Article in English: You need to work with your dialysis team regularly.  Those health professionals will be able to help you manage your health, diet and weight gain.  Typically, dialysis teams are made up of a qualified nephrologist, dietician, and social worker. Regarding matters of weight gain and diet, your dietitian is the most important person to consult. He or she has been educated about renal failure and can teach you more about the best foods to eat for your new dietary needs. Your nephrologist is the doctor who specializes in your kidney health. You will need to work closely with him or her throughout your treatment and consult him or her on every aspect of your disease and recovery, including your diet. A social worker who works at the dialysis center might be able to provide you with dialysis cookbooks and recipes. He or she can also get in touch with agencies that will help you get the food you need if finances are an issue for you. Dialysis can sometimes cause severe nausea.  Many times this is a big reason behind your weight loss and difficulty reaching or maintaining a healthy weight.  Consult your nephrologist and ask for a prescription anti-nausea medication.  Taking these regularly may help you eat more regular meals and feel more motivated to eat. If you're feeling nauseous make sure to tell your dialysis team.  Also try to keep something in your stomach.  Items like saltine crackers can help calm your stomach. Over-the-counter medications can be risky if you do not clear them with your doctor first. Metoclopramide and ondansetron are two different types of anti-emetic medications that may help with your nausea. Talk to your doctor about these medications. To help address your nutritional needs, your nephrologist might recommend the use of a special multivitamin for improved renal health.  This will be especially helpful if you're not eating well or have little appetite.  Renal vitamins are designed for patients with CKD, ESRD and/or are on dialysis.  They are a safe form that will not cause any harm to your...

Article in English: You need two pieces of fabric large enough to cover the duvet, plus one inch extra on the length and width to allow for a ½-inch (1.27-centimeter) seam. You want to allow ½-inch (1.27-centimeter) extra for each seam you need to make to piece the duvet cover together. Allow slightly more than that if you want a looser fit for your duvet cover or if your duvet is extra thick. Look for stain- and pill-resistant materials that wash easily. You can plan on making one side all the same fabric, or you can plan on piecing it together like a quilt top from a variety of fabrics. How to sew duvet covers is entirely up to you, and it’s a project that can let you express your artistic talents.     Dry it in the dryer. This removes any sizing and helps set the color dyes. If the fabric is going to shrink, it does it in this first wash cycle.

Article in English: You needn't worry about brand names or which type of vinegar. The active element is believed to be the pH level of vinegar, which destroys nail fungus. Always clean the area as best you can before applying home remedies or doctor prescribed methods.  Trimming will help whatever cure is being employed to reach more deeply into the nail.  Trimming the nails can reduce pain and discomfort. Don't file the nail too short as this could result in another problem, such as ingrown nails. Always clean your file and nail clippers after. Mix in equal parts vinegar and hot water. Soak the infected foot up to two times a day.  Do not soak for more than thirty minutes at a time.  Try to apply the vinegar directly to affected areas. More exposure of the infection to the vinegar may increase results. You should begin to see improvement within a week or two. Letting your nails dry totally before putting on socks or shoes will help to stop the fungus.  By depriving the fungus of a moist environment, you help keep it from spreading to other nails.  Always strive to keep your feet dry and cool. Warm and moist environments are favored by fungus. Practice proper nail and foot hygiene.  Clean your nails and keep them trimmed evenly and short. Do not use the "scraper"on any other nail unless it has been first disinfected, since you can spread the fungus this way.  Keep watch over the progression of the infection to learn if your treatment is working or not.  If the infection gets worse, see a doctor. Try other alternative methods such as snakeroot extract and tea tree oil applications. The fight against nail fungus can be a slow one.  Continue regular treatments to ensure the best results.  Nails grow very slowly.  Positive responses to treatments may be just as slow to see. Fungal infections can return, even after being cured.

Article in English: You never know when the perfect inspiration is going to hit. You may find that combining two different ideas makes a neat new game concept. Keep a log of ideas in a notebook, on your computer, or in a note taking app on your phone.  It might be particularly useful for you to keep your note-taking tools handy when you’re at game night. Playing games might spark the perfect idea for your own game. When using store-bought games for inspiration, ask yourself, “What would I do to improve this game?” This question can often lead you to interesting innovations. Themes are the “feel” of a game and can also be referred to as the game’s “genre.” Games like Sorry! have a simple "race to the end" theme. Complex wargames have conflicts, player politics, and game piece placement strategy.  You might find inspiration for the theme of your game in your favorite novel, comic book, or TV series. Mythology and legends are often used when developing themes. Common elements include vampires, witches, wizards, dragons, angels, demons, gnomes, and more. Mechanics are the ways players interact with the game and each other. In Monopoly, the mechanics are centered around dice-rolling, buying/selling property, and making money. The mechanics of Axis & Allies involve moving pieces across a large board and resolving player conflicts with dice rolls.  Some people come up with a mechanic and then create a theme around it, while others come up with a great theme and then tailor the mechanics to match that theme. Experiment to find what works best for you. Common mechanics you might be interested in using include turns, dice rolling, movement, card drawing, tile laying, auctioning, and more. The age range of your players will influence the complexity of your game board and its rules. If you are designing the game for children, it’s better for your game to be simple, easy-to-understand, and fun. For adults, you could create something more competitive, exciting, and complex. Keep your theme in mind when you’re deciding the age range. A zombie...

Article in English: You never know when today will be the last day. While that's a stark fact, it's also one we all must live with. Therefore, if you want to be sure your loved ones have something to hold on to when you're gone, you should write them and include them in your will now, not wait until you are too sick to do it.  This type of letter offers a way for you to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you, offer memories, and even apologize for past mistakes. If you want to, you can continue to update these letters or rewrite them over the years as you age. You can find these on the internet. Typically, they'll guide you through the process by offering questions you can answer. Writing this type of letter is much easier when you have prompts in front of you. For instance, try the template at http://med.stanford.edu/letter/friendsandfamily.html. If you've never had a chance to talk about them in person, you can say it here. You may regret something you did to the person or not spending enough time with them. Let them know that you're sorry for your actions, and you wish you could've done better. For instance, you might write, "I regret that I waited so long to apologize to you for my actions. We could have had so many more years together." Some people will have a hard time forgiving themselves for the things they've done to you, and they may feel even more guilty after you're gone since they can't rectify the situation. Offering your forgiveness in a letter may help them forgive themselves. For example, you could say, "I know you feel guilty for the times you couldn't be there for me. Don't. You were the best child a person could ask for, and I know you did the best you could to be a part of my life. Please go easy on yourself." Above all, this letter is a place to tell your loved ones what they mean to you. Don't hold back; they deserve to know what they really mean to you. It can help to bring up memories of things you've done together or talk about specific things you love about the person. For example, if you're...

Article in English: You now have a good idea of what caused each feeling you have about the person. Now you can determine your choices. Write down every way you might respond in this situation. Even if the choice is not ideal, write it down anyway. This will give you a full picture of your choices. For example, your list for a co-worker or acquaintance may look like this now:  Feeling: Bewildered Situation: I was praised by a friend for a project I completed, but this same person criticized me an hour later. Possible choices: Approach the friend, keep it to myself, talk about it with my parents, start school gossip, tell the situation to my teacher, etc. Next to each choice, write down all the possible consequences or outcomes that you can think of. Your list may look like this:  Choice: Approach friend about the issue  Possible consequence: Friend becomes offended Possible consequence: Friend receives the message well Possible consequence: I feel vulnerable telling how the situation affected me   Choice: Keep it to myself  Possible consequence: The problem will continue Possible consequence: The problem may go away on its own Possible consequence: It will continue to bother me   Choice: Talk to my parents about it  Possible consequence: I will feel better about the situation Possible consequence: Nothing at school changes Evaluate the possible outcomes. Think about your level of comfort with each outcome. Consider how you will feel when you make the choice. Consider how the other person will feel. Based on all the possible outcomes, choose one that you feel most comfortable with. This choice should be the one with the best outcome for yourself and the other person involved. Start with the choice that provides a needed outcome coupled with a consequence you are willing to experience.  In the friend situation, for example, starting school gossip would probably not be ideal. The consequences could be painful or could jeopardize your relationship with other friends. At this moment, maybe you would like to start by keeping it to...

