive professionally. Driving such a large vehicle requires a higher level of mindfulness about making right turns and left turns, backing up, and parking. Again, it's important to take a training course to learn how to properly maneuver and park the specific tractor-trailer combination you intend to drive.

Article in English: To start this treatment, fill a medium sized pot full of water and let it come to a rolling boil. Carefully, remove this water from heat and pour it into a bowl, filling it about 3/4 the way up. To this mixture, add five drops of one of the antiseptic essential oils, such as tea tree, lavender, frankincense, rosemary, or oregano oil. Stir it in. If you don't have any oil on hand, you can add 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, lavender, or rosemary. Once the water has cooled a bit but it still steaming, grab a towel and sit in front of the table where you placed the bowl. Lean your face over the bowl, staying a foot to a foot and a half away from the bowl, and place the towel over your head and the bowl.  This creates an enclosed area for the steam to collect around your face. This will help open up your pores and the oils will treat your skin. Make sure you stay far enough back from the steam. You don't want to burn your face. Stay under the towel in the steam for 10 minutes. After this, wet a soft wash cloth with cool water and cover your face for 30 seconds. After this, return to the steam treatment. Repeat this three times, ending on the cool cloth treatment.  Transitioning between hot and cold helps contract and expand your pores, which will help tone your skin and improve circulation. As you go between hot and cold, the water will get cooler. You may need to move closer to the water as the water cool. Always stay at a distance that is comfortable for your skin that won't burn it. Astringents are liquids you put on your skin that can draw together your facial tissues, help dry your skin, and help reduce inflammation. There are a number of herbs, teas, and other liquids that act as astringents when applied to your face. Use a cotton ball or Q-tip soaked with the astringent to apply it directly to your pimple.   Some good astringent options include teas, such as black, green, chamomile, sage, and yarrow, undiluted lemon juice, and essential oils, such as boswellia, tea tree, sage, juniper, grapeseed, rose, oak...

Article in English: To start walking with a blind person, place the back of your hand on the back of the blind person's hand. This will let him or her figure out where your arm is. Then, the blind person can hold your arm just above the elbow. The blind person should also be slightly to your left or right side. Keep up a pace you are both comfortable with. Periodically ask the blind person if he or she wants to move faster or slower. Look out for obstacles. This includes obstacles on the ground, to the side, and anything head height. Instruct the blind person to move over or duck when necessary. In the event you have to walk through a narrow space, like a small hallway or a crowd of people, let the blind person know. You will have to adjust how you're walking when you encounter narrow spaces.  The blind person will have to walk behind you in narrow spaces. Alert him or her that a narrow space is coming up. Then, instruct him or her how to move.  Have the person step behind you. The blind person should still keep his or her hand on your arm, just below the elbow. You will have to move your guiding arm behind your back. In some scenarios, you may have to switch sides when guiding a blind person. For example, you may encounter an obstacle in your own path while walking.  Tell the blind person verbally that you need to switch sides. Have him or her pause while walking. It's much easier to switch sides when both you and the blind person are stationary.  Have the blind person hold your guiding arm with both of his or her hands. Then, step in front of the blind person as you switch sides. As you move to the other side, the blind person can transition to grabbing your other arm.  Before moving forward, make sure the blind person is holding one of your arms just above the elbow. Make sure he or she is a half step to a step behind you, a little to your side, before walking.

Article in English: To start your pralines, you must first make a caramel. Put your sugar and water into a large saucepan. Stir the sugar and water over a medium heat to help the sugar dissolve. Once it is dissolved, stop stirring the mixture. Use a pastry brush to remove any sugar crystals from the side of the pot. Removing the crystals makes it so your caramel isn't grainy. Increase the heat of the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil. When your mixture starts to get golden brown, add in your almonds and stir the mixture. Once the sugar turns golden brown, remove it from the heat. Make sure you watch your pot very carefully. The mixture will burn easily. Take your pan and plunge the bottom into a sink or bowl full of cold water. This lowers the heat of the pan and keeps the caramel from getting too brown. Cover a flat baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour out your praline mixture and spread it across the pan in an even layer. Let it cool. One of the differences between British and American pralines is that they are crushed and used as a topping instead of eaten as candies. Once the pralines have cooled completely, break it apart. Put the pieces into a food processor. Pulse until it makes a fine powder. These are good as toppings on other desserts such as cakes and ice cream sundaes.

Article in English: To start, it's important to first be able to identify both the direction the object is moving in and the direction from which force is being applied. Keep in mind that objects don't always move in line with the force being applied to them — for instance, if you pull a small wagon by its handle, you're applying a diagonal force (assuming you're taller than the wagon) to move it forward. In this section, however, we'll deal with situations in which the force and the object's displacement do have the same direction. For information on how to find the work when these things don't have the same direction, see below. To make this process easy to understand, let's follow along with an example problem. Say that a toy train car is being pulled directly forward by the train in front of it. In this case, both the force vector and the direction of the train's motion point the same way — forward. In the next few steps, we'll use this information to help find the work done on the object. The first variable we need for the work formula, D, or displacement, is usually easy to find. Displacement is simply the distance that the force has caused the object to move from its starting position. In academic problems, this information is usually either given to or is possible to deduce from other information in the problem. In the real world, all you have to do to find displacement is measure the distance the object travels.  Note that measures of distance must be in meters for the work formula. In our toy train example, let's say that we're finding the work performed on the train as it travels along the track. If it starts at a certain point and ends at a spot about 2 meters (6.6 ft) up the track, we can use 2 meters (6.6 ft) for our "D" value in the formula. Next, find the magnitude of the force being used to move the object. This is a measure of the "strength" of the force — the bigger its magnitude, the harder it pushes the object and the quicker it accelerates. If the force's magnitude isn't provided, it can be derived from the...

