Article in English: A great way to get insight into the admissions process and life at Harvard Law is to contact current students. The Harvard Law admissions office will be happy to put you in touch with a student who will share their experience. You can call them at 617-495-3179, or email them at jdadmiss@law.harvard.edu. Harvard Law uses rolling admissions, so according to the dean, there is an advantage to applying early before too many of the places are filled. The application typically goes live in late September. For the best chance of getting in, you should be ready to submit your application then or shortly thereafter. You will apply at LSAC website. You’ll want to start early in order to acquire recommendations, complete the LSAT on time, and make sure your personal statement and resume are as good as you can make them. The application consists of 7 mandatory parts:  A fee of $85 The application form Your resumé A personal statement Your LSAT scores 2-3 recommendation letters. (At least one should be from an academic. If you have been out of school for a long time, you may submit non-academic recommendations, or consider taking extended education college courses to get to know a professor.) Character and Fitness Questions (to determine eligibility for the bar upon graduation) An interview (granted to approximately 1,200 applicants) Harvard Law strives to admit a diverse mix of students. A diversity statement gives you a chance to place your achievements in the context of your background and to make a case for how you would increase diversity on campus. Particularly if there are discrepancies in your application, such as a low GPA and high LSAT, consider including an addendum to explain them, preferably in a way that turns a weakness into a strength. For example, if you had low undergrad GPA, you might address it up front, and explain that between working your way through school and your commitment to an extracurricular (sports, student government, debate, etc.), it was difficult to maintain your grades, but you learned...

Article in English: A great way to improve reasoning skills is to keep trying new things. The mind is like any other muscle. It requires exercise and stimulation. Make a point of trying out new hobbies and activities on a regular basis.  Pick activities that are vastly different from one another. If you're already an outdoor enthusiast, instead of taking up hiking consider learning to crochet. If you're big into crafts and working with your hands, consider trying to do crossword puzzles or Sudoku in your spare time.  Take classes if possible. Taking a pottery class or poetry class at a local community center can be a fun way to challenge your brain and encourage you to try new things. Physical exercise actually has an effect on memory and thinking. Many studies indicate the parts of the brain responsible for thinking and reasoning are bigger in those who exercise regularly. Also, exercise reduces stress and anxiety and boosts mood, which can make it easier to concentrate and learn. Strive to incorporate regular physical activity into your day-to-day routine. This can lead to an improvement in critical thinking skills. While researchers are still unsure if one form of exercise is better than another, some research indicates aerobic exercise is most helpful to mental stimulation. Daily journaling can actually help improve critical thinking skills. In addition to helping you revisit your day, journaling encourages reflection and thought.  Writing is an active endeavor. It forces you to expand and explore your thoughts. Keeping a journal that details your day, your feelings, and anything you thought about throughout the day can make you a more introspective, aware person. This can lead to higher reasoning skills.  Make time to journal every day. Schedule regular journaling time into your day-to-day life as you would brushing your teeth, showering, and eating dinner. It may be helpful to schedule journal time after an activity you're accustom to doing every day, as this will make it easier to remember to keep up with your journal....

Article in English: A great way to incorporate garlic into your diet is to make a soup that has a lot of garlic in it. Depending on your personal preference, you can use either a vegetable or chicken-based broth. It is always better to make your own soup broth with fresh, natural ingredients. If you’re using a commercial stock base or a bouillon cube, be sure to opt for low-sodium broth. You should also double-check the nutrition label for the sodium content of the broth or bouillon cube. Ideally, this amount should be less than 140 mg per serving. You can make a natural chicken broth using lean chicken. This helps you control the amount of sodium that goes into your broth. Use chicken leg quarters because they have a higher ratio of meat to bone. Remove any visible skin or fat from the meat. Then, measure approximately two to three cups of water in a large cooker and add the chicken pieces. Using this small amount of water will give you a richer broth. To the chicken and water, add a chopped medium onion, a tomato, two to three celery stalks, two to three carrots, and any other vegetables for flavor. You can also add herbs such as parsley or thyme for seasoning. Do not add salt. If you’re using a slow cooker, cover and let it cook on low-medium heat for six to eight hours, or on high for four hours. If you are using a stove or burner, heat until it boils, then let it simmer on low heat for one hour. For a natural vegetable broth, use a variety of vegetables such as onions, parsnips, carrots, celery, leeks, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Lightly brown the vegetables in olive oil or canola oil, then add two to three cups of water. Bring the broth to a boil, then reduce heat to low-medium and let it simmer for 1 1/2 hours. You can add whatever vegetables you like. The flavor of the final product will depend on what vegetables you add to the mixture. If you’re using a bouillon cube or soup base, measure approximately two cups of water and pour it into a pan or bowl. Boil the water using either a stove or microwave. Add the soup base cube...

Article in English: A great way to reduce stress and turbulence is to develop reliable, repeatable systems for your everyday life that keep you centered and reduce stress. If your days get off to a frantic start, make a conscious effort to slow things down in the morning.  Get up a little earlier, make coffee, and include calming activities like yoga, meditation, or something else that you find relaxing. Make it a part of your day, every day.  Identify what you would like to accomplish each morning, then customize your ritual to give you the time to do those things without rushing or added stress. of how you react to things. If you frequently find yourself getting worked up during everyday interactions, make it a habit to analyze your own responses.  If someone cuts you off in traffic, pause a moment instead of laying on the horn and consider if your response will help the situation, or merely add to your stress. Study after study shows that multitasking is a less-efficient way of getting things done than focusing on a single activity, and constantly diverting your attention between multiple things is a surefire way to maintain anxiety rather than calm.  Simple changes like leaving your phone in another room, or turning off email notifications can remove common temptations for distraction.  Having a prioritized to-do list helps. Focus on completing your most important task before moving on to others. Keep in mind that recreation, exercise, or family time can be a “task” — this isn't only about work. Not only is it good for your health, it is also shown to reliably reduce stress levels.  If you can integrate exercise into your routine, do so. Even 20 minutes of moderate exertion can do wonders for you. You don't have find time for the gym to get the benefits of exercise. Get out of your desk chair and take a walk. Take the stairs rather than the elevator. Integrate soothing music or pleasant imagery into your post-exercise cool down. It will help maintain a sense of serenity as you get back to what you were doing. Creative...

Article in English: A great way to reduce the visibility of old scars is with makeup. Makeup will not only obscure a scar, but may completely cover it.  Match your skin tone to a concealer or base product. Clean your skin. Use rubbing alcohol or some other skin cleaning product. Apply the concealer or base product. You can also try to wear certain color clothing that might divert people's attention from your scar. This might be an easy and non-invasive approach to take.  Avoid wearing colors that bring out the color of your scar. This might vary based on your skin tone. Wear bright colors that match your other features. For instance, if you have blue or green eyes, wear colors that bring out the blue or green in your eyes. Another way to reduce the appearance of old scars is to grow your hair out. Depending on the location of your scar, growing longer hair or facial hair may obscure or reduce the visibility of an old scar.  If the scar is on an area of your face that can be covered with facial hair, grow a beard or mustache. Mutton chops might also be an option. If the scar is on your forehead or the side of your face, longer hair or bangs might obscure it.

Article in English: A guidebook will tell you where you can find lodging in any city you're likely to visit in Japan, and has everything conveniently sorted by cost, allowing you to quickly spot the budget options. A guidebook will also list popular restaurants, attractions, and other points of interest. Note that Japanese accommodations have two basic classifications––Western-style and traditional. It's a good idea to plan at least one night's stay in a traditional Japanese inn (ryokan), which will give you a good taste of the traditions of Japan, even though this might be pricier than your other budget stays. The room price in a ryokan usually includes breakfast and dinner. If you do stay in a traditional place, be sure to follow local customs or you may offend the Japanese. If you're traveling alone or with a small thrifty group you can often save money by staying in a capsule hotel or an internet cafe:  Capsule hotels were invented to give Japanese business men a place to sleep until the first train of the next day if they missed the last train home. However, they also offer tourists a cheap place to crash. You don't get a room so much as a tube with a mattress, but you cannot beat the price. To get in and out, you usually have to slide and there isn't room to sit or stand. You'll usually find these clustered around train stations or the areas with nightlife. Ask whether bathing facilities are included in the price, as sometimes they are. Not all capsule hotels will accept women, so bear this in mind. Internet cafes also can be an inexpensive place to sleep. If you come in late, you can often get a room from midnight to 8am for about $20. You may be sleeping on a couch, but if you really want to save money it might be worth it. The internet cafes often have showers as well. Love Hotels are places where Japanese couples get some privacy from their multi-generational homes for a few hours. However, after 11pm you can get the room for the night and usually for very little money. The room usually comes with a free condom as well...

