Article in English: Practice mindfulness while eating. Mindfulness is not a diet but a way to be present while eating, break bad habits and bring awareness to habits around eating. Mindfulness encourages you to know when we are truly full and pay attention to your body’s signals that you are full. The benefit of mindfulness eating is decreases over eating meals as well as desserts.  To help with mindfulness, try something new. Often we eat the same breakfast, lunch, and dinner on a regular basis. Try to switch it up with new recipes or vegetables and meats you don't normally eat. Pay attention to each bite. This includes looking at your food, enjoying the look, savory each bite, and spending a moment after to enjoy the experience. Turn off the TV and avoid other distractions so you can enjoy each bite. Your brain needs time to register it is full after a meal. It takes time for the brain to retrieve signals from the digestive hormones. It differs from person to person, but it is recommended to wait 20 to 30 minutes before eating dessert. If you find that you are craving sweets, try an alternative activity that alleviates your emotional triggers or helps provide that break between a meal and something sweet. If you are bored and you want to grab that bag of candy just to fill the time, try one of these other activities:  Take a walk Try mediation Write in a journal Chew sugar-free gum Another strategy for avoiding sweets is to limit access to temptation. This could be removing it completely or putting it out of sight.  Research shows that removing items or at least making it harder to access them decreases consumption. It provides more time to think about if you really, really need or want the sweet. You can try:  Throwing away all sweets and sugar in your house. Hide sweet items on the top shelf making it harder to reach. Place healthier items in sight, such bowl of fruit on the counter instead of a cookie jar.

Summary in Russian:

Практикуйте сознательное потребление пищи. Сделайте перерыв перед десертом. Найдите альтернативную деятельность. Ограничьте доступ.


Article in English: Practice on a low beam, or even a line on the floor until you feel confident; falling from a great height can hurt badly. If you're on a high balance beam and feel like you're about to fall, just jump off, it's better to be safe then sorry when you're on a balance beam. Before you get up on a balance beam or tightrope, let your mind flow and concentrate on balancing by repeating "balance" in your head. Good concentration will lead to fewer falls. Always place a mat or something squishy under you, just in case you do fall. Pointing your toes is a wonderful way for you to not fall, because it stiffens your calf muscles as you walk on the beam.

Summary in Russian:

Начните потихоньку. Задействуйте ваши руки. Сосредоточьтесь. Подстелите несколько матов на местах возможного падения. Тяните носочки стоп.


Article in English: Practice open body language by smiling at him as he speaks. Keep your arms relaxed and not crossed or tense. Don’t hide your hands when you talk to him. Exposing your hands and wrists to him so he can see the soft skin on your arms is actually proven to be very attractive to men. Head tilting shows you are interested and engaged in him. Avoid looking over his head, around the room, or down at your phone. This will only show him you aren’t interested. Leaning towards him is a nonverbal way of telling him you are engaged. This works well if you are in a group of people, but you want to single him out to let him know you’re interested in him. Leaning towards him will also subconsciously pull him towards you. When we are attracted to someone, blood will flow to our face, causing our cheeks to turn red. This is actually an evolutionary way that your body tries to attract the opposite sex. So blushing in front of the guy will let him know you are attracted to him and send him a signal he will definitely recognize. The positioning of your feet reflect your attitude towards someone. So if your feet are pointed towards him, this is a sign of attraction. If your feet are pointed towards the exit, this may be a sign to him that you are not interested. How you hold your purse when you are with a guy can actually be a form of nonverbal communication. For example, if you are clutching your purse tightly or placing it in front of your body, this shows you are uncomfortable and nervous. But holding your purse loosely at your side or not at all shows you are attracted to him and are relaxed in his presence.

Summary in Russian:

Улыбайтесь этому парню и старайтесь выражать свою открытость и дружелюбие. Наклоните голову и посмотрите прямо на него, когда он разговаривает с вами. Немного наклонитесь к нему. Не бойтесь покраснеть при нем. Расположите ноги так, чтобы они были направлены в сторону этого парня. Не стоит крутить в руках кошелек или сумочку.


Article in English: Practice telling a story a few times before you tell it to other people. Then practice the story with a few people that don't matter much before telling it to anyone important. You want to be comfortable telling the story and get a good feel for when to add in dramatic pauses, and when to engage that big, building tone of excitement. Make sure you know the story backwards and forwards and then focus when you're telling it. This is to help keep you from missing details that are important. It also helps keep the story consistent across tellings, which is important if someone is likely to hear the story more than once. Don't turn your stories into "fish stories". You know the ones: where each time you tell it it gets more dramatic and more epic, and the details change to become more mythic and characters become less and less real. Listeners tune out when they hear you tell a story like this. Reel that fish back in and keep your story feeling authentic if you want people to enjoy it. You want to tell your story and a good place and time if you can. Even the best story can be ruined if you have to stop constantly because of distractions. Make sure the environment isn't too distracting or noisy. If someone tries to steal the focus of attention, direct it right back to you. A listener's experience of a story gets even better if they are able to interact and join in the experience. You can ask your audience questions or find other ways for them to interact with the story, if you really want to step up your storytelling. The most important skill to work on is being able to respond to your audience. If they start to get bored, wrap or step it up. If they're really enjoying a particular part, build on that. If they're laughing, give them room to laugh. It's tricky, but telling your story around the experience of your audience will make you a storyteller that no one will soon forget.

Summary in Russian:

Article in English: Practice the piece without any regard to time at first. Once you know the notes and chords and have a good grasp on the order they are played, then you can begin to focus on performing the piece at the appropriate rhythm. Slow practice will make for fast playing.  Set your metronome to 60 or 80 BPM to begin with. Listen to the metronome for a few moments before you begin playing. You may want to tap your feet or watch the metronome to help you keep the time with your internal clock. Music is never equally difficult throughout the entire piece. Some spots will give you more trouble than others. Use the metronome at a slow speed and take it one note at a time until your hands become more familiar with required movements. You can also try adding in the notes one at a time to work out a trouble spot. Begin with just the first note of the piece. Play the note again, then add the second note. Stop. Start again with the first 2 notes and add the third note, and so on. Continue until you reach the end of the piece. Once you feel comfortable and confident playing the piece slowly, increase the tempo. Small increases are the best. Stick to about 5 BPM above the previous setting. Go through the piece until you are comfortable with performing at the higher speed. Then, increase the speed again. Keep raising the tempo slowly until you can perform the song at full speed. Make sure to play consistently with the metronome rather than faster or slower or you may learn to play certain parts of the piece at the wrong pace. Once you feel you have mastered a piece of music, you can try practicing the piece along with the metronome. You may not areas where your performance was not as even as you believed it to be. Work on those areas some more to become a better musician.

Summary in Russian:

Выучите нотный текст, прежде чем играть с метрономом. Начинайте с низкой скорости. Сфокусируйтесь на проблемных участках. Ускорьте метроном. Проверьте себя.