This gathers any extra material at the bottom of the shirt and brings the material tight over your chest for a professional look. Finally, give yourself a  quick once-over examination. For a good tuck, the line formed by the buttoned-up edge of your shirt should match up with the line of the fly on your pants. This is called the "gig line" and, while it's not always something you'll want to spend the time and effort getting just right, for the most professional look possible, it's indispensable. Since your belt buckle should be in the center of your body, your gig line should intersect it or else lie quite close to it.

Article in English: To start, remove the shower curtain from the wall in your bathroom. Then, place it in  your washing machine. Make sure you remove any metal hooks that may be on the shower curtain before placing it in your washing machine. This helps prevent the shower curtain or liner from wrinkling, sticking to itself, and being torn apart in the machine. The towels also scrub the shower curtain while the washing machine is going. Take one to two white towels and throw them into the washing machine. The towels you use should be clean. Add the normal amount of laundry detergent you would use for a load of laundry. From there, add half a cup to a cup of baking soda. Bigger shower curtains will require more baking soda. Turn on your washing machine. Select the highest cleaning level. Wash your shower curtain in warm water. For mildly dirty shower curtains, you do not need anything other than baking soda and detergent. However, if there is a lot of mildew and other stains on your curtain, add bleach. After adding your baking soda and detergent, turn the machine on. Pour in half a cup of bleach as the washer fills with water. Only add bleach if your shower curtain is white or transparent. When the washing machine switches to the rinse cycle, open the machine. Pour in a half cup to a cup of the distilled vinegar. Restart the machine and allow it finish the cycle. Never dry a shower curtain. Instead, hang it back up in the shower after it's done in the washing machine. It should drip dry on its own from there.

Article in English: To start, take out a baking sheet that will fit in your toaster oven. Line the baking sheet with aluminum foil. This will make clean up easier afterwards, as you can simply remove the foil and discard it. If you don't have aluminum foil, you can use parchment paper instead. Keep the bacon separated. It should not be touching or overlapping. Lie the bacon flat on the bacon sheet so it cooks completely. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling raw bacon. You should find a sheet pan that fits on the bottom of your toaster oven. If any bacon drips during the cooking process, a sheet pan will catch this. It is easier to remove the pan and clean it than clean the bottom of a toaster oven.

Article in English: To stay fresh, start your day by cleansing your body. Your unique body chemistry will determine how often you need to bathe. Many people take a shower every morning, but if you play sports or live in a really humid climate, twice a day might help you stay fresher. If you live in a temperate place and your skin is on the dry side, every other day might be best. No matter what, aim to bathe often enough that you smell good and feel clean.  Being clean doesn't necessarily mean using the harshest cleanser possible. Use a soap that's good for your skin type and doesn't dry it out too much. Choose a body wash or bar soap that's gentle enough for everyday use. While taking a shower most days is recommended, you may want to wash your hair less often. Washing your hair every day can dry it out and ultimately damage it, since it strips your hair's natural oils. To stay fresh on the days when you don't wash your hair, consider using a little dry shampoo. It's a powder that absorbs oil and makes your hair look and feel clean. Did you know that 2 percent of the population doesn’t have the gene that causes body odor? Those lucky people don’t need to use deodorant, but the rest of us use it to prevent body odor from becoming too strong during the day. Apply deodorant after you get out of the shower.  If you tend to sweat a lot, you might want to use a combination deodorant and antiperspirant to keep you dry. Use it with caution, though: in recent years there have been claims that the aluminum in antiperspirant could lead to breast cancer. Experts say these claims are unfounded, but it's worth looking into if you're going to use it on your body every day.  Using all-natural deodorant sticks or rocks is trendy, but many find that it wears off after a few hours. The exception might be homemade coconut oil deodorant cream, which quickly absorbs into the skin and keeps you dry and fresh. To make it, just blend 6 tablespoons (88.7 ml) of coconut oil with 4 tablespoons (59.1 ml) of baking powder and 4 tablespoons (59.1 ml) of...

Article in English: To stay motivated during your work to become studious, you shouldn’t think you’ve failed if you didn’t go from having a C-average in Calculus to an A-average. Instead, you should be proud of yourself from moving from a C to a B-minus, and so on. When it comes to being studious and feeling motivated to succeed, you should work in increments or get disappointed and lose steam. Compare your progress to yourself, not others. Chart your progress. When you see how much you’ve improved since the beginning of your commitment to be studious, you’ll be truly proud of yourself. Though not every subject in school will fascinate you, you should try to find something you care about in each and every class. Maybe English isn’t your favorite subject, but you’ve found that A Separate Peace or Catcher in the Rye is your new favorite novel; you don’t have to like everything in school, but you should still look for something that truly fascinates you and motivates you to keep working. If you find just a few things to care about in each class, you’ll be much more motivated to be studious. Remember that you’re not just studying to pass tests, but to truly acquire knowledge, and caring about what you’re learning can really help that. Though working with a partner or a group doesn’t work for everyone, you should consider mixing it up and working to be studious with others, sometimes. You can learn a lot from working with other people, and they can help keep you focused and on-track. You may also find that you learn more from a close friend than from a teacher, and that you gain mastery of a subject after trying to teach it to your friends. Consider this study technique the next time you hit the books.  Some people are more social learners and they learn a lot better with others. If this is you, then you should try working with one friend first, and then opening your studies up to a study group. Just make sure that your study groups actually spend most of their time studying with occasional breaks; you don’t want to get sucked into a...

