Article in English: Very few people can be friends with everyone -- and if that one person can be you, all feet will be wishing they were in your shoes. They'll wonder how you do it, how everyone likes you, and how you have time to know everyone. So don't write other people off just because they're "uncool"; you don't have to be best friends, you just want everyone knowing your name and liking you. It's so easy to forget that everyone has battles they're fighting. We all see other people and think, "Wow. They're so put together!" when on the inside, they could be crumbling. Take advantage of this by always being bright and positive with everyone. When you're constantly happy, funny, and friendly, you'll give off that "perfect" vibe almost effortlessly. There are tons of news stories lately about how "Facebook makes us sad" because we look at other people's lives and want them. Use this to your advantage! Post photos of you having fun with your friends, tweet funny comments and talk about all the awesome things you're doing. It's surprisingly easy to make your life seem awesome online, even if you spend your weekends on your couch with a bowl of cheese popcorn and your three cats. As long as you're a bit selective and aren't obnoxious about it (OMG LOOK AT THIS PHOTO OF ME AND TAYLOR SWIFT AHHHHH!!!!!!!), people will wonder if you're just absolutely perfect and be just ripe with envy. Which won't be hard, because you know everyone. Being "in the know" makes you look viable, up-to-date, and like you're at the center of everything. Which maybe you are! It'll give you interesting things to talk about and an edge on every situation, too. And when it comes to knowing the drama, it's no big deal. Eliza just dumped Jacob for John? Yeah, you know. You knew two weeks ago. It's just not something you mentioned because you don't talk about other people's business. Besides, what's it matter? Eliza goes through boyfriends like underwear. Wink, wave, smile, blow kisses, and get to being confident. There's something about a person who's...

Article in English: Very generally speaking, the health problems from hypertension are the result of two major steps, the narrowing and stiffening of the vessels, which leads to decreased blood flow to different organs and body parts. This causes the heart to work harder to pump blood, which can damage the heart over time. When pressure in vessels is high, there are increased stresses applied to the vessel wall by the blood flowing through it. As a result of this, the muscle in the wall thickens and the lining of the vessel becomes injured, which allows fatty plaques to develop.  Both of these events cause narrowing and stiffness, which results in decreased blood flow. When a body part has decreased blood flow, it does not receive the oxygen and nutrients it needs, and the tissue can get injured and even die. This difficulty in getting the blood to certain areas of the body can be measured with your blood pressure.  Other common complications of hypertension include heart failure, kidney problems, and eye problems. You need to take your blood pressure to see if it is high. To know if it is, you need to understand how to read blood pressure numbers. Blood pressure consists of two measurements, the systolic blood pressure (SBP), which is the blood pressure while your heart is beating. This number goes above the diastolic blood pressure (DBP), which is the blood pressure while your heart is resting between beats. Normal SBP is below 120, and normal DBP is below 80. This means for most people that you would want your blood pressure lower than 120/80. A blood pressures of 120 to 139 / 80 to 89 is considered prehypertension. Stage 1 Hypertension is 140 to 159 / 90 to 99 and Stage 2 Hypertension is 160 or higher / 100 or higher. Blood pressure varies regularly throughout the day. It is lower when you sleep and rest, and rises if you are excited, nervous, or active. For this reason, diagnosis of abnormal blood pressure is made only when elevated blood pressure is seen during at least three doctor’s visits, spaced over a period of weeks...

Article in English: Very heavy menstrual flows can be an indication of other problems. It may even lead to its own problems, such as anemia and lethargy. While you track your cycle, keep an eye on what days your flow is heavy, normal, and light. In most cases, you don’t need to measure the quantity of blood. Instead, estimate by looking at what type of menstrual products you are using (super tampons, regular pads, etc.) and how often you need to change out those products.  If, for example, you have to change a super tampon every hour, you may have an irregularly heavy flow. Keep in mind that most women will have heavier days and lighter days. It is normal to have different levels of flow on different days. The severity of flow varies greatly from person to person. A heavier or lighter cycle isn’t inherently problematic. Instead, watch for very heavy cycles or completely skipped periods, which may be an indicator of another medical issue. PMS and PMDD can do anything from make you a little cranky to make it difficult to function. Knowing when these symptoms are most likely to hit can help you better plan and cope. Take note of any extreme mood changes, changes in energy level and appetite, and physical symptoms such as headaches, cramps, and breast tenderness in the days leading up to and during your cycle.  If your symptoms are extreme enough that they make daily functioning difficult, contact your doctor. They may be able to help you find a solution or proper management program. If you notice symptoms suddenly happening that you have never experienced before, such as severe lethargy, you may also want to contact your doctor. In some cases, these could be an indicator of a larger medical issue. Different people naturally have different cycles. Your cycle isn’t problematic just because it doesn’t follow the same pattern as someone else. Sudden or major changes to your cycle, though, are often an indicator of larger medical problems. Contact your doctor or OB-GYN if your period suddenly gets very heavy or disappears completely. ...

Article in English: Very large fish will require a substantial fight to land, and you may find it necessary to adjust your drag to wear it down. Try to keep the fish steered away from logs, brush, or other snags to keep him from becoming tangled, where you will almost certainly lose him. Bring it in a bit at a time, letting the gar wear itself out. Don't expend more energy than necessary bringing it in quickly. Never try to force even a smaller gar into the boat while it still has fight left in it. The alligator gar has been known to bite aggressively in self-defense.  For very large gar, it may be best to gill gaff them, so that the head (and teeth) can be steered away from occupants of the boat before bringing it aboard. A gill gaff is basically a pole with a sharp hook on the end, for snaring large fish beside the boat. Generally, a partner will hook the fish through the gills and under the backbone, probably wounding the fish mortally. If you want to hook a gar and release it, don't do this. Generally, fishermen don't recommend fishing for gar unless you intend to kill them. Bringing a live gar into the boat, or onto the shore, is extremely dangerous. Removing a treble hook from a mouth full of needle-like teeth requires a very long-nosed pair of pliers. Make sure the fish is beyond exhausted, and that you're wearing protective arm and hand gear if you attempt this.  Cutting the line will leave the treble hook embedded in the fish's mouth, leaving it little chance of survival. The alligator gar and many other freshwater predators are increasingly endangered. The best preservation policy with these fish is catch and release, so at least be aware of the difficulties of doing so if you want to hunt gar responsibly. Many southerners will tell you the preferred method of fishing for alligator gars is actually bow fishing, using a compound hunting bow and fishing arrows. Bow-fishing is much more exciting to many, as it combines fishing and hunting. Some fishermen will likewise bring along a .22 to finish off the gar when it gets...

Article in English: Very little can help you escape to your mind than picking up a pen and notebook to write out your deepest thoughts. Journaling can help you find patterns in your thoughts, uncover and understand hidden desires, and cope with life's stressors.  Start setting aside 20 to 30 minutes each day to write. You can simply talk about what happened that day or write on a theme such as personal growth. It's up to you. Go on an adventure inside your head by making something with your hands. Paint. Draw. Sculpt. Build. Cook. Art has the power to lower your rates of stress and anxiety, enhance well-being, and boost immunity. Whether you have something you want to express, or merely want to pass the time, do it with art. Research shows that art therapy is beneficial in increasing quality of life, better health, and generating healthy coping. Another way to escape to your mind is by expressing yourself through dance. Dancing has both physical and mental health benefits, ranging from a better mood to a stronger heart. You can turn on music or let your surroundings provide the beat. Don't worry about following specific choreography – just move your body according to your thoughts and feelings. An expressive and potentially cathartic way to escape into your mind is through storytelling. And, no, this isn't just for kids. Gather a small audience of friends and share a cultural tale passed along through generations, make up your own fictional account, or give testimony of a personal experience. Not interested in public storytelling? Write down your story - or type it up and publish it!

