Article in English: If you cannot find any, try baby oil or olive oil. Some sources will recommend rubbing alcohol, but this is not a product you'd want close to such a sensitive area. If you must, use some facial toner for sensitive skin instead. You do not want to rip the merkin right off. Spirit gum is very strong, and you could damage your skin this way. You might also end up ripping the merkin itself if it is lace-backed. Be sure to have several q-tips handy. The spirit gum remover will get under the merkin and start dissolving the spirit gum. Keep doing this until you can peel the merkin away completely. Do not try to forcibly pull or rip the merkin from your skin. Allow the remover to dissolve the spirit gum. If you feel any resistance, get out a q-tip, soak it with some spirit gum remover, and run it around the area where you feel resistance. Wipe the area down first using some cotton balls soaked with spirit gum remover. Next, wash the area using some soap and water. Pat yourself dry. Some people recommend applying moisturizer or baby oil to the area to keep the skin soft. Dampen an soft-bristled brush (such as an old tooth brush_ with spirit gum remover. Gently scrub the back of the merkin where the spirit gum is. If the spirit gum is not coming off, try using some 90% rubbing alcohol instead. Keep doing this until the spirit gum residue is gone. Once it is gone, gently pat the merkin dry. Spirit gum remover can leave behind an oily residue. If this happens, simply wipe it off using a soft cloth soaked with rubbing alcohol.

Article in English: If you cannot find your cat and no one has responded to your search, check with local animal shelters.  Sometimes a person may find your cat, but not know where you or your cat lives, and may take it to the shelter.  Check with both private and city-run animal shelters. Visit in person with details and a picture of your pet to help the staff identify your cat should it be brought in. Check in with your shelter once every 2 or 3 days. In addition to your neighborhood search, you can utilize social media to help the search.  Try posting details about your lost cat on these platforms to inform a large group of friends and family at once, getting everyone in on the search.  Provide a good picture of your lost cat.  Make sure the photo is one that can help identify your pet. Include details about your cat including sex, age, weight, color, name or any other distinguishing marks. Let people know when and where your pet was last seen. By properly providing identification for your pet, you will make it easier for them to be returned home to you if they are lost.  The two main forms of pet ID are tags and microchips.  Tags are attached to your cat's collar.  These tags are usually metal and have your contact information engraved on them. Microchips have to be implanted by a veterinarian.  The chip contains your contact information digitally, as a back up in case the collar and tags should come off. Always keep the information on the tags or in the microchip up to date.  This will ensure that anyone who finds your cat will know exactly where to return your cat.

Article in English: If you cannot fully remove the smell of burnt popcorn, there are several ways you can cover the smell until it fades away. Pour one tablespoon of vanilla extract into a coffee cup, then put it in the oven. Leave it in the oven at 300 degrees for an hour. The smell of vanilla is strong and very pleasant, and will mask the smell of burnt popcorn by spreading the vanilla scent all around your kitchen. Sometimes the smell of popcorn can get stuck in the vents of the microwave. There is no easy way to clean these, but taping dryer sheets to the vents can absorb bad and unpleasant scents. Take the sheets off the vents when you are using the microwave, and then reattach after you're done. Cook other strong-smelling foods in the microwave. These can mask and cancel out the unpleasant smell of burnt popcorn. Any food like pizza that has high amounts of cheese is a good option for masking the smell. Other foods include bacon, soups, or sweet-smelling pastries like cinnamon rolls. Burning candles is a good way of neutralizing burnt popcorn smell. Buy candles in scents that you enjoy, and leave them burning whenever you are in the kitchen. Make sure to blow them out before leaving the house or going to sleep.

Article in English: If you cannot get the foreign substance out of your eye, it is very important to see your doctor promptly (normally this means going to the Emergency Room so that you can be seen right away). Especially if you have metal stuck in your eye, or any other sharp substance that may have punctured the surface of your eye, it is very important to see a doctor and not to try and remove any sharp objects on your own.  The doctors have special equipment where they can see your eye close-up and use special tools to remove any foreign objects. Be sure to never try and use "tools" yourself - such as tweezers, toothpicks, or other sharp objects to get something out of your eye - as you risk causing further damage to your eye. Your doctor will start by examining your eye using something called a "slit lamp." This looks like a very large microscope, and it will be used to look into your eyes and to magnify the view so that your doctor can see better and take note of any small objects or debris that may be lodged in your eye.  During the slit lamp examination, your doctor will use an eyedropper to put a dye on your eye. The dye will change color if and when it comes into contact with foreign material on the eye, so it is a very helpful tool for doctors to locate which areas of your eye need treatment.  After identifying the location of any foreign substances, your doctor will use a special sharp tool that is designed to remove objects from your eye. It may look intimidating, but physicians have been specifically trained how to use it in safe ways. Your doctor will also use anesthetic eyedrops prior to removing the object, so that the affected eye will not feel pain. After the doctor has removed the foreign body from your eye, your eye should heal and begin to feel better within a few days. If it does not - and if you develop any symptoms of increased pain, redness, or unusual discharge from your eye - do not hesitate to book a follow-up appointment with your physician.

Article in English: If you cannot put any weight on an injury, such as if you're recovering from knee or foot surgery, then you'll need one or two crutches (preferably two for improved balance). They'll sustain weight better than canes will, and allow you to get around with only one leg. Most crutches are forearm or underarm crutches. After you've been told by a doctor to use one or the other, the only thing you need to worry about is the fit. For underarm crutches, the top should be an inch or a little more below your armpit and the grips should be even with your hips. Place both crutches on the ground about a foot in front of you, and lean forward slightly. Move as if you're going to step with your injured side, then shift the weight to the crutches and swing forward between them. Come down on your uninjured leg while holding your injured leg elevated so that no pressure is placed on it. Put both crutches together in the hand on your good leg side, like a long and extra sturdy cane. Slowly lower yourself down or up, using the crutches for balance. Start by putting both crutches under one arm, parallel to the floor. Then, you can either hop up or down the stairs on your one good leg, using a banister for assistance. Alternatively, you can lay your crutches down on steps, sit down, and pull them along with you as you use your good leg to sit on the next step.

Article in English: If you cannot release the skin from the zipper at home or if you feel unqualified to do so, seek medical attention. If the patient is hysterical, ask the doctor to provide adequate sedation or pain medication to calm the patient enough that the injury can be treated. If the patient is calm enough, sedation may not be needed and local anesthesia may be enough (see below). In order to treat the injury, the doctor may need to cut off the pants, leaving only the zipper around the skin. This will allow a better view of the entrapment and minimizes further injury, such as the weight of the pants pulling on the skin. A local anesthetic (such as lidocaine) or a topical anesthetic (such as EMLA cream) may be applied to numb the skin locally and facilitate its release from the zipper.  Dorsal penile block can also be used but is typically saved for difficult entrapments only or those involving a large area of skin. Note: the benefits of a local anesthetic should be weighed against the injection itself and any additional pain resulting from that. This helps reduce friction and can ease the release of the skin. Let the oil soak for about 15 minutes. The skin may be removed in a few different ways depending on where the skin is entrapped.  When skin is caught between the teeth, the doctor may cut the zipper above or below the site where the entrapment is and gently pull the teeth apart to release the skin. If the entrapment is within the sliding part of the zipper, the skin is released by cutting the median bar (the small bridge between the anterior and posterior faceplates) to allow the faceplates to fall apart and the entrapped skin to be released. If the skin cannot be freed otherwise, the use of an elliptical skin incision or an emergency circumcision will be performed by an urologist under general anesthesia.