Article in English: You obviously won’t be using this flashlight for anything other than the light saber, so make sure its not an expensive flashlight that you may need later.  Lay out newspaper outside (preferably on the driveway or a table) before spraying the flashlight and cover the top with duct or masking tape. You don’t want to spray the top of the flashlight with paint otherwise you won’t be able to “see the light force” when it’s turned on. Spray the entire body a silver color. You may want to take a few passes with the spray paint. In fact, you don’t have to spray your saber silver either. Ask your young Jedi--he/she may desire a different color such as sparkly pink or purple. Making a homemade light saber allows you to fully customize the toy to your child’s liking. If you could only pick up a regular flashlight, have no fear. Your light saber can have the color of your choosing using special colored paper.  Place the flashlight, light side downward on your paper. Trace the outside of the flashlight opening so that the paper circle is slightly larger than the flashlight opening. Cut out the paper and place over top of the flashlight. You can secure it using glue, silver duct tape or even (if large enough) a rubber band. Make sure the sword tubing is the desired size. Also, before you purchase it, compare the width to the size of your flashlight to ensure it can easily slip over the flashlight mouth.  Use an exacto knife to size and cut the tube to fit. However, depending upon the girth of tubing you may need to use a hacksaw to do the job. If your Jedi is especially little, you may not want him/her to play with an extremely long saber so determine what he/she can handle and cut accordingly. Use excess tubing to “top” your saber. You will want the tube to have a top to it, so use residual plastic to create a topper. Use the top of your saber as the guide, however make the circle approximately ½ inch larger so you can completely cover the top of your tube. Use clear glue such as liquid nails or a hot glue gun to adhere...

Article in English: You only have five minutes left, but don’t focus on that or worry about how badly you might do on the test. Clear your mind and try to think only about the material you remember learning that you will be quizzed on. During a study of highly anxious ninth graders taking a biology final, it was found that the students who took a couple of minutes to write down what they were worried about with the test did better on it than those who sat quietly during those couple of minutes. This technique tends to work especially for people who are constant worriers, because worrying clouds your thinking and causes you to miss questions that you may actually know. Make a quick list of the biggest points from the material: characters and plot, formulae, or important dates and events. Try to do it from memory, but if you can’t, glance at your notes for a couple of minutes first and then get writing. You may actually have more than five minutes if you remember about the test early enough. You could use the ride to school, lunch, recess, or between classes, before the class that the test is in.

Article in English: You only need a few simple ingredients to make a healthy and delicious broiled or grilled halibut. Here's what you need:  Halibut steaks Olive oil or melted butter Minced garlic Salt and pepper Lemon wedges  If you're grilling your halibut, light your grill. Make sure it is heated evenly before proceeding. If you're using a grill, place them directly on the grill. If you wish, top the butter with a teaspoon or two of minced garlic.  Test it with a fork for doneness. Serve garnished with a lemon wedge.  Cooked halibut will flake away from the fork easily, while undercooked halibut will still feel solid and fleshy. Cook halibut without drying it out by watching the cooking time carefully. Grilled halibut should be cooked for no more than 10 minutes per inch thick.

Article in English: You only need to do this when you have a lump of sap on your clothing. It won’t come off easily unless you freeze it. Throw your clothing in the freezer or pack some ice in a bag over the sap. After a few minutes, it’ll harden. Get a blunt butter knife to avoid cutting your fingers or your clothing. Hold the knife flat against the fabric and scrape it over the gob of sap. Be very careful when using the knife. The frozen sap should be brittle and break easily, so you won’t need to push hard. Moisten an old rag, hand towel, or cotton ball with the alcohol. You can find bottles of isopropyl alcohol at any drug or general store. If you don’t have it, you may use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer or hair spray instead.  Rubbing alcohol is effective in removing sap from your hair and body as well. For leather, try saddle soap instead. A little bit of peanut butter may also work without damaging the leather. Blot the area with the damp towel. If you put a little rubbing alcohol on the spot directly, you can also rub it in with your finger or an old toothbrush. You’ll most likely see the alcohol dissolving the sap stain immediately. For large spots, you’ll need to apply more. Use the rag again or apply extra alcohol directly. Rub the spot until it fades. Wash the clothing as you normally would. You can put it in the washing machine and use your regular detergent. For the most effective cleaning, get the water as hot as it can safely be for the fabric you’re treating. To find this, look at the label on the clothes or search the fabric type online for recommendations.

Article in English: You only need to floss once a day, and it’s best to avoid over-flossing, which can damage your gums. It’s best to floss at night when you brush your teeth before bed. This way, food particles and plaque don’t sit on your teeth all night. If you have food caught between your teeth, it’s okay to do an extra flossing to remove the food particles. When you floss, you dislodge food particles and plague. It may be helpful to floss your teeth before you brush so that you can scrub away the food and plague that come out from between your teeth. You may find that this gets your teeth cleaner. Different dentists will give different advice about when to floss, so ask your dentist when they recommend that you floss. Depending on your unique needs, they may recommend you floss after you brush. Flossing is very important for your oral health, so it’s important that you do it every day. However, you might find it hard to do it correctly. Fortunately, you may be able to find a product that works better for you than floss. Try the following:  Floss holders, which are small Y-shaped sticks that hold floss, may help if you’re struggling to hold the floss. "Superfloss," which expands in larger spaces and contracts to fit through smaller spaces, might help if you have wide gaps between some of your teeth. Floss threaders make it easier for you to clean around dental work. A water flosser sprays your teeth with water to help remove extra debris, but it’s not a substitute for flossing.

Article in English: You only need to soak an entire sweater if you want to shrink it entirely. Sometimes, this is not necessary. Your sweater may only have certain portions, like the neck or sleeves, that have stretched out. In this case, you can reshape the sweater by hand. Fill a tub with slightly warm water. Submerge your sweater in the water until it's soaked. Remove the sweater from the water. Press out any excess water into the sink. Do not wring or squeeze the sweater to remove water as this can cause damage. Place the sweater between a padded towel. Using your hands, gently mold the sweater into your desired shape. Then, set the sweater aside to dry. You should not hang a reshaped sweater to dry. Hanging can cause bumps and lumps on the sweater's shoulders. Instead, pin the sweater to the towel you were using. From there, lay it down in a safe place to dry. Keep out of reach of children or pets as you do not want the sweater handled while drying. If you want to reshape the whole sweater, more extreme action needs to be taken. To start, get your sweater wet using lukewarm tap water. How wet you get the sweater affects how much it shrinks. For more shrinking, completely soak the sweater prior to drying. For less shrinking, just gently mist the sweater using a spray bottle until its damp. If you want to shrink a whole sweater, you can use a machine dryer. After wetting the sweater, place it in a dryer on high heat. You should use the highest heat setting possible, especially if you want to shrink your sweater significantly. Run the dryer until the sweater is completely dry. This should shrink your sweater a couple of sizes.

Article in English: You or your friend may have special dietary needs. Before you begin cooking, talk things over with an adult. You want to make sure you create a menu everyone can safely eat.   Be aware of any food allergies. If your friend has a food allergy, encourage her to bring some snacks from home that are safe for her to eat. You could also have your mom contact her parents and ask about safe foods. Let your parents know in advance about any restrictions on your friend's diet. This will give them time to prepare. This is a great combination of a fun activity and a tasty treat. Make something fun that you wouldn't normally make, but always ask before using the oven or stove. Make sure you keep any food allergies in mind. Some possible recipes sleepover recipes:  Oven-baked s'mores  Homemade pizza  Fresh-squeezed lemonade  Sugar cookies  Chocolate cupcakes A sleepover can be a great opportunity to order all your favorite junk foods. Something like pizza can be a fun and simple way to feed you and your friend.  Order different dishes to share, like two pasta dishes. This works well with Chinese food. Try eating it with chopsticks for added fun. When you're having a sleepover, you want to make sure you have plenty of snacks to munch on throughout the night. These should be in addition to your main meal.  Fruit plates and vegetable plates with dip are great healthy options to help offset the sugar rush of junk food. Also have salty snacks like chips, crackers, nuts, or pretzels. You can also set out some of your favorite candies. Just make sure not to eat too much sugar late in the night.