Article in English: Very often when you make a mixtape for a parent or other older relative, it is intended to be a way for them to sample new music. If you're going to show them a lot of new music, spend some time trying to guess whether or not they'll actually enjoy listening to any of it first. Remember, this person has very different musical tastes than you do. For this kind of mixtape, pick the catchiest and most accessible songs you can think of within the confines of whatever type of music you're planning to give away. Use your past as a guide. If you can't figure out which tracks those might be, think back to the first time you heard the albums in question. What tracks immediately caught your attention? Even if you've moved on from them now, those are the tracks most likely to make a good impression on people who haven't heard the music before.

Article in English: Very small scratches that need to be touched up quickly can actually be repaired using only a walnut or pecan. Begin by breaking the meat of the nut open so that the nut's oils are exposed. Gently rub the nut back and forth along the scratch in the wood surface. The oils in the nut will naturally fill in and darken the scratched area, lending the exposed raw wood a finished look. This technique works well for quickly minimizing the appearance of small surface imperfections.

Article in English: Very young, unripe pineapples may be toxic. Eating them can irritate your throat and have a severe laxative effect. That said, most pineapples sold commercially should be at least partially ripe, even if they look green. Even ripe pineapple can hurt your mouth or cause it to bleed. The techniques below will help prevent this as well. . Cut off the stem and crown of the pineapple, then stand the rest flat on a cutting board. Cut off the rind and eyes, then slice into rounds or chunks. . Grilling will caramelize the sugars in the pineapple, adding flavor to a bland, partially unripe fruit. The heat will also neutralize bromelain, the enzyme that can cause pain and bleeding in your mouth. eat pineapple slices in the oven. This has the same results as grilling: a delicious, sweet pineapple. If the pineapple is quite tart and unripe, sprinkle brown sugar over it before heating. Although this won't caramelize the sugar, simmering will neutralize all of the bromelain. Try this if raw pineapple hurts your mouth:  Add pineapple chunks to a saucepan along with all juice collected while cutting. Add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer and heat for 10 minutes. Drain and let cool. If your pineapple doesn't taste sweet, sprinkle the chunks or rounds with sugar. Eat right away, or store covered in the fridge.

Article in English: Veterinarians and their staff generally dislike it when people bring cats into their offices without carriers. Understand you'll be met with some resistance if you make the decision to take your cat in without a crate.  Bringing your cat in without a carrier, especially if he's not secured in something like a sport's bag, puts a lot of unnecessary pressure on the staff. Workers in the waiting room have to take extra precautions to make sure your pet is safe and is not injured by dogs or other animals. Also be aware the clinic cannot guarantee your cat's safety when not in a box. For example, a dog off lead may enter the waiting area who likes to chase cats, and bounds at your cat, who may then get injured.  Some vets may actually require cats to be in a carrier. You might want to call ahead and ask first before bringing your cat in without one. Carriers are recommended by veterinarians for a reason. Understand a carrier has several safety features important for your cat.  Carriers ensure a safe car ride by making sure your cat does not roam around the car, causing an accident by interfering with your driving.  Cats are likely to run away when they're frightened. If your cat bolts out the car door, he might be difficult to find. Vet's offices are generally in areas where there area  lot of cars. This could prove dangerous for your cat.  Even if your cat is docile, you can't necessarily predict the behavior of other animals. Many dogs are not friendly with cats and your cat is better off secure inside a carrier if a dog gets aggressive. If you're mainly opposed to using a carrier due to worries over stress, there are measures you can take to make a carrier less stressful for your cat.  Do not just take the carrier out when it's time for a vet visit. Leave it open and out in the living room. Cats are den animals and they may actually enjoy sleeping in their carriers from time to time.  Take your cat on short rides in his carrier now and again. A ride around the block in his carrier will make going to the vet...

Article in English: Vibrato is an effect that warbles a note while you play. Vibrato is achieved by bending and unbending your finger as you play on a string. This dynamic is usually marked as “Vibr” underneath the notes that should be played as vibrato. Pizzicato is a technique, usually noted as "pizz" or sometimes spelled out in its entirety, that indicates you should play a note by plucking the violin string with your finger. If there is no obvious “pizz” or “pizzicato” designated, then assume the musical piece should be played as “arco,” or using the bow to play the notes. Pizzicato may also be designated with the Bartok pizzicato symbol, also known as a “snap pizzicato.” This symbol, a circle with a vertical line through the top, will appear above the note to be plucked. This type of pizzicato is given an extra snap by pinching the string with two fingers and snapping it back into the finger board. A tremolo is a style of playing very quick, rapid sounds as the bow draws back and forth across the string. The tremolo is noted with thick, short diagonal lines drawn through the note or the stem of the note. They can be either measured or unmeasured.  One diagonal line means 1/8 note tremolo (measured). Two diagonal lines mean 1/16 note tremolo (measured). Three diagonal lines mean an unmeasured tremolo. Style markings give you an indication of the mood with which to play music. These are typically noted in Italian. Some of the more common words you'll see are:   Con: With  Poco a poco: Little by little  Meno mosso: Less movement  Dolce: Sweetly  Allegro: Quick and lively Dynamics in sheet music indicate how loud or quiet you should play. These are typically indicated below the staff and will change as you progress through the music. Written in Italian, these range from very quiet (pianissimo) to mezzo (medium) to fortissimo (very loud).  Dynamics usually show up as lower-case letters, such as p (piano), mf (mezzo forte), ff (fortissimo) and so on. Crescendos and diminuendos are also used, which indicate that your playing...

Article in English: Vidalia onions are a popular choice based upon their size and flavor. Sweet onions are the most popular, and red sweet onions are very common, too. Any onion, so long as it's large and fresh, will do the trick. In the case of whole onions, symmetrical is best, so one side doesn't naturally rest on its bottom, getting cooked unevenly. Remove any of the loose, dry outer skin that is thin like paper and is peeling. Inspect the next layer of the onion for any shriveling or damage, and remove if necessary. You should be able to tell when you hit the meat of the layers. To make slices, hold the onion at the root end, and place it sideways on the cutting board. Your hand and the root should be horizontal to the board. Cut the onion into thick slices, generally half an inch thick (1.3 cm).   To cut into wedges, don't cut all the way to the bottom of the onion. If you do, they'll fall apart. Wedges should be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide, and a good-sized onion will yield 4-6 wedges.  These are just recommendations. You can cut the onion however you like, from thick wedges to whole slices. Just know that the smaller your onions are, the more likely they'll be to fall through the grate – for small onions, you'll need equipment to keep that from happening. Add any seasonings you like, such as salt, pepper, or garlic powder, too. A list of possibilities is discussed above, but olive oil, salt, and pepper is a general standard. Make sure you get both sides! Place the onion slices directly onto the grill surface. Alternatively, use your grill basket or a tent made out of aluminum foil. Allow them to cook for approximately 3-5 minutes or until you can see black grill marks. Larger, thicker onions may take up to 7.  To make a foil tent, simply place a couple of onion slices on a piece of foil. Turn the long sides in, covering the onions, and then roll up the sides, enclosing them in. Skewers are easiest for wedges, if you're worried about them falling apart. Again, just make sure they were soaked in water before use, or they...