Article in English: Practice, practice, practice! To improve your singing voice, it is important to practice every day. Think of singing as an exercise for a voice. If you take a long break from exercising, you’ll be a sweaty, panting mess next time you try to exercise again. Even if you only have time to practice warm-ups in the car on the way to work, that is okay. If possible, set aside specific times every day for practice. It's best to practice for multiple short sessions than a single long session. For instance, practice from 9-9:15, 11-11:15, and 1-1:15 every day. Instrumentalists may be able to practice for hours at a time, but that isn’t the case for singers. An overused, strained voice is not a happy voice. Try to practice anywhere between 30 and s60 minutes a day. You should not practice for more than 60 minutes. If you’re feeling ill or tired, give your voice some more downtime. Do not push yourself if you feel that you can’t practice for 30 minutes. Spend the time you do practice wisely and intentionally so you can get a lot done within 10-15 minutes. There are also a few at-home vocal training courses out there, such as Singing Success, Sing and See, Singorama, and Vocal Release. They are not as pricey as in-person vocal lessons, but be sure to do your research to see which ones have worked for other singers. If you are dedicated to singing, consider taking professional lessons. Find a vocal coach or qualified voice teacher who can help you become the singer you want to be. Check with your local music store or your school music teacher for trustworthy references. Lessons can be costly. Consider how important singing is to you before signing up for lessons. If you cannot afford a teacher, or do not want the dedication that comes with hiring a professional voice coach, consider joining a local choir. You might associate choirs with church, but you can find them across a number of different organizations. Choirs are a great way to learn about singing and meet cool people who share your love for music at the same time....

Article in English: Practice, practice, practice. That’s the mantra of famous artists across the world, and practice is the sure-fire way to improve your drawings. Even spending a few minutes a day on sketch engages your brain with your art and helps you learn new techniques. If you always have a small notebook with you, then you open up the possibility to draw anything – from people on the bus the nature scenes to awe-inspiring city skylines. You need to practice to be a better drawer, so set yourself up to practice anytime. Pencils come in a variety of ratings that tell you how hard they are and the thickness of the mark. Pencils labeled “H” get progressively harder, and leave fine, faint lines, while those labeled “B” are good for thick, darker lines.  A decent set of starter pencils, available at any art store, might include a 4H, 3H, 2H, H, HB , B, 2B 3B and 4B.  Play around with your new pencils to test how each one feels. Note the differences in the lines and try to incorporate different pencils into different drawings. Use a couple of pages in your sketchbook to experiment with the way your pencils lay down color, how your fingers or tissues blend colors together and how to shade simple spheres. You need to understand how your materials work to improve your drawings and use the right pencil for the right lines. Make 3-4 timelines and practice transitions. How can you use each pen to shade the line from completely black to completely white? While many young artists feel like they can teach themselves how to draw, there are a variety of techniques that can only be passed on by an experienced teacher. Spend time practicing perspective, proportions, and drawing from live models. The time spent in an art studio with an art teacher can help you find mistakes and fix them far faster than you could on your own. However, you do not need to go to classes, you can find many different classes online. So if you like to draw in the comfort of your own home, online can be cheap, expensive, or even free. Check your local art store,...

Article in English: Practicing alone is dangerous because you cannot help yourself to safety if you pass out or begin choking or drowning. To be extra safe, make sure that your partner is CPR trained so if there's an emergency, they're able to help you out. This way you can stand or sit while going underwater. Treading water requires extra energy that uses your precious oxygen. It's also easier to get to the surface quickly in case you need air or have an emergency. If your vision begins to fade or you feel light-headed, go to the surface immediately. Risking your personal safety is not as important as a few extra seconds underwater.

Summary in Russian:

Тренируйтесь в присутствии другого человека. В первое время тренируйтесь на неглубокой воде. Прислушивайтесь к собственному телу.


Article in English: Practicing being quiet on your own can help you be more quiet when you’re around people. One way to get some great practice being quiet is to find a hobby where you have to be quiet and preferably by yourself. Try painting, creative writing, yoga, song writing, stamp collecting, bird watching, or really anything at all that requires you to be quiet and to not say whatever is on your mind.  Reading is also great for helping you be quiet as you process the words in front of you. Try going at least an hour without saying anything while you’re pursuing your hobby. Then go two hours. Then three. Think you can go a whole day without saying a word? You may be talking a lot – some may say too much – because you feel like you have so much energy and don’t know how to release it. So, find another outlet for saying all of the things on your mind that can help you get rid of all that extra stuff going on in your head. Working out – especially running – can help you get some great exercise while getting rid of that extra energy. So can taking long walks or cooking. Find whatever works for you. Talking online only fills your life with noise and most of what you say isn’t really that important. If you really wanted to talk to your friend, you would do it over the phone or in person instead of incessantly typing away at your computer, wouldn’t you? The next time you have the urge to go on g-chat to see what your 28th best friend is up to, close your computer and go for a walk instead. Better yet, take a break from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and any other social media you may be using all too often. These sites are filled with noise, with people trying to impress each other, and with meaningless words that you may feel compelled to respond to. If you’re really addicted, then spend just 10-15 minutes a day on all of your social media sites instead of spending your time checking them every chance you get. Wouldn’t you rather hear what your closest friends have to say in person instead of hearing what perfect strangers have...

Article in English: Practicing prudence means practicing counsel, judgement, and decisiveness. You can be prudent at home by offering counsel to family members who are arguing and using good judgement to try to settle any disputes. Use problem solving methods like active listening, rational analysis, and talking through issues to help your family members reach a compromise.  For example, maybe your siblings are having a disagreement about you should wash the dishes after dinner. Exercise prudence by suggesting that it would only be fair for the person who washed the dishes the night before to be given the night off and given the option of not doing the dishes that night. You can also use prudence to prevent more serious disputes, like a conflict involving money between family members. You may advise your family members to save all their receipts and keep a clear, up to date record on how money is being spent by each family member in the household. This can help to prevent arguments about money and spending down the road. To be prudent with your finances, make sure you keep the household finances organized and up to date by creating a budget. Keep a spreadsheet of all the household spending and costs every month, including items like rent or mortgage payments, groceries, utility bills, and cleaning expenses. You should also note any recreational spending done in relation to your home, such as decorating costs or maintenance costs. Being prudent with your finances will help you to prevent overspending every month and ensure you are aware of where your money is going every month. This will then allow you to make solid judgement calls about how to best use your income to cover your household expenses and manage your money. Make sure you are paying all your bills on time every month, from your utility bills to your credit card payments. Exercising prudence in terms of bills will ensure your finances are in order and you do not fall behind on your monthly expenses.  To help you be prudent with credit card payments, you may consider...