Article in English: You probably already recognize the “triggers” (things said or done) that really set your parents off. If you recognize them, it may be easier for you to either avoid them or get out of the way in time to dodge abuse. One way to do this is to talk with a friend or journal about it so that you can identify contributing factors to their abuse.   For instance, if your mother always yells at you when she has been drinking, try to get out of the house as soon as you see her with a bottle. If your father tries to diminish your accomplishments when you've achieved something, refrain from telling him about your successes. Instead, tell people who support you. Find areas (such as your bedroom) that act as safe havens. Find another place to hang, get stuff done, and spend your time, such as a library or a friend's house. Not only can you get support from your friends at this time, but you're also away from your parents' accusations and scorn. Although it is smart to protect yourself from the abuse, you also need to recognize that it's not your fault if you do get caught in it. No matter what you say or do, it is no excuse for a parent to abuse you emotionally. Just because the abuse is not physical does mean it can't escalate. Develop a plan to keep yourself safe in case your parent's abuse turns physical and you think that your life is at risk.  A safety plan involves having a place to go that is secure, having someone to call for help, and knowing how to take legal action against your parent if it comes to that. You might sit down with another adult, like your school counselor, and put together a plan that helps you feel prepared in case of a crisis.  A safety plan may also involve keeping your cell phone charged and nearby you at all times and your car keys on you. Healthy self-esteem is the best antidote for emotional abuse. Unfortunately, people who have been emotionally abused often have a negative view of themselves, and they also often find themselves in relationships with emotionally abusive people. To fight...

Article in English: You probably can't tow an 8,000-pound full-size camper trailer with a Honda Civic. Depending upon the particular trailer you need to haul, you need to check to determine the weight limits in the owner's manual and determine the appropriate hitch to have installed.  The weight should be generally specified by the manufacturer and listed in the owner's manual. Look online if you're missing the manual, or check at an auto shop. You need to find two numbers, the gross trailer weight (GTW), which is the combined weight of the trailer and the gear on it, and the maximum tongue weight for your vehicle to determine the class of hitch you'll need to tow the load. Generally, you'll get a hitch receiver installed that you can use for different size trailer hitches, for class 3 and up. These receivers include a removable draw-bar that you can use to install different sized hitches for different loads you might use. If you get the largest receiver installed on your vehicle, you'll be ready for any sized load your vehicle can handle, classified according to the following specs:  Class 1: 2000 pounds GTW/200 pounds tongue weight Class 2: 3500 pounds GTW/350 pounds tongue weight Class 3: 5000 pounds GTW/500 pounds tongue weight Class 4: 7500 pounds GTW/750 pounds tongue weight Class 5: 10,000 pounds GTW/1000 pounds tongue weight The larger the ball, the more weight it can carry. Basically, the ball of the hitch will come in one of three sizes:   1 7⁄8 inch (4.8 cm) 2 inch (5.1 cm)  2 5⁄16 inch (5.9 cm) Use the tongue jack to raise the trailer and align it with the ball. Make sure that the hitch lock is unlocked before lowering the trailer onto the ball and securing the tongue. Cross the safety chains to the hooks near the vehicle hitch or the vehicle frame, making sure there is enough slack in the chains but not so much that they drag on the ground.  Using the tongue jack, try to raise the tongue off of the ball. If you are able to do this, the ball and tongue sizes do not match, or the ball is not locked properly. In this...

Article in English: You probably have a general idea of what you want to write about. Narrow that down to a specific focus by reading up on the current research. Find background information about your topic and identify potential sources that you can use. Ask your professor for feedback and suggestions.  Pick something that really interests you to make the research more fun. Choose a topic that has unanswered questions and propose solutions. The format of your paper depends heavily on what type of paper you want to write. It also affects the type of research you use.  Quantitative studies consist of original research performed by the writer. These research papers will need to include sections like Hypothesis (or Research Question), Previous Findings, Method, Limitations, Results, Discussion, and Application. Synthesis papers review the research already published and analyze it. They find weaknesses and strengths in the research, apply it to a specific situation, and then indicate a direction for future research. Interview individuals who have special knowledge or experience with your issue. Find reliable sources to support your ideas. Your research paper is only as credible as the sources you use. Academic journals, databases, and books are a great source of information.  Keep track of your sources. Write down all publication information necessary for citation: author, title of article, title of book or journal, publisher, edition, date published, volume number, issue number, page number, and anything else pertaining to your source. A program like Endnote can help you keep track of your sources. Take detailed notes as you read. Paraphrase information in your own words or if you copy directly from the article or book, indicate that these are direct quotes by using quotation marks to prevent plagiarism.

Article in English: You probably have a number of responsibilities and obligations that keep you busy in everyday life. During your travels you may feel the same urgency to do everything, go everywhere,  and see everything. But this can leave you feeling more stressed and tired than you do at home. Use your trip as an opportunity to get some of the rest and relaxation you miss out on at home. This can help you release stress and tension in general, which helps promote good mental health.  Take advantage of layovers and other down time by taking a brief nap, reading, journaling, or peacefully exploring your destination. On professional travel, carve some time out from preparing, meeting, and negotiating to just sit quietly and calm your mind. Take into account the effects of jet lag and time zone changes and make sure you’re giving your body time to adjust. It’s natural to want to look and feel a little special when you’re away from home. In fact, it’s a good thing. Splurging on yourself a little can boost your self-esteem, mood, and outlook on life. In other words, it helps you maintain your mental health. So, do something special to treat yourself while you’re traveling.  Put together a new outfit or try out a new hairstyle to wear out and about on your trip. Treat yourself to a special meal (including dessert) and try some of the local cuisine. Remember to keep most of your other meals healthy, though! If you’re lucky enough to be able to travel with a loved one or a friend, use the trip as an opportunity to strengthen your relationship with them. The time together sharing new experiences without the stress of day-to-day life can boost the quality of your interactions. This can help relieve any tension in the relationship, which means less stress and better mental health for you.  For example, you could use your trip as a way to rekindle the romance with your partner. Or, as another example, if the relationship between you and your teen is strained, you could use the trip as a way to reestablish communication by talking about...

Отдыхайте и расслабляйтесь. Балуйте себя. Укрепляйте отношения. Выражайте благодарность.


Article in English: You probably have at least a couple of friends from which to choose when asking for a loan, and you might think that the one with the most money is the best option.  The personality of the friend and your relationship with him/her is at least as important as his/her bank account, however. Borrow from a friend you know well, trust, and with whom you can communicate comfortably about any range of topics.  Remember, money can make for awkward conversations, so having a comfort level with uncomfortable discussions will be to your benefit. Even if you are a haggler by nature, now is not the time to extract your best possible deal.  Show deference and gratitude toward the friend who is being generous enough to offer you assistance, and you’ll reduce the risk of bitterness later.  Be clear about the amount of money you need, but present a range of loan options, and take what they offer (or leave it).  $2,000 when you need $10,000 is better than nothing, and is also probably better than losing a friend by pressing too hard for more. Refuse the terms politely instead of working for a deal to your liking.  Yes, it is going to be awkward to ask a friend for money and then say “no thanks.” But, that is a wound more likely to heal than making a friend feel taken advantage of through loan conditions with which he or she is uncomfortable.  It is better to say that you want to consider all your options again. Yes, this is an offshoot of the “no negotiating” advice, but worthy of its own billing.  Do not press an unwilling, or even hesitant friend to lend you money.  Pressuring a friend to lend money is taking advantage of that friend, and taking advantage of a friend is one of the best ways to lose a friend. Even beyond the damage to your friendship caused by pressuring him/her, you are likely to find yourself offered less advantageous loan terms that you will in turn feel pressured to accept.  Just move on to the next friend on your “ask list.” You owe it to your friend, your friendship, and yourself to take this loan...