Article in English: Video game addiction (internet gaming disorder) is not a formal diagnosis, but it is starting to get more attention.

Article in English: Video is a visual medium, and while voice overs and text are great to get information across they are not incredibly compelling. If you're shooting alone you will not be able to use dialog, actors, or a ton of sound to tell your story. What you have, however, is all the time in the world to set up great shots, capture good video, and work on creating compelling angles. Have the mind of a photographer on every shot. Ask yourself if, on its own, the image is interesting. A storyboard is just the comic book version of your movie. They are invaluable ways to design your film, allowing you to "see" the movie before shooting. It then acts as your guidebook to the film. You can find and print templates online, or simply draw out your basic shots in advance with pen and paper. Improvising for the camera has it's place, of course. But storyboards are a good way to plan where the camera should go. Camera microphones are notoriously bad, and they become useless when the camera is far away from the action. An external microphone will make a huge difference in your production quality, since most audiences notice bad sound before rough video. Make discrete, compelling "scenes" instead of turning the camera on and letting it run while you move around. This ensures that you think about each scene individually and it makes editing much easier. Focus works by sharpening the image at one particularly distance from the camera. If you move around the camera will struggle to keep up, shifting focus or becoming blurry. Put down a small piece of tape that tells you where you need to sit or stand for each take. Films of any lengths are built in the editing booth.The more raw material, or film, that you have to work with the happier you will be, and the easier it will be to make a great movie. Grab different angles of the same shot, run through different lines, or videotape your environment for atmospheric shots. Every extra shot counts. Experiment with shots. Take crazy angles, get weird, abstract shots of everyday objects, and...

Article in English: View everything with a healthy level of skepticism and continually ask questions about what you observe, think, and feel. Instead of jumping straight to the most obvious answer, break any dilemma down further into more questions, answering each one so that you arrive at the most thorough solution.  You should also question every new piece of information you gather before storing it into your mind. Ask yourself why the information is important enough to remember or how it connects to that which you already know. In order to ask important questions, you also need to educate yourself well. Thorough reading comprehension and a solid base of knowledge will help tremendously. Study topics of importance, experiment on matters that catch your curiosity, and keep a journal to track your thought patterns. The more you know, the more likely you are to ask questions that really matter. By human nature, you might be tempted to rule out a possibility if it seems unlikely or improbable. These possibilities must be allowed for, however. Only the impossible—that which cannot be true no matter what—can ever be ruled out completely. Just as you need to throw out old biases when observing a situation, you also need to throw out such biases when analyzing a situation. The things you only feel do not hold as much weight as the things you know or deduce. Intuition has its place, but you need to balance both intuition and logic.  Avoid making any theories before you have all the evidence. If you form a conclusion before you gather and analyze all the facts, you will taint your thought process and have a more difficult time forming an accurate solution. You must learn to twist theories to suit facts and not the other way around. Gather the facts and throw away any ideas or possible theories that do not fit with those facts. Do not make assumptions about possibilities that only exist in theory and not in fact, especially if you are tempted to do so simply to make your previous theory work. Even though Sherlock Holmes is the renowned...

Article in English: Villagers are the key to a great economy, as they gather resources and build buildings. In fact, if for any instant that you are not creating villagers from your town center, then that is valuable time wasted, especially in the Dark Age (your performance of the first two minutes of the game on any civilization can determine whether your economy is superior to other players). This guide should not be used for full game-play! Success in the game is from a strong and well-developed military, but in order to do that, you need a strong economy. Beware of rushers that will invade your civilization in the Feudal Age, early Castle Age, or late Castle Age. If you neglect militaristic development (unless you are in wonder race), you will lose the game.

Article in English: Villages don't spawn in pre-v0.9.0 versions of Minecraft, so update your iPhone's or Android's Minecraft version if it's out-of-date before continuing. As of October 2017, Minecraft PE v1.2.2 is the latest version. Villages spawn under specific circumstances:   Biomes - Villages spawn in Plains (flat, green grass), Savannah (brown grass), Taiga (hilly with green grass), Desert (sand), and Ice Plains (flat, icy). You won't find them in other biomes at all.  Terrain - Villages will usually spawn in dry, flat areas. This means that if you're looking for them in the Taiga biome, you'll need to find a flat section.  Appearance - Villages resemble clusters of buildings surrounded by wood-enclosed farms and populated by non-aggressive people. Select the world in which you want to search for a village. If your game is in creative mode, you'll be able to cover ground much more quickly than if it is in survival mode. This will increase the distance at which you can see objects in-game. Once your game opens, do the following:  Tap the pause button at the top of the screen. Tap Settings  Scroll down on the left side of the screen and tap Video  Scroll down to the "Render Distance" slider on the right side of the screen. Slide the "Render Distance" switch all the way to the right. It can take hours to find a village, so stock up on basic tools, a bed, food, and weapons before you set out. If you happen to have a saddle, you can use it to get a mount and speed up your exploration.

Article in English: Villains are the core of your movie. They provide the scares, the plot, and the unique element of any horror movie, and if the villain doesn't work, your movie won't either. The villain doesn't necessarily have to be a person, of course, but it does need to be scary. Oftentimes, the devil is in the details. The mutant people from The Hills Have Eyes, for example, aren't exactly original, but the radioactive, 1950's southwest landscape made them memorable. Jason from Friday the 13th, is a stock serial killer, except for that hockey mask.  Throughout histories, villains have been used to symbolize real-world fears. Vampires stood in for the horrors of HIV/AIDS in the 90's. The Host used a fish monster to comment on South Korean economics, etc.  Many movies have had success with hordes of villains (zombies, monsters, birds), unseen villains (haunted houses, ghosts), and even a wide-variety of villains (Cabin in the Woods, V/H/S). Villains are not the only way to make a horror movie unique, but you need a good villain or the movie will fail, every time. Horror movies are generally unique because of their villains, settings, and, occasionally, main characters. They are not known for wildly original plots. This should come as a relief, however, as it makes your job much easier. You can, of course, deviate from the following template, but you'll find that 99% of all horror movies follow this structure almost perfectly, even when they seem "different":   Beginning: Open on a scary event. This is usually the villain's first victim-- the murder or event that sets the movie in motion and shows the villain's "style". In Scream, for example, it is Drew Barrymore's babysitter character and boyfriend getting murdered.   The Set-Up: Who are your main characters, and why are they in this "horrible" place? This is when the teens head to the cabin, or the family moves into the creepy old house. This is the first 10-15% of your movie.  The Warning: The first clues that something is wrong begin popping up. Someone might...

