Article in English: If home remedies do not help to relieve your nausea within a day or so, or if you are vomiting, then call your physician right away to ensure that you don’t have a more serious problem. Nausea — often along with vomiting — is a common problem for many people.

If the nausea improves but you still have no appetite, have a headache or have severe stomach or abdominal pain, call your physician for advice. Nausea, especially when it’s accompanied by vomiting can be a sign of a more serious condition such as:  Appendicitis Intestinal obstruction or blockage Cancer Poisoning Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD), especially if the vomit resembles coffee grounds

Article in English: If ingrown hairs become chronic and you try to use some object to dig out the ingrown hair, scars can form. Avoid any “bathroom surgery” and don't use tweezers, needles, pins, or anything else to dig out an ingrown hair.  This will increase the risk of a scar forming and can increase the risk of spreading the infection. You need to hold off will all hair removal in the area until the infection is cleared. Ingrown hairs appear to form when the hair is cut at or below the level of the skin, leaving a sharp edge to the hair which then grows sideways into the skin. Continuing to remove hair from the area could result in additional ingrown hairs or further irritation to the infected area, both of which you want to avoid. Make sure you are not over-drying your skin. Use a bit of moisturizer on the infected hair after every treatment. This can help soften the skin and can reduce the risk of skin damage and scarring.

Article in English: If it doesn’t make her anxious to have your presence, watch your dog while she is laboring. You don’t need to hover. Expect her to be uncomfortable during contractions, just like a woman would be.  This is part of the process. In many cases, puppies are born in the middle of the night when you are sleeping. Make it a habit to check on your dog as soon as you wake up as she approaches her due date. The mother dog should clean her puppies right after they are born. Give her a minute or two to take the sac off the puppy and start licking and cleaning the puppy. If your dog is taking longer than that, you can step in and get the sack off and vigorously rub the puppy to dry and stimulate breathing. If necessary, you can carefully tie off the umbilical cord about an inch from the puppy and cut it with clean scissors. Puppies should start nursing within 1-3 hours after birth. You may need to place the puppy in front of a nipple and gently squeeze a little milk out for the puppy to get the idea.  If the puppy absolutely will not nurse, or your dog won’t let the puppy nurse, there may be something wrong with the puppy, like a cleft palate.  Open the puppy’s mouth and look at the roof of the mouth.  It should be a solid surface without any holes into the sinuses. Consult your veterinarian if there are any concerns. You may need to tube feed or bottle feed the puppy with puppy formula if they are not able to nurse and are otherwise healthy. After the puppies are born, count them so you know exactly how many there are. This will help you keep tabs on the pups. The mother dog may want to eat the placentas, which is not harmful. She is getting back all the nutrients she put into her pregnancy. Don’t feel compelled to remove them immediately.  If she does not eat them, dispose of them in the trash.  In some cases, eating the placentas may cause vomiting later. Remember that every puppy will have its own placenta. Puppies do not regulate their body temperature well and need to be kept warm. For the first few days after...

Article in English: If it has a rough surface, you will need to sand it first with a medium (80-grit) sandpaper until the edges are even. Employ a power sander for faster results. Fill in any holes with lacquer filler. Regular brands of filler will not be compatible with the chemicals in lacquer. The sanding will create a smooth surface but also help the primer to stick to the surface of your wood. Remove all debris before continuing. Vacuum the entire area with a shop-vac to remove excess dust before you start your finishing process. Choose a very well ventilated place to apply your lacquer. Many types of lacquer are toxic and flammable.

Article in English: If it has been a while since you got your bra size measured, or you have gained or lost a significant amount of weight, it may be worth your while to get your bra resized.  A band that is too tight will dig in and create unflattering bulges across your back.  Your skin may also hurt or ache throughout the day if your bra is not fitted to your body. Go to an undergarment store or undergarment department store and ask for help.  Many stores offer free bra fittings for customers.  They'll measure you and give you an idea of an appropriate size. Also try different types of bras.  Some are actually designed to hold in unwanted bulges and are more comfortable to wear throughout the day. Tight fitting tops, tops that show more skin or those that are made of sheer fabric may enhance the look of bulges around your back.  Choose more flattering clothes to help disguise unwanted bulges on your back.  Unflattering clothing choices can include: tight waistbands, tight bras, jeans that cause muffin top, etc. These can call attention to your back fat. Try to wear clothes that are flattering and that fit you well. By wearing more flattering clothing, people likely won’t even notice any back fat that you do have. You can also wear clothes that will draw attention away from your back. For example, wear a loose top with a bright skirt to guide the eye down, or pair a simple shirt with dangly earrings for the opposite effect. You can purchase undergarments or bras that are designed to lift and smooth your entire upper body.  These may be especially helpful if you want to decrease your back fat for a special occasion.  Look for shapewear that's designed as a bra and upper body shaper.  This will provide you the support you need up top, but smooth out any bumps or bulges on your back and stomach. These types of undergarments can also help clothes fit better and flow more naturally over your body.

Article in English: If it has feathers, it is a fledgling and could be learning to fly. Therefore, it should remain on the ground - only remove it if it is in danger from a predator, or the parents do not return within one hour. If the bird has no feathers, it is a nestling, so look around to see if you can spot the nest. Gently pick him up and place him back in the nest. House Sparrows were originally recorded in Eurasia, North Africa, and the Middle East but now live all around the world. Because there are so many sparrows globally, they are not a protected species. This means there are no laws prohibiting them being kept as pets. It is not advisable for pregnant women or people with compromised immune systems to handle baby birds. They may carry diseases, such as salmonella, which can infect humans. Always observe strict hygiene when handling the bird. Thoroughly wash your hands before and after care. Dispose of waste in a sealed bag. If the bird has too much human contact, it may start to think you are its parent and will lose its fear of you. This makes it difficult to release the bird back into the wild. If your intention is to rear the bird to a stage when it is strong enough to be released, then avoid picking the bird up and handling it, especially during feeding. You want to retain the bird's natural fear of humans.  Try to avoid the baby bird becoming imprinted on you. This means the bird assumes he is human rather than a bird and can lead to difficulties when releasing him back into the wild.  Do your best to avoid speaking to the bird. The goal should be to feed and care for the bird as if you are an "invisible force." Nestlings and fledglings are fed on an all insect diet by their parents, and do not drink water. If you try to drip feed the bird water, you stand a good chance of it inhaling water and drowning.

Article in English: If it is a sunny day, you may choose to dry your sheets on the clothes line in your backyard. You will save energy and electricity use by using a clothes line.  Hang white sheets in the sun and colored sheets in the shade.  Hang sheets from the corners rather than in the middle. This keeps them from getting damaged in the wind. Wear an apron with pockets for clothespins to make the task easier. Alternately, bring a bucket of clothespins.  You may also choose to use a combination of clothes line and dryer. Try drying the sheets on the clothes line and then putting them in the dryer for just a couple minutes. This way you can save energy while also getting the soft feel of sheets just out of the dryer. If it is raining or you do not have a clothes line, you may choose to use the drying machine. The dryer gives a nice soft feel to your sheets, and is also more efficient than a clothes line if you need dry sheets right away.  Use a tennis ball tied in a cotton sock to make sure the sheets dry evenly.   Use a lavender dryer bag. Lavender oil can help you sleep and is a natural moth repellent and antibacterial agent. Fill a spray bottle with water and several drops of lavender oil. Shake the bottle to mix the oil into the water. Spray a clean washcloth with the solution and then toss the washcloth in the dryer with the wet laundry. The lavender scent will transfer to your sheets. Generally, it is best to choose a medium or low heat setting. This makes your sheets last longer. You may also want to choose an automatic setting that tells you when your sheets are dry.  Use the less dry or damp alert settings to prevent over-drying of cotton sheets.   Avoid hot temperature settings. Hot temperatures will shorten the life of your sheets. If you place them flat across your bed while they are still warm, they will fit to the bed. Also, the sheets will look smooth and ironed, even though you have not actually ironed them. Avoid leaving your sheets in the washer. This causes wrinkles, since the spin cycle of the washer will...

