Article in English: Crying will get out all of your emotions instead of keeping them bottled up inside. This is called "catharsis." Research shows that crying is a stress reliever and it actually makes you healthier.  Think about it. Let's say you're filling water up in a bathtub and your phone rings. You figure "it's taking forever to fill up, I'll just go talk to so and so for a moment and come right back." You talk on the phone for 10 minutes, forgetting all about the water you left running in the bathroom. By the time you're done on the phone and you enter the restroom, water has seeped everywhere and onto the floor. You run to turn it off, but by that time it's too late. That's what it is like if you don't cry. You will eventually explode and overflow with emotions. The best thing to do is get it all out. Don't be afraid of crying. If you feel more comfortable doing it in private, ask to be excused for a moment to use the restroom or go to your room. Find a good place for crying. Depending on how emotionally attached you were to this person, you'll probably be going to this special place specifically for crying a lot. You might think this person has no flaws and they're perfect, but that's probably not true. The old saying really is true: nobody's perfect. Try to make a list of everything you disliked about them and their flaws. The more you find about the person that you didn't like, the easier it will be to convince your heart that they were the wrong person for you.  Maybe they were rude to your best friend or they had horrible friends. Maybe they constantly put you down, damaging your self-esteem. Maybe they had a problem being honest, saying they'd do things and then never follow through. Whatever it is, write it down and when you start feeling those old feelings creeping back, read the list. Also, try to think about any negative feelings you had while interacting him/her. Negative feelings are different from bad qualities: they're how s/he made you feel, not what s/he did. Did you feel like your family friendships...

Article in English: Crystal cat litter is made of silica gel. This material is extremely absorptive and will do an excellent job of pulling residual moisture out of a water-damaged phone. You can purchase crystal cat litter at any large grocery store or pet-supply shop. Do not use any other type of cat litter. Clay-based or powdery litters may stick to your phone and turn it into a wet, clay-covered mess. Instant oatmeal is more absorptive than regular rolled oats and more much absorptive than steel-cut oats. If you already have instant oatmeal in your home cabinet, it may be the most effective substance you can use to dry your phone. Be aware that if you use oatmeal to dry your phone components, you may end up with a phone covered in small, gooey bits of oatmeal dust. You can purchase unflavored instant oatmeal at your local grocery store. Synthetic desiccant packets are those 3⁄4 in (1.9 cm) packets that come in various commercial items including shoe boxes, dried foods (like beef jerky or spices), and electronic devices. The packets are typically filled with highly absorptive silica beads which will pull moisture out of your phone. You do not need to tear open the packets. Simply pile them up on top of your phone and let them pull the moisture out.  This option will only work if you’ve been saving up silica gel packets in advance for several months. However, this isn’t a bad idea: many people own smartphones, and the chances of dropping your smartphone in water at some point are high. Or, if you haven’t been saving up silica gel packets, you can order them in bulk through major online retailers. Couscous is a type of crushed and dried wheat grain. The small, dry grains will work similarly to silica beads or instant oatmeal and pull any residual moisture out of your phone components. You can purchase couscous pearls at any grocery store or supermarket. The pearls shouldn’t get any couscous dust on your phone’s components, making this a cleaner option than instant oats. Be sure to purchase an unflavored and unseasoned variety.

Article in English: Cube and Coroplast cages are probably the most popular type of cages for indoor guinea pigs. They are also easy to construct. To make one you will need storage cube grids, corrugated plastic called coroplast, and a box-cutter. These materials can be easily found and purchased at big-box stores like Costco, Target, or Kmart. Coroplast can also be found at sign stores (it is the material used to make many lawn signs). C&C Cages can also be purchased online at guineapigcages.com. Assemble the cube grids in a rectangle of the appropriate dimensions. Two guinea pigs should get a 2 x 4 grid space, 3 should get a 2 x 5 grid space, and 4 should get a 2 x 6 grid space. Take the plastic grid connectors (these are small plastic ties) and connect the grids so that they are tight. You can make the cage even more sturdy by using cable ties, which are available at most hardware stores. You will need these dimensions in order to cut the coroplast, which will sit inside of the storage cube grids. You can measure with string if you'd like. Then, add 6 inches to the length and width to find your “cutting dimensions.” When you cut and insert the coroplast, these extra inches will give you a six-inch internal wall all the way around the cage. Use a tape measure and pen to measure and mark the coroplast. Then cut it with the box cutter. A pair of heavy duty or even regular scissors will work, as well. Remember, the piece of cut coroplast should be to the size of the enclosure plus 6 inches on all sides. Now you can start to make your enclosure walls. Measure and mark 6 inches in on all sides to create the inner dimensions. Use a box cutter or razor blade to score the coroplast along the lines you made, but don't cut all the way through. You can practice on a scrap piece first. It is also much easier to score with the grain of the coroplast rather than against it. Cut in 6 inches each way at all four corners of the coroplast to create flaps. Doing so will allow you to snap up the edges and place the coroplast snugly inside of the...