Article in English: Practicing what some doctors call "scent therapy" can engage new receptors in your nose, improving your sense of smell over time. Choose several strong smells that are pleasant to you and spend a few minutes every day sniffing each one. After a few weeks, your nose will be able to pick up on these smells more easily. When you start noticing a difference, practice with more smells.   Essential oils are very useful tools when it comes to scent therapy. Chose 3 or 4 oils with smells you like, such as lemongrass, cedar, vanilla and geranium rose. You can also use raw materials to conduct scent therapy. Gather a few small jars and fill each one with a different strong-smelling substance, such as ground coffee, dried basil leaves, a few drops of your favorite floral shampoo, and so on. Keep the lids on the jars when you aren't using them so the smells stay strong. When you conduct scent therapy, you should sniff quickly, rather than deeply inhaling each scent. This way you'll avoid scent fatigue. Another form of therapy you can try is experimenting with identifying different types of smells with your eyes closed. Practicing this over the course of a few months will enhance your ability to distinguish between different smells. Close your eyes and have someone hold different substances under your nose one at a time. See if you can identify the smells.  Start by rotating smells that are quite different, like chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon, or bourbon, orange juice and peppermint tea. As you get better at distinguishing between smells, start working with smells that are more difficult to tell apart, like strawberry, cherry and raspberry, or lemon, lime and grapefruit. When you identify and describe a smell out loud, your ability to perceive it is sharpened. Make a practice of talking about smells as you experience them. Describe them out loud using specific language, the way a wine connoisseur would talk about the characteristics of different wines. Make a point of noticing and talking about everyday smells. For...

Article in English: Practicing yoga regularly will go a long way toward helping you manage your anger long term. If you have a particularly hostile or irritable personality type, practicing regularly will help reinforce the short term benefits from merely practicing a pose once or twice or going to a class once. You need not go to a class to practice basic yoga, but you might want to go to a class in order to learn more advanced poses.  Try to go to class or practice a routine at least three times a week.  Practice for an hour to an hour and a half when possible. If you can't, even 10 to 20 minutes of yoga at a time can bring down stress levels. Sometimes it can be helpful for beginners to practice yogas with other to get the hang of the types of routines they can try. It is also helpful to assuaging anger if you are feeling the support of the group when practicing yoga. However, if you have a competitive personality, practicing in a group might undermine your efforts. For beginners and more advanced students, watching videos can help you develop a practice as they often include routines that last anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour or more. There are plenty of yogis out there with different styles such as Adriene of the YouTube channel "Yoga with Adriene" which is calm but cheerful, or more exercise focused like Brian Jones of the YouTube channel "Muscle and Mat". Adriene even has a video that demonstrates yoga for when you feel angry. Focus on the breath is a central part of yoga practice. It is essential to focus on your breath to get the most out of the yoga poses you are trying. The deeper the breath the better. Take your time, and continue the exercise until you feel calmer. Keeping a yoga journal allows you to see over time how yoga is affecting your overall anger. It can also be a place to document the pleasures and frustrations of yoga after your regular practice. In addition, writing can reduce the intensity of your anger.

Article in English: Practicing your skills will help you work out the bugs on your technique for hitting on girls, flirting, and approaching. This way, when you find a girl you’re really interested in, you’ll be a lot smoother than if you had never practiced. Consider:  Flirt casually with women you might meet at a bar. Smile to a girl walking by. Toast a woman at the bar. Then go back to having a good time with your friends. Avoid flirting or hitting on women that you know won’t be flattered or be receptive to your flirtations. Chances are there are several available women in your current social circle. They might be friends of friends or even your friends. If you sense they're attracted to you, you might want to consider showing your interest.  Don't be afraid to show your interest. If you're rejected, be polite about it. You don't want to damage your place in your social circle. Use your common sense and don't make advances toward women who won't welcome your advances. Online match services could be your ticket to finding a girlfriend. The best thing about these services is that the women you'll come in contact with are also looking for someone to date. The hard part here will be finding someone who you're interested in and is also interested in you.  Don't let rejection get you down. There are a lot of fish in the online sea. Sign up with several online services. Be honest about who you are and that you want a commitment. Any location that is frequented by a significant number of girls and where you feel fairly comfortable is a good place to start. Consider a place that is conducive to a skill of yours: music, public speaking, or a private intimate conversation. Go out and have a good time. When actively looking for a girl to ask out, try not to look nervous or withdrawn. Girls will sense this, and will automatically be weary of you. In addition, guys who stare and walk around constantly looking for women can come off as creepy. When socializing and looking for a girl to ask out, don’t hold yourself back because of your...

Article in English: Prayer can be considered a more formal way to talk to God because it is primarily rooted in religion.  However, you can choose to pray in whatever way feels comfortable to you.  While you can pray at any time and in any place, it helps to set aside specific times of the day to pray. Choose a time when you are unlikely to be disturbed and you'll be able to center yourself and pray effectively. Common times for prayer include: before meals or bed, after waking, during stressful times or periods of need, and during solo activities like exercising or a commute. Ideally, praying to God should occur in a place where you'll be able to tune out distractions during the few minutes it takes to pray. If you can't find a quiet place to pray, don't worry. You can pray on busy city buses, in the middle of crowded restaurants, and anywhere you can center yourself. You can pray while you're driving down the highway, as long as you stay focused on the road while you pray. As you get ready to pray, some people like to take a few minutes to prepare the space and the self for communicating with God. The way that you choose to prepare for prayer will largely be up to your own personal preferences and/or religious traditions. Some common practices might include: reading a few applicable verses of a religious text, lighting candles or incense, performing a cleansing ritual, taking communion, meditating quietly, chanting, or singing. This can be done beforehand, if there is a pressing matter happening in your life.  Or it can be determined as you pray.  You could use prayer as a means to have a casual conversation with God about daily happenings or current events.  Here’s an example, “God, today is my first day of class.  I’m really nervous, but also excited.  I pray that everything goes well today.” You could use prayer as a way to confess or get something off your chest, or you could pray for a request or a need.  “God, I feel horrible that I gossiped about a coworker.  I’m afraid she’s found out, and I don’t know what to do to...

Article in English: Prayer is vital throughout all parts of this process. Thank God for the worship session after it passes, even when things did not go the way you would've liked. Ask God for guidance as you reflect on the service and plan for next time. Shortly after the service ends, write a few notes for yourself about what did and did not work. Use these notes to as you plan for future worship sessions.  A few things you might need to work on may include diction, volume, and pitch. You may not know how you'll sound in the sanctuary until you actually lead worship there once or twice. Make adjustments to the way you speak as needed to compensate for things like echo and poor acoustics. If others critique you or make suggestions, listen to them humbly and with an open mind.  Some of the advice others give may not be practical, but some of it will be. Make sure that you're able to honestly distinguish the difference between helpful criticism and destructive criticism without letting your ego get in the way. Learning from your mistakes and mishaps is great. Dwelling on those problems and allowing them to negatively taint your thinking is not so great. Think about ways to correct mistakes of the past and let go of those errors as soon as you make plans to avoid them. Flaws and mistakes often serve as helpful reminders to keep yourself humble. Those imperfections can also remind the people you're leading that all of us are only human. If you accept your own faults gracefully, you can encourage those watching you to do the same.

Summary in Russian:

Больше молитесь. Делайте записи. Отпускайте ошибки прошлого.