Article in English: If it is labeled as ‘manmade material,’ it is definitely synthetic leather. But if it doesn't say anything at all, chances are good the manufacturer wants to conceal the fact that it isn't real leather. Of course, used goods may have lost their tags. But most manufacturers are proud of the fact that they use real leather, and will note it as following:  Real leather Genuine leather Top/Full grain leather Made with animal products Imperfections, in leather, are actually a good thing. Remember, real leather is made from animal skin, and thus each piece is as random and unique as the animal it came from. Very regular, even, and similar grains often indicate a machine-made piece.  Real leather might have scratches, creases, and wrinkles -- this is a good thing! Note that, as manufacturers get more skilled, their designs are better mimicking real leather. This makes buying online, where you only have a picture, very difficult to do. Real leather will wrinkle under the tough, just like real skin. Synthetic materials usually just depress down under your finger, retaining rigidity and shape. If you're completely unsure of the smell you're looking for, head into a store that you know sells genuine leather and test out a few bags and shoes. Ask if they have any synthetic pieces and smell those as well. Once you know what you're looking for, the smell differences will be unmistakable. Remember, leather is just worked animal skin. Faux leather is made of plastic. It seems obvious, but real leather will smell like skin and fake will smell like plastic. While there are few circumstances where burning a good is preferable to leaving it alone, this experiment works if you have a small, hard-to-see area that you can test, like the underside of a couch. Hold a flame up to the area for 5-10 seconds to test it out:  Real leather will only char slightly, and smell a bit like burnt hair. Faux leather will actually catch flame, and smells like burning plastic. Machine made leather looks machine cut. Real leather is made of many...

Article in English: If it is malfunctioning, or is a sand-bed filter, backwash cleaning methods could have damaged the filtration media. It is essential to continue pool maintenance, and any malfunction should be treated seriously.  Check the lines and filtration media before deciding what to replace. Vacuum any loose debris, scrub the sides and floor with a brush, and vacuum any loosened detritus. Run the pool filter for 8-12 hours to remove any flotsam and detritus that might be clouding the pool. Loose colloidal particles cause cloudiness. They are either organic in nature (like algae) or mineral buildups (loose calcium). Adjust the chemicals to these ranges and run the pool filter system for another day before re-testing.  Free chlorine: 1-2 ppm Combined chlorine: <.3ppm pH: 7.2 – 7.8 Total alkalinity: 80 – 120 ppm Calcium hardness: 180 – 220 ppm (higher levels are acceptable up to approximately 400ppm) Do not attempt to mix strong acids or bases in your pool or without eye and skin protection and respirators. Combined chlorine is free chlorine that has reacted with an agent in the water to form chloramine, which produces a strong chlorine scent. Pool shock kits should raise the chlorine to over 30ppm.  If your pH test kit uses litmus paper and produces a purple or off color, this may be due to high levels of chlorine. Test kits often have a reagent, typically thiosulfate, that will remove the chlorine and enable an accurate test. High levels of cyanuric acid can reduce chlorine’s efficacy as a sterilizing agent and can be reduced with dilution. High variance day-to-day indicates a chlorine demand problem. Monitor cyanuric acid levels, which acts as a stabilizer for chlorine to prevent UV degradation, and consider investigating your chlorinator or investing in one to ease the process of keeping your pool stable. Add them according to the directions on the package according to the volume of your pool. The solutions should be dispersed and accomplished their chemical reactions within six hours of treatment. You can also use...

Article in English: If it is not available, you will be less tempted. Fueling yourself properly at the beginning of the day ensures that you don’t put your body in starvation mode by lunchtime. Starvation mode essentially means that your body holds on to fat, even if you don’t eat much. It also ensures that when you do eat, you will overindulge to compensate. Try to make sure your breakfast is balanced nutritionally, including a good source of protein. Many popular breakfasts are very carbohydrate-heavy with little protein, making you hungry much sooner. Make sure to take at least 20 minutes to eat your meal or snack. Eating slowly gives the brain a chance to be satisfied. Slow eating will help you avoid eating more than is necessary to feel full. Take the time to appreciate the foods that you are eating. You will receive more satisfaction out of your meal by savoring it than if you quickly scarf it down. Try replacing three large meals a day with six smaller meals. There is evidence that suggests an association between more eating occasions and lower BMI. The theory is that eating more frequently will help keep you fuller throughout your day because your energy levels will be more stable, as will your blood sugar levels.  Try having protein at meals and snacks. This will help keep you full for longer periods of time. Beans, lean meats, and nuts are effective for this purpose. Consider eating a snack like cottage cheese before bed. Your body takes longer to break down the casein protein contained in cottage cheese; therefore, your metabolism will be working all night. Treating yourself with junk food once a week can undo all of your week’s hard work. One slice of cheesecake, for example, can be over 1,000 calories. If you really need something sweet, try eating a piece of fruit instead.  Dessert usually consists of bad carbohydrates that also leave you feeling hungry quickly. If you want a frozen treat, try freezing grapes or blueberries. You can also mash a banana and add a teaspoon of honey for an ice cream-like treat....

Article in English: If it is possible, book a seat that is on the aisle. You will likely want to get up every hour or two to visit the restroom, and if you are sitting in the aisle, you won’t have to bother any other passengers in order to do so. If you aren’t able to get an aisle seat, try not to worry. Yes, you will have to ask your neighbor every time you want to get up, and yes, they might get mildly annoyed. Remember, though, that you need to do what you need to do, and it’s not your responsibility to keep them happy. Politely ask them if you can please get up to use the restroom. If you are courteous and respectful, then you have nothing to worry about. Make sure you pack plenty of your product of choice. If you typically only use tampons or a menstrual cup, then you might also consider packing a few panty liners, which are like pads but thinner. These will help catch any leakage that might occur. If you use a menstrual cup, you could bring along an extra one if you have it. Otherwise, bring one or two more tampons or pads than you think you will need.  You should also consider packing a small hand sanitizer. Though it is likely that the bathroom on the plane will have soap and water, it’s good to have it just in case they run out. You might also pack a small hand lotion. The soap that is provided by the airline could be drying for your skin, and since you will need to wash your hands often, it’s good to have something to help with the dryness. It is possible that your feminine product will fail you, and some blood could leak through to your pants. If this is the case, you will be glad that you have an extra, clean pair of pants to put on.  If this happens, and you have a plastic bag with you that is big enough to store your pants, you can rinse them in the sink, and store them in the bag. If you don’t have a plastic bag that is big enough, roll your used pants up so that the blood-stained part is on the inside, and then you can just store them in the bottom of your carry-on until you can get to a place where you can wash...

Article in English: If it is possible, open a dialogue with your aggressor to try to learn his point of view. Ask him questions like, “Is there something specific I did to offend you?” or, “What can I do to make things right between us?" Do not be condescending or argumentative; instead, be understanding and empathetic. It may be difficult to face your adversary, so you could try texting or emailing. However, written words may have a different tone than your true intent, and may be taken the wrong way. Show compassion towards your adversary directly and indirectly. She might be going through a difficult time in her life or lack the skills to deal with certain situations appropriately. Recognize that your adversary is human and has feelings. Try to open your heart to your enemy and put yourself in her shoes to get an idea how she might be feeling. When you choose to forgive someone, recognize that this does not mean your adversary forgives you. You have no control over the actions and feelings of your adversary. Yet, this does not control your decision to forgive. Give up the feeling of control by surrendering yourself and trusting that things will work out. Surrender the grasp you think you have on your adversary to help yourself forgive him. Forgiveness and reconciliation differ greatly because reconciliation requires both parties to work together, whereas forgiveness only requires yourself. Forgiving someone doesn’t mean letting her off the hook, it simply means that you accept what happened and you are willing to move on. To “forgive and forget” may not be the best strategy. It is good to remember what your adversary has done to you so that you can learn from the experience and recognize it if it happens again.