Article in English: To store ginger in a zipper storage bag, simply take the unpeeled ginger and place it in a zipper bag, taking care to push all of the air out of the bag. Place it in the veggie crisper in your fridge and have it stay crisp and fresh for several weeks. When compared to other methods, such as storing the ginger in a paper bag or wrapping it with a paper towel and then placing it in the bag, this method came up lasting the longest by quite a few weeks. If the ginger is already peeled, this method will work too, but it won't last as long as it would with the peel on. Store a chunk of unpeeled ginger by carefully wrapping it in a paper towel until there's no air holes or uncovered parts and then place it in a paper bag. Take care to push all of the air out of the paper bag before you seal it. Place the ginger in the vegetable crisper of your refrigerator and store it for a few weeks. If you're in a pinch for time, you can just place the ginger in a paper bag and put the bag in the vegetable crisper of your fridge. The ginger won't last as long as it will using the other methods, but this is a quick and easy trick to use if you know you'll be eating the ginger within a week. This is a solid method for quickly storing herbs such as dill or cilantro as well. Just place the freshly peeled ginger in a jar or sealable container and submerge them a spirit or acidic liquid. The most commonly used liquids are: vodka, dry sherry, sake, rice wine, rice vinegar, and fresh lime juice. Vodka and sherry are the most popularly used spirits, and vodka has been shown to have the longest-lasting results while altering the flavor of the ginger the least. Though this is a solid storage method, be aware that the liquid will change the flavor of the ginger a bit -- or a lot.

Article in English: To survive, gather food and water and then jump straight to digging. In multiplayer mode, especially with Friendly Fire switched off, players tend to kill other players to get their loot; ammunition and weaponry will be hard to find.  You will last a lot longer if you create a good underground bunker. Make sure to block up your entrance to avoid other players from discovering your hide out. Explosives such as Tin Land Mine and Pipe Bomb are good weapons. You can throw pipe bombs at players or zombies, while the tin land mine is a ground-based explosive which can be strategically placed on any flat surface except water.  Tin Land Mine: You need 1 Scrap Metal, 1 Gunpowder, and 1 Candy Tin Can. To craft, just place the three materials in the middle of the craft window from top to bottom, scrap metal, Gunpowder and candy tin can, respectively. Pipe Bomb: You only need 1 Plant Fiber, 1 Gunpowder and 1 short Iron Pipe. Short Iron Pipe can be found in air conditioners or can be crafted from Forging Iron. To craft a Pipe Bomb, place the Gunpowder in the very center of the craft window, Plant Fibers above it and the Short Iron Pipe below. If you plan on spending a lot of time underground, you should consider having to openings to your mine. While this can be a little more difficult to defend, it can greatly increase your chance of survival if one entrance is blocked. Use land mines to defend the exit you are least likely to use, and make sure that it is well-disguised.

Article in English: To swallow air, you need to go through the motions of swallowing without food. Think of the feeling of having a mouthful of food. Go through the motions of swallowing without food in your mouth. Each swallow will draw more air into your mouth.  Pull the air in your mouth to the back of your throat. Swallow a gulp of air. Repeat the process of swallowing air several times to build up a bubble in your stomach. The more air you are able to get into your stomach, the larger and louder your burp will be. Squeeze your abdominal muscles to push all the air together in your stomach.  Prepare for the upcoming burp by pushing all the air into one bubble. Hold the burp in for a moment to build up pressure. Give the air a way to escape your stomach by opening your mouth. An open mouth allows the air to resonate and creates a louder sound. Wretch your stomach and diaphragm muscles to squeeze the air out of your stomach and force the burp to emerge. Keep your throat and mouth open to allow as much air to escape as possible.  A longer burp will generate louder sounds. Contract your diaphragm muscles towards the end of your burp to squeeze any remaining air out. Keep your mouth open during the burp so the sound is not muffled.

Article in English: To teach your dog that storms are nothing to fear, play a recording of a thunderstorm on very low volume for several hours, once a week. Each week, if the dog shows no signs of agitation, turn up the volume slightly. It can take a long time for your dog to adapt, but eventually your dog may learn not to fear thunder. If this agitates your dog too much, start with 5–10 minute daily sessions instead. Give your dog a treat or a toy when it shows calm behavior during a storm, or when it obeys a command despite its fear. Train it to respond to a "relax," "calm," or "settle" command. Training your dog with an indoor leash is also highly effective.  For example, treat your house like an indoor obstacle course and lead your dog around asking him/her to perform certain commands.  If at any time this appears to be causing more stress, stop, and work on calming your dog. To curb stress and anxiety, engage with your dog before the storm hits. Prepare indoor activities, and make sure your dog's safe place is set up.

Article in English: To tell if you experience frustration that falls outside the normal range, answer these questions. You might find that your frustration is extreme, and if that’s the case, seeking therapy or anger management classes might be a valuable option.  Are you usually irritable? Do you normally respond to frustration by blaming or snapping at others? Do you self-medicate letdowns with alcohol, drugs and excessive eating? Do you often hurt others’ feelings when you are responding to frustration? Do you tend to feel misunderstood after a bout of frustration has passed? Do you often lose your cool in the middle of a hard day of work or school? When you get disappointed, do you feel as though life is impossible or that you are unworthy? Spend some time thinking or writing about the potential sources of frustration in your life. Be as specific as possible about what triggers your frustration--maybe it's a co-worker or classmate you find frustrating or even the way that someone says or does something. Try to consider whether or not this source of frustration is something that you want to control and cannot. For example, you cannot control another person's point of view. But, you can control whether or not you engage this person in conversation.  Doing this will help you understand and accept these things in the long-term, making you more capable of handling them with patience. Alternately, you might find that you can avoid certain frustrations entirely. For example, if you take a slow, traffic-heavy route home from work, you could opt for a slightly longer route that allows you to avoid it. Frustration is not always misplaced, and it may be a reasonable response to a very real and difficult issue or issues in your life. However, frustration can build if you believe that every problem has a clear solution and there's something wrong with you or with your life for not being able to arrive at it. Instead of trying to solve a difficulty once and for all, try to focus on cultivating a helpful attitude toward it. Understand why...

