Article in English: Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl using an electric mixer. The butter must be softened before you combine it with the other ingredients. For a lighter dough, beat the butter on its own until it becomes fluffy before combining it with sugars and vanilla extract. Add the egg to the butter mixture and beat at medium speed with an electric mixer.  Continue beating until the egg is fully incorporated. If doubling or tripling the recipe, add any additional eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. In a separate small bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined. Mixing the dry ingredients separately ensures that they are distributed evenly throughout the dough once added to the moist ingredients. Use an electric mixture to beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture until completely combined. If the electric mixer resists toward the end of the mixing process, stir any remaining flour in by hand. Use a mixing spoon or spatula to stir the chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed. If you plan to save the dough for later, wrap it in wax paper or plastic wrap first. Make sure that no portion of the dough is exposed to air.  Consider double-wrapping the dough. Wrap it in wax paper first, then wrap a layer of plastic wrap around the entire thing. To make the dough easier to manage later on, divide it in half before wrapping it. The dough can last in the refrigerator for 1 week. When placed in the freezer, it should last for about 8 weeks. The cookies should be baked at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) for 8 to 11 minutes.  Thaw the dough to room temperature for best results. Place the dough onto a greased cookie sheet 1 Tbsp (15 ml) at a time, leaving roughly 2 inches (5 cm) of space in between each cookie. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Article in English: Creams with antioxidants can be beneficial. They help absorb free radicals that can cause damage to your skin. Antioxidants to look for include vitamin C, vitamin B3, and vitamin E. These vitamins are particularly effective in a cream because they are able to be absorbed into the skin more readily than others.  A free radical is just oxygen that isn't stable.  As an added bonus, vitamin B3 helps your skin retain moisture. Though vitamin A is also an antioxidant, it does more than just work on free radicals. It can also help increase production of collagen fibers in your skin. Collagen fibers affect elasticity, meaning it can cut down on wrinkles. Retinol is a form of vitamin A, so look for that on the label. This ingredient can also help reduce wrinkles. In addition, it may help protect your skin against the sun. These ingredients mimic peptides in your skin. Specifically, they can mimic collagen or elastin, the fibers the help regulate elasticity. They encourage your skin to produce more of these molecules, which in turn helps reduce wrinkles on your skin. Certain extracts also act as antioxidants. In addition, many of them are also anti-inflammatory, helping your skin be less puffy. Two to look for are green tea extract and grape seed extract. Grape seed extract also helps you heal from skin injuries.

Article in English: Create a company handbook that lists out the steps that must take place in order to prevent accidents in the work place. Include instructions such as how to store dangerous and toxic items and where certain product should be stowed to ensure safe storage and retrieval. Discuss the current safety policies with this safety coordinator, and work on a plan to make sure that they are adhered to. Confirm that the person is aware of all the responsibilities associated with safety. Express your support to this person and arrange to meet on a regular basis to discuss concerns about and solutions to further accident prevention. Let your staff know on a regular basis that safety is a major concern in your business. You can do this verbally and you can reiterate your expectations in memos. You can also post safety information throughout your facility.  Words are one thing, but act accordingly, too. If someone encounters a possible safety hazard, move quickly to correct it. Don't wait for it to correct itself or assume that someone else is going to do it. Ask your employees whether they have any suggestions about improving workplace safety. One safety coordinator is certainly helpful, but a handful of ears and eyes is almost always preferable to just one. Create an anonymous input form that employees can fill out at their discretion. Make certain that your staff is following safety policies at work. Check areas that are of concern and ensure that precautions have been met. If you see an area that is cause for concern, discuss it with the person responsible, and then arrange a meeting with all the staff to further communicate the concern and ensure that it does not happen again. Asking your employees to improvise pretty much says that you don't take safety seriously. For example, if you have a storage area that includes high shelving, ensure that you have a safe ladder or step-stool available so that you or your staff members are not forced to climb on boxes of furniture to retrieve items. Training should involve methods...

Article in English: Create a file folder or a cabinet or box with sections for all your expenses, insurance, assets, income and liabilities.  You could label the folders this way:   House/apartment Income Insurance Medical Vehicle Utilities Taxes For example, under "house/apartment" you would keep mortgage or lease/rent documents.  Under "utilities" you'd file gas/electricity, water, sewage, tv/internet, and phone bills. Note everything you spend on entertainment, groceries, and gas. Some expenses are unavoidable, such as mortgage/rent and utilities.  However, you could reduce your monthly expenses in other categories by first determining how much you spend there and how much is absolutely necessary. Do this for at least three months to determine a pattern.  By doing this you get an idea of how often you eat out and how much you spend on movies or other entertainment.  You'll begin to see where you might be able to reduce costs. Write down everything you want to accomplish.  Include estimates of how much your goals will cost and how long before you achieve them.  For example:   "Buy a house: $200,000 with a 5% down payment. Save $10,000 by June 2020." This will give you an idea of how much you need to save to reach your goals. Let’s say you want to buy a $30,000 car.  You can take out a loan for $30,000 that you will need to pay back in three years.  You will have monthly costs (not taking interest into account) of approximately $833. This will reduce the amount of the loan and the interest you'll pay on it.  Be realistic in setting money aside, because you'll have to continue meeting your living expenses. By paying yourself first in this way, you can save money for retirement without even seeing it (and being tempted to spend it). Spend only a part of what's left in each paycheck. Try to save as much of what remains as you can. You may find it hard to maximize your savings, but as you near retirement, you will be very glad you did. Try to maintain an emergency fund consisting of roughly six months' worth of normal expenses....

Summary in Russian:

Организуйте свои финансовые документы. В каждую секцию положите все соответствующие документы. Теперь определите величину ваших расходов в каждой категории. Составьте баланс, указав в одном столбце все ваши доходы, а в другом – все ваши расходы. Поставьте цели. После того, как вы запишите свои цели, определитесь, какие из них являются краткосрочными (которые необходимо достичь в течение 5 лет) и рассчитайте, сколько вам нужно будет откладывать каждый месяц. Теперь вы могли бы отложить некоторое количество денег, чтобы сократить сумму взятого займа или чтобы не брать его, накопив полную сумму. Вы могли бы попросить ваш отдел по заработной плате перечислять определенное количество денег на ваш сберегательный счет до того, как заработная плата будет зачислена вам на расчетный счет. Вы можете воспользоваться специальной настройкой ваших счетов, чтобы деньги зачислялись на ваш пенсионный или сберегательный счет до того, как вы увидите деньги на расчетном счете.