Article in English: If you cannot remove the pillow insert, make sure that the cover is washable. If it is not washable, you will need to spot clean the cover instead. Click here to learn how to clean a non-removable pillow cover. If you do not have one, pick one of the following ingredient sets below. Put everything into a plastic spray bottle, shake to mix, and then spray the mixture onto the stain before continuing.  2 parts 3% hydrogen peroxide and 1 part dishwashing soap.  2 parts water, 1 part hydrogen peroxide, and 1 part washing soda.  2 cups (475 milliliters) warm water, 2/3 cups(160 milliliters) dishwashing soap, 2/3 cups (160 milliliters) ammonia, and 6 tablespoons baking soda. Make sure that there is enough water to completely submerge the pillow. Also, try to use a detergent intended for hand washing; they tend to be gentler. When adding the detergent, follow instructions on the bottle in regards to amount. If you cannot find a mild "hand washing" detergent, use a regular washing machine detergent. Decrease the amount you are using, and put on a pair of rubber gloves. You can also try using dish soap or baby shampoo. Depending on how large your pillows are, you may be able to fit more than one in your tub. If your pillows are very dirty to begin with, you might want to wash them one at a time. Not only will this force the pillow underwater, but the repeated pressing motion will force the water into it. The soapy water will help flush out any dirt and dust. If your pillow is very dirty, you may need to replace the water. Just remember to add more detergent to any water changes. Drain the water first. Once the water is all gone, press down on the pillow to squeeze out any excess water. Don't worry if the water coming out of the pillow is dirty—just make sure that you get it all out. If necessary, press down on the pillow so that it fills with water and sinks. You want it to be completely submerged—and stayed submerged. If the pillow won't stay down, place a couple of heavy jars on top of it. Keep doing this until the...

Article in English: If you can’t be enough support for them, it might be time to recruit the help of a professional. Behavioral therapists can often help people quit smoking. One-on-one therapy is an option or group therapy can offer more support. A lot of people are uncomfortable going to group therapy sessions, especially the first time. Offer to attend with them to help ease their anxiety until they feel more comfortable going alone. Many communities have groups similar to Alcoholics Anonymous for quitting smoking. Nicotine patches and gum have shown to be helpful for many people quitting smoking. You might suggest that your loved one give them a try. Consult with your doctor so you can start on the right dosage. Be ready to provide them with any resources they might need. So, if they can’t afford a therapist, give them a list of free or low-cost options. You can also give them resources to the same websites you found your own facts and stats. Look for smoking cessation programs online or help online at websites like https://smokefree.gov/. Their doctor may be able to offer resources or advice specialized to their profession. It’s always a good idea to let your healthcare professional know about things like this in case they can help. Prescription medications like Chantix can help if someone is struggling with quitting.

If that doesn’t work, grip the cap firmly (but not too forcefully) between the jaws of a set of pliers, then twist the cap and the bottle in opposite directions.  You can also look in stores and online for bottle and jar opener gadgets. Some are textured silicone mats, while others wrap around the cap or lid like a belt. Try out different models until you find the type that works best for you. If you squeeze too hard with the pliers, you might crush the cap and the top of the bottle.

Article in English: If you can’t make the direct approach work, try getting her to leave you alone on her own. Ask about an attractive friend she has, or mention another girl you’ve met recently. It may seem rude, but if she gets mad at you, she may leave you alone.  Say, “Hey when we were at the bar the other day, who was the hot girl in the blue dress that was with you?” Essentially hitting on her friend might drive her away. Another way to do this is by saying, “I’ve actually been talking to this girl Lucy for about a week. It’s crazy how much we have in common.” Causing jealousy can be a useful rejection tool. If you just met or you’ve been talking a while and you know it’s not going anywhere, mention a friend she should meet. Talk him up, and say how he and the girl have so much in common. She may take the hint that you aren’t interested in her. Say, “You know, I’ve been meaning to introduce you to my friend Derek. He’s always talking about fitness stuff just like you. You two ought to go out sometime.” If you can’t face the girl to tell her how you feel, you always have the option of ignoring her. It’s considered rude and may cause you problems, but it’s an option. Don’t answer her calls, texts, or other forms of messaging. Completely break all digital communication with her.  She may keep contacting you for a while, but commit to ignoring her and she will most likely leave you alone. This is a rude approach, but it’s often highly effective. If you see the girl in common places and she won’t leave you alone, just stop talking to her. Even telling her you aren’t interested might keep her around because you’re willing to talk to her. The next time you see her, brush her off completely by being silent.  Make sure you realize how difficult this will be. She might get angry, insult you, or show you she’s disgusted with you. It’s not going to be pleasant most times. People will see this as rude and unacceptable. Make sure that this is your last resort. Try to let her down easy with other methods before giving her the silent treatment.

Article in English: If you can’t purchase it directly from the roaster within a week or so of it being roasted, opt for a vacuum-sealed bag from a reputable national coffee-bean roaster. If possible, choose a burr grinder in place of a normal blade grinder. For best results, grind the coffee fresh right before brewing each day.  Experiment with different ground size. Although finer grounds are generally preferred, they can result in a bitterer brew than coarse grounds. Many people recommend that you aim for grounds the size of coarse sugar. If you like the water taste of the water that comes out of your tap, it’s likely to make good coffee. Softened or distilled water should never be used, but carbon-filtered water can reduce the chemical taste of some tap water. Minerals in water are important for the brewing process.

Article in English: If you care about the person ignoring you and want to resolve the conflict, you’ll need to address the issue. Speaking in person is better than texting or talking on the phone since you’ll be able to see each other’s facial expressions and determine how genuine each other’s words and actions are.  You can call, text, or even send a note to arrange the meeting. Try saying something like, “I know that you’re very upset with me and I’d really like to talk about things. Can we meet for coffee at 10am on Saturday?” Try to choose a neutral meeting place so no one has the “home field” advantage. Now that you’ve gotten the person to agree to talk to you, get to the point. Even if you have a good idea of why they’ve been ignoring you, ask them to explain it from their perspective. You may be surprised at what the issue really is or why they think ignoring you is the right way to handle the problem. to what they have to say. Avoid being defensive or thinking of a rebuttal while they’re talking. This can be difficult, especially if they’re accusing you of something or think you’re in the wrong. However, do your best to listen to what they’re saying, read between the lines, and really try to see the situation from their side.  Use your body language to show them that you’re listening by making eye contact and nodding when you understand or agree. Don’t be afraid to ask questions if you need clarification. You can also repeat what they said to make sure you understand. if you’re in the wrong. If you did something to upset or hurt the other person, take responsibility for your actions. Put your ego aside so you can acknowledge your mistakes and apologize sincerely. Validating their feelings can go a long way toward restoring your relationship. Say something like, “I’m sorry that I didn’t invite you to girls’ night out, Jen. I can see that I hurt your feelings.” Once the other person has aired their grievances and feels heard, it’s your turn to explain how this conflict affected you.