Article in English: To test various growth conditions for mold, you will need multiple samples. Moisten as many pieces of bread necessary to test your conditions. Place each one in a separate bag.  For example, if you want to test 3 different temperatures, make 3 samples. Before each experiment, make some predictions about what will happen. Make a hypothesis about how quickly the mold will grow under each condition. Write down whether you think there will be more or less mold for each condition at the end of the experiment. Keep all other conditions the same (temperature and amount of light), but add different levels of moisture. Have 1 slice with no moisture, 1 slice that is just damp, and 1 slice that is soaked in water. Check the samples daily to see if the growth of mold is different between the 3 pieces. To test mold growth at different temperatures, store 1 sample at room temperature, 1 in the refrigerator, and 1 in the freezer.  Remember, to minimize variability, you will want to use the same amount of water for each piece of bread and store the room temperature sample in the dark, as the samples in the fridge and the freezer will mostly be in darkness.  Check each sample daily and see which piece of bread grows the most mold the fastest. If you want to test whether or not light has an effect on the growth of mold, store samples in different light environments. Place 1 bag in total darkness and 1 bag in a brightly-lit area.  To minimize variability, make sure the temperatures of both environments are the same. Use the same amount of water for each piece of bread as well. If the amount of water and temperature is also different, you won’t know whether the difference in growth rate is due to the light, water, or the temperature. Observe your samples daily to check for differences in growth rate and amount.

Article in English: To thrive, grapevines need the right amount of sun, proper drainage and a form of support.  Choose a sunny spot. Grapes need 7-8 hours of full sun daily for best results. Make sure you have plenty of space. Space your plants about 8' (2.5 m) apart to allow for growth. Grapes require well drained soil. If you have clay or other poorly drained soil, augment it with decomposed compost, sand or other soil amendments to increase drainage.  Alternatively, use a raised bed filled with a good sandy loam mixed with compost.    Check the pH of your soil before planting your grapes. Different types of grapes thrive best with different soil pH levels (5.5-6.0 for natives, 6.0-6.5 for hybrids, and 6.5-7.0 for vinifera), so it is best to either plant in an area with a pH level in the right range, or adjust your soil’s pH before planting.  If you are planning to grow grapes for wine, be aware that different types of soil (e.g., sandy, silty, rich in limestone, or rich in clay) will affect the flavor of the wine. Two weeks after planting, add a small amount of 10-10-10 fertilizer to the soil around the base of your young plants. Repeat this process once per year every spring after that. Grapevines need a trellis or arbor for proper support. The first year in the vineyard (2 years after starting from seed), when your plants are still small, stakes will be sufficient to support them and keep them off the ground. As they grow, you will need to train them to the trellis or arbor. Tie the tip of the shoots to the wire, and allow it to grow along the wire. Grapevines take up to three years to start producing fruit. During that time, proper care and training of your plants is essential for the best fruit yield.  Year One: Watch for growth. Choose the strongest three shoots on the plant and allow those to grow. Pinch off all others. The three remaining shoots will grow stronger and more vigorous. Year Two: Fertilize using a balance fertilizer. Remove flower clusters as they emerge; allowing the vine to fruit this early will deplete...

Article in English: To throw a Frisbee correctly, place your index and middle finger under disk, close to the lip. Curl the two fingers to get a firm grip, and twist your body to your throwing hand side. Take a step forward with your dominant foot, and untwist your body. Once you have faced forward, flick your wrist, release the disc, and point where you want the disc to go. Keep the Frisbee parallel to the ground. As you advance, you can develop more complex throwing motions into your game with some practice. This is To "hammer throw," put your index and middle fingers under the disk and put your thumb on top. Do not curl your index and middle fingers. Like you are throwing any ball, raise the disk over your head, and have the disk angled towards your head. Make sure you have about a 50-55 degree angle on the disk. Still keeping the angle, throw the disk forward and upward. The disk should fly perpendicular to the ground for a couple seconds and flip upside down to float softly to the ground. This throw is a little tricky to catch, but can be useful under heavy defense. Try a sidearm toss. Place your index and middle fingers under the disk, and curl them against the lip of the disk. Place your thumb on top. Twist your body slightly towards the disk, and flick your wrist to release the disk. Make sure you twist your hand towards your body when you throw to put enough spin the disk to fly. This throw is very useful when you are being defended by an opposing player, but takes practice. The difference between teams that are good at Ultimate Frisbee and teams that are just playing is in the speed of the passes. Practice making quick, crisp, accurate passes with your teammates and moving quickly down the field to keep the defense off balance. Though the player in possession has 10 seconds to hold onto the Frisbee, it should be a rarity that a player holds the Frisbee for longer than five. Don't worry about making "hail mary" passes that launch all the way down the field. These types of passes are low-probability and will more often...

Article in English: To treat gestational diabetes, natural treatments are similar to medical treatments, but the dietary approaches in the natural treatment of gestational diabetes emphasize whole foods. Keep your food as close to its original or natural form as possible.  This means that you should try to limit any processed or prepared foods and cook from scratch as much as possible.  If you are pressed for time, try using a crock pot or preparing the basics, such as rice, beans, meats, and vegetables, ahead of time and freezing those basics. Another ingredient that you can use in cooking from scratch that can help you is cinnamon. Cinnamon has also been used to help control blood sugar levels and is considered safe for pregnant women in the amounts used normally in foods. This corresponds to approximately 1000 mg every day.  While "natural" food companies like to tout the benefits of organic foods, research does not show a benefit in managing gestational diabetes. It is most important to eat plenty of fresh, whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Your diet should include at least around 40 to 50% of your daily intake of calories from complex, high fiber carbohydrates. Eat most of your complex carbohydrates at lunch and cut down on the portion sizes for other meals. This helps to regulate your blood sugar and insulin production throughout the day. Complex carbohydrates are found in whole, unprocessed foods such as whole grains, sweet potatoes, and oatmeal. Another good rule of thumb is no “white” foods, meaning no white bread, white pasta, or white rice, which are simple carbohydrates. While both simple and complex carbohydrates are broken down into glucose in the body, the idea is that it takes the body longer to break down the complex carbohydrates than it takes to use the simple carbohydrates. This means that the body has a better chance to process the glucose. Simple carbohydrates are often found in processed foods, which include added sugars like glucose, table sugar, and fructose such as high fructose...