If the liquid is brown and discolored, then the leak is probably coming from a dishwasher intake or drain pipe. If the liquid is clear, it is most likely a leak from the sink. You may be able to feel where water is dripping. This may solve your problem without requiring further repair. Turn on the water to see if the leak continues. You may need to shut off the water source, take apart the hose and remove the seal. Take the seal to a hardware store to make sure you get the right item.

Article in English: If it looks different from the vaginal discharge you usually secrete, then there is a chance that it is abnormal and a symptom of an infection or change in the vaginal environment. A good rule of thumb is that if the discharge isn't clear or white, then you may have a problem. The most common symptoms of a pathology include:   White, thick, lumpy discharge that is itchy. Green and foamy discharge. Grayish, yellowish, brownish or greenish discharge. Foul-smelling discharge. Discharge accompanied by pain, itchiness or burning, bleeding, etc. Discharge that it is heavier or thicker than usual. Having examined the discharge, now assess which of the conditions that can cause abnormal discharge may apply to you. If your discharge does not fall in the ‘normal’ range of colors and textures, it may be a result of one of the following:   Bacterial vaginosis: This is the most common cause of abnormal discharge in women of childbearing age. Bacterial vaginosis is a mild vaginal infection caused by "bad" bacteria. Essentially there are "good" and bad types of bacteria and the good types help to regulate the growth of the bad types. In cases of bacterial vaginosis this balance is upset and there are too many bad bacteria. Symptoms include grayish-yellow, slippery, and fishy-smelling discharge as well as itching or burning in the vagina. Most discharges with odor are due to bacterial vaginosis.   Vaginal candidiasis (yeast infection): If your discharge is white but thick and lumpy (think cottage cheese), it could be a sign of a yeast infection. In addition to the change in texture and color, you may also notice itching and burning sensations. Yeast infections do not usually produce a strong scent. These infections are the second most common type of vaginal infection among women. They are particularly likely to occur after a regimen of antibiotics, in patients with diabetes or immunocompromised patients.   Trichomoniasis: Discharge that is slightly green in hue and ‘frothy’ in texture is typically a symptom of...

Article in English: If it looks like your mom is going to say no, you might feel the telltale signs of anger and frustration: your skin starts feeling hot, your heart beats faster, your voice starts getting higher and louder.  Even though you're allowed to feel how you feel, you should know that part of winning an argument involves learning to control your emotions. Work on keeping your voice normal and level — if you notice yourself getting louder or the pitch of your voice getting higher, take calming breaths to work out that tension you feel in your throat when you get upset. Balance your logical argument and your feelings. The discussion should be more about the argument you brainstormed in the previous section than how you're feeling in the current moment. If you worry that you're going to lose your temper or cry, show your maturity by asking your mom if you can take a break until you calm down. You might say, “Mom, I think I'm getting too worked up about this, and I'm not going to help my case by crying or yelling. But I do want to keep talking about this. I just need a break to regroup. Can we do that, please?” Words can have a huge effect in how your argument comes across to your mother. There's a big difference between “you never let me do what I want” and “it would make me so happy and grateful if you let me do this.” Some language you can keep in mind includes:  'Please may I...' 'Could I please...' 'It would be really great if I could...' 'It would really help me with ______ if I could...' 'I would really appreciate...' In any argument, no matter how respectful and civil it is, you'll probably feel the urge to keep making your case, even when she's talking. This is very disrespectful, and suggests you think you deserve more time to speak than she does.  Remember that in any conversation with your mother, she's the one with the power. If you rub her the wrong way, your chances of getting whatever you want are basically zero. Control the urge to speak over her, even if you have great points to make. Wait until she's...

Article in English: If it rains while you're camping, it's important to let the tent thoroughly dry inside and out before packing it away, or you'll have a mildewy surprise next time you want to go camping. Hang it up on some low-hanging branches, or on the clothes line when you get home to let it dry out thoroughly, and then pack it away securely for next time. It's important to not form creases in your tent, which can start weak spots in the fabric that will widen into holes. Roll, stuff, and cram your tent, but avoid folding it and pressing sharp creases into it. It's better to have a stuffed and wrinkly tent next time you go to pitch it, then to have really sharp creases that'll form holes. Remember, a tent isn't a fashion statement, it's a shelter from the elements. Sometimes, it can be a while between camping trips. It's a good idea to open up your tent semi-regularly and air it out in the yard to make sure there isn't any moisture ruining the fabric or mice taking up residence in your abode. You don't have to pitch it, just take it out, shake it out, and put it back in a different way.

Article in English: If it regularly rains and you’re keeping the plumeria outside, you don’t need to water it. However, if your area is suffering from a drought or the plumeria is indoors, thoroughly soak the top of the soil and let the water drain out of the bottom of the pot once a week. Do not overwater your plumeria because it will kill it. If the soil 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep feels moist, it does not need water. If your plumeria doesn’t get enough sunlight, flower buds will not form. If outside, place the pot in direct sunlight. Keep the plumeria in the pot if you decide to put it outside. Plumeria doesn’t fare well in the cold. While plumeria can grow perfectly fine in room temperature conditions, frost and cold can kill the plant or cause it to go into dormancy. To prevent this, bring your plant inside when it becomes too cold. If your plumeria has been transplanted into the ground, it will go through a normal 3-month dormancy phase when the temperature gets cold. Purchase an organic plant-based fertilizer made specifically for plumeria or tropical plants. You can purchase liquid fertilizer at a gardening store or online. Thoroughly spray down the leaves and stem of the cutting during the spring and summer, then stop fertilizing the plant in the fall and winter.  Mix or dilute the fertilizer according to the instructions on the label. Spritzing the liquid fertilizer on the plumeria during the growing season will encourage the flowers to bloom. Watering with diluted fertilizer will also encourage healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, but a regular feeding every 1-3 weeks is necessary for flowers to form. to shape it or to remove dead branches. Sterilize your pruning shears with alcohol. Then, cut the branch off 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the main stem of the plant and compost or discard the branches. You can prune your plumeria to prevent a disease from spreading or to stop branches from growing in an undesired direction. If your plumeria is suffering from mites or flies, a light horticultural oil spray (1% solution) can keep them...

These are two ways outside glass makers try to convince tourists that the item was likely made in Murano without stating it is.  An item that is labeled “Made in Murano” may be counterfeit. Currently, many items are made in China and sold in Venice as Murano glass. Similarly, if the item says “Murano-style” it is unlikely to be authentic Murano glass. New glass from Murano should be accompanied by a certificate from the factory, guaranteeing it is Murano glass. If bought and sold by art or antiques dealers, it should accompany the piece of glass in all sales. Murano glass made before 1980 is unlikely to have a certificate, so this is only a surefire identification method for new glass. These are the most commonly counterfeit items, sold as Murano glass, but made elsewhere. Move on to the next identification methods to identify whether or not it is Murano glass.

Article in English: If it starts to luff, you have two choices: tighten the sail sheet until it stops luffing, or steer away from the wind (bear off). When the sail luffs, it means that you are heading too much into the wind for your current sail setting. If you bear off slightly, (away from the wind) your sails will stop luffing. If you see it change so that the wind is coming from a direction that is more behind you, you will be wasting energy. Let out the sail until it is perpendicular to the wind. You will be constantly watching the sails, the telltales, and trimming sails because the wind won't blow from a constant direction for long.  When the wind is at your back and side (aft quarter), it's called a broad reach. This is the most efficient point of sail as both sails are full of wind and pushing the boat at full force. When the wind is at your back, you are running with the wind. This is not as efficient as reaching, because air moving over the sail generates lift and more force than just the wind pushing the boat. When running with the wind, you can pull the jib over to the other side of the boat where it will fill. This is called wing-on-wing, and you have to maintain a steady hand on the tiller to keep this sail configuration. Some boats have a "whisker pole" which attaches to the front of the mast and the clew of the jib which makes the jib much easier to control and keep full of wind. Be sure to be vigilant of obstacles and other vessels, as having both sails in front of you blocks a significant portion of your view.  Be careful—when the boat is running, the sails will be way off to the side, and because the wind is basically behind you the boom can change sides suddenly (jibe or gybe), coming across the cockpit with quite a bit of force. If you have a wind direction indicator at the top of your mast, do not sail downwind (run) so that the wind indicator points toward the mainsail. If it does, you are sailing with the boom on the windward side (sailing by the lee) and are at high risk of an accidental jibe. When this...