Article in English: Prayer plants are shallow-rooted plants. So, if they are planted in a deep container with too much soil below its roots, the soil stays soggy for too long and they will develop root rot. If you are potting your plant, always use a container with drain holes so the water can drain from the roots and the soil. You can hang or set your prayer plant near a window where it will get indirect sunlight. Never set your plant in direct sunlight as the sun will bleach the plant's leaves. Find a corner where direct light cannot reach the plant and hang it so it gets proper light exposure and grows properly.  Proper light exposure results in a prayer plant with rich, green stems and colorful leaves. If your plant does not get enough light, the stems will grow long and spindly as they will naturally reach for more light. As prayer plants are tropical plants, they do not thrive when temperatures dip too far below 70 °F (21 °C). Colder temperatures and dry air will cause the prayer plant's leaves to shrivel and turn brown. Temperatures hotter than 75 °F (24 °C) can result in fewer leaves and long, spindly stems.  Increase the humidity in the room with a humidifier or set a pan or dish filled with pebbles and water below the plant to increase the room's humidity. Do not put the prayer plant near heating or cooling vents or doorways where it will be exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations and drafts.

Article in English: Praying out loud is difficult for some people and praying for 30-60 minutes can feel awkward at first. It takes practice. Keep working at your prayers and the group will grow together and become stronger. You want people to feel comfortable praying so the meeting should be flexible and intentional. Create an open environment for those who attend the meeting so that they can pray with their whole hearts and minds. This will also help to get everyone to participate. Even though children may have shorter attention spans they can be easily included in prayer meetings. Oftentimes children will pray out loud and fully participate in the meeting, bringing energy to the prayers in their youth. When God answers your prayers you should be grateful and express thanksgiving. Always express these feelings as a group as part of your prayer meetings. Spend some time together after the meeting. You can have snacks or dinner such as pizza and ice cream. This brings the group together and gets the kids excited.

Article in English: Pre-sale inspections aren't extremely common, but what a way to show hesitant buyers that your home is in top form, especially if the report is made available during open houses. On the other hand, discovering potential problems ahead of time will allow you to handle them without scaring off your potential buyer. The internet changed the way that houses were bought and sold. No longer did prospective home buyers need to physically visit the house to find out what it was like. Today, many potential home buyers weed out listings they don't want to invest time in online, and then visit the ones in person that look intriguing. Promoting your home's unique qualities online is a great way to generate more leads. If you can, borrow a nice DSLR or rent a wide-angle lens on the cheap for a couple of days. It should cost you something like $20 - $50 to rent for a couple days. Take pictures of your house on a bright and sunny day, after all your clutter has been cleared away. Pictures of a bright room on a sunny day will make your house look bigger and more inviting. Choose wisely! Ask friends, family, and coworkers if they have any references for top agents. Do your homework, visit websites, and find out which agents know your community best. The agent you choose should not only have extensive market knowledge, but should also be honest and personable. Everyone likes a little goody bag. It makes us feel special and reassured that the person we're buying the home from is looking after us. Best of all, it's relatively easy to do. However, don't offer anything before looking at the market. If you are getting multiple offers on your house, there's no need to offer something extra. Here are some ideas of small extra things that you can do to incentivize buyers to pull the trigger:  Offer a little bit of credit to cover the closing costs, or — better yet — offer to pay them entirely. For a buyer who is financing the home this is usually between 3.5-4% of the asking price. A buyer who is not financing the home could have...

If you think they are valid and perhaps override your proposal, consider revision. Instead, if you see the validity of their points but disagree, add their sentiments to your objection section. Once you have crafted your proposal and have had a friend read it, revise it for flow, grammar, accuracy, and word count. You do not want too long of a proposal or your managers might not read it! Aim for one to two pages if possible. After you feel your proposal is ready, determine to which person you should submit it. In some organizations, it is clear who is in charge and makes decisions. In other companies with more lateral structures, it can be trickier to know who the real decision-makers are. Do a bit of background research into your firm to determine the right person. Once you know who that person is, see whether an in-person meeting is possible. Oftentimes, people respond to requests for change better when speaking face-to-face. Otherwise, send a paper copy or if not possible, an email.

Article in English: Pregnancy is a unique experience that you may want to record, but not share with the world. A traditional journal gives you the space to unplug from the digital world and focus on your current experiences. Each journal has a different style, feel, and focus, but they all give you space to record your private thoughts and experiences. You can document your pregnancy in real time using your preferred devices, easily creating text and uploading videos and pictures.  You may want to digitally share this special time in your life with loved ones who aren't nearby.   You might also be looking to connect with women who are having the same experiences as you. Most digital journals are free and give you the option to download an eBook or PDF once it's complete. This is a great option if you want to document your journey in a creative way. There are many templates available online, but all you really need is a blank scrapbook, acid-free paper, tape, and your imagination. You can add as many details, experiences, and mementos as you would like without constraints. Each trimester has moments that should be captured, as each will bring unique transformations. Mark your calendar and use it to keep track of important moments such as:  When you found out that you are pregnant When you told your parents When you first saw a doctor The first date you felt your baby move The day you found out the gender of your baby

Article in English: Pregnancy is scary for teens. As you move forward with your teen's pregnancy, allow her to vent to you. She should be able to come to you with fears, frustrations, and concerns throughout the process of making a decision about the pregnancy. Listen to what she has to say without judgment and allow her to feel what she's feeling, good or bad. After you discuss your teen's pregnancy with her, you'll need to help her form a plan. Essentially, she has 3 options: keeping the baby, giving it up for adoption, or having an abortion. Help her weigh the pros and cons of each option so she can make an informed decision she will be comfortable with.  If there is a health center for teens in your area, you may want to take your teenager there to talk to a doctor or counselor. You may not have all the necessary information about abortion, adoption, and teen pregnancy at your disposal. Remember, allow your teen to make her own decision. Even if you have your own strong feelings about the situation, this is your daughter's baby. She needs to make a decision that sits well with her. In the event your daughter decides to carry the baby to term, it's important you get her prenatal care. You'll need to have regular prenatal visits with a doctor to monitor the baby's health. You'll also need to stock up on prenatal vitamins and work on establishing a healthy diet and exercise routine. Make an appointment with a doctor as soon as possible if your daughter decides to keep the baby. This way, your daughter and her doctor can develop a health and lifestyle plan for the baby's wellbeing. If your daughter wants to keep the baby, help her confront the difficult questions. There are a lot of factors to consider during a teen pregnancy. Guide your daughter as she makes a variety of decisions regarding her baby. Talk about questions such as:  What role will the father play in the baby's life? Will he and your daughter stay together as a couple? Where will your daughter live after the baby is born?  Will your daughter finish high school or...

