Article in English: Wait until you get a pretty clear indication that he or she is ready for a little passionate smooching. If your kissing partner seems ambivalent to your advances or a little shy, now is not the time to try something as fierce as a lip bite. After all, even the gentlest of nibbles is still a bite. Exact cues will vary by person, but in general, look for signs that suggest openness and a desire for intimacy. If your partner is snuggling against you, staring deeply into your eyes, or seductively licking his or her lips, you probably have the green light. Once you get the green light, escalate the heat level between you and your kissing partner by reducing the amount of physical distance between the two of you. This technique will only work if you can create a steamy ambiance first, and you will not be able to do that if the two of you are standing apart at arm's length.  You do not need to be completely intertwined for this to work, but you should at least be touching in more places than only your lips. Also keep in mind that you can narrow the space between you even more as the kiss intensifies. Your initial lip lock can be sweet or steamy, depending on how intense the mood between you already is. As a general rule of thumb, though, it is better to start off a little milder in your kisses before building up to a bite. The kisses between you and your kissing partner need to build to a highly sensual level. The keyword here is “build,” though. The most effective kiss will intensify to a passionate, steamy state gradually, rather than being rushed to that point. If you really want to drag things out, you can begin with a closed mouth kiss before moving onto an open mouth kiss. You can also do a little French kissing, or you can gently suck on your partner's lower lip as the first hint that a bite might follow.

Summary in Russian:

Проверьте, какое настроение у вашего партнера. Заполните расстояние между вами. Наклоните голову для поцелуя. Усиливайте поцелуй.


Article in English: Waiting for a car to stop can take a while, so you might want to do something that will keep you happy, such as singing, listening to music, or playing on a guitar. Avoid sitting or reading a book, as this will make you look bored or unapproachable; it will also take your attention off the road and potential rides. You should also avoid smoking, drinking, doing drugs, etc. Not all drivers are open to these sorts of things, and you'll reduce your chances of getting picked up if you smoke, drink, or do drugs.  If someone shouts something rude to you, or make a rude gesture, don't fight back. Simply smile, and let it go. If you start to feel irritable, take a 15 to 20-minute break in a cafe or take a nap. Drivers won't pick up someone who looks irritable. Doing something fun while you wait, such as playing an instrument, juggling, or dancing will help make you look more visible and thus interesting. You'll be more likely to pick up a ride.  Don't cross your arms or keep them in your pockets. You'll look bored and unapproachable. Instead, smile, wave, and say "hello." This goes for both your clothes and body. If you look dirty and unkempt, people may think that you are either homeless or an escaped prisoner rather than a traveler. People usually do not give rides to homeless people or escaped prisoners.  Make sure your hair is brushed and that you are clean-shaven. Make sure that your clothes are clean, and not torn or rumpled. People tend to warm up to those who dress like they do. Consider wearing jeans and a flannel shirt if you are in a working-class area, and khakis and a collared shirt if you are in a "white-collar" area. In general, you'd want to avoid wearing clothing that is dirty, torn, faded, or ill-fitting. People might mistake you for a homeless person or an escaped prisoner, and will be less likely to give you a ride. You'll also want to avoid wearing sunglasses because they will prevent eye contact and imply that you are hiding something.  Avoid wearing black, as it will make you look more...

Article in English: Wake up early on the day of Holi, and get your materials ready. Keep water handy throughout the day. Make sure the tap is close to your play area. Attach a hose to the tap if you can't go back and forth with colored feet.  You will mix colored powder in the bucket of water and fill the balloons and pichkaris. Fill as many balloons as you’d like with water and tie them. Get them ready beforehand. At the end, you can empty the entire bucket on your friends for a big finish. Smear the colored powder onto your friends and family to make them colorful and commence the festival of colors. The colors are non-toxic and won’t stain for long, so have fun smearing them on your family members' arms, legs, back, and hair. Others like to celebrate low key day Holi with little to no water. You can do that too and celebrate with some beautiful colors and food. Elders and friends shout, "Bura na mano, holi hain" to allow people the liberty to apply color on them. It means, "Don't mind; it’s Holi". Or "Don't feel bad; it is Holi". A pichkari is a water gun to squirt colored water from as a fun way to celebrate Holi. Mix some of the colored powder with water and then add it to the pichkari. Use the pichkari to cover people with colored water and enjoy playing in the bright colors.  Pichkaris make great gifts for kids in preparation for the Holi celebration. They come in many forms and patterns. Pick the basic cylindrical ones to go old school or try the fancy ones if you like. Be ready for some naughty kids to throw water balloons on you from their terrace or home. A dholak is a hand drum that is played at celebrations such as Holi. Enjoy the celebration by dancing in the colors to the beat of the dholak. Sing Holi songs and let your body move to the beat while you celebrate the coming of spring. A great way to celebrate Holi is with delicious traditional Indian meals.

Article in English: Wake up your significant other and tell them you have a surprise for them. Then take them to their favorite brunch spot and treat them to some good food, and maybe a mimosa or two (if they're old enough). Choose a park with some beautiful foliage or gardens in it. Stop and sit on a bench along the way and tell your significant other how happy you are to be spending their birthday with them. Rent ice skates at a local ice skating rink if you don't already have some. If your significant other doesn't know how to ice skate, help them onto the rink and let them hold onto you for support. You'll both be feeling the romance while you're holding hands and skating around the rink. Take lots of photos together with the animals and buy your significant other a small birthday present at the zoo gift shop. If there's no zoo near you, go to an aquarium instead. Go swimming or rent paddle boards together. Hold hands and walk up and down the beach, collecting seashells along the way. You can keep them as a nice birthday memento for your significant other. Research local wineries in your area and schedule a tasting for two. Keep in mind that there will likely be tasting fees, so include that in your budget for the day. Be the designated driver and let your significant other enjoy most of the wine. If you live close to a city you don't know that well, rent bikes there and ride around to do some sightseeing. You can also ride bikes through the park. Stop somewhere along the way and treat them to an ice cream for their birthday. If there's a nearby landmark or attraction that they're constantly talking about seeing, surprise them and drive there for the day. If it's a short drive, you could leave it as a surprise until you get there. For example, if your significant other has always wanted to visit a particular city that's not too far away, drive there and spend the day exploring. Surprise your significant other by taking them zip lining or whitewater rafting. If they're really daring, take them skydiving or bungy jumping.

Отправляйтесь навстречу приключениям.


