Article in English: This is the program you will be using write and edit your code.  Notepad can be accessed on any version of Windows using ⊞ Win + R > Notepad. TextEdit can be accessed on Mac by going to Applications > TextEdit. A section of PHP code begins and ends with bracketed PHP tags (“<?php” “?>”). “Echo” is a very basic statement (an instruction to the computer) in the PHP language that will output text to the screen. The text you want to echo must be enclosed in quotation marks and end in a semi-colon. The code should look something like <?php echo “Hello World!”; ?>. This is done by navigating to File > Save As...  In Notepad, add .php to the end of the filename and enclose in double quotations. This ensures the file will not be converted into a basic text file by Notepad. Without the quotation marks, the file will become hello world.php.txt. Alternatively, you can select the drop down menu under Save as type and change it to "All Files (*.*)" which will leave the name exactly how you type it and the quotes will not be needed. In TextEdit, no quotations marks are necessary, but a popup will appear asking you to verify that you want the file saved as .php. Make sure you save the file to your “server’s” document root directory. Typically this is the folder named “htdocs” in your Apache folder on Windows, or /Library/Webserver/Documents on Mac, but can be set by the user manually.

Look at the "Operating System" entry to see if you're running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows. You can download the latest drivers from the GeForce website (geforce.com). Most Nvidia cards are "GeForce" cards. Visit the nvidia.com website instead if your card is from another line. There are three ways that you can select your drivers:  Automatic Driver Updates - Use the Nvidia GeForce Experience program to manage driver updates. Click here for more details. Manual Driver Search - Use the information from Step 1 to select the correct driver. The four most recent drivers will be shown. Auto-Detect Your GPU - The Nvidia website will use a Java applet to detect your graphics card and display the correct drivers. You will need Java installed to run it. The current applet is out of date, which may cause problems with some browsers. You'll have an easier time using one of the other two methods in this step. Click the link to download the latest version of the driver. You should always download the latest version unless you specifically need an older one. The latest version will often give the best performance. Run the downloaded installer to update your drivers. The installer will automatically remove the old drivers and install the updated ones.  Most users can choose the "Express" option during installation. Your screen may flicker or go black for a short time during installation. When the driver update is installed, a system restore point will be created automatically. This will allow you to roll your system back to before the driver was installed.

Article in English: This is the rate of return an investor could expect on an investment in which his or her money is not at risk, such as U.S. Treasury Bills for investments in U.S. dollars and German Government Bills for investments that trade in euros. This figure is normally expressed as a percentage. These figures are also expressed as percentages. Usually the rates of return are figured over several months. Either or both of these values may be negative, meaning that investing in the stock or the market (index) as a whole would mean a loss during the period. If only one of the two rates is negative, the beta will be negative. If the stock's rate of return is 7% and the risk-free rate is 2%, the difference would be 5%. If the market or index rate of return is 8% and the risk-free rate is again 2%, the difference would be 6%. This fraction is the beta figure, typically expressed as a decimal value. In the example above, the beta would be 5 divided by 6, or 0.833.   The beta of the market itself (or the appropriate index) is by definition 1.0, as the market is being compared to itself, and any number (except zero) divided by itself equals 1.  A beta of less than 1 means that the stock is less volatile than the market as a whole, while a beta greater than 1 means the stock is more volatile than the market as a whole. The beta value can be less than zero, meaning either that the stock is losing money while the market as a whole is gaining (more likely) or that the stock is gaining while the market as a whole is losing money (less likely). When figuring beta, it is common, though not required, to use an index representative of the market in which the stock trades. For U.S. stocks, the S&P 500 is the index usually used, although analysis of an industrial stock may be better served by comparing it against the Dow Jones Industrial Average. There are several other indexes that could be used appropriately. For stocks that trade internationally, the MSCI EAFE (representing Europe, Australasia, and the Far East) is a suitable...

Article in English: This is the route many couples go when the man has had a vasectomy and the couple wants to get pregnant.  It is important to talk to a doctor who specializes in this area and who can provide additional information (as well as expected cost) for your case. The cost and complexity of the procedure can vary greatly between couples. One of the main reasons that IVF is chosen is that the vasectomy reversal was unsuccessful, and the couple is still determined to have biological children of their own. Success rates of the procedure vary greatly depending upon the reason for receiving it, as well as fertility factors for both the man and the woman. If he has had his sperm frozen in the past, this can be used for the procedure. If he has not, another option is to collect sperm directly from the man's vas deferens (the portion of the tube that is still intact and that was not cut by surgery) and to use this for in vitro fertilization. This is a procedure done in specialty medical labs. Normally more than one egg is taken from the female, in order to maximize the chances of a successful embryo forming in the lab. Often more than one embryo will be implanted in order to maximize success rates of the conception (in hopes that at least one of the embryos will successfully survive and grow once placed in the uterus). A complication of IVF, for this reason, is the risk of having multiples (twins, triplets, or perhaps more). Speak to your doctor about how many embryos he or she recommends to have implanted in your specific case. It would depend upon a number of factors specific to each couple, including cost (as if the procedure "fails" and has to be done again that gets expensive), as well as other "fertility factors" that can be assessed by your doctor. Like any medical procedure, IVF has advantages and disadvantages.  The advantages of IVF include:  the vasectomy still exists as permanent birth control after your child is conceived it is an easier procedure for the man (compared to undergoing surgery to have his vasectomy...

Article in English: This is the safer and healthier alternative to tanning using UV rays. When choosing a self-tanning product, start with a lighter color with an added moisturizer to help blend in awkward tan lines. It may be tempting to match the self-tanner to your tanned skin areas, but that would not be wise. If you apply deep tanning colors to your untanned skin, it will create an orange-y, splotchy mess with streaks on your ankles and feet which are hard areas to tan.  Moisturizing self-tanners are easier to spread and blend in. Gradual self tanners take about one week to work, but they will look the most natural. Spray tan specialists use an airbrush to gently apply fake tan to blend in your skin tones and offer you an opportunity to get specific areas tanned in a semi-private atmosphere. These types of tans can last about two weeks and should fade away at the same rate as your natural tan.  Paying for a specialist to give you a spray tan can be costly. Consider the cost before going out to get one. This is a good option if you don't feel confident in applying your own fake tan. Tanning beds can be a nice choice for convenience and total privacy. Tanning beds will also create a consistent, full coverage tan even if you have several skin tones going on. The more pale areas should be more effected by the tanning bed UV rays and after a few trips to the tanning saloon, they should catch up to your darker skin.  In a tanning bed, you can control which areas of your skin are exposed to UV rays and for how long. This will allow you to match the tone of your skin more accurately. Beware of the damage caused by tanning beds. Tanning beds emit the same UV rays as the sun that can lead to skin damage and cancer.