Article in English: If you care at all about the girl and her feelings, then you shouldn’t go around telling your friends, her friends, and anyone you pass in the halls, that you don’t return her feelings. Even if you really don’t like her very much at all as person, you should give her the respect she deserves by telling her the news yourself instead of letting her hear it from someone else.  Put yourself in her shoes — if you really liked a girl, how would it feel to find out that she doesn’t feel the same way from someone else? If her friends ask you if you like her or not, make sure you tell her that you don’t return her feelings instead of having her hear it from one of her friends. Another thing you should try to avoid is telling the girl how you feel when she’s surrounded by people. Though you may think it’s easier to just go up to her at a party or when she’s talking to a bunch of her friends, this will actually catch her off guard and will make her much more upset than if she were alone and had time to process what happened. Though it may be hard to get her completely alone, do the best you can to keep your news private so you cause as little pain as you can. You don’t want her to get extra embarrassed in front of her friends and your friends. Respect her feelings and her privacy. Another mistake guys make when they tell a girl they don’t like her is to lead her on because they feel bad about saying the truth. If you don’t mean it, then don’t say something like, “I’m just not ready for a relationship right now, but maybe we can date in the future” or “You’re the perfect girl for me but I just can’t let myself fall in love” or “I just need some time to get over someone right now.” Though you may think that this softens the blow, it actually will prolong her pain, and you should avoid making any declarations you don’t mean just because you think it’ll make the conversation easier. Make it clear that you don’t have romantic feelings for her and that you won’t have them at a future date, either. The sooner she knows this,...

Article in English: If you cat is in a more approachable mood, you can try giving him a treat directly. Put three to five cat treats in your hand and kneel down close to the cat. If the cat is ready to forgive you, he will come over to you and eat the treats. At this time, you may try to pet your cat behind the ear (or any other favorite spot). If your cat does not approach you, leave the treats on the floor and step away. Do not take the treats away—this will only disappoint your cat.  Cat treats come in many different textures, including: soft and chewy, hard and crunchy, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, dried meats (sort of like jerky), and freeze-dried. You can even find dried tuna flakes in the cat treat aisle of a pet store. Cat treats also come in many different flavors, including chicken, turkey, tuna, and salmon. You can even find catnip-flavored treats. Consider getting a beneficial treat. There are also cat treats that help prevent hairballs and tarter. Not only will you be keeping your cat happy, but you will also be keeping him or her healthy. Be sure to leave it in a place you know where he will be able to find it. Here are some examples:  If your cat is hiding under the bed, consider leaving the cat treat just under the bed. Do not leave the treat too far out from under the bed. This will force the cat to craw out from her or her "safe" spot, and will make him or her feel anxious. Do not reach too far under the bed, or the cat may scratch you. If your cat is really agitated, leave a treat near his food, or in his favorite spot. In fact, if you offended your cat by taking his favorite spot on the couch, you can leave the cat treat in that spot. This will let the cat know that you are sorry and that he can sit in this spot without being kicked off. Take three to five cat treats and place them on top of your cat's food during feeding time. If your cat is picky and does not like treats mixed in with his food, then leave the treats in a dish next to the food. Does your cat have a favorite flavor of cat...

Article in English: If you catch a stain when it happens, you may be able to simply blot it out. This can help remove the stain before it becomes too much of a problem. While some ink will may stay in, blotting out the stain can help. Take a dry cloth and blot the stained area as best you can until it is dry. As you blot, move the cloth to a clean spot each time to avoid smearing the ink around. Before using any product on your clothes, you'll want to check the label inside your garment to make sure there aren't specific instructions for cleaning and to check the makeup of the fabric. Some fabric may contain polyester along with other types of fabric, so you'll want to make sure the different types of fabric can be treated in the same way as polyester if the makeup is mixed. You'll also want to make sure there aren't specific washing instructions. Some fabrics require hand washing while others require dry cleaning. Once you have blotted out the stain, choose a stain lifter. There are a variety of household products you can use to remove an ink stain from polyester.  Rubbing alcohol is a great stain lifter for polyester. Apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol directly on the ink spot. Then, gently blot with a clean cloth until the ink comes out.  Borax can also be used to remove ink from polyester. Add water to make a light paste and then apply it directly to the stain. Let it set for about 30 minutes.  Strong soap can also be used to remove ink stains. A laundry detergent or dish soap would work well. Pour it directly on the ink stain and rub the fabric together with your fingers. You may have to use a bit of force. After using the stain lifter of your choice, rinse the garment in cold water. If there is still a bit of ink left, rub the fabric together with your fingers while rinsing. This can help remove what's left of the stain.

Summary in Russian:

Article in English: If you change your mind, you can say no. If at ANY TIME you feel uncomfortable, you can say no. There is nothing wrong with that. Do what's right for you and don't let someone guilt you into something you don't want to do. Don't drive if you're drunk and don't let him drive if he's drunk. You don't want this hook up to be to an IV in an ambulance. You never know what could happen. For your own safety, make sure your bestie or someone else you trust knows where you are. Never leave your drink unattended and make sure you watch it being opened or poured. Even if your guy is super awesome, that doesn't mean the other guys at the bar are. Everybody wants their junk to stay healthy, right? Even if you're a girl, have a condom for him to use. And don't let him talk you into going without, even if you are on birth control. Make sure you know how to put it on him (in case he doesn't know how or does it wrong). Again, you never know, so just make sure you have a phone ready to go with numbers for things like taxi services. Or a friend if you want someone to talk to later.

Summary in Russian:

Скажите НЕТ. Не садитесь за руль, если вы выпили. Дайте знать кому-нибудь из друзей, что вы собираетесь делать, и где вас можно будет найти. Присматривайте за вашими коктейлями. Не забудьте презервативы. Имейте при себе телефон.


Article in English: If you chat about the situation with your friend and they explain that your crush likes them, sadly there may not be much you can do about it. Try not to take the situation personally, and understand that you cannot control how people feel. At this point, it’s best to look for other fish in the sea.  You may also find out your crush likes your friend after you ask them out. Rather than asking yourself what you did wrong or why your crush doesn’t like you, try to let the situation go. This may be easier said than done, but try your best and you’ll feel better over time. Since this situation is a bit emotional and awkward, try to communicate with both your best friend and your crush. Explain to them how you feel, and whether you’re sad, depressed, jealous, hurt, or angry. The situation is easier to deal with immediately than if you try to push it away.  While explaining how you feel may not change the situation, you’ll feel better after expressing your emotions. For instance, say to your friend, “I feel very hurt that you took them from behind my back.” You may feel upset or hurt for a bit, and that’s perfectly okay. Do what you can to boost your mood and take care of yourself. Read a book to get them off your mind, treat yourself to a spa day at home, or start a new hobby, for example. If you have to distance yourself from your crush and your friend, do what makes you feel better. You don’t have to hang out with them if you don’t want to. To keep your mind off your best friend and your crush, spend time with people that make you feel good. This can be other close friends, new acquaintances, or a new love interest.  Shutting yourself out when you are upset may only make you feel worse, so invest your time in social activities instead.

