Article in English: Celery plants are heavy feeders that require rich soil that must be fertilized frequently. To keep your celery plants happy, fertilize with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer every few weeks from planting to harvest. The most important aspect of caring for your celery plants is making sure that they are always well-hydrated. If they do not get enough water, celery plants will become shriveled and bitter to the taste. Blanching consists of shielding the celery stalks from the sun to achieve a milder flavor. Cover the stalks with newspaper, a milk carton with the top and bottom removed, or any other type of paper or cardboard. You can use twine to tie the celery stalks to keep them from sprawling.  While blanching is not required, it will alter the taste and color of your celery. Additionally, blanched celery is less nutritious than unblanched celery. Most people prefer the sweeter taste of blanched celery. Be aware that some varieties are "self-blanching" and don't need to be blanched. You can begin to harvest the stalks when they reach 8 inches (20 cm) in height. Make sure to begin your harvest from the outside stalks and work inward. This allows the innermost stalks to continue to mature.  Once mature, celery can sit in the ground for about 1 month as long as the soil remains a cool temperature between 60° and 75° Fahrenheit (16-24° Celsius). The longer the celery grows and the darker it becomes, the richer in antioxidants and more nutritious it will be. However, it will also become more tough and fibrous.

Article in English: Celiac disease is an immune reaction that progressively destroys the nutrient-absorbing villi in your small intestine. Your body may not absorb nutrients properly, and your small intestine can become permeable, meaning that its contents leak into your gut. Celiac disease can be identified with a blood test and an intestinal biopsy.If tests for both gluten allergy and celiac disease are negative and you suspect you may be sensitive to gluten, a gluten intolerance or sensitivity may be the underlying cause. Unfortunately, there is no test to confirm or rule out gluten sensitivity. It has to be diagnosed on the basis of your symptoms. Although the tests cannot confirm a sensitivity to gluten, they can confirm the presence of some conditions that commonly occur as a result of gluten intolerance. Some related conditions include:  Low iron levels Fat in the stool Poor dental health (problems with the teeth) due to malnourishment Poor calcium absorption Delayed growth in children Be on the lookout for hidden sources of gluten in salad dressings, condiments, soups, sauces, and even cosmetics. Even vitamins and supplements can contain gluten. Always check ingredient labels on all food and cosmetic products. Use the journal to note any changes that occur over the course of the diet. Revisit the symptoms pages and notice whether any of the listed symptoms have improved or disappeared since eliminating gluten from your diet. Pay attention to how you feel when you begin eating gluten again. If vanished symptoms return after you reintegrate gluten and you feel worse than you did when you were on the elimination diet, you may have confirmed a gluten intolerance. If you confirm your gluten intolerance after re-introducing gluten into your diet, you will have to re-eliminate gluten-containing foods from your diet. Learning which foods are safe for you when you have gluten intolerance or sensitivity can be a trial and error process. Keep a food diary and record every meal or snack (including beverages). If you ever experience...

Article in English: Cell phones, MP3 players, or camcorders that you don't use anymore are all fair game. This helps as you can make money. They are actually still valuable! Just be sure that you perform a factory reset on the device before selling it. If you don't do that, the buyer will be really confused with weird calls and songs they may not like. You can sell them on websites like eBay or Amazon or even to your friends. Buy multi-packs of candy for 50 cents and sell them at school, a candy stand, etc. for $1 each. If you manage to sell twenty in a day, you'll make $10. Alternatively, you could make a lemonade stand and sell 1 glass for 50 cents or $1. Because this is a sales job, it means you have to go up to people and talk them into visiting a store or buying a product/service. Just put a smile on your face and remember that most adults love children. You were born to sell! Do you have any junk that you don't need or any toys that you don't play with anymore? Sell them! One man's trash is another man's treasure. If you live in an apartment this may be hard. If so, then contact a friend and ask if you can "borrow their yard" for a day. Don't forget to get a Garage Sale permit from your city or township. If you know how to make bookmarks, for example, make them, and then set up a stand on the edge of your yard, or hand out fliers at school. Just know that some schools frown on this practice. Be sure to talk to your school before doing this. Some quick and easy business ideas for you to consider:  Make toys for pets. People love their cats, dogs, parakeets, and fish. Why not design toys for their pets to enjoy? Make food arrangements. Candy, fruit, and other foods are begging to be arranged in nice ways for people to show off before they eat it. An easy way to turn a nice profit. Make use of holidays. It's Halloween, so why not offer to carve pumpkins? It's Christmas, so why not make homemade ornaments for people to hang on their trees? Offer to make scrapbooks for other people. Scrapbooking is a very profitable industry...

Article in English: Cellphones have never been so fragile and prone to scratching as they are today. Screen protectors are commonplace, and you should invest in one if you're the slightest bit worried about damaging your phone. Common phone protectors aren't generally too expensive, and they'll be much more affordable than replacing your screen or phone if the damage is bad enough. Higher-end protectors are virtually unbreakable, while affordable brands will at least take damage so your phone proper won't have to. Between a plastic screen protector and tempered glass protector, you are better off investing in the latter. Tempered glass protectors offer better durability, visibility, and comfortable feel. Most of the time your phone is scratched or damaged, you'll be on the go somewhere. It's important to consider where scratches come from and how they're most likely to be made. Put your phone in a separate pocket than your keys or coins. If possible, place your phone in a zip-up pocket to prevent it falling out accidentally. Don't put your phone in your back pocket. On top of risking cracking if you sit down on it, there have been reports of it causing nerve problems due to the pressure it creates on your backside.

Article in English: Certain animals—such as hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, lizards, and snakes—require a cage to live in. You may be tempted to let your animal friend run freely around the room, or you may try to make a shelter out of a drawer or cupboard. Do not do this. Your pet may get loose, or there may not be enough air for your pet to breathe. If your parent sees them running loose in the house, they may think it is a wild animal and get rid of it. Always get a proper pet cage, hutch, or tank.  Guinea pigs and rabbits can have hutches or cube and coroplast cages. Hamsters and mice can live in wire cages. Fish live in tanks or aquariums. Some fish will require aquarium lights. Reptiles live in glass terrariums. They will need a basking lamp with a UVB lightbulb. You can place the cage in a corner and arrange your furniture around it so that it cannot be seen. Similarly, if your closet is big enough, you can try fitting it there. Be sure to leave your closet door slightly open so there is plenty of air getting to your pets. Some pets do not like being in the dark constantly. Leave a closet light on, or make sure that there is a small light attached to your cage. Few cages are small enough to fit under a bed, but you may be able to keep it out of view on a shelf. Make sure you that you can easily reach the cage without trouble. Use books and other items to hide the cage on the shelf. This works best for smaller cages, such as hamster cages, reptile terrariums, or small fish bowls. If you have a guinea pig cage or rabbit hutch, you can drape a blanket over the cage to hide most of it. Make sure that there is at least one wire/mesh wall free so your pets can breathe and look out. If the cage can support it, place light objects, such as notebooks or jewelry boxes, on top to disguise it. If you have a fish tank, a wire hamster cage, or a reptile terrarium, this is not a good idea, as the top may need to be left open for oxygen, lamp wires, or exercise. You should scoop out any poop every day, but at least once a week, do a...