Article in English: Create a list of talking points for yourself to guide you through the conversation. Write this list at a time when you are feeling calm and relaxed. This will help you control the conversation without becoming overly emotional.  Write out exactly why you want the divorce, and use this to help you express these thoughts to your spouse. For example, you might write, "I feel as though my needs are not being met by the marriage" or "I think that there are certain issues that we can't resolve." Make a list of reasons why the divorce would be good for you. For example, you might say, "We won't have to argue over little things anymore" or "We can pursue our career goals more freely." Don’t assume what would be good for your significant other. While it may seem difficult not to become overwhelmed by this conversation, try to use a calm, even voice and speak slowly. Avoid yelling, screaming, name-calling, or eye-rolling during the conversation.  If you feel yourself becoming angry, defensive, or frustrated, stop and take a deep breath. Count to 10 if you need to. When you are ready, respond to your spouse in a calm, even tone. Try squeezing a small stress ball during the conversation when things get tense. If your spouse becomes angry or if you are afraid that they will become violent, remove yourself from the situation. You might tell them something like, “We can continue this conversation at another time.” Statements that begin with "you" may come off as accusatory. These statements may incite anger in your spouse and make the divorce process more stressful than it has to be. Instead, use statements that begin with "I" to reflect how you feel. For example, don't say, "You cheated!" or "All you do is work." Instead, simply say, "I feel like we have grown apart. It's not working for me anymore." If your spouse begins to blame you or derail the conversation, end the discussion. You’ve made up your mind and getting into the technicalities will only make the process harder. Say, “I’ve made my decision. I don’t want to...

Article in English: Create a new playlist by clicking File, then hovering the mouse over New. Select Playlist from the menu that appears. You can rename the playlist by clicking on the playlist name in the right frame after creating it. The playlist name will be the name of the CD, and will display when you insert the CD in a compatible reader. Click and drag desired songs onto the playlist. You can also add an entire album at once by clicking and dragging on its cover image. A standard audio CD can accommodate a max of 80 minutes of playback, meaning that your playlist should run at around 1.2 or 1.3 hours maximum. (This can be found at the bottom of the window.) Since this is an imprecise way of measuring, some 1.3-hr playlists will be shorter than 80 minutes and some will be longer. (You will find out for sure when you try to burn.) if desired. There is a dropdown menu above the entries in your playlist, below the title. Select the method that you would like to sort the playlist. To put the songs in the order you want, click Manual Order and then click and drag the songs around inside the playlist. Click File, then select Burn Playlist to Disc. If the playlist is too long, you will be given the option to spread it across multiple discs. You can do this if desired or cancel the burn and modify the playlist.  If you’re not sure how to open the CD slot, go to Controls in the iTunes toolbar and click Eject Disc. This should open it regardless of whether or not there’s anything in there. You usually need to use a CD for audio discs. There are DVD audio players, but they are quite rare. In iTunes 10 or earlier, the burn will begin automatically. In iTunes 11, you are given the option to adjust your burning preferences before the burn process begins.  You can adjust the burn speed. Higher is faster, but very high speeds may cause disc errors on older systems or cheap CDs. You can choose whether or not to place a gap between songs. You can select your format.

Article in English: Create a scavenger hunt based around places that mean something to you and your husband. Clues could be for where you had your first date, where a funny moment happened, or somewhere you’ve always wanted to go. If you have kids, you can let the kids create the scavenger hunt by making up clues that go around the house. For a nature-loving husband, spend some time outside if the weather is nice. Go for a walk, hike, bike ride, or swim, depending on the season. To make his birthday even more special, explore nature during a sunset or sunrise. Get together with friends, family, or neighbors and play a game outdoors. Pick a game or sport that your husband likes — this could be soccer, football, kickball, basketball, frisbee — the options are endless. The game can be competitive or just for fun. If the weather isn’t ideal for playing outside, ask a church or local school if you can use their gym. Many museums and zoos have specific days when admission is free. This could be once a week, monthly, or on special occasions, so check with the museum or zoo beforehand to see if this is a possibility. This is a great activity for your husband’s birthday if you have kids as well, but can also be fun for just the two of you. Call or go online and visit their website to find out if the museum or zoo of your choice has free days. Most cities have free activities going on throughout the year. When it gets close to your husband’s birthday, do some research online or check the newspaper and see if there are any free events he might be interested in, such as concerts, festivals, or games. If your husband has a favorite charity or organization that he’s passionate about, spend time volunteering with him. Helping others is always a great way to spend a birthday and will have your husband feeling positive and fulfilled. Ideas for volunteer options include visiting your local SPCA, helping with a canned food drive, or even just helping out a neighbor. Treat your husband to a day of all of his favorite things that don’t cost money....

Article in English: Create a short paragraph that introduces the major themes and ideas you plan to respond to. Also state or briefly indicate your reaction to these themes.  Your introduction can span one to two paragraphs for a four to five page paper, but for a short one to two page paper, keep the introduction down to a single short paragraph. You can either introduce the work by describing how it fits into the topic it addresses as a whole or by explaining how it impacts your own beliefs on the topic. By the end of the introduction, you should have mentioned your "thesis" or organizing argument. In the mixed response format, you should bring up one issue at a time and respond to each issue as it comes up. Your summary of the theme and how the text represents it should not take up more than one-third of the paragraph, and your response to it should fill up the rest.  Note that this mixed response format is a better option when you have many loosely connected themes or ideas you want to react to instead of a single overarching one. This method allows you to weave your summary and analysis together more naturally and more cohesively. As you bring up a point or example from the text, address your own interpretation of that point directly following your mention of it. When using this format, you should aim to have at least three points to summarize and respond to in single-paragraph form. Continue on as you did with your first point. As you summarize a point or argument from the original text, immediately follow it with your own intellectual response to the argument. Restate your stance or reactions to the text in a short paragraph. If desired or appropriate, explain why the matter is important overall.  For a four to five page paper, your conclusion should be a standard size paragraph. For a shorter paper, keep this paragraph down to about three sentences. When appropriate, explain how the work has a widespread effect on the genre or community it fits into.

Article in English: Create a simple solution of carpet shampoo and water. Use about 3 cups (720 milliliters) of tap water to 1/2 a cup (120 milliliters) of shampoo. Stir it gently until it is well combined.  Another option is mixing together vinegar, baking soda, and water in equal parts.  You can also dissolve a bit of dishwashing soap in water, and apply that instead. Using a nylon brush or a rag, apply the mixture to the spill. Scrub it in, applying more solution as you need it. Make sure to use a rag or brush that you don't mind throwing out. Once the stain seems to have lifted, dab at the solution with old rags. Make sure you are using different rags in each step. Get up as much as you can with the rag, then let it air dry in the sun.