Article in English: You probably have months notice when it comes to this event, so start early. What's your budget? How many recipients will there be? What does the boss have in mind? You're putting together quite a few pieces -- sometimes these things take time, so leave yourself some wiggle room to avoid missing the deadline. Do you know the demographic you're dealing with? Men and women, young and old, will enjoy different things. What do you know about who you're working for? If you're having a convention or holding any sort of event, you'll want to contact companies that sell products related to the topic at hand. There are things to consider here:  Contact companies that have offers of free samples on their website. You may only be able to get your hands on a few, but who said the goodie bags had to all be the same? Email companies asking for free samples. It's marketing! They do it all the time. Tell them how many people you have (that could be potential clients), what and when your event is, and what kind of samples you're looking for. Just give them enough advanced notice! While you may be proffering other companies' goods, you want your own name to be seen, too. Have your company's name on the goodie bag itself so everyone knows where these free gifts are coming from. You're trying to bank brownie points here, not just promote other companies. Pick out your bag after you know what the contents are -- you want neither a bag that's empty nor a bag that's overflowing. And if the bag doesn't have your company's name on it, put it on there. A tag, a sticker, heck, paint it on there if you have to. It's a goodie bag and it's art! Impressive. You've contacted your companies, you have the goods from the ones who actually responded, now what? You'll need to throw in a few pens, maybe a notepad or a key chain, but is that enough? Nope! Just because your goodie bag is for business doesn't mean you can't make it fun, too. Don't be afraid to add in some decorative things and some food, too. If your company has a color scheme, add...

Article in English: You probably have people at work that your friendly with but you haven't taken the time to get to know better. One of the keys to encourage friendships at work is to slowly make your relationship more personal. That is, you slowly start to share more about yourself with the people you enjoy talking to you, which in turn invites them to share more about themselves. In general, you tend to make friends with people who are nearby, which includes your neighbors. If you've talked a few times with a neighbor, consider trying to encourage a friendship by inviting the person over for dinner or bringing her brownies. Alternatively, meet your neighbors by bringing over a treat to encourage good will. One of the best ways to meet new people is to follow your passions. Find local groups that have the same interests you do. Look for groups that meet at your library with the same hobbies. Take classes in subjects that interest you at your local art museum or community college. By getting out in the community, you'll find people with similar interests who could become friends. If you can't find a group for your hobby, start one yourself. Most libraries have space to host groups, or you could meet at a coffee shop or restaurant. Try forming groups through social media such as Facebook or Meetup. Besides benefiting the community, volunteering also gives you a chance to meet new people. Consider volunteering at a library, a school, a hospital, a soup kitchen, or a food pantry, for instance. Pick something that will use your talents well. Spirituality comes in many forms, from more traditional religion to pagan groups and meditation. No matter what form you choose, it usually involves a group of people for you to engage with who likely have at least somewhat similar beliefs. If you see someone reading a book you love in a coffee shop, don't be afraid to go over and say hello. Similarly, if you've been smiling at the same person for weeks in one of your new classes, be sure to go over and introduce yourself. You can't be friends...

Article in English: You probably have several things you need already lying around your house. Find two extension cords, scissors, and picture hanging strips (the ones with adhesive that pull off). You may need to go to a hardware or lighting store for vanity light bars and light bulbs. Use the type of light bulbs that your vanity light bars' manufacturer recommends. You can also find vanity light bars online in a variety of sizes. Take the two light bars out of their boxes. Remove the caps that surround the sides of each socket. Set the caps aside and take care not to lose them since you'll need to reinsert them after you install the light bars. These are usually reflective like the mirror so they hide the bases of the light bulbs when re-installed. Set the light bars on opposite sides of mirror. Place the bars where you ultimately want them so they lay flush against the frame. Depending on which light bars you purchase, you'll see holes for screws in several places. Use a screw driver or a drill to secure the light bar to your mirror. Your vanity light bars will probably come with the screws you need to attach the bars. Take a pair of scissors and cut off the adapter end of your extension cord. Do this for both extension cords and take care not to cut yourself while using the scissors. Make a 1/4 inch cut at the end of the cord where you just removed the adapter. You should cut in between the two thin cords that are connected. Once you've cut in between the cords, hold one cord in each hand and carefully pull them apart. Keep pulling until you have about 5 inches of separated wires. Use your scissors to cut just the plastic covering the copper wire about an inch from the end. Once you've made the cut, slide the plastic off the end so you see the copper wire. Do this for both of the wires on both sets of extension cords. Take care not to cut into the copper wire while you're cutting away the plastic covering.

Article in English: You probably play video games just because you enjoy playing. But if playing video games is causing you to have recurring anger, then you might not be enjoying yourself as much as you used to.   If you experience chronic anger as a result of the games you’re playing, think about taking on a new hobby to replace gaming for a while. If you are not having fun, it’s not worth continuing your “relationship” with certain games. Playing (or even watching) violent video games may lead you to feel to increased feelings of anger and aggression, especially if you already have some anger issues. If you feel angry after playing or watching violent games, try switching to games that are not as violent. Not being able to get past a difficult level or obstacle in a game might also cause you to feel angry.  Think about why you tend to get angry when you play and whether or not failing a level or getting killed in the game is what sets off you anger. To deal with this type of anger, try playing a game that you have already mastered for a while and enjoy your success. Or, if you have the option to choose the difficulty in a game, try selecting a lower difficulty level to help prevent yourself from getting angry. If someone is trolling or harassing you on a MMO (massively multiplayer online) game, block or report the other player.  It’s not worth engaging with someone who is just trying to get a rise out of you.  Be sure that you are aware of the game’s community or user guidelines before reporting a player so that you are sure that they are acting inappropriately based on the MMO’s expectations. Sometimes you might feel anger (towards people or inanimate objects) when you are dealing with difficult problems in your life. If you find yourself getting angry about a video game (particularly if it is unusual for you to become angry), try to determine if other aspects of your life may be bothering you. For example, if you have just lost your job or gotten in trouble at school, you may feel frustrated and out of control of your life....

Summary in Russian:

Вспомните, почему вы играете в видеоигры. Играйте в менее жестокие видеоигры. Возможно, вы расстроены тем, что многое в игре у вас не получается. Заблокируйте или избегайте другого игрока, который заставляет вас злиться. Разберитесь, влияют ли внешние факторы на ваши эмоции. Откажитесь от игры, если она постоянно вас раздражает.


Article in English: You probably use makeup to add flattering contours to your cheekbones and chin, but you may not know that you can also use makeup to contour your cleavage. This inexpensive, albeit temporary, method for achieving a larger look is quite easy to do with a little practice.  Get fully dressed with the bra and top you want to wear. Since this solution involves a trick of the eye, your cleavage and chest area should be visible - wear something low cut. If you're concerned about getting makeup on your shirt, you can protect it with some toilet paper or tape. That said, you probably don't want to use this method while wearing white. Create a cleavage shadow with dark bronzer by applying it between your breasts. Load the brush and sweep it upward from the center of your chest and up and out, creating a v-shape between your breasts. Apply a lighter colored face powder to the top half of your breasts. Use a makeup sponge to blend the edges with the bronzer for an even finish. Bra technology has evolved to the point where you can have beautiful, genuine-looking breasts without having to go under the knife or expend effort toward exercising. Shop around for a push-up bra that feels comfortable and makes your chest look the way you want it to. A great push-up bra won't weigh you down, shift when you move, or make your boobs look pointy or oddly shaped.  Push-up bras with extra padding can increase your breast size by several cups. Size up one cup or go for two or three sizes bigger. Try on push-up bras under a shirt before buying them. You might be surprised at how much heft they add to your chest, and you want to make sure you look natural and comfortable. Push-ups are made with foam, gel, and even water inserts for a natural look. These silicone bra inserts are worn inside your unpadded bra to provide a highly realistic simulation of a real breast. Their weight, texture and appearance is quite close to that of the real thing. You can buy them in a skin tone color or transparent.

Article in English: You probably want the conversation to accomplish one of these things or a combination of a few:  Have your parents listen and understand what you’re saying without passing any judgement or offering any commentary. Have your parents support or receive their permission to do something. Give you advice or aide. Provide you with some guidance especially if you’re in trouble. To be fair and not put you down. This may be difficult especially if you need to talk about sex or open up in a way that you never had before. It’s natural to feel awkward or anxious when talking about difficult topics with your parents. Recognize what you are feeling and let your parents know so you can unburden yourself.  For example, if you’re worried that your parents will be disappointed then let them know immediately. Say something like, “Mom, I know that you had talked about this before and you’ll be disappointed at what I’m about to say but I know that you’ll listen to everything and give me what I’m looking for.” If your parents are particularly emotional and you expect a very harsh or unsupportive response, let them know that you have taken this into consideration yet have gathered the courage to still approach. Be proactive and diffuse the situation with positivity. “Dad, I know how mad this is going to make you but it’s important to me that I tell you because I know that you love and respect and only get mad because you want the best for me.” If your parents are already having a bad day, they may be even more prone to give you a negative response. Unless it is an emergency, wait for an appropriate time to approach your parents. Wait till you feel their mood is receptive and their day is relatively stress free.  For example, ask “May we talk or is now not a good time?” Going for a long drive or being out on a walk can be the perfect time; however, if you never find these opportunities you can simply make a good time. Make sure you know what you want to say ahead of time or write down key points to ensure that you don’t missing...