Article in English: Vine maple, striped maple, Amur maple, and paperbark maple are all tough to germinate, and require extra attention. This applies to most other species native to Asia, as well as mountain maples and rocky mountain maples. All of the seeds in this category drop in autumn or winter. Left alone in the soil, they can take years to germinate. Many of these species have an extremely hard hull (pericarp). Growers often "scarify" the hull to greatly improve germination rates. You may use any of these methods:  Rub the base of the seed (opposite the wing) against a nail file or sandpaper. Stop as soon as you break through the hull, barely nicking the seed coat underneath. Soak the seeds in household strength hydrogen peroxide for several hours, then rinse well.  Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours. The US Forest Service recommends keeping the seeds at 20–30ºC (68–86ºF) for 30–60 days. These seeds have not been studied as thoroughly as those of other species, so exact guidelines for each species are not available. Transfer the seeds to a plastic, zip-locked bag in the refrigerator, with a small handful of peat moss or other growing material. Check back every couple weeks to look for signs of mold, drying, or sprouting. Rocky mountain seeds (Acer glabrum) usually take the full 180 days to germinate. Other species can take as few as 90, but they are unpredictable. Don't expect every seed to sprout. Germination rates as low as 20% are common for these species. You may start the germinated seeds on an indoor seedling tray, or plant them outside if the last frost has passed. Plant them 0.6 to 2.5cm (¼ to 1 inch) beneath the soil surface. Water occasionally but deeply, not letting the soil stay dry for long. For more specific information, look up your exact maple species.

Article in English: Vinegar can help remove rust from a pan that's very damaged. Make a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. The precise amounts you need depend on how big the piece of cast iron is. Use enough white vinegar and water so you can fully submerge the pan. Mix the white vinegar and water where you want to soak the pan, such as the sink or the bucket. Make sure the entire piece of cast iron is submerged in the mixture. Place the cast iron pan into your sink or bucket. You can let it soak until the rust is removed. How long a pan needs to soak varies. Cast iron should not be soaked for more than eight hours, but depending on the level of rust you may want to remove it sooner. Check the pan every half hour or so. Remove it as soon as the rust has dissolved. If you leave the pan in the vinegar after the rust dissolves, the vinegar will eat away at the cast iron itself. After removing the cast iron from the vinegar, wash it right away. Scrub your pan with mild detergent and soapy water to remove any lingering vinegar residue. Use a gentle scrub brush or sponge. Rough sponges can damage cast iron. Pat the cast iron dry right away with a cloth or paper towel. Then, place it in a warm oven for about half an hour. This should remove any excess water. As soaking the cast iron removes the seasoning, re-season the pan after removing the rust. Rub the cast iron down with an oil like vegetable oil. Then, place the cast iron in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Let it bake for about 45 minutes to an hour.

Article in English: Vinegar contains acetic acid, which effectively kills weeds. Keep in mind that vinegar is non-selective and will kill any living plant it touches, not just weeds. White vinegar can be used alone, or you can add additional ingredients to the vinegar to make an even stronger solution.  Avoid using vinegar on or near your lawn, since it will kill the grass. Vinegar will raise the acidity of your soil. Before planting, test the pH of your soil and adjust it accordingly, if needed. Use horticultural vinegar with 20% acetic acid for increased effectiveness between pavers or on patios. The extra acidity will affect the pH balance of your soil and other plants. Lemon juice contains high levels of citric acid and can be effective when used with the white vinegar. If you want to try it, simply mix the lemon juice in with your 2 c (400 mL) of white distilled vinegar. Dish soap can be a helpful addition to vinegar when you're dealing with weeds that have a waxy coating or a “hairy” surface, like dandelion and crabgrass. The fuzzy exterior blocks the absorption of vinegar, but dish soap will penetrate the outer protective layer of the plant and help the mixture stick to the leaves.  You can use dish soap or dishwasher detergent in liquid or powder form. Dish soap can be used in conjunction with a lemon-vinegar mixture, but a soap and vinegar solution will be very effective. Isopropyl alcohol can be very effective when mixed with white vinegar or even when used alone. You can also use cheap gin to achieve similar results. Simply add the alcohol of your choice to the white vinegar and stir it thoroughly. You can use alcohol, vinegar, and lemon juice together in one mixture, but a solution that strong may cause soil damage. You can use the full-strength solution if your weed problem is severe, but this is typically too strong. A 50/50 mix diluted with water will be very effective on weeds without traumatizing the area where it's used. Full strength solutions may penetrate the soil and kill the roots of plants other than...

Article in English: Vinegar is a good deodorizer for insoles, especially if they have a strong smell. It also kills bacteria and germs. Mix one part white distilled vinegar and one part warm water together in a large bowl or in the sink. Place the insoles in the vinegar and water mixture. Let the insoles soak in the mixture for at least three hours. You can add essential oils like tea tree or pine oil to the mixture if the insoles really smell. Add a few drops of the essential oils to the mixture and let the insoles soak in the mixture. Once the insoles have soaked in the mixture, remove them and rinse them out under running water. Make sure you remove all of the vinegar-water mixture on the insoles. Place the insoles on a towel to dry overnight. You can also dry them by stacking them in a dish rack or by hanging them from a clothesline.

Article in English: Vinegar is a great option if you want to deodorize your carpet. Use white vinegar for this solution, as you do not want to stain the carpet by using colored vinegar. Combine 1 part vinegar with 1 part water. Then, spray it on the carpet and blot the carpet with a clean cloth to remove stains and smelly areas. This solution is a great spot cleaner for any stains on the carpet. A household alternative to professional carpet cleaner is baking soda. Baking soda works well on carpets to remove odor. This is especially handy if you notice the carpet is starting to smell in high traffic areas in your home. Simply sprinkle the baking soda on the carpet and let it sit for a few hours. Then, vacuum it up. This is also a good option for spot cleaning a smelly area on the carpet. Sprinkling baking soda on the spot and vacuuming it up can neutralize the smell. Grated potato may seem like a strange thing to put on your carpet, but it has been shown to reduce odor on carpets. Leave the grated yellow potato on the carpet for several hours. Then, vacuum it up and enjoy a less smelly carpet.  Only use yellow or white potatoes, as colored potatoes can end up staining the carpet. If you have pets or children at home, keep them away from the carpet while the grated potato is on it. Make sure you use the hose attachment on the vacuum when you vacuum up the potato.

Article in English: Vinegar is a mild way you can cleanse your scalp. Start by washing your hair like usual. After you have rinsed out the shampoo, pour a vinegar and water solution onto your scalp. Let the vinegar stay on your scalp for about five minutes. Rinse with cold water. To make the solution, mix one part vinegar with two parts water. Apple cider vinegar can help improve the health of your scalp. It can kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi that lead to dry scalp and dandruff. It can also help remove buildup and cleanse your scalp. Mix ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar with a cup of water. Place it into a spray bottle and spray the mixture over your hair and scalp. Then, massage the mixture into your scalp and leave for three to five minutes. Rinse with warm water and then shampoo as normal. Witch hazel is an astringent that can help remove buildup and residue on your scalp. You can soak a cotton ball in witch hazel and wipe it around your scalp, or you can make a witch hazel rinse with one part witch hazel and two parts water. Leave the rinse on for a few minutes, and then shampoo your hair. When choosing a witch hazel brand, choose one that is alcohol-free. If you have a lot of buildup on your scalp, you may need something a bit stronger. Mix castile soap with a tablespoon of baking soda. Take this mixture and massage it on your scalp. Let it sit for around five minutes. Rinse the mixture with warm water, and follow that with a cold water rinse.