Summary in Russian:

Article in English: If you check a cake and it still has batter in the middle, it may just not have had time to rise yet. Put it back in the oven for 5-10 minutes, keeping an eye on it to make sure you don't overdo it. You may still get your cake to rise. Mix in store-bought or homemade frosting, adding just enough so the mixture comes together when squeezed. Roll the mixture into balls, and then toss in coconut, sprinkles, or cocoa powder.  You can also coat the cake balls with melted chocolate and let them cool. This trick also works for a cake that's too dry. Slice a 1-layer cake in half with a large bread knife to make 2 thin sheets. Lay plastic wrap in a large mixing bowl to use as a mold, and put one layer of the cake in the bottom of the bowl. Trim off any extra cake around the top until you have a mostly even circle. Add frosting or mousse to the middle of the cake bowl you've just made, then place the other layer of cake on top.  Trim off any excess cake sticking over the edge so it all fits in the bowl. Place the cake in the refrigerator to set before turning it out on a plate. You can pour melted chocolate over the dome or smooth frosting on the round part of the dome for decoration. If just the center is sunk in, frost the cake as normal, then use it as a bowl for holding candies. Fill it with unwrapped candy, such as coated chocolate pieces, gummy bears, fruit candies, or any other candy you like. You can also fill the sunken cake with mousse or lemon curd and put frosting over the top instead. This makes a quick and easy pudding or dessert dish. Scoop softened ice cream into the sunken center of the sunken cake and smooth it out. Freeze the cake for about 30 minutes, then take it out. Add frosting across the top of the ice cream and around the edges, just as you'd normally frost a cake, to finish the ice cream cake. For a simpler topping, cover the cake in whipped cream and decorate with maraschino cherries.

Summary in Russian:

Готовьте не успевший подняться и плохо пропеченный пирог немного дольше. Раскрошите пирог и смешайте его с глазурью, чтобы получить пирожные. Если пирог плохо поднялся, сложите его в два слоя. Наполните не до конца поднявшийся пирог конфетами. Переделайте пирог в торт из мороженого.


Article in English: If you choose a title that sounds like it belongs in one genre while the actual content of the story belongs in another, you’ll not only confuse potential readers, you may alienate them. For example, if your title sounds distinctly fantasy-esque, like “The Dragon of the Old Tower,” but the story is in fact about modern-day brokers on Wall Street, you’ll alienate those who pick up your story looking for fantasy and you’ll miss entirely those looking for a story about something modern or about the world of elite finance, etc. In the majority of cases, titles that are brief but impactful are more successful than those that are long and difficult to remember. For example, “A Man Discovers the Perils of a Solo Trek Through the Yukon” is likely less compelling to potential readers than “To Build a Fire,” which is shorter and more imaginative. Titles that use poetic language, vivid imagery, or a bit of mystery tend to be alluring to potential readers.  Poetic language in a title, like “A Rose for Emily” or Gone with the Wind, draws readers with an elegant turn of phrase that promises an equally poetic story or writing style. Titles that evoke vivid imagery appeal to readers because they conjure something tangible and meaningful. A title like Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, though long, creates an immediate and vivid image that conjures an idea of a battle between good and evil.  Imbuing your title with a bit of mystery can also draw readers in. A title like Something Wicked This Way Comes (also an allusion from Macbeth) or “The Black Cat” give just enough information to raise questions that will pull the reader into the story. Though alliteration--the repetition of successive sounds at the beginning of words--can make a title catchier or more memorable, it can also make it sound trite or hokey if not done well.  Subtle alliteration, like I Capture the Castle or The Count of Monte Cristo, can add appeal to a title. Obvious or forced alliteration, on the other hand--like "The Guileless Guide of Gullible Gus"...

Article in English: If you choose the powdered option, you have it easy! Making powdered lemonade is a quick and simple process.  Buy lemonade powder from the grocery store. Follow the instructions on the packaging to mix it with water. Mix it thoroughly until all the powder has dissolved. Taste the lemonade to see if it's too strong (add more water) or too weak (add more powder). When you're happy with your lemonade, you're ready to sell it! If you choose fresh lemonade, you have to do a little more work, but you’ll have a delicious, healthier product. Start by gathering all your ingredients. The following will make about a gallon of lemonade:  8 lemons 2 cups of sugar 1 cup of hot water 1 gallon of cold water When you roll your lemons before squeezing them, they tend to release more juice. Put each lemon down on a table, then press the heel of your palm into it. Roll it back and forth against the surface until you feel it starting to lose its firmness. When you're finished rolling, cut each lemon in half. If you add your ice directly to the pitcher of lemonade, the ice will melt over the course of the day. You'll end up with watered down lemonade. Instead, refrigerate your lemonade before selling it. Just have a bag or cooler of ice by your lemonade stand so customers can add fresh ice to their drinks when they buy them. Once you have your lemonade base, you can make little adjustments to give your customers an option of different lemonade flavors.  Make strawberry lemonade: chop 2 cups of strawberries and toss them with 1/2 cup of sugar. Let it sit at room temperature for about 45 minutes, then drain the "syrup" away from the berries. Add 1 tablespoon of syrup for each glass of lemonade.  You can repeat those steps with any berry to make raspberry, blueberry, or whatever kind of lemonade you want! Put sliced watermelon in a blender, and mix the resulting water into your lemonade for watermelon lemonade.  Be creative! Experiment with as many flavors as you can think of over the summer!

Article in English: If you choose to have a more formal home education environment, you can prepare by gathering your lesson plans, materials, and textbooks together -- or even by setting up a room in your house for studies and activities.  However you choose to home educate, it can only be helped by planning and preparing as much as you can before you start.   A different approach might mean your preparation involves setting up field trips for the rest of the year in every subject, placing learning objects around your home, or simply getting yourself into a mindset of using every day as a learning opportunity with no set plans or textbooks. Everyone benefits from seeing things firsthand. Some activities that can be educational as well as easy to do are: gardening, cooking, sewing, composting, science projects, hiking, fixing the house, caring for pets, and taking apart broken appliances (just make sure there are no lasers or dangerous electronic components still active). Your children will learn different things depending on their ages, but everyone will come away better educated.  Make sure your activities are fact-filled and concept-checked. Planting flowers can be a learning activity -- or it can be an activity where a child got to play in the dirt. If you do do activities around the house, accompany it with a reading or other supplementary tool. Thick, three-ringed binders with tab separators for each student are an excellent way to keep track of schoolwork, along with whatever may be required from a legal standpoint. Label each tab with whatever subjects you are studying. After your child has completed a page, punch holes (using a three-ring hole punch) and snap the page into the proper section of their book. Remember to date each page or it will be a big jigsaw puzzle to figure out later.  This is especially useful if your child is thinking of going to college, as some schools require portfolios of work from homeschool students. And you could always use the materials for reference later for your next child or for your...

Article in English: If you choose to sow seeds indoors, you should do so roughly one to two months before your expected transplant date.  Note that seed germination tends to be fairly uneven, so do not expect all of the seeds you sow to grow. Since seed germination is so unpredictable, many gardeners prefer to buy seedlings from a garden nursery or to use plants divided from previously established asters. Fill the compartments of a large plastic seedling tray or flat with a seed starting soil blend. You can use plastic cups, pots, or other small containers if you do not have a seedling tray. The containers should be 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10 cm) deep. Place one seed in each seedling compartment. Push the seed into the soil until it is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep. Lightly brush soil over the hole created by the seed after setting it into a compartment. Loosely cover the seedling tray with plastic wrap and place the entire thing in a refrigerator. Keep it there for four to six weeks. Chilling the seeds artificially mimics the chilling process seeds would undergo in nature. Using a refrigerator instead of using the cold ground outdoors ensures that the seeds will not freeze and die. Remove the seeds from the refrigerator roughly two to four weeks before the last expected frost. Place the tray in a sunny spot indoors.  This spot should receive at least six hours of sunlight each day. You will need to wait until the seedlings form before you can move anything outdoors. This will usually happen quickly.