Article in English: A guinea pig run is a more specialized structure for exercise, letting your animal roam about without the risk of it getting lost or escaping. It is basically a large mesh cage without a bottom, which you can place directly on the grass. Runs can be fairly large – 5 feet (1.5 m) on each side and one foot in height are fairly typical dimensions.  You can build yours as a separate structure, but it is also possible to incorporate it into an existing hutch. In fact, the structure will be a lot like the hutch in its design. In its most basic form the run is a wooden frame with wire mesh sides. When making your run, make sure it has sturdy sides and a top! Guinea pigs playing unsupervised (even for just a couple minutes) can become easy prey for neighborhood cats or birds of prey. As with the hutch, you will need wood, screws, wire mesh, wood staples, a drill, and a saw. However, runs are designed to be lightweight, at least those that are portable, so that the wood will ideally be lighter and rather less solid than that used in the hutch. Like hutches, guinea pig runs can be found online or at some pet stores for between $50 and $100. Instructions will walk you through the assembly process. As with the hutch, again, start by measuring and cutting the frame. The run is slightly more simple in that you really only need to construct a simple frame. There does not need to be a roof, floor, or even a door. Measure the wood per your blueprint specifications, double check the measurements, and make your cuts. Then, with the drill, drill your attachment holes and assemble the pieces. Cut the wire mesh once you have finished the frame. The mesh will need to cover each side of the run frame, at the least, and be secured with wood staples. You can also put mesh over the top of the run, though this is not strictly necessary. Guinea pigs like to jump (called “popcorning”), but there should be little danger of them escaping if you have made the run at least one foot high.

Article in English: A guinea pig without a cage mate will need a lot of stimulation due to the large amount of time spent alone. Make sure to provide your guinea pig with plenty of toys so he won't grow bored in his cage.  Ping pong balls provide a lot of entertainment as guinea pigs enjoy chewing and chasing. You can also find balls specifically made for guinea pigs at Petco or a local pet store. Be careful, however. If you notice your guinea pig chewing excessively, you might want to take the ball away.  Wooden structures, sometimes called hidey houses, are great if your guinea pig likes to hide or run. They can be made at home from cardboard boxes or purchased from local pet stores.  As guinea pigs love to chew, shredded paper, cardboard, old socks, pine cones, and twigs can be great. However, do not give a guinea pig materials like wool or cotton that tear thin. There's a risk that, when ingested, such materials will tangle inside a guinea pig's intestines. If you have a garden, or a backyard, planting and maintaining foliage can be a great activity for you and your guinea pig.  Guinea pigs enjoy being outside. If your garden is fenced in, you could take him out in the garden with you while you work. Keep a close eye on him, however, so he doesn't find a way through the gate.  Never put your guinea pig on a harness and leash as it would be very easy to hurt the guinea pig with them or they could slip out. Instead consider an enclosed run big enough for you and your guinea pig. Guinea pigs enjoy the opportunity to be outside. Gardening is a great way to spend time with your guinea pig while engaging in necessary tasks. Just be sure that your guinea pig can't ingest any poisonous plants. Your guinea pig might feel bored or stressed if confined to his cage all day without a cage mate. You can have one guinea pig friendly room in your house for him to run and play.  Guinea pig proof the room, making sure there are no open outlets or materials the guinea pig might chew on. Keep it closed off, as guinea pigs are notorious hiders...

Article in English: A gut that never makes noises can be a sign of an unhealthy digestive tract, but so too can an overly noisy intestine. One way to keep your internal ecosystem healthy is to eat probiotic foods that encourage the growth of healthy bacteria in your system.  Good choices for probiotic foods include sauerkraut, natural pickles, kombucha, yogurt, unpasteurized cheese, kefir, miso, and kimchi.  Having healthy bacteria in your intestines aids digestion, which can cut down on noises that may come from an unhealthy gut. Eating too much at a time puts strain on your digestive system that isn't good for your health and can increase the occurrence of unpleasant noises. Instead of eating big meals, try eating several smaller meals throughout the day. This will keep your stomach from going empty, while also giving your system adequate time to digest. Fiber helps keep the food you eat moving through the system in a regular, healthy way.  Fiber is good for your digestive system, and actually has healthy, cleaning effect. Beware, however — too much fiber can create gas and contribute to gut noises.  Women need 25 grams of fiber per day. Men need 38. Most Americans only eat 15. Whole grains and leafy greens (as well as many other vegetables) are great sources of fiber. Caffeine can upset your gut by increasing acidity and increase embarrassing noises. Alcohol and other chemicals (including those found in some medications) may further exacerbate the problem. In particular, avoid drinking coffee on an empty stomach. The combination of all that fluid and the potential irritation caused by the caffeine and acidity can lead to a chorus of gurgles and groans. Sometimes, an unhealthy (and noisy) gut can be a sign that you have a food intolerance, which may be irritating your stomach and intestines. An intolerance to dairy or gluten (wheat), in particular, is a common problem that can lead to gut noises.  Avoid foods containing dairy or gluten for a week or two and see if you notice any improvement. If so, you may have an intolerance....

Article in English: A guy likes to know that his partner feels grateful to be with him. He'll return the favor 100 times over. If you make him feel like he isn't good enough, he may feel insecure about your relationships other guys, or he may leave you. Guys don't like feeling inferior any more than girls do. Sure, he wants to take care of you, but you have to reciprocate. Learn the things that make him feel valued and loved. For instance, if he loves a home-cooked meal, and you enjoy cooking, then cook his favorite dishes to show him that you love him. Remember what it was like in the beginning, when you'd both do anything for each other. Keep that mindset, and treat him as someone who can't be lost. Just make sure that he's returning the favor and making you feel just as appreciated as you make him feel. Tell him you will never leave his side. Never give him the "thin-ice" feeling to get your way. Don't threaten to end the relationship to get your way about something really insignificant. On the other hand, know what's a deal breaker and what's not so that you don't carry on a relationship that's not meeting your needs. When he says that he won't leave you no matter what, and his behavior matches his words, then trust him. Don't ask him constantly whether or not he loves you because you'll drive him nuts--and you may drive him away. Guys tend to be territorial and jealous, particularly if their partners show any attention to other guys.  Respect his feelings and avoid getting too emotionally or physically connected to other men. The last thing that you want is a man who doesn't feel secure in your love. Mystery is always good. Don't wear clothes that are too revealing when you're out in public. No matter how much he likes your curves, he hates it when you show them to others because he doesn't want anyone else looking at his lady. Look your best, but don't dress like a hooker. Save the revelations for the times when you're alone. Expect a little jealousy if you often take trips by yourself. Guys have seen too many movies where...

Article in English: A guy who is a player isn’t going to be satisfied with just the attention of one girl, you. Instead, he will seek affirmation from many girls and in many corners, and he will sometimes do this when he is with you.  He likes being in the spotlight and gets pleasure from female attention. He wants to “capture” as many girls as he can, as if making another notch on his belt. He will flirt with lots of girls because he likes to have them chasing him or interested in him. He'll entice them to crush on him through things like steady eye contact. He will flirt with others by smiling, telling jokes, and initiating friendly conversation. If you confront him, he'll deny that he was flirting with other people. A guy who is a player is interested in physical contact with you right away. Since that’s often his central goal, he sees no reason to take it slow. He is eager to cut to the chase and get what he’s really after.  He won't bother to develop emotional intimacy because all he wants is physical intimacy. He'll go for it faster than a guy who's truly interested in developing a longer term relationship with you. He will touch you on the first date, perhaps by kissing you (or even trying to move farther if you will let him). He sees no reason to patiently wait. By the second date, his patience will be exhausted, and he may try to get physical with you. If he senses that you want to go slower, he'll move on to be someone else with whom with he has a better chance. A lot of girls make the mistake of focusing on a boy’s words instead of paying attention to his actions. A player will do things like act like it’s a chore to find time for you. His pretty words may be designed to flatter you by luring you into liking him. Focus on what he does, not what he says. For example:  He's a player if he texts you at the last minute, controls when he sees you, and vanishes for long periods of time. A genuine guy will give you more freedom. He's not a player if he asks you on actual dates and wants you to meet his friends and family. A...