Article in English: You probably want to begin by playing someone who is at about your skill level or a little better, and preferably someone who isn't aggressively competitive. This way, you can have fun learning how to play. You can play one-on-one, or you can play with two teams of two, which is known as doubles. And you want someone who has regulation ping pong balls, paddles, and a table if you don't have access to any!  If your hand-eye coordination is more on par with a three-legged, blind dog, you might want to start practicing against a wall and getting familiar with how the ball and paddle work together. It's best on a table against the wall, for the record.  You want to play or practice with balls that are orange or white and 40 mm in size.  The table should be 2.74 meters (9.0 ft) long, 1.525 meters (5.0 ft) wide, and 0.76 meters (2.5 ft) high. Ping pong paddles don't have a regulation size, actually. Small paddles are hard to use successfully and bigger paddles weigh too much and are cumbersome. But they must be made of wood and rubber and competition paddles must have two colors (red and black). There are two commonly-used styles of gripping the paddle: the pen grip (penhold) and the shakehand grip. Regardless of how you grip the paddle, it's important to hold it loosely to allow your wrist to move freely.  If your fist is clenched around the handle, most of your force for returns will come from your arm, not your wrist, and you won't be as accurate. Neither grip is rocket science: With the pen grip, you essentially hold your paddle just as you would hold a pen. With the shakehand grip, you place your hand on the paddle's handle as though you are shaking hands with it, and then wrap your fingers loosely around it. The main thing here is to do what feels most natural for you. According to the official International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) rules, the right to choose whether to serve first is determined "by lot" (i.e. flipping a coin or drawing straws, etc.), with the winner choosing either whether to serve...

Article in English: You probably won't be able to see deep enough into your dog's ear to find the foreign body. This is because the ear canal is "L" shaped and foreign bodies worm their way deep down. The vet will need to look deep into the ear using an otoscope (which is an instrument that is part magnifier and part light). The vet will remove the irritating object using special long graspers called alligator forceps. Removing the foreign objects shouldn't take long or cause your dog any pain.

Article in English: You probably won't be getting much sleep the night you go out. You could end up at an after-party with the band or doing karaoke with the DJ's aunt. Either way, you are probably not going to sleep early. Drinking also interferes with your ability to get R.E.M. sleep, so you probably won’t rest well when you finally do get to bed. Getting plenty of rest before going out drinking is essential. If you know you're going to go big this weekend, make sure you get adequate sleep during the weekdays to prepare. A night of drinking can disrupt your ability to stay focused, solve problems, and do complex tasks long afterwards. For example, drinking five or more drinks in a night can affect your brain and body for up to three days. If you’re planning to go out drinking, it's best not to choose a night that’s right before a test, major work project, etc. Taking a break now and then from drinking as an activity can also be a good idea. For example, designating one weekend a month as an alcohol-free period can help you rest and recover. If you drink on an empty stomach, you will feel the effects of alcohol much faster, which can mean your night ends too soon. If you eat well and drink plenty of water before going out drinking, your body will slow its absorption of the alcohol you drink.  Eating beforehand stops you from feeling drunk as fast, but your body will still metabolize all of the alcohol eventually. In other words, you will still be affected by the alcohol, but you will not feel it as quickly. Good choices of foods and drink to consume beforehand include bread, meat, cheese, pasta, milk, etc. (all foods which will be digested slowly and/or are high in protein). Continuing to eat protein-rich foods while drinking will also slow your body’s absorption of alcohol. If you can, carry healthy snacks in your backpack, purse, or close by incase you need a snack to slow down alcohol absorption. Alcohol can impair your decision-making abilities, so it is a good idea to agree upon a plan for the night before going out. Make...

Article in English: You probably wouldn't want to use the same prank on an 18-year-old as you would on a 7-year-old. Try to find a prank that will be appropriate for their age. You can get them into trouble with your parents, or simply prank them. It’s generally best to leave your parents out of it unless it’s a really serious situation. You might as well get your revenge in a fun way through a prank. Make sure it isn't a predictable prank. There are so many great pranks out there, there’s no reason to fall back on one that's boring. Pranks have all sorts of levels of intensity so choose one based on how much revenge you're looking for. If you know good pranks, write them in a notebook and keep it in a place no one would look such as in your desk, under a pillow, or in a box. Keep your ideas secret until you decide to act.

Article in English: You put in lot of hard work, you you have the facts and the content, but if you do not know the proper way to convey the message then you can lose out to others. Or somebody else who is a good talker might take the credit for your hard work, which can be extremely frustrating.  Therefore, it's important that you learn how to speak up for yourself and that you do not hesitate to speak wherever and whenever necessary about what you can do, what you have done, your strengths, capabilities. You may prefer to work behind the scenes silently, but it is equally important for you to take center stage from time to time if you wish to make your mark. If you are unwilling to be assertive, remember that there are scores of other people out there who are prepared to walk all over you in order to move up the ladder. You can prepare and practice what you would like to speak, but also remember to practice how you would like to say what you intend to say. Practice the right pace, intonation and pitch to deliver the message.  Being an introvert, you would probably find interrupting somebody rude and would prefer not to do it yourself. But, keep in mind that extroverts or the good talkers are usually good at interrupting/interjecting the speakers, when somebody interrupts your mind goes blank, you feel like escaping from that place with all the eyes fixed on you and you not knowing how to and what to respond. Such incidents send jitters or scare you or make you retreat into oblivion. So, practice how you would face them, what you would say in such case, how you would respond, how you would tackle it …because introverts are usually not extemporaneous speakers and need time to prepare. So it really helps to be prepared to speak up. For example, when somebody interrupts you you can politely but firmly ask them to wait till you finish, or that you have allotted time for questions at the end of your presentation and so their question has to wait. Since introverts are better at writing than talking, you can use this characteristic to...

Article in English: You should add a dollop of mustard that is about the size of your fingertip. Mustard acts as an emulsifying agent--when two liquids don’t mix, like water and oil, mustard breaks them down and helps them to mix. You can also add a fingertip-sized dollop of mayonnaise to the bowl. Mayo is also an emulsifier and adds a nice creamy texture to the vinaigrette. However, for a lower-calorie vinaigrette, skip the mayo. This item will depend on the kind of vinaigrette you are making. The most standard vinaigrette is one made with lemons. Squeeze one fresh lemon into your bowl. If you don’t have a fresh lemon, you can also use four tablespoons of bottled lemon juice. Whisk the lemon juice with the other ingredients in the bowl. Make sure that it is thoroughly mixed. Other options for your acidic element include red wine, white wine, and apple cider vinegar. To properly combine all of the ingredients, continue to whisk the lemon mixture while slowly pouring in the olive oil. Whisking while pouring will help the water-based lemon juice combine with the oil. Continue to whisk until all of the ingredients are thoroughly combined. For a basic vinaigrette, all you need to ad is salt and pepper. Add as much or as little as you like. Season to taste. If you want to add other herbs, now is the time to do so. Other herbs you might like to add include:  Minced garlic, onion, or shallot. Finely chopped basil, parsley, thyme, or dill. Other spices like paprika or cumin. Only do this right before you are about to eat so that the lettuce does not get soggy. Enjoy!

Article in English: You should add several drops of each type of oil to a spray bottle filled with water and a few squirts of dish soap. Shake the bottle to stir the elements together. Then spray the areas of your house that seem to attract wasps, including under eaves and on porch roofs.  Don’t spray the whole area, as this would require more than one spray bottle of solution and can be very expensive. Focus on spraying where there have been other nests on your home. You can also buy wasp repellent in home improvement stores if you’d prefer not to mix your own. There are some plants that keep wasps away because they don't like the smell. Planting a few of them near where you spend a lot of time - the front porch or your backyard - can help keep wasps away. Mint, thyme, eucalyptus, and citronella will all repel wasps, and they'll also make your yards smell great! Since wasps are territorial, they won’t build a nest within 20 feet or so of another nest. Hang one decoy on each side of your house to keep wasps away from the whole house.