Article in English: Waking up and falling back asleep can trigger the start of a whole new wave of sleep hormones. Don't rely on your selfish morning persona not to hit the snooze button. Move your alarm clock so you have to get out of bed to turn it off, the first time you hear it. Our brain expects us to get up in the early morning, bathed in bright, bluish light. If this is roughly the time you wake up, keep the curtains open so your body doesn't think it's night. Otherwise, consider purchasing a dawn-simulating alarm clock. This will gradually increase the light levels in the room before your alarm goes off, which helps you wake up alert and happy. "Full spectrum" fluorescent lights are a cheaper option, but do not mimic morning light all that well. It might still be worth replacing incandescent or regular fluorescent light bulbs in your bedroom, especially if you can set it to turn on about thirty minutes before you wake up. Drink a glass of water to rehydrate yourself after a dry night. . Not only will brushing your teeth keep them clean, the minty flavor in your mouth will wake you up. To make the most of this, brush your teeth for at least 2  minutes, floss, then rinse with mouthwash. You should start feeling a little bit more awake by now.  Chewing gum may keep you alert for similar reasons, plus the physical activity of keeping your jaws moving.  Mouthwash that contains alcohol may dry out your mouth, and potentially increases risk of cancer. Stick to alcohol-free mouthwash instead. . Washing the sleep out of your eyes and all the sweat off of your face will help refresh you and wake you up. If you tend to feel alert after a shower, make that part of your morning routine. . Exercising will get your blood flowing and loosen stiff muscles. There's no need to run a mile; one study found that low-intensity exercise actually made people more alert than a moderate workout, at least if they weren't used to a fitness routine already. Spend twenty minutes on a gentle walk or yoga, or fit in five minutes if you're pressed for...

Article in English: Waking up at the same time and falling asleep at the same time every day will help your body’s sleep-wake rhythm to prepare you to fall asleep at the right time and wake up at the right time. Maintain this schedule during the entire week. Even though you can sleep later on the weekends, don’t give in to the temptation to stay up late or sleep late.  Most adults need seven to nine hours of sleep per night. If you are still tired, this may be because you happen to need more. Some adults may need up to ten hours per night. Children and teenagers frequently need even more. Try not to nap. While it may feel good at the time, if it means you can’t fall asleep at night, then it may be more harmful than helpful. About an hour before bed, treat yourself to a warm shower or bath, relaxing and heating up your body. When you step out into the cool air, your body temperature will drop, which mimics the action your body takes as it is preparing for sleep. Adding this step to your nightly routine can help your body begin to get into sleep-mode. Reduce any stimuli that could keep you awake. This may include noises, uncomfortable temperatures, a television, light, allergens, or uncomfortable mattresses. Possible solutions for managing these problems include:  Use ear plugs or “white noise machines” to dampen sounds. White noise machines make a low, constant noise which, after a few minutes, you won’t notice. However, it cancels out other sounds which might disturb you. These techniques may be helpful if traffic noises or your neighbors keep you awake. Use eye shades or blackout curtains to reduce light. This may be helpful if you work nights and have to sleep during the day, or if there is bright street lighting outside your window. Keep your room a comfortable temperature. Most people sleep best when the room is between 60 and 67 °F (16-19 °C). If you live in a hot, dry climate, try using a cool humidifier or fan to bring the temperature down. If you have allergies, try to reduce the number of allergens you are exposed to in...

You can go for a brisk walk, a jog, or a run if you prefer to be outside. If you prefer the indoors or in harsh weather conditions, use a stationary bike or treadmill. Do these exercises for 45-60 minutes, four days a week. Not only will it help your mental state, it will also help with physical agility as well. Whether it's the latest thriller, a classic novel, or your favorite magazine, reading engages many parts of your brain linked with memory, cognition, and imagination....

Article in English: Waking up with a positive attitude (that is, “on the right side of the bed”) is critical to feeling alert and refreshed. Treat waking up like a new opportunity to do great things, not as a chore! Try the following:  Don't hit the snooze bar. This will just waste your time and will plunge you into a drowsy half-sleep for a few extra minutes.  Take a few deep breaths and fill your lungs with air. Get up and smile! Don't waste time playing around with your phone or yawning and tossing and turning. The sooner you get started, the better you'll feel. If you're still feeling sleepy, take a step outside or on your balcony to breathe in some crisp morning air. Some people like to start with a shower, others like to exercise, and still others prefer to begin with breakfast. Do whatever makes your body and mind feel like you're getting ready for your day, and stick to the same routine each morning.  Consistency is key. Find what works, and do it every morning—even on vacation! You might think that you need to take a cold shower to wake yourself up, since a warm one will presumably make you sleepy. In reality, though, if a warm shower is part of your morning routine, it will signal your body and mind that it’s time to get up and get moving. Consider having a radio in the bathroom to play your favorite pump-up music, or just sing to yourself. So long as you don’t load it up with lots of sugar, a cup of coffee may provide quite a few health benefits. The caffeine it provides can also help you feel more alert. However, you’ll likely get more of a boost from that caffeine if you wait at least 1-2 hours after waking up before drinking your coffee, for the following reasons: Cortisol is, among other things, your “alertness hormone.” Its levels in your body spike 3 times per day, usually within 2 hours after waking up, then at midday, and finally in early evening. Consuming caffeine while your cortisone level is up can signal your body to decrease the natural cortisone spike, which will end up making you feel more lethargic...

Summary in Russian:

Просыпайтесь быстро и с позитивным настроем, а также делайте несколько глубоких вдохов. Начинайте каждое утро с одного и того же ритуала. Насладитесь чашечкой кофе позже утром.


Article in English: Walk around a little if you can. Resist the urge to sit  or lay down. Also avoid leaning up against anything. If your eyes are heavy, you may doze off. As long as you are standing up and moving you should be able to avoid falling asleep. Cold water works best. The colder the better. Something to sort of shock you into waking up. You can easily excuse yourself to the bathroom to do this. The goal here is to make yourself uncomfortable. If your face is cold you will be less likely to fall asleep. If you have short, combed-over hair you could put cold water on your scalp too. This is a lot easier in winter or in cold offices. Take off that jacket or scarf. Roll up your long sleeves. Grab a glass of ice cold water. Take a few gulps, refill, and keep it at your desk. If you have a space heater at your desk, turn it off. You may even want to turn a fan on to keep you cooler. You may opt to start doing things more quickly. Stand and march in place while at your desk. If you can take a quick break, do jumping jacks or run in place. This will get your heart rate up. More blood will be moving to your brain and your lungs will start working harder to provide oxygen to the blood. As your heart rate rises you will be more awake and alert. Taking a shower will also influence your cardiovascular system by raising your blood pressure. If you are tired, a monotonous task will prompt your eyes to become very heavy. If you can switch tasks and do something different, try that instead. If it involves paying close attention to something or someone else that's even better. When our minds are engaged we become more awake and alert. If you can listen to something on the radio or on your phone do so. If you have a favorite radio station or upbeat playlist or music album listen to that and sing. Try listening to a book on tape. If you like keeping up with current events, news radio may also keep your mind engaged. If you are unable to shake your midday sleepiness you may not be getting enough rest in general. Consider establishing a...

Article in English: Walk around your tractor doing an inspection before climbing on. Loose wheel lugs, nuts or bolts may need periodic tightening. Low pressure in one or more tires may cause instability and create a safety hazard. If you're not driving your tractor every day, make it a routine to give the tires a quick once-over so you know they're in good shape before you get way out in a field. Do this when your tractor attachments are behind the tractor. Check the cooling system, radiator and battery levels to make sure they are in the proper range.Make sure you have enough oil and fuel to complete the job or task at hand. Wear good-quality boots with gripping soles, and keep any long hair tied back. Avoid dangling jewelry that could become caught in moving machinery, and avoid wearing loose or baggy clothing while operating a tractor. Always climb into the tractor using the proper hand holds.