Article in English: Vinegar is a natural ant deterrent. Ants will not travel where vinegar is sprayed, so each day, spray an even layer of your mix over ant scent trails or any place you've seen ants. This will throw the ants off course.  This won't kill the ants, but it may deter them from coming into your home. You can also use soapy water instead of vinegar. Ants are not a fan of cinnamon or coffee, so if you're having an ant problem, grab some of these kitchen basics and dust them in any area ants tend to go. Start with a heaping spoonful, but you can add more if the ants are spread out across a large area.  You can also sprinkle these natural deterrents around any entry points, like your doors and windows. You can also use chili powder, peppermint essential oil, or garlic for other natural alternatives. Borax is a natural mineral known for its cleaning power, but it’s also an effective ant killer. You can either make your own mixture or you can buy it pre-mixed. Either way, pour some of the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper and place it wherever you see the ants traveling frequently. The sugar will attract the ants, but when they eat the sweet mixture, the borax will kill them by breaking down their digestive systems. Every other day, add fresh solution to the parchment paper.  At first, you may see a large swarm of ants around the sugar and borax mixture, but that’s perfectly normal! Just keep replenishing the mixture every other day. This is one of the most effective methods to get rid of ants and it can kill the entire colony.

Article in English: Vinegar is an acid, and baking soda is a base. Thus, if you mix them together, you will get an acid-base reaction. Vinegar is probably the most common way to activate baking soda..  The reaction can turn the baking soda into a powerful cleaning agent. For example, vinegar and baking soda can be used to clean a kitchen sink.  Add ¼ cup of warm tap water and 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) of vinegar into ¼ cup of baking soda to see if the baking soda is still good. If it bubbles, it is. This is called “proofing” the baking soda.  Vinegar will create a powerful fizz when added to baking soda because of the degree of acidity in it. It's the acetic acid in the vinegar that causes the chemical reaction. Lemon or lemon juice will create an alkalizing effect when mixed with baking soda, activating it.  Add a teaspoon of baking soda to a glass of mineral or other water, and add in the juice from half a lemon. Mix thoroughly before drinking. Some recipes call for adding peppermint leaves or a pinch of salt into the lemon and baking soda mixture, in addition to water.  This mixture has purported health benefits. Some people believe it can be used to combat acidosis. The mixture helps the body remove toxins and burn fat. It can be helpful for kidney care.  Drinking lemon juice and baking soda can also improve your digestion and combat acid reflux. It helps to purify your liver and provides some needed nutrients, like vitamin C. Always check with your doctor, though, before using any natural remedies. Although lemon juice is one of the most common acids to add to baking soda, other juices can work too.  Try adding orange juice to baking soda, and you will get bubbles that come from the release of the carbon dioxide. Fruit purees also activate baking soda. Orange juice has more acid in it than most other fruit juices. Other juices that will react to baking soda include grape juice, vegetable and fruit juice blends, and limeade. Ketchup can react with baking soda because it contains vinegar. The acidic reaction will cause fizzing...

Article in English: Vinegar is such a strong smell that ants will often avoid it. Put some in a spray bottle to use around your kitchen. It's perfectly safe. Just clean your counters first. Then, spray them down lightly with vinegar. Let it dry. The smell will soon dissipate.  In fact, spraying vinegar directly on ants may kill them.  Reapply if you see more ants. Diatomaceous earth has been used as a natural deterrent for ants for years. It's non-toxic, so it's safe to use around kids and pets. However, make sure you get the food-safe variety, not the kind used to filter pools. Then just sprinkle it around where you've been seeing ants. One way to help reduce the number of ants is to use very hot water. The boiling water won't destroy the whole colony, but it will kill about two-thirds of it. Try about 3 gallons (11 L) of boiling water for each large anthill you see. Be very careful with this method. You can be burned both by the water and the steam. An old-fashioned deterrent is bay leaves. You can find bay leaves on the spice aisle, and they are usually still whole (though you can buy ground, too). Spread them out on places where you see ants, and often, the ants will not go in that area.

Article in English: Vinegar’s acidic nature helps disinfect and remove stains, and can also remove unpleasant smells, such as mold mildew, and body odor. If your whites have been overtaken by poor smells, vinegar is the best option to remove them. All it takes is between 1 tablespoon and ¼ cup poured directly into the wash basin or detergent reservoir. Do not overdo vinegar use; because vinegar is acidic, too much can cause damage to your clothes over time. Lemon juice is an all-natural bleaching agent. You can use lemon essential oil, pre-squeezed lemon juice, or juice directly from a lemon. If you juice your own lemons, be sure to strain the juice through cheesecloth or a thin strainer to prevent getting lemon residue on your clothes.  If you are using lemon juice, you can place the juice of two lemons in a bowl or tub with one gallon of warm water and allow them to soak for 30-60 minutes. If you are using lemon essential oil, simply place 2-3 drops directly into the wash bin. To remove stains, you can make a paste with baking soda and warm water, then apply this mixture directly to the stain using a toothbrush or clothes brush. Allow the stain to soak in the mixture for 10-15 minutes before running it under warm water. This treatment is gentle enough that it can be done multiple times to get rid of a stubborn stain. However, be sure to thoroughly rinse the clothing item between each soak, as leaving baking soda in place can cause clothes to become brittle. Peroxide is an excellent, safe way to get tough stains out of clothes. Peroxide is particularly useful for removing blood and other dark, hard-to-lift stains. Once you have pretreated a stain, place the stained or discolored item in a tub filled with hot water and peroxide. Peroxide disinfects and cleans, and provides a safer alternative to bleach. Peroxide is used as an alternative to bleach for a reason: it acts as a bleaching agent, not merely a brightening or cleaning agent. Do not use peroxide on clothes you not wish to whiten. Although bleach is useful in disinfecting...

Article in English: Vintage champagne, which comes with years printed on the label, should be served between 54 and 57 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature is best achieved by using an ice bucket. An ice bucket usually has a slightly warmer temperature than you would get in your fridge. Grab a bucket big enough to contain a bottle of champagne. Fill the bucket with ice. Submerge the champagne bottle into the ice, so just the tip of the bottle sticks out. You can use a small thermometer to test the temperature of your ice bucket. You can add more ice to chill the bucket more. You can also add a small amount of water if the bucket needs to cool down. Simply let the champagne bottle sit in the bucket. You can set a timer on your phone or just keep an eye on the clock. After 20 to 30 minutes have passed, you can pop the cork on the champagne bottle. Make sure to aim the tip of the bottle away from any expensive objects before popping the cork. To serve, tilt the bottle at a 45 degree angle, hold the glass steady with your other hand, and fill it three quarters of the way full with champagne.

Article in English: Vinyl seats are the easiest type of seats to clean, since spills and messes usually just wipe off. Spray an all-purpose glass cleaner on the seats and wipe them down with a soft cloth. Work on one seat area at a time so that the glass cleaner doesn’t run down and drip onto the floor. You can also use a mixture of baking soda and water to clean and polish vinyl seats. Make a paste of the two ingredients and rub it over the upholstery, one seat at a time. To finish the job, rinse the seats off with a mild soap and water mixture. Wipe the seats dry with a clean, soft cloth. Oil-based cleaners will harden your vinyl seats, so you should refrain from using these types. On the seat upholstery, there are seams where the upholstery has been sewn together. Dirt and debris can easily gather here and it is often hard to lift this dirt with a vacuum or cloth. Use a toothbrush to get at these areas, scrubbing gently with your cleaner. Remove the floor mats from the car and clean them using the same cleaner that you’ve used on the rest of the upholstery. To clean the mats, make an all-purpose upholstery cleaner by mixing 1 part water with 1 part dishwashing liquid. Spray the mixture onto the mat and brush with a soft-bristled brush. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and use a microfiber cloth to dry the mats. For rubber or vinyl mats, you can also apply liquid wax shoe polish to them. This will help improve their shine and will also make them easier to rinse off and keep clean.