Article in English: Pregnant females are extremely sensitive to disruption, and if they feel stressed, they are highly likely to harm the babies when they are born. Having a human feel her belly is definitely stressful to a female hamster, so it puts the health of the babies at risk. Be extra sure that your hamster's diet is nutritionally sound to ensure the health of the babies. Feed a diet she is familiar with, as sudden changes could upset her stomach. However, an ideal diet is pelleted rat or mouse chow since she cannot selectively eat around the healthy (but less tasty) bits.  Very small quantities of milk and cheese provide calcium for the done development of the litter, and they also help the mother in lactation once the babies are born.  As an additional protein source, you can feed your hamster moderate amounts of hard-boiled egg, nuts, barley, and oats.  Though you must provide them in very small amounts (or risk gastrointestinal problems), pregnant hamsters can benefits from the additional vitamins and minerals found in fruits and vegetables, such as broccoli, cucumber, cauliflower, apples, grapes, bananas, and strawberries. Female hamsters like to be left completely alone at least a couple of days before giving birth. This means that by day thirteen after mating, you should not even interfere with her cage or bedding. Be as careful as possible when putting fresh food in with her as well. Failure to do this could lead to cannibalization of the newborn babies. Since you may not have any idea when the mother mated, consider that she usually starts “showing” the pregnancy around day ten after mating. In addition to a stressed mother hamster potentially cannibalizing her litter, other hamsters kept in the same cage can lead to the same result. To ensure the safety of the baby hamsters, begin housing other hamsters you have in separate cages as soon as you know for sure that the mother is pregnant. If hamsters kept in the same cage begin fighting despite usually getting along, this is also a sign that one of them may be...

Summary in Russian:

Никогда не прикасайтесь к животу самки, чтобы потрогать малышей. Во время беременности кормите самку питательным кормом. Предоставьте самке покой примерно с тринадцатого дня после спаривания. Держите остальных хомяков в отдельных клетках. Не прикасайтесь к малышам в первые две недели. Переставьте поилки пониже. Начните давать молодым хомячкам твердые корма примерно с 7–10-го дня. Если мать отказалась от потомства, немедленно отнесите малышей к ветеринару.


Article in English: Pregnant women do not menstruate during the course of their pregnancies. If you miss a period, that is usually the most obvious indicator that you are pregnant. Nonetheless, you can miss periods for other reasons, such as stress or even overexercising.  If you don't already, get in the habit of keeping track of your menstrual cycle so that you can better detect a late or missed period. All you need to do is mark when you start and end your period on the calendar. That way, you can see how your cycle generally runs. There are also mobile apps that make it convenient and easy to track your cycle. Because of the hormones released in early pregnancy, you may notice some changes in your breasts. They may swell slightly or be somewhat sore to the touch. You may also notice that your breasts feel "fuller" or heavier. Your nipples may feel swollen, painful, or tingly. You may have spotting when the newly fertilized egg attaches itself to the wall of the uterus. Implantation usually happens within a week to a week and a half after fertilization. This symptom can last for about 3 months. Spotting is usually lighter in color than your menstrual blood. You may also notice some cramping early on. Mostly, these should feel like they do when you have your period. However, if they are heavy or if you notice that they are pinpointed on one side of your body, it can be a sign of a complication. Call your doctor if you suddenly experience severe cramps. Many women feel extremely tired in the early stages of pregnancy. This symptom is usually attributed to increased progesterone levels. It may also be caused by the fact that your body is producing more blood to account for the baby. You may notice this symptom as early as 1 week after conception. Another early sign of pregnancy is frequent urination. When you become pregnant, your body produces more human chorionic gonadotropin, which is a hormone. This hormone, which is highest in the first few weeks you are pregnant, pushes more blood to your groin area. In turn, you need to...

Article in English: Preheat a gas or charcoal grill, preparing separate areas for direct and indirect heat.  If using a gas grill, turn on two sets of burners (the front and rear or the left and right) to medium-high heat. Leave the middle burner off. If using a charcoal grill, position piles of hot coals on each side of the grill but leave the middle section clear. Remove any ties and cut out the backbone of each quail using sharp kitchen scissors. Use your hand to push down along the length of body until it lies flat. Keep the quail flat as it cooks by inserting two skewers along the width of the body. Both skewers should go through both legs. Coat the quails with olive oil or melted butter, then rub the surface of each with salt and black pepper. When grilling the quail, the skin should brown easily regardless of whether you use butter or oil. Either way, however, you should distribute the fat evenly over all sides of the bird using a basting brush or spoon. Place each quail breast-side down on the hot side of the grill. Cook the quails for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the first side is thoroughly browned. Avoid turning, flipping, or otherwise moving the birds as they brown. You'll need to keep them relatively still to adequately sear in the juices. Flip the quails to the back-side and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, allowing this other side to brown, too. Note that the quail should still be positioned over the hot side of the grill during this step. Once both sides are browned, move the birds to the middle or indirectly heated section of the grill. Continue cooking them for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the meat feels slightly firm and the juices run clear.  Keeping the grill lid closed during this time will hold in more heat. You should be able to rotate and flip the quails over as they cook during this step without disrupting the cooking process. Remove the cooked quails from the grill and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.  Transfer the birds to a serving dish and place a loose tent of aluminum foil over...

Article in English: Preheat it to 300ºF(150ºC). If you don't want to make your bananas completely black, set your oven to the lowest setting instead. This will normally be about 170°F (77°C). Cover the baking sheet with parchment paper to catch leaks from the mushy bananas. Place unpeeled bananas on this sheet. Don't crowd them, as you want the warm air to circulate. Turn the oven light on so you can keep an eye on the bananas. Watch the bananas blacken, and check on them after the first 15 minutes to see if they've softened. If they don't seem soft after 30 minutes, you might want to try them for another ten. Once your bananas are out, you can poke them gently with a spoon to see if they're soft. Wait until they're cool enough to handle before adding them to your banana bread ingredients. If you're not ready to use them yet, you can store them in your fridge without losing any flavor. Cut off the tip of the peel with a pair of scissors, then squeeze the banana from the bottom to push out the fruit. Alternatively, you can just slice the peel down the side and topple the banana out, or scoop it with a spoon.

Article in English: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a 15 inch (38.1 cm) by 10 inch (25.4 cm) baking pan with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper with olive oil or cooking oil to make sure the cake won't stick.  In order to make a log roll, the cake must be baked in a large, shallow pan, rather than a stout pan. A cookie sheet with 1-inch high sides should do the trick. Don't skimp on greasing the parchment paper. It's important for the cake to stay intact when you lift it from the pan. Place the yolks in a large mixing bowl, and use either a whisk or a hand mixture to beat them well, until they're light and yellow. Add 1/2 cup of the sugar and the pumpkin, and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved. Place the egg whites in a separate mixing bowl. Beat them until soft peaks begin to form. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and continue beating until the egg whites become stiffer and glossy.  Be sure the beaters or whisk  you use to beat the whites are clean and dry, or you won't be able to get peaks to form. Add the sugar gradually as you beat, rather than pouring it in all at once, to achieve a glossy texture. Fold the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture with a spatula. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, then pour it into the wet mixture. Use the spatula to gently stir the ingredients until the batter comes together. Pour the batter into the baking pan. Use the spatula to smooth it evenly across the pan, all the way to the sides and into the corners. Place the pan in the oven and bake the cake for about 15 minutes. Remove it from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.  Check the cake by touching it with the back of a spoon. If it springs back, it's finished. Don't overbake the cake, or it will get crumbly. Remove it from the oven when it is just finished. Don't let the cake cool completely before moving to the next step.