Article in English: Certain anti-anxiety medications can increase your brain’s receptiveness to GABA. Medications like Xanax and other anti-anxiety medications, called benzodiazepines, are often prescribed to help reduce your anxiety levels and increase your GABA levels. However, these medications also come with side effects that may affect your health negatively in other ways. Speak to your doctor about medications you can take to increase GABA.  These medications have the potential to be addictive and are only meant to be prescribed for short periods of time. If you are diagnosed with anxiety or high stress, your doctor may suggest a certain anti-anxiety medication to help you address the issue. One side effect of this medication could be an increase in GABA. Before you consume any vitamin or mineral supplements, make sure you speak to your doctor first. This is especially important if you are already on medication, as you do not want the supplement to interact badly with your medication. You should also ask your doctor if they can confirm the supplements are legitimate and safe to take.  Your doctor may recommend that you speak to a naturopath or a holistic practitioner to get access to reliable supplements and natural treatments for increasing GABA. Depending upon your doctor’s expertise, their knowledge about supplements may be limited. Your doctor may recommend that you try dietary changes and lifestyle changes to increase GABA, especially if you do not want to go on anti-anxiety medication. They may suggest that you try changes to your diet and lifestyle first before they prescribe medications.

Article in English: Certain cat breeds, such as Himalayans, have a genetic predisposition toward developing mineral deposits in the bladder. But other factors can cause bladder stones in any breed.  A diet high in acidity or calcium, magnesium, or phosphorus may cause mineral buildup.  Decreased water consumption may lead to the concentration of minerals in the bladder.  A urinary tract infection may lead to bladder stones.  Certain medications and supplements, including Lasix, Cortisone, Ascorbic Acid, Tetracycline, and Sulfa drugs, may cause bladder stones when used over prolonged periods of time if the cat has a genetic tendency to do so. It is important to be alert for signs that your cat may have uroliths. Common signs to look for include:  Straining or distress when urinating (dysuria)  Bloody urine (hematuria)  Frequent urination in small quantities  Excessive genital licking   Urinating in unusual places Your vet will be able to diagnose bladder stones, and may be able to determine how severe the blockage is in your cat.  Report any unusual behavior or problems you've noticed in your cat. Your vet may take an X Ray or conduct other tests, such as palpating your cat's abdomen, checking its urine, or taking an ultrasonography test. If the cat has bladder stones, a stone, or group of stones, will be seen in the urinary bladder, or other parts of the urinary system such as the kidney, ureter, or urethra.

Article in English: Certain chemicals are just about as effective as others. To prevent insect resistance, it's a good idea to rotate different chemicals when you treat the area. Possibilities include:   Pyrethroids (cypermethrin, fenvalerate, permethrin, resmethrin, tetramethrin, s-bioallethrin, sumithrin);  Organophosphates (coumaphos, dichlorvos, malathion, tetrachlorvinphos)  Organochlorines (lindane, methoxychlor) Always double-check that the chemical you're using is safe to apply directly to livestock. Then:  Use a small mist blower or a handheld mist sprayer to mist the chemical over your animals. If your animals are spooked by the sprayer, then dip a sponge or a mitt in the chemicals and rub the sponge or mitt on your animals.  Always wear rubber gloves. Never let these chemicals come into contact with your skin. Spray a resting areas or barns around the eaves, walls, ceiling and and rafters.  Always remove your livestock from the barn before you spray. Some of your animals may have to stay outside for a while. Just follow the directions on the packaging. Coarsely spray resting areas with insecticides. Make sure to spray under low pressure. Be careful not to contaminate your animals' water and feed buckets. Also, keep the spray off of your farm equipment. Spraying a big area is efficient; it won't require too much time or labor. However, area sprays tend to have a short-lived effect.  Use aircraft, loggers, hydraulic sprayer or mist blowers to dispense the chemicals. The find chemical droplets will travel to where flies live, killing the insects.

Article in English: Certain devices are not compatible with Windows RT, the mobile version of Windows 8 (mainly found on the Surface RT tablet). Check the manufacturer's website. Enter your printer model online to see if Windows RT supports it. Most printers can just be plugged into your computer's USB port and you're good to go, but some require the installation of drivers before the printer is plugged in. Check the manual or quick-start guide to see the recommended installation procedure. You can get the documentation and necessary software from the printer manufacturer's support website if you can't find the physical copies. In most cases Windows 8 will automatically detect the printer and install the correct drivers. Updated drivers may be downloaded through Windows Update during the installation process. Make sure to plug the printer into a USB port directly connect to your computer. Do not plug it into a USB hub, or the printer may not work. If the printer is connected, but is still not showing up, you can try manually adding it. This may be required for older printers that aren't automatically detected by Windows.  Open the Control Panel. You can access the Control Panel by pressing ⊞ Win+X and selecting Control Panel. Select "Devices and Printers". If you are in Category view, click the "View devices and printers" link. The window will display all of your connected devices. Click Add a printer. This is located at the top of the window.

Article in English: Certain foods may irritate the cut in your mouth. Don’t eat anything that is extremely spicy or salty, since this can sting and cause pain. You should also avoid eating hard or dry foods. Instead, eat soft foods that won’t irritate the tissues in your mouth.  You can try to eat dairy products such as ice cream, tender meats, and cooked vegetables. Avoid acidic foods, like tomatoes and citrus fruits. By drinking a lot of fluids, you will keep your mouth wet. A dry mouth can cause pain and irritate the cut in your mouth. Avoid beverages that may cause pain, like citrus fruit juices or acidic beverages. You should avoid alcoholic beverages because they can cause burning. Don’t rinse with mouthwashes that contain alcohol because they may damage the wounded tissues in your mouth and inhibit the healing process. Instead, try rinsing with hydrogen peroxide if you have a mouth sore. If you want to gargle with a mouthwash, use only non-alcoholic ones. You can’t stop talking and using your mouth, but be more careful with the way you use your mouth while a cut is healing. Don’t open your mouth too wide. This can pull on the tissues inside of the mouth and open the cut again or delay the healing process. Apply orthodontic wax to the sharp outer areas of your brackets that tend to irritate the inside of your mouth. This will reduce your pain by limiting the irritation on the cut and will also prevent future cuts.

Article in English: Certain foods, like protein-rich snacks and vegetables, can be great choices when you are trying to stay awake. Stay away from sugary snacks and candies, however. While these may give you a brief burst of energy, they can be followed by a “crash” that will make you tired. Better choices include proteins and complex carbohydrates that are digested slowly, giving you a steady energy release. Good choices include:  Peanut butter on crackers or celery Yogurt Nuts Fresh fruit Celery and carrot sticks Whole grains If you are dehydrated, it can make you feel fatigued. Make sure to drink plenty of water before and during times when you know you will have to stay awake. Drinks that contain caffeine (such as coffee, tea, and some sodas) can give you energy and alertness in the short run, so when you are feeling tired, these can be good options to get re-energized. However, caffeine’s effects may last only a few hours, and leave you feeling even more tired afterwards.  A safe amount of caffeine for adults is 400 mg per day (about four cups of brewed coffee); for children and adolescents, 100 mg per day (about one cup of brewed coffee).  When trying to stay awake, have no more than this so that you don't become jittery and suffer from a severe "crash." Wait until you really need it to have some caffeine, and avoid it during the day beforehand. This will help to maximize its effects and minimize the “crash.” Green tea may be a better option than coffee, as it has less caffeine, and is high in antioxidants that are good for your overall health. Alcohol is a depressant and will make you sleepy. It can also impair your ability to make judgements. When you're trying to stay awake, just avoid all alcohol so that you will remain as alert as possible.