When you find the motion that causes the squeak, look for the parts of the shoe that bend during that motion.

Identify a black latch with a picture of a car with its hood raised on it. Use your fingers to pull the latch toward you. Pull the latch until you hear a pop and feel the tension release from the latch. Your Mini Cooper’s hood should have popped open.  If the hood is still closed, you may need to pull the latch harder. If the hood does not pop open after multiple attempts, the hood release cable may be broken. Ask a mechanic who is familiar with Mini Coopers to look at it for you.

Article in English: Walk the area in the light of day and take note of the lay of the land. Draw out a map of the area you'll be covering and be sure to study it before you embark on your mission. Make it as detailed as possible, drawing every object that could be an obstacle or a source of shelter - groves of trees, empty sheds, dumpsters, and so on. If you're going out with a friend, you won't be able to call to one another. Learn sign language or make up your own hand signals to help you navigate the territory without speaking. Have you ever played hide-and-seek and been in an excellent hiding place, then suddenly get struck with the urge to relieve yourself? Often the suspense and excitement of being found out, regardless of the situation, will stimulate a reaction in the bowels and bladder. Even if you feel no need to use the facilities ahead of time, it is still a good idea. Bring a couple tiny, solid objects that you can throw and that are capable of making some sort of noise. Make sure that they are natural objects like rocks or something that goes with the environment; otherwise the person you are trying to distract may get suspicious. Throwing something can be used as a quick diversion if someone in the vicinity of where you are sneaking thinks they saw something moving or heard something unusual.  Take one of the objects out quickly and throw it at the nearest hard surface that is in the opposite direction to create noise. If the noise you made was louder than the one they think they heard, they are likely to look at where that noise came from, allowing you to slip away undetected. You can pick up a stick or another object and throw it in a certain direction. The person will move to inspect it while you go in the opposite direction. Just remember that if the object is too big, the person looking for you might see it and find out not only that you're there, but also the direction it was thrown from. Don't enter private property without permission, and don't use these guidelines to burglarize a home. If you're doing...

Article in English: Walk the bike to the top of a slope, mount it, and glide down, allowing the bike to slow naturally in the flat area at the bottom. Dismount and repeat as necessary until you get used to balancing and controlling the bike.  Keep your weight focused in your feet. Stay pressed against the seat, keep your elbows bent, and your body relaxed.  When you are confident you can coast to the bottom, try riding down with your feet on the pedals. Once you have become comfortable keeping your feet on the pedals, try again, this time gently squeezing the brakes while descending. You'll learn to slow the bike without swerving out of control or pitching over the handlebars. Once you can coast, pedal, and brake in a straight line, try going down the hill again. Move the handlebars until you change the direction of the bike without losing control. Feel how the slope changes the way the bike acts and adjust your balance to match it. Use the techniques learned while gliding to pedal and steer without stopping at the bottom of the hill. Transition to the flatter surface while practicing sharper turns, then brake to a stop. From the flat bottom of the hill, start pedaling. The slope requires additional work. Lean forward into the pedaling or even stand up to gain extra power. Bike up and down the slope several times until you feel comfortable. Once you feel confident, bike halfway up the slope, come to a stop, and start pedaling upwards again.

Тренируйтесь спускаться с пологих склонов. Тормозите при спуске со склонов. Учитесь поворачивать. Задействуйте педали после спуска со склона. Попробуйте заехать на холм.


Article in English: Walk towards the fledgling until you’re less than 3 feet (0.91 m) away. Crouch down and inspect the young bird for any signs of injury. These can include a drooping wing, visible broken bones, or any signs of blood. Also watch the bird as it moves. If it holds its wings against its sides and doesn’t show signs of pain, it’s probably not injured. A seriously injured fledgling may have flies buzzing around or, if it’s in very bad shape, have a few maggots crawling across its body. Wildlife rehabilitators are trained professionals who know how to care for orphaned or hurt fledglings. Also call a rehabilitator if the fledgling doesn’t seem to be injured but appears to have been abandoned by its parents. The rehabilitator will inspect the fledgling and, if needed, can take the bird to a wildlife care center.  If you live in the United States, you can find a website for wildlife rehabilitators in every state online at: https://secure.mediapeta.com/peta/PDF/WildlifeRehabilitatorsbyState.pdf. If you live outside of the U.S., contact your local government or animal-control center and ask about wildlife rehabilitation personnel. In some situations, you won’t have time to wait for a wildlife rehabilitator to arrive on the scene. For example, if feral cats live in the area where the fledgling has fallen or if you see a hawks circling, the fledgling is in immediate danger. Gently slide your hand beneath the fledgling, lift it up, and place the fledgling onto a low tree branch or sturdy bush. It’s a good idea to still call a wildlife rehabilitator after you’ve placed the fledgling into a tree. Domesticated animals can be dangerous to fledgling birds that are unable to fly. Housecats especially would enjoy toying with and eventually killing a defenseless fledgling. So, if the fledgling is within 1⁄4 mile (0.40 km) of your home, keep all pets indoors for up to 2 weeks, or until the fledgling has flown off. If you have neighbors with housecats, advise them to keep their pets indoors for the same amount of time also.

Article in English: Walk with good posture and look people in the eye. If you slump or stare at your feet, people won't respect you. You have to look and feel confident in order to receive the respect you need. Don't walk too fast either because it looks like you are running away. Smile. Be a habitual, unrepentant over-smiler, with every grin being a genuine one. If you smile when you meet someone, you instantly appear confident, friendly and relaxed. Confident, friendly, relaxed people are much more appealing than their uptight compadres. Being fit will raise your self-esteem and will make you look at the world in a more positive light. This doesn't mean that you need a six pack to be cool, but it does mean that taking care of your body is definitely cool. Try to exercise regularly, go to the gym, or play a sport and keep in good shape. Eat healthy too. Having the energy to be involved in many things is something that not everyone is born with, so try to work out. You will see results if you work hard. Know that you will never be able to please everyone. Try hard, but don't be so concerned with judging yourself or being judged by others. People have millions of ways to get under your skin. Learn to spot them and become immune. Be happy with yourself and do what you enjoy. Be sure to brush your teeth every morning and every night. And whenever you can, even after lunch. Wear perfume (if you're a girl) and spray on a bit, just a bit of cologne (if you're a boy). Shower every day and wear deodorant. Also use lotion so that your skin is not ashy and put on some lip balm if your lips are dry. You should wash your face every morning to keep fresh and pimple free. You don't have to spend hours on your looks each day to be cool. But hey, 20–30 minutes spent showering and grooming won't kill you. If you want to look cool, then your body has to project confidence at all times. If you're talking to someone, make eye contact, use your hands to gesture, and sit or stand with good posture. Smile, even if you're feeling a little nervous, and...