Article in English: Preheat the saucepan over medium heat and add the butter. Tilt the pan as the butter melts so that the entire bottom gets coated. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently with a heat-resistant spatula, until the garlic turns a light brown or tan color. Do not let the garlic blacken and burn. If the garlic becomes burnt, discard it and clean the butter from the pan before starting over. Pour a single layer of clams into the bottom of the saucepan and stir until the clams are coated with the garlic butter.  You will need to cook the clams in batches. Do not stack the clams on top of each other in the pan since doing so will make it difficult for any clams on the bottom layer to open.     Stirring and coating the clams helps to ensure that the heat will be evenly distributed.    Add roughly 1/4 cup (60 mL) white wine per one dozen clams. The wine adds flavor to the clams, but more importantly, it creates the steam needed to cook the meat and open the shells. It also decreases the heat in the pan. Let the clams cook for roughly 4 minutes before removing the cover. The clams are finished once they open.  Clams only open when they are completely cooked.     If any clams have not opened, remove the clams that have opened and continue cooking the unopened clams for another 1 to 2 minutes. If the clams still do not open, discard them, since they might be bad.     Avoid over-cooking the clams since doing so will cause them to become tough.

Article in English: Preheat your oven to 325 °F (163 °C). In a large bowl, mix 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, 3 eggs, 0.5 cups (120 ml) coconut milk, 0.5 cups (120 ml) milk, and 2 cups (470 ml) grated coconut. Pour the mixture into a greased, medium-sized cake pan and bake for 25 minutes. Make coconut cream cake pops by crumbling coconut cake in a bowl and stirring in vanilla frosting. Add frosting and stir until the mixture has a dough-like consistency. Roll the dough into ping pong-sized balls and chill them in the fridge for 2 hours, then insert lollipop sticks. For an added touch, dip the cake pops in melted chocolate and chill them for another 2 hours. Make chocolate-covered coconut candy by mixing 1.75 cup shredded coconut, 1.75 cups confectioners' sugar, 1 cup chopped almonds, and 0.5 cups (120 ml) condensed milk in a medium-sized bowl.  Roll the mixture into balls that are approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) in size and chill them in the fridge for 20 minutes. Dip the balls in melted chocolate and let them cool for another 20 minutes. Coconut flour is a protein-rich, gluten-free alternative to regular flour. While it can be used in place of regular flour, you should swap it in at only a third of the flour that your recipe calls for, as it is much more absorbent. Be sure to mix your ingredients very thoroughly to prevent the coconut flour from clumping.

Article in English: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (204 C). Season your steak with any kind of seasoning you like. If you want to keep it simple, just use coarse salt and pepper. Don't be afraid to coat both sides of your steak with the seasoning since this will give it flavor and help it brown. You should be able to see seasoning on the steak. You could also use:  Cajun seasoning Chimichurri Teriyaki Montreal steak seasoning Place a heavy-bottomed skillet (preferably a cast-iron skillet) over high heat. Add a few tablespoons of coconut oil, grapeseed oil, or vegetable oil in the pan to heat. You want the pan to get really hot so the steak sizzles immediately and begins to brown. Coconut, grapeseed, and vegetable oils all have high-smoke points so they won't burn as your pan heats up. Avoid pan-frying a steak in butter or olive oil which will burn. Place the steak in your hot oiled skillet and let it cook for 1 to 3 minutes. Carefully turn the steak and sear the other side for another 1 to 3 minutes. The steak should be a dark golden brown color on the sides. It will still be mostly raw inside, but you'll finish the steak in the oven for even cooking. You can turn the steaks frequently while they're searing so they sear evenly and brown faster. Place the entire skillet with the seared steak into the preheated oven. Cook the steak for 6 to 8 minutes or until the steak reaches the level of doneness you'd like. If you check the temperature, the steak should be between 145 degrees F (62 C) for medium-rare and 175 F (79 C) for well-done. Transfer the steak to a plate and let it rest a few minutes before you serve it.  Letting the steak rest helps the juices in the meat distribute evenly. Ensure your skillet is ovenproof before placing it in the oven. Even if it says it's ovenproof, check to see if it can be used in a 400 degree F oven.

Article in English: Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is a medical process by which an embryo's genetic information is analyzed before implantation in the uterus. It can also be used to determine the sex of the baby. If you're interested in pursuing this process, start by contacting a clinic near you that performs this type of procedure. PGD coupled with In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is one of the only ways to choose a baby's sex with absolute certainty. However, it's also one of the most expensive, resource-intensive methods available. If the clinic agrees to perform this procedure, the female partner will probably need to begin preparing to donate eggs several weeks to a month in advance. Generally, women undergoing PGD and IVF are given fertility drugs to stimulate the ovaries to release more mature eggs.  Usually, fertility drugs are taken for about two weeks via pill or injection.  Side effects for common fertility drugs are usually mild and can include include hot flashes, nausea, bloating, headache, and blurred vision. In addition to taking fertility drugs, women who intend to donate eggs usually also receive a series of daily hormone injections. These injections further stimulate the ovaries to release more mature eggs.  Some women have strong side effects to these hormones, so first-timers are generally monitored carefully to ensure that the process is proceeding smoothly. You may also be required to take progesterone, a hormone that thickens the uterine lining in preparation for IVF. As the female partner's body is stimulated to release more eggs, regular ultrasound tests are used to determine when the eggs are ready to be donated. When the eggs are fully mature, there is a simple, minimally-invasive surgical procedure to remove the eggs. Most women are able to resume normal activities within a day or so of this procedure. Though the female partner is put under sedation for this procedure, it can be somewhat uncomfortable. Painkillers are usually prescribed to aid with post-surgery pain. If the male partner does...

Article in English: Premenstrual symptoms (PMS) are caused by hormonal changes in your body and they typically occur in the days immediately before your period starts. Some girls experience severe premenstrual symptoms, while other girls do not notice any symptoms at all. The severity of your premenstrual symptoms might also change as you get older. There is no guarantee that you will experience any of these symptoms before your first period, but if you do experience them, there is a good chance that your period is coming! Many girls experience a soreness, tenderness, or swollen feeling in their breasts right before their periods. If you notice this, you should expect your period to come soon. Some girls also experience emotional changes in the days leading up to their periods. It is different for everyone, but you might feel unusually sad, angry, or irritable. These feelings will typically go away in a few days. Acne can occur at any time, so it is not necessarily a sign that your period is coming. However, if you notice a sudden increase in the amount of breakouts you have over a short period of time, it may mean that you will get your period in the next few days. You may experience cramping in your lower abdomen or lower back or a bloated feeling in your stomach right before and/or during your period. These symptoms can range from mild to severe, and they may not be the same every month.  If you experience severe cramps that interfere with your daily activities, you may want to treat them with an over-the-counter pain reliever. Exercise and heating pads can also help reduce your cramps. Talk to your doctor if the cramps are severe and not improved by taking over-the-counter medications.