Article in English: Create a slip knot on the hooked end of your crochet hook using one end of the yarn. Note that the unattached end of the yarn will be left alone for the remainder of the pattern and is referred to as the "tail end." The end still attached to the skein is the "working end," and you will be drawing yarn from that end as you make the hat. Make two chain stitches from the loop on your hook. Work six single crochets into the second chain from the hook. This should form your first round. Note that the second chain from the hook is also the first chain you created. To complete the second round, make two single crochets into each stitch of the previous round.  When done, this round should have a total of 12 single crochets. Mark the last stitch of the round with a plastic stitch marker. If you do not have one, use a safety pin or paperclip. Work one single crochet into the first stitch of the previous round. Work two single crochets into the stitch that follows. Repeat this pattern to complete the remainder of the round, working one single crochet into each odd numbered stitch and two single crochets into each even numbered stitch.  When done, this round should have 18 stitches. Move the pin marker to the last stitch of this round. Work one single crochet into the first stitch of the previous round. Work another one single crochet into the second stitch. For the third stitch, work two single crochets. Repeat this pattern, making one single crochet, another one single crochet, and two single crochets around the rest of the round.  When done, you should have 24 single crochets in this round. Move the stitch marker to the last stitch in this round before continuing. Make one single crochet in each of the first three stitches of the previous round. Afterward, make two single crochets into the fourth stitch of the previous round. Repeat this pattern until you reach the end of your round.  You should make a total of 30 single crochets for this round. Mark the end of round five with your stitch marker. For rounds six...

Article in English: Create a thick paste and apply onto yellowed areas. Be sure to get the paste on every part of the stain.  Baking soda can be used to clean any bra: white, solid colored, or patterned. It is a mild abrasive so would be great for textured fabric. Baking soda also helps remove odors from clothing, so this may be the best method if your bras are retaining an unpleasant scent along with the stains. This gives the baking soda time to remove the stain. Sunlight will also help the solution work. Be gentle, as you don't want to ruin the fabric. Removing the paste before laundering will keep your washing machine or sink from getting gunked up. Laundering will remove the rest of the paste and leave your bra smelling fresh. Do not wring out the bra, but gently press the water out of it. Try gently rolling the bra in a clean towel to remove the excess water. The sun is an excellent bleaching agent, so this will help remove any lingering stains. Using a dryer to dry your bras can damage the fabric, including the elastic and underwire,  and leave your bras misshapen.

Article in English: Create a to-do list for each day. For long-term projects, give yourself a daily goal or task to help you complete it. As you finish each task, check them off to help you stay motivated. A schedule can give you structure, even on days when you feel unmotivated.   Use a calendar app on your phone or write down your commitments in a planner. Make sure that all of your deadlines are clearly written out. If you forget things easily, set reminders or alarms on your phone to remind you. Be realistic about how long tasks take. Plan more time for each task than you think you'll need. It's almost impossible to be 100% focused on your task 100% of the time, but distractions can keep you from producing work efficiently. Occasional breaks are okay, but when your goals start taking a backseat to petty distractions, it's time to banish them.  Work in a quiet place if possible. If your workspace is noisy, wear noise canceling headphones or earplugs to block it out. Ask family and friends not to bother you while you are working on something. Let them know that you need this time to yourself. If necessary, turn your phone off or put it in a drawer while you’re working. Taking 5-minute breaks every hour can help you refocus. Take a short walk, get a snack, or do some stretches. Avoid multitasking. Working on more than 1 thing at a time can reduce your productivity. Give your full focus to 1 task. Outsourcing is all about time-management. You may think of yourself as a superman or superwoman, but there are limits to your powers. Outsourcing certain less essential tasks gives you more time to focus on the things that are absolutely essential to your craft.  If you’re writing a novel, ask a friend or a copy editor to read through it for you. Instead of trying to edit yourself, they can proofread it and offer suggestions on the plot.

You'll also need a length of elastic to go around your waist, a headband, rhinestones, and a glue gun. Assemble rhinestones on your tank top along the neckline and extending downward in a V pattern. Use a hot glue gun to attach the rhinestones to the tank top. Measure a piece of elastic to fit around your waist comfortably. Sew the two ends together so that it makes a circle. Cut lengths of tulle that will be twice as long as your desired skirt length. Fold each strip of tulle in half. Tie these strips onto the elastic circle. The more strips you add to the elastic, the fuller and fluffier the skirt will be. Cut a large triangle out of felt. Wrap it into a cone shape and glue the cone closed. Attach this cone to a headband using a hot glue gun. You can also use a cone-shaped piece of foam, available from a craft supply store. Wrap tulle around the cone and glue in place with the hot glue gun. Wear some gold leggings and sandals to complete your outfit. Paint your nails to match your outfit.

Article in English: Create an account with a missing persons database, such as NAMUS. NAMUS, also known as the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, is a United States government funded website that allows law enforcement professionals and the general public to add and track missing person cases. Include basic details as well as photos and more specific information about the missing person. Provide as much information as possible that might help strangers identify the person you are looking for. Consider how they might look now as opposed to when they went missing. NAMUS allows account holders to make and print missing persons posters.  After you have created and printed some posters with information on your missing loved one, post and distribute these posters locally as well as in the areas where the person was last seen. Persistence is very important to finding lost or missing persons, so check your account daily and get involved in the website’s forums to connect with others who are going through the same thing as you are.

Article in English: Create an activity list. This will give you an opportunity to look forward to each new day that approaches, instead of pacing and worrying about if he will call. It is important to learn that your life should never revolve around one single person. That only sets you up to be devastated if they end up wanting a break up. This can be your time to shine academically or professionally.  Meet new people and try new things.  That said, learn to tell the difference between loneliness and solitude. Solitude is the time for you to reflect about your future, your wishes for the relationship and to consider your feelings about the break. Use times of solitude to write your journal, write out your feelings and prepare lists of issues you want to raise with your boyfriend. If you feel like the odd one out, you may end up losing your nerve and feeling awful. You might also make poor decisions based on what everyone else has; it is best to hang around with people in all sorts of different stages of life.

Article in English: Create columns for operating activities, financing activities, and investing activities. Open all your bank statements for the month you are calculating cash flow for. Your objective is to determine whether you had a positive or negative cash flow for this month.  A negative cash flow indicates that you are spending more than you are earning. A positive cash flow indicates that you are earning more than you are spending. You need to have a large enough positive cash flow that you can continue to invest in your company's growth. Add up the inflow, or money that came in, from daily operations and delivery of goods and services. Include income from collection of receivables from customers, and cash interest and dividends received.  Next, calculate the outflow. Cash outflows from operations include cash payments for goods purchased, cash payments for notes to suppliers, cash payments to employees, cash paid for taxes, fees, and fines, and interest paid to creditors. Finally, subtract the outflow from the inflow. Write this number in the "Operating Activities " column. If the number is negative, indicate this with a – sign or sign of your choosing. Add up all inflow you generated from debt or equity financing. This includes money spent or received from stocks, bonds and other securities. Include proceeds from sale of stock, money received from borrowing, and money received from contributions and investment income.  Next, add up the financing outflow.