Article in English: This is the same formula used to graph regular linear equations, but instead of an ‘=’ sign being used, you will be given an inequality sign. The inequality sign will either be <, >, <, or >.  Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intercept. Having an inequality present means that there are multiple solutions. Find the y-intercept and the slope to mark your coordinates. If we use the example of y>1/2x+2, then the y-intercept is ‘1’. The slope is ½, meaning you move up one point and to the right two points. Before you draw it though, check the inequality symbol that is being used. If it is a “greater than” symbol, your line should be dashed. If it is a “greater than or equal to” symbol, your line should be solid. Because there are multiple solutions to an inequality, you must show all possible solutions on your graph. This means you will shade all of your graph above or below your line.  Choose a coordinate - the origin at (0,0) is often the easiest. Make sure that you note if this coordinate is above or below the line you’ve drawn. Substitute these coordinates into your inequality. Following our example, it would be 0>1/2(0)+1. Solve this inequality. If the coordinate pair is a point above your line and the answer is true, then you would shade above the line. If the answer to the inequality is false, then you would shade below the line. If the coordinate lies below your line and the answer is true, then you shade below your line. If your answer is false, then shade above our line. In our example, (0,0) is below our line and creates a false solution when substituted into the inequality. That means that we shade the remainder of the graph above the line.

Article in English: This is the simplest and easiest method to treat frizzy hair. The low pH level in carbonated water helps to reduce your frizz. Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner. Then, give it a final rinse with several cups of carbonated water. The acidity in apple cider vinegar does wonders to tame frizzy hair, and gives your hair a healthy shine.  After shampooing your hair, and completely rinsing out any shampoo, pour apple cider vinegar diluted 4:1 with water into your hair, from root to tip. Let it sit for about 30 seconds and then rinse it with cool water. Proceed to condition your hair as you normally would. Repeat this treatment once a week.  For those with extremely frizzy hair, mix one cup of the apple cider vinegar with two cups water, then pour on hair and leave it in for 20 minutes. Rinse it off thoroughly with cold water, ensuring you get all the vinegar out to avoid making your hair smell of it. These ingredients will act as natural conditioners for your hair, as both avocado and olive oil have very good hydrating benefits. Avocado also has good fatty acids, as well as Vitamin E, to help tame frizziness.  Mash up an avocado in a bowl and then add a splash of olive oil to the bowl. Whip the two ingredients together. After shampooing your hair and toweling it dry, apply the avocado mask, making sure to fully cover all of your hair. Let the mask sit for 30 minutes to an hour, and then rinse it out thoroughly. Condition your hair to get rid of the avocado scent. You can also add mayonnaise to the avocado mixture as the fat content in the mayo will help to create a natural, moisturizing mask.  Use this hair mask once or twice a week to prevent dryness and to condition your hair. Eggs contain natural amino acids that are highly beneficial for revitalizing your hair follicles and smoothing down frizzy hair. They also contain enzymes that kill bacteria and get rid of unwanted oil on your scalp.  Mix one egg with a spoon full of olive oil. Leave the mask to sit for 30 minutes so the ingredients dissolve....

Article in English: This is the simplest method to remove an eyeliner stain, because you probably already have dishwashing soap around your house. Add ¼ teaspoon to 8  fl oz (240 mL) of warm water. Seal the container and shake it around, or stir. You can use whatever vessel you have at your disposal to mix the soap and water. However, using an empty spray bottle works perfectly. This will allow you to shake the soap and water until it’s fully mixed, and then spray directly onto the stain. Fill a spray bottle with plain water and spray the stained area to rinse the soap out of it. Blot up the water after spraying the area. Repeat this a few times to ensure that all of the soap is out of the carpet. Put a couple of layers of paper towel or a couple of clean white rags on the wet spot, and place something heavy over top. After a few hours, remove the paper towels and let the spot breathe. Avoid walking on the carpet as it dries. After it’s completely dry, examine the spot and determine if you need to repeat these steps. Vacuum over the area after it’s dry to “re-fluff” the area and make sure it is blended into the rest of the carpet.

Article in English: This is the simplest, most direct way to make a girl blush. Almost everyone appreciates a good compliment. If you choose the right words — walking the thin line between sincere and funny — she just might blush. A few tips are below.  Try to make the compliment about her, rather than about her things. As a simple example, you might say "You look great in that dress" instead of "I like your dress." Explore topics besides her looks. For example, her smarts and artistic abilities are also great things to bring up. Don't lay it on too thick. One or two compliments per conversation are fine. A constant string of compliments will usually make people feel uncomfortable. Sometimes a single look can say a thousand words. When you catch her eye as you talk, smile at her and keep your gaze for a few seconds longer than you normally would. If she is shy, even the slightest amount of eye contact may turn her cheeks pink. If she smiles back at you, this can be a sign she feels an attraction for you (though you shouldn't go off of this alone). When something else catches your attention or someone else starts talking, break your eye contact. Don't keep staring at the girl — this can come across as creepy leering. Not all girls will blush over something as innocent as eye contact. However, a little good-natured flirting can usually do the trick. Flirting is a skill that is a little too complex to explain in a single step, so see our article on it for detailed instructions. One basic way to flirt is to give someone a ridiculous compliment with a joking or sarcastic delivery. For example, if the girl flexes to show off her bicep, you might say something like, "Oooh, soo sexy." It should come across like you're teasing her but being a little sincere at the same time. This takes a little finesse, but it works great when you get good at it. Your goal here is to embarrass the girl, but only slightly and only about something that's not actually very important. You should always keep your teasing lighthearted. Back off immediately if...

Article in English: This is the simplest—and fastest—way to play. Simply deal out cards and play out a hand of poker with no betting. At the end the player with the highest hand wins and everyone else is required to remove a piece of clothing.  Alternatively, have only the player with the lowest hand in each showdown strip. This is a slower version of the game, for a more extended evening of fun. If you want, you can let players fold early in the hand—such as before the flop in Texas Hold'em—to avoid having to strip. However this obviously gives shy players the option to hardly participate at all, which can defeat the fun of the game. This version is a great way to reveal hidden crushes and flirtations within a group. Play out a hand as normal, and at the end the person with the highest hand gets to choose one person in the group to lose and article of clothing.  With this variation especially, make sure no one in your game is likely to get jealous or territorial. In a group of friends it can be fun to find out who wants who to show a little more skin, but not if the answer is going to make anyone upset. Don't pick on any one person. Conspiring just to strip down one player completely, especially in a larger group, is less fun, and can feel uncomfortable and predatory to that person. Deal out hands and let players bet an item or items of clothing instead of chips, which must be matched by the same or equivalent item by anyone who wants to call. Players without good enough hands can fold. After the showdown, the players who stayed in and lost remove the clothes they wagered. Play a normal game of poker with chips or cash bets, but allow players who run low to trade in items of clothing to the bank or another player for a loan of chips. This is the version of the game that most resembles actual poker, with betting, bluffing and strategy.  Different items of clothing can either all have the same value, or can increase in value the closer they put a player to being naked. For instance if socks are worth $10, a shirt might be worth...