Article in English: Walking in the highest heels isn't like the walking you learned to do when you were a child, so you have to do a few things that might feel counterintuitive: Take small, slow steps, making sure not to bend your knees any more than you normally would. You'll notice that high heels tend to shorten your stride a bit. The taller the heel, the shorter the stride ends up being. Don't try to fight this by taking bigger steps—stick with small, dainty steps which will make your walk look more natural and help you to feel more comfortable. Wearing heeled shoes shifts your centre of gravity, and your lower back arches in order to compensate if you don't maintain excellent posture.  Imagine there is a piece of invisible string holding your head upright—your head should be in line with your spine and your chin should be parallel with the floor. Avoid looking down when walking in high heels!  Put your shoulders back and down and keep your arms relaxed at your sides. Swing your arms slightly as you walk for balance.  Keep your abdominal muscles engaged, sucking your belly button towards your spine. This will help your stand up straighter while also making your look thinner.  Bend your knees slightly, they should never be locked when walking in heels. Keep your legs close together as you walk and point your toes directly ahead. Wear your heels for a day around the house before you wear them out. This will not only allow you to get used to wearing them, but it will also create scuffs on the bottom so that they're less slippery. Make sure you practice doing all the things you would normally do while walking, such as: walking, stopping, pivoting, and turning around.

Article in English: Walking is a simple and inexpensive way to start becoming more active. Taking a brief walk of just 15 to 20 minutes most days of the week will help strengthen your lower back as well as the rest of your body. Try walking with a buddy to help motivate you and make your walks more fun. If you're walking by yourself, you may want to listen to music, a podcast, or an audio book. If you have lower back pain to the point that you feel more comfortable sitting than standing, cycling is a good option for cardiovascular exercise. A stationary bike inside typically will be better for you than the bumpy, uneven road terrain. Cycling is low-impact and easy on your joints, and will strengthen your legs, hips, and lower back while also giving you a good cardiovascular workout. Mixing your cardio and strength training together creates an effective workout that will strengthen your lower back without increasing any lower back pain you may have. You can find beginner interval training workouts, including a lot of videos, online for free. Doing 3-5 minute intervals of high-intensity cardio between strength-training intervals will help you get and keep your heart rate up without putting too much strain on your lower back. If you have convenient access to a pool, swimming for just 20 to 30 minutes two or three days a week is a good way to strengthen your entire back. To avoid making any back problems worse, join a class or hire a coach to perfect your technique.  Swimming is a low-impact exercise and the water helps support you, making it great exercise if you have joint problems or are overweight. If you're new to swimming, start slow with 10-minute swims. Every week or so, increase your time in the water by five minutes until you're swimming for a half hour or longer each session. If you're not up for swimming, walking or jogging in water provide some resistance to help strengthen your legs and lower back, without you having to worry about your breath. Over the course of your day, you should aim to walk at least 10,000 steps....

Article in English: Walking meditation is exactly what it sounds: Using the openness and beauty of nature to inspire calm, positive thoughts in the brain. Be like Henry David Thoreau, walking through the wilderness and planning the site of your cabin-to-be. Or imagine you're Carl Linnaeus, the Swedish scientist, who classified many plants and animals. Being outside on a warm sunny day can do wonders for your disposition. This is a meditation technique that helps you clear your mind by obliterating your sense of time. Here's how to do it:  Focus your eyes on one point in the distance. Any stationary object about 10 feet (3.0 m) away works best; objects that are too far away are harder to focus on for longer periods of time. The object could be a wall, a vase, a speck of dirt — as long as it's not moving. Dim your conscious mind and continue to focus on the object. Your brainpower is all being channeled toward one task. Continue focusing on the object, even if your eyes begin to stray or your mind begins to wander. After a certain point, time will begin to slow. You'll be in the zone. Your concentration will not waver. You won't begin to worry about what was once worrying you because your concentration is 100% devoted to maintaining its gaze on the object. When you're ready, relax your concentration. Your mind should feel a little worn out, like it's just gone through mental calisthenics. You should feel better. Breathing is an essential part of meditation, which can be an essential part of clearing your mind. Mastering several different breathing techniques can help you achieve the open-minded clarity that comes with transcendence. Master this quick breathing technique — the complete breath — in order to better master meditation:  Standing up straight, exhale completely. Relax your belly muscles as you begin to inhale. Concentrate on filling your belly with air. Once your belly is completely filled with air, keep on breathing, expanding your chest and rib cage. Momentarily hold your breath, fighting the instinct to exhale. Exhale...

Article in English: Walking together with friends as often as possible can help deter bullies. They're less likely to attack if you're with others, as you're much stronger in a group. Plus, people with a large group of friends are less often the target of bullying. If someone says something rude or is trying to egg you on, your response may be to get into a fight. Getting angry is understandable, but you don't have to use that anger to give into violence. Take a few deep breaths and count to 10 in your head. That will help you calm down so you can think of something else to do.  Try breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. Take deep breaths you can feel in your stomach. If you need to, walk away for a few minutes to calm down. Think about what you can do in the situation you're in. You always have options when it comes to how you will react to a situation, so try to come up with a few scenarios. Think through the consequences of each one. For instance, if someone calls you a name you don't like, you could ignore them and walk away, start a fight, or call them a name back. Ignoring them may or may not get them to stop, but it definitely keeps you out of trouble. Starting a fight will likely get you in trouble and doesn't solve the issue. Calling them a name back may feel good in the moment, but it may also make the situation worse. Once you've thought through the consequences of your reactions, choose the best one for the situation. In most situations, it's best to pick the one that de-escalates the situation and keeps you out of trouble. For instance, in the above situation, it's probably best to ignore the person and walk away if you can. If someone is bothering you and won't stop, react in a calm manner. Whether it's something like poking or pinching you or making fun of you, they're trying to get a reaction out of you. If you fail to react emotionally, it takes the "fun" out of it. If you need to, you can reinforce what you say with some light action. For instance, if someone is repeatedly pinching you, you...

Article in English: Wall paint is easy to damage and even easier to streak. Always start with your mildest cleansing option, and only move on to something stronger is you really need to. This is especially true for flat and eggshell/satin walls. To prevent damage to your walls, it is a really good idea to do a spot test in a not-so-visible location, such as inside a cabinet. Try a few different cleansers. Simply apply the cleanser to wall, scrub, and wait to see if it has caused discoloration, streaking, or other damage. To remove a stain from your walls, try just warm water first. Dampen a soft sponge, wring it out very well, and wipe down your wall. Sometimes a bit of water and elbow grease are all you need. Combine 1-2 drops of dish detergent in about 1 quart (950 ml) of warm water. Soak and wring out a soft sponge. Use the sponge to remove the stain. Repeat this method until your wall is clean.  The detergent is so diluted that it shouldn't need to be rinsed off. If your spot test left a residue, try rinsing with clean water to see if this takes care of it. Add 1 cup (240 ml) of ammonia, 0.5 cups (120 ml) of vinegar, and 0.25 cups (59 ml) of baking soda to 1 gallon (3,800 ml) of warm water. For tough stains, soak a soft sponge in this solution, and wring it dry. Use this sponge to remove any stains from your wall. Repeat this method until the stain is gone.  Always perform a spot test before using this cleanser. This cleanser will work best on gloss/semigloss walls.