Article in English: If it's 40 degrees outside and you're just dying to wear that dress, leg warmers and leggings or footless tights are a great option. Black tights and black leg warmers are an understated, classic combination. It's like wearing boots, but much more comfortable! Make sure they're a little bit bunched, especially around the ankle. They shouldn't be so low they're dragging on the ground, but there should be overlap between your shoe and the leg warmer. This one takes a bit more confidence, though it's a totally acceptable look. As long as your heels are on the understated side, leg warmers will look good. Stick to heels that are nude, brown, black, or gray. Leg warmers are a cozy look. If you're wearing stripper heels that glow-in-the-dark, leg warmers will look a bit out of place. Unless your leg warmers are glow-in-the-dark too, of course. This is the same concept as with a dress. Tights are only necessary if the weather requires it, though they can streamline the leg. If you have a skirt that's a little on the short side, leg warmers can make it more modest. Your shoe options are endless here. Flats, pumps, boots -- it's all good. Just keep the colors neutral yet varied! You know those skinny jeans you have, but your pear shape makes you feel a little funny wearing them too often? Wear leg warmers over them! Problem immediately solved. Again, your footwear here can be anything. Anything but flip flops! For an extra textual touch (or a bit more warmth), wear them just peeking above your boots. Anywhere from 2-6 inches is good. Don't worry about matching colors. Unless you're wearing black, this will be hard to do. Different shades of brown and beige are totally fine. It'll just draw attention to your attention for detail! If the pants, skirt, or dress you're wearing don't go well with your calf-high boots, you can get a similar look with ankle boots and leg warmers. Just pull them a bit over the tops of your booties and scrunch 'em up! Wear them with Converse or Converse high tops for an urban look. No one said...

Article in English: If it's an area you're not familiar with, you'll want to know how to get there, where to park, and what traffic is beforehand. Not knowing any of these things may make you late -- a quality that may not be tolerated. Better safe than sorry!  A few days before, go scope out the area. Find parking and the right door. If you're going during rush hour, consider alternate routes to get there quicker. Knowing the area and being sure of how to get there will help you calm down and help you concentrate on what you should really be thinking about. Check out their website, reports, and what others have to say about them. This knowledge will come in handy during the interview. You'll be able to cater your image to what they're looking for if you've familiarized yourself with their mission statement and policy. If you know what you're getting into, you'll not only know if you're a good fit, but you'll also be able to turn the interview into more of a conversation. Your interviewer will be more at ease (they may not enjoy the process either) and you'll leave a friendly, knowledgeable impression. When your interviewer mentions something about their company, you can expand and ask further questions with your base knowledge. The idea is to be as prepared as possible -- and this goes for your look, too. If you've got your interview clothes ready, there's that much less to worry about. What's more, looking as professional as possible is a lot easier to do when you're not in a time crunch in the morning.  Stay away from jeans. Depending on the job you're interviewing for, you may need to bust out the suit. Whatever your position on the ladder, a skirt or tie never fails. Just as with anywhere, leave the extra jewelry and flamboyant clothes at home. Good hygiene is important, too, but that's not code for bathing in perfume. Remember, this is your very first impression. Before you even open your mouth, the interviewer is considering your look. Being early gives you leeway and puts forth the best impression. There may be stairs...

Article in English: If it's in the Documents directory, for example, you'll open your Documents folder. You'll need to enter the zipped folder's name exactly as it appears on the folder here. Remember to take into account pacing and capitalization. It's in the bottom-left corner of the screen. This icon is a black box with a white ">_" on it. You should see Terminal either in the bar on the left side of the Menu window, or in the group of programs listed in the Menu window. You can also search for Terminal by clicking the search bar at the top of the Menu window and then typing in terminal. You'll replace the "filename" part of the command with your zipped folder's name. For example, if your folder is named "BaNaNa", you'd type unzip BaNaNa.zip into Terminal. Doing so will run your command and unzip your selected folder.

Article in English: If it's not already straight, you may want to straighten it as well. This haircut may not be suitable for people with fine or thin hair as it will remove quite a bit of weight from the bottom of your hair. Using a fine-toothed comb, divide your hair into two equal parts, using a mirror to ensure that the line down the center of your head is straight, and that the two halves are even. Tie the two halves of your hair into two separate ponytails (also known as pigtails). Ensure that they sit low on your head, behind and below your ears — close to where your hair meets your neck at the sides of your head. To tighten each pigtail, grab your hair a couple of inches below the ponytail holder/elastic band, and split it in half so that each hand holds one half. Then, gently pull the two halves away from one another so that the elastic band moves upwards, closer to the base of your head. When you've reached the desired length STOP! Do this for both sides. If you cut your hair straight across, it will look choppy; for a more natural look, hold the scissors at a 45-degree angle and cut upward into your hair. Once you've cut each pigtail, you'll notice that your hair comes to a point at the back. If you like the V-shape at the back of your hair, move on to the next step. If you don't like it, you can remove the point by tying your hair into a single ponytail at the nape of your neck, and then clipping off the point. Trim your ends and snip any bits of hair that seem longer than the rest. When point-cutting into the ends, hold the scissors at a 45 degree angle to the hair.

Article in English: If it's possible to give your friend another chance, creating a concrete time frame for them to improve performance by coaching or training them toward a specific set of goals. Schedule weekly meetings to discuss improvement.  Make it clear that your friend's job will be terminated if the new set of goals is not met in the time discussed. If it doesn't happen, go through with the termination knowing that you gave them as much of a chance as possible. Document your discussion and keep this report with your employee records. You may need to deal with objections by referring to the documentation of your previous conversations, so keep good records. If it's in your power, you might consider reorganizing your friend's job to essentially demote your friend, or give them an opportunity to save face by quitting. You'll need to have a similar conversation, letting them know that their performance isn't up to par, but that you value their friendship and wanted to offer them this opportunity in a job with fewer responsibilities.  Organize the position such that your friend's weaknesses might be lessened by the new position, making it a win-win. Your friend either gets to leave the company for greener pastures, or stay on in a position in which there is an opportunity for success.  Alternatively, consider a promotion or a transfer. While this might be considered "passing the buck," if you can get rid of your friend without firing them outright, you can avoid the ugly confrontation. If you can get your friend a new job with a similar company, you'll have solved both your problems. It may be that there is too much conflict of interest involved in your firing your friend. In this case, talk to either a supervisor, subordinate, or the HR department at your company to plan for another course of action.

Article in English: If it's raining, put the book in a plastic bag before taking it out of the library. If you don't have one, ask a librarian. Avoid stuffing paperback books in your pockets, where they could get bent or torn. Keep pens, pencils, highlighters, and markers in a separate compartment from your book if you put it in your book bag. Animals can chew your book. Small children can draw on it or tear the pages. If you share your home with animals and/or children, place your book on a tall shelf, dresser, or bookcase when you're not reading it. As soon as you bring it home, put your book neatly on a sturdy shelf or table. Don't leave it on a sofa, chair, or bed. Someone may accidentally sit on it and damage the cover or pages. Avoid places where your book could get wet, such as a sink edge or near a bathtub. Make sure your storage place isn't near heating vents or radiators. Heat can cause books to dry out and become brittle. Any flat piece of paper or paperboard can serve as a bookmark. Don't dog-ear pages to keep your place. Avoid using a pencil or other bulky object. It could bend the cover or pages out of shape. Don't tent the book open to hold your place. Avoid sticky notes, which can leave adhesive on the pages. If you're feeling crafty, try making your own bookmark from any number of materials. You don't want to leave your book at school, on the bus, or at a friend's house. Put it back in your bag when you're finished reading. Then, close your bag securely to prevent your book from falling out. If they lose it or destroy it, you'll have to pay for it. Many libraries will notify patrons when books are returned. If someone wants to borrow your book, tell them to ask the library about this service. You can also have them accompany you when you return the book so that they can check it out that day.