Article in English: This is the single most important thing to relieve kidney pain. You should drink between two to three liters of water per day when healthy, but you may need more to help you pass kidney stones. Water helps wash away bacteria and dead tissues from the kidney. Stagnant urine is an excellent medium for bacterial growth. By drinking plenty of water, you can create a continuous flow of water through the kidney which prevents bacteria from growing and multiplying.  A small kidney stone (<4mm) may also be passed spontaneously with urine if the flow is adequate. Limit your intake of coffee, tea, and cola to one to two cups per day. Sometimes bed rest can be helpful in reducing pain. If your pain is caused by a kidney stone or kidney injury, excessive movement or exercise could cause your kidney to bleed. Lying on your side could aggravate your kidney pain. A hot pad or warm cloth may be applied to the site of pain for temporary relief. Heat improves blood flow and reduces nerve sensation, both of which reduce pain. Heat may be particularly helpful if your pain is caused by a muscle spasm. Do not apply too much heat, as this could cause burns. Use a heating pad, soak in a hot bath, or use a cloth that’s been soaked in hot (but not boiling) water. There are some over-the-counter painkillers that can fight kidney pain. Acetaminophen/paracetamol is commonly recommended for pain caused by infections and kidney stones. Consult with your doctor before taking any pain medication, as some can increase kidney problems or interact with other medical conditions.  Do not take high-dose aspirin. Aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding and can worsen any vascular obstruction, like a kidney stone. NSAIDs can be dangerous if you have decreased kidney function. Do not take ibuprofen or naproxen if you already have a kidney condition, unless it's recommended by your doctor. Antibiotics should be used if you have any kind of urinary tract infection. Kidney stones can cause stagnant urine to get backed up in the kidney, which in turn...

Article in English: This is the sort of thing you’d find on a museum or gallery label, or in the caption in an art book. Knowing the background of a piece can make a big difference in how you interpret and understand it. Start your critique by providing the following information:  Title of the work Artist’s name When the piece was created Where it was made The types of media used to create the work (e.g., oil paint on canvas) The exact size of the work Using neutral terms, describe the artwork. Your description should include things like the form and scale of the work. If the art depicts figures or objects rather than abstract shapes, describe what is represented.  For example, you might say, “This is a small-scale portrait painting of a young woman, shown from the mid-torso up, against a dark background. She is clasping her hands in front of her chest and looking up and slightly to the viewer’s right. She wears a pink dress, and a long veil that falls behind her head.” Avoid using terms like “beautiful,” “ugly,” “good,” or “bad.” At this point, you’re just talking about what you see, not judging the art! Now describe the work in more detail. Talk about the way the art uses these five basic elements of art and design: line, color, space, light, and shape. Lines in a work of art can be either literal or implied. Different types of lines can create different moods or effects. For example:  Curved lines can create a calming effect, while jagged lines might feel harsher, or create a sense of energy. Rough, sketchy lines create a sense of movement and freedom, while smooth, solid lines feel more still and carefully planned. A line of sight or action might be suggested by the arrangement of figures and objects within a scene. For example, a group of figures all looking or pointing the same way can create an implied line that draws your eye through the work in a particular direction. Make note of characteristics like hue (red, green, blue, etc.), value (lightness or darkness), and intensity. Look at overall color schemes, and think...

Article in English: This is the standard way of saying “thank you” in Cantonese.  Cantonese is spoken mainly within southern China. Outside of mainland China, it is spoken by most people living in Hong Kong and Macau. It is also spoken within many overseas Chinese communities in Southeast Asia, Canada, Brazil, Peru, Cuba, Panama, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and the United States. Even though this is the most common way of saying “thanks” in Cantonese, it is almost always used in response to thanking for someone for a tangible gift. Thanking someone for a favor requires a different term. In native Chinese characters, spell the response out as 多謝. A rough pronunciation of do jeh is daw-djyeh. If you are thanking someone for a gift in advance, say "doh je sin” (with a long I sound) instead of “doh je.” It literally means, "Thank you first". If someone performed a service or favor for you, this would be the correct way of thanking him or her in Cantonese.  This response would not usually be used when thanking someone for a physical gift. It is generally used for services. For instance, you would say “m goi” to a server at a restaurant after he or she refills your glass but not as a response to a birthday present. Using Chinese characters, m goi is written as 唔該. A rough pronunciation of m goi is mm goy. The mm is said in a fairly neutral tone, while the goi or goy rises toward the end. Switch to "m goi nei sin" when you are thanking someone for a service before that service is actually performed.

Article in English: This is the step that is referred to as “baking,” although the application of the concealer is just as important. You can use your blending brush, your damp makeup sponge, or a clean makeup sponge or wedge. Spray your applicator of choice with a bit of makeup setting spray.  Dip the brush, sponge, or wedge into the same translucent powder you used previously. Apply it thickly under your eyes, as well as any other areas of your face where you applied concealer. Apply the translucent powder extremely generously to underneath your eyes, as well as the concealer on your chin, under the hollows of your cheeks, the bridge of your nose, and your forehead. Continue dipping the brush into the translucent powder to pack plenty of product over your concealer. After you're done applying the translucent powder, you will look silly. Don't worry – that's simply part of the baking process! It should look thick and clownish as it “bakes.” The translucent powder allows the heat from your face to set your liquid foundation and concealer firmly into place, so give it about five or ten minutes to bake fully.