Article in English: A guy who likes you online will often make time to talk and message with you. For instance, he might message you frequently even when you are offline. You may also find that you spend hours messaging back and forth throughout the day and even into the night. This is a sign that he likes talking to you and is making time in his schedule to communicate. If you send a message to him and he takes over an hour to respond and you know that he is online, this likely means that he is just being polite. Alternatively, if he messages back right away and then starts up a conversation he probably likes you. Similarly, a guy who likes you will often message you as soon as you log onto Facebook messenger or any other messaging app. Some guys will respond to your messages just because they are polite. If this is the case, they will likely respond with short, one word answers and will rarely try and engage in a meaningful conversation. Alternatively, if a boy likes you, he will try to get to know you, ask your advice or opinion, or share stories about his day. If he is interested he might say "how was your day?" or "what are you up to this weekend?" These types of questions reveal that he wants to be apart of your everyday life. Boys will often flirt when they like someone. Signs of online flirting include compliments, light hearted jokes, the use of exclamation points, emoticons, or bitmojis. He might say something like "you look so cute in your profile picture." Never pin all your hopes or fears on just one or two online conversations. Lots of people run their instant messengers in the background whether they have the time to chat or not. His short responses may just signal that he is busy or preoccupied. If this becomes a regular pattern, it may be a sign that he is not interested in you.

Summary in Russian:

Article in English: A guy who likes you, wants to connect with you. This will mean borrowing books from you, taking movie or music recommendations. He may even turn this into a chance to get in a little verbal flirting, by teasing you about your choices This shows that he values your opinion and wants to connect with you on a deeper level. It also probably means that you've got awesome taste! Gentle teasing can be a big part of flirting, so a guy who is teasing you is probably trying to flirt with you. This means teasing you about something you're doing, or making jokes about your terrible sense of direction, for example.  He might also make jokes around you more often than normal, because he's trying to get your attention by making you laugh. This could be anything from making bad puns to making gentle fun of himself (his bad sense of direction). Make sure that he isn’t saying mean or hurtful things. Teasing shouldn’t make you feel bad about yourself. He might be trying to flirt, but he's not doing it in a very kind way. Give this sort of guy a pass. A guy who's interested in you and wants to flirt is going to be paying attention to you. Complimenting can also be a part of flirting, especially if he couples if with teasing.  He might compliment your appearance, your smile, what you're wearing, and so on. He might also compliment you on things other than your appearance. Things like your writing ability, your story-telling abilities, your head for math, your skill with videogames, etc. These are the kinds of questions that keep you talking, as well as see if he can hang out with you more, or flirt with you more. Pay attention to whether he drops these into the conversation.  A couple examples of dangling questions are: “So you’re single because…” or “You’re doing what this weekend…” These questions indicate his interest in your relationship status or whether or not he can see you, but in a flirtatious manner.

Article in English: A guy who's interested in you and who wants to flirt with you is going to be around. End of story. He's not going to be busy all the time, he'll make time for you. Even if he's shows his interest by ignoring you, he'll make sure to be ignoring you in person.  Remember, it's hard to flirt if he’s not even there. If he's never around, he's not likely to be flirting with you. Even if he's not physically around, he'll make his presence felt by sending texts, calling you, and making sure to show up at the same things you’re going to. A guy who's interested in you and wants to spend time flirting with you might try to impress you. When he's doing or saying something "cool" he'll make sure to check in to see if you're paying attention to how awesome he is. See if he tries to outdo his friends when he’s around you. He outdoes them in terms of the cool things he's done, he wants to outdance them on the dance floor (and show you what a good dancer he is), he wants to try out that new bike trick. A guy who likes you is going to laugh at your hilarious comments (even if they aren't that funny, especially if they aren't that funny). Your flirty banter is going to make him laugh, if he's into you. Just remember, mean laughter is not a good sign. He can laugh at you when you're acting silly, but if his laughter hurts, run away from that guy. You don't want to flirt, or do anything else, with that guy. Again, a guy who is interested is a guy who is paying attention. If he's acting very kindly towards you, doing nice things for you, helping you out, there's a definite chance that he might be interested (especially depending on the types of things).  For example: if he brings you flowers, or a little something because he thought of you (even if it's something silly), that's a very good sign. He also might do something like bring you soup when you’re sick. It shows that he's thinking of you and it shows that he's willing to help you out, especially if it's out of his way. This is a big one. A guy who has a flirty personality...

Article in English: A gym’s main benefit is convenience: it has cardio machines, weight machines, and free weights (among other equipment) all in 1 place. If your main exercise goals are to improve your heart rate, lose weight, or bulk up on muscle, a gym is the best place to start.  Don’t worry about feeling intimidated by other gym members, either. Most people at gyms are supportive of one another, and mind their own business. Average gym membership costs can range from $20-45 USD per month. If that’s more than you can afford, try looking around for a discount gym in your area. Discount gyms may have fewer machines and weights, but can cost as little as $10 USD per month. Yoga is a great add-on exercise to a cardio routine, and it is very relaxing. Look into yoga if you’d like a calming, centering experience that also stretches and builds tone in your muscles. Many YouTube channels offer yoga guidance. You can also look into taking a yoga class at a nearby gym. Being around a group of other people who are doing the same exercise routine as you are can be fun. You’ll be motivated to keep up with everybody else in the group, and can make some friends among your classmates. Taking classes is also a great way to figure out which type of exercise you enjoy most and would like to pursue further. Most gyms and workout facilities offer classes at all different skill levels. If you’re just starting a new type of exercise—e.g., a spin class or yoga class—check out the beginner-level course. A trainer can familiarize you with the gym, show you how equipment works, and answer any exercise-related questions you may have. Even if you don’t plan to work with a personal trainer long-term, having 2 or 3 sessions with a trainer can be a great way to learn about different types of exercise and find one that you enjoy.  Depending on the gym you’re a member at, you may be entitled to a free session with a personal trainer just for signing up. Once the free sessions have expired, you’ll be looking at an average cost of $80-125 USD per session to...

Article in English: A halfpipe is basically a U shaped structure containing a deck, entry ramp, flat, lip, verticals and transitions. It is important to learn these terms so because they will be referred to when learning how to ride the halfpipe.  The deck is the horizontal platform at the top and edges of the halfpipe. The entry ramp is a sloped area from where you will start riding the halfpipe at the very top. The flat is the center flat area of the halfpipe. The lip is the top edge portion of the wall of the halfpipe. The verticals are the areas right below the lip. They are straight up and down on the sides of the halfpipe. The transitions are the area between the flat and the verticals where the flat begins to slope upwards. The best snowboard for use on the halfpipe will have a couple key characteristics that are different from snowboard for freestyle. Both the snowboard and snowboard boots for the halfpipe should be a bit stiffer than typical freestyle boards.  The tail should also be particularly stiff to create a bigger pop off the rim. Snowboard boots should be stiffer to provide extra power and protection in the halfpipe. Set up your bindings so they are a few centimeters back from where they usually are so that you have more nose than tail. This will help you get more power from your back foot when attempting jumps. Lean your bindings forward by angling your ankle cups forward slightly. This will keep your knees bent and help you to better hold and edge while in the halfpipe.   Wax your board so you land your tricks cleaner. There are some terms to learn with regards to snowboarding in the halfpipe. These include backside spin, frontside spin, frontside wall, backside wall, switch and grab.  A backside spin is when a snowboarder turns their back into a spin first. His shoulders will close so that his/her backside is the first side of his/her body going forward off the jump in the first 90 degrees of rotation. A frontside spin is when a snowboarder turns their chest into the spin first. In a frontside spin the...

Article in English: A handful of fresh berries in your batter will give your pancakes a delicious fruitiness. Virtually any berry will work well here: blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, and other berries all make good choices. You can also get away with adding berries that are slightly over-ripe — once the pancakes are cooked, they'll be unrecognizable. In a pinch, you can use frozen berries in most pancake recipes. As long as your pancakes are fairly thin, they'll thaw completely. Adding chocolate chips to your batter will give you a rich, cookie-like treat. Choose whichever type of chips you like: milk chocolate will give you the sweetest taste, while semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips will give a flavor that's a little more complex. These pancakes go well with ice cream or whipped cream as a dessert dish. If you're a fan of breakfast muffins, try these deliciously unique pancakes. Add lemon zest and juice to the batter along with a handful of poppy seeds for texture. You may need to compensate for the extra liquid by adding a small amount of extra flour. Try adding it 1/8 of a cup at a time until you achieve a good consistency.  To zest a lemon, use a fine grater or microplane to grate the outer layer of the peel into your mixing bowl. You won't need much — if the peel gets white, you're going too far.  Simple syrup with lemon juice makes a great syrupy condiment for this dish. If you're trying to get another serving of vegetables into your daily diet, try these treats by adding shredded carrots, onions, long beans, and garlic to your batter. These pancakes aren't sweet, but they taste great with a little butter or olive oil. Salty fish (like whitebait) also make great companions. If you like spice, try adding a little red pepper to the batter with the vegetables. Plain greek yogurt is a great side in this case — its rich smoothness counteracts the spice. If you suffer from Celiac disease, never fear — you can still enjoy your favorite pancake recipe. Just substitute gluten-free flour for all-purpose flour...