Article in English: To treat your IBS, talk to your doctor about taking acidophilus probiotic for 6 weeks. Choose a probiotic supplement, such as Proviva or Lacteol Fort, that contains viable lyophilized bacteria species including lactobacillus, bifidobacteria, and streptococcus. This can be taken in a drink or capsule form. When you are buying one, make sure the supplement contains 10 billion CFU of lactobacillus acidophilus. You should take this supplement twice per day.  Some people find it beneficial to take digestive enzymes along with probiotics to really heal the gut and provide help with digestion. Acidophilus bacteria colonizes in the large intestine. It can help to repair damage due to IBS and help control diarrhea and constipation. Taking acidophilus can cause additional gas or diarrhea for the first few days of treatment. The diarrhea should go away and your gas should be reduced after your body adjusts. See a doctor if you have diarrhea for more than 2 days and discontinue use of the supplement. You can use acidophilus to help prepare your body for the issues it goes through when you take an antibiotic. Consult with your doctor about counteracting the side effects by taking an acidophilus supplement containing lactobacillus when going on a course of antibiotics. This is necessary because antibiotics kill both harmful and friendly bacteria. You can recolonize the good bacteria through the use of at least 20 billion CFU per day, which is available in a products such as Culturelle. Take the acidophilus 2 hours before or after you take an antibiotic pill. Antibiotics reduce the effectiveness of the active cultures, so staggering them with other pills will help. Sometimes when you go on trips, you suffer from traveler's diarrhea. To help prevent this, choose an acidophilus brand that does not break down under normal temperatures, as most acidophilus does, and one that doesn't need to be refrigerated. This will make it easier to take with you when traveling. Take 2 billion CFU of a Lactobacillus GG supplement, such as...

Article in English: To try to get the foreign object dislodged, you need to push your fist and hand into your diaphragm or stomach area. Use a quick j-shaped motion, in and then up. Repeat multiple times.  If this does not dislodge the foreign object very quickly, you need to try to add more force with a stable object. In your immediate area, you need to find a stable object that is about waist high that you can bend over. A chair, a table, or a counter top will work well for this. With your hands still clasped in front of you, bend over the chair, table, counter, or other solid object. Brace your fists between the chair and your abdomen and drive your body against the solid object. This will greatly increase the force you apply to your diaphragm, which will be more effective to help dislodge seriously stuck foreign objects. You may not be able to dislodge the object during the first try. You need to quickly repeat pushing yourself onto the stable object until the object is removed. You should return to normal breathing once it is removed.   Although it is very scary, it is better if you stay calm. Panicking will only increase your heart rate and need for air, which will make it worse. Once you have it dislodged, sit down and catch your breath. If you find that you are uncomfortable or your throat is sore, you may need to see your doctor.  If you cannot get it dislodged, call 911.

Article in English: To understand DID, you need to be aware of the symptoms, the underlying causes, and how you can help alleviate symptoms or reduce their impact in the home. To thoroughly understand the disorder, it is important to talk to a professional who can walk you through DID. Some basics of DID include:  When a person has multiple personalities that take over his original personality. Each personality has a different memory, so if your loved one does something while being controlled by an alter (which is another personality) he or she will most likely not remember it. The usual cause of the disorder is some childhood abuse, trauma, insecurity or torture. The symptoms of DID include auditory hallucinations, amnesia (memory loss), fugue episodes in which the person travels in search of something without knowing what or why, depression and anxiety. That is, although it may be somewhat upsetting for you to be faced with an alter, do your best to avoid panicking. To stay calm, keep in mind that you are dealing with a (while somewhat mysterious) well-documented disorder. As you learn about DID, get used to the idea that your loved one may have several personalities, or alters, within him/her and all of those alters might be completely different, in age, personality, maybe even gender. Remember that, while under the influence of an alter, your loved one is somewhat of a different person. It is possible that some of his alters may not recognize or even know about you. In addition, the person might suddenly switch to another alter even if in the middle of something like work, conversation or activity. Whether or not you acknowledge the alter or pretend that you do not know the person is under the influence of an alter will depend on the specific situation you are in (e.g., if you are around strangers for just a moment it may be better to avoid the subject or an unwanted and long conversation may ensue) and the specific alter (e.g., whether it is an alter that gets upset about those kinds of discussions) who is present.