Article in English: This is the stuff that is sandwiched between the pretty parts of your quilt. There may seem like a billion options to choose from (and there are), making the process fairly intimidating. But sticking to the basics now will ensure your success later. Mainly, you need to consider the loft and fiber of your fabric.  Loft is a fancy term for how thick your batting is. A low loft means the batting is thin. A low-loft fabric is easier to work with, but will result in a thinner product. Fiber is what material your batting is made of. Polyester, 100% cotton, and a cotton/poly blend are your three most common options and none is necessarily better than the others. Wool and silk are also available, but they're a bit pricier. And a recent mover on the scene is bamboo, but that's just strange.  Polyester - A cheap option that's better for hand-quilting if it's low-loft. It doesn't need to be quilted closely together, though it does tend to shift and the fibers can migrate to the edges of the quilt over time. Cotton - This is a good option for machine quilting. It should be quilted closely. It will shrink a bit, but it shouldn't pill. The 100% kind feels like flannel. Cotton blend (usually 80% cotton/20% polyester) - Probably the best option, if you had to pick. It's not super expensive and it doesn't shrink as much as the 100% kind. It's good on the machine, too. This should be the biggest part. The batting should be smaller than your quilt back and larger than your quilt top. The quilt top will be the smallest. Just so long as it’s a few inches bigger on all sides than your front, you’re fine.  The reason a back needs to be bigger is because you’re usually quilting from the top of the quilt and the batting and backing can shift slightly underneath. The extra inches are your insurance policy that your back doesn’t suddenly become smaller than the front. Basting a very important step in the quilting process. It seems tedious, but doing it carefully will result in a professional-looking finished project. Basting is a way...

Article in English: This is the surest way to identify a dead hermit crab. If your hermit crab dies, it will begin to decompose – and its carcass will begin to smell putrid. If you can't smell anything, pick the crab out of the tank to get a closer whiff. If you smell a salty, rotten scent, there's a good chance that your crab has passed away. Hermit crabs periodically shed their exoskeleton, and this process often involves losing body parts. The crabs are immobile for a short time while it regains muscle control and its new exoskeleton hardens up. If you disturb your crab while it is molting, you may seriously endanger it – so be patient. Assume molting before death. This can be a sign that the crab is dead, or it can just be a by-product of the molting process. If you find what appear to be a dead crab next to a shell, have a closer look to see if it is just an exoskeleton. If is it hollow and crumbles easily, it is an old exoskeleton. Look inside the nearby shell, and you might find a freshly-molted crab hiding out. If the immobile crab is obviously not an exoskeleton, try picking it up to see if it moves. If it does not react, it's probably dead. If you can't figure out whether your crab is dead, move it to a new location and note exactly how it is positioned. Try placing food on the other side of the tank to give the crab a motivation to move. Leave the tank, then come back to check within the next few hours. If the crab moved while you were gone, then you know it's alive. If not, it may be sleeping or molting. It is perfectly natural for hermit crabs to bury themselves; this can indicate that the crab is molting, or just that it feels threatened. Smooth the sand around his hiding spot, then look for tracks to get an idea if he is coming up at night for food. If it has been weeks since your crab buried itself, you can carefully sweep off a bit of sand from around his hiding spot to check for a rotting smell.

Summary in Russian:

Article in English: This is the time it takes an average college student to read the pages of a textbook. Keep this in mind as you schedule time for your reading. For instance, if you have to read 73 pages for an assignment, that is 365 minutes, or approximately six hours of reading. If you calculate that you have four hours of reading, we don't recommend trying to do all of it at one time. You may become tired and unfocused. Read for an hour at your lunch break, an hour in the evening, etc. Try to spread it out a bit, taking into consideration how many days you have to complete the assigned number of pages and the hours it will take you to read them. If you fall behind, you will find yourself skimming and speed-reading, which causes you to miss important information. Schedule some time to read each day so you can chip away at the assignment slowly and less stressfully. This is very important. You can't be expected to comprehend lots of information if there is noise around.  Avoid reading in your bed if possible. Your brain most likely associates your bed with sleep, and it will want to do that if you are reading there. Sleep experts also say that doing “work” in bed can lead to sleeping problems, and only relaxing reading and activities should be done in bed so you don't start having a hard time falling and staying asleep. Go to a quiet room in your house, the library, a quiet coffee shop, or a park to read. Anywhere that has little distractions for you is best. If you have a family (or roommates) or have lots of responsibilities at home, go out. If having any people around at all distracts you, but your home is fairly quiet, stay in. Whatever works for you; you may have to experiment and see where you can study best. Are you being asked to write a paper, or do you have a big test that covers the assigned material? If there is a test, did the instructor offer a study guide? Take all of this into account as you focus on what you should spend the most time reviewing while you study. If you read carefully, highlighted and took...

Article in English: This is the total of all salaries, wages, benefits, pensions and social security contributions. Rent is simply the total income earned from property ownership. All interest (money earned by supplying capital) must be added. Proprietor's income is the money earned by business owners, including incorporated businesses, partnerships and sole proprietor-ships. This is the income earned by stockholders. This is all sales tax, business property tax and license fees. This is the decrease in value of goods. To calculate this, take the total payments received by domestic citizens from foreign entities and subtract the total payments sent to foreign entities for domestic production.

Article in English: This is the trickiest part of signaling the girl you like with a third party. Even your close friends may have different ideas of what is "helpful," and in some cases they may say too much when trying to help you. If you plan on trusting someone else to help play matchmaker between you and the girl you like, it's best to be honest and clear with your helper. You might tell that person:  "There's this girl I really like, but I'm super shy telling her how I feel, and I need some help. I was wondering if you could ask her if she's interested in anyone or if she is seeing someone?" "Please don't tell anyone about this, but I really like this girl. I'm having the hardest time telling her how I feel. Could you help me figure out if she likes me?" The more often she hears good things about you, the more likely she is to associate you with those positive traits. You might have a close friend that you trust bring up your talents, skills, and accomplishments around her.  You should be careful when selecting the person who will brag about you to her. Some people may go over the top, which could be a more obvious signal that you like her than you want.  Choose a few of your best characteristics and instruct your friend to talk about them. For example, you might ask your friend, "Could you mention the soccer game that I won for our team last night to the girl I like?" If her friends like you, it's much more likely that she'll like you as well. Additionally, if her friends like you, they'll say good things about you to her when you're not around. In some cases, girls may be worried that you won't fit in well with her life or friend group.  Gain her friends' approval by helping out. You could offer help on homework in a subject you know well, if you're handy you could offer to fix something you notice is broken, you could treat her friends to a snack, and so on. In some cases, this might cause jealousy between the girl you like and her friends. This might make her think of you in a more romantic light, but it might also...