Article in English: A hay tedder is a tractor attachment or piece of machinery that aerates the hay. It spreads it out so light and heat can dry the hay out. A tedder and rake is often the same piece of equipment. Turning the hay with your tedder or rake will cause some quality loss, because the seeds and grass will fall through the hay onto the pasture. Only turn it according to what is necessary to cure it in your climate. If it rains, you may need to turn the hay an additional time to ensure it is dry before storing. It should be brittle and crisp, but not too easy to shatter in your hand. Baling the hay too early can result in spoilage, mold and even spontaneous combustion in your stacked bales.  For an easy test, twist several stalks of mown grass, place it in a dry box with several tsp. of alt. Shake the container for one minute and if the salt remains dry, it is ready to bale.  For a scientific approach, purchase an electronic moisture tester at your local farm supply store or from a catalog. It should be below 22 percent moisture, usually baled at 15 to 18 percent moisture content. Hay that is too dry will result in extra breakage and lower quality of hay in bales. Most balers need a wider windrow than the traditional mower can offer. You will get the densest bale with the highest quality hay by ensuring the windrow is sufficiently large for your baler.

Article in English: A healing chamber is necessary to protect the newly grafted plants while they are healing. For one or two plants, simply have a large plastic bag handy to place over each plant after the grafting occurs. For a larger number of plants, and a better chance of survival, build or purchase a large wooden or PVC frame, then draping it fully with polyethylene sheeting. Have a tarp or opaque shade cloth ready to block most sunlight from entering the chamber during the first stage of healing. Place a bench in the chamber to hold your plants.  Use a frame with a peaked roof so condensation runs down the sides and doesn't drip onto the plants. Place shallow pans of water around the floor of the chamber to increase the humidity. Before you graft any plants, you should monitor the environment in the healing chamber for at least several days to make sure it is stable. The temperature levels should be constant between 70 and 80ºF (21–27ºC) and the humidity should be 80–95%. Note that you should not store any plants in this chamber until they are grafted. Grafting is most successful on young tomato and eggplant plants, whose stems are still green (herbaceous) instead of woody. The stems should not have grown noticeably thicker, and each plant is usually ready when it has 2–4 true leaves. The most important note to remember is that the two plants should have stems with exactly the same size, so they can grow together without difficulty.   Note that the first one or two leaves the plant grows will be "seed leaves", not true leaves. These should be easily identified as they will be a different shape or size than the true leaves, but the exact appearance depends on species. If it's not possible to find stems of exactly the same size, you must use a rootstock (base) stem larger than the scion (top) stem. The other way around will not work. Use a sterilized razor blade or sharp knife to cut through the rootstock (base plant) and scion (top plant) stems. While the exact angle is not important, you should use the same angle for each...

Article in English: A healthcare professional will swab the wound and take a culture test. This is taken to a lab for further investigation. The laboratory will place the culture test into a solution and examine it for MRSA. If the sample contains Gram-positive cocci clusters, MRSA is likely the culprit.  The sample is also tested for Staphylococcus aureus.  This is performed with a latex agglutination test. The sample is placed in a tube that holds rabbit plasma and free coagulase. If staph is present, a clump will form and further testing will be done to determine whether or not the bacterium is resistant to antibiotics. If MRSA is present, the specimen will continue to grow at the same rate despite the medicine. This process only takes one or two days. Another MRSA test involves swabbing the nostrils. A sterile swab is used to collect a sample that is placed in incubation and observed for the presence of MRSA. The lab process is similar to what is conducted with the swab from a wound. Within 48 hours, there will be an answer to the test. The FDA has recently developed a new blood test for MRSA. Clinical tests were done and showed positive results. These tests managed to identify all positive specimens of the MRSA bacteria. They give faster results than with tests that involve swabbing. They are meant to be used on people who are likely to have a staph infection, but must be backed up with other tests.

Article in English: A healthy appearance is very attractive, so by looking fresh, you’ll look your best. Do your normal hygienic routine like brushing your teeth or taking a shower before taking your photo.  Exfoliate and moisturize your face and body to give you a nice smooth glow.   Take the extra step to floss. This removes plaque and will give you a brighter smile. Style your hair in a way that best frames your face or use quality make up to highlight your features.  Think about what you do to look great on a first date or to an important interview and do exactly that. If you love your look, you’ll be more comfortable in front of the camera. If you have the money and time, go to a stylist and have them give you a make over before you take your picture. Ask them to teach you how to do it home, so if you want to take more pictures you can do it yourself. Wear something that flatters your figure and makes you stand out in a crowd. Bold colors will put the focus on you, whether your background be a clear sky or a busy street. Use an accessory to make you dazzle, but does not draw attention away from your face. Make sure there are no unsightly stains or tears in inappropriate places.

Article in English: A healthy approach to any sort of conflict or hurt is identifying ways your own behavior could change in the future to prevent a similar occurrence. Think back to the situation and determine if there was anything you could have done differently to soften the outcome.  For example, if a man hurt you because he did not tell you he was in another relationship, you may have changed the outcome by asking for that information in advance and not assuming it (especially since open relationships are becoming more common). In the future, you might clarify with partners by saying, “Are you single?” or “Is there someone else?” . If you are around people, you are bound to be hurt by them. However, you can lessen the hurt by setting and enforcing healthy personal boundaries. Boundaries can be described as your hard limits, the things you are not okay with. Come up with a list of personal boundaries and be sure to share them with the people in your life. Refuse to feel bad or apologize for trying to get your needs met or for setting boundaries in your relationships. Some people may be offended or shocked that you call them out for hurting you and violating your boundaries. If this happens, don’t feel guilty and don’t let that stop you. You deserve to stand up for yourself and your emotional well-being. If the man refuses to acknowledge that he hurt you, or if he continues to cross your boundaries, it's probably in your best interests to get some distance. Clearly explain to the person that if he cannot treat you with respect, he is no longer allowed in your life.  This can be a really hard step to make, but you must in order to enforce your boundaries and sustain your own self-respect. Talk to a  counselor if you are having trouble letting go of someone who does not respect your boundaries.

Article in English: A healthy balanced diet is a major factor to good overall health, and kidney health is no exception. Avoid fatty and salty food, and eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. If you are unsure about what a balanced diet might look like, look at the food groups identified in the food pyramid and go from there. The original food pyramid has been criticised by public health experts, so you may want to look at the more recent healthy eating pyramid which combines healthy eating with weight control. It is very common for people to have diets which exceed the recommended amount of salt, or sodium. Diets which are high in sodium can have particularly bad effects on your kidneys, as a high sodium diet can lead to high blood pressure. Over time, having high blood pressure will damage your kidneys and could make you more vulnerable to serious kidney problems.  Talk to your doctor about the right level of sodium intake for you. Climate and personal health can impact how much salt your body needs, so always check with a doctor first. Choosing fresh rather than packaged foods will most likely mean that you are consuming less sodium. When buying pre-packaged food, keep an eye out for those labeled ‘no added salt’ or something similar. Get into the habit of reading food labels and finding out the sodium levels in foods. The most important thing is to have a balanced and healthy diet, but there are some foods out there which are particularly beneficial for your kidneys and kidney function. Foods with antioxidants, typically fruit and vegetables, can be a boost to your overall health and your kidneys. Some of the best ones to ensure you have regularly on your shopping list are cabbage and cauliflower, berries (especially cranberries), red bell peppers, and onions.  Although cranberries are very good for you, cranberry juice you buy in a carton might have an awful lot of sugar in. Asparagus is thought to be especially good for the kidneys. It can change the color and smell of your urine, though, so don't be alarmed if that happens.