Article in English: Certain foods, such as those that are fatty, fried, sugary, and processed, can result in decreased blood flow throughout your body and can contribute to a vascular form of erectile dysfunction. Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and heart-healthy fats to improve your blood circulation and increase the amount of time you’re able to maintain an erection.  A diet high in animal fat will put pressure on your cardiovascular system, potentially damaging your blood flow. Try to limit the amount of meat and cheese you eat. There is evidence that suggests that a sedentary lifestyle can be a factor in erectile dysfunction. Aerobic exercises, such as running and swimming, can help prevent ED. The exercise can help improve blood flow and circulation, naturally help lower high blood pressure and cholesterol, and can even help improve hormonal balance and drive weight loss – all of which are factors that can help you improve ED and maintain an erection.  Be wary of exercise that puts particular pressure on your perineum (the area between your scrotum and penis). If you like going for long bike rides, be sure you have a bike that fits. Opt for a padded seat, wear some padded shorts, and be sure to stand up on the pedals regularly. Eating a healthy diet and getting plenty of exercise will improve your overall health and help increase your blood flow. Maintaining a healthy weight by combining a healthy diet with exercise will also help you lower your risk of type diabetes, which can contribute to ED.  If you are overweight you may have a heightened risk of high blood pressure and high cholesterol, both of which can damage blood vessels. Having good blood flow is important for maintaining an erection. If you’re overweight, losing weight can help you to tackle erectile dysfunction. Smoking can constrict your blood vessels and affect blood flow, which can lead to problems with maintaining an erection. Stop smoking as soon as possible, and practice one or more smoking cessation programs that can help you...

Article in English: Certain grasses are too sugary for horses, who cannot process the starch. Often, grass in spring and fall is too sugary, as well as grass that was grown particularly for cattle. Though experts are still unsure as to why, this overabundance of starch in the horse's body can lead to laminitis. Avoid feeding your horse on cattle pasture, and also avoid putting your horse to pasture soon after a frost. In addition, closely grazed grass can result in pasture that is too sugar-rich for your horse. Though horses can eat some cereal in their feeds, try to avoid feeding too much. You should especially limit cereals rich in molasses. Similar to overly sugary grass, too much grain can cause excess starch in the body, leading to laminitis. Don't feed more than 3 to 4 pounds of cereal to your horse at one time. Infection in another part of the body can also lead to laminitis. For instance, a horse that doesn't deliver all the afterbirth may develop an infection. In turn, that horse can develop laminitis. Other sicknesses can lead to laminitis, too, such as Cushing's Disease. Be on the lookout for laminitis if your horse has Cushing's. If your horse recently had a round of steroids, make sure to be on the lookout for the symptoms of laminitis. You should particularly pay attention when your horse has had a very large dose of steroids. Please note, steroids and bute must not be given together; it can be fatal. If you horse develops post-steroid laminitis, always speak to your vet before giving bute to relieve the pain. Another factor that can lead to laminitis is working horses too strenuously on hard ground, such as concrete. In addition, horses who are overweight can suffer from laminitis, as the extra weight adds pressure to the hooves. If you don't keep your horse's hooves trimmed, it can place excessive pressure on the hooves. That pressure can damage the laminae, which in turn can lead to laminitis. Hire a local farrier to keep your horse's hooves trimmed. In addition to keeping the hooves trimmed, the farrier will...

Article in English: Certain life stages cause periods to get heavier, and in some cases having a heavy period is genetic. Changes to your body or your lifestyle may be the cause of heavy periods. Be sure to check the following as possible reasons for the heavier-than-usual period:  If you're going through puberty, your periods may be heavy while your hormonal levels adjust; an imbalance in estrogen and progesterone can cause heavy periods.

Article in English: Certain materials, like leather or gel-core inserts, can get damaged by the heat of your dryer. Look at the tag underneath the shoe’s tongue or on their original box to see if they are dryer-safe. If you aren’t able to put your shoes in the dryer, then use another method to dry them.  If you still aren’t sure whether or not your shoes can go in the dryer, assume that they aren’t dryer-safe so you don’t accidentally damage them. Don’t use the dryer if you have running shoes or your shoes are made of leather since the heat will damage them. Slowly close your door, making sure your shoes stay in the center of the door. Keep the knot you tied in the laces above the top of the dryer door so your shoes don’t slip further inside. Once the door is sealed, your shoes won’t tumble around as your dryer spins so you don’t damage anything. You can also buy shoe racks that sit in your dryer if you don’t want to hang them from the door. Set your dryer to the lowest heat setting possible to reduce any amount of damage to your shoes. Let the dryer run for a full cycle before checking your shoes. If they still feel wet, run them for an additional 20-30 minutes at a time until they’re dry inside and out.  Never use high heat when you’re drying your shoes since you could weaken glue or rubber and make your shoes break apart faster. The heat from your dryer may increase your shoes’ odor.

Article in English: Certain medications and medication combinations can cause damage to the liver, especially when taken regularly for an extended time. To improve your ALT levels, stay away from drugs known to weaken the liver.  Acetaminophen can be toxic to the liver when taken in excess. Aside from being marketed as a separate painkiller, it is also found in many cold medicines and prescription pain medications. Other pain medications can have similar consequences, including aspirin, diclofenac, and naproxen. Cholesterol drugs can also harm the liver, but you should talk to your doctor before you quit taking a prescription cholesterol medication. Additional drugs that may cause elevated ALT levels include some antibiotics (sulfonamides, nitrofurantoin), tuberculosis medications (isoniazid), anti-fungal medications (fluconazole, itraconazole), seizure medications (phenytoin, carbamazepine), and tricyclic antidepressants. Statins, chemotherapy, narcotics, and barbiturates can cause elevated ALT levels, as well.  If you are already taking medications, talk to a doctor or pharmacist before starting a new medication to verify that the interaction with your current medications will not hurt your liver. If you prefer natural remedies, you can consult a holistic medicine practitioner. Just make sure to talk to your primary doctor as well to make sure that these remedies are safe for you. High ALT levels are not necessarily harmful on their own, but they often indicate that something is wrong with your liver.

Article in English: Certain medications can be prescribed by your dermatologist to help with particularly bad cases of acne, but should be used with caution. As with all medications, there may be unwanted side-effects in a small portion of the population.  An antibiotic pill can help kill the bacteria that may be causing your acne. Topical antibiotics applied directly to the skin can also be used. Going on a specialized form of birth control (for women) can help to regulate hormones which may be producing your bad acne. Ask your dermatologist if this seems like a good option for you to take. In particularly troublesome cases of acne, a specialized drug known as accutane can be prescribed. This is an incredibly intense retinoid treatment that has shown to almost completely remove all acne in users. However, it has the most serious side-effects of any acne-fighting drug and should be used with extreme caution. These are available at most spas, and involve the use of several different cleansers, masks, and extraction tools to reduce acne on your face. If you don’t feel comfortable with having an esthetician work on your face, visit your dermatologist for a more medically-oriented facial. A facial peel is a specialized gel containing acid that dissolves dead skin and bacteria cells. Getting these on a regular basis can greatly reduce acne over time in addition to your regular skincare regimen. This is a process by which your skin is “sanded” away to produce new skin growth. Getting microdermabrasion treatments once a week over several months is the most effective route to take, as each treatment only affects the outermost layer of skin. That’s right - use lasers to kill off your acne. Many dermatologists now offer a treatment in which they use lasers to fire strong blasts of light to kill overactive oil-producing glands beneath your skin. This process can be painful, but has been shown to cut down acne 50% on average. Unlike painful laser treatments, light treatments use milder pulses of light fired off by a specialized wand to help...