Article in English: If it's really slow-draining, this may take a while, but if you remove the water, your drain-clearing mixture will be able to unclog faster. You have several options for creating a non-commercial drain opener. Most involve vinegar and another substance that create a chemical reaction when combined. See if you have any of these drain-opening agents on hand:  Vinegar (white or apple cider vinegar work) is the acidic base for creating the foaming reaction. Lemon juice is acidic like vinegar, but smells refreshing. This makes lemon juice a good option for clearing out clogged kitchen sinks. Baking soda is frequently used as a multipurpose cleanser. Salt will help eat away at the clog. Borax is frequently used as a multipurpose cleanser. No mixing is needed before pouring down the drain. The mixture will foam up on its own as the chemical reaction occurs.  For a vinegar and baking soda combination: use 1/2 cup of baking soda and 1/2 cup of white vinegar. For a lemon juice and baking soda combination: use 1 cup of baking soda and 1 cup of lemon juice. For a salt, borax, and vinegar combination: use 1/4 cup of borax, 1/4 cup of salt, and 1/2 cup of vinegar.

Article in English: If it's too hard for you to continue to be her friend, you're allowed to tell her the truth. In some ways, it might be selfish – keep this in mind. You're going to cause her some serious heartache because you were unable to wrap your mind around the fact that she is unavailable. You may not end up being friends at all if you tell her you have romantic feelings for her. Always express your feelings in a healthy way. You want to talk through the situation without being rude or harsh with her.  She may be surprised when you reveal that you are into her, so you don't want to make her feel self-conscious.  Any accusation, even accidental, will hurt you. Never make it seem like she was leading you on. Say something along the lines of “I hope you don't feel like I'm betraying our friendship, but the more time I spend with you the more I like you. I know you like someone else, and I don't want to get in the way of that. But just know that if there ever comes a time when you feel the same way about me, I'll still be just as into you. Share feelings effectively by starting with the phrase, "I feel." If you start by saying, "you make me feel..." and then express your emotional state, she will feel like she's being accused. State your feelings from your own perspective. This will ensure that you're speaking about your subjective experience. Don't allow her to feel victimized. Remember that she's already seeing someone else, or that she likes someone else. Even if you feel that you are a better fit for her, you've put her in a difficult position. Remember that, like you, she has complex thoughts, plans, dreams, and hopes.  Her relationship gives her comfort and safety, and you've just challenged this with your feelings. Search for verbal cues when you tell her how you feel. If she attempts to change the subject, she may be uncomfortable about the circumstances. If she doesn't want to talk about it, just keep it short and simple and then leave her alone. If you've solidified your friendship, then you should have an...

Article in English: If it's too warm or cold, you won't be able to create the stiff, glossy peaks you need to make a good meringue. One little splatter of yolk will prevent you from achieving good volume and high peaks. The heavy yolk changes the composition of the mixture, as do bits of shell.  If you drop some yolk or shell into the meringue, it's best to start over rather than trying to fish it out. You can avoid getting shell in the whites by cracking the eggs over a bowl different from the one you use to mix up the meringue, then transferring the whites carefully to the mixing bowl. Make sure the mixing bowl you start with is completely clean and dry. During the mixing process, avoid getting even the merest drop of water in the bowl, as it throws off the composition of the meringue and ruins the dish. To achieve stiff, glossy peaks, you need to add the sugar slowly to give it time to mix in thoroughly and evenly.

Article in English: If it's very cold outside, wet hair can actually freeze, which can cause breakage. To avoid this, make sure to get your hair reasonably dry before going out when it's below freezing. If you're accustomed to wrapping your hair in a cotton towel, you may be causing damage to your hair without even knowing it. Try swapping out your towel for a microfiber one, which will be much gentler on wet hair. Gently patting your hair with the towel instead of wrapping it will also help prevent damage. Hair is at its weakest and most vulnerable when it is wet, so avoid using your regular brush to detangle wet strands. Instead, separate your strands with your fingers, or if necessary, with a wide-toothed comb. This will cause much less damage to your hair. Tying your hair back with hair ties can also cause damage if you're not careful. Be sure to choose the right kind of hair ties and try to keep your hair bands a little loose, especially when your hair is wet.  Never use rubber bands to tie back your hair, as these can cause a lot of damage.  Always use seamless ponytail holders to avoid snagging your hair. You put a lot of stress on certain sections of your hair when you tie it up in the same style frequently. Try switching up your style frequently to avoid damage. Hair ties cause even more damage to hair when it is very wet. Ideally, you should not use hair ties until your hair has dried at least somewhat. Tying up damp hair is fine. If you don't have time to dry your hair at all, you may want to consider using clips and bobby pins to hold your hair back instead of elastic ties.

Article in English: If it's your first time seeing a movie together, avoid movies with a serious or depressing theme. Avoid romantic movies as well. Pick a comedy or action movie to keep the mood lighthearted. Romantic comedies can be a fun way to have a few laughs while setting a date mood. Don't assume she wants to see a chick flick. Pick something you'll both like, not just a sappy love story that you picked because you think it's for girls. You'll be bored, and if she's the kind of girl who loves scary movies, she'll probably be bored too. Just ask her what kind of movies she likes! The last thing you want is to get to the movie theater only to find out that there aren't any seats left. Buy your tickets online or drop by the theater a few hours before the date so you'll have your tickets ahead of time. This will show her that you cared enough to plan ahead. You don't always have to pay for everything in a relationship, but a good rule of thumb is that the person who does the asking usually picks up the bill for a date. Being late doesn't make you seem cool or like you have a busy life, it makes you seem inconsiderate. Try showing up about 5 minutes early. This will show her that you're interested without making you seem overeager. You can use the time before the movie to hang out and chat for a bit since you won't be able to talk when the movie is playing. You'll be sitting in a chair for about 2 hours, and more if you decide to get something to eat after the movie, so choose an outfit that is comfortable but nice-looking. Think along the lines of a nice shirt and jeans or an Oxford shirt and khakis. If you can afford it, it's a nice gesture to offer her a snack and a drink to enjoy during the movie. Ask her what she likes, then get it for her. Keep it simple, though — there's no need to buy her the entire concession stand. If you notice that you're both laughing at the same part of the movie, look over and catch her eye. Laughing together can make you both feel closer to each other, and you'll have something to talk about...

Article in English: If it’s a major operator with a well-established site, just bow out gracefully. However, you might get lucky and find that the domain was purchased on a whim, as a backup, or without careful consideration, in which case you may be able to negotiate a deal. Before so much as hinting at a price, simply email to ask whether or not the domain is for sale. If you are known or can clearly be linked to a thriving business, create a generic alternate email address through which to contact them, as your success might be leveraged against you. Be aware, however, that an informal-sounding email address is more likely to be regarded as spam or junk mail. According to internet entrepreneur James Siminoff, there are four basic haggling scenarios:  The owner suggests an unreasonable amount. If this is the case, counter with what you think is fair instead of low-balling it. It’s no secret that domain names are valuable real estate, so your underwhelming offer is unlikely to make the owner take you seriously. The owner asks you to suggest a price. If this is the case, they want to sell and are likely to try to negotiate up. Suggest 20 to 30% below your bottom range and let the haggling begin. The owner asks for less than you’d prefer. Accept, but not too enthusiastically, or they might begin to suspect they’re being too generous. The owner suggests exactly the price you’d prefer. See above. Even if you casually agree to buy the domain via email, the communication might be used against you in court as a legally-binding contract should you change your mind. Until you’re absolutely certain that you want to make a deal, agree to buy the domain provided that all the terms are agreeable. This will leave you an escape hatch if things go south. If the owner out-and-out agrees to your price, the email becomes an enforceable contract.