Article in English: Vinyl siding is a good option for homeowners who like the look of siding, but don't want the expense that accompanies cedar and concrete composite products. It is also a favorite for homeowners who don't want the hassle of repainting the outside of their house periodically.  Before you decide to install vinyl siding on your own home, visit some vinyl sided houses and inspect them thoroughly to make sure you like what you see. Ask a local realtor about how installing vinyl siding on your home might affect the value of the house -- although it will have a positive effect in most places, if your house is the only one with vinyl siding in a neighborhood of restored Victorian homes, it could bring the value down. Decide what type of vinyl you want -- vinyl siding comes in textured or smooth, high gloss or low gloss finishes. It also comes in a wide array of colors, some with grain-like patterns which closely resemble real wood. Although installing vinyl siding by yourself might save you a lot of money, you should definitely consider hiring a contractor if you've never installed vinyl siding before.  Installing vinyl siding is an involved process which requires a lot of time and skill. In fact, the quality of the installation can have a huge effect the finished result and even determine how long the siding lasts. Even the highest quality siding will buckle and warp if not installed correctly. If you choose to get a contractor, gather a list of names in your local area and request a price estimate from each of them. Also take the time to inspect some of their previous work and talk to previous clients to make sure they are satisfied with the work done. If you decide to go ahead and complete the project yourself, you will need quite an extensive array of tools and materials. Use the following list as a guideline.  In terms of tools, you will need: a folding ruler, a metal square, a claw hammer, a snap-lock punch, tin snips, a power saw, a chalk line, a  measuring tape, a level, a utility knife, a pliers, a nail slot...

Article in English: Viral illnesses like rubella are usually associated with weakness and the feeling that you do not want to get out of bed. This is how our body tell us that we need more rest and sleep.  During sleep, the immune system releases cytokines. Cytokines are protein molecules that help to fight off inflammation and infection by telling the immune system which specific viral cells it should be attacking.  When you are recovering from rubella (or any viral illness) It is recommended that you get at least 8 to 10 hours sleep a day to allow your body to fight off the infection. Rubella causes fever, which in turn causes your body to sweat more. This results in a loss of fluid, leading to dehydration.  To replace these lost fluids and prevent dehydration, you should aim to drink at least 10 glasses of water per day. If you have difficulty drinking this much fluid, you can also increase your water intake by drinking herbal teas and by eating fruit and veg with a high water content, such as watermelon, tomatoes, celery, beets, grapefruit and melon. One of the major symptoms of rubella is an itchy rash which can be very irritating. You can use calamine lotion (available over-the-counter at most pharmacies) to provide relief for this itchy rash.  Calamine lotion works using a counter-irritant effect. Once applied, it evaporates off the surface off the skin, producing a cooling effect that minimizes the itch. You can apply calamine lotion to the affected skin using a piece of cotton wool. Do this three times a day, or as necessary. Vitamin C boosts the immune system by triggering the production of phagocytes which are cells that kill foreign bodies by ingesting them. This helps your body to fight off the rubella virus more quickly.  Be sure to get your daily those of Vitamin C by eating fruits and vegetables with every major meal. Fruits and vegetables rich in Vitamin C include: Blackberries, blueberries, broccoli, raw green cabbage, cauliflower, cranberries, garlic, grapefruit, kale, lemon, lime, mandarin orange, mango,...

Article in English: Viral infection usually affects people of 30-60 years of age. Viruses that cause infections of the mouth, nose, sinuses, airways and lungs are mostly responsible for this illness. In a viral infection, the organisms reach the inner ear via your bloodstream. This type of infection may go away without treatment.  You will often have a history of common cold or flu about one week before the attack. Runny nose, cough, sore throat are symptoms of common cold and flu. Other viral infections that may cause labyrinthitis less commonly are measles, mumps, herpes and glandular fever. In measles you will have typical skin rash. There will be swelling of face in front of the ear in mumps. In glandular fever you will have fever, sore throat and nodular swelling in different parts of the body. It is less common but more severe. Typically children are the sufferers. Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis are the culprit organisms. This type of infection requires treatment and should be taken more seriously as it could lead to permanent hearing loss. The infection usually spreads from middle ear or meninges (covering of brain) via the bloodstream or through a gap caused by head injury. In some autoimmune diseases, like Granulomatosis with polyangiitis or Cogan’s Syndrome, the body’s immune system erroneously attacks self tissues. There is formation of antibodies that attack labyrinth thinking it as foreign tissue. Some drugs are particularly toxic for the ears such as gentamicin, ASA, diuretics, anticancer drugs etc. They are highly concentrated in the inner ear causing its damage. Some medications such as aspirin, anti-seizure medications, diuretics, and antihypertensive can cause a side effect of inflammation and irritation to the inner ears. Some are considered to be as ototoxic (causing toxic reactions to the ears) causing dizziness and vertigo. This disorder usually occurs adults with the age between in 30 to 50 years. However, bacterial labyrinthitis is also common in children. ...

Article in English: Virgo (along with Taurus and Capricorn) are Earth signs. This means, generally, that they're very stable and resistant to change. Like the Earth! They are sturdy in their ways and know what they want and need. They're usually slow to open -- but once they do, it's permanent. Virgo is a mutable sign, meaning that these characteristics aren't tried-and-true. But if you want to place 'em all in one category, you'll find that they're generally solid people -- grounded, have a foundation upon which they build everything (thought or planning), and at their best when they're balanced. Virgos are often caught up in their heads. Because of this, they can get a little out of touch with reality, resulting in an unconscious tendency toward insecurity. When this time pops up, he may need reassurance. When he's acting inhibited with you, let him know that that's unneeded (not with your words, necessarily). Be overly welcoming. He may need that extra push. Take this and value it. Instead of wishing he were more open and confident, realize that this quality makes him down-to-earth, modest, loyal, and way less of a showy megalomaniac than the sign that precedes him, Leo. This sense of insecurity that flares up on occasion can be a relief! Because he notices every little detail, many people can think of him as a know-it-all. He takes one look at your pie charts and tells you they're 1% off. Not only does he notice it, but he says something about it too. This can be irksome if you don't realize he's just trying to make everything the best it can be. And why shouldn't it be? The good thing about Virgo is that if you know your stuff too, he can take it! He is open to debate and loves talking about things he's learned and experienced. So the next time your Virgo corrects you on something, don't hesitate to say, "No! I did it this way on purpose!" and explain why. Virgo, as described earlier, doesn't jump to anything -- from relationships to conclusions. He needs to plan everything out -- how else would he know if it's perfect and,...

Article in English: Virgo's mind is running, running, running all the time. ALL THE TIME. She's constantly nit-picking at something, including herself. She needs someone who can help calm her down, to be her rock. If you can do this, there will be no way she can let you go.  When you see her thinking, ask her what's going on. If she doesn't open up, don't leave. She may just be feeling the waters or uncomfortable asking for assistance. Let her know you're there if and when she needs you. When you get to know her well, odds are you'll have a grip on at least a few of the reasons she's worried. Try to make her plate less full by picking up the slack. Does she need to run errands? Clean the house? What can you help her with that gives her more time to relax? Because her mind is running all the time, she notices every detail in the book. If something is a bit off, rest assured she'll take note. So when your shirt is a bit wrinkled in the back, she notices. When your spice cabinet isn't organized, she notices. It's not a dealbreaker by any means, but it is something she will remark on in her head. Things may take a bit longer with her because of this. Though Virgo will always be punctual, she probably knows by now to allot more time for specific endeavors. If she's the creative type, she could be devoted to her art for days until its just right. She's a modern-day Goldilocks! Virgos are natural outdoorsy people. If you want to see her grin, get her outside. Take her on a picnic or go hiking. Rent a paddle boat and float on a lake. She's not the type to complain about the weather or need her hair to look perfect at every second. Get her outdoors and give her a memory to cherish forever! Virgo doesn't believe in kissing and telling and wearing her heart on her sleeve all the time. Sure, there will be times when she feels like opening up, but more often than not, assume she wants to stay reserved. Keep the PDAs to minimum -- you'll have time to be affectionate at home. Sometimes Virgo is quiet about her emotions, too. If you want to...