Article in English: A healthy betta eats vigorously, swims around and is active, is colorful and vibrant, has fins and a tail that spread out like fans, and has scales and a body that look slick and clean. Sometimes, a betta acts sad because he is sick. If your betta is lethargic, check the tank's temperature and test the water. You may need to do a water change or turn up the heater. Signs of a sick betta are:   Does not eat at all or eats reluctantly Is inactive; stays in a corner of the tank, lays at the bottom, or is always at the surface Purposely runs into objects, as if in an effort to scratch itself Looks pale, grey, or generally dull in color Tail and/or fins are clumped, closed, stiff looking, or falling apart Body has open sores, white cottony patches, red spots or white spots, or lumps Eyes are excessively protruding or swollen looking Gills don’t close all the way and stay half-open; they may look swollen or red Scales are raised like a pine cone Belly looks either hollow or extended and swollen There are several common betta illnesses that can be treated if diagnosed correctly, but you should be sure about what your fish has before starting treatment. Some medicines work for several different types of fish illnesses, but you should be sure to get the correct one. Some common fish illnesses are:   Fungal infection: look for white cottony patches on body and head, closed up fins, pale color, less activity Tail and/or fin rot: look for fin and tail getting shorter, falling apart, having a darker color, less activity, and reluctant eating Ick: look for small white spots (like the body was sprinkled with salt), less activity and eating, and attempted scratching against rocks or plants Velvet: look for less activity, loss of appetite and color. Velvet (a parasite) can be hard to spot so use a flashlight and look for a fine gold or rusty mist on the fish’s body Dropsy: look for a big, extended belly and scales that are raised and look like pine cones.

Article in English: A healthy cat may urinate two to three times a day. Straining to urinate because of a bladder infection, bladder stones or a blockage are serious problems and very different than constipation. Check your cat’s litter box to see how much he is urinating every day. If your cat is spending a lot of time in the litter box, he may be constipated, but he may instead have diarrhea. Cats will spend a long time squatting in the litter box if they have diarrhea. They may produce only a small amount of feces, which could be misinterpreted as constipation.  A healthy cat will defecate about once a day. The cat’s stool should be firm and hold its shape.  Many times, it may appear that your cat is constipated, but there are other conditions that look similar at first. You will need to watch your cat closely to make sure there is not a different problem present. Your cat may have one or more of the following symptoms; if so, contact your vet to consult about possible constipation in your cat.  Straining when trying to defecate Small, hard, or dry stool Stool covered in mucous or blood Loss of appetite Weight loss Lethargy Vomiting Signs of abdominal discomfort If you are noticing your cat is spending a long time in the litter box or if you suspect constipation, take him in for an examination with your veterinarian right away. Your vet will be able to determine if your cat needs medication or a diet change, such as a switch to special high-fiber cat food. Do not leave a constipated cat too long before seeing the vet - it could be a sign of something far more serious than just a passing bout of constipation. The cat can develop many problems from retaining and staining to eliminate stool, including blocked colon and megacolon (an enlarged colon).

Article in English: A healthy diet is one that's full of vitamins, nutrients, and color (well, in addition to being balanced). And the easiest way to do this is through piling on the fruits and veggies. They're nutrient dense but not calorically dense -- meaning you can eat bunches and bunches without destroying your waistline and it's good for you. And, of course, the fresher the better!   Most all fruits and veggies are good for you, but some are better for you than others, arguably. If you really want to zero in on mother nature's power, you'll add kale, spinach, carrots, celery, cranberries, blueberries, and pineapple to next week's grocery cart. That's every color of the rainbow, too! As good as fruits and veggies are, you need some other stuff in there to mix it up and stay balanced. When you go for meat, dairy, or pasta, make sure you choose lean meats, low-fat dairy, and whole grain pasta. That generally translates to white meat (without skin), low-fat or non-fat milk, cheese, and yogurt and brown pasta, quinoa, and oats. When it comes to grains, the browner the better. White grains shouldn't really be in your diet. If it's white, it's been processed and all the nutrients have been taken out. Then it's just empty carbs. If it's in a package, odds are it's not super good for you. And if it's in a package that doesn't go old for years, that goes double. Turns out the FDA doesn't even regulate all the stuff that goes into them and your body doesn't regulate the additives, either! They're not even recognized as food-like things. Your body just stores them away, not knowing what to do with them. Gross. The FDA doesn't regulate all labels, either. Words and phrases like "all natural," "free-range," "additive free," and "pure" are just claims companies can make without retribution. So if you're buying something packaged that makes a claim that seems unfeasible...it's possible it is. If you're looking for a miracle on Earth, water is the closest you'll probably get. Stay hydrated and just about every part of you will stay...

Article in English: A healthy digestive system will result in "regular" bowel movements. However, "regular" is a relative term. Figure out your normal bowel movement frequency so you can be aware of changes that may be early warning signs of health problems. Generally, a healthy frequency for bowel movements ranges from once every three days up to three times daily. Diarrhea is defined as more than three trips to the toilet in one day. Constipation, conversely, occurs when bowel movements are spaced more than three days apart. Healthy feces should slowly drift to the bottom of the toilet. If your bowel movement readily floats, your diet is likely to just be very high in fiber. Pancreatitis causes impaired lipid absorption, leading to fatty floating stools. These bowel movements are extremely oily, releasing immiscible droplets into the toilet bowl. No poop is going to smell pleasant. In fact, a pungent smell can be indicative of healthy gut flora. However, certain health problems can cause feces that smell significantly stronger than usual. These include bloody stool, infectious diarrhea, and nutrient malabsorption syndromes.

Article in English: A healthy measurement for a man is less than 37 inches (94 cm) or less than 31.5 inches (80 cm) if you are a woman. A measurement that is higher than the number indicated for your sex may predispose you to serious medical problems, such as heart disease and stroke.  A higher waist measurement may also predispose you to type 2 diabetes and cancer. If your measurement is outside of the healthy range, then you may want to talk to your doctor. In some situations, a waist measurement is not a helpful indication of good health. For example, if you are pregnant or if you have a medical condition that causes your abdomen to appear distended (full or bloated), then waist measurement may be outside of the healthy parameters even if you are in good health. Likewise, some ethnic backgrounds predispose people to a larger waist size, such as people who are of Chinese, Japanese, South Asian, Aboriginal, or Torres Strait Islander descent. . If you are not sure whether or not you are in a healthy weight range after taking your waist measurement, then you may also consider checking your BMI (Body Mass Index). This measurement takes your weight and height into account to determine whether or not you may need to lose weight. If your BMI result indicates that you are overweight or obese, talk to your doctor about your options for achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.

Article in English: A healthy relationship requires healthy communication. If you're only really communicating when you argue, you're not building a strong foundation for your relationship.  Tell your spouse that you love them and care about them. You don't need any special occasion to do this - you can do it every day if you're comfortable doing so. Let your partner know when they've done something that makes you happy and thank them for it. For example, you might say, "I really appreciate the way you've been inviting me to more social events. It means a lot to me, so thank you." Show gratitude for the little acts of kindness your spouse does for you every day. Even small and simple things like sharing household chores or picking up after you when you're busy or not feeling well deserve acknowledgment. If your spouse said or did something that seriously upset you, offended you, or threatened the stability of your marriage, you should have a serious talk about the incident. However, if your spouse says something in passing that rubs you the wrong way, it's probably not worth starting an argument over.  Learn to give your spouse the benefit of the doubt. For example, if you've been married for several years and your spouse has never criticized you over something before, they probably didn't mean to do so now. Focus on the kind, caring things your partner says and does every day. It's probably safe to assume that those acts of kindness outweigh this one word or action that you didn't like. Never criticize your spouse. You can criticize actions or words if you can do so respectfully, but tearing down your partner is not a healthy way to communicate. One way to build a stronger foundation for your relationship is to bond over shared interests. This can help remind you that your partner cares about you, which may help you give them the benefit of the doubt when an argument does pop up.  Take an interest in your spouse's hobbies. You can also invite your spouse to join you at something you enjoy. Try taking up a new hobby together -...

Article in English: A healthy, balanced diet can improve your overall health, including the health of your skin. As a general rule, try to eat more fruits and vegetables to increase the number of antioxidants in your body.  Antioxidants fight the free radical in your body, leaving you with healthier, younger-looking skin. Salmon and other cold-water fish can also be beneficial since they contain high levels of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Proteins are among the building blocks of healthy skin and omega-3 keeps skin more thoroughly nourished. Look for wild-caught fish to avoid toxins thought to be present in some farm-raised fish. Consider including more soy in your diet, too. Some studies suggest that soy products can protect and heal skin damage caused by sunlight, including wrinkles. Likewise, cocoa contains the flavanols epicatechin and catechin, both of which improve circulation to skin cells and encourage better hydration. Try to stay clear of refined sugars and refined carbohydrates, as these can cause inflammation that may lead to wrinkles and skin sagging. Regular moderate exercise is an important part of an overall healthy lifestyle, and improving your overall health can increase circulation and skin elasticity throughout your body--including your forehead and the rest of your face.  Try taking a 30-minute walk at least once per day, five to seven days per week. Other types of moderate cardiovascular exercise can be equally as beneficial. Include headstands among your usual exercise routine, too. They increase blood flow to your face and scalp, which can improve the health of your skin there. Headstands also force the muscles of the face to relax, thereby lessening wrinkle-producing tension. Frequent, unprotected exposure to sunlight can worsen your wrinkles by causing your skin to become dry and damaged. Avoid the sun when possible. When you do need to step outside, apply sunscreen to your forehead and over the rest of your body. Consider wearing a hat, as well, to further protect the skin of your face. Adequate...