Article in English: If you choose to use photographic paper, you can load it into your camera under specific lighting conditions.  For photographic paper, you have to load it either under a safelight, or a flashlight filtered through at least three layers of red cellophane attached to the lighted end. The flashlight must be six to eight feet away, so hanging it from a ceiling and working underneath it is a good way to accomplish this distance. Unlike photographic paper, film must be loaded under completely dark conditions. Practice loading your camera with a simple piece of paper in lighted conditions, and then with your eyes closed to get the feel of loading the film before you attempt to do so in complete darkness. You will have to cut the film down into smaller frames. The size of the frame will depend on the overall size of your camera's body.  For most moderately-sized cans, you can use a strip of film cut into 2 3/8 to 3 1/2-inch pieces. For a camera made from a one-gallon paint can, cut a 4 by 5-inch piece of film. A camera made from a 2-pound coffee can will take a 2 1/4 by 3 1/4-inch piece of film. These measurements apply to the use of photographic paper as well. Use sheet film if possible, which is easier to manipulate as it is completely flat. Make sure to cut down your paper or film in complete darkness. A closet should work fine as long as no cracks allow light to seep through. If you are unsure about the ratio between the size of your film and the size of the camera body, err on the side of cutting too large of a strip of light-sensitive material. You can always trim down the edges of your photo after you develop it.

Article in English: If you choose to wear makeup at school, you'll want to stick to a quick and natural look. Start with a freshly washed face and apply a light foundation or tinted moisturizer all over to even out your skin tone. Don't choose heavy cakey foundations, since they'll wrinkle and crease throughout the day. Instead, stick with light coverage and a light dusting of powder. Pick a light pink or peach color, whatever will show up best on your skin tone, and apply it to the apples of your cheeks. Simply fill in your brows to accentuate your natural brow line. Then apply eye shadow in a neutral or natural shade. If you choose to wear eye liner, pick a dark brown, navy, or rose gold shade, depending on what works with your skin tone. Stark black liner may look too harsh for school. Finish your eye makeup with a swipe of mascara. Avoid wearing dark or metallic eye shadows which are better suited for evening or weekend looks. If you want to keep it on the simpler more natural side, pick a peach or pink lip gloss that you'll be able to easily reapply throughout the day. You can also choose a richer lipstick, but don't choose something too dark. Save darker and metallic colors for parties or the weekend.

Article in English: If you chronically lack confidence, it's probably very easy for you to catalogue your faults and failures, but what about acknowledging your positives? For most people, this is a lot more challenging.  Researchers have found that self-esteem is comprised of both cognitive factors, such as positive memories you have of yourself and your behavior, and self-evaluation, or how positively you evaluate your current attitudes and behaviors. Make a list of everything you like about yourself - your qualities and skills that make you you.  It can help to actually sit down and write out a list as things come to you. Grab a notebook or journal and set a timer for 20-30 minutes. Journaling is a good way to continually maintain and open conversation with yourself about who you are and want to be. It's a way to prompt self-reflection and self-discovery and may help you realize things about yourself that you didn't really know.  Think also about some areas you'd like to improve, such as assertiveness or self-confidence. Contemplate not only what you feel, but why you feel the way you do. Begin to understand your true self, and allow it to exist. If you're not as good at handling some things as you are at others—for example, maybe you feel confident and capable until other people are thrown into a situation, such as in a relationship or at work—acknowledging all facets of yourself is the first step to transformation. Chances are that you are not giving yourself enough credit for everything that you've done throughout your life. Take some time to reflect and look back at your past glories from big to small—things that you've done that you feel proud of. This will help validate your place in the world and the value you bring to the people and society around you and, in this way, build your self-confidence. Research shows that part of building self-esteem is having a solid schema of positive memories about your past accomplishments and abilities. If you begin to accept that you have been a bright, hopeful, confident person in...

Article in English: If you coax your baby to sleep by rocking them, gradually stop the practice so that your baby learns to fall asleep without human contact.  When weaning your baby from this practice, rock them until your child starts relaxing but is not quite asleep. Your baby might protest after you stop, but if your baby feels relaxed enough, these protests should not last long before they drift off. Gradually decrease the amount of time you spend rocking your baby until, eventually, your baby is able to fall asleep simply by being held and not by being rocked. After your baby adjusts to falling asleep without being rocked, you can transition them to falling asleep without being held. If your baby sleeps in your bed, graduate them to a separate bassinet or small cradle placed directly next to your bed. Your baby might feel more comfortable with the concept of not being able to cling to you at night if they can at least see you. After your baby has adjusted to sleeping separately and has done so for several weeks, you can consider moving your baby out of the room completely. Instead of holding your baby during nap time, let your baby fall asleep wherever they can get comfortable.  Oftentimes, babies have an easier time napping in baby swings or car seats than a crib. This is mostly due to the fact that these spaces are more enclosed, thereby mimicking the feeling of being held in mom's or dad's arms. While these spaces should not be used for naps indefinitely, they can be helpful in transitioning your baby from napping in your arms to  sleeping alone. Once your baby adjusts to sleeping alone in a confined space, you can start placing them in the open space of a crib during nap time. Start your baby on napping in the crib before requiring your baby to sleep through the night there. Many babies have an easier time falling asleep alone during the day, when things are lighter and more active, than they do at night, once everything quiets down and they can no longer see or hear their parents. The transition into the crib may not...

Article in English: If you come across an emergency medical situation where people are injured, immediately call for an ambulance if nobody else has. Time is of the essence, so get help on the way first, then assess the injuries and deliver basic first aid while you're waiting for help to arrive. Precious lost minutes can make the difference between life and death, regardless of your level of first aid training.  Even if people are seemingly not seriously injured, you should still call 9-1-1 for help because you'll be unable to make an appropriate diagnosis due to either lack of training or necessary medical equipment. No one expects you to play doctor and fix any injuries. Focus on getting help to arrive and doing the basics — stopping any serious bleeding, offering support and trying to prevent shock (see below). Before you approach the injured person to administer first aid, you need to take a moment to look around and make sure there is no immediate danger. If you rush into a scene without checking for threats to your safety — like a downed electrical wire, falling debris, or a dangerous person — you may become injured yourself. Then all you have accomplished is giving emergency personnel two people to rescue instead of one. Once trained emergency medical help is called and on the way, assess whether an injured person is unconscious and/or not breathing. If the person is not breathing, giving her CPR is your top priority. Check the person's airway to see if it's blocked before giving CPR. Don't check for broken bones until the person is revived and breathing.  If you do not have CPR training, you should not worry about administering rescue breaths — focus on chest compressions instead. If you are trained and confident in your abilities, then proceed with CPR that includes rescue breathing.  Carefully position the person on her back and kneel next beside her, near her shoulders. Place the heel of your hand on the person's breastbone, between her nipples. Place your other hand on top of your first hand and use all your body...