Article in English: This is the type of argument that appeals to and rests on logic and reason. It tends to have facts and sources to back it up and tends also to be made up of inductive and deductive reasoning.  Inductive means that it takes a specific representation of a case or facts and then draws conclusions based on those facts. You have to base this type of reasoning on a fair amount of reliable and supported evidence. Deductive reasoning tends to begin with a generalization or conclusion and then applies it to a specific case. You have to base your generalization on a lot of reliable evidence, however. Twisting facts to support a hasty claim is not going to help you. This is the ethical appeal that tends to be based on character, credibility, or reliability of the source or the person. Ways to establish credibility or to check for the credibility of your sources include:  Double-check and triple-check the sources with other sources to make sure that the argument is supported by multiple claims. Make sure that the author or yourself are using actual, factually-backed claims, rather than information that is backed only by non-authorities, and so on. Make sure that you understand your position and the position of your sources. These should be clear and obvious from the start. This is called "pathos" and it tends to appeal to an audience or opponent's needs, values, and emotional sensibilities. There is a place for emotion in an argument as long as that isn't what you're basing your argument on.  It's particularly useful to use emotional appeals to make a persuasive argument. For example: if you're arguing about the situation in Gaza you might pair facts about the Palestinian death toll with an emotional description of an individual's story. Don't base your argument on emotional appeal and only use if it really supports the claim you're making. You don't want to use emotional appeal to distract from the actual issue of the argument or debate. If you have too many points it will be difficult for you to keep track of them all....

Article in English: This is the weight or pressure the air exerts on the ground and is measured in millibars. It is important to be able to read air pressure because pressure systems are associated with certain weather patterns.  The average air pressure system measures 1013 mb (29.92 inches of mercury).  A typical strong high pressure system measures around 1030 mb (30.42 inches of mercury). A typical low pressure system measures around 1000 mb (29.54 inches of mercury. To read air pressure on a surface analysis weather map, check for isobars (iso = equal, bar = pressure) – plain, curved lines that indicate areas of equal air pressure. Isobars play a major role in determining the speed and direction of wind.  When the isobars form concentric closed (but not always round) circles, the smallest circle in the center indicates a pressure center. This can be either a high-pressure system (depicted by an "H" in English, "A" in Spanish) or a low pressure system (depicted by an "L" in English, "B" in Spanish).  Air does not flow "down" pressure gradients; it flows "around" them due to the Coriolis effect (Earth spinning).  Hence, wind direction is indicated by the isobars, counterclockwise around lows (cyclonic flow) and clockwise around highs (anticyclonic) in the northern hemisphere, thus creating wind. The closer the isobars are to one another, the stronger the winds. These storms are characterized by increased cloudiness, winds, temperatures, and chance of precipitation. They are represented on a weather map by isobars that are close together with arrows traveling clockwise (Southern Hemisphere) or counter-clockwise (Northern Hemisphere), usually with a "T" in the middle isobar, which forms a round circle (the letter can vary, however, depending on the language the weather report is presented in).  Radar imagery can show low-pressure systems. Tropical cyclones (South Pacific) are also named hurricanes around America or typhoons in coastal Asia. These conditions indicate clear, calm weather with reduced chance of precipitation....

Article in English: This is the “to the nearest” value. This might be explicitly stated (for example, “The building was measured to the nearest foot.”), but it doesn’t have to be. To determine the measuring unit, just look at what place value the measurement is rounded to. For example, if the measured length of a building is stated as 357 feet, you know that the building was measured to the nearest foot. So, the measuring unit is 1 foot. The maximum possible error is 12{\displaystyle {\frac {1}{2}}} the unit of measure. You might see it listed as ±{\displaystyle \pm } a number. For example, if the unit of measure is a foot, the maximum possible error is .5 ft. So you might see that the measurement of a building is 357±.5ft{\displaystyle 357\pm .5ft}. This means that the actual value of the building’s length could be .5 ft less or .5 ft more than the measured value. If it was any less/more, the measured value would have been 356 or 358 feet. Since absolute error is always positive, take the absolute value of this difference, ignoring any negative signs. This will give you the absolute error. For example, if you find the measurement of a building to be 357±.5ft{\displaystyle 357\pm .5ft}, the absolute error is .5 ft.

Article in English: This is time-tested tactic for getting what you really want. It’s simple. If you want to manipulate someone, you should first make an unreasonable request, wait for the person to reject you, and then follow it up by a more reasonable request. It will sound much more appealing to your victim in comparison to the first request as used by salesperson. For example, if you want your employee to come in early the next day, just say, “Would you mind leading the new project? You’ll just have to come in to work two hours early for the next few months.” When your employee shakes his head, just say, “Oh, all right. But would you mind coming in early tomorrow to help me wrap up this report?” He’ll be much more receptive after the first request. Another way to ask someone to do something for you is to make an unusual request that throws the person off guard so much that he can’t think to say no. If you ask for the usual request right away—money, a ride, help with homework—people will be more likely to say no because their minds have been conditioned to avoid these tasks.  For example, if you want to ask someone on the street to sign a petition, you can first ask that person to help you tie your shoe because you sprained your back and can’t bend down. This will establish a relationship with the person and will make him less likely to turn you down when you ask him to sign the petition. If you want to get what you want, you can first make a person fear the worst, be relieved, and then be happy enough to grant you whatever you want. This is a mean little trick but it’ll get you results. For example, you could tell your friend, “You know, when I was driving your car, I heard the most terrible noise and was sure that your engine died. But then I realized it was just coming from the radio—isn’t that funny?” Pause and wait for your friend to recover before you say, “Which reminds me—do you mind if I borrow your car again over the weekend?” Guilt is another excellent tactic to getting what you want if you’re manipulating the...

Article in English: This is to avoid dehydration. Constant vertigo can impair your daily life and provoke anxiety. You may become careless about food and fluid intake. Dehydration may concentrate the infected fluid in the inner ear making the condition worse. In the first few days you may feel severe dizziness and vertigo. You should take rest during this time to avoid fall and injury. After about a week you should start feeling better.  You should not drive or operate sharp machinery during this time. Sudden aggravation of vertigo may cause accident or severe injury. You should not watch TV or read books for a long time. This may lead to eye fatigue which in turn interferes with balance. These can help you boost your immunity to help you fight against any viral or bacterial infections. Such vitamins are:  Vitamin A: it helps by reducing inflammation in the ear and fights off viral or bacterial infection. Vitamin C: it is known to be an antioxidant which promotes healing and recovery. It also makes the immune system stronger. Vitamin B6: it is believed that it prevents or reduces dizziness. Vitamin E: it also helps the healing process to be faster and also boosts the immune system. If you experience vertigo or dizziness while walking or standing, go to bed to take rest. You should find a position that relieves your symptoms. Often you will feel better by lying on your side rather than facing up.  Change positions slowly. Sudden head movement shakes the inner ear fluid that inappropriately stimulates the nerves. If you need to get up from bed, do it slowly. Similarly, lie down slowly from a sitting or standing position. If you notice symptoms while lying down, try sitting up in a chair. They will just make you more uncomfortable. Bright light and absolute darkness both aggravate feelings of imbalance. Use soft light in your room. Similarly, extreme noise will aggravate your tinnitus. The aim is to give rest to the vestibular and hearing systems. You will gradually be able to cope with the altered function of these systems if...