Article in English: Certain medications such as calcium channel blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, anti-androgens, and anabolic steroids can cause fertility problems. If you are currently taking medications that affect sperm motility, speak to your healthcare provider about alternative treatments that won’t slow down or reduce your sperm count. If you'll be starting chemotherapy or radiation therapy for cancer, ask your doctor about retrieving sperm before starting your courses of therapy. Then you could use the sperm for in-vitro fertilization at some point. Some health conditions can reduce your sperm count or slow the sperm down. Get a medical exam to diagnose any untreated conditions and follow your doctor's treatment plan. Sometimes, just treating the condition can improve the motility of your sperm. For example, if you have a urinary tract infection, the infection can slow down or reduce the amount of sperm you produce. Take antibiotics to treat the infection and your sperm should quickly improve. If you have a very low sperm count, talk with your doctor about taking hormones to improve your fertility. Remember to ask them about potential side effects. The doctor may prescribe:  Clomiphene citrate Serophene Follitropin alfa or gonal-F injections Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) Letrozole or anastrozole Exogenous androgens If you and your partner have been trying to conceive for at least 1 year, talk with a fertility specialist about your options. With IVF, mature eggs from your partner will be extracted and joined with your sperm in a laboratory. The fertilized egg will be inserted into your partner's uterus where it will hopefully implant. If your sperm is simply slow, the doctor may recommend intrauterine insemination (IUI) where your sperm is injected into your partner's uterus. If it's timed when your partner is ovulating, your partner might be able to conceive.

Article in English: Certain minerals used in oil paints dry faster than others. If you need to complete a painting in a short time frame, try using earth tones. Many earth colors use paints made from iron oxides, which can dry up to several days faster than other pigments. Avoid using pigments like ivory black and cadmium, which tend to dry very slowly. Pigments made from lead and cobalt are known to dry quickly. Using colors made from these metals can help speed the drying time of your painting. The drying time of oil paints can vary based on the oil which was used. Linseed oil dries faster than walnut oil, which itself dries faster than poppy oil. Paints made from linseed oil can speed your painting's drying time significantly, and they're easily found at most art supply stores. Gesso is a primer that is applied to the canvas first to seal the canvas and prolong the life of the painting. Glue chalk gesso is good for oil paintings because it will absorb some of the oil from the base layers, helping the painting to dry faster. Dip a primer or sponge brush into the gesso and apply it to the canvas in a thin layer. Allow it to dry thoroughly before moving on to oil paint. Since linseed oil dries faster than other kinds of oil, mixing a little extra linseed oil with the paint on your palette can help speed the drying time of your painting. There are a number of products available which are designed to thin oil paint and help it to dry faster. Turpentine is the most traditional drying medium, but alkyd mediums such as Liquin are also popular. Different solvents may produce slightly different textures to your paint, so experiment to see which one you prefer. Solvents can be hazardous, so be sure to follow any label instructions and handle these products with care.

Article in English: Certain objects react to microwave frequencies:  A straight fluorescent light bulb (not a compact one)  A neon "NE-2" bulb from an electronics store, powered and hooked up to a voltage divider so it is just barely glowing  Cheap, consumer-grade microwave testers are often inaccurate, but fine as a first test  A professional-grade microwave tester can cost several hundred dollars USD. This is only necessary in professional contexts. If you are using a light bulb, dim the lights so you'll be able to see the bulb glow. Skip this step if you are using a microwave testing device. Running an empty microwave exposes the magnetron (the part that actually creates the microwaves) to high power levels, which can damage or destroy it. A small glass of water (roughly 275 mL / a little over 1 cup) will reduce this risk, while still leaving plenty of un-absorbed microwaves to test for leaks. This is especially important for older microwaves, which may have lower quality shielding around the magnetron. Set it to run for one minute. Hold the light bulb or tester at least 5 cm (2 inches) away from the surface of the microwave, including the handle. Move the object slowly (about 2.5 cm / 1 inch per minute) around the door seal and any areas that look damaged.  The microwave's power decreases rapidly with distance. Consider testing it at the distance you normally stand from the microwave, for instance the edge of the kitchen counter. If the microwave stops before you are done, replace the glass of water and run the oven for another minute. If your microwave leaks, the fluorescent tube will glow, or the neon bulb will become noticeably brighter. Electronic testers react in different ways, so check the manual. If the tester displays a measurement, anything about 5 mW/cm2 at a distance of 5 cm (2 inches) is cause for concern. All of these methods are just quick tests, even the consumer-grade tester. These results do not necessarily mean your microwave is dangerous, but it does mean it's worth taking steps to address the problem.

Article in English: Certain people, places, and situations make sinning easy. Certain sins are  impossible  without the right equipment, setting, or people. Make sure that you stay far away from the things that lead you to sin. If you have a drug addiction, stay out of the parts of town where these things are sold. If you're frequently persuaded by certain friends to commit acts of vandalism, don't hang out with these friends. By distancing yourself from the people and things associated with your sin, you're eliminating opportunities for sin and giving yourself less chances to fail.  Generally, it's a good idea to help other people work through their own sins. However, if you're struggling with the pull of your own temptations, sinful people can make it difficult to escape. Wait until you have your temptations under control before returning to help these people with their own sins. Eliminate the sources of temptation from your home. For instance, throw out a pornography collection. You may, in some cases, need to eliminate distractions from your own home. For instance, kick out a roommate who frequently convinces you to neglect your responsibilities. You don't need to fight your temptations alone. There is no shame in asking for help from God or from another person. If you're having difficulty avoiding your temptations, don't hesitate to turn to a priest, imam/sheikh/scholar, clergyman, pastor, counselor, or trusted friend. Accepting help is a strong, sensible thing to do and part of these peoples' purpose is to help you when you're experiencing difficulty. Certain temptations (like, for instance, the temptation to look at pornography) aren't necessarily seen as sinful by mainstream society, although they are. If you're looking for help with such a temptation, it might make more sense to consult a priest, rabbi, imam, etc. rather than a secular helper. There's truth to the old saying "Idle hands are the devil's playthings." If you keep yourself busy with good, virtuous work or an assortment of hobbies, you'll have less time to...

Article in English: Certain sexually transmitted infections, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, can cause scarring that interferes with the passage of sperm. Get regularly tested for STIs; if you have one, be sure to get the proper treatment. In most cases you'll be prescribed a course of antibiotics to clear up the infection. This is a swelling of the veins that drain the testicle. It can lead to increased temperature of the testicle and decreased sperm count. See your doctor to determine if this might be affecting your fertility. If so, a surgical procedure can take care of the problem. It's possible that your sperm count is low because your hormones are out of balance. Hormone replacement treatments and medications can change your hormone levels and help you produce more sperm. Talk with your doctor about whether this option is right for you. Hormone replacement treatments and medications usually take at least 3 months to work before you start seeing results.

Article in English: Certain sites allow users to purchase packages of phony followers to instantly increase their perceived audience. However, the people at Instagram responsible for verifying profiles can easily tell which followers are real and which aren't. For this reason, it's best to stay away from dubious offers and focus on building your following the honest way—by putting up interesting content and making sure your posts are visible. While it may seem like a smart strategy, Instagram is more likely to deny you your much-desired blue check if they catch you taking cheap shortcuts. New and automated accounts sometimes leave token comments on other user's posts in an effort to get likes, comments, or follows in return. Too many of these comments might end up reflecting poorly on you, as they make it look like you're resorted to buying followers or are happy with any attention you can get. If you notice any suspicious comments from accounts that are obviously fake, do yourself a favor and get rid of them right away.  Spam comments tend to be generic, and may not have anything to do with the post itself. It's not uncommon for comments like, "Sweet pic!", "Nice!", or “Love it!” to show up repeatedly from the same sort of accounts.  Be wary of new comments appearing on old posts. Bogus accounts often choose photos and videos to comment on at random. If you haven't done so already, read through Instagram's user agreement carefully and avoid posting any content that violates the terms laid out there. Instagram is unlikely to extend verification status to accounts that flagrantly break the rules.  Only share photos and videos you have the original rights to. Reposting copyrighted material is a major no-no, no matter how well-known you are.  Avoid uploading any content that may be deemed violent, graphic, or sexually explicit. Make sure the comments you leave on other user's accounts are respectful, courteous, and add something to the conversation. Using inflammatory or abusive language can be enough to get your account blocked.