Article in English: You should aerate your lawn every 2 to 3 years. This process removes small plugs of soil from the ground and allows new nutrients, soils, air, and water to get to the roots of the existing plants. If your lawn is large, you may want to break it up into smaller segments and do a different one each year. Rent an aerator if you don’t have one. You can find manual models, as well as models that you can pull behind a riding lawn mower. If you have a small lawn, you can even consider aerators that strap onto your shoes. You just walk around your lawn and poke holes in it with the soles of the aerators.

Summary in Russian:

Оцените,  должен ли ваш газон подвергаться аэрации. Выберите аэратор. Запустите аэратор на вашем газоне.


Article in English: You should aim to apply your chosen mulch to the hydrangea bed in springtime (though the timing isn't overly important).  Mulching the hydrangeas in spring will help to retain moisture in the soil over the dry summer months, which will prevent you from needing to water the flowers as frequently. You should avoid mulching in the wintertime as this causes the soil to retain cold, which is bad for the plants. Before you apply the mulch, you should remove any weeds from the flower bed and give them a good watering. This prevents the soil from drying out or becoming clogged with weeds beneath the mulch. For best results, you should apply a relatively thick layer of mulch, approximately four inches deep.  As a general rule, finer-textured mulches - such as sawdust - should be applied less thickly (about 3 inches depth) than ones with thick chunky pieces. Larger-textured mulches - such as bark chips - may be applied to a depth of about 5 inches (12.7 cm). Keep the mulch 3 to 6 inches (7.6 to 15.2 cm) away from the stems of your hydrangeas. If the mulch is right up against the stems, it encourages dampness, which can lead to root rot. It could also encourage rodent activity during the winter and subsequent stem damage from the rodents. You should replenish the mulch around the hydrangeas every year, in order to keep it fresh.  Do not just pour new mulch over the old - use a garden fork, dirt shovel or rake to loosen and turn the old mulch. This will prevent the mulch from becoming too compacted, which restricts water and air movement. Add new mulch to the old mulch to bring the total depth up to between 3 and 5 inches. Remember that your hydrangeas will require a bit more water after mulching, because the thick mulch layer will absorb some water before it reaches the roots. Therefore you will need to provide more water to prevent the roots from drying out.

Article in English: You should already have developed some ideas about this, but this is your last chance to choose the right attacker to send the ball to.  You can create advantageous situations for your team by being deceptive about where you are going to send the ball, potentially leaving the other team unprepared for which attacker will actually be spiking.  For example, you might slightly arch your back, as if you are going to back set, and then at the last second set the ball forward instead, or vice versa. You can also square up as if you are going to set the ball toward one player, especially one across the court, and instead execute a short set to an attacker in a different direction, such as off to your side.  After setting, turn and look toward the ball's final destination, to signal your own teammates.

Article in English: You should also get medical attention if you cannot keep any food or water down, or are nauseous for more than 48 hours.  You should also seek medical attention if you feel weak, have a fever, have stomach pain, or cannot urinate for 8 hours or more. If there is blood in your vomit, bright red or coffee grounds in appearance and if you have a severe headache or a stiff neck or severe abdominal pain, go see a doctor. You should also take your child to a doctor if she hasn’t urinated in 4-6 hours, she has signs of dehydration, and she is experiencing diarrhea. There are several prescription medications that work to reduce nausea. Most begin working within 30 to 60 minutes.  Promethazine hydrochloride is available as a tablet, syrup, injection, or suppository.  Chlorpromazine is only available as a suppository. Prochlorperazine comes as both tablets and suppositories. Trimetho-benzamide hydrochloride is available as a capsule, injection, syrup, or suppository. Metoclopramide hydrochloride comes as a syrup, tablet, or injection. For relief from nausea connected to motion sickness, ask your doctor about scopolamine or Dramamine patches.

The following symptoms may also indicate an underlying condition that needs treatment:  Nausea that doesn’t go away Black, tarry stool or bright red bloody streaks Severe diarrhea or constipation Chest pain Unexplained weight loss There are several conditions which can have similar symptoms to gas. This means that if you aren’t sure that your symptoms are just gas, you may want to get checked by a doctor. The following conditions may produce symptoms that feel like gas:  Appendicitis Gall stones An obstructed bowel Irritable bowel syndrome Heart diseases Be honest and open with your doctor. In order to best diagnose you, your doctor will need to examine you physically and talk about your diet.  Let your doctor tap your abdomen and listen to whether it sounds hollow. If so, it suggests you have a lot of gas. Your doctor will also listen to your abdomen with a stethoscope. Loud rumbling and gurgling noises may be a sign that the intestines are full of gas. Give your doctor an honest summary of your eating habits. Provide your doctor with your medical records, including a complete list of medications, supplements, and vitamins that you take.

Article in English: You should also treat a severe sprain with rest, ice, compression, and elevation. However, while a less serious sprain can heal within 2 to 4 weeks or less, a severe sprain can take months to heal. Keep weight off of your foot and stick with RICE treatment throughout the healing process. A severe sprain involves significant ligament damage. In order to heal, your foot needs to be immobilized as much as possible. Your doctor will provide you with an immobilization cast or boot and let you know how long to wear it. The most serious sprains may require surgery. If you have severe ligament damage, your primary doctor will likely refer you to a podiatrist, or foot specialist. After surgical reconstruction, you’ll have to wear a boot for 4 to 8 weeks. Depending on your injury’s severity, you’ll start physical therapy 4 to 8 weeks after surgery. It could take anywhere from 16 weeks to 12 months to fully recover.

Summary in Russian:

Продолжайте следовать технике RICE. Носите фиксирующий гипс согласно указаниям врача. В случае серьезной травмы связок вам стоит обсудить с врачом возможность хирургического вмешательства.


Article in English: You should always ask before you put an employer’s name down as a reference. If they are contacted without knowing that you are applying for a job, they might be caught off guard and give a less than great reference. This will not make a good impression. It’s courteous and smart to ask ahead of time. If at all possible, let your employer(s) know when you start looking for jobs that you may ask for a letter soon. Your employer will appreciate having plenty of time to write the letter. Giving them plenty of notice also means that they will have more time to polish the letter and make it very strong. This will improve your prospects! For instance, if it’s Monday and you are asked to submit letters by the end of the week, don’t procrastinate and ask only on Wednesday. Ask your employer right away on Monday. Asking someone for a letter of reference in-person can make them feel pressured. They might find it harder to say no if they have to. Instead, write an email that asks for a letter of reference or use some other indirect method. This avoids putting your potential referee on the spot and allows them the opportunity to politely decline. Even if you know the employer well they’ll appreciate some comments on why you are asking them for a letter. Tell them how much you value their opinion on your job performance. You could also say that no one else is as qualified to comment specifically on your skills and qualities. Try writing something like: “John, in our two years working together, you’ve had the chance to see the successes I’ve had on several marketing projects. Your years of experience and mentorship along the way have been invaluable. I think you are uniquely qualified to discuss my performance, and I’d deeply appreciate your comments.” Make sure to tell you prospective letter writer that it’s ok if they are unable to write the letter for you. This makes it easier for them to say no if they don’t have time or don’t feel like they are the best person for the task.  For instance, instead of asking “John, will...

Article in English: You should always begin with the end in mind when it comes to planning a presentation. Think about what you're trying to convey, and the best means to do so in the time you have.  Write down your most important points. See if you notice a key point emerging. If your audience were to take away one thing from this presentation, what would it be? Don't just bombard your audience with facts. Think about what these facts do for your audience. What's the point you're trying to make with the information? If your topic isn't common knowledge, then you'll need to include that information in your presentation and ensure that you have enough time for it. You should also consider what your audience expects from the presentation. For example:  Are you trying to sell them a product, introduce them to a new idea, alter their way of thinking? Think about the kind of people in your audience. Do you have a tougher crowd, or do you have a group of enthusiastic people excited about what you're going to say? Ask yourself what statements, facts, and points best illustrate the theme of your presentation. A 10-minute presentation, for example, should include no more than 3 points. You should also consider the way the points relate to one another, and be prepared to discuss them in a logical, cohesive fashion. Not all points will relate to one another.  For example, if you're talking to a company about recycling program, you might discuss how corporate pollution contributes to global warming and how recycling can help the company save money. You wouldn't discuss the melting ice caps as a key point. Melting ice caps are a valid concern, but they are a fact or a supporting point. Comb through the research you are presenting. Look for your most solid supporting information. This should be the information that will really get the audience thinking, and can inspire change. Supporting information should do three things:  Add clarity to your argument by explaining anything the audience may not understand. For example: a brief overview of...