Article in English: If it’s around 12.8 °C (55.0 °F) or colder, honeybees cannot take off.  If a honeybee looks normal but is moving slowly or simply can’t seem to get off the ground, they may just be cold.  Use a piece of stiff paper, such as a playing card, to pick up the bee and bring it somewhere warmer. After it warms up, it will likely simply fly away! If you need to bring it indoors to warm up, keep it in a ventilated, lidded container. Once it starts to move around more, bring the container outside and leave it there with the lid off. If the bee has been caught in your beer or lemonade, take it out! Its wings are likely too wet to allow it to fly. Place it in a protected, dry, and sunny area outside so that its wings can dry off. Ideally, place it right on a flower! If a bee has been cold or shaken up, eating can help them get back in shape.  Blend a mixture of 30% true honey and 70% room temperature drinking water. Use a pipette or eye dropper to drop a tiny amount on a surface within the bee's reach.  Be sure that you’re placing the mixture on a surface that will hold the bee food without soaking it up. Take care not to drop the mixture directly onto the bee. A 1:1 mix of organic sugar and water will also work. If you find a grounded bee outdoors in the middle of summer or early fall, it is likely an old bee.  Look closely at its wings.  If they are ragged on the edges, they may simply be nearing the end of their life cycle – but they may also still have a bit more foraging left in them! Bring them inside to feed them, and bring them back outside if they regain the strength to fly.  If the wings are still mostly intact, you’ve likely found a male worker bee that was taking work too seriously and forgot to drink. Leave him outside in the sun with a bit of honey and water mixture. He’ll get back to work once he’s satiated. If a bee is moving around a bit, it will likely regain the ability to fly after a while. It may simply be resting, and is better off being left alone.  This applies to bees with ragged wings too.   If...

Article in English: If it’s calling for sunshine and warm weather every day of your trip, you don’t need to pack a heavy sweater or a rain jacket. If you’re worried the weather could change, remember that you can always buy or borrow something at your destination.  If the weather is calling for rain, pack an unopened rain poncho instead of a bulky rain jacket. It will take up less space in your bag. If you're traveling somewhere cold, pack clothes you can layer up with instead of a heavy winter coat to save space in your bag. Try to pack neutral shades like brown, black, cream, white, and gray. This will allow you to mix and match your clothes so you don’t have to pack as many outfits.  For men, basic button-up shirts in neutral shades are a versatile item that will go well with anything. For women, pack a simple black dress that you can dress up or down depending on the occasion. A blazer is also a great choice that you can wear casually or in a more formal setting. Avoid packing a different pair of shoes for every day or event during your trip. Shoes can’t be folded or rolled up in your bag to save space. Aim for two pairs of shoes if possible; a casual pair of walking shoes and then something nicer for when you’re in a more formal setting. If you’re going somewhere warm, particularly the beach, pack flip flops or sandals instead of sneakers. They take up half the space and your feet will be more comfortable in the heat. If you wash your clothes on your trip, you won’t have to pack as many clothes in the first place. If the place you’re staying doesn’t have a washing machine, use the tub or sink to wash your clothes.  To save even more room in your bag, skip packing laundry detergent and buy some when you arrive at your destination. If there’s nowhere to buy detergent, wash your clothes with liquid dish soap instead.  Pack a stain remover pen in your bag. It won’t take up much room, and it will be more convenient than washing your clothes.

Article in English: If it’s getting to the point where you aren’t able to have a discussion about politics without a huge fight taking place, it’s time to take a break from the topic. Agree to take time off from discussing politics at all. Together, decide on an appropriate time for the break. Perhaps after the break, you can begin to start discussing politics again.   To approach the subject you could say, “I think we need to stop talking politics for a little while. It seems like we fight more now because of the subject, and I love you too much to let this affect our relationship.” Voicing that your concern about the relationship is the driving force behind this decision will show your partner you care about the quality of the relationship and want to make it work. Your spouse may think they stand with a certain political party, but they may also still be working out their beliefs. Being supportive and withholding from judgment or criticism can help them to develop their political values and opinions.  Part of being in a relationship is helping the other person become the best they can be. Let them know that you are there for them and leave your personal opinions out of the equation, unless they are asked for. For instance, you could tell your partner, “Although we have a difference of opinion, I respect that you are working to develop your own political beliefs. I will be here to support and help you in any way that I can.” Letting them know that you want them to grow and become well-informed and strong in their convictions will show that you are able to put politics aside and focus on the bigger picture. If you and your partner differ politically, they likely aren’t going to want to hear what you have to say about other people whose views you oppose. Not only will your partner probably think you are negatively speaking about their own views, but they may take offense that you don’t seem to respect differences of opinion.  Instead, simply don’t comment on other people’s political views, especially if you know it is a hot...

Summary in Russian:

Не обсуждайте политику. Поддерживайте партнера, когда у него формируются свои взгляды. Не нужно резко высказываться о чужих политических взглядах. Смотрите в будущее.


Article in English: If it’s in your sink, for instance, pour water over it.  If the rust is on a vertical surface, use a spray bottle filled with water and spray it down. If your rusty stainless steel is on a countertop or other horizontally-oriented surface, this should be easy.  If your rusty stainless steel is on a vertically-oriented area, place a tray or a layer of newspaper below the rusty area.  Dip your fingertips in the baking soda and flick it at the wet, rusty area.  The baking soda should stick to the dampened rusty area. After applying the baking soda, wait 30-60 minutes. Use a soft-bristled brush, a sponge, or an old toothbrush to clean the rust from the stainless steel by rubbing or scrubbing.  Move the brush or sponge in the direction of the stainless steel grain. Once the rust has come loose, rinse the stainless steel or wipe it with a damp paper towel.  Dry the area with a dry paper towel or microfiber dish cloth.

Article in English: If it’s just some guy or girl you’ve been talking to at the bar, health club, motor vehicle bureau line, etc., it may be tempting to just make up an excuse to avoid going on a date.  After all, you’re not likely to see the person again anytime soon.  Then again, if you aren’t going to see him or her again, why not just be honest?  A little temporary awkwardness will probably leave both of you feeling better in the end. Something as simple as "It was nice talking to you, but I'd like to just leave it at that.  Thanks," might do the trick. You won’t have the time for lots of preparation beforehand, as in readying to break-up with a new boyfriend/girlfriend, so don’t try to come up with a long explanation.  Just be clear, concise, and honest about why you don’t want to pursue a relationship with this person. Stick to the “I” statements again.  Focus on why you aren’t suited for a person like him/her.  Maybe "I'm sorry, I don't share your passion for [extreme sports/world travel/online poker], so I know we wouldn't end up a good fit." Act like an adult. While the fake phone number might avoid the face-to-face awkwardness, you’re still going to hurt the other person eventually, and probably more than an honest turn-away would.  If kindness is truly important to you, it should be important even when you’re out of sight. If you really have to use the fake boyfriend/girlfriend routine, at least don’t start with it.  Try an honest, direct, kind denial of interest first.  It will usually do the trick. You’ll be inclined to want to keep things light, but if you go too far -- making a silly voice or face, quoting lines from a movie, etc. -- the other person will probably just think you are insulting him or her.  Don’t seem like a jerk when you’re trying to be a nice guy/gal. Be careful with sarcasm.  It may be obvious sarcasm to you to say "Oh, as if someone like me would ever go out with someone like you" with a fake, highfalutin voice and appropriate smirk at the end, and maybe the other person would usually get the...