Article in English: If you commonly experience headaches connected to certain symptoms, then you are probably suffering from a TMJ-related headache. For instance, you may hear popping or clicking sounds when you open or close your mouth. You may also have pain in your face. Your jaw may be stiff, and consequently, you may have trouble opening or closing your mouth. It can also affect how you bite down and your hearing. Because TMJ headaches are related to TMJ disorders, you may be able to treat the headaches by treating the original disorder. You can start by visiting either your family doctor or your dentist. Both should be trained to recognize the initial symptoms of TMJ. If your case is more extreme, you may need to see a specialist, but your doctor or dentist will make this recommendation. Your doctor or dentist will examine your jaw and what range it has. She will also lightly press to find out where you have pain points. In addition, you may need an MRI, X-rays, or a CT scan to pinpoint certain issues. If you clench and grind your teeth at night due to stress, fear, or lack of control, then physical therapy may help you learn to relax. Your doctor or dentist can recommend a physical therapist for you.

Article in English: If you conduct an extensive search immediately, there's a good chance you'll find the cat near to where it was last seen. The more time has passed increases the opportunity for the cat to roam further from home.  Stay calm. It is natural to feel upset, but getting into a panic won't help you or your cat. Taking action immediately can mitigate anxiety. If you recently moved, go back to your old place and search. If you moved really far from your original home, ask friends, family, and old neighbors who are still living there to search for you.  Check any spaces where a cat could hide. This means inside sheds, garages, beneath decking, in bushes, up trees or on the roof. Even in daylight, bring a flashlight so you can look in dark places, and catch the reflection of your cat's eyes. Don't assume your cat will respond to your voice as it normally does. A missing cat is usually a terrified cat, and may not want to leave its hiding spot even for you. Call for it in a soft, quiet voice, to avoid scaring the cat further. A cat that is trapped may possibly meow. Whether you're searching by yourself or with a group, take a few minutes in every area you search to listen quietly and attentively for a meow. Another cat in the area could have chased your cat away, especially if that cat or you have recently moved there. Ask other cat owners to keep their pets inside while you look for yours, and be prepared to increase the scope of your search as you cover the ground closest to home. If you have dogs, their enthusiasm may frighten your cat during the search. However, if your dog loves the cat and the feeling is mutual it may be useful to bring the dog on a search. If your cat has a favorite toy on a string or wand, like a stuffed mouse or feather, take it with you while you search and make it very visible, like you want the cat to play with you; this may allay fears and bring the cat out of hiding. Warn anyone searching that if they do spot the cat, remain quiet and do not chase! It's best for the owner to approach the...

Article in English: If you consistently respond with your true feelings, you will teach others how to treat you correctly. Over time people will learn and adapt to your behavior and will put you in less high-pressure situations.   Others may not even realize they are walking all over you if you don’t express yourself. Manipulative people will seek you out if they need something because they know you will not confront them. Once they learn you will not be used, they will stop. Your responses do not have to be dramatic. Simply respond in the same way you would like someone to respond to you if they deny helping you. If you agree to do what your user asks of you, lay out your limitations right away. This way you will not be burdened and your user will be satisfied. Both parties win.  This could be something like, if your peer needs help with their homework, give a time limit. If your co-worker asks you for help on a project, take the smallest task because you have your own work you need to do. Whenever someone asks you for something you are uncomfortable with, it’s totally acceptable to say that you'll need to think about it. This gives you time to consider if you actually want to help. If the person needs an immediate answer, say "No". You can always go back and say "Yes" if you realized you're okay with helping out. But if you immediately say "Yes" you are automatically committing to the situation. "No" can be a scary word because it is confrontational, but "No" can make you feel powerful. It shows others that you and your time is valuable. Using "No" doesn’t have to be aggressive, because it’s just honesty. You’re not being offensive, you’re just articulating that you have other things you need to take care of.

Article in English: If you constantly twirl your hair or brush a lock back with your fingers, you could be wiping off oils from your skin. Clip or tie your hair back so it doesn't fall in your eyes. Check out this article for ways to keep your hands away from your face. Try a bun, braids, or another hairstyle that keeps your hair tight and together. Keeping your strands together instead of falling loosely will reduce the visibility of greasy hair. If you have a big event coming up, you'll want to wash your hair the same day to make sure it looks as fresh as possible. Time your shampooing cycle so that you haven't washed your hair in a few days before the day of the event. Your hair should stay grease-free for the whole day. Long, greasy hair can be high-maintenance. On the other hand, most of the grease tends to accumulate near the roots, so a haircut may not improve matters. Follow your own preferences and experience with your hair when deciding on the right length.

Article in English: If you consume dietary fiber on a daily basis, your body will be able to push waste through your colon in an efficient manner, preventing it from building up in the small diverticulos sacs that develop. Fruits and vegetables are both very high in dietary fiber, along with beans, whole grains, and brown rice. These foods all have other natural benefits beyond preventing diverticulitis, making them helpful to add to your diet anyway. Don’t begin eating fiber until after you’ve recovered from an episode of diverticulitis. Because the infection that causes diverticulitis is a result of harmful bodily bacteria, some doctors have theorized that eating more healthy bacteria (probiotics) can cleanse your colon and prevent an infection. Probiotics are typically found as live cultures in certain types of yogurt and help to cleanse your stomach and intestines of harmful bacteria, making you feel better when consumed on a regular basis. Water and other fluids, when consumed on a regular basis, have a hugely positive effect on nearly every aspect of your body’s functioning. Aim to drink 8 glasses of water per day, as this will cleanse out harmful bacteria and help provide energy to your body . Healthy bowel habits can help prevent diverticulitis. Try to eat at the same times every day, and make sure you're drinking enough water. Also, avoid straining yourself during bowel movements or using enemas and laxatives, unless directed otherwise by your doctor.

Not using products obtained through damaging the environment is a way to help protect the reefs. Understand which fish are caught in a way that damages reefs, and spread the word.  In some countries, people actually blow up coral reefs with explosives so they can more easily catch the fish that cluster around them. Then, they sell the fish to restaurants and stores. Another devastating fishing method involves putting cyanide into the water to stun fish. This kills the coral reefs around them.  Overfishing is another way that damage is caused to coral reefs. There is economic pressure in some countries to fish in this manner because coral reefs can provide as much as one-quarter of the fish eaten in some developing countries.   Don't eat fish caught with bottom trawling methods. Bottom trawling is so damaging that it can destroy reefs that could live for thousands more years and exist deep in the ocean. An example of a fish sometimes caught through bottom trawling is orange roughy. Since 1998, the U.S. government has extensively mapped coral reefs to track their decline. The governmental efforts often link with private groups that accept donations and volunteers, as well as state and local efforts to protect reefs. Global efforts also exist to protect reefs.  In Australia, the government has created ways for people to get involved to help protect the Great Barrier Reef. The government has created a monitoring program that allows average people to contribute to reef protection by reporting their own observations and data.   Scientists study detailed maps that alert them to bleaching of coral reefs, which can be caused by rising sea temperatures and algal blooms.   The data is so sophisticated that scientists receive updates every hour, focusing on coral reefs in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. They monitor barometric pressure, tide levels, air and water temperature, and other factors important to coral...