Article in English: Create something that you both can access and share, such as an online blog or scrapbook. This will give you a new way to communicate while also giving you the sense of creating something together. You might create a food blog with your culinary adventures, Instagram your workouts, or create a special Twitter hashtag just for you two. Share your online calendars too. If you miss each other, you'll have someplace to look to see why. You'll also have something to talk about, as in "How was the concert last night?" This will make the distance between you seem smaller and more bridgeable. You'll feel closer together and you'll be bonding at the same time. If you're unsure of things to do, try one of the following:  Plan to cook the same meal on the same day. If neither of you are into cooking, you might just plan to eat the same cuisine or snack. Read the same book or article. You can even take turns reading it aloud to each other. Watch a TV show or movie simultaneously. Keep a call open and share your reactions. Use video phones to chat while having meals or watching movies together. Sleep together. You can both get on the phone or video chat and fall asleep together. Doing this occasionally can make you feel closer. If time zones are too different, try instead to be online to say good morning or good night to your partner. Choose a project you'd both like to do, like take an online language class or learn how to knit. Do whatever you're both interested in. This will give you a wonderful sense of shared history and you'll have something that really ties you together. It's also a great way to spend time together while giving you something to talk about. Take advantage of the internet. You could play an online multiplayer game or something traditional, like chess. Either way, you can chat while playing, giving you a greater feeling of togetherness. Try to do little things that let the other person know that you care. You may write love letters and send them in the mail. Or, send small gifts, cards, or flowers for...

Article in English: Create wooden planks by placing wood in your crafting menu and crafting the planks. If you do not have a crafting bench, use 4 planks, placed in a square, to create a crafting bench. This will create one wooden door. Note that you can change the appearance of the wooden door based on which wood you use. You could therefore have an oak door, spruce door, birch door, or a jungle wood door. Also note that any door types other than oak and iron only exist from 1.8 and onwards.

Article in English: Creatine powder usually comes in a large plastic container with a scoop inside for measuring out the correct dosage. Go to a nutrition store or health food store and select a powder to use.  Some creatine comes in pure form, and other powders are mixed with sugar so you can create a sweet energy drink. Avoid liquid creatine. Creatine begins degrading the moment it is mixed with water, so packaged liquid creatine is actually creatine waste. Manufacturers of such products are pulling a fast one on consumers. Creatine has been tested in multiple studies and is considered safe to use, but since it is a supplement, it has not been formally approved by the FDA. Check with your doctor if you're taking medication or have a condition that might be affected by taking a supplement. Creatine manufacturers recommend starting out with a high dosage of creatine and gradually waning to a "maintenance" dose to maintain creatine levels in your body. It is also common to forego the loading period and base your dosage on body weight.  Loading is said to be safe for the body and help the consumer see results - bigger, stronger muscles - in just a few days. Creatine may affect insulin levels, so if you have a condition related to high or low blood sugar, use caution when taking high doses. You may want to consider the more moderate body weight-based method. It doesn't matter when you take your creatine; whether you consume it in the morning or at night, it will have the same effect on your body. However, for best results, consume it at the same time each day so that your body has time to process one dose before you consume the next one.  Some people like to take creatine right before a workout, but its effects aren't instant, so it doesn't actually provide an immediate energy boost for weight-lifting and other exercises. If you want to take creatine on the go, bring a separate water bottle and store the creatine dry. If you premix it, the creatine will degrade.

Article in English: Creating a jumpsuit is a pretty easy project, but you will need some special items. Before you begin, you will need:  a pair of loose-fitting sweatpants a loose fitting tank top some stretchy jersey or comparable fabric in the print or color of your choice a pair of sharp scissors pins a sewing machine If you do not want to make pants, then you can also use a pair of old pajama bottoms for the pant bottoms of your jumpsuit. Then, all you will have to do is create a matching top and add the top to the pants. Choose a fabric color and type that matches your pajama bottoms. For example, if the pajama bottoms are navy blue and made of a jersey material, then select a similar navy blue jersey material for the top. Or, if the pajama bottoms feature a print, choose a solid in the dominant color of the print, such as red if the print is mostly red. Fold your fabric in half so that the print is facing in. Then, lay the fabric on a hard, clean surface, such as a large table or on the floor (as long as it is clean). Smooth out the fabric so that there are no ripples.  Then, place your sweatpants on top of the fabric. There is no pattern for this project, but you can use your sweatpants to help you make the jumpsuit in the right size. Fold the sweatpants in half so that the legs are lined up with each other. Then, lay the pants on top of your folded fabric. The waistband of the pants should be near the folded edge and the inseam of the pants should be facing out towards the outer edge of the fabric.

Article in English: Creating and sticking to a budget will help you to not only cut expenses and reduce debt, but it will also help you to save and build your wealth. The process of building a budget forces you to categorize your expenses into needs and wants, so you learn where you can cut expenses.  Also, it helps you to evaluate what you can actually afford giving your current income and expenses. If you know exactly how much you have to spend each month and prioritize your expenses, you will be far less likely to overdraw your account. Also, you can avoid having to pay bills with credit cards, which only increases your debt. This can be more challenging for some people than for others. If you are paid a salary on a weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly basis, it is easy to figure out how much you earn in a month. However, if you are paid hourly or your salary varies seasonally, it can be more challenging to determine your average monthly income.  Those on a fixed salary can determine how many times they get paid per month and multiply that number by their net paycheck amount to determine their total monthly income.  For example, if you get a bi-weekly paycheck, then you receive two paychecks per month. If your net paycheck after taxes is $1,250, then your total monthly income would be $2,500 ($1,250 x 2 = $2,500). If you are paid bi-weekly, this means you receive 26 paychecks per year, or two extra, because two months of the year have will have three paydays. Be aware which months include this additional payday. If you are paid semi-monthly, you will receive two paychecks per month, regardless of the length of the month, resulting in 24 paychecks per year. If you get paid hourly or your income is irregular for any reason, then look at the last six to 12 months of paychecks. Figure out the average you earn per month. For example, suppose over the past six months you earned $2,500, $3,000, $2,000. $1,800, $3,200, and $2,700. Add these amounts together to get the total ($15,200). Divide the total by 6 to get the average...

Article in English: Creatinine is a waste product produced by the body when creatine, a metabolism substance that helps convert food into energy, breaks down.  Usually, your kidneys help filter creatinine out of the blood. The waste product is then passed out of the body via urine. High creatinine levels can indicate a problem with your kidneys. High creatinine levels can be the result of regularly consuming a high amount of protein or partaking in strenuous exercise. Creatine supplements may also increase levels of creatinine in blood and urine. A creatinine test measures how much creatinine is in your blood.  Your doctor may also perform a creatinine clearance test, which measures the amount of creatinine in your urine. The amount in your blood should be low, and the amount in your urine should be high. These tests only provide a "snapshot" of your kidney health. They only measure the amount of creatinine in your blood and urine from one-time samples taken within the past 24 hours. The normal range for creatinine levels will vary based on whether you are an adult male, adult female, teenager, or child. The value you should be at may vary further based on your age and body size, but there are general ranges you should shoot for.  Normal blood creatinine levels are: Men: 0.6 to 1.2 mg/dL; 53 to 106 mcmol/L Women: 0.5 to 1.1 mg/dL; 44 to 97 mcmol/L Teenagers: 0.5 to 1.0 mg/dL Children: 0.3 to 0.7 mg/dL   Normal urine creatinine levels are:  Men: 107 to 139 mL/min; 1.8 to 2.3 mL/sec Women: 87 to 107 mL/min; 1.5 to 1.8 mL/sec Anyone above the age of 40: levels should drop by 6.5 mL/min for every additional 10 years of age There are several different reasons why you might have increased creatinine levels; some of these conditions are more severe than others, but all mean that you need to take steps to get your creatinine levels back to normal.  Renal failure or impairment: If your kidneys are damaged, they cannot filter creatinine out of your body through glomerular filtration as they are supposed to. Glomerular filtration is the...