Article in English: This is to make sure your parents are asleep. If you want, you can go to their room and double-check they're sleeping. If they are not and ask what you're doing, say you heard something strange. If not, keep doing things quietly in your room, but if your parent(s) lock their doors, carefully try to hear through the door. If it's quiet they're probably asleep. If not, stay 15 to 30 minutes in your room, and check again for silence. Line towels against the crack of your door to block out the light. Once your parents are asleep, stay up. It should be late at night (10:00-12:00 am). Get out the PSP, PlayStation, Wii, Switch, Vita, computer, DS, 3DS, whatever game you plan to play. Use headphones or earphones for electronics. Putting earphones/headphones in your laptop/computer will keep things quiet. A new day has come (12:00-2:00 am)! If you are hungry, eat a snack, or drink something. Continue playing the same game until you are bored. At about (2 - 4 am), early morning, try something different like reading a book, drawing, watching a movie (quietly!). Go onto Facebook, or create a Facebook account. Make sure none of your parents friends are friends with you on Facebook; they might tell your parents. Make sure everything you do remains at low volume. If you are going to text, put the phone's volume on silent or vibrate. This will make it less likely that your phone wakes up your parents. Between (4:00-6:00 am), early morning, have another snack. Keep doing whatever kept you awake most until 5 am. Next, move on to the morning tasks. Take a shower, get dressed, brush your teeth and hair, and tidy up the room again for the day. If the household typically wakes up between 6:00-9:00 am, stay inside your room until then. Do some puzzles or read a book, until it's the time you'd usually be up and about the house. That will mark the end of your all-night up!

Article in English: This is to remove any surface rust and other red oxides that would flake off during the process, as well as any pits or scratches that may exist. You can use either 000 steel wool or 600 to 1200-grit sandpaper to polish the metal. The chemicals that are used in the bluing process proper are caustic chemicals. Depending on which chemical you use to clean the gun metal prior to bluing it, it may be caustic as well. In addition to wearing rubber gloves when working with these chemicals, it's helpful to rig up the parts before dipping so they can be easily removed from the bluing bath.  Cut a length of soft wire longer than the gun barrel so that it is long enough to protrude from either end. After threading the wire through the barrel, bend both ends into hooks that can be grasped without touching the barrel and be suspended on hooks or a length of cord or wire outside of the chemical baths. Smaller parts can be held in a stainless steel basket. Parts should be immersed in the bath for 10 to 15 minutes and scrubbed while being immersed to remove any oil, dirt, or grease that could get in the way of the bluing process. You can use any of the following chemical cleaners, provided you read and follow all directions for its use, handling, and disposal:  One chemical cleaner that was reportedly discontinued contained sodium metasilicate, found in a number of commercial floor strippers. A cleaner that can be used in its place is sodium triphosphate, a component of a number of commercial detergents.  Some bluing product manufacturers recommend using naphtha, followed by washing the metal in a mild dishwashing detergent.  Some hobbyist 'bluers' use a special cleaning oil, followed by acetone (nail polish remover) to clean the metal, while others use denatured alcohol. (One such cleaning oil, a mixture of mineral and vegetable oils, alcohol, alkaline salts, and benzyl acetate, is sold commercially under the name “Ballistol.”) Rinsing should take no more than 2 to 3 minutes. If you've used dishwashing detergent to remove...

Article in English: This is true whether you want to get back together or not. You want to make sure you are both clear about what happened and why. You shouldn’t rush into anything and make a rash decision. Make sure you are somewhere quiet where people won't overhear and make both of you nervous or embarrassed. It is important to forgive and move on when you have a relationship issue. However, if the problems you both had in the relationship haven't gone away, then maybe you two just don't work together as a couple. If you are still upset about something that happened between the two of you and you are not ready to consider getting back together, then be clear about the reason you two broke up before and express any fears you may have about repeating the same situation again. If you have forgiven your ex and you do decide to move forward in the relationship, then it is important to make your expectations known. Otherwise, you may end up in a similar situation. Talk about what you hope will be different this time around and be clear about your feelings.

Article in English: This is typically attached the side of the telescope. It displays more of the sky than the scope itself. For instance, a 50 power telescope covers an area about as small as the fingernail on your little finger, whereas an 8x finderscope covers an area about the size of a golf ball. Telescopes typically come in two types: equatorial or altazimuth. You'll need to know which kind of telescope you have so you can learn how to operate your telescope.  Altazimuth mount operates my going up and down and side to side, making it easier for beginners to operate. It is more simple than the equatorial telescope. Equatorial mount swings across the celestial North to South and East to West. The polar axis (which is the rotating part closer to the telescope's base) needs to be aligned to Polaris, the North Star. It will then follow the motion of the sky around this point, moving from east to the west (as the stars move). It takes more time to get accustomed to the equatorial mount each time you want to look at a different star or planet you have to unlock the axis  and take aim at the heavenly body using the finderscope and lock it once you have the general location. From there you'll use the slow motion cable controls or panhandle controls to make the smaller movements. The equatorial mount is generally considered to be more helpful. You'll need to make sure that the three legs of your telescope are properly balanced otherwise the telescope can fall over and become damaged. When you're scouting out locations, always look for areas that have a flat, level area for your telescope.

Article in English: This is used for one-handed weapons which prove to be most efficient. At a crafting station, simply go to "Frame," and select it from the list of available frames. For this custom weapon a good combination of tools would be the plasma core as the top tool and the pneumatic torch as the bottom tool. They can be added at a crafting station by going to the tool section of the crafting table, scrolling through your list of tools and selecting them. If you choose the plasma core, go with a compact-directed ejection field. This tip will spread out your plasma shots further so that you can hit more enemies per shot. Keep the torch as is, this way if enemies get close you can burn them to a crisp over a large area. These can be added by going to the tips section on the crafting table and selecting the appropriate tip. The best ones for this weapon would be a damage support for your torch. This way the fire can inflict even more damage if you get into a bad situation. Also, for your plasma core you’re going to want to stick with a stasis coating. This will make it so that every time you shoot something it slows it down with stasis, allowing you to get even more shots off. These can be added and crafted from any crafting bench.