Article in English: You should always consult with a professional coin grading service before you clean your collectable coins. Cleaning collectable coins can significantly reduce their value, and in fact, sometimes coin “toning” or the discoloration and patina caused by exposure to air can actually add to the coin’s overall value. For that reason, you shouldn’t be cleaning valuable or antique coins.  When you are handling antique coins, always hold them on the edge and not on the coin's face. Oils and fingerprints can hurt a coin's value. There is standardised grading for coins, so even the smallest scratch from wiping one off can significantly reduce its value. You may store your 2x2 plastic holders in a binder to display all of your coins. Hard plastic is better because it is more sturdy and will prevent your coin from being damaged. The most important thing is that the containers are air-tight and that the coins will not be exposed to the environment around it.  Make sure that you remove any plastic that contains PVC plastic. Buy coin flips that use Mylar flips because PVC can damage the coins over time. Keep your antique coins away from staples or other metal. Do not use paper. It contains sulphur and can turn your coins black.

Article in English: You should always draw out your design before you start. It doesn't have to be a good drawing, but it does need to give you a solid road-map for what you're going to do. Draw the sculpture from several different angles, so that you can understand how different areas meet up, the height at which different pieces need to be, actual scale, etc. Sketching the sculpture to scale can be extremely useful. If it is very large, don't sweat it but if you can draw the sculpture to scale, do it. Armature is a fancy word sculptors use for "support structure". Think of your armature as your sculpture's bones. The armature is important, as it will keep the piece from becoming too delicate and easily broken.  Usually the armature is made from wire, the gauge of which will depend on the size of your sculpture. You can use other materials though, if your sculpture is small or wire is unavailable. Toothpicks can work, as can sticks. For larger sculptures, PVC pipe or plumping pipes can be useful. Using your sketch, identify the main "pieces" of the sculpture. Look at the lines that define those pieces and how they connect to the other pieces. Again, imagine a skeleton. Form your armature to these lines. The filler is a bit like the muscles of your sculpture. Generally it's made out of a cheap, light-weight, plentiful material. It's important because it will help you save on materials costs, as well as keep down the weight of your sculpture (making it less prone to breaking and easier to move). Common filler materials include masking or painter's tape, tin foil, newspaper, or cheaper clay (not encouraged).

Article in English: You should always follow your doctor’s instructions, but some general guidelines for resting your knee and reducing swelling follow:  Elevate your knee Apply an ice pack or cold compress for 10 – 15 minutes Repeat four times per day for a few days after the injury If your doctor says it is okay, take Motrin (ibuprofen) to reduce your pain and swelling.  Follow the dosing prescribed by your doctor or pharmacist.  You can also take Tylenol (acetaminophen), but this will only treat the pain and not address swelling. Talk to your doctor if you feel that you need to continue using these medications for longer than a week. After your kneecap is back in place you will likely be placed in a knee brace to prevent the kneecap from becoming dislocated again. The connective tissues in your knee may take weeks to heal enough to provide stability to your kneecap. In the meantime, it is important that you wear the brace as it will provide stability to the joint. It can be easy to skip or reschedule follow-up appointments with your doctor once you are no longer in pain.  However, these appointments are necessary so that your doctor can ensure that the knee is healing properly and that there are no secondary injuries that were missed at your original appointment. Expect your first follow-up appointment to be just a few days after the initial injury. You should try to avoid putting too much stress or pressure on your knee for a few weeks after the injury.  You should allow the joint to be mobile while still giving it time to heal.  Discuss with your doctor when to resume work and other activities. If your doctor refers you to a physical therapist once your knee has started to heal, be sure that you go to your therapy appointments and do any at-home exercises that the physical therapist gives you. Even when your knee starts to feel better, you have to strengthen it the proper way to avoid re-injury and ensure a full range of motion.  This can also help you avoid complications down the road. Athletes who have suffered from a...

Article in English: You should always give your guy the opportunity to realize for himself that you like him so that he can do something about it if he wants to. Be a little flirty and be sure to spend time with him. Try to introduce little touches and other hints. Just don't drag this on too long! Try biting your lip every time he looks at you or smile nervously. Look into his eyes and then turn away slowly. It's important to choose a good time to talk. You don't want him to be distracted, upset about something else, or just downright busy! That will kill your chances before you even get started. Talk to him about setting aside some good time to talk, or try to catch him at a time when you know he won't be busy. Talk to him in private. Confessing your crush in front of other people will make him feel pressured and embarrassed, and you don't want that! People that feel cornered can be unwilling to admit how they really feel. Instead, get him on his own so that the two of you can have a real heart-to-heart. When confessing your feelings, you have to just get out there and say how you feel. Be confident! Guys will think this is sexy. You also have to be bold because you're going to need to take the initiative in talking about how you feel and whether the two of you could have anything.

Article in English: You should always go into an interview with a list of personal and professional references. Make sure to let your references know that they may be contacted by your interviewer. Remove anything that might be considered inappropriate from your social media accounts before you begin applying for jobs. There's a good chance that the parents will look you up online at some point. You might even consider downloading an app to clean your accounts up for you. Always be sure to silence your phone before an interview. A ringing phone can make you look unprofessional and might interrupt the conversation at the worst possible time. Always bring a pen and paper with you to an interview to take notes. It will make you look prepared, and it will allow you to easily jot down contact information and anything else you may need to remember after the interview. You should never say anything negative about a former employer during an interview, even if it is true. These kinds of comments will only make you come across as negative and immature, so try to think of a positive way of talking about your past jobs. It's important for the interviewer to get a good sense of who you are, but it's also important that you demonstrate that you are capable of staying on-task. Offer details or examples when they are relevant, but try not to get too off-topic when answering questions. After your interview, be sure to send a note, either by mail or by email, to the family. You should thank them for their time and reiterate your interest in  the position.

Article in English: You should always have an antivirus program installed and running on your computer. If you do not, there are several free programs available, such as AVG or Avast. Download and install one of these programs.  If you can’t access the internet because of the virus infection, you may need to download the program on another computer and then transfer it to the infected computer via thumb drive. Many websites have banners that claim you are infected. These are almost always scams, and you should never click these warnings. Only trust your installed antivirus software to detect viruses on your system. Your antivirus program will likely be much more effective if you run it in Safe Mode. To enter Safe Mode, reboot your computer and repeatedly strike the F8 key until the Advanced Boot menu appears. Select Safe Mode from the menu. If all else fails, and you can’t remove the virus with an antivirus program, you may need to reinstall your copy of Windows and start from scratch. Backup all of your important data and then follow this guide for reinstalling your operating system.

Article in English: You should always prepare your hair for cornrows/weave prior to executing the style. Wash your hair as you normally do, and give it a good conditioning treatment as well. Make sure that your hair is totally dry before starting the cornrow process. To create the base to sew your weave onto, you have to braid your head in a series of cornrows. To do this, you’ll need a wide tooth comb, a fine tooth comb, and a hair pick. You will also need 2 to 3 large hair clips to hold your hair away from your face, and a detangling spray of some sort (3 parts water mixed with 1 part oil in a spray bottle works well). When you add your weave, you’ll place it in layers around a part in your natural hair. Your part is the exposed area of the scalp, and is typically located down the center of your head or slightly off-center. Choose the location of the part carefully because you will not be able to change it until you take out the weave. Separate out 0.5 in (1.3 cm) sections of hair on either side of it. Pin the rest of your hair back using the clips. Your part only needs to go about halfway back on your head. Each of the braids you began on either side of your part will continue on to form full braids that wrap around your head. This means that from a birds-eye-view of your completed head, there will be concentric circles formed around your part. Follow the pattern of the perimeter braid, by sectioning off thin pieces of hair around the outer edge and working in. Go to the next braid closest to your hairline, and braid on either side of your part towards the back of your head.  Continue spraying your hair with the oil/water mixture or your detangler spray to make braiding easier. Your braids should be very tight and may hurt while braiding, but shouldn’t be painful when completed. The braids will likely become quite thick about halfway through, because of all the hair you gather. Don’t be worried if because of this your braids are uneven. Work inwards on your braids, away from your part. Each of the small braids you started on...