Article in English: Creative writing students will probably arrive with a keen appreciation for great literature and favorite works, but a savvy teacher will review and introduce new literary works of art. Students will learn from the teacher and the masters who preceded them.  Teach your students about a variety of writers and genres. Have your students read examples of different genres. Promote a discussion within your class of the importance of studying literature. Ask students to consider the many ways literature improves the world and asks individuals to think about their own lives. One of the best ways to teach and promote creative writing is to make sure your students have the resources to write. Such resources include both creative resources and material resources to actually write.  Make sure your room is stocked with a wide variety of fiction stories. Make sure your room is stocked with plenty of paper for your students to write on. Line up other writing teachers or bring in writers from the community to talk to and encourage your students. A good way to get your students into the habit of creative writing is to have them write a series of practice stories using a bank of pictures and photos you supply.  Cut out pictures and photographs from magazines, comic books, and newspapers. Have your students cut out photographs and pictures and contribute them to your bank. Consider having your students randomly draw a given number of photos and pictures and writing a short story based on what they draw. This technique can help students overcome writer's block and inspire students who think that they're "not creative." One way to teach and reinforce best writing practices is to provide your students with audiences for their writing. This way, your students will have the chance to have their writing read by real people who can enjoy their work and provide constructive criticism.  Pair your students with students from another grade in your school. Allow your students to write stories that younger students in your school would...

Article in English: Creeping Charlie, like other plants, needs light for growth. However, this plant can survive even in low level light, like strong shade. Because of this, if you intend to use this method, the light must be completely blocked to the plant. There are many items you could use for this purpose. For example, you could lay down a large piece of cardboard, a heavy drop-cloth, or a tarp over top the plant for maximum light blockage.  When creeping charlie is growing among plants you want to keep, you might consider cutting a circular hole around in a heavy cloth or tarp. This way you can block light to the creeping charlie around the wanted plant without denying it of light. Any surrounding plants that are deprived of light will die along with the creeping charlie. This likely means you'll need to reseed your plot later. Stray wind, animals, or other environmental factors can cause your light cover to shift in position. Stabilize your light cover by heaping some soil, rocks, or some other kind of weight on top of it to hold it in place. To ensure the light is completely blocked, you should make sure that the cardboard is large enough to cover at least six inches beyond any protruding stems. In many cases, a week of light deprivation will cause the creeping charlie to wither and die, though depending on soil richness and other factors this can take longer. Peek under your light cover periodically to check whether or not the creeping charlie has died. When you notice that all parts of the creeping charlie are withered, shriveled, and lacking in green color, the plant should be dead. There is a risk of creeping charlie reseeding even after the plant has died. In order to prevent regrowth, you should gather up all of its plant matter, including roots, and dispose of it by throwing it away or burning.  Be sure you wear gloves when handling or removing creeping charlie directly. Many people are allergic to this plant.  Many places require you to request a burning permit to prevent false fire alarms. Be sure you have a...

Article in English: Cricket requires a few pieces of specialized equipment to play with safety. At the bare minimum, 6 stumps, 4 bails, 2 cricket bats and 1 ball are required. Most teams also have uniforms, and safety gear for the wicket-keeper.  Stumps and bails are wooden pieces that are assembled to create the wicket, one of the most important objects in cricket. Setting up wickets is described in greater detail at the end of this section. The cricket bat is a large bat made of willow wood that is flat on one side and bulged on the other, for strength. The ball should be hit with the flat part of the bat for the best distance on a hit. The cricket ball is similar to a baseball in size and composition, but is sewn in a straight line rather than a tennis ball pattern, creating 2 equal hemispheres separated by stitching. Cricket balls are traditionally red with white stitching; in modern times, white balls are sometimes used for better visibility during “limited over” games (which generally go into the night), where coloured uniforms are worn rather than the traditional white. Cricket uniforms consist of long pants, a shirt (which may be long- or short-sleeved), and shoes. Most cricket players wear cleats (spike-tread shoes) for better grip on the field, but it isn't required. In games with a traditional red ball, outfits must always be white or off-white. Team colours may be used for games with white balls. The wicket-keeper (a ball catcher) is allowed to wear safety equipment similar to that of a baseball catcher's: webbed mitts, shin guards, and a helmet. No other player is allowed to wear protective equipment in the field unless they are close to the batsmen in which case they get to wear a helmet and shin guards. Cricket is played on a large, oval-shaped field. The field has a rectangular strip in the center, which is called the pitch.  A boundary line should be clearly marked all around the outside edge of the field.   The pitch is where the bowler (pitcher) bowls the ball to the other team's striker (batter). Regulation...

Article in English: Criticism is often painful, but you may find it easier to deal with if you think of it as an opportunity for growth and improvement rather than something hurtful or discouraging. If someone says something critical to you, listen actively before you get defensive. You may actually find what they have to say helpful. Before getting upset or rejecting the criticism, consider:  The source. Did the criticism come from someone generally supportive, whose opinions you respect? The content. Did the other person just say something vague or insulting (e.g., “You’re a jerk!”), or did they actually make a specific point about your behavior and how it affects them (e.g., “When you come in late, I feel distracted and it disrupts my work.”)? The delivery. Did the person attempt to be tactful and constructive with their criticism, or were they unnecessarily rude and harsh? Just because someone has something critical to say to or about you, that doesn’t mean they’re right. Weigh their words carefully, but remember that you don’t always have to take other people’s opinions to heart. For example, if someone says that you’re lazy, but you know you have been working as hard as you can, remind yourself of that. You might say to yourself, “I’m not lazy. I may not be able to do everything that they can do, but that’s because everyone is different. I’m doing the best I can, and that’s okay.” If someone says something harsh to or about you, you may be tempted to lash out or get even. This is unlikely to accomplish much, however. Even if you don’t feel good about what they have to say, you’ll feel better (and others will be impressed!) if you can turn the other cheek and react with kindness and civility.  Even if you don’t agree with what the other person said, you can still respond in a way that validates the person (if not their words). For example, you might say, “Thanks for the advice. I’ll think about that.” If the other person was trying to be rude or unkind, a kind response might unnerve them and make them think about how they...