Article in English: Certain things are hard to do through an association or visualization technique and so you have to use a different memory technique, called mnemonic devices. There are a variety of different devices that you can use. Some work better for certain types of information than others.  Make acronyms for things you're trying to remember. Take the first letter of each word and turn it into an acronym that makes sense to you. For example you might do H.O.M.E.S. for the Great Lakes (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior). Mnemonics can be useful for remembering spelling. Make up a little rhyme/nonsense phrase using a word for each letter. For example to remember necessary you might remember 'Never Eat Cake; Eat Salad Sandwiches And Remain Young'. Make acoustics. This basically is a nonsense phrase that helps you remember the first letter of a sequence of information (this is used a lot for mathematical formulas). For example Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally is used to remember the order of operations: Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract. You can also make up little poems or rhymes to help you remember important information. For example: "I before e except after c/ or when sounding like a/ in neighbor and weigh" helps you remember where e and i go when they're together. There are a couple different types of association, but the importance of all the different association methods is that you associate something you already know with something you're trying to remember and what you already knows helps you recall the second part.  Use a funny or odd image to recall a fact that you need to remember. For example, if you're trying to remember JFK's involvement in the Bay of Pigs invasion, you might visualize the president swimming in the ocean with a bunch of pigs. While it may seem silly, the association of ocean and pigs will lead you back to JFK and you won't forget. Number association is associating certain numbers with a mental image. This is partly why so many passwords and codes that people come...

Article in English: Certain types of apples are more prone to browning than others, so if you're planning on cutting up your apples, go for kind less inclined to brown. Studies conducted on the browning of apples revealed that: "Arangeh tend to brown the least. Granny Smith and Golden Smoty apples also showed minimal browning. Golden Delicious apples were in the middle, and Red Delicious apples browned the most." If the knife you're using is old, it may be corroded by organic acids and leave deposits of iron salts on the cut fruit. These iron salts can significantly speed up the oxidation process, causing your apple to brown much faster. This is why using a clean, high-quality knife is important in helping to slow down the oxidation process.

Article in English: Certain types of flowering shrubs, like rhododendron and azalea plants, require fairly acidic soil to grow properly. These plants are often native to areas with a high amount of rainfall, like the Pacific Northwest region of the United States (frequent rainfall generally lowers soil pH). For these types of shrubs, a pH range of about 4.5 - 5.5 is optimal. However, pH levels as high as 6.0 are usually acceptable. Many brightly-colored flowers, like petunias and begonias, grow best in acidic soils. For some of these flowers, changing a soil acidity from slightly acidic to very acidic can produce a visible change in the bloom color. For instance, growing a hydrangea in soil with a pH level of about 6.0 - 6.2 will produce a plant with pink flowers, while lowering the pH  level to about 5.2 - 5.5 will produce a plant with purple/blue flowers. The blue color of low-pH hydrangeas comes from the chemical aluminum. When the pH of the soil is low, it's easier for the hydrangea to absorb aluminum from the soil, which shows in the flower petals. Many needled evergreen trees grow in slightly acidic soil. For instance, spruces, firs, and pines all thrive in soils with a pH level of about 5.5 - 6.0. In addition, the needles of these types of trees can be introduced to neutral or alkaline soil as organic matter which lowers soil pH as the needles decay. Perhaps the most well-known acid-loving plant is the blueberry, which thrives in highly acidic soils (generally about 4.0 - 5.0 is ideal). However, several other species of berry also favor acidic soil. For instance, cranberries grow best at a level of about 4.2 - 5.0, while gooseberries, currants, and elderberries grow best at a level of about 5.5 - 6.5. Most varieties of garden ferns prefer soil pH levels below 7.0 — even those that prefer alkaline soils can usually tolerate slightly acidic soils. For instance, Maidenhair Ferns prefer soil pHs of about 7.0 - 8.0 but can grow even in soils with levels of about 6.0. Some ferns can even tolerate soils with a pH as low as 4.0....

Article in English: Certain types of herbal tea are believed to help lower the amount of creatinine in your blood. Studies supporting this benefit are limited, but the theory has not been disproved, either.  Drink around two 8-oz (250-ml) glasses of herbal tea each day. Herbal teas worth checking out include chamomile, nettle leaf, dandelion root. The idea is that these teas stimulate the kidneys and cause an increase in the production of urine. As such, more creatinine can be passed out of the body. Nettle leaf may help to increase your renal excretion, with will help to eliminate excess amounts of creatinine. Nettles contain histamines and flavonoids, which can help to increase the blood flow to your kidneys, thus increasing urine filtration. Nettle leaves can be taken in the form of supplements or can be made into tea. Salvia is an herb that may increase your glomerular filtration rate, which helps to facilitate the elimination of creatinine.  Salvia contains lithospermate B, which helps to promote renal function. Set up a meeting with your doctor to discuss the possible use of salvia. Do not take salvia without consulting your doctor.

Article in English: Certain websites such as Hulu use the RTMP protocol to stream their videos. These videos are Flash objects, but cannot be accessed the same way that a normally-embedded Flash object can. If you are trying to save a flash movie but cannot find the actual SWF file for the video, you are probably trying to access an RTMP stream. There are a few programs that specialize in capturing the streams for RTMP files. Some of the more popular programs include:  Replay Media Capture StreamTransport Most of these programs will attempt to install browser plugins and toolbars that can slow down your web browsing experience. Make sure to disable and decline any extra installations during the program’s setup. These programs are notoriously finicky and there is a chance that they will not work with your particular system setup or with the specific video you are trying to capture. RTMP capture programs must be running before you load the video. They will automatically begin capturing the playback when the video starts. After a moment, the stream should appear in your RTMP capturing program. You will need to play the entire video in the browser in order for the whole thing to be captured. Once you are done streaming, select the appropriate file in your RTMP capture program and save it wherever you’d like on your computer. There will likely be several options to pick from in the capture program, due to ads that are often played with videos. Inspect the file details to see the length, which will help you determine which of the files is the correct one. You may need to use a specialized video player to watch the videos after saving them. VLC player and Media Player Classic are two of the most popular free options available.

Article in English: Cervical disc disease, also known as a slipped disc, tends to happen as dogs age. Typically discs "slip" in one of two ways: disc extrusion, in which the nucleus pulposus slips out from the center of a vertebra and causes damage to the spinal cord, or disc protrusion, in which the fibrous ring around vertebrae grow thicker, causing the spinal cord to painfully contract. Typical symptoms include:  Neck pain/sensitivity  Yelping or crying  Rigidity of the neck  Difficulty or inability to lower the head during feeding  Difficulty walking  Arched back  Down-turned head  Incontinence  Paralysis A veterinarian is the only person who can diagnose cervical disc disease. He will probably take X-rays of the neck and spine to determine whether a disc extrusion or protrusion is the cause of your dog's pain. Unless your vet recommends surgery to correct the slipped disc, the best way to treat cervical disc disease is through supportive care.  Keep walks relatively short. Use a harness on walks instead of locking the leash to your dog's collar, as a collar may put additional strain on your dog's neck.  Administer any pain medication or muscle relaxants your vet prescribes for your dog.