Article in English: A heart attack or other cardiac problem can cause chest tightness. Heart issues are serious, so contact emergency medical services immediately if you experience any warning signs. Do not try to drive yourself to the emergency room. Chew an aspirin and rest while you wait for help to arrive. Common signs of a heart event include:  Chest discomfort Pain in the left arm, jaw, and neck Shortness of breath Nausea or vomiting Dizziness or lightheadedness Cold sweats An ice pack will help to reduce pain and swelling caused by injuries less than 6 months old. At the same time, it may ease the chest tightness the pain and swelling can cause.  Apply the ice pack for 10 to 20 minutes at a time, 3 or more times a day. Place a towel between the ice pack and your skin. If the swelling goes down after a couple days but there is still pain/tightness, you can switch to a heating pad. Heat may be an effective way of relieving chest tightness due to old injuries. Place a thermal pad on the area of your chest that is impacted. If the pad is very warm, place a towel between it and your skin.  You can use heating pads for relief as often as you'd like. If it is comfortable to recline, you can also try taking a warm bath for a similar effect. A dose of aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol) or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) like ibuprofen can give immediate relief from chest tightness. Follow the dosing guidelines on the package and don't take more than the recommended amount.  OTC pain relievers are effective at treating chest tightness caused by muscle soreness or bone problems. If you are on any other medications, check with a doctor before taking an OTC pain reliever. They can advise you on which ones are safest and most effective. Ointments formulated to soothe sore muscles may ease chest tightness caused by this problem. Look for one with menthol.

Article in English: A hernia can affect different areas of your body in different ways, although a hernia in or around the stomach area may be the most common type of hernia. These hernias include:   Hiatal hernia affects the upper part of your stomach. The hiatus is an opening in the diaphragm that separates the chest area from the abdomen. There are two types of hiatal hernia: sliding or paraesophageal. Hiatal hernias occur in people of both sexes, and are typically more common in people over the age of 50 and those who are obese.   Epigastric hernia occurs when small layers of fat push through the belly wall between your breast bone and your navel. You can have more than one of these at a time. Although epigastric hernias often present no symptoms, it may need to be treated with surgery.  Incisional hernia happens when improper care after abdominal surgery results in bulging through the surgical scar. Often, mesh lining is incorrectly installed and the intestines slip out of the mesh, causing a hernia.  Umbilical hernia are especially common among infants. When the baby cries, a lump around the belly button area usually protrudes. Hernias can also affect the groin, pelvis, or thighs when the intestines break out of their lining, causing uncomfortable and sometimes painful lumps in these areas.   Inguinal hernia affects your groin area, and happens when a portion of the small intestine bulges through the abdominal lining. Surgery is sometimes necessary for inguinal hernias, as complications can cause life-threatening situations.  Femoral hernia affects the upper thigh, right below the groin. Although it may present no pain, it looks like a bulge in your upper thigh. Femoral hernias are more common in women than in men.  Anal hernia, or rectal prolapse, may cause the entire rectum to extend out of the anus, or may only push a part through. Anal hernias are rare and can affect anyone, but are more likely to be seen in older adults with a history of constipation or weak pelvic floors. They are often confused with hemorrhoids, but...

Article in English: A herniated disc (also known as a ruptured disc, slipped disc, pinched nerve, and other names) is a type of injury that happens when one of the fluid-filled discs between the vertebrae of the back breaks, spilling fluid into the surrounding area which can cause painful inflammation and nerve pain. Generally, herniated disc injuries fall into one of two categories, so, to start, pick which one of these you want to fake:   Pinched nerve: The actual disc itself (usually in the lower back) may or may not experience pain and inflammation. In addition to this, shooting pain called sciatica will occur in one or both of the legs or from the neck down the arm.  Local Disc Pain: In this injury, just the area around the disc itself experiences pain and inflammation. The rest of this section will focus mostly on faking a pinched nerve injury because it's a little harder to do. To fake local disc pain, you'll want to act like your lower back is painfully sore and stiff (like a bruise) and that bending, twisting, or carrying heavy weights causes you intense pain. One of the "textbook" symptoms of nerve pain from a herniated disc is the appearance of sudden, intense pains in one or more of the limbs after the injury. This is caused by the fluid from the broken disc pressing on the base of the nerve and creating the sensation of pain even though the limb is not actually injured. Most commonly, a herniated disc will cause these shooting pains in one or both legs, though they can also sometimes lead to pains between the neck and arm.   Leg pain is usually most intense in the buttocks or hamstring, though it can also occur in the calf or foot. Arm pain can be centered in the neck, shoulder, elbow, hand, or the arm itself. In either case, the pain can be so bad that it causes you to grunt or wince and stop what you're doing, even if you're used to it. The pain usually occurs when performing an activity that puts stress on the lower back, not the limb itself. These include: Standing up or sitting down. Leaning back Bending or...

Article in English: A hickey can be made anywhere on the body, but normally, hickeys tend to be located on either the neck or chest areas. If you decide to make your hickey on your neck, consider making the hickey on the sides of the neck. Avoid making a hickey in the center of your neck, near your throat, or the area underneath your chin. Get a large eye shadow palette that has an array of colors. The colors you need use will be a dark pink, dark purple, and dark blue.  Use a small makeup brush to apply the eye shadow. Keep in mind, if you have a darker skin tone, you might need to use the darker eye shadow colors more heavily in order to have the hickey mark show up. Gently tap your makeup brush once or twice into the pink eye shadow. Stand in front of a mirror to apply the makeup. Bring the brush up to the area you’re making the hickey, and rub the brush in small, ½ - 1 inch sized ovals on your skin. Be sure you don’t add too much color to the brush. You need to build up the color for the hickey slowly and gradually. Tap a corner of your makeup brush once in the purple eye shadow, and tap the shadow onto the middle area of the hickey. Lightly continue to use the whole brush to make small ovals to form the hickey. Use the brush to help blend the purple coloring out to the edges of the hickey. When in doubt, use less of the darker eye shadow colors. You can also add more, but it’s harder to take off the color once it’s added. Again, tap a small corner of your makeup brush into the blue eye shadow and dab it in the middle area of the hickey. Rub the brush in small ovals, blending the blue out to the edges of the hickey. Since the hickey should already be taking form when you add the blue, you don’t need that much blue makeup. Consider tapping the brush on the side of your finger or the edge of a surface to knock off any excess blue shadow. Spray a thin layer of hair spray or makeup setting spray to make the hickey last longer and avoid coming off on your clothes. This fake hickey will last until you wash it off.

Article in English: A hickey is a bruise left behind in the heat of passion. You'll create a hickey by gently breaking blood vessels through the suction of lips against sensitive skin. This is a mark of love, and a visible display that you've been intimate with someone. Be aware of the implications! You are leaving a noticeable mark on someone's neck, here, so you should be sure that she's into it before you go for the hickey. Of course, it might spoil the mood to ask, "Do you mind if I give you a hickey?" Consider that she might be embarrassed by this love-mark: she may not want her friends, family, or teachers to know that she is sexually or romantically active, and she may feel the need to hide the spot with makeup or a scarf. Some people proudly display their hickeys, while others are mortified.  A hickey is a playful mark of possession – a brand of passion. In general, a girlfriend or emotionally-involved partner will be more receptive to a hickey than someone you met that night. Consider whether a hickey is necessarily the "goal" of your encounter with this girl. It can be fun to give or receive a hickey, in the heat of the moment, but you shouldn't put all of your focus on bruising and "branding" her. Take your time, and make her feel amazing! Don't just suck on her neck without any buildup. The hickey is best delivered during a heated make-out or lovemaking session, in the height of passion, when it feels the most sensual. Wait until you've been kissing this girl for at least a few minutes. If you are having sex, the hickey is even more appropriate, and any pain from the mark will be wrapped up into the experience. Be aware that pain can be a serious mood-killer for some people. It's not for everyone! Whether you are making love or just making out, nibble her neck and give her light kisses. Most hickeys are given on the neck, as a result of the delicate pressure of the lips on the sensitive skin. There is no "right" or "wrong" part of the neck. However, she'll be able to hide it more easily if it's low, near her...