Summary in Russian:

Позвольте ей меньше переживать. Справляйтесь с ее перфекционизмом. Возьмите ее на природу. Знайте, что она может быть довольно скрытной. Держите слово. Компромисс. Будьте верны ей.


Article in English: Virgos are not passionate, ready-to-jump-into-bed creatures. They like to know exactly what they're getting into. The will not get caught up in a whirlwind of romance. So be friends first! Show him that you're the real deal and his interest will spark. The traditional Virgo man needs a woman who is classy. She's smart, can hold her own, and is very mature for her age. She has her act together. She's not one for gossip or trivial small talk just to hear her own voice. Don't try to get him to lust after you (the Virgo man knows that's a dime a dozen); get him to see you as a person worthy of his respect. Don't show him pretty lip gloss, well-timed hair flips, and batting eyelashes. Show him you. Show him a person that's awesome and that knows she's awesome. Be real with him. That's the only way you can truly gain his respect and loyalty.    The Virgo man isn't the most direct, gutsy sign there is, to say the least. You may need to give him some not-so-subtle hints that you're into him. He may need to know it's a sure thing before he takes any action. Can you blame him? No one likes rejection! Virgo is just as responsive to looks as he is to touch. So instead of touching him on the arm like every girl does, give him that look that screams, "Kiss me." You'll have him melting in no time flat.    If there's one thing this guy is, it's a perfectionist. He notices every little detail and expects it. He makes sure his linen closet is arranged by color, size, date purchased, and thread count. He can tell when picture frames aren't exactly centered, when a curry is missing the right amount of spice. This has its ups and downs -- so concentrate on the ups! He's the type of person that will notice if you've gained half a pound. He's the type that will look at your hair and tell you when one strand is out of place. Give him the benefit of the doubt -- he's just trying to make everything perfect. He's also the type of guy who will make sure your time together is just how you want it. That makes up for those nitpicky...

Article in English: Virtually all exfoliating foot peels feature plastic booties that contain all of the ingredients inside so you can easily keep them on your feet for the duration. To use the peel, remove the booties from the box and use a pair of scissors to cut them open where indicated.  The peel booties are always sealed when you purchase them so the ingredients don’t leak out before you use them. It’s best to cut the booties open one at time and place the opened bootie on your foot before opening the next bootie. That way, none of the peel liquid will seep out while you’re trying to secure the booties. After you’ve cut open the booties, slip them over your feet as you would with regular socks. The booties contain adhesive tabs that help secure them closed over your feet, so pull off the tabs and fasten them around your feet. The adhesive tabs usually aren’t that strong, so you may prefer securing them to your skin rather than the plastic material. Your skin has more texture than the plastic, which can make it easier for the adhesive to stick. It is extremely difficult to walk around with the plastic booties on your feet because you can slip easily. To make them more comfortable to wear and easier to move around in the booties, add a pair of regular socks over them on your feet. It’s best to use a tighter pair of socks because they can help keep the acids in the peel in contact with your skin more effectively than the plastic booties will alone. When the booties are fully secured on your feet, leave them on for an hour or as directed by the peel’s instructions. It’s best to stay off your feet while wearing the booties to avoid slips and falls, so you may want to use the hour to relax. If your feet are extremely dry, you may want to leave the booties on for longer than an hour. Wearing the peel for up to two hours may lead to more effective exfoliation.

Article in English: Virtually all external hard drives use a USB cable to connect to your computer, but you may find that your computer doesn't have a traditional rectangular USB port.  Mac computers and some Microsoft computers use oval USB-C ports instead of traditional USB 3.0 ports. Likewise, it's good to know if your external hard drive uses a USB-C cable when your computer only has USB 3.0 ports. If your computer has a USB-C port instead of a USB 3.0 port, you'll need to buy a USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter for your computer. You can find these online or in some tech stores (e.g., Best Buy). This will usually be the USB end of the cable. The USB connector should only fit one way, so don't force it if it doesn't fit; instead, rotate it 180 degrees and try connecting it again. If you're using an adapter, first connect the end of the adapter that fits in your computer to your computer, then plug the end of the external hard drive's cable into the free end of the adapter. Depending on the external hard drive, the cable may already be attached; if not, attach the free end of the cable to the port into which it fits on the external hard drive. if necessary. Depending on both the external hard drive and your computer's operating system, you may not be able to use your drive until you change its format to work with your computer.  Both Windows and Mac users can select exFAT as the file system when formatting the drive. This is ideal if you want to use your hard drive with both Windows and Mac computers. Formatting an external hard drive will erase everything on it.

Article in English: Viscose is a fairly fragile fiber and also one that is very vulnerable to bleeding dye. Because of this, it's easy to damage viscose rugs or cause them to bleed by simply trying to clean them. If your viscose rug has sentimental value, it may be a better idea to have the rug professionally dry-cleaned than to risk irreversible damage or dye-bleeding by cleaning it yourself. The goal of cleaning a viscose rug is essentially to get the rug as clean as possible while keeping it as dry as possible. Thus, before using any liquid detergents, it's a wise idea to try to clean your rug with methods that don't require getting it wet before trying to clean it with methods that do. Take your rug outside and shake it firmly to remove any loose dirt or dust. You may also try beating the rug against a railing or pole for added power. Next, use a vacuum to remove any ground-in dirt or sediment. Run the vacuum head over the rug several times both with and against the grain, paying extra attention to any extra-dirty spots. If you can, use a head attachment that doesn't have mechanical brushes. Viscose is fairly fragile and the rough action of mechanical brushes can easily cause it to tear. If your rug is still dirty, you may need to carefully wash it. Place the rug on a mounting board or secure it to a table you don't mind getting dirty before cleaning. Washing viscose carpeting requires some scrubbing, so you won't want the carpet to slip around on the floor while you scrub it and you definitely don't want it to bleed dye into the floor or any nearby carpeting. Heat water to a lukewarm temperature and combine with a few drops of soap or carpet detergent to create a cleaning solution. Use a soft-bristled brush (like a window-washing brush) to scrub this solution into problem areas of the rug. Avoid hard-bristled brushes or mechanical brushes, as these can easily tear the fragile viscose fibers. Be conservative with your cleaning fluid - the less moisture you use, the lower the chance of dye bleeding. It's wise to test your...