Article in English: Cervical mucus, a protective substance on the cervix, changes at different points in your cycle. Your body produces more mucus right around the time of ovulation to help facilitate the fertilization of the egg. Once you get to know your pattern well, it’s possible to use it to predict the day you will ovulate. To learn how to check your mucus, see  How to Check Cervical Mucus. Check your mucus every day after your period ends, and note the distinct changes that take place over the course of your cycle. Keep track of the changes on a calendar.  Chart the days when you have your period, dry days, and days when your mucus is tacky, sticky, slippery, and wet. Note changes in color and smell in addition to texture. Note whether the mucus is cloudy or clear. Keep as thorough a record as possible, especially in the first few months when you’re still getting used to this method. Breastfeeding, infections, certain drugs, and other circumstances can affect the cervical mucus, so be sure to note these factors as well. The day of ovulation is usually the day when cervical mucus is most wet and slippery. In the days that follow that peak, especially when the cervix is dry again, fertility is at its lowest.

Article in English: Chain one, then work one single crochet into each stitch of the last skirt body round. At the end of the round, slip stitch the last stitch of this round to the chain-one. Note that these instructions use the same yarn for both the skirt and the edging. For an easy variation, you could fasten off the yarn at the end of the skirt body and join a second color using a slip stitch. After joining the new color, follow this steps and all the others as instructed. Chain one, then single crochet once into the first stitch of the previous round. Work four chain stitches. After the fourth chain, work one slip stitch into the first chain. This creates one bump or picot. For a smaller picot, only work three chains. For a larger picot, work five chains. Work one single crochet into each of the next four stitches. Assuming you had 128 (small), 136 (medium), 144 (large), or 152 (extra-large) stitches at the end of your skirt body, you'll need to work one picot into every four stitches. If your final skirt body stitch count varied, change the edging pattern so that the picots will be spaced evenly apart around the bottom of the skirt. As before, work four chain stitches, then slip stitch into the first of these chains. If you used a different number of chains in your first picot, continue using that same number for this picot and each one that follows. Single crochet once into each stitch. Work one picot into every four stitch. Continue this pattern until you reach the end of the round. At the end of the round, slip stitch the last single crochet together with the first. Cut the yarn, leaving a 4-inch (10-cm) tail. Pull this tail through the loop on your hook to tie off the yarn. Weave the remaining excess into the underside of the skirt. Slide a ribbon through the button holes in the waistband of the skirt. Use this ribbon to tie the skirt on when worn.  To prevent the ribbon from fraying, clip the ends into a "v" shape and/or apply seam sealant to the ends. Alternatively, slide a belt through the button holes instead of...

Article in English: Chairs are a great option because their backs provide a high fort ceiling. Position the rows in front of a sofa, bed, or wall if you want the fort to be enclosed on the back side. Space the rows of chairs about 4 to 6 ft (1.2 to 1.8 m) apart depending on the size of your blanket.  If you don’t have chairs to support your fort, see what other sturdy items are in the room. Laundry hampers, ottomans, and boxes can serve as fort building materials. Place the items side-by-side if you need to use multiple pieces to create the fort.  You can use furniture of different heights to create high and low places in the fort, which makes it extra fun to crawl around inside. Make sure to choose furniture items that are tall enough so you will be able to crawl or sit under the blankets in the fort. Fold a comforter in half and lay it down or layer a few blankets to add cushioning to the bottom the fort. Then, place several cushions or pillows around the edges of the fort.  You can also place extra blankets or sleeping bags in the fort to cover yourself up. If the ceiling of your fort is high enough, you could even place a few low chairs or stools in the fort, such as bean bag chairs or ottomans. Drape a large sheet or blanket over the top of the fort so that it goes over the edges of the furniture. Pull the blanket or sheet taut so that it is not drooping down in the center of the fort’s ceiling.  Layer more than 1 sheet or blanket over the furniture to provide a darker environment inside of the fort. Use a light-colored sheets to allow some light into the inside of the fort, or use a dark-colored sheet or blanket to make it darker in the fort. The edges of the blanket will eventually slip off the furniture if you do not weigh them down. Grab a few books or other heavy objects and place them on the edges of the blanket. Clothes pins may be enough to secure the edges of a sheet on some types of furniture.

For example, allow junior employees to work on committees alongside senior employees.  If you don’t allow your staff to grow, they may seek other opportunities. Letting employees try new things can lead to innovation. You can also use it as a strategy to increase the number of people on your staff who are able to complete certain tasks. It’s normal for people to hit roadblocks, especially if you’re assigning tasks that stretch your employees. If an employee seems to have hit a barrier that they can’t cross, work with them to get the job done. Don’t take over for your employee. Instead, provide them with assistance, whether it’s from you or another employee who can mentor them. You can provide training sessions, guest speakers, or training videos. If you have the resources, you could even send your employees to a conference or seminar. Monitor your employees to see if they are struggling to meet their work demands, especially if you work in a rapidly changing industry. Delegating helps you get more work done and creates a well-trained workforce. Once a task has been assigned, trust that employee to complete it without you hovering over them.  For example, allow problems to work their way up a hierarchical chain before they reach you. This will empower your employees to make more of the day-to-day decisions. Stepping in to help an employee who truly needs direction is not the same as micromanaging. Good bosses remember that their employees aren’t just cogs in a machine. They have goals, too. Know what your employees are working toward, and help them get there by assigning tasks and trainings that best suit those goals while also supporting your organization. Invest in your employees, and they’ll invest in you. Supporting your employee’s goals can help you retain your best employees rather than see them walk away to another company.

Summary in Russian:

Ставьте задачи, которые будут давать простор вашим подчиненным и помогут им развиваться. Помогайте своим подчиненным, когда им сложно справиться с задачей. Обеспечьте своих подчиненных необходимым обучением. Делегируйте ответственность, чтобы избежать микроменеджмента (контролирования каждого шага). Поддерживайте карьерные цели своих подчиненных.


Article in English: Challenge yourself to look at others and appreciate the things they can do and, more generally, to appreciate people for who they are. Understand that everybody is different and relish the chance you have to experience different people. You will still have your personal tastes, your likes and dislikes, but train yourself to separate your opinions from your fears and you will appreciate others more - you will be more humble as well. Being able to appreciate the talents and qualities of other people can also make you recognize qualities that you want to improve or attain within yourself. While competition can be healthy and stimulating, it's nearly impossible to be humble when we're constantly striving to be the "best" or trying to be better than others.  Instead, try looking at yourself more. Remember, the ultimate goal isn't to be better than anyone else, it's to be better than the person you used to be. When you focus your energy on improving yourself instead of comparing you to everyone else, you'll find that it is much easier to make yourself better since you don't have to worry about whether or not you're better or worse than anyone. Every individual is unique. Appreciate people for who they are as human beings, not for their skills and appearance in relation to yours. Although it is ultimately up to you to decide if you were right or wrong, it is a whole different thing to acknowledge that you make mistakes and that you're not always right. Somewhat more difficult however, is the ability to acknowledge that in many cases other people — even people who disagree with you — may be right. Deferring to your spouse's wishes, to a law you don't agree with, or even, sometimes, to your child's opinion takes your recognition of your limitations to a different level. Instead of simply saying you are humble and as a person you will make mistakes, you should also concentrate on living with that mindset - being humble is a way of life, not a one-time action. This is another way of appreciating others. Contemplate...