Article in English: To understand electronegativity, it's important first to understand what a "bond" is. Any two atoms in a molecule that are "connected" to each other on a molecular diagram are said to have a bond between them. This means that they share a set of two electrons with each atom contributing  one electron to the bond. The exact reasons for why atoms share electrons and bond are a little beyond the scope of this article. If you want to learn more, try this article on the bond basics or WikiHow's own How to Study the Nature of the Chemical Bond (Chemistry). When two atoms share a set of two electrons in a bond, they don't always share them equally. When one atom has higher electronegativity than the atom it's bonded to, it pulls the two electrons in the bond closer to itself. An atom with very high electronegativity may pull the electrons all the way to its side of the bond, barely sharing them at all with the other atom. For example, in the molecule NaCl (sodium chloride), the chloride atom has a fairly high electronegativity and the sodium has a fairly low one. Thus, the electrons will get pulled towards the chloride and away from the sodium. An electronegativity table of the elements has the elements arranged exactly like in a periodic table, except that each atom is labeled with its electronegativity. These can be found in a variety of chemical textbooks and technical articles as well as online.  Here is a link to an excellent electronegativity table. Note that this uses the Pauling electronegativity scale, which is most common. However, there are other ways to measure electronegativity, one of which will be shown below. If you don't have an electronegativity table handy, you can still estimate the strength of an atom's electronegativity compared to the strength of another element's atom based on where it is located on a normal periodic table. Although you will not be able to calculate a number value, you can evaluate the difference between the electronegativities of 2 different elements. As a general rule:  An...

Article in English: To understand how best to pay down your debt, you first need to understand how much you owe. Add together all your debts, including credit cards, short-term loans, student loans, and any mortgages or auto financing you have in your name. Look at your total debt numbers to help you understand how much you owe and how long it will realistically take to pay it off. Debts like credit cards tend to have higher interest rates than things like student loans. The longer you carry a balance on high-interest debts, the more you ultimately pay. Prioritize paying down your highest-interest debts first, making minimum payments on other debts and putting extra money into your top debt priorities.  If you have a short-term loan (a car loan, for example), pay that down, too, as quickly as possible. Such loans can become very expensive if not paid off in full and on time. When you pay off a credit card balance, don’t roll that payment amount back into your discretionary funds. Instead, roll the amount you were paying into your next debt.   If, for example, you finish paying off a credit card, take the amount you were putting toward that card and add it to the minimum payment you've been making on another card or a student loan. The point is that you want to eliminate all recurring, long- and short-term debt as soon as possible so that you can live interest-free.

Article in English: To understand relationship compatibility, you must first have an understanding of the signs of the zodiac and what they mean. The twelve signs are: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Each sign is derived from a configuration of astral bodies thought to dictate the characteristics of the people born during times when those bodies are prominent in the heavens. In addition to its constellation form, each sign is assigned an elemental significance, bearing one or more traits of the earth’s natural forces. The classifications are as follows: Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), Air (Aquarius, Gemini, Libra), Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), and Earth (Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo). A sign’s element comes from the role of its physical form in the natural order. Elemental classifications are a kind of rough grouping of attributes: Fire signs tend to be inquisitive, passionate, optimistic, while Water signs are loyal, sympathetic and driven; Earth signs are known for their rationale, practicality and stability, and Air signs are friendly, sociable and love making connections. As a general rule, zodiac signs that fall under the domain of Fire are believed to have the greatest compatibility with those of Air, while Water and Earth signs make the best pairings with their respective qualities. There are also other compatibilities that fall outside of the usual elemental matches; these mostly have to do with the complementary traits, preferences and emotional behaviors of the different signs.  Examples of strong compatibility through the zodiac include Pisces and Capricorn, Sagittarius and Aquarius, and even Virgo and Virgo—people of a certain sign are often quite compatible with another of their kind. Make a note of what types your sign is compatible with and be on the lookout for these types when dating. No two signs in the zodiac are truly incompatible—there are only varying levels of compatibility, the highest of which are expressed in the traditional...

Article in English: To understand square roots, it's best to start with squares. Squares are easy — taking the square of a number is just multiplying it by itself. For instance, 3 squared is the same as 3 × 3 = 9 and 9 squared is the same as 9 × 9 = 81. Squares are written by marking a small "2" above and to the right of the number being squared — like this: 32, 92, 1002, and so on. Try squaring a few more numbers on your own to test this concept out. Remember, squaring a number is just multiplying it by itself. You can even do this for negative numbers. If you do, the answer will always be positive. For example, -82 = -8 × -8 = 64. The square root symbol (√, also called a "radical" symbol) means basically the "opposite" of the 2 symbol. When you see a radical, you want to ask yourself, "what number can multiply by itself to give the number under the radical?" For instance, if you see √(9), you want to find the number that can be squared to make nine. In this case, the answer is three, because 32 = 9.  As another example,  let's find the square root of 25 (√(25)). This means we want to find the number that squares to make 25. Since 52 = 5 × 5 = 25, we can say that √(25) = 5. You can also think of this as "undoing" a square. For example, if we want to find √(64), the square root of 64, let's start by thinking of 64 as 82. Since a square root symbol basically "cancels out" a square, we can say that √(64) = √(82) = 8. Up until now, the answers to our square root problems have been nice, round numbers. This isn't always the case — in fact, square root problems can sometimes have answers that are very long, inconvenient decimals. Numbers that have square roots that are whole numbers (in other words, numbers that aren't fractions or decimals) are called perfect squares. All of the examples listed above (9, 25, and 64) are perfect squares because when we take their square roots, we get whole numbers (3, 5, and 8). On the other hand, numbers that don't give whole numbers when you take their square roots are called imperfect squares....

Article in English: To understand the thought patterns that lead you to self-harm, you first need to acknowledge your thoughts. Your thought process is a habit that you have. To break the habit of thinking negative thoughts, you need to become aware of these thoughts. One tool to help understand your triggers and thought patterns is journaling. Writing down your feelings will help identify patterns that lead to self-harm. Also, journaling provides an outlet to share your feelings and process your thoughts.  Write down when you feel the urge to self-harm, or when you actually do harm yourself. Try to write down the situation, thought, feeling or emotion that you experienced. You may have also experienced physical sensations such as energy, tightening of the stomach, or other actions. Write down what happened just before the self-harming. Journaling might reveal that you are experiencing certain situations that create the urge to self-harm. Some of these situations might be: problems with peers (including bullying or cyber-bullying), pressure at school, feeling socially isolated, abuse, confusion around sexuality, or issues in your family.  The goal is to become aware of your thoughts and not passively acting on negative thoughts that lead to self-harming behaviors. The next step in combating negative thinking is to assess your thought process. Are your thoughts true?  Look at your thought record and assess what similar situation you were in, did you learn anything and what were the long-term consequences? Did you handle any situations differently?   A good way to assess negative thoughts is to look for words like “should,” “ought,” or “must.” These types of statements are usually negative and critical of yourself. Ask a friend or trusted family member if you are unsure if thoughts are true. Another technique is to interrupt your negative thoughts. Imagine a stop light or noise that stops the thought. Your goals here are to interrupt the negative thought and to remind yourself of your thought patterns. Then, you will experience a...