Article in English: If keeping your relationship secret makes you uncomfortable, or you are unfamiliar with your partner's reasons, the best solution is to have a candid discussion. Choose a time when you and your partner can talk without distractions and share your concerns. Use "I" statements to avoid making them defensive. You might say something like "We've been dating for a few months now and you still haven't introduced me to your family or your friends. I am slightly hurt that you are keeping our relationship secret. Can you explain to me why you don't feel comfortable with us being public?" The person you are with may want to keep your relationship under wraps out of respect for their ex, if they just called it quits recently. Your partner may also want to protect you from any negativity from the ex or those around them.  For example, the ex may retaliate or harbor ill will towards you simply because they are still in love with your new love. On the other hand, your new love may still have feelings for the ex, and wants to keep your relationship a secret in case the ex shows interest in getting back together. Some people are afraid of the terms “boyfriend” or “girlfriend.” Perhaps they’ve had bad luck with committed relationships or commitment simply scares them. Whatever the reason, some just don’t want their relationships out in the open. If your partner’s parents or other people in their life have strong opinions about who they should be with, they may want to keep the relationship a secret, particularly if you don’t fit that mold. Keeping it a secret can keep some of the stress off of them, but it could also negatively affect your relationship. They may also want to shield you from any criticism you may receive from those around them. If you are upset because your partner does not want to go public and they are your coworker or boss, then consider how your relationship may affect your work reputations. In some cases, fraternization between employees and/or superiors is strictly off-limits, which means that keeping...

Summary in Russian:

Открыто сообщите о своем беспокойстве. Ваш партнер недавно состоял в других отношениях. Ваш новый партнер еще не готов к официальным отношениям. Ваш партнер не желает слышать критику. В вашей организации запрещены отношения между коллегами. У вашего партнера есть дети. Ваш партнер скрывает свою ориентацию. Причиной может оказаться неверность партнера.


Article in English: If laughter is important to you, then you will make an effort to laugh when you're around others. It is part of your personality to be a person full of laughter, which shows you feel joy in life. In contrast, boring people often seem joyless and do not laugh often.  Laughter brings people closer together. It bonds them together socially through the shared experience of laughter.  If you make laughter a priority, this shows that are a joyful person. It shows that you are in touch with yourself and others. Sometimes, it's good to dance like a goofball, have unusual conversations, or do silly things. Holding back your silly side from others may close you off from them and make them think of you as a boring person.  Always involve others in silliness. Don't be a clown for others, but instead bring them into any fun activity you are doing. Being silly also shows that you don't care too much about what others are thinking. You are interested and engaged in others, but not reliant on them for your sense of self-worth. Boring people often wait for others to entertain them. Instead, start the fun by yourself and encourage others to join in engaging in fun and playful activities.   Start joking with others when the opportunity arises. They may be willing to join in the fun, but were just waiting for others to start. Do something silly or outrageous to gauge everyone's reaction. If they are amused or entertained, then you know that they are also interested in laughing and having a good time. Humor is a sign of intelligence and flexibility in terms of outlook. Boring people often seem inflexible and not willing to change their perspective.   When people are talking, think of funny ways to take their words or their actions. Don't insult them, but try to find the humor in any conversation. Don't be afraid to make fun of yourself. Making fun of yourself shows that you do not take yourself too seriously.

Article in English: If linens, bedding, towels and the like remain, they should be washed or cleaned and then stored in boxes, preferably rodent-proof ones. Strip beds to allow the mattresses to air out. Open empty drawers and closets; use mothballs in the others. Vacuum carpets and floors. This will ensure that no crumbs or other sources of food remain for vermin. Dispose of or move potentially flammable items such as oily rags and stacked papers, before you leave.

Article in English: If locking lips seems like too much of a commitment, try kissing a girl by giving her a quick peck. Turn your head away from her lips and purse your lips together so that your teeth aren’t showing. Lean into her cheek and give her a quick kiss to show some affection. Always get consent first, even for a simple peck on the cheek. While kissing her, if you’re confident that you can lift her off of the ground, wrap your arms around her waist and lift her up while keeping your lips against her. This is a classic romantic gesture and will show her that you’re really attracted to her and enjoying the kiss. If she resists in any way, don’t try to keep lifting her up. Some girls don’t like being lifted off of the floor. Once you’ve gotten used to kissing one another, you can start to make out. While kissing, run the very tip of your tongue over her lower lip a few times. If she opens her mouth a bit more, then she may be interested. Introduce your tongue slowly and once your tongues are touching, move your tongue slowly around her mouth.  Don’t overdo it with the French kissing if you have a lot of saliva built up in your mouth. Take breaks! It can be hard to breathe if you’re mouths are locked in a French kiss for more than 10-20 seconds.

Article in English: If menstrual cramps are keeping you up at night, increase your intake of omega-3 fats during the day to help reduce your cramps at night. Omega-3 fats may help with inflammation and, since cramping is helped with decreased inflammation, it may help lessen this period symptom. Incorporate more foods with omega-3s, such as:  Nuts and seeds, such as flaxseeds, butternuts, walnuts, and chia seeds Nut oils, such as walnut or flaxseed oil Fish, such as salmon, whitefish, sardines, shad, and mackerel Herbs and spices, such as oregano, cloves, basil, and marjoram Vegetables, such as sprouted radish seeds, Chinese broccoli, and spinach . If anxiety or restlessness are common occurrences during your period, increase your intake of vitamin D. It also helps inflammation. The best way to get vitamin D is through skin exposure. Take 10 to 15 minutes of your day and expose your bare skin to sunlight, which will trigger natural vitamin D production in your body. If you can't get enough through sun, try to eat more foods with vitamin D, such as cod liver oil, tuna, salmon, mackerel, cheese, yogurt, and milk. These can be extremely helpful during winter months when you get less natural sun exposure. There are a number of supplements that can help you with your cramps as well as anxiety and restlessness associated with periods. Always check the dosing information and possible interactions with your doctor or gynecologist before starting a supplement regimen. Common supplements that are helpful for period symptoms include:  Magnesium. Deficiencies of this mineral may cause worse cramps, so increase your intake of magnesium in the 3 days before your period starts. Ask your doctor about taking supplements, or get dietary magnesium from green, leafy vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and fortified cereals.  Calcium. Like magnesium, deficiencies may cause more intense cramps. Take 500 to 1000 mg daily before your period starts to reduce cramping and overall period pain, which will help you sleep.  Vitamin C. Cramps can be improved by...

Article in English: If mild pain in your upper right abdomen lasts more than a few days, schedule an appointment with your doctor. For serious symptoms, seek emergency medical attention.  Serious symptoms include pain that’s so severe you can't sit up or move your stomach, fever, chills, and yellowing of the skin or eyes. If you suspect you have gallbladder issues, you should talk to your doctor before trying to treat it on your own. Tell your doctor about your symptoms, any history of medical issues, and any medications you take. Allow them to take tests, such as blood work and imaging scans. These tests will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis and come up with the best course of treatment.  While gallstones are a common cause of pain in the upper right abdomen, your symptoms could be related to an infection, bile duct blockage, or other issue. Treatment options for gallstones and bile blockages include surgical removal of the gallbladder, endoscopic (non-surgical) removal of stones, medications that dissolve the stones, and sound wave therapy, which breaks up the stones.  If you have a gallbladder infection, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics. For a severe infection, your gallbladder may have to be removed. If you required surgery, you’ll need to care for the surgical site according to your doctor’s instructions. While you might spend up to a week in the hospital, many people are discharged within a day of surgery.  Following surgery, your doctor might put you on a liquid diet to help your gallbladder rest. For both surgical and non-surgical treatments, you’ll likely need to stick to a low-cholesterol, gallbladder-friendly diet indefinitely. After gallbladder surgery, you might experience more frequent bowel movements and diarrhea. Changes in bowel movements are usually temporary.