Article in English: Wall safes cost between $50-$350 on average but some will be even higher priced. For a decent safe you can budget between $150-300 but the actual price will depend on the features and size you want. Different security features and fireproofing abilities can increase the cost of your chosen safe. Most homes are built from two-by-fours (44 x 94mm) spaced 16 inches (40.5 cm) apart. This means that the typical safe will have to fit in this space. Look for a wall safe with a width of less than 16 inches (40.5 cm) and depth of 3.5 inches (9 cm).

If you want a fire resistant wall safe choose one that will protect your goods for at least 30 minutes because most fires move through a room in about 20 minutes.  UL and Intertek rate wall safes according to the type of material they will protect and the length of time they will provide protection. Look on the safe itself or the packaging for these ratings. Choose the wall safe with a fire protection rating according to what you would like to protect. Papers should not get hotter than 350 degrees F (176 degrees C), old tape recordings or 35mm slides no hotter than 150 degrees F (65 degrees C) and CDs/DVDs no hotter than 125 degrees F (52 degrees C).  In Europe the Eurograde system evaluates wall safes. Access control features may include a combination, a key, both a key and pin code or biometric data such as a fingerprint.

Article in English: Wanting to know your origins isn’t a sign of disloyalty to your family, whether they’re your birth family or adoptive. It is very common for adoptees to want to understand their personal histories, and research suggests that this knowledge can improve a person’s well-being. Has some particular event or experience prompted to you ask these questions? Have you always felt a little different from the rest of your family? It’s natural as you grow up to feel somewhat disconnected from your parents, or to feel sometimes as though you have nothing in common with them. It’s also common to feel like you are different or an outsider during adolescence. While these feelings may be stronger for adoptive children, almost everyone experiences them at some point. Do you want simply to know whether or not you were adopted? Do you want the story of how you came to be adopted? Do you want to search for your biological parents? Do you want to contact your biological relatives, or do you just want to know who they are? Understanding what you want from the situation will help you as you talk with your family. While the number of “open” adoptions (adoptions with some level of contact between the biological and adoptive families) has risen dramatically over the past few years, many people still feel uncomfortable talking about adoption with their children or with other adults. Even if your family wants to talk to you about this issue, they may not know how. Stigma is particularly likely if the adoption occurred under certain circumstances, such as a teenaged mother giving up her child for adoption or an intra-family adoption. This is an obvious step, but it can be very difficult. Keep your parents’ feelings in mind as you ask questions, but be open with them about your feelings too. It’s probably a good idea to approach your parents first, if they are still living, rather than going to other family members. Many family members may wish to respect your parents’ wishes and could feel uncomfortable sharing information with you if you...

Article in English: Warm beverages will raise your core temperature. The process can be very relaxing and even stimulating. Make a cup of tea or coffee. Sip on some warm broth. A lot of people say you release one-third of your body's heat from your head but despite common belief, you release heat equally throughout your body. Either way, a hat is a good friend at a time like this. A turtleneck sweater or onesie can also work wonders. Dress in layers, especially with wool or cotton clothing. Wear slippers or warm socks. When you are sitting still, wrap a thick pure wool blanket around you. You also may want to consider purchasing a thermal shirt as wearing one under your sweater makes for a comfy shirt and an increased level of warmth. If you still get cold legs, you could buy a 2-pack of black tights from your local shop. Make sure they are opaques. Wear one or more pairs over each other under your clothes; this will provide your body with another layer of clothing to trap in warm air. Men can use long johns in lieu of stockings. If, for example, you have a bedroom that is much smaller than your living room you could choose to use it as your bed-sitting room. Doing twenty minutes of vigorous exercise can warm you up and keep you warm well after the exercise session. Plus, a healthy body is generally more tolerant of the cold. Be active. Moving around produces body heat! The more active you are, the better your blood circulation will be. This means that warm blood gets to your fingers and toes, keeping them warm.

Article in English: Warm herbal tea and other hot drinks will soothe and relax your vocal cords. This, in turn, will allow your voice to return to normal as quickly as possible. If you don’t like herbal tea, try a mug of hot apple cider or hot chocolate.  Chamomile tea, or any tea designed to soothe your throat, will be especially helpful for a hoarse voice. Avoid spicy herbal teas with ginger or lemon. Avoid caffeinated tea or coffee when soothing your vocal cords. The caffeine in the tea will dehydrate your body, and could worsen the hoarseness of your voice. This will create an extra-soothing drink. Honey has soothing properties of its own, and is commonly used to treat a sore throat or hoarse voice.   You could also eat a few spoonfuls of pure honey. However, since honey is thick and tough to swallow, adding it to tea is the most common option.  If you don’t like tea, try sucking on a piece of hard candy made with honey. Or, add a spoonful to a mug of hot water with a squeeze of lemon juice. Add 1 pinch of salt to a mug full of warm water. Take a mouthful of the water, and gargle it in the back of your throat for about 30 seconds. Gargling with salt water will help moisten and soothe your throat, and help your voice sound less hoarse. Spit the water out once you’ve finished. Hard candy or cough drops will soothe and moisten your scratchy throat. This will reduce any pain or discomfort, and help you voice sound less hoarse. Hard candies made with menthol may help by coating your throat and returning the sound of your voice to normal. The flavor of the candy or lozenge doesn’t matter. Avoid spicy hard candy (including cinnamon-flavored candies), as the spice may cause stomach acid to rise up in your throat. A humidifier will project cool, humid air into the room while you sleep. As you inhale the humid air, your throat and vocal cords will moisten. This will reduce the effects of laryngitis and help your voice sound normal in the morning.  If you don’t own a humidifier, you can purchase one at any department store or...

Article in English: Warm or hot environments can make us feel tired, sluggish, and sleepy. In contrast, cold environments can make us feel more alert. Indeed, BUD/S candidates say that when you’re freezing cold, it’s almost impossible to fall asleep.   They are subjected to up to 15 minutes immersed in water that is barely above 60 degrees Fahrenheit.  Go outside and jump in the snow. Drink a glass or two of ice water. Sit in an ice bath. Adjust the air conditioning to make the room cold. Take a cold shower. Perform the above techniques with caution. Too much time spent in the cold can cause your body temperature to drop too low, resulting in hypothermia. Hypothermia is a potentially deadly condition. You’re less likely to fall asleep when you're uncomfortable, according to one military member who successfully completed Hell Week. This may involve getting “wet and sandy” like the BUD/S candidates do or standing up instead of sitting or lying down. Crank up the volume on your stereo. Loud noises will make it difficult to relax and fall asleep. For added benefit, get up and dance to the loud music. Listen to rock, death metal, or upbeat pop. Avoid slow, boring music. Go outside or move to a different room in your house if you feel yourself getting tired. Often, new surroundings can provide novel things to focus your attention on. This can help you feel less tired.  If you are inside, go outside and vice versa. Move to a different room. Avoid rooms with beds, comfortable couches, and comfortable chairs.