Article in English: To understand what it means to walk with God on a spiritual level, consider what it means to literally take a walk with a friend or relative. Ask yourself how you interact with that person. What do you expect from that individual, and how to you speak and behave in return? When you take a walk with someone, the two of you are traveling in one direction. Your steps move at a similar pace so that neither one of you leaves the other behind. You talk with each other and your attention remains on one another. In short, there is an overall sense of harmony, unity, and community between the two of your during your walk. Scriptures contain a few different examples of men and women who followed God, but to understand what it means to walk with God, look specifically for examples using that exact phrase—“walk with God.”  Enoch is the first person man in the Bible said to walk with God, and as such, he is possibly the most common example used to illustrate the concept. According the Scripture, "Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him" (Genesis 5:22–24). The gist of this passage is that Enoch was in close community with God throughout all the years of his life, so much so that God took him away to Paradise at the end of his days. While this passage does not suggest that anyone who walks with God will be taken to Heaven without seeing death, it does imply that walking with God opens up the pathway there.

Article in English: To understand why this algorithm works for finding cube roots, you first need to recall what the cubic expansion looks like for a binomial. You probably learned this in Algebra or Algebra II in high school (and, if you're like most people, probably forgot it soon after). Select two variables A{\displaystyle A} and B{\displaystyle B} to represent single digit numbers. Then create the binomial of (10A+B){\displaystyle (10A+B)} to represent a two digit number. Using the term 10A{\displaystyle 10A} is what creates a two digit number. Whatever digit you select for A{\displaystyle A}, 10A{\displaystyle 10A} will put that digit into the tens column. For example, if A{\displaystyle A} is 2 and B{\displaystyle B} is 6, then (10A+B){\displaystyle (10A+B)} becomes 26. We are working backward here, by creating the cube first, to then see why the solution for cube roots works. We need to find the value of (10A+B)3{\displaystyle (10A+B)^{3}}. You do this by multiplying out (10A+B)∗(10A+B)∗(10A+B){\displaystyle (10A+B)*(10A+B)*(10A+B)}. This is too lengthy to show right here, but the end result is 1000A3+300A2B+30AB2+B3{\displaystyle 1000A^{3}+300A^{2}B+30AB^{2}+B^{3}}. For more about expanding the binomial to get this result, you can see Multiply Binomials. For a more advanced, shortcut version, read Calculate (x+y)^n with Pascal's Triangle. Notice that the method for calculating the cube root works like long division. In long division, you find two factors that multiply together to give the product of the number you begin with. In the calculation here, the number you are solving for (the number that winds up on top of the radical sign) is the cube root. That means that it represents the (10A+B) term. The actual A and B are irrelevant for now, as long as you just recognize the relationship to the answer. When you look at the expanded polynomial, you can see why the cube root algorithm works. Recognize that the divisor of each step of the algorithm is the sum of four terms that you need to calculate and add together. These...

Article in English: To use an herb as a tea, boil water. Add either 1 teaspoon of loose, dried herb, 1 tablespoon of fresh herb or a tea bag to a cup of boiled water and let it steep for five to ten minutes. Strain if the tea if you used loose herbs and flavor it with honey or lemon if you like. Ask your pharmacist to recommend a reputable brand of supplements; the supplement industry is not regulated, meaning there is no guarantee you are getting the advertised product. Your pharmacist may know which companies are trustworthy. You should also look for verifiable contact information for the company and look for any seals of approval from the Natural Products Association (NPA), Consumer Labs or the US Pharmacopeia (USP). The manufacturer should follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).  Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when taking supplements. You should also inform your doctor of any supplements you're taking. Buy only fresh supplements (check the expiration date). Valerian is a root that has the properties of a mild sedative, helping you fall asleep faster and more easily. Valerian has been used as a sleep aid for thousands of years, although it should not be given to children under 3 years old.

Article in English: To use your Beauty Blender to apply foundation, concealer, blush, highlighter, setting powder, or any face makeup, press the damp sponge into the makeup. Don't dab it too hard, though, or you may wind up picking up too much product.  For makeup products such as foundation, tinted moisturizer, BB cream, or concealer, it helps to put some on the back of your hand and dab the sponge into it there. For the best results, don't apply the makeup directly to the Beauty Blender. For makeup products that are in a compact, such as cream blush or highlighter, you can dab the sponge directly into the pan. For loose powder products, such as setting powder, shake some into the lid and dab the sponge into it there. For makeup items that you'll be applying to large areas of the face, such as a foundation or cream blush, dab the rounded bottom of the sponge into the makeup. For makeup that you're concentrating in small areas, such as concealer under the eyes or highlighter along the cheekbones, dab the pointed end of the sponge into the makeup. When you've dabbed some of the makeup onto the sponge, tap the round bottom against your skin to apply the makeup. Don't wipe the sponge across your face, but bounce it to gently stipple or press the makeup into the skin for a flawless finish.  Stipple the sponge over your skin until all of the makeup is evenly blended. It may take a couple of bounces in the same area to fully blend the makeup. You don't have to press the sponge very hard against your skin to blend the makeup. Bounce it gently, and the sponge will do the rest of the work. To apply concealer or foundation under the eyes, around the nose, along the lips, or in another small areas, press the pointed edge of the Beauty Blender against the skin. You'll want to press a little harder than you would with the rounded edge to ensure that the makeup is completely blended into the skin. Because the Beauty Blender sponge is so absorbent, it can easily grow bacteria. You want it to be clean the next time you use it, so try to get in...