Article in English: Prenatal checkups allow your doctor to assess your health and follow your pregnancy to ensure your baby is developing normally and you are not suffering from any complications.  Pre-natal checkups are often scheduled once a month for the first two trimesters. As you get closer to your due date, your doctor may want to increase the frequency of the checkups.  The purpose of pre-natal checkups is to make sure you and your baby are healthy and the pregnancy is moving along as it should. This includes ensuring you are doing well both physically and mentally. If you have any concerns about your pregnancy, pre-natal checkups are the place to bring these to your doctors attention. Your doctor can also give you valuable advice about your diet, exercise routine, and dietary supplements in order to maintain a healthy pregnancy. Maintaining a healthy weight helps support a healthy pregnancy for both you and your baby. If you have a healthy weight before pregnancy, a normal weight gain during pregnancy is usually around 25 to 35 pounds total.  However, if you are overweight before pregnancy, you should only gain about 15 to 25 pounds. If you are obese, your weight gain should be even less (around 11 to 20 pounds). If you are underweight before pregnancy, you should be able to safely gain anywhere between 28 and 40 pounds during pregnancy. The general guidance recommends you gain 2-4 pounds a week during the first trimester and 1 pound a week during the rest of your pregnancy. Gaining too much weight can increase your risk of complications such as gestational diabetes and premature birth. Your developing baby relies on you for all nutrients and calories and thus, it is essential you eat a balanced diet that helps support both you and your baby.  Your nutritional needs increase when you become pregnant, meaning that you need more protein and vitamins in order to accommodate your body’s changes and to meet your baby’s developmental needs. However, this does not mean you can eat anything you want. In fact, you should only...

Article in English: Prep your skin. You’ll feel better in your clothes and more dressed up if you take time to make your skin look clean and fresh. Wash your face with the right cleanser for your skin type, be it oily or dry, first thing in the morning. A few times a week, do a deep-cleaning routine that will give your skin a healthy glow, an essential part of any girl’s dressed-up look. Here’s what to try:  Exfoliate your skin. On your face, use a gentle exfoliating cleanser. You can use a body scrub on your arms and legs as well. Use a facial mask to give your skin a healthy glow before you even put makeup on. Masks draw oils from the skin and tighten pores. Moisturize your skin. Use a moisturizing cream on your face and slather lotion on the rest of your body to keep your skin smooth. There’s no rule saying that girls have to remove hair from their bodies. Some girls do it, and others don’t; you can dress up like a girl either way. Hair removal gives a smooth appearance to legs, armpits and other parts of the body, but it takes time and the process isn’t always comfortable. Here are a few things to keep in mind:  Lots of girls  shave their legs, armpits, and other areas using a razor. Doing it several times a week makes upkeep easier than just doing it every once in a while, giving the hair a chance to fully grow back. You can remove hair from your face by plucking with tweezers, shaving, or  bleach it instead so it doesn’t appear as dark. There are other options aside from shaving, like waxing or getting electrolysis. While plenty of girls go natural, preferring the look of bare skin, experimenting with makeup can be a fun part of dressing like a girl. Choose from a rainbow of colors to highlight your eyes, play up your cheekbones and add a pout to your lips. No matter what outfit you put on, you’ll look instantly dressed up with makeup on.  Start with foundation that matches the tone of your skin. You can use it to hide blemishes and create a smooth appearance. Make your eyes pop with eyeliner, mascara and eyeshadow. If...

Article in English: Prepare a baking sheet by covering it with a sheet of nonstick aluminum foil or parchment paper. In order to make sure that the walnuts toast evenly, you should keep them all in a single layer rather than allowing them to pile up. The nuts will also benefit from being spaced slightly apart, but they will still toast even if they are touching. For best results, position the nuts so that the "x" marked on the shell faces up. The mark does not need to be completely upright, but it should not be covered by the baking sheet or by other nuts. The nuts should continue toasting until they become fragrant and take on a slightly darker hue. The shell should also begin to turn up slightly where the "x" is at. You might need to cook the walnuts for as long as 15 minutes, but they generally toast a little faster in-shell, so 10 minutes is often enough. It is not necessary, but stirring the nuts will help ensure even and thorough cooking. Use a spatula, as the nuts and baking sheet will be too hot to touch by hand. Make sure that the "x" on each shell can still be seen and is not covered.

Article in English: Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Non-stick cooking spray will also work. Ideally, the shelled walnuts will be divided into halves or quarters. Whole walnuts may not toast evenly, while pieces smaller than quarters may toast too quickly and burn as a result. The walnuts should be in a single layer to ensure even cooking. At this temperature, the walnuts should only need to bake for 5 to 10 minutes, especially if they are in smaller pieces. Check the walnuts after the first 5 minutes to make sure that they have not started to burn. You can even stir them with a heat-resistant spatula to improve even browning. Once the walnuts smell toasted, they are done. Remove them from the oven and transfer them to a heat-resistant bowl until they cool. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature, but you should at least wait until they are no longer burning hot to the touch.

Article in English: Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil.  Choose a baking sheet with a shallow rim. Note that steelhead trout are generally quite large, so you should use a large baking sheet instead of a small one. Add the butter to a saucepan or small skillet and heat it over medium heat until it melts and begins to sizzle. Add the shallots first, cooking them for 3 minutes until softened. Afterward, add the minced garlic and 1 tsp (5 ml) of grated zest from the lemon. Cook for an additional minute.  If using pre-minced garlic, use roughly 1 tsp (5 ml). You could also use 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) garlic powder. Use a hand grater or box grater to produce the lemon zest. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool slightly. Squeeze the juice from one half of the lemon into the pan and stir to blend it in. Place the fish on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle it with a little salt and pepper.  If you are uncertain about how much salt and pepper to start with, try 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) salt and 1/8 tsp (0.625 ml) pepper. If the fish is too large to fit across the length of the baking sheet, turn it and let it lay across the sheet diagonally. Note that steelhead trout has a taste somewhat comparable to salmon, and the two are often used as substitutes for one another. Steelhead trout tends to be slightly thinner, though, so it requires a shorter cooking time than salmon. Spoon the flavored butter mixture over the trout, coating it evenly and completely. Use half of your minced dill to season the fish before it cooks. If you do not have fresh dill, you can use 1 tsp (5 ml) dried dill for every 1 Tbsp (15 ml) fresh dill you might otherwise use. Cook the trout in the preheated oven until it flakes apart easily with a fork.  Do not turn or flip the fish as it cooks. Do not cover the baking sheet. A thin fillet will cook in 12 minutes, but thicker fillets may take longer. Use several spatulas to carefully slide the trout off the baking sheet and onto a serving platter. Squeeze the remaining lemon juice over the fish and...

Article in English: Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil. The aluminum foil is not absolutely necessary, but it will help to prevent the baking sheet from burning or becoming slimy. Place the clams in a bucket and add enough water to cover them. Stir in the cornmeal and salt and let soak as the oven preheats. Soaking the clams in this manner should loosen the shells. Combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, pesto, parsley, and olive oil in a bowl. Add half of the clarified butter or melted unsalted butter and mix together until moist.  While the stuffing mix should be moist, it should not be dripping wet or soaked.     Only add the remaining butter if necessary, and do so 1 Tbsp (15 mL) at a time to avoid over-soaking the stuffing mix.    Remove the clams from the water and pry them open with your fingers. Stuff the clams with enough of the stuffing mix to cover the meat completely.  If you cannot open the clams with your fingers, glide a thin, dull knife in between the shell halves and cut around the perimeter until loosened.     Position the stuffed clams on your prepared baking sheet.    Cook the clams in the preheated oven until the stuffing turns golden brown. Remove the finished clams from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.