Article in English: A hickey, also known as a "love bite" or "kiss mark" is essentially a bruise caused by sucking or aggressively kissing another person's skin. It is initially red in color, due to broken blood vessels beneath the skin. It will later turn purple or dark brown as it heals. Hickeys are a mark of passion. They are often done in the heat of the moment. Contrary to popular belief, hickeys should be shared as a token of physical affirmation and pleasure as opposed to showing ownership over a partner. A hickey is a sexual mark, which makes it inappropriate for school, work, or visiting grandparents. Some people may wish to avoid the embarrassment of being caught with a hickey, so it is important to check in with whoever is receiving the hickey to see what they are comfortable with. In addition, receiving a hickey can be somewhat painful, which is a mood killer for some people. However, some people enjoy this aspect of the experience.

Article in English: A high quality, maximum support sports bra is probably the most basic way to hold in your bust and reduce it most comfortably. Buy these from reputable brands for the most effect. Low quality sports bras will wear out quickly and stop having an effect. You can also buy normal bras that can "reduce" the bust in that they do not do anything to make it look bigger. These are called minimizing bras. Again, high quality from a good brand is your friend here. These mainly only work with busts in the C-DD range, however. Simply wearing a minimally lined bra in the correct size can have roughly the same effect as a much more expensive minimizing bra. This will also be more comfortable than any other option and is just generally good advice. It is estimated that 80% of women wear the incorrect bra size, for example. If you're really desperate and other options aren't working, you can try chest binding. Never use Ace Bandages to bind, as they are meant to compress sprains and bones and will disfigure your ribs and lungs. Instead, consider buying a chest binder made for transgender individuals, which are safe.  No matter what you use, do not bind for more than 6-8 hours. This trick will not work for women with extremely large breasts. It works best for those who wear a US B-DD cup. Anything larger and it is unlikely to make much of a dent. Of course, you should never let something cosmetic affect what clothing you wear in terms of style. You have the right to dress like you. But some small adjustments can make a huge difference in how your chest looks.  Avoid clothing that is too tight, although you do want to choose clothes that fit (aren't baggy). You should also avoid wearing a cut that accentuates your chest, such as natural waist items, cowl neck tops, or tops with puckers and gathers at the bust. Instead of these items, accentuate your hips. This will make your breasts appear smaller by comparison.

Article in English: A higher protein diet helps support and promote weight loss. Studies have also shown that this type of diet or eating pattern may also help accelerate weight loss naturally. If you want to lose weight that is actually body fat (and not muscle), you need to maintain your muscle by eating adequate protein.  Lean protein at every meal helps you feel full longer since it takes longer to digest compared to carbohydrates or fats. This may cause you to consume fewer calories throughout the day. Good sources of lean protein include dairy products, seafood, eggs, legumes, lean beef and tofu. Protein also acts to increase thermogenesis (the amount of calories your body burns digesting foods). A higher protein diet may lead to more calories burned naturally. Fruits and vegetables, which are high in fiber and water content, make you feel full longer with minimal caloric intake. These foods are also rich in nutrients that are needed for a well-balanced, healthy diet.  Include a wide variety of fruits and vegetables each week. Having a varied diet helps you consume adequate nutrients from foods. Aim for two to three servings of fruit daily (about 1/2 cup or 1 small piece equals one serving) and four to six servings of vegetables daily (1 cup or 2 cups leafy greens equals one serving). Foods like bread, rice, and pasta are high in carbohydrates. While they can be part of a healthy and balanced diet, studies have shown that decreasing your total intake may help you lose weight faster.  One serving of grains is 1 ounce or 1/2 cup. Keep your total intake between one to two servings daily. If choosing to consume a grain-based food, aim to choose 100% whole grains which are higher in fiber and other nutrients.  Your body needs carbohydrates to function and operate normally. Plan to consume your carbohydrates from other foods such as fruit, low-fat dairy and starchy vegetables. These foods do contain carbs, but offer a variety of other nutrients like protein, vitamins and minerals. Focusing on these food groups will help support...

Article in English: A highly sensitive person (HSP) is easily excited and emotional. Some of the central characteristics of an HSP are:  Sensory detail: You have an appreciation for details that your five senses notice: fabrics that feel delicate, deep colors, rich sounds, and so on. Nuances in meaning: You understand hidden meanings and don’t rush into decision-making. Emotional awareness: You are attuned to your emotional health, and have the potential to take better care of yourself because of this awareness. Creativity: You are likely very creative yet introverted. Greater empathy: You are very sensitive to other people’s emotions. ” An empath is someone who is especially sensitive to other people’s emotions in general, and much more so than most people. All empaths are HSPs, but not all HSPs are empaths.  The following are signs that you might be an empath:  You sense fear, anxiety, and stress from other people. You draw these feelings into your body, resolving them as your own physical pain and symptoms. It doesn't have to be people you don't know or don't like. You're also impacted by friends, family, and colleagues. You quickly feel exhausted, drained, and unhappy in the presence of crowds. Noise, smells, and excessive talking can set off your nerves and anxiety. You need to be alone to recharge your energy. You're less likely to intellectualize what you're feeling. Your feelings are easily hurt. You're naturally giving, generous, spiritually inclined, and a good listener. You tend to ensure that you've got an escape plan, so that you can get away fast, such as bringing your own car to events, etc. The intimacy of close relationships can feel like suffocation or loss of your own self. Not everyone is affected by other people to the same extent, or even in necessarily similar ways. But everyone certainly has moments when their emotions are influenced by others around them. Try to learn in which type of situations this happens most for you. Keep track of how you feel when you’re around other people. Also, take note of the...

Article in English: A highly sensitive person is likely to notice their personality characteristics in social situations and interpersonal relationships. You might be an HSP if you experience the following:  You are highly influenced by other’s moods You are highly empathetic to people you know and those you don’t know You are hyperaware of how your emotions, behaviors, and words affect others You feel nervous when others are observing you complete a task or compete You notice subtle differences in your surroundings that others tend not to notice You feel over-stimulated in crowded social situations and feel the need to leave and spend time alone afterwards Persons who are highly sensitive are often more affected by their emotions than other people. Some emotional traits that characterize HSPs are:  A tendency to retreat into inner thoughts A deep connection to art or music The tendency to frighten or startle easily An inability to adapt to life changes Becoming easily overwhelmed by tasks or deadlines Though many of the traits of an HSP are emotional or social, there are also some physical traits involved. These may be tied to the fact that people with HSP tend to have a more sensitive nervous system, which affects both their emotions and their bodies. You may experience the following physical symptoms as an HSP:  Acute sensitivity to pain Feeling overwhelmed by loud sounds, bright lights, or strong smells Being greatly affected by medications, stimulants (coffee), or alcohol Reacting strongly to hunger (reduced concentration or poor mood) Highly sensitive people have characteristics that should be embraced as valuable.

Additionally, many people who are HSP are skilled at self-reflection and self-awareness, instinctively understand the needs and emotions of others, and easily sense...

Article in English: A homemade salt spray is easy to put together and you can use it to get the same kinds of waves that you have after a day at the beach. Put the following ingredients into a clean spray bottle:  1 cup of hot water 1-2 teaspoons of sea salt 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or argan oil (or you can use a half tablespoon of each) ½ teaspoon leave-in conditioner Use your normal routine for washing your hair. Use a towel to soak up extra moisture out of your hair. When your hair has fully dried, take out the braid. Give your hair a good shake.

Article in English: A homemade sling may be a good choice for minor arm injuries, but it's not enough to ensure proper healing in the case of serious fractures or dislocations. Allow a doctor to examine the injury, take x-rays, and discuss a treatment plan with you. A doctor's final treatment plan may involve the use of a sling – but your injury might also require a cast or surgery. If you use a homemade sling to set a broken bone or a dislocated limb, your arm might heal poorly. You may experience lasting discomfort, and you may need further medical attention.  Common symptoms of broken arms include: Intense pain Tenderness Swelling Loss of motion or decreased sensation Possible open wound with bone sticking out Difference in appearance relative to the uninjured arm   Common symptoms of dislocated arms (most commonly in the form of a dislocated shoulder) include: Pain in the arm, shoulder, and/or collarbone Deformation (a bump on or near the shoulder) Swelling Bruising When a broken bone sticks through the skin—or a wound forms in which bone is visible following a fracture—this is called an "open fracture" or "compound fracture." These fractures are exceptionally painful, dangerous, and difficult to treat. Be aware that the types of injuries that cause compound fractures can also cause other serious trauma. It is essential that you get yourself prompt, effective medical treatment. Do not try to realign compound fractures without the help of a qualified medical professional. The only exceptions to this rule are rare, special cases: when you will not be able to secure immediate medical treatment, and setting a compound fracture by hand is preferable to the alternative of doing nothing at all. You should only ever attempt to realign broken bones when signs of poor circulation appear. Again: if possible, wait for a doctor to reset your broken bones. The exception is when it appears that a fracture is preventing blood from circulating through the limb. Your limb may not be receiving any blood if the area of the limb past the...