Article in English: Vision problems are primarily caused by light not focusing properly in the eye. Eyeglasses help redirect the light to focus properly onto the retina. Contacts are smaller lenses that are meant to wear directly on the eye. They float on the surface of the cornea.  There are many options you can choose from, for example some contacts are daily wear (one time use), others are designed to last longer. Some contacts come in different colors and are designed for specific types of eyes. Consult your healthcare provider for the appropriate selection to meet your needs. While glasses and contacts are the more traditional method for correcting vision, the surgical method is gaining in popularity as well. There are SEVERAL different type of surgeries for the eye. However the two most common are LASIK and PRK.  In some cases surgery is suggested because contacts and eyeglasses are not effective enough to improve vision. In other cases corrective surgery is suggested as an option to wearing long term glasses or contacts. LASIK is formally known as laser in-situ keratomileusis. This surgery is used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. This surgery replaces the need to have contacts or eyeglasses.  The FDA has approved LASIK eye surgery to be done on patients 18 years or older with an eye prescription of at least one year. Despite this, most physicians will recommend waiting until the mid-20’s because they eye are still changing.  PRK is formally referred to as photorefractive keratectomy. It is similar to Lasik in that it also treats nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The age requirement for PRK is the same as LASIK. For most common eye conditions, nearsightedness, farsightedness, presbyopia and astigmatism, medication is not used. For more serious problems your healthcare provider may prescribe a medication usually in the form of eye drops or pills. If you need further treatment seek your healthcare provider for more information.

Article in English: Visit a garden-supply retailer or website. Find out which breed of mantis you’d like to keep as an indoor pet and/or introduce to your yard. Expect anywhere from 50 to 200 babies, or “nymphs,” to hatch from a single egg. Since mantises will not survive winter weather, wait for spring or summer to hatch them, once the weather has turned consistently warm. If you buy your egg case early, refrigerate it in a container that allows air to circulate. Then take it out four to eight weeks before you’d like it to hatch. Inspect the bag beforehand. Make sure there aren’t any holes or tears. Then place the case inside, fold the bag, and use a paper clip to seal it. Keep it near a window where it will receive direct sunlight. Do not use a ziplock bag or any other airtight seal, since the baby nymphs will need air. Expect the nymphs to emerge after three to ten weeks of consistent warm weather. Check inside the bag on a daily basis throughout this time. Once you see tiny nymphs crawling around inside, remove however many you wish to keep as indoor pets and release the rest outside.  Check the bag regularly, since mantises will likely eat each other if left too long on their own.  Nymphs are very small and delicate, so be careful how you handle them. Use a plastic spoon to transfer them from the bag to a potted plant. Insert the spoon into the bag and wait for them to climb on, then set the spoon on top of the plant’s soil.

Article in English: Visit a local aquarium and speak to the shark keeper. These scientists will have a vast knowledge about sharks and can answer any questions and address any concerns you have about these animals. One of the best ways to overcome your fear of sharks is to swim with them. Many aquariums offer opportunities for you to swim with sharks. This puts you in a safe, controlled environment with sharks so that you can face your fears and start to unravel the fear that all sharks are killers. Go diving or snorkeling in the ocean. Diving or snorkeling can give you a clear view of the ocean, where you can see that there are very few - if any - sharks in most ocean water, while it's full of coral, reefs, and fish. If you do swim among some sharks, you will realize that most sharks are docile creatures uninterested in humans. Wade out into the water. Go swimming. Go surfing. Take a boat trip out into the ocean. Realize that being in the water isn't going to attract a shark. Don't let your fear of sharks stop you from enjoying ocean activities. When out in the water, put your hands in the water to help you get over your fears of the unknown. If swimming with sharks or going into the ocean is too much for you, start slowly. Get close to a shark by visiting your local aquarium to check out the shark exhibit. Walk right up to the glass and look into the shark's eyes. Acclimate yourself to the sharks. Watch them, see how they act around other marine life, study how they swim and move their body. Think of them as an animal instead of a monster. If you are truly afraid of getting close to a shark even behind glass, look at pictures of sharks. Watch documentaries and programs that feature the true nature of sharks instead of painting them as cold-blooded killers. Become comfortable with the reality of sharks, then slowly progress towards seeing them at the aquarium. At stores where they sell tropical fish, they may have small sharks. Ask the employees there if you can touch a baby shark. This gives you a chance to feel its skin and...

Article in English: Visit a local junkyard to check out the oldest cars that are still intact, which might make good candidates. Several Rat-Rodding websites also exist with links to possibilities. Look for one that is not especially rusted, and has its essential shape is still intact. Typically, Rats are made from American cars, often pick-ups, manufactured pre-1960. Popular models for Rat Rods include:  Mid-century Chevrolet pick-up trucks '30s-era Fords, esp. the "Model A"  Early Chrysler hemi engines are popular, as well as flathead V-8s To strip it down and start fresh, that means you'll need to remove all the seats, fixtures and other accessories from the car. Typically, cars used for Rat Rods are in pretty bad shape to begin with, in terms of the interior, making this step somewhat necessary. . Position a container under the drain cock, or remove one of the fuel lines and collect any gas remaining in the gas tank. This is an essential step in prepping the car for Rodding, as you're going to be doing a lot of welding and any remaining traces of gasoline will be dangerous. Keep a fire extinguisher ready in your shop or garage at all times while you're working. Measure and mark where you want the vehicle's new axles and wheels to go, then cut the frame up to the desired length using a reciprocating saw. Since a Rat Rod is mostly about the look of the car, you'll mostly be flying by the seat of your pants anyway. It's usually common to shorten the rear of the vehicle somewhat to accommodate the axle and eliminate any elements, such as roofs or hoods, that you no longer want. Make any cuts to accommodate the drivetrain. It's also possible to build your own frame, using about 20 feet (6.1 m) of rectangular 2x4 steel tubing in the early stages, cut into two equal sections. Weld them together, patterned like a ladder, as square and as level as possible. Use one cross member toward the front, one in the back, and a crossing pattern in the middle to support the body. Match the width of the frame to the body you intend to use.

Article in English: Visit a nursery to pick out a variety of lilac to grow. In addition to color, pay attention to the full-grown height of the plant. Some plants, such as Palibin' and Superba lilacs, grow into 5 to 6 - foot bushes. Others, such as Syringa reticulata, become 20 to 30 - foot trees.  You can purchase bare-root or container-grown plants from a local nursery or mail order plant supply company. Your local garden center or nursery should be able to recommend lilac varieties that do best in your area.  You can also transplant saplings, runners from a friend or neighbor's lilac bush. Dig up and transplant saplings from a friend or neighbor's lilac bush in the spring, just as leaf buds begin to form or when the newly opened leaves are still small. Choose saplings that are at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) tall. Use a shovel to dig the saplings out of the ground with as much of a root base as possible. Cut the runners with the shovel blade to separate the sapling from the parent plant. Lilacs need full sun, so find a spot that receives at least 6 hours of sun each day and has good air circulation. Lilacs grown in damp stagnant air or without enough sunshine are prone to disease. Lilacs also need well-drained soil. If drainage is a problem, create a mound or raised bed for them before planting. Avoid planting lilacs too close to a wall or tree. The lilacs' roots need room to spread out. If you are planting a dormant lilac, soak the roots in tepid water for 10–15 minutes. If they are rootbound or overgrown in their pots, loosen the root ball by using your fingers to gently separate the roots. Dig a hole in the soil deep enough to bury the roots. The base of the plant should sit at ground level. After setting the lilac in the hole, fill it up halfway with soil, then water it before filling up the rest of the hole. Bring the soil level up even with the natural flare at the bottom of the base. Covering the base beyond this point could smother the roots and kill the plant.  If the soil where you live isn't very rich, add some...