Article in English: This is usually a good way to gauge your relationship without the pressure of an intimate date. If you're having a get together with friends or going out to a club, ask her along or have a friend invite her. This way you can see each other in a social setting. Does she spend time with you? Do you have fun together? Trying to fake someone into liking you is a sure-fire way to start a failing relationship. You have to have confidence in who you are. If she doesn't like that, then you would not have made a very happy couple anyway. Feel more confident by focusing less on yourself and more on her. Someone on the outside can give you valuable perspective on her feelings for you, and give some advice on how to proceed. Find a friend you trust and confide in them to see how they see things. Do they think you would make a good couple? Do they think the feelings are mutual? How would they talk to her about your feelings? This can be a "practice round," helping you sort out your feelings. Does she make eye contact, hug or touch you, lean in when you talk, or sit next to you whenever possible? These are all good signs that she may have similar feelings. Closing her body off by folding her arms, avoiding eye-contact, or making excuses not to talk are often signs that she is not interested.

Article in English: This is usually a long white bar at the top of your browser window. You will type the web address into this bar (with the correct form), then hit ↵ Enter in order to visit the website. The search bar is usually marked by a search engine logo (Google, Bing, etc.) and a magnifying glass icon. You can still find the website if you type the address into the search bar – but it will take slightly longer. If the resulting page you go to after entering the address is a search engine, you may be typing into the search bar, or you may have spyware on your computer. Use the ← Backspace key to delete any other words that are already filling the address bar. If the bar is clear, you should see a blinking vertical line: this shows you where the words you type will appear.

Article in English: This is usually best if you're interested in going out again. You do not need to gush about what a great time you had, but just send something simple. For example, "I had a great time with you yesterday. Hope we can do it again soon!"  There's no need to wait the customary three days, as this is no longer considered dating gospel. You can send the text when you get home from the date or the next day. You can also text your date to find out if they made it home safely. This will show your care and concern for the other person’s well-being and may encourage further conversations. If the date went well, then you might consider sending a text within the first 24 hours after the date. It’s okay to be the one to do this and open up the possibilities for further conversation. Try saying something like, “I had a great time the other night. I hope you’re doing well today. If you have time, let’s go for coffee on Tuesday.” You should only do this if the two of you already follow each other on social media. Try replying to tweets or posting on their Facebook a little bit more if you're interested in them. This can show you've been thinking of them and would like to go out again. If you don't already interact with them online, however, suddenly adding them on Facebook may seem like a bit much. If you want to see them again, say so. Do not wait too long, as this can feel like playing games. The goal is to show your interest without coming across as needy or desperate. Sometime within the next 24 hours, send a text that says something like, "I had a great time last night. I'd love to see you again. When are you free?" If you've decided not to pursue things further, you should communicate this. This is especially important if the other person has been texting you expressing interest. After about 24 hours, send a polite text saying something like, "I had a really great time meeting you, but I just didn't feel a connection. Sorry." If you did not feel a connection, then it is unlikely that the other person did either....

Article in English: This is very important, as doing so will both ensure that your files are always retrievable and keep your computer organized. The easiest way to back up your filing system is to copy it by selecting it and pressing Ctrl+C (Windows) or ⌘ Command+C (Mac), open an external hard drive or flash drive, and paste the filing system there by pressing Ctrl+V (Windows) or ⌘ Command+V (Mac). You can then rename the filing system's folder to the date of the backup.  You can also upload your filing system to a cloud storage service such as Google Drive, iCloud Drive, OneDrive, or DropBox. Make sure you hold onto filing system backups for at least one year. This will ensure that, even if your computer is compromised or you delete a file you thought you didn't need, you'll be able to access the backup to restore the most recent version. Your filing system will only keep you so organized; if you want to take full advantage of your system's organizational capacity, you'll need to follow your own rules for using it. Some good rules to keep include the following:  Never store loose files in a folder that also contains subfolders. Empty the "Temporary" folder at least once per week. Avoid deleting documents, receipts, or other potentially useful items even if you think their usefulness is up. Don't hang onto expired or useless files. Back up your filing system once per week. As time goes by, some of your filing system's contents will invariably become outdated, redundant, or otherwise unnecessary to keep. While you may feel like you should hold onto these files "just in case", it's better to delete them and free up clutter than it is to hold onto them.  If you're regularly backing up your filing system to a hard drive or a cloud storage service, do this after backing up the filing system. Removing your filing system's unnecessary files while saving them in a backup will ensure that you still have access to them if the need arises while keeping your computer's filing system tight. When creating documents or downloading files,...

Article in English: This is very important, as if you don't show up for class, you won't get good grades.  Try to get to class a couple minutes early so you can unpack your things. Leaving until later what could be done today is asking for trouble and crammed results. If a report is due by Monday and you've had three weeks to do it, don't wait until Sunday. Try to work on it daily for a while until you are finished with the report. If you do not understand, don't be afraid to ask the teacher.  When you have something to share, raise your hand. If you want to take the lead in your class you need to work hard (sometimes, teachers don't want you to read ahead, so this is not always a good idea). Fill out the study guides if they are supplied, or make your own guides. Distractions during study time will make your studying less effective. This includes TV, people talking, the radio, and some music etc. - anything that is taking your mind off the task at hand. If you are thinking that you will totally fail the test, think again! When you learn something new, you will get smarter every day. These steps will help you to do this:   First, read the textbook over. This will help you on trick questions. Make sure to read every nook and cranny. Next, create a study guide on what you just read. Include main points that are likely to be on the test. If you already have a study guide given by your teacher, review that instead. Review your homework and previous tests. The test is likely to be similar to these. Get good sleep and eat a good breakfast before the test.

Article in English: This is vital. You need to choose a country that has a poor health system in order for your Neurax Worm to spread quickly and effectively.  Choosing a rich country will delay the generation of your DNA points, which will affect the outcome of the game. It's advisable that you choose India as your starting country because of its warm temperature; it's granted that your Neurax is used to hot climate. Furthermore, having China as a neighboring country will boost up the spreading of your Neurax once it crosses the border. Transmission affects the infectivity of your Neurax. To successfully win this mode, evolve Egg 1 first. The egg will make Neurax Worm produce eggs, which will eject from the host brain in the thousands.  This is effective in crowded countries such as China. This will also unlock the three key transmissions in this mode. Upgrade each: Bird 1, Insect 1, and Rodent 1 to have the Neurax travel in different living creatures to hasten the infectivity. Concertina Locomotion, found under the Transmission tab, has the ability to grip onto portions of the body while pulling or pushing other sections, allowing faster movement outside the host and increasing the infectivity of the Neurax.  This will unlock Undulatory Locomotion. Undulatory Locomotion has the ability to propagate flexural waves along the length of worm, increasing the infectiousness. If you have enough DNA points, evolve Undulatory Locomotion after Concertina. Evolving Undulatory Locomotion will unlock two additional transmission gene: Air and Water. Evolve these. The Neurax will start spreading to other nations, and the number of people infected grows.  If you don't have DNA points at this time, go back to the game and pop bubbles. Once you have enough points, evolve the Air and Water gene. Air can make your worm dehydrate to become lighter, allowing them to float in the wind, which is useful in countries with arid condition. This also invades planes, which can help the migrate to other country. Water gene makes your Neurax develop flexible...