Article in English: Crocheting becomes easier for kids as they get older, but typically speaking, any child who is able to use a pencil and sit still for a few minutes is old enough to learn crocheting.  Between ages 4 and 8, kids are still working on their fine motor skills. You'll need to take a hands-on approach to teaching and let the child take plenty of time to learn each skill before moving onto the next. Between the ages of 9 and 12, kids can begin learning and practicing on their own, but you should still be there to answer questions and demonstrate new techniques. Once kids become teenagers, they can usually learn on their own and are happy to work without supervision. Regardless of the age group, it will usually be easiest to learn a new technique when that technique is first performed by someone else. If you cannot demonstrate a technique yourself, try to find a video guide or picture guide that clearly and slowly shows how the technique is performed. Each time you use a crochet term, you need to explain what that term means. Some kids have a hard time asking questions, so you should try to anticipate possible points of uncertainty and address them as you teach. It's easy for beginners to forget how to start after they've finished what they were trying to make. Repetition is the best way to help a kid remember.  When the child you're teaching finishes the first row, encourage his or her to unravel it and remake it from the beginning. Alternatively, after finishing the first row, start a new piece from the beginning instead of continuing from the old one. Allow the child you're teaching to exercise his or her creativity and to work at his or her own pace.  Allow the child to select from a wide range of yarn colors and simple materials. Encourage the child to think of different projects that can be made with simple chains and stitches.

Article in English: Crocus flowers are easy to cultivate. They are naturally hardy, and naturally resistant to insects and disease. The problem is that each corm will only produce 1 flower, and each flower will only produce 3 saffron stigmas. At the end of your harvest, you’ll only wind up with a tiny bit of usable saffron  Although crocus flowers should appear 6-8 weeks after planting your bulbs, sometimes the flowers will not appear until the following fall, a full year after you plant your bulbs. In some cases, planting in spring can produce blooms in the fall. In the center of each purple crocus flower, you should find 3 orange-red stigmas. Wait for a sunny day when the flowers are fully open, and carefully remove these stigmas from each of your crocus blooms using your fingers. Once you have carefully removed all of the saffron stigmas, lay them out on paper towels in a warm, dry place. Leave them alone for 1-3 days until they are completely dry.  Dried saffron should be kept in a cool, dry place. You can store saffron in an airtight container for up to 5 years. When you are ready to use your saffron, steep the dried stigmas in hot liquid (such as milk, water, or broth) for 15-20 minutes. Add both the liquid and the stigmas to your recipe. Saffron can be used for rice, soups, sauces, potatoes, baked goods, and other dishes. Adding the stigmas along with the liquid allows them to release more color and flavor into your food.

Article in English: Croquet balls are usually color coded so you can tell whose is whose. Divide into two teams, so that each team has two or three balls, or have each player use their own ball. Usually, one team plays with the blue and black balls (and green if available), while the other team plays with red and yellow balls (and orange). In 9 hoop croquet, place it halfway between the southern stake and the nearest hoop. In 6 hoop croquet, place the ball a few paces between the southwestern hoop and the southern side. This is where each ball will be placed in turn, one at a time. Do not place the next ball until the previous one has been hit. It doesn't matter if you've forgotten which end is south. Pick one stake and decide to call it the south stake. Use the flat side of the wooden mallet to hit the ball firmly, sending it rolling across the grass. The balls are hit in this order: blue, red, black, yellow, green, orange. You normally only get one hit on your turn (but see below), and you do not get to hit a ball with the mallet if it doesn't belong to your team, so the players should rotate as well, alternating between the two teams. Note that you may choose who goes first with a coin flip or an aiming contest hitting the balls toward a target. If, for example, the green player goes first, play continues in the order listed above: green, orange, blue, red, black, yellow, then back to green. The goal of the game is to get your team's balls through the hoops in a particular order, and in the right direction through that hoop. You might want to use colored clothespins or clips that match the balls' colors to keep track of which hoop you are aiming for next.  In 6 hoop croquet, the order is: northward through the two western hoops, southward through the two eastern hoops, northward through the two center hoops. In 9 hoop croquet, the order is: northward through the two southern hoops, then in a northern zigzag through the eastern and center hoops, northward through the two northern hoops, hit the northern stake, then work your...

Article in English: Cross the left lace over and thread it through the next highest hole on the right side of the boot. Take the right lace and do the same thing. Pull on both ends of the lace to tighten them. You should see an X. Criss-cross lacing is good if you need your shoes to stay securely on your feet. Continue crisscrossing your laces all the way up your shoe until you don’t have any more empty eyelets. After making every cross, remember to pull on both ends of the shoelace to tighten your boot. You'll need at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) on each end of the lace in order to tie a knot. If you run out of shoelace, avoid threading the laces through the very top eyelets in your shoes. Not threading the top holes will leave you enough lace so that you can properly tie a knot. . Tie a bow with your laces as you normally would to tie your shoes. You can put the bow in front or behind the tongue of the Timberland, depending on whether you want your laces to show. If you're working in your boots, tuck the laces behind the tongue so that they don't come undone and so that you don't trip over them. Pull on both ends of the laces to tighten your Timberlands before you tie your knot or bow.

Перекиньте левый конец шнурка направо и вставьте в отверстие на другой стороне. Продолжайте шнуровать ботинок крест–накрест  до самого верха. Если в итоге концы шнурков оказались слишком короткими, их можно не продевать в крайние отверстия. Завяжите шнурки


Article in English: Cross the left lace over the right lace. Wrap this left lace around the right lace and pull tight to complete a basic starting knot.  Pull the two laces together firmly to secure this knot in place. Note that this is the same “starting knot” used in the double slip knot method. This starting knot forms the basis for many different lace tying techniques. Pull about 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.6 cm) of the right lace up and fold over into a loop.  Do not cross the ends over each other. Instead, simply pinch the loop closed toward the bottom with your fingers. Note that if you are left-handed, you might find it easier to start with the left loop instead of the right. Pass the left lace over the right, wrapping it snugly around the back of the right loop. Use your index finger to push the left lace through the center hole created in between the two laces. As you push the lace through, you should notice a second loop forming from the left lace. You should continue to hold the right lace loop in place as you work with the left lace. Grab both loops with your fingers and pull them outward to tighten the knot securely.  The left lace loop will be pulled to the right and the right lace loop will be pulled to the left. This knot is the standard knot used to tie most shoelaces. You can use it to tie your moccasins, and if you practice enough to create an even, smooth looking loop, the appearance can be quite flattering. Since it is not as secure as the double slip knot or boat shoe knot, however, you might find yourself re-tying your moccasins more often if you stick with this method.