Summary in Russian:

Цените таланты и качества окружающих. Прекратите сравнивать себя с окружающими. Не бойтесь считаться с суждением окружающих. Ищите вдохновение в литературе. Поддерживайте способность учиться. Помогайте окружающим. Идите последним. Будьте любезны с окружающими. Извиняйтесь. Больше слушайте, чем говорите.


Article in English: Challenge yourself to talk to at least a couple new people every day. It can be tough to approach new people at school or work, especially if you’re naturally shy. Try to relax, remind yourself that everyone gets nervous, and take a step out of your comfort zone.  For example, instead of eating lunch alone, look for someone you’ve never met and say, “Hey there! Is this seat taken?” Later on, they’ll probably notice you when you pass them in the hallway and say hello. If you’re nervous, remember that everyone has insecurities and gets shy, even if they seem totally confident on the outside. When you meet someone or have a conversation, smile naturally and look them in the eye. Try not to fake a smile and, if you have to, think of something that cracks you up without fail. When making eye contact, don’t stare without blinking, but look at the person directly to show you’re paying attention to them. Whether you’re having lunch with someone new or at a work meeting, try to think of thoughtful questions that show you’re engaged in the moment. When the person responds, try to pay attention to them instead of just thinking of something interesting to say. For example, if you’re at a new school, ask the person sitting next to you, “What do you do for fun? Are you in any clubs or do you play a sport?” Instead of asking another unrelated question after they respond, say something like, “Oh cool! I’ve never played hockey, but it’s fun to watch. Do lots of people go to games and show school spirit?” Once they respond, try mentioning an activity that you are interested in to build the conversation. From your music taste to snowboarding, an interest or hobby can make you more noticeable. However, you don't want to just adopt the interests of your crush or a popular person to get them to notice you.  Figure out what you enjoy and do it. If you love a music genre, listen to as many tracks and artists as you can and learn about its evolution. Developing an interest or hobby can help you spark conversations and get noticed by...

Summary in Russian:

Ежедневно начинайте разговоры с новыми людьми. Улыбайтесь и поддерживайте зрительный контакт. Задавайте вдумчивые вопросы, но не устраивайте допрос. Развивайте свои интересы и хобби. Запишитесь в клубы и секции. Не отказывайтесь от приглашений.


Article in English: Challenge yourself. Look for ways to step outside of your comfort zone by taking tiny actions. Once you've made stepping out of your comfort zone into a daily routine, it'll be much easier to handle bigger challenges. For example, you could start up a conversation with a stranger at the grocery store, listen to a new genre of music on your drive to work, or try a different flavored coffee in the morning. If you're stuck in a rut, break the pattern! Look for spots in your life that feel repetitive or monotonous. Target these as opportunities to step outside your comfort zone. For example, if you always order vanilla ice cream, go for caramel next time. Change the way you view your day-to-day life. Look at each day at a chance for you to learn something new. Remember that this can only happen if you're stepping outside your comfort zone. You can do this by always making an effort to find ways to grow. Start a book you've been meaning to read. Buy a different newspaper than the one you always read. Take a different route to get to work. You never know what you'll learn about the world when you explore different sides of it!

Каждый день делайте что-то незначительное, что вам не свойственно. Измените привычки для разнообразия. Каждый день чему-нибудь учитесь.


Article in English: Challenges are parts of the story guests figure out along the way. If your guests are new to escape rooms, stick to only 3 or 4 challenges. If you think they would like a more difficult escape room, think of 5 or more challenges.  Challenges for a zombie escape room could be to figure out who the first person was to become infected, what the cure for the zombies is, and finding the location of the cure. For a futuristic theme, you could require the players to determine what year they are in, how they got there, and how to get back to the present. If you're creating an escape room for more than 6 people, consider breaking them into two teams, or setting up challenges that can be solved simultaneously. That way, everyone who is participating will be entertained. Make sure each challenge is solvable in the amount of time you're giving the players. Once they solve the challenge or puzzle, it should then lead them on to answer or unlock something.  For example, if the challenge is to unlock a door, you could choose to have the players decrypt messages, open a combination lock, or search for items in odd places in order to find the key. If the players have to decode a message sent by villain, they may need to find written clues in books, newspapers, and pictures. Purchase pad locks, bike locks, or a small safe. Create a puzzle where the answer is the combination to open the lock. Once the lock is opened, make sure you provide the next clue.  For example, you could hide the combination of the lock under a book. For a tricky challenge, put the key to the lock in a a separate box they have to unlock first. Write a code on the bottom of objects in the room that help players opening a lock or provide more information.  You could place several dice through the room with numbers missing. The players would then try piecing together the missing numbers to open a lock. Open a newspaper and underline certain words to make a sentence the players must piece together. Give players a list or sentence of words to have them match...

Article in English: Chamomile is a mild herbal remedy that can works as an anti-inflammatory. If your stomach lining is upset by the imbalance of bacteria as a result of your medication, chamomile tea can help soothe your stomach.  Bring water to a boil, then pour over a chamomile tea bag. Cover your teacup or your pot, and allow your tea to steep for 15 to 20 minutes. The longer your tea steeps, the stronger it will be. Add a teaspoon of honey or other sweetener if you like, but the tea itself is quite sweet without additional sweetener. Placing a hot water bottle or electric heating pad may help your stomach relax, and feel better. If your pain is due to cramps caused by antibiotics, the feeling of warmth against your skin may help you relax and feel better.  If you don't have a hot pack, try filling a clean cloth container (a sock will work) with dried pinto beans or rice. Make sure the container is closed (you can tie it closed, or use a clothespin) and put it in the microwave for 30 seconds (or until the ingredients are warm to the touch). Don't let let the hot pack get too hot. You want it to feel warm against your skin. Find a comfortable place to lie down, where you can balance the hot pack against your stomach. Leave it in place for at least 15 minutes. You may repeat as often as you'd like to. Rice water is water that is left over after cooking rice. Drinking rice water helps soothe the stomach by making a sort of soothing barrier over the lining of your stomach.  Make your own rice water by cooking 1/2 cup of rice (plain white rice is fine) with twice the amount of water required - in this case, 1/2 cup of rice should be cooked with 2 cups of water. Bring the rice-water mix to a boil, then turn it down and allow it to simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Pour rice and water through a sieve, reserving the rice for a bland meal. Catch the rice water in a bowl or kitchen pot. Fill a drinking glass with the rice water, and enjoy the rice water warm. You can add a spoonful of honey if you'd like. Ginger...

Article in English: Chamomile tea is a great way to naturally lighten your hair, and it will cause no damage to your hair.  Steep chamomile tea for 30 minutes in a glass or ceramic pot. Let the tea cool to a lukewarm temperature. Wash your hair as you normally would, and use the lukewarm chamomile tea as a final rinse. Catch the used tea liquid in a bowl and rinse again with this. Let your hair dry in the sun. You will need to do this weekly--or even more frequently--to keep your highlights fresh. Peroxide is the bleaching agent that makes honey and cinnamon so useful for lightening hair. You can use hydrogen peroxide straight from the bottle, but it is very strong, and you will need to be careful not to damage your hair. Read this article for more information: How to Bleach Your Hair with Hydrogen Peroxide. The recent trend of ‘no-poo’ or washing your hair without shampoo has led people to the discovery that vinegar works to lighten hair. When you hop in the shower, rinse through your hair with apple cider vinegar. Doing this on a regular basis will slowly lighten your hair over time. Similar to vinegar, baking soda is a ‘no-poo’ alternative to chemical-filled shampoos that also lightens hair color. When you go to shower, sprinkle your hair with baking soda and rub it deep into the roots. The paste that develops should bleach your hair naturally

Article in English: Champagne is ideally served between 44.6 and 57.2 F (7 to 14 C). Fill a wine or metal bucket halfway with a half-and-half ice and water mixture. Gently place the bottle into the bucket, and finish filling the bucket with more ice and water. Make sure to leave the top third of the bottle exposed. Whether you plan on finishing the bottle immediately or not, keeping it cold is one of the most important factors to preserving its flavor and fizz. In fact, if you plan to consume your open bottle within 24 hours, you can simply refrigerate it, uncovered, for the duration. Not only can freezing the wine destroy its flavor, but a bottle can also explode if it's left too long.