Article in English: If you continue getting harassed, keep a record of every incident that occurs. At this point, the harasser's actions may be considered illegal, and if they continue you're going to need to get other people involved. Having evidence of the behavior can help your case.  Keep all email and text correspondence you have received, especially regarding any boundaries you’ve set. Note any dates of significance, such as a day you asked for contact to stop, for example, and keep any records to back it up. Write down an account of what has happened, noting the date and place of each incident. Keep the names of other people who have witnessed the harassing behavior in case you need to ask them to verify your account of what occurred. You don't have to deal with harassment alone. Talk to your teacher, school counselor, school administrator, human resources department or someone else you can trust. Most administrations have policies in place to deal with harassment. If the person in question is a student or an employee, involving the administration may put a stop to the behavior. If the harassment reaches a threatening level and you no longer feel safe, call the police right away. Explain what’s happening and present any evidence you have. Try to stick to the facts in your description.  Get the badge number of the police officer who answers your call. Doing so can help you create a better chain of evidence if you have to call again in the future. If you are reporting harassing text messages or cyber activity, it might be best to request an audience with a detective who can investigate such activity. Know that the police are unlikely to do anything at this early point, but creating a formal report helps create a history of your complaint. In some cases, people who harass others may have done it before. If the perpetrator has a pattern of harassing behavior, the police may be more likely to take action. . You can also get a restraining order to protect yourself and your family from the harasser. You'll need to file a...

Article in English: If you crack open the books while in a bad mood about having to study, you won’t have an effective study session. However, if you are motivated about what you are about to learn, you will have an easier time learning it and remembering it come test time.  Don’t tell yourself, “I’m never going to learn this.” Be patient with yourself as you try to master new material. Take the time to think about when you are most alert and able to concentrate. For some, this may be immediately after school. Others may be more productive if they take a break after school and relax a bit before opening the books. Regardless of when you choose to study, you will retain more information if you study a bit each day (for 30 to 60 minutes at a time) rather than cramming at the last minute.    Remember to incorporate breaks into your study schedule. Breaks give your brain a chance to absorb what you just studied. During your break, it is helpful to take a short walk or get some fresh air to help clear your mind. You need to find a quiet space free of distractions, such as a library or an isolated area of your house. By having an area devoted to studying, your brain will become used to calming down and absorbing material once you get there.  Keep a set of materials near your study space, such as books, paper, pens, highlighters, a calculator, and so on. If you need a computer for your research or studies, you can utilize an app to block specific websites for a certain period of time. That way, you won’t be tempted to check social media accounts or news feeds when you should be studying instead. Disorganized notes or a messy study room can be enemies to your memory. By creating order in your environment, you foster order in your mind, so you can better memorize facts and recall them later. When you sleep, your brain converts facts from short-term memory to long-term memory. Even a short nap can help with this process.  If you study in the afternoon and don’t have time for a nap then, review your notes or flashcards at night before...

Article in English: If you crack your tooth severely enough, you'll probably feel significant pain right after the injury. If you experience this, examine the tooth that hurts and see if there is a piece missing. If so, you've indeed cracked a tooth. Also keep in mind that you may still have a shard of tooth in your mouth. This can cut you if swallowed, so try to spit it out if it's still in your mouth. Save the shard if you have it. If your crack is less severe, you may not feel immediate pain. Instead, you'll probably experience a more dull pain that comes and goes. Often your tooth will hurt when you're chewing or when you eat very hot or cold foods. If you experience this kind of pain, it would be a good idea to investigate further. If you suspect that you may have cracked a tooth, a visible inspection should help confirm your suspicions. Look for a visible crack or missing section of your tooth. You might also be able to feel the cracked tooth if you can't see far enough into your mouth. Try carefully rubbing your tongue around your teeth. If you encounter a rough or pointy section, this would indicate a crack. If you have trouble finding the crack, you can also look at your gums. The gum line around a cracked tooth may swell and turn red. Look for this symptom to help locate your cracked tooth. Whether you know for sure you cracked your tooth, or are just having pain and can't locate it, visit your dentist as soon as possible. Cracked teeth are treatable, but it is important to visit the dentist as soon as possible to prevent further damage. In the meantime, there are a number of steps you can take to protect your mouth and alleviate your pain.

Article in English: If you currently exercise in the afternoon or evening, consider changing your exercise routine to the morning hours.  Some studies have shown that morning workouts boost your body's ability to burn calories from stored fat instead of using calories you've consume through food during the day.  Schedule workouts for 20 to 30 minutes after you wake up. In addition, getting up in the morning will help ensure you don't get too busy or tired during the day and then skip a workout later on. Changing up your routine can be difficult at first. But after a couple days of getting up earlier (and going to bed a little earlier), you'll be just fine with your new AM routine. HIIT workouts are popular these days and for good reason. Studies have shown they help burn more fat and keep your metabolism elevated longer than traditional exercise.  Typical HIIT workouts alternate between bursts of very high intensity exercise (like sprinting) and bouts of more moderate intensity exercise (like jogging). Include one to two days of HIIT workouts each week. Perform 45 minutes of cardio with a 10 minute warm up and 10 minute cool down. The 25 minutes in between should be devoted to sprinting for 30 seconds to one minute and returning to moderate intensity for two to four minutes. HIIT boosts the production of the human growth hormone by 450 percent for 24 hours. It helps you lose fat rather than muscle, so it is ideal for weight loss. High-intensity is 80 to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate. You cannot keep up a conversation and you get extremely “winded.” Moderate-intensity is 65 to 80 percent of maximum heart rate. You can keep up a conversation with a friend, but are short of breath. Alternate between these two. On alternating days where you are not doing a HIIT workout, include some strength training. Keep in mind that it takes a while to build muscle. However, regular weight training along with a healthy diet can help you to build muscle mass over the course of four to 12 weeks, which will boost your metabolism.   Strength...

Article in English: If you currently have friends on a particular server, then joining them could make the game much more fun. Alternatively, if you have a friend who plays the game but would be open to creating a character on a new server, ask them which of your last server options they would like best. If you’re still undecided, you can opt to pick a server with an appealing name. For instance, some players may prefer being on “Thrall” over “Khaz’gorath” because of the simplicity of it. If you are familiar with World of Warcraft lore, you may choose the name of a character or place you are fond of.

Article in English: If you currently have some cooking and baking knowledge, then you're off to a good start already. If not, start small by making simple meals and following easy recipes. You can gradually build up your kitchen skills as you get more comfortable, but trying too much all at once is a good way to fail and get discouraged. Look for books specifically aimed at beginners or search for easy recipes online. Instructions that provide step-by-step pictures are often the easiest to follow along. Look for free and cheap cooking classes in your area. Focus on developing skills that you're specifically interested in developing, and skip any class that will teach you something you already know or will teach you something you have no desire to learn.  Local craft stores often offer classes on baking and food decorating. Small markets may have classes on cooking essentials. Check out cooking schools in your area. Even if you don't want to spend time and money on a cooking program, some of these schools offer one-time cooking courses at a discounted price. Not every domestic goddess needs to love cooking, but learning to enjoy it can motivate you into improving your skills. Try to find something about cooking or baking that you can feel passionate—or at least interested—about. Build up your cooking skills in general, but involve your point of interest as much as possible while doing so.  Your passion might be something simple, like baking cookies or mastering stovetop cooking. On the other hand, you might find your attention grabbed by something a little more unique, like gluten-free baking or canning. You might have a full set of cooking and baking skills when all is said and done, but that doesn't mean you will be able to show them all off each and every day. Know when to make a simple meal and when to whip up something more impressive. Learning how to use your cooking to improve and please those you're cooking for is another skill you will need to master.  For example, if you're cooking for picky kids, focus on choosing...