Article in English: To wean the baby gradually choose a feeding that happens during a busy time of the day and replace it with your chosen substitute. Place either pumped breast milk or formula in a bottle or cup to feed the baby.  Do the feeding in a new room in the house. Weaning a baby is both a physical and psychological transition. Doing it in a new room can help the baby ease away from associating a particular atmosphere with food.     Give the baby extra comfort and hugs during the feeding to help the transition go more smoothly. As the baby grows used to the new style of eating, keep replacing another feeding every two or three days. Don't rush the process too much, or the baby may grow confused and the weaning plan could backfire.  Offer the baby milk or formula in a cup or bottle before every feeding, even those you don't plan to fully replace. Getting the baby used to these alternative feeding instruments is an essential transition step.     Shorten the breastfeeding sessions you still have. Continue replacing and shortening feedings over the course of a few weeks until the baby has switched almost entirely to drinking from a bottle or cup, depending on which one you have chosen to provide. For example, many babies breastfeed right before they go to sleep. Start putting the baby to bed without first breastfeeding so that he or she will be able to sleep without this activity.  Replacing breastfeeding with another ritual can help. For example, consider reading a story, playing a game or rocking in the rocking chair before the baby goes to sleep. Don't replace breastfeeding with an object, like a stuffed animal or pacifier. These items will make the weaning process more difficult for the baby.

Article in English: To win, you need to set goals and achieve them. Write a list of the goal or goals you want to win at. Make them as detailed as possible. Break large, vague goals down into achievable parts. For example, if your goal is to "win at life," break that down into smaller goals, such as "get a job I love" "finish my education" "build meaningful relationships" "feel good about myself." First, break each goal into smaller ones. Breaking your goals down allows you to track your progress. For instance, the goal "feel good about myself" could be broken down into sub-goals such as "build a positive self-image" "exercise" "be well rested" and "work through negative feelings."  Break those goals down again into actionable steps. For instance, "be well rested" can be broken down into "1. Start winding down at 8:30." "2. Be ready for bed by 10 every night." "3. Wake up at 7:30am and get immediately out of bed." Identify the steps that are most difficult. For instance, it may be easy for you to wind down and get into bed at the same time every night, but difficult to pop right out of bed in the morning. Identifying the challenging steps allows you to practice and revise. If getting out of bed immediately is difficult, add helpful steps, such as setting your clothes out beside your bed the night before. Get organized and create an achievement schedule for yourself. Have daily goals, weekly goals, monthly goals, and yearly goals. Check in regularly to make sure you are achieving them all. If you don't achieve all your goals one week, try again the next. Make sure your goals are actually achievable. You can't win at an impossible game. If a goal can be broken down into actionable steps, it is probably realistic. Make sure your time frame is also realistic. Can everything you want to achieve be achieved in the time you envision? Check your progress as you go, and revise your schedule until the pace of improvement is reasonable.  Try introducing one or two changes to your schedule at a time. If you try to change everything in your...

Article in English: To write an effective prologue, you need to first consider which prologue type fits with your novel. Often, prologues are written after the novel has been completed or when a novel is in its finishing stages. If you are writing a prologue cold, with no other chapters written, you should still think about how the prologue is going to affect the rest of the book.  Think about how the prologue is going to enhance your novel and feel integral to the story. Will it reveal character, setting, or point of view? Will it provide backstory or frame the rest of the novel in a particular way? If you are writing a prologue for a completed book, you should also think about how the prologue will interact with your first chapter. The prologue should hook your reader in and be just as strong as the details and scenes in your first chapter, if not better. The prologue should not regurgitate details in the first chapter or feel redundant in any way, as this will likely lead to a boring and dry prologue. Often, prologues are set within a scene, especially in action and thriller novels. This gives the prologue a fast pace and helps to engage the reader right away. You should think about which scene or scenes you would like to use in your prologue. This may be based on the character voice you decide to use for the prologue. Use the five senses to make the scene come alive for the reader, with a focus on what the scene smells like, feels like, sounds like, and of course, how it looks. Have your character interact with these elements in the scene and use your character as a way for your reader to access the scene. Most prologues are successful if they are short and to the point. Try to use only one to two scenes in the prologue, as too many scenes can make the prologue feel too long and drawn out. Often, using one powerful scene as the prologue can be very effective and draw the reader in right away. Avoid hopping around in time a lot in your prologue, as this can make the prologue feel confusing or jumpy to the reader. Try to stay...

Article in English: Toast — white or wheat — goes great with eggs. Its crispness perfectly compliments the naturally soft texture of eggs. Best of all, when you're eating over easy eggs, you can use the toast to soak up the runny yolk. Alternatively, make an egg sandwich with your other favorite breakfast ingredients. Substitute crisp fried hash browns for toast whenever desired. Eggs have a natural mild flavor, which makes them great candidates for spicy condiments. Hot sauces (e.g., Tabasco, etc.) drizzled over a serving of eggs can transform them from a run-of-the-mill dish into something with a little more pizzazz. Just be sure not to use too much. If you're willing to get a little adventurous, you can try seasoning your eggs with ingredients that you won't typically see at your neighborhood diner. The following herbs and spices each give their own unique taste to egg dishes. Try adding a small amount to your eggs at first — if you like the taste, feel free to add more!