Article in English: Cross-multiplication is a quick, easy way of solving rational equations. Unfortunately, this method only works for rational equations that contain exactly one rational expression or fraction on each side of the equals sign. If your equation isn't in proper cross-multiplication form, you may need to use algebraic operations to move its terms into their proper places.  For instance, the equation (x + 3)/4 - x/(-2) = 0 can easily be rearranged into cross-multiplication form by adding x/(-2) to both sides of the equation, leaving you with (x + 3)/4 = x/(-2). Keep in mind that decimals and whole numbers can be made into fractions by giving them a denominator of 1. (x + 3)/4 - 2.5 = 5, for instance, can be rewritten as (x + 3)/4 = 7.5/1, making it a valid candidate for cross-multiplication.  Some rational equations can't easily be reduced into a form with one fraction or rational equation on each side of the equals sign. In such cases, use a lowest common denominator approach. Cross-multiplication simply means multiplying one fraction's numerator by the other's denominator and vice versa. Multiply the numerator of the fraction on the left of the equal sign by the denominator of the fraction on the right. Repeat with the numerator of the right-hand fraction and the denominator of the fraction on the left. Cross-multiplication works according to basic algebraic principals. Rational expressions and other fractions can be made into non-fractions by multiplying them by their denominators. Cross-multiplication is basically a handy shortcut for multiplying both sides of the equation by both fraction's denominators. Don't believe it? Try it - you'll get the same results after simplifying. After cross-multiplying, you'll have two products. Set these two terms equal to each other and simplify to get each side of the equation in its simplest terms. For example, if your original rational expression was (x+3)/4 = x/(-2), after cross multiplying, your new equation is -2(x+3) = 4x. If we wish, this can also be written as -2x - 6...

Article in English: Crows are intelligent, and will quickly learn if you provide food regularly, and a regular source of food is very attractive to any wild animal. Keep it in small, shallow containers for the crows and other birds to drink. You will want it to be sturdy, so that cats looking for a drink, or a bird, will not knock it over easily. Make sure the water stays ice free during the winter. You may not get crows right away, as your food supplies may attract squirrels, blue jays, and other small birds. You may need to spread food for several days before crows follow the blue jays to your food supplies.

Article in English: Crows can easily rip into a plastic trash bag to start rummaging through your trash. Make sure your container is not overfilled as crows can get into the trash if a small part of the bag is showing. Look to get a container that has a locked lid. Once a crow finds a source of food, it will be back daily to forage, so it is important to always keep trash completely secure.  Cover and lock all trashcans. Secure the handles to stakes stuck in the ground to prevent bins from being knocked over. Crows are omnivores and will eat any food scraps they happen upon. It is important to make sure all food scraps are securely contained. Composting is a great sustainable way to get rid of leftover food, however open compost is very inviting to a crow. To compost food without attracting crows, make sure you cover your compost or keep it contained in a bin.  You can compost yard waste without attracting crows. Although crows can be beneficial to gardens because they eat insects and grubs, sometimes they will help themselves to your crops as well. Place a flexible bird net over your crops purchased from your local garden or hardware store. A four inch net will keep the crows out but still give smaller birds access to the insects in your garden. Before your fruit starts to ripen, drape the net on the crops or suspend it above the crops with a frame built around the garden.  Make sure the net is secure to ensure it will keep the crows out. You can also put this netting over fruit trees and bushes. Invest in a bird feeder that automatically closes when birds of larger weights try to feed. You might also try using a feeder with a wire mesh that excludes crows but lets smaller birds in. Clean up any spillage each day to prevent crows from foraging around the feeder. Crows will sometimes eat the hatchlings of other, smaller birds.  If a crow finds a nest box that it can get a hatchling out of, it will return every year to do the same.  Make sure all of your nest boxes are over 6 inches (15.2 cm) deep from the hole to the bottom of...

Article in English: Crunches are a classic abdominal exercise that can help tone and slim your waistline. This particular exercise will work the front of your stomach muscles. Remember that core exercises will not reduce your body fat or your love handles you need to reduce your overall body fat with diet and cardio for that. Strength exercises like crunches will develop your core muscles, but no one will be able to see them if there is still a layer of fat over the muscle.  Lay on your back with your knees bent. Stack one hand on top of the other on the back of your neck. Keep your elbows wide. Lift your shoulders a few inches off the ground, until you feel your deep stomach muscles engage. Raise up 1 more inch, so you lift your upper back off the ground. Slowly lower your upper back down to the floor. Repeat this crunch in three sets of 10 to 100. Once you feel you are ready for the advanced version, raise your legs so that they are straight in the air or bent in a tabletop. This version of the crunch will work into the sides of your stomach and hips.  Return to the original crunch position. Lift your legs so that they are in a tabletop position. Your knees are bent and your shins are parallel to the ground. Raise your chest until your shoulders are off the mat. Twist toward your right leg. Simultaneously extend your left leg out so that it is straight out and parallel to the floor. Reach your right leg out and bring your left leg in as you crunch toward your left to meet it. You will not be able to touch your arms to your inward knee. Keep your elbows wide, so that the effort remains in your abdomen, not your neck. Do two to three sets of 10 to 20. Similar to a regular crunch, this exercise also works the front of the abs, especially the lower abdominal muscles.  Raise your legs in the air so they are straight above your hips. Keep a slight bend in the knees. Flex your deep abdominal muscles inward. Move your legs toward your elbows. Slowly return to a straight position. This will work your lower abdominal muscles.

Article in English: Crush a single clove of garlic into a paste. You can also purchase garlic paste, but make sure there aren't a bunch of other ingredients added. Apply the garlic paste directly to the blister. You can also mix the garlic paste with a few drops of castor oil to make it easier to spread.  Garlic has natural antibiotic properties which can kill bacteria or viruses that could be infecting your blister. Apply a few drops of aloe vera gel directly onto the blister. If you're using gel directly from the plant, you may need to squeeze it out of the leaf and gently rub it over your blister. If you purchase aloe vera gel, choose a product that lists aloe vera as the first ingredient and doesn't contain other fillers.  Aloe contains natural anti-inflammatory and antibiotic substances that may help treat the infected blister while moisturizing the skin. Look for a pure tea tree oil and apply it directly to your blister. It may be easiest to drop the oil onto a cotton swab and gently dab it on your blister. You can also choose a blister ointment that contains tea tree oil and apply it to your blister. Tea tree oil has antibacterial, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. More research is needed to determine how effective tea tree oil is against bacterial, fungal and viral infections. Take ¼ teaspoon of thyme or oregano and stir in about a ½  teaspoon of hot water. Let the thyme and oregano leaves soak in the hot water until they swell up. Let the mixture cool apply the thyme or oregano leaves directly onto your blister. Both thyme and oregano are traditionally used to treat infections. If you can find mullein, yarrow or plantain outside, take a few leaves (or flowers from mullein) and crush them into a paste. Add a few drops of castor oil if you need to make the paste easier to spread. Apply the paste directly to the blister. These plants have antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Article in English: Crush aluminum foil into homemade "dryer balls" in order to reduce static cling when you tumble-dry your clothes. Compress the foil into two or three balls, each about two inches in diameter. Make sure that each ball is tight and smoothly-pressed so that it won't snag on the garments in the dryer. This can be a cheap and chemical-free alternative to commercial dryer sheets.  You can continue to use the same dryer balls for months. When the balls start to come apart, replace them with freshly-crumpled foil. Be aware that the aluminum dryer ball will not soften your clothing like a commercial dryer sheet. Furthermore, it might make your dryer a bit noisier. Consider whether these downsides are worth the cost-effectiveness. A standard ironing board is designed to absorb heat and moisture. Aluminum foil will trap heat and moisture around your clothing, which should speed up the ironing process.  Be aware of the risks of trapping high heat and moisture: if you aren't careful, you will greatly increase the chance of burning yourself. Use this method to steam garments that aren't iron-safe. Lay the the clothing on the aluminum foil, and hold the iron 1-2 inches above the fabric. Continually press the "steam" button to quickly steam out the wrinkles. First, line the inside of a bowl with aluminum foil. Then, fill the foil with warm water; one tablespoon of salt; one tablespoon of baking soda; and one teaspoon of dish soap. Soak your tarnished metal items: jewelry, silverware, coins, etc. Let the mixture do its work for ten minutes. Then, remove the metal items and dry them off. Fold a piece of aluminum foil until it is five or six layers thick. Then, cut it repeatedly with a pair of dulled scissors. This should gently sharpen the blades and increase the lifespan of the tool. Before you move a piece of furniture, cut up pieces of aluminum foil. Slide the foil pieces beneath the legs with the dull side down. These foil patches should help the furniture slide smoothly across the floor. Use crumpled-up aluminum foil like...