Article in English: A horse must become familiar with the weight and sound of a saddle on its back. Just like with a halter and bit, spend a few days getting the horse used to the sound of the saddle, how it smells, and how it looks. After the horse is used to the sight of it, hold the saddle over the horse's back without touching. After the horse has gotten used to seeing the saddle, place the saddle pad/blanket on the horse's back. Leave it on for just a few moments. Then, if the horse responds well, take it off and reward your horse. Repeat several times. Do this on both sides so the horse gets used to you doing this from both sides. If the horse becomes very frightened, more than is controllable, quickly remove the saddle pad/blanket and return to a more familiar task like rubbing with the blanket or leading before you try again. Distract the horse by patting it and be sure to release the pressure quickly. Leave it on for a few minutes, then remove it. Do this from both sides of the horse. Make sure you remove the stirrups and leathers while saddle breaking a horse. Do this very slowly. Tighten the girth little by little each day, especially if the horse seems skittish. If the horse seems too scared, stop and keep getting it acclimated to the tack. When your horse allows the girth to be tightened all the way, lean gently on the horse's back. Next, longe with the saddle on and the stirrups down. This helps the horse get used to things by his sides and legs. Also, start placing the leathers back onto the saddle.  Do this slowly over the course of 1 to 2 weeks. Only introduce one new element at a time. Let the horse lose his fear of the item before introducing it to something new.  Walk the horse around with the stirrups on after it has gotten used to the way they feel. This will help to get the horse used to the feeling of the stirrups bumping against its sides and the feeling of the tack on its back. When the horse can wear the saddle for longer periods, start longeing around the arena with the saddle in place.

Article in English: A hot toddy is a popular cold remedy.  Pour 1 ounce (30 milliliters) of whiskey and 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey into a mug, then squeeze in the juice of 3 lemon wedges.  Add 8 ounces (240 milliliters) of boiling water and stir to mix.  Poke 8 to 10 cloves into a lemon wedge and plop it into the mug. Honey and lemon both have antibacterial properties and may help treat the respiratory tract infections caused by bacteria which usually occur after catching the common cold (viral infection). Secondary bacterial infections can occur after having the common cold. Peel a 1 inch (2.54 centimeter) piece of ginger root and chop it into small pieces. Add it to 8 ounces (240 milliliters) of water, along with the juice of half a lemon and 1 teaspoon of honey. Bring everything to a boil in a small saucepan, then pour the mixture through a strainer into a mug. Add 1 ounce (30 milliliters) of whiskey and stir. Drink the tonic while it is still hot. If you’re coughing or suffering from a sore, scratchy throat, try this recipe for relief.  Pour 2 ounces (60 milliliters) of bourbon and the juice of half a lemon (about 2 ounces/60 milliliters) into a mug. Put the mug into the microwave and heat for 45 seconds. Add 1 tablespoon of honey, stir, and heat for another 45 seconds. Drink your cough syrup while it is still hot.  For a watered down version, add 2 to 4 ounces (60 to 120 milliliters) of water. Do not drink more than one serving of this or you will agitate your throat and nose, potentially making your congestion worse. Mix the zest of six lemons with ¾ cup (12 tablespoons) of sugar.  Wait one to two hours, then mix again and add 8 ounces (250 milliliters) of boiling water.  Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves.  Strain the whole mix, then add 750 milliliters (about 3.2 cups) whisky.  Finally, add another 32 ounces (4 cups) of water.  Sprinkle some nutmeg over it and drop six thin lemon slices, each studded with four cloves, into the mix.  Drink hot.

Article in English: A hug shouldn’t come out of nowhere. Give him friendly, flirty physical cues to let him know that you care, and you want to be close to him. Where you put your arms is up to you, and depends on his height, your height, and each of your personal hugging preferences. You might want to try working in some casual caresses, if it feels appropriate.  If your arms are around his neck, run your fingers softly through the hair at the base of his neck. If your arms are around his torso, rub his back gently. A behind-the-back hug can also be a good way to hug a guy hello. This sort of hug says, “you are mine,” so it should be reserved for someone you’re already close to. Slip your hands under his arms from behind, and reach up to hold his shoulders tightly, pressing yourself against him. Rest your face against his back or shoulder and hold him firmly but gently (it’s a hug, not a wrestling hold). A big part of what separates friendly hugs from romantic hugs is the amount of time you spend in each other’s arms. Spend a moment enjoying the feeling of his body against yours. Take a deep breath, and let it out with a slight sigh. Make eye contact and smile again as you break apart. If you are feeling especially affectionate, you might wrap your fingers in his as you separate, and give him a flirty look as you swing your arm gently for a moment before dropping his hand. A common way to signify the end of a hug is to give someone’s back a quick rub or pat.

Article in English: A huge part of performing punk music happens with what you do around the singing, as much as the singing itself. Good punk singers are like performance artists and stage maniacs, flailing about and getting people whipped into a frenzy. Check out performances by these classic punk performers:  Lux Interior from The Cramps Iggy Pop from The Stooges Darby Crash The Germs Cole Alexander from Black Lips earn to handle the mic. Most of the classic punk vocalists are singers, not singers and guitar players. If you're going to be on stage with nothing but the mic, it's important to learn to handle it, both to get the best sound possible, and look cool doing it.  That spot between your nose and your top lip, where a mustache would be? Jam the microphone into that spot and keep it there while you sing. Don't worry about over-blowing it. Grab the mic as close to the head as possible, like rappers do. Try wrapping the cord around the hand you're holding the mic with, to keep it out of the way for head banging. Don't grab the mic cable and swing the microphone. Sound guys hate this, and it makes you look like a dork. If you want to buck the trend, keep the mic on the mic stand and wrestle with it, swinging it around and bending it to your height, then straight up, then back again. This is strangely compelling. Cheap mics work best for singing punk rock, and if you can dial up a little reverb or gain on the PA that you're singing through, all the better. Try thinking of your voice like another guitar or another instrument on stage: it's there to make sound more than it is there to communicate specific messages. That's what the lyric sheet is for. It's not dancing, it's flailing. Punk vocalists will often perform the songs just as much by moving around. For different vocalists, this might mean hopping around, pumping fists, head-banging, rolling around on the floor, or–as in Iggy Pop's case–smearing peanut butter on your chest. You might not need to go that crazy, but it always helps to get wild when you're performing punk....

Article in English: A huge part of the attractiveness of dipping is the oral stimulation that it provides. There are several different types of fake chew on the market that can simulate the experience without damaging your health.  Purchase an herbal-based chew such as Jake's Mint Chew or BACCOFF Non Tobacco Chew. Fake chews usually come in several different flavors, including a flavor that simulates the taste and feel of real chewing tobacco. Chew nicotine gum or regular gum. Some people will only need to simulate the feeling of constantly chewing on something to get their oral fixation. Purchase your favorite chewing gum or nicotine gum and pop a piece in your mouth when a craving arises. Use sunflower seeds. Sunflower seeds are often eaten during baseball games as an alternative to chewing tobacco. They give you something to chew on and spit out, simulating the feeling of dipping. Begin using these products the day you stop dipping. There are several different nicotine replacements on the market that allow your body to get a necessary amount of nicotine without ingesting the other harmful chemicals in tobacco. These can help ease withdrawal symptoms.  Nicotine gum, patches, and lozenges are available over the counter. Gum and lozenges may be the most effective for dippers because they most resemble the action of dipping. Nicotine nasal spray and nasal inhalers require a prescription from a doctor, and may be less effective for smokeless tobacco users. If you use more than three cans or pouches per week, you are considered a heavy user and require high doses of nicotine replacement therapy. Those who use two to three cans should try moderate doses, and those who use less than two should use low doses. Some drugs are available with a prescription from your doctor that can help with the symptoms of withdrawal. Some can be started a week or so before you begin to quit and can sometimes be used in conjunction with other types of nicotine replacement therapy.  Varenicline (Chantix®) manipulates the nicotine receptors in your brain...