Article in English: If most of the original bluing is still in place, you may be able to touch up the bluing yourself with a cold bluing kit. If most of the original bluing has worn away, you may want to consider removing the rest of the old bluing and hot bluing the gun metal. Vintage guns dating back to the 19th century were blued using either the rust bluing or fume bluing process. These processes are not used commercially today because of the amount of time involved. There are products commercially available that will let you perform the rust bluing process yourself, or you can find someone who will perform this process for you. Vintage guns that feature silver soldering or brazing cannot be hot-blued, because the caustic salts used in this process will eat the silver. Double-barreled shotguns commonly used this kind of soldering or brazing to keep the barrels aligned properly. Hot bluing costs significantly more than cold bluing does, so you need to consider the cost of the re-bluing process you plan to use against what you spent to acquire the gun in the first place and its resale value if you were to sell it. You should also consider the intrinsic value of the gun, or what it means to you, as well as its actual monetary value. If the gun is a family heirloom, you may want to consider spending more money on re-bluing the gun, even if its monetary value is the same that of a gun purchased at a sporting goods store. In addition to the monetary and intrinsic value of the gun that needs re-bluing, you should also take into account the costs of the bluing process you are considering using.  Cold bluing, described in Part Two of this article, is the simplest of the processes, and therefore the cheapest, but it is also the least durable. If you plan to handle the gun a lot after cold bluing it, you can expect the cold bluing to wear off fairly quickly. Hot bluing, described in Part Three of this article, is more durable than cold bluing and lasts longer than either cold bluing or rust bluing, but it requires more work and more...

Article in English: If necessary, iron the blanket to remove wrinkles. The roll must be tight enough to fit in the middle of the diaper tire hole. Pin the blanket roll in place. Match the ends so the blanket is hanging out half and half. The roll must remain in place, so pin each end of the blanket if necessary. Join the blanket from the first diaper tire to the second tire. Align the tires next to each other so they form the base of the motorcycle.  Tuck the end of the blanket into the hole of the second diaper tire. Pull gently so the blanket easily holds the two tires in place.     Add a pin on the ends of the blanket to ensure the blanket stays in place inside the tires.    Then roll the blanket the same way you rolled the first blanket. Slide the blanket completely through the hole until both blanket ends meet.

Article in English: If necessary, rearrange the equation so y{\displaystyle y} is alone on one side of the equal sign. If the equation uses f(x){\displaystyle f(x)} or g(x){\displaystyle g(x)} instead of y{\displaystyle y}, separate this term instead. Remember, you can cancel out terms by performing the same action to both sides.  If you do not know the equations, find them based on the information you have.  Example: Your two lines are y=x+3{\displaystyle y=x+3} and y−12=−2x{\displaystyle y-12=-2x}. To get y{\displaystyle y} alone in the second equation, add 12 to each side: y=12−2x{\displaystyle y=12-2x} We're looking for a point where the two lines have the same x{\displaystyle x} and y{\displaystyle y} values; this is where the lines cross. Both equations have just y{\displaystyle y} on the left side, so we know the right sides are equal to each other. Write a new equation that represents this.  Example: We know y=x+3{\displaystyle y=x+3} and y=12−2x{\displaystyle y=12-2x}, therefore x+3=12−2x{\displaystyle x+3=12-2x}. . The new equation only has one variable, x{\displaystyle x}. Solve this using algebra, by performing the same operation on both sides. Get the x{\displaystyle x} terms on one side of the equation, then put it in the form x=??{\displaystyle x=??}. (If this is impossible, skip down to the end of this section.)   Example: x+3=12−2x{\displaystyle x+3=12-2x}  Add 2x{\displaystyle 2x} to each side: 3x+3=12{\displaystyle 3x+3=12} Subtract 3 from each side: 3x=9{\displaystyle 3x=9} Divide each side by 3:  x=3{\displaystyle x=3}. Choose the equation for either line. Replace every x{\displaystyle x} in the equation with the answer you found. Do the arithmetic to solve for y{\displaystyle y}.   Example: x=3{\displaystyle x=3} and y=x+3{\displaystyle y=x+3}  y=3+3{\displaystyle y=3+3} y=6{\displaystyle y=6} It's a good idea to plug your x{\displaystyle x}-value into the other equation and see if you get the same result. If you get a different solution for y{\displaystyle y}, go back and check your work for mistakes.  ...

Close the door behind you so it’s completely dark. Make sure no one followed you in. You have to be alone when you call Bloody Mary.  Place a candle on the sink in front of the mirror and light it. Don't have a bathroom you can play in? Try summoning Bloody Mary in another dark room with a mirror. Keep your eyes open when you’re saying it. Make sure you speak slowly and clearly so Bloody Mary can hear you. Then wait for her to appear in the mirror. No one knows for sure, but some people say Bloody Mary looks like a scary old witch. Spinning might make her show up. After you spin around 3 times, stop and look in the mirror to see if she’s appeared. If she's still not there, try spinning in the other direction.

Article in English: If none of these methods are working for you, you may need to improve your sleep hygiene in order to reset your sleep cycle. This means you should make the activities surrounding sleep and your bedtime and wake-up time consistent and relaxing.  Try only doing bed-related activities in your bed. This means you should avoid working or watching TV in your bed. Make your room, bed, and bed clothes comfortable every night. Avoid exercise too close to bed and never drink caffeine or alcohol within a few hours of sleeping. If you are having a hard time adjusting back to your old bedtime because you aren't tired, try relaxing activities before bed. This can include listening to relaxing music, watching a calm movie, or doing some gentle stretches. The more relaxed you are, the more likely you will be able to go to sleep at your old bedtime. When you are trying to change your sleep schedule, it can be hard to make yourself sleepy earlier. To help, make your bedroom and the room you spend the few hours before bed in darker as your bedtime approaches. This will help increase the production of the sleep hormone melatonin, which is produced when you are in the dark. In addition, turn the thermostat down to around 67–68°F (19.4–20°C).  You can do this by using light blocking curtains if it stays light later in your area or if there are street lights outside your window. This is also helpful if you need to sleep past when it gets light outside. If you have a dimmer switch on your lights, try making the room progressively darker as you approach your bedtime. If you are really having a hard time, try wearing sunglasses so your eyes adjust to the darkness and to get you used to switching to sleeping mode. If your new sleep cycle requires you to get up before it is light outside, the transition may be harder to make. If you are having a hard time waking up, turn on as many lights as you can in your room and house. This will decrease the production of melatonin, which will help wake you up.

Article in English: If normal flossing hurts, a smooth and sometimes spongy dental tape might not. Dental tape is a special type of floss that's especially thin and wide — almost like a small ribbon. Dental tape is used in the same way as normal floss, but people who have painful teeth or gums often find it to be more comfortable. Proxy brushes are small, flexible, pointed brushes that have bristles that look similar to a pine tree. Their unique shape makes them perfect for cleaning behind braces — simply insert the brush under the wire and between the teeth, then scrub to clean. Proxy brushes aren't available everywhere, so talk to your dentist or orthodontist if you're interested in getting one.  You can also use a bit of toothpaste on the proxy brush for a better cleaning. Proxy brushes aren't intended to be used as a replacement for floss. They can't clean between the teeth as thoroughly as floss can. Instead, they're used along with floss to ensure that the area behind the braces receives enough cleaning. An orthodontic brush is a special type of toothbrush with V-shaped bristles. These special bristles help it clean behind braces and other orthodontic appliances, making them a big help when it comes to keeping your teeth clean. As with proxy brushes, orthodontic brushes are meant to be used with floss — not instead of it.

Article in English: If not cooked long enough, the biscuits or cookies can remain too soft. The baking tray or sheet is important when baking biscuits or cookies. Too slim a base, and they can burn; sides that are too high, and the biscuits or cookies can cook unevenly, leaving some of them too soft. If the biscuits or cookies came out fine but have gone soft since, some of the following might be the cause:  The biscuits or cookies were not allowed to cool on the tray/sheet. Resist moving them too quickly from the tray/sheet - a little of the cooking time continues the tray/sheet. Simply loosen them, leave on the tray/sheet to cool for a short time, then move to the wire cooling rack to cool completely. The biscuits or cookies were placed in their storage container before they had fully cooled down. Warmth brings moisture with it and if you transfer biscuits or cookies that are even only slightly warm to an airtight container, you effectively trap the moisture in, creating a perfect softening environment. Wait until the biscuits or cookies are cold before storing. The storage container is not airtight. Any air getting into a container will cause biscuits and cookies to soften. Replace with an airtight container.