Article in English: This is what your bow will be shaped from. It needs to be at the length that you want your bow to be, and it should be made from a wood that is strong, flexible, and malleable. Hickory, yew, lemonwood, and maple are all good woods to use when making a bow. A hatchet, vice grip, bow shaping frame, tillering stick, large file, heat gun, a few screw clamps, and a draw knife will make the process far easier than just using a knife and a large, round object. Make an outline of the limbs and arrow rest of your bow with a pen. Stand the stave up in one hand, and with the other, swing your hatchet. Make the stave as smooth on the sides as you can. You can decide the specifics (flat limbs, wide or narrow limbs) on your own. Mark out where you want your handle to be. Make sure it will bend by putting the bottom tip against your instep, holding the upper tip with one hand, and pulling the back (side facing away from you while shooting) towards you. Don't do this too much, as it could damage your stave. After you have gotten your bow into an outline with the hatchet, you shape the limbs. Place the handle section of your stave in the vice, and tighten it. Make sure the back is facing upwards. Take the draw knife, and draw it along the stave in long strokes. Do this until your stave is at the thickness that you want your bow to be.  Sand down any rough edges in the stave. Making your bow too thin will cause it to break.

Article in English: This is when you pull fibers from material to be spun and thin them down to form the size of the yarn you want to spin. If you draft more fibers, your yarn will be thicker; less fibers and it will be thinner.   If your fiber is in a long, continuous narrow strip, this is the form of fiber processing called roving. If it's in a wide, rolled-up bundle that unrolls into a wide rectangle, that is the form of fiber processing called a batt. Pick a strip about 12 inches (30.5 cm) long and approximately thickness of your thumb (this doesn't have to be exact). Hold the strip of fiber in one hand (doesn't matter which). Pull a few fibers from one end of your strip with your other hand. Drafting things the fiber down the the desired thickness for your spun yarn. The spinning process will twist the fibers, which also thin them down. As you get better at drafting and spinning, you'll find it easier to judge the size of your drafts. The leader is a piece of yarn that has previously been spun and can be attached to the shaft of your bobbin. Cut a piece of yarn about 36 inches (91.4 cm) and tie it to the shaft of your bobbin. Make sure that you tie it snugly.   Pull the leader through the orifice on your spinning wheel. Once you do this you're ready to begin the actual spinning! If you're just starting to spin, it's a good idea to practice spinning just with the leader so you get a feel for how the spinning wheel works, how to start spinning the wheel just with the treadles. You will want to overlap them for about four to six inches. You'll hold the bundle of fiber in one hand (the fiber hand), and the leader and fiber in the other hand (this is the drafting hand). You want to make sure that the wheel is going in a clockwise motion. This will create the "Z" twist in your single strand of spun yarn. Allow the leader and the fiber to twist together, holding them for a moment while they twist, so that they are secure.  Make sure you let the wheel take up the fiber as you draft more fiber. Overlap un-spun and spun fiber,...

Article in English: This is where the vocal folds are located; it's also known as the voice box. When it's level, it's in the optimum position for singing. Unfortunately, as we sing and sing higher, it has a tendency to raise.  Releasing the “swallowing muscles” is a good step toward reversing a rising larynx. If that doesn't do it, you can start singing in a hooty tone, which will also help release the larynx down. Finally, spreading your vowels (like smiling) also can cause the larynx to rise, so instead think of making the vowels taller and more narrow.  Put your hand on your throat and feel your larynx. Move your tongue as far back as you can; you should feel a drop. Consciously keep the drop while you move around your mouth and tongue; this may be difficult at first, but with a few minutes' practice, you'll get it down. Most people have a bad habit of breathing from the top of their lungs. Place a hand on your stomach and watch it move up and down. It should be expanding and contracting while you sing, not your chest. Go ahead, sing while laying down! Place a book on your chest and don't let it move. This is a visual reminder that you should breathe from your diaphragm. Each voice has a specific sound or two that makes it easier to reach higher. As you do warm ups, experiment with different ones. Stick to darker vowels. That means "ah," "eh," "ih," "oh," and "oo." Mimic an opera singer if you must. Do not mimic a Canadian. This is absolutely imperative to singing healthily and expanding your range. Everybody has their favorites and what works for them. Work with a bunch to determine what you like best.  Start at the low end of your range and do arpeggios going up. At the higher end of your range, quickly stop your breath making a "hup" sound and release with a siren-like "mo". Go higher and higher with each turn. Start on a lower note making a tuba sound, go up an octave and release at the top with an "aww" back down to the starting note (you may do arpeggios if you desire). Remember to have your mouth, lips, and entire...

Article in English: This is where the water will exit the growbed. This is a 60 mm piece of pipe with an airtight cap on the top. The pictured bell siphon shows some pieces cut out of the bottom as well as some holes drilled in the side––you want these holes to be no higher than about 1 inch (2.5cm) from the bottom of the pipe. The water will drain down to this level and will then stop. This has holes drilled or cut out of it to allow the water to come in––and to keep the roots and the media out! The cap is optional, but helps to keep things out of the bell siphon. The mechanics of a siphon is relatively complicated, but you are really only concerned with the practical application of siphons to allow you to quickly empty a growbed into either a sump tank or fish tank using a simple mechanical method with no moving or electrical parts.

Article in English: This is where you will make your fully customized Cassia obovata mix. Research the pros and cons of each liquid before mixing and decide which one will provide your desired effect. You can use anything from Chamomile tea to hot water or even champagne! If you're short on time, try chamomile tea for a fast dye release. If you have a lot of time, try lemon juice for a rich stain. The liquid does not have to be acidic, but most people find acidic mixes stain better. While this step is optional, it's fun and potentially rewarding to experiment with different herbs for scent, tone and conditioning that suits your own hair type. Some suggestions include:  Unbleached chamomile leaves can be a great blonde booster. Cinnamon can add warm red or auburn tones. Powdered cloves can mask the cassia scent. Rhubarb root, like cassia, contains a large amount of Chrysophanic acid, which makes it stain yellow so it's great to enhance the blonde. This will also stain your hands or clothes, so take care!