Article in English: If you currently have syphilis, it is essential that you protect others from the disease, even if you are already on antibiotics. The disease may still be transmitted during treatment, even when physical symptoms are not present. If you are infected, it is your responsibility to avoid all sexual contact (oral, anal, and vaginal sex) during treatment to prevent transmission of the disease. If you have sores on your mouth, then you should not even kiss anyone because the disease may pass through the sores. This includes former partners who may have been exposed to your infection prior to treatment. It is essential all partners are informed so that they can seek testing and treatment if necessary, or decide to decline sexual interaction with you until you are completely free of the illness. Failure to do so may increase risk of transmission. This barrier method may help prevent transmission of syphilis during treatment. Make sure that you use condoms during all acts of vaginal, oral, and anal sex. Keep in mind that condom use is only effective if all of the affected areas are covered to prevent contact with the mucus membranes or broken skin of a sexual partner. Make sure that you use dental dams or latex barriers when performing oral sex on a female partner.

Article in English: If you cut out 500 calories a day and exercise regularly, you will lose about a pound every week.  This will also help you reduce your back fat.  Use a food diary or online food tracker to help you cut out 500 calories daily. These food trackers in addition to online calculators can give you an estimated total daily caloric intake to help you lose weight.  Everyone's needs will be different, so using a calculator can help give you a more specific calorie range. Do not cut out too many calories.  This can slow weight loss, lead to nutrient deficiencies or make you feel tired and fatigued.  In general, health professionals recommend to eat a minimum of 1,200 calories daily.  Cutting calories will help you lose weight, but without the cardio and back strengthening exercises, your back muscles will not get toned.  It’s important to include both diet and exercise to get your desired result. Even if you’re cutting calories to help reduce back fat, it’s still important to eat a balanced diet.  Including a variety of foods from each food group will help you consume an adequate amount of nutrients each day.  When you have a poor quality, unbalanced diet, this may work against your weight loss goals. Include protein at each meal.  Protein is an essential nutrient in your diet.  Foods like poultry, eggs, dairy, legumes, seafood or tofu provide adequate protein to your diet.  Aim for a 3-4 oz (21-28g) portion at all meals. Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables each day.  These foods are low calorie and nutrient dense making them great foods for a low-calorie diet.  Try making ½ your plate a fruit or vegetable to help support your weight loss. Lastly, it’s important to include healthy sources of grains like bread, rice or pasta.  Grains provide fiber and a variety of B vitamins important to your health.  If you can, choose 100% whole grains for more nutrients. When you're trying to lose weight and cut calories, managing hunger can be an issue.  It's hard to stick to a diet plan, if you're feeling hungry often.  Combining...

Article in English: If you decide that you want to dispose of your kerosene, you'll need to find a household hazardous waste collection site sponsored by your local waste district. Look in the yellow pages or online to find the one nearest to you. First, ask them if they accept kerosene. If they do, ask if you'll need to drop your kerosene off or if they'll come pick it up from you house.  If necessary, make an appointment for them to pick up your kerosene or for you to drop it off. Ask them if there is a disposal fee. There is sometimes a disposal fee for toxic waste, so it's good to know beforehand. Taking advantage of community waste collection days is a great way to manage hazardous household waste without harming the environment. Collection days are typically sponsored by a local government agency. Go online to look up your community waste collection day to find out the date, drop off location, and the materials that the program will accept. Most service stations (gas stations) accept used or unwanted motor oil, but some may also accept kerosene. If you find a station that does accept kerosene, make sure you deliver it in a properly marked container so that it does not get confused for any other type of gasoline or oil. It's best to call service stations in advance to see if they accept kerosene. They will be able to point you in the right direction to safely dispose of your kerosene. Some fire stations may even accept your unwanted kerosene.

Article in English: If you decide that you want to try to induce a fever the first thing you should do is speak to a medical professional. Make an appointment to see your doctor and ask her about how to induce a fever. Your doctor will advise on the potential benefits and dangers of artificially inducing a fever and what your options are. Sometimes drugs induce a fever when they are taken, but this generally is considered an adverse response akin to an allergic reaction.  Immunizations, such as diphtheria and tetanus, may induce a fever.  The drugs work by increasing metabolism or evoking an immune response. Drug-induced fevers can cause other symptoms as well. Doctors who do use this option might use Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG), a tuberculosis vaccine.  If your doctor advises you not to try to induce a fever you should listen to her. Do not attempt to induce a fever against your doctor's advice. Look for a medical centre or centre of alternative medicine that actively uses fever therapy. These sources will usually be equipped with an infrared sauna unit, also known as a hyperthermia unit. Follow the instructions provided at the centre when using this unit to induce a fever. Usually, you will be instructed to warm yourself internally before using the unit. You might be asked to drink ginger root tea or to take ginger root and cayenne pepper capsules.  Before entering the unit, you will undress and cover the skin in an herbal formula, often containing ginger. Wrap yourself in towels then enter the unit. A standard session lasts for 60 minutes, but if you are not demonstrating any negative reaction, your session may last for two to three hours. You will need to drink water during the process, especially if undergoing a longer session. If you do not sweat within the first 10 minutes or otherwise experience a negative reaction, the session will end early. After a successful session, you'll undergo a warm to cool shower to close your pores. As the debates about the potential benefits of fevers continues, some doctors are advising...

Article in English: If you decide to air dry your blanket after washing it, be sure that you've first removed as much moisture from the blanket as you can. This will save you a lot of drying time. Remember to press the blanket, don't wring or bunch. Using a clothesline or ironing board, straighten and suspend the blanket to let it begin drying. Hang drying works best when it's done outside due to the movement of the air, but if you don't have a place to dry clothes outside you can also turn on a fan or simply let the blanket hang overnight.  Smooth out all wrinkles and folds before hanging the blanket, or else the blanket will crease and dry unevenly. Make sure the blanket is completely stretched out when hang drying. Greater surface area means faster, more thorough drying. Wool, silks, linens and any blankets with loose weave-work, like crochet, should always be hung and allowed to air dry. This is the gentlest way to treat easily damaged fabrics and will help protect them for many more washings and drying. Alternately, sandwich the wet blanket between two clean, dry towels and roll or fold them up together. The towels will wick moisture out of the blanket from both sides, helping it dry faster. Place a heavy object like a book on top of the roll to apply pressure to the damp blanket and increase contact between the blanket and towels.  One advantage of the towel method is that there should be no need to smooth the blanket once it's dry since it's already been rolled taut or neatly folded. Using an object heavier than a textbook to press water out of a blanket that is drying between towels may misshape the blanket or cause wrinkles once it's fully dry. If you're pressed for space or don't want to use the towel method, find a clear, flat space to lay the blanket out. Place a couple dry towels underneath the blanket to absorb excess moisture as it dries, and flip the blanket over as needed to allow exposure to air on both sides. This will take considerably longer than any other drying method, but requires minimal effort. You may...