Article in English: You should always read a garment’s care label before washing it, because the care label will tell you exactly how to proceed. Check the care label for:  Whether you can machine wash the coat or if it has to be hand washed Which cycle to use in the washer (if permitted) What detergents or soaps to use Other special washing and care instructions Drying instructions Whether the is coat dry clean only Use a garment brush and wipe the coat gently to remove dirt, dust, food, mud, and other particles that have collected. To prevent felting and making the wool fluffy, brush lengthwise from the collar to the bottom. You can use a damp cloth to brush the coat if you don’t have a garment brush. Look over the garment for dirt, food, and other stains that may be on the fabric. To spot clean, apply a small amount of mild detergent, such as Woolite, to the affected area. Rub the detergent in gently with your finger until the dirt comes loose.  Even if you don’t see any soiling, spot clean the collar, cuffs, and armpits of the coat. You can also use a stain bar or cashmere and wool shampoo to spot clean a wool coat.

Article in English: You should always say what you believe in, be willing to take risks, and have the ability to admit your mistake without being worried about what other people will think. Doing this shows that you have self-confidence. This helps create an attractive personality because it shows that you're comfortable with yourself and that makes others comfortable around you. Asking questions is important when it comes to confidence. The more you know, the more comfortable you'll feel when speaking about things. Never be afraid to ask questions. Dressing appropriately and having good posture show confidence. You don't have to have the “perfect body” to be confident in it. People will be more attracted to you if you dress well, respect yourself, and carry yourself well. If you need a little boost, place post-it's around your mirror that remind you of the parts of your body that you love. Focus on these rather than the things that you're self-conscious about. While confidence is endearing, cockiness is very unappetizing. People will turn away from your personality if you're all about yourself. A great way to avoid this is to remind yourself to compliment others. Every day, find 5 people to give compliments to. They can be strangers, co-workers, or friends. Either way, this will help you stay grounded.

Article in English: You should always start by stopping certain things that make your breasts bigger naturally. The most common culprit will be birth control pills, which can add up to two cup sizes to your breasts! You'll have to talk to your doctor about non-hormone based alternatives.  A good alternative option to birth control pills is the copper IUD.  Pregnancy and breastfeeding are also natural causes of bigger breasts but you should not act against these states as they are natural and temporary. Calories are the fuel that our body uses and in order to burn fat (which is the main contributor to your bust line), you'll need to give it less fuel than it needs. This doesn't mean starving yourself, it just means balancing your activity level with the amount of fuel it needs. Lowering the amount of food you eat by a small amount while increasing your activity by a small amount can be enough to help you lose weight.  Use an online calorie calculator to find out how to adjust your diet. This calorie deficit should only be temporary. Once you've reached a healthy target weight, balance your calorie intake with your activity level. Maintaining a healthy diet is more important than losing fat around your bust. If you are already at a healthy overall weight, losing additional weight to make your breasts smaller would be unhealthy.  Maintaining a calorie deficit is only one factor involved in losing weight and excess fat. While this may have a limited short-term benefit, it's not the only thing that counts. You'll want to eat a healthier diet that puts your calorie intake to work for you! By eating few unhealthy items and increasing the nutritional value of the food that you do eat, you can make yourself feel more full with less food and easily decrease the number of calories you consume in a day.  Add healthy items to your diet. Eat healthy foods like kale, spinach, broccoli, quinoa, whole grain oatmeal, potatoes, lentils, edamame, white beans, fish, eggs, cottage cheese, and many other foods. Skip on fruits, which add a lot of sugar...

Article in English: You should always talk with your doctor before switching formulas. This includes if you are switching for dietary or financial reasons. Your doctor will be able to recommend a formula suitable for your baby and can help you with the transition to a new formula.  If your baby gets hives, a rash, redness, or vomits forcefully after drinking formula, they may have a true allergy to the milk or soy protein found within the formula. Your doctor or pediatrician may also recommend switching formulas for dietary reasons or due to poor weight gain. For example, your baby may need more iron in their diet and, therefore, an iron-fortified formula may be best. Certain formulas may also be recommended for babies with severe acid reflux. If the doctor does not suspect a true medical problem; however, they may be able to recommend a brand or formula that can improve other health symptoms, such as fussiness, gas, and difficulty pooping. It will be easiest on your baby’s digestive system to stick with the same protein type when switching formulas. If you have decided to try a new brand for cost rather than medical reasons, this should be relatively easy. For example, if your baby's current formula uses cows' milk as the protein type, then you should choose a new less expensive formula that also uses a similar ratio of cows' milk. If the protein in the initial formula was hydrolyzed or partially hydrolyzed, keep this consistent in the new formula. If you are switching formulas because your baby has a digestive intolerance, you will need to choose a formula with a different protein type. See which new formula your doctor thinks will help your baby's digestion. Your doctor may recommend that you try a soy-based formula instead of a cows' milk formula to treat a casein intolerance. If your baby was previously drinking a formula with iron, DHA, or other additives, consider selecting another formula with those characteristics. Reading the label will also help you understand the ingredients and you can avoid any ingredients that may...

Article in English: You should always try to listen to your body and respond to it. That means don't delay when you need to go, and don't try to hold it in. You may be constipated because you have been withholding when you need to go. In this case, faeces can condense, making the stool harder to pass.  People who are traveling or experiencing a change in routine can become constipated. Add in yogurt or prunes and try to stay near a toilet. Ask for an aisle seat on a plane or stop frequently on a road trip. Having an environment where you can relax can help you poop more easily and not rush or force it. Close the door and make sure your family knows it is not okay to enter if the door is shut. Don't let people pressure you or make a fuss of it. Never get stressed out as this may slow the process down. Try placing your feet on a low stool when you are using the toilet. This can elevate your knees above your hips, and potentially make passing stools easier. Try to relax when you are sat on the toilet, and breathe steadily. Don't hold your breath and don't take a deep breath in at the start. One toilet technique is to imagine that your back passage is an elevator. Gently try to push down to the ground floor, and then the basement, until it is down as far as it can go.  Relax for a second, but do not let the elevator rise back up. Widen your waist and push back and down. Don't strain yourself, but try to maintain the pressure.

Article in English: You should always wash your face before using a pore strip. Washing removes dirt and oil. Using warm water will also open up your pores.   It is particularly important to remove makeup before applying the pore strips.  By opening up your pores, warm water will make it easier for the pore strip to attach to dirt inside the pores. Thus you can pull it out and prevent blackheads from forming. For these pore strips, you will need the egg white specifically, which can be difficult to separate from the yolk. Consider saving yourself the trouble and purchase egg white that has already been separated.  Alternatively, you can use an egg white separator. Crack the egg and let it run through the separator. The yolk will get caught in the separator and the white will flow through. Have a container underneath to catch the egg white. You can also break the egg into a bowl. Use your hands to gently pick up the yolk and move it to a separate container. Put egg white in a small bowl and place a large piece of two-ply toilet paper or paper towel in the bowl. It is imperative that the paper be thoroughly soaked in egg white. Alternatively, you can use a makeup brush to spread the egg white directly on your face, stick the paper on your face, and then use the paper to apply an additional layer of egg white on top. A large piece of paper can be spread across your entire face, or at least most of it. This will allow you to get a lot of blackheads at the same time. Be especially careful to target problem areas, where you have or are experiencing blackheads. The paper should harden, so that it sticks to your face. This might take anywhere from 10-20 minutes. There is no need to tear the paper up into thin sheets, like store bought pore strips. You can use one large paper towel or piece of toilet paper to cover much of your face. This makes the process quicker and easier. After approximately 10-20 minutes, slowly remove the paper from your face. Start from the edge when peeling it off. Do not pull it off so quickly that you hurt...