Stir until the salt dissolves in the water. Then, sip enough of the fluid to swish in your mouth and swish for about a minute. Spit out the fluid when you are done. Repeat this process several times throughout the day to help with pain and promote healing. Garlic has been shown to have some powerful antibacterial properties. Try using fresh garlic in a compress for a tooth infection. You can either use fresh, crushed garlic or one teaspoon of dried garlic powder mixed with one teaspoon of water.  To make the garlic compress, place the fresh crushed garlic or garlic powder paste into a clean nylon stocking. Gather the garlic into one small section of the nylon stocking so that it forms a small ball or lump. Then, apply the compress to the affected tooth and hold it there for about five minutes. Repeat this process four or five times per day. Some people use apple cider vinegar to help treat infections, so it might help with a tooth infection. Mix one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar with about one cup of water. Then, swish the solution in your mouth for about a minute and spit it out.  Repeat this rinse a few times per day. Clove oil may help ease some of the pain caused by an infected tooth. There is also some evidence that using a toothpaste that contains clove oil may be an effective treatment for plaque.  To use clove oil, put a few drops on a cotton swab and dab the oil onto the affected tooth. Leave the clove oil on your tooth for about three to five minutes. Then, rinse out your mouth with some salt water. Repeat this treatment four or five times per day.

Article in English: Warm up 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 milliliters) of coconut oil or olive oil in a little dish. You can do this in the microwave or on the stove, but be careful not to let it get too hot. It should be warm and comfortable to the touch. If you want a fancier spa, try one of the following mixtures instead:  1 teaspoon of each of the following: almond oil, coconut oil, olive oil, and sesame oil. 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) of coconut oil, 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of olive oil, and 4 to 5 drops of vitamin E oil. Spread the rest of the oil through your hair, from the roots to the ends. This will help improve the circulation in your scalp. Dip a clean towel in warm water. Wring out the excess water so that it's damp. Wrap the towel around your head and hair. Secure it with a clip, if needed. The heat will trap the oil and open up the hair follicles. It will help the oil penetrate your hair and scalp and nourish it. If you have very dry hair, wait 15 to 20 minutes instead. Use enough mild shampoo to get the oil out. You can add conditioner if your hair is very dry, but the mask in the next step will be nourishing enough on their own.

Article in English: Warm water will open up your pores and help your cleanser foam up to give your a good clean.  Make sure the water is warm. If it's too cold the pores will close up and you won't be able to clean them out. If it's too hot your skin will get irritated. Apply the water with your hands. Using a towel will irritate your skin due to the friction caused by rubbing. You'll want a gentle cleanser that's free of alcohol and any other harsh chemicals. These can further irritate your skin instead of cleaning it. Remember to apply it with your hands instead of a towel.  It might be helpful to identify your skin type to help you choose the right kind of facial cleanser for your skin. Use a liquid facial cleanser rather than a bar. Bar soaps tend to dry out the skin more than liquid soaps. This might be okay if your skin is naturally oily, but if you have dry skin than bar soaps will probably cause irritation. If you notice that your skin is tight or itchy after washing, try switching to a liquid cleanser.  If you suffer from acne, look for a cleanser with  salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or benzyl peroxide. These ingredients will give your a deeper clean and act as astringents that will kill acne-causing bacteria.  You can go with a brand name cleanser, such as Cetaphil, Noxzema, or Neutrogena, or opt for a generic cleanser. If your skin was very dirty or you recently sweat profusely, you might require a deeper clean. Exfoliating will strip away dead skin and dirt, revealing shiny new layers beneath. Again, choose an exfoliant that is alcohol-free. After cleansing, rinse to allow dirt and bacteria to flow out of your pores. Then gently pat your face with a towel until it's dry. Do not rub the towel on your face. This will irritate your skin. Washing your face strips it of essential oils that protect your skin. To keep your face healthy, apply moisturizer every time you wash it. For dry skin, use a cream moisturizer. For normal skin, use a lotion. For oily skin, use gel. Excessive washing will strip away oils and cause...

Article in English: Warm water will soften your skin and prepare it for exfoliation. A good rule of thumb is to soak in the tub or stand under the shower for 5 to 10 minutes before you begin scrubbing.  Water that’s too hot can dry out your skin. The optimal temperature for your skin is a lukewarm temperature below 105 °F (41 °C) (if your skin is turning red, it’s too hot!).  If you’re going to shave your legs, do so before using the sugar scrub to avoid stinging and irritation. Wash your skin before you scrub to remove sweat, dirt, and makeup. Otherwise scrubbing could push it further into the skin. With gentle pressure, rub the sugar scrub into your skin in a circular motion using the pads of your fingers. This not only sloughs off dead skin, it also boosts circulation and stimulates the production of collagen in your body, a protein that helps fight wrinkles and keeps skin looking young.  Start at the top of your body and work down. Be careful not to scrub too vigorously as it could damage your skin. There’s no need to use shower gel or soap following your scrub. For extra hydration and smoother skin, let the scrub sit on your body for a couple of minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Gently use a towel to pat your body completely dry. Once you’re dry, apply lotion or body oil to moisturize your newly exfoliated skin. Do this immediately after drying off while your pores are still open and able to absorb the moisturizer easier and faster.  Have a jar or extra virgin coconut oil laying around? It can double as a cheap yet effective moisturizer thanks to its high level of saturated fats. Only use it if you aren’t prone to breaking out.  Always apply sunscreen after exfoliating as your skin is more vulnerable. Use one that's SPF 30 or higher and has broad-spectrum protection. Sugar scrubs shouldn’t be part of your daily beauty routine. Over-exfoliating can irritate your skin so aim to use a sugar scrub no more than three times per week at most. Don’t use a sugar scrub on skin that’s sunburned or highly sensitive. You should also...

Article in English: Warmer water absorbs detergent better, which means that less soap residue is left caked onto the fabric. Furthermore, hot water can help dissolve oils that are left over from hygiene products and skin. Be aware that brightly-colored towels may fade with repeated hot-water washing. If you don't care about fading, then proceed to wash with hot water. If you want to retain the color, then wash with cold water and try other towel-softening techniques. Mix one cup fabric softener with as much hot water as you need to submerge your towels. Soak the towels in the softener solution for at least an hour, until the softener has had time to thoroughly permeate the fabric. Most commercial fabric softeners contain silicon, which can coat the surface of your towels and limit their absorptive properties. Use the extra rinse cycle when you machine-wash your towels, and use a half-cup of white vinegar instead of soap in the first cycle. The vinegar will remove the oils and soapy residue that toughen up your towel, making it fluffier and more absorbent. Use a light soap (or just water) in the second rinse cycle to rinse out the smell of vinegar but retain the soft finish. Try mixing half a cup of baking soda into your regular detergent. This should help wash away any oils, dirt, or chemicals that are making your towel stiff or scratchy. This is also great for removing musty odors – the sort of stink that develops when a towel has been left damp for a while.