Article in English: Prepare a bed 4 feet (1.2 m) wide. Remove all traces of weeds and grass from the bed, making sure there are no roots left behind in the soil. Till the soil and rake in manure, compost, blood or bone meal at a depth of 10 to 15 inches (25 to 38 cm).  Dig trenches for planting. Trenches should be 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) deep and around 12 inches (30 cm) wide. If you are planting multiple rows, space the trenches 2 to 3 feet (0.6 to 0.9 m) apart.     Make ridges in the trenches. Mix the soil that you removed from the trenches with organic compost, and spread 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7 cm) of the enriched soil into the bottom center of each trench to form a center ridge.     You can also mix in rock phosphate, a mineral powder that encourages root growth. Place the crowns in a bucket of either warm water or a compost tea (fortified with plant nutrients) for about 15 minutes before planting. Place the crowns in the trenches, spacing them 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) apart. Drape the roots over the sides of the ridges.  Cover the roots and crowns with soil. Place soil over the roots and over the crowns by 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7 cm). Water the area thoroughly after you are done planting. As the asparagus plants begin to grow and the soil settles, add more soil over the crowns. Place 1 to 3 inches (2 to 7 cm) of soil over the crowns every 2 to 3 weeks until the trenches are filled to ground level. Spread 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm) of mulch around the plants after the trench has been filled. Mulching the plants helps to keep weeds down and helps retain soil moisture.

Article in English: Prepare a mixture of water and baking soda, approximately one cup of baking soda per gallon of water. Apply around the perimeter and where the dog has urinated. Repeat at least twice per week.  Baking soda will also protect plants from the damage caused by dog urine. Baking soda will neutralize the smell of dog urine, which should both make your nose happy and halt the territorial behavior that draws dogs to one another’s urine. Spraying undiluted vinegar around the perimeter of the lawn creates a sort of invisible fence that drives off both dogs and cats. A roaming dog will take one sniff of your lawn and turn away, but you should keep reapplying the vinegar on a daily basis. Also try to apply vinegar where the dog has urinated.  Vinegar can also work as a natural herbicide to kill various weeds. For this reason, though, you should avoid spraying it over your entire lawn, since it has the potential to damage vegetation. Vinegar neutralizes the smell of dog urine, which should both make your nose happy and halt the territorial behavior that draws dogs to one another’s urine. Many dogs have a strong reaction to the smell of organic material. Try a new fertilizer if dogs seem to be drawn to yours. Dogs are especially drawn to blood, fish, and bone meal. Try a plant-based fertilizer. Dogs are generally bothered by the smell of lavender, even though it is rather pleasant plant for humans. Similarly, prickly or thorny plants can be planted around the perimeter of your lawn to install a natural barrier against dog invaders. There are a number of popular home solutions, especially cayenne pepper, which have actually been known to harm dogs. Similarly, refrain from using coffee grounds, mouth balls, garlic power, Tobacco, ammonia, and detergents to drive off dogs.

Article in English: Prepare a roasting pan by lining it with a large sheet of aluminum foil. The foil needs to be at least three times as large as the bottom of your roasting pan. You will need enough foil to wrap completely and securely around the brisket, so if necessary, you can test the amount by wrapping it around your brisket before you use it the line the pan. In a small saucepan, whisk together the ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, ginger, garlic, oil, and water until combined. Alternatively, you could use your favorite prepared barbecue sauce instead of this sauce recipe. Use roughly 3/4 cup (185 ml) of prepared sauce and mix it with 1 cup (250 ml) of water. No simmering is necessary if using prepared sauce. Heat the sauce on your stove over medium-high heat until it reaches a simmer. Let cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, so the flavors blend. Pre-heating the barbecue sauce separately allows the flavors of the sauce to blend more thoroughly before you add it to the beef brisket. If you do not pre-cook the sauce, you may end with a brisket that is unevenly flavored, with some tastes being stronger on one side of the meat than they are on another. Place the beef brisket on the aluminum foil and spread the sauce over it, covering as much of the meat as possible. Wrap the foil around the brisket when done.  By wrapping the brisket, you seal the liquid in and keep that liquid in full contact with the meat. This leads to a more even, more rapid, and more flavorful cooking process. Make sure the foil is wrapped around the brisket tightly so no liquid can leak out through the corners of the foil packet. The beef brisket should be roasted for roughly 1 hour per l lb (450 g) of meat. In this case, the brisket should cook for 3 to 4 hours.  Do not unwrap the brisket during the cooking process unless you are checking for doneness. Unwrapping the meat can cause some liquid to be lost, which can upset the cooking time and lead to a brisket that is drier than ideal. You should also watch...

Article in English: Prepare a small roasting pan or baking dish by lightly coating it with nonstick cooking spray. Alternatively, line the pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper for an easier clean-up. Pull the legs together over the back of the quail, then tie them in place using clean kitchen twine. By tying the legs together, you can help the quail remain steady as it cooks. If you do not tie the legs together, you may need to use celery sticks or skewers to help stabilize them after placing the birds in your baking pan. Coat the surface of the quail with melted butter or olive oil, then rub the salt and pepper over all sides of each quail.  Use a pastry brush to evenly coat the birds with the butter or oil. Also note that the quail will brown best if you use melted butter. While not necessary, you can also stuff the inner cavity of the quail when you choose to roast it. Fruit-based stuffing tends to work best, especially when it makes use of plum or prune flavors. Place the quails breast-side down in your prepared pan and transfer them to your preheated oven. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the meat feels slightly firm and the juices run clear. If you choose to stuff the quail, you will need to increase the overall cooking time by 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the quail from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve while still hot.  Consider placing a loose aluminum foil tent over the birds as they rest. Doing so traps more heat inside and may allow the juices to distribute more evenly. If desired, you can serve the quail with lemon juice, wild game sauce, or other similar condiments.

Article in English: Prepare as much chopped wheatgrass as you want to use. You'll need to feed it into your juicer. Every juicer is different, so you'll have to set it up according to the instructions in your manual. Manual wheatgrass juicers can look a bit like meat grinders, and tend to include a handle that you grind, along with a pestle-type implement to push the grass down. Manual wheatgrass juicers can sometimes only be really used for wheatgrass, so if you splurge on a juicer, you may want to get an electric juicer so you can use it for juicing other vegetables as well. Electric juicers blend the grass more easily, but they require a bit more cleanup. If you get an electric juicer, make sure you get a masticating one. A centrifugal juicer will not juice wheatgrass at all. Now, just feed the wheatgrass into the juicer. For most juicers, you'll have to fill them a little bit at a time, so you don't cram the juicer and make it difficult to juice the wheatgrass. The juicer will then have a place for the juice to be collected, as well as a place for the pulp to go. You should be all done juicing your wheatgrass. Though a juicer for wheatgrass or a juicer in general can get a bit pricy, if you're really committed to juicing wheatgrass regularly, it can make a real difference in your life. After you pour it into a glass and enjoy a portion of delicious wheatgrass juice, all you have to do is clean up your juicer and you're all done.