Summary in Russian:

Охладите шампанское льдом. Храните шампанское в холодильнике. Не кладите шампанское в морозилку.


Article in English: Champions identify the gifts that they've been given and seek to develop them into expertise. Competitive skill, natural athletic ability, and other talents are the seed from which championships grow, but they need to be watered with intelligent focus and hard training. You can't hop straight into the NBA or get hired on as a CEO for a tech company without identifying your talents and training to improve them. An athlete who is not gifted with blazing speed can make up for it by increasing their agility, strength, jumping ability, or strategy, but it's important to be honest. If you're an intelligent soccer player, you won't develop an attachment for playing striker if your shot is inaccurate, but your defending skills are top-notch. Explore lots of competitive and non-competitive fields to see where you might be great. Diversify your talents and find your expertise.  Maybe you've idolized LeBron James since childhood and can't get it out of your head to be a professional basketball champion, just like him. If you can't shoot your way out of a cardboard box and stumble on your own feet when you try to shoot a lay-up, that might be hard. But maybe you're built like Dick Butkus, or you can do the quadratic formula in your head–maybe you were destined for greatness in some other field. Play lots of different sports, even if you're worried you won't be good. If you love football, try out volleyball to develop hand-eye-coordination and see if your skills translate. If you love playing tennis, try out a team sport like soccer to see if you don't enjoy playing a role in a group of champions. Approach every new field of play with the desire to be great at it, with the expectation you will master it. When you're learning how to cook, when you're learning how to drive a manual transmission vehicle, when you're learning to speak German, treat it like you're walking onto the field of competition and that you'll come out champion. If you've narrowed in on a set of skills and natural abilities, what is your ultimate goal?...

Article in English: Chances are good that the grammar rules of your target language will be quite different from that of your native language. Spending some time learning how sentences are structured, such as the word order, parts of speech, and subject-verb agreement, will help you in the long run. Words that you would use daily should be the first ones you learn. Try starting with personal pronouns (I, you, she, he, they, etc.) and common nouns (boy, girl, chair, table, city, teacher, restroom, school, airport, restaurant, etc.) before moving on to adjectives (green, thin, fast, beautiful, cold, etc.) or verbs (go, do, take, leave, offer, meet, etc.), which will need to be conjugated. You’ll likely want to figure out how to ask a few simple questions, such as “Where is the restroom/train station/hotel/school?” and “How much does this (coffee, newspaper, train ticket) cost?” You’ll also probably want to learn to say “My name is…” “What is your name?” “How are you doing?” and “I’m doing well/poorly.” Think of a few dozen phrases you want to know and start with those. One word may make you think of another. Try to build mental images or draw pictures based on connections. It doesn’t matter how obscure or silly they may seem if it will help you remember. Repetition is one of the best ways to learn vocabulary. Make flash cards with your vocab words and go through them daily. You can even post the cards around your room or home so that you see them often. You can also use an automated flashcard generator (e.g., lingua.ly).

Article in English: Chances are that if you have to stay up all night, it will require that you study specific information. Finding out exactly what material you need to study can help you formulate a plan to effectively get through the night.  Check your syllabus and carefully read through the instructions or information on the material you need to know. Read your class notes to see if the teacher or professor made any special announcements you should consider when formulating your plan. Make a list of everything you need to cover. Prioritize information that's most important for your exam or assignment and put it at the top of your list.  Consider adding less-relevant topics towards the bottom of your list to cover later in the night. Lecture notes and course readings are an integral part of any class. Having these materials at your fingertips can help you keep your work flow going and, in turn, study more efficiently throughout the night.  Ensure you have your notes, books, as well as extra pens and paper to take notes with. This will keep you from getting up unnecessarily and disrupting your focus. It would be a good idea to have your laptop or tablet handy as well as some snacks and beverages. Dedicate the most time to the most important material you need to study. This can include material that you don't know as well. Place the important stuff earlier in your study session or after breaks. Be as specific as possible. For example, you could write:  8:00pm to 9:00pm: read pages 60-100 of history textbook 9:00 to 9:15pm: break 9:15 to 10:15pm: read pages covering primary documents 4-10 in history sourcebook 10:15 to 10:30pm: break Every person has a different style of learning. Knowing how you study best can help you tackle getting through the night in the most effective way. It may also help you retain information better.  Think about past all-nighter or the conditions under which you’ve studied most easily. What methods or techniques did you use? For example, if you work best in complete silence, study at home or in a...

Article in English: Chances are that most sites that list available proxies are also blocked at your school. Building a list at home will help you find more sites to use. A proxy site is a site that fetches the blocked website for you, and displays it through the proxy site. This means that the filter software never actually sees you going to the blocked site (YouTube), just the proxy site. Your search result should list quite a few sites that index available proxy sites. Your school's network administrators actively block new proxy websites as they appear, meaning that a large number of the sites you find will already not work. Grab sites from multiple different proxy lists. You just need to be able to access your list from the school's computer. If it is blocked, move on to the next site until you find one that is unblocked. youtube.com into the URL field. Click the button to open the site. A proxy will increase the time it takes for sites to load since the traffic has to be routed through the proxy server. This means videos will take longer than normal to play. Also, make sure that your proxy doesn't block scripts, or else YouTube won't load.

Article in English: Chances are that you’ll want or need to end a conversation with a person or people you don’t know. Make up a common excuse to get you out of the conversation and leave the experience positive. You might tell the others that you are:  Going to grab another drink or some more food. Making an important phone call. Heading to the restroom. Getting some fresh air. If something or someone interrupts your conversation, take it as end your interaction. This can help you find another person or group with whom to socialize or bring into the conversation.  Recognize natural pauses in the conversation. If there are a lot of “ums” and “ahs,” this may be your cue to excuse yourself. You could say “oh, I just realized how late it is” after looking at a clock or your watch or “I’ve really enjoyed talking, but I need to excuse myself and go to the restroom.” Look for a common item in the room that jogs your memory. For example, say “wow, I didn’t realize that the buffet is closing down so early. I need to grab something to eat because I haven’t had dinner yet,” after glancing towards the food. See if there is anyone else with whom you’ve chatted at the event and mention the person to your conversation partner. For example, you could say “You know, I was just talking to that gentleman Tom about this same thing. Maybe we could make our way in that direction and get his views. He had a really interesting take on the matter.” Frame your exit as beneficial to your conversation mate or mates. You can make comments such as “I don’t want to monopolize your time” to signal that you’re ready to finish the conversation. Excuse yourself with phrases such as “I’m sure don’t want me to monopolize your time with all of these interesting people around. I’ll let you go in the hope that we’ll see each other again soon.” Ask the person or group for a way to stay in contact or follow up on the conversation. This can naturally cue them that you need to excuse yourself and that the chat is over.  Ask the person for their email address or phone...