Article in English: Warming up will get your blood flowing and help prevent injury. To warm up, do some cardio exercises like walking or jogging. You should also do some active stretching, like arm circles or arm swings. If pull-ups are hard for you, it may feel natural to "scrunch up" your body while performing them. This can put extra stress on your neck and back muscles, making the entire workout process harder. To avoid this, set your shoulders by pushing them back and keep your spine arched. For those who don't know any better, pull-ups may seem like the ultimate test of arm strength. However, your back muscles are just as important, if not more so. To make your workout easier and more effective, try to use the muscles on your back and around your armpits to help pull yourself up. Specifically, try to engage your latissimus dorsi muscles (“lats”) and rear deltoids (“delts”). When performing your pull-ups, try crossing your legs close to the ankles. Though it may seem unimportant, this can reduce some of the pressure in your arms and will make it easier to maintain proper form while exercising. When crossing your legs, you can either bend your knees or keep them straight. Neither will affect the overall routine, so choose whichever option feels best. Assisted pull-ups will allow you to perform the same basic motions you would for an ordinary pull up, but with a little extra help so you can more easily complete the exercise. Since these closely mimic actual pull-ups, they're great for getting your form right before you attempt the real thing. You can do assisted pull ups by:  Using a pull-up machine. Looping a resistance band around the bar and your foot to support some of your weight. Standing on a stool with one foot. Asking a partner to hold your feet or legs while you workout.

Article in English: Warming up your baby will relax her body, and provide relief to a tense and cramped stomach. To warm your baby, put her in a blanket.Curl up with your baby to provide your body heat. A warm bath may also help calm her tummy. Try massaging your baby's tummy in a circular motion, clockwise, to relieve pain and pressure in his gastrointestinal tract. You can use baby oil, warmed up between your hands. A massage improves blood circulation in the baby's stomach, which can help calm colic. You can help your baby do bicycling exercises that will prompt the acceleration of digestion and bowel movements. Be very gentle with your baby and do the exercise on a soft surface.  Place your baby on her back. Take her legs and gently move them in a bicycling motion. Continue this exercise for a few minutes to achieve the full effect of the exercise. Laying your baby on his tummy can allow gas to escape more easily. Only do this when your baby is already old enough to roll over on his tummy and support his head.  Letting him spend some time in this position will help relieve pressure caused by trapped gas. Only this when you are with your baby, and don't put your baby to sleep on his tummy. Sometimes this will be enough to put pressure on her stomach and keep it warm. Some of the positions include:  Football hold — have the baby balanced along your arm and move gently back and forth. Nestled on your chest — with her stomach on your chest, and head under your chin. Put your baby in his car seat and go for a short drive. The rhythmic movements and humming of the car will settle your baby. If you do not have a car, you can try singing a song or playing quiet music, moving your baby with rhythmic movements.

Article in English: Warmth and moisture tends to make the adhesive in many bandages more pliable. One convenient way to soak the sticky area in warm water is to simply take a bath or shower. The adhesive may come off on its own, or may need a little gentle scrubbing from a washrag or mild abrasive pad. If you don't have time to take a bath or shower, just fill a bowl or pan with warm water and soak the affected area. This works best if you can let the adhesive soak for a long time. Try this remedy while you're reading or watching television. A few drops of olive, canola, vegetable, coconut, or sunflower oil can help remove adhesive from the skin. Some adhesives dissolve in oil. Others lose their grip when the oil finds its way between the glue and the skin. For best results, work the oil into the affected area with a little gentle action from a soft rag or cotton swab. You don't need much — your goal is to lightly coat the skin, not drench it. Let the oil soak for a moment or two before rubbing gently with a soft towel or cotton ball. Repeat as needed to get all the adhesive off. Cover the ice with a paper towel to prevent it from sticking to skin and leave in place for five minutes.  The ice will make the adhesive brittle, which may cause it to release.

Article in English: Warts are caused by HPV (human papillomavirus) and as such, can take quite a bit of time to eliminate naturally by one's immune system. Some warts will disappear over time, without treatment. However, "time" could mean anywhere from a couple weeks to a couple of years, so you may wish to choose a more active method. Whichever method you choose, allow it time to work. Some methods are faster acting than others. The fastest method to removing warts permanently is using 100% TCA. With this method results are often seen in less than 10 days and are permanent.  It is also the cheapest and is discussed later. Salicylic acid is the ingredient of most over-the-counter wart removers, including Compound W and Occlusal. It's effectiveness varies and it can take weeks for it work. Soak the skin in water for 5 minutes or longer, apply the acid liberally using the brush and let it dry. Leave it for a day. You can either peel or file it off and then file remaining dead skin.  Do this every two or three days. Several studies have tried to assess the effectiveness of duct tape in removing warts. Duct tape occlusion therapy (DTOT) is supposed to localize medication in the general wart area as well as "choke" the wart itself. One study found that duct tape following the application of imiquimod 5% cream was an effective treatment against the common wart. However it takes a long time (can take up to 6 months) and usually people don't see success with this. Ask your doctor about using cantharidin, a fast-acting chemical that will burn away the wart. Unfortunately,  It can be really expensive, upwards of $500.   There is some pain involved, but you may see results in just a day. The doctor applies cantharidin directly on the wart, then applies a bandage. The next day, the bandage is taken off and the dead skin is removed. If it doesn't work in one treatment, you may need another method—your doctor will make appropriate recommendations. Another remedy your doctor may try is liquid nitrogen—or cryotherapy—to freeze the wart. It may...

Article in English: Was it a fight, cheating, or did you feel that he slowly lost interest? Understanding why he broke up with you will help you understand if trying to get him back is the best thing to do.  Think about his behavior in the weeks before the breakup. This will help you determine if the relationship can be saved. If it was a sudden breakup resulting from a disagreement, then he just may need some cooling off time. If the relationship had been going wrong for months, then consider if trying to get him back is worth the effort. If it was an argument that led to the breakup, understanding why the fight happened will help you fix it. Was it your first fight, or was the fighting consistent? People fight, break up, and make up all the time. But if it was a pattern, this indicates bigger problems in the relationship as a whole.  If the fight was physical, understand that physical violence is never okay. It is not a good idea to get back into a relationship with someone who uses physical violence against you. Alternatively, it is never okay to use violence against a partner. Seek help from friends, family, and possibly a doctor if you have or have had thoughts about harming your partner. If the relationship ended due to cheating, think about if a healthy relationship will be possible. More often than not, a relationship that ended due to cheating should stay that way.   If he cheated, consider if you could truly forgive him. You may be reacting emotionally if the breakup was recent. If you cheated, consider if trying to get him back is fair to him. The betrayal of cheating is difficult for most people to get past. There was probably a root cause for the cheating. It is possible that the one who did the cheating was not satisfied in the relationship. If the relationship faded because of a loss in interest, then consider the reason. The timing could have been off, you may have been going through a hard time, or you may not be the right person for him.  He could have lost interest because one of you changed. You may have gone...