Article in English: Crush five or six tablets of aspirin and mix them with one-half teaspoon (3 g) of lemon juice and water. Apply the resulting paste to the affected area, then wrap it with a warm towel and cover it with a plastic bag. Leave it for about ten minutes and then remove the coverings. Scrape off the calluses with a pumice stone. Again, if you're diabetic, don't try this treatment. Also, if you're allergic to aspirin, do not use this method. One of the best ways you can treat corns and calluses is with a warm-water soak. This loosens the dead skin and helps with healing. Add 3 tablespoons baking soda to a basin of warm water and soak -- baking soda has a pH of 9 and is therefore alkaline and can disrupt the skin barrier. Or massage calluses with a paste of 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water. Soaking your feet in diluted chamomile tea can be soothing and will temporarily change the pH of the skin to help dry out sweaty feet. The tea will stain your feet, but the stain can be easily removed with soap and water. Sprinkle cornstarch between your toes to keep the area dry and protect the skin from breaking down. Moisture can make a corn or callus feel miserable and can promote fungal infections.  This is more preventative than anything and should be used to eliminate discomfort. Soak a cotton ball in vinegar and tape it to your corn or callus. Leave the vinegar-soaked cotton on overnight. In the morning, rub the area with a pumice stone. Make sure to attach the cotton ball only to the callus itself. You don't want to irritate the skin around it that is doing just fine. Pineapple peel contains certain enzymes which help in softening corns and calluses and removing them from the skin. Place a small piece of fresh pineapple peel over the affected area and wrap a clean cloth around it. Do this every night for a week. You can also apply pineapple juice to the corns.

Article in English: Crush food like Kobayashi. If you're not consuming enough calories per day, don't expect to see meaningful gains in your bench press. You want to add muscle, not maintain it, and in order to do this, you want to eat up to seven times a day, with each meal containing at least some protein and complex carbohydrates. If you do choose to take protein supplements as a way to increase your muscle mass, take the supplements, usually in the form of a shake, at morning, after your workout, and then before bed for best results. Understand that protein shakes contain large amounts of calories in addition to protein. If you are prone to weight gain or acne, taking large amounts of supplements may have unintended consequences. Your muscles repair and rebuild while you're resting and sleeping, so depriving them of proper sleep can be harmful for their development. Get rest in between workouts, and schedule enough time so that you consistently get eight hours of sleep every night. Sometimes, your fatigued muscles refuse to grow simply because they've been worked so hard for so long. Taking a one-week break, or doing a week of reduced weightlifting, may be just what you need in order to put you over the hump again.

Article in English: Crush the graham crackers first, then dump them into a mixing bowl. Add the sugar, then stir everything together with a spoon. You can crush the graham crackers in a food processor or in a plastic bag with a rolling pin. Fill the bottom of each jar with 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture. Pat the mixture down with the base of a wooden spoon.  You have enough mixture to fill about 7 mason jars. Each jar will be enough to serve 2 people. You can make smaller servings instead. Use 14 4-ounce (120-milliliter) jars instead. Scoop the cream cheese into an electric mixer. Beat the cream cheese using a medium speed setting for 2 minutes. Every so often, pause the mixer, and scrape down the walls of the bowl with a rubber spatula.  The cream cheese must be softened and at room temperature. If you don't have an electric mixer, you can use a food processor fitted with whisks instead. Scrape any cream cheese down the walls of the bowl first. Add the sugar and cornstarch. Beat them on a medium speed setting for 2 more minutes. Scrape the mixture down the walls of the mixer first. Add in the vanilla, eggs, and cream. Beat everything together for 2 more minutes using a low speed setting. If you don't have any heavy whipping cream, or would prefer a lighter option, try half-and-half or whole milk. Use a rubber spatula to help guide the batter into the jars. Be sure to scrape the bowl clean so that you don't waste any batter. If you got any batter on the outside of the jars, wipe it away with a damp cloth. You don't have to screw the lids on tightly. You will be taking them off shortly. They are there simply to protect the batter from the water in the next step. If you do not own a crockpot, preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). The water needs to come up ¾ of the way up the sides of the jars. Once the crockpot is filled, you can remove the lids and set them aside. If you do not own a crockpot, place the jars into a roasting pan or casserole dish. Fill the dish hot water until the water is halfway up the jars. The cheesecakes...

Article in English: Crying is a reaction caused by a heightened state of emotions and the relaxing effects of breathing can help you to stop yourself from crying. Perhaps you’ve just thought of a sad memory, you’ve been broken up with, or something tragic has happened in your life. Calming yourself is a big part of stopping yourself from crying. Focusing on breathing, as in meditation, can help you to control the emotions you are feeling and help you to restore a sense of inner peace.  When you feel the tears coming, breathing in slowly and deeply through your nose, then exhale slowly through your mouth. Doing this will both relax the lump that forms in your throat when you are on the verge of tears, and will stabilize your thoughts and emotions. Try counting to 10. Breathe in through your nose when you count a number. Exhale through your mouth when you are between numbers. Counting helps you to focus solely on your breath and not whatever is making you want to cry. Even taking just one deep breath can steady you when you are faced with something that makes you want to cry. Draw one deep breath in, hold it for a moment, and then let it back out. In that moment, focus only on the air going in and out of your lungs. Taking this deep breath will also give you a moment to pause before you have to deal with the cause of your sadness. If you are in a situation that is making you want to cry, but you don’t want to show your emotions to others, moving your eyes can help you to control those tears. Some research has actually shown that blinking may help stop the flow of tears.Blink a few times to clear your eyes of any tears.  Cross your eyes or roll them several times. Of course, you may only want to do this when you know that no one is looking at you. Aside from mentally distracting yourself (you have to focus to cross your eyes) it will also physically keep the tears from forming. Close your eyes. Closing your eyes gives you a moment to process what is happening. Closing your eyes paired with taking several deep breaths will help you...