Article in English: Was the situation black and white - you were wrong, and the other person was right? Or is the issue you're dealing with more complicated than that? Making amends can be tricky when you're not sure exactly who's to blame for what. Think through what happened and decide what you need to apologize for.  If your role is clear and you know what you need to apologize for, making amends should be fairly straightforward (though not necessarily less difficult). For example, if you borrowed someone's car without asking and got into a fender bender, it should be pretty clear how to make amends. On the other hand, maybe it's not so clear. For example, maybe you and a friend haven't spoken in months, and both of you said hurtful things that have led the relationship to come to a standstill. It might be hard to put your finger on how the feud started and who's responsible. When you've done something wrong toward someone else, you might not feel entirely apologetic. People often disguise their shame by acting aggressive or defensive and making excuses for their behavior. It can be really hard to own up to hurting someone else, but if you're going to make amends you'll have to focus on making things right instead of allowing other feelings to cloud the situation further. Ask yourself these questions to help you acknowledge your feelings:  Are you trying to cover up feelings of shame because you are afraid of being a lesser person if you acknowledge your wrongdoing? Don't worry - apologizing for something you did wrong actually makes you a better person in others' eyes, not a worse one. Are you aware of your mistake but have convinced yourself that you need to fight your way out of this to preserve your reputation? All you're going to do is create a new reputation for yourself as someone who's angry and stubborn. Are you worried that this is a battle between self-respect and respect for others? What is their perspective of what happened between you? Do you think they are feeling the same resentment, anger, annoyance as you?...

Article in English: Wasabi doesn't develop its distinctive flavor until it becomes mature after about 24 months. During this time the wasabi will grow about two feet tall and two feet wide. It will stop getting taller and wider, and start putting energy into growing a long, carrot-like rhizome beneath the soil. Rhizomes are mature and ready to eat when they're about seven or eight inches long. Dig up one rhizome to check the length before completing the rest of the harvest. Use a long, slim spade or pitchfork and take care not to cut the rhizomes when you dig it out. Wasabi left in the ground will produce new seeds and drop them into the soil, saving you the trouble of ordering more seeds. Leave several plants in the ground so you'll have a fresh crop of wasabi in the next couple of years. When the new plants begin to sprout, space the seedlings about 12 inches apart so they have plenty of room to grow. If you leave them in clumps, many will wilt and die. Clean the wasabi rhizomes and discard the leaves. To enjoy wasabi's fresh, sharp flavor, shave off as much as you need and leave the rest of the rhizome intact. The heat of the wasabi will fade after a few hours, so it's best to cut off only as much as you need for one meal at a time. Fresh wasabi will keep in the refrigerator for about a month or two before it begins to rot. If you want to save wasabi for later use, it's best to dry it out and grind it into a powder. The powder can be mixed with a little water to form wasabi paste.

Article in English: Wasabi seeds are difficult to source at local nurseries, so most people order them online. Late fall is the best time to order seeds; wasabi needs the winter to establish good roots. When the seeds arrive, keep them moist and plan to plant within 48 hours of receipt. The night before you plant them, place the seeds in a small bowl and cover them with distilled water. Soak the seeds overnight prior to planting. Soaking will help to soften the seed shells and make it easier for the wasabi to germinate. Sow the seeds one to two inches apart and press them lightly into the soil. Wasabi is a semi-aquatic plant that must be kept wet to flourish. Every day, mist the soil and the sprouting seedlings with fresh, cool water to emulate splashes from natural water sources, like a stream or waterfall. If the wasabi is allowed to dry out, it will begin to wilt.  A micro-irrigation system is a good alternative to misting. Watch your plants for wilting (not enough water) and root rot (too much water), and adjust your irrigation accordingly. Because wasabi must be kept wet, it is susceptible to mold and disease. If you see a plant become diseased (wilted and discolored), pull it out right away to prevent it from spreading to other plants. Do not soak the soil or plants with a hose or watering can, as this increases the chance of rot and disease. . Weed out competing plants so the wasabi roots have plenty of room to grow. Since the soil is kept moist on a daily basis, weeds tend to sprout quickly. Weeding every day or every other day will keep the problem under control.

Article in English: Wash 4 oranges and use a sharp knife to cut each orange into four pieces or wedges. If you're concerned about consuming pesticides, use organic oranges in this recipe. Pull the fruit away from the peels. Take a spoon and scrape away as much of the white pith as you can. Use a knife to cut the peels into long, narrow strips. They should be about 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) (6 mm) wide. You can eat the fruit or save it to use in another recipe. Place the strips of orange peel into a large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover them. Turn the heat on to high and bring the water to a boil. When the water boils, you can turn off the heat and place a colander in the sink. Drain the water through the colander and return the strips to the saucepan. Fill the pot with new water so the orange peel strips are covered. Bring the water to boil and drain it again. Repeat this another time for a total of three times. Drain the strips into the colander. Boiling the strips and draining them three times removes the bitterness from the peel. Place 3 cups (600 g) of sugar into the empty saucepan and pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of water. Stir the mixture and turn the heat to high so it begins to boil. The sugar should dissolve and turn into a syrup. Insert an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature of the syrup. Once the temperature is at 230 degrees F (110 degrees C), stir in the orange peel strips. Turn the heat down to a gentle bubble and let the strips simmer for about 30 minutes.  The strips should become almost clear once they've finished cooking. If you live at a high elevation, you may need a much longer cooking time. Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to scoop the orange peel strips out of the saucepan. Place them in a single layer on a wire rack and let them cool for 4 to 5 hours. They should completely dry out. For an extra crunch, you can roll the strips in some granulated sugar before you dry them. Eat the strips or garnish desserts with them as soon as they're dried. You can store the leftover candied orange...

Article in English: Wash and condition your hair with sulfate-free products. Sulfates (such as sodium laureth sulfate and sodium lauryl sulfate) are chemicals that you often find in shampoos and conditioners. They can be very damaging to not only to your hair, but to your skin, scalp and eyes as well, and can prevent you from achieving that straight, glossy look. Run through the list of ingredients on your current shampoo and conditioner products. If sulfates are listed, replace them with sulfate-free products.  Avoid products containing alcohol, which will dry out your hair and leave it crispy when you straighten it. Avoid clarifying shampoos and conditioners. These products strip moisture from the strands and can result in limp, lackluster hair. For sleek and glossy results, you'll need to start the transformation to straight hair in the shower. Look for shampoo and conditioner products advertised as "smoothing." Check for ingredients like Argan oil, coconut oil and Moroccan oil to help smooth out your natural waves or frizz. After you apply the conditioner, run a wide-tooth comb through your hair to evenly distribute the product. Leave in for a few minutes before rinsing it out. Carefully squeeze out any excess water and then pat your hair with the microfiber towel, starting at the roots and working your way down to the tips. Avoid using terry cloth towels, since their tiny fibers can cause your hair to become frizzy. Instead, use an old T-shirt or a microfiber towel to dry your hair gently and effectively.  Avoid rubbing or scrunching your hair, which encourages the curl you’re trying to tame! Dry your hair with smooth, gentle motions. Drying it roughly can cause your hair to curl up and become wavy. A sleek, straight look won’t work with a snarly mane! Use a wide-tooth plastic comb to work any tangles out of your wet hair. Start at the bottom and work your way up toward the roots, working in small sections. When finished detangling, apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner, avoiding the inch or two closest to the roots...