Article in English: Cubic equations take the form ax3+bx2+cx+d=0{\displaystyle ax^{3}+bx^{2}+cx+d=0}. However, the only essential requirement is x3{\displaystyle x^{3}}, which means the other elements need not be present to have a cubic equation.  If your equation does contain a constant (a d{\displaystyle d} value), you'll need to use another solving method. If a=0{\displaystyle a=0}, you do not have a cubic equation. Since your equation doesn't have a constant, every term in the equation has an x{\displaystyle x} variable in it. This means that one x{\displaystyle x} can be factored out of the equation to simplify it. Do this and re-write your equation in the form x(ax2+bx+c){\displaystyle x(ax^{2}+bx+c)}.  For example, let's say that your starting cubic equation is 3x3−2x2+14x=0{\displaystyle 3x^{3}-2x^{2}+14x=0}  Factoring a single x{\displaystyle x} out of this equation, you get x(3x2−2x+14)=0{\displaystyle x(3x^{2}-2x+14)=0} In many cases, you will be able to factor the quadratic equation (ax2+bx+c{\displaystyle ax^{2}+bx+c}) that results when you factor the x{\displaystyle x} out. For example, if you are given x3+5x2−14x=0{\displaystyle x^{3}+5x^{2}-14x=0}, then you can do the following:  Factor out the x{\displaystyle x}: x(x2+5x−14)=0{\displaystyle x(x^{2}+5x-14)=0}  Factor the quadratic in parentheses: x(x+7)(x−2)=0{\displaystyle x(x+7)(x-2)=0}  Set each of these factors equal to0{\displaystyle 0}. Your solutions are x=0,x=−7,x=2{\displaystyle x=0,x=-7,x=2}. You can find the values for which this quadratic equation equals 0{\displaystyle 0} by plugging a{\displaystyle a}, b{\displaystyle b}, and c{\displaystyle c} into the quadratic formula (−b±b2−4ac2a{\displaystyle {\frac {-b\pm {\sqrt {b^{2}-4ac}}}{2a}}}). Do this to find two of the answers to your cubic equation.  In the example, plug your a{\displaystyle a}, b{\displaystyle b}, and c{\displaystyle c} values (3{\displaystyle 3}, −2{\displaystyle -2}, and 14{\displaystyle 14}, respectively) into the quadratic equation as follows:  −b±b2−4ac2a{\displaystyle {\frac...

Article in English: Cuddling is a clear indicator that your parakeet likes you and wants to bond with you. If your bird gently nuzzles against your hand, climbs around on your body, grooms you, and rubs against your neck, you will know that your parakeet likes you and feels safe around you. We typically think of a bird's wings as being an instrument of flight, but many birds, including parakeets, use their wings as a sort of body language. If your parakeet is flapping his wings, which may give the appearance of trying to fly in place, it is a good sign of your relationship with your bird. Wing flapping is one way parakeets display happiness around humans. Just as your parakeet's wings can be an indication of happiness, so too can his tail feathers. When a bird wags its tail (similar to a dog's tail), it usually means that your bird is happy to see you - though it can also indicate that your bird is about to relieve himself. Similarly, flipping the tail up and down is generally considered an indication of happiness, and can be taken as a sign that your bird likes you. The way your parakeet carries himself around you can tell you a lot about how he feels in your presence. Taking his body posture, along with individual pieces of body language like wing and tail fluctuations, can help you get a better picture of your bird's level of comfort around you.  A bird in a relaxed, non-rigid posture is typically happy and comfortable around his human.  A bird that "bows" his head - crouching down with his head "pointed" toward his human - is comfortable around that person and may be requesting a head scratching or petting.  Any kind of rigid body posture, usually accompanied by ruffled feathers and a restless, side-to-side movement, typically indicates discomfort, displeasure, or a lack of trust around a human. If your bird behaves in this manner, it's best to give him space. He either has not yet gotten comfortable around you or does not like something that you are doing. Find out what you are doing wrong and avoid that trigger.

Article in English: Cufflinks are most commonly worn with French cuff (also known as double cuff) dress shirts. This sort of shirt has extra long cuffs that fold back on the cuff material, creating layers. French cuffs don’t have buttons on the sides to connect the cuff. Instead, there are small holes on each side of the cuff, where cufflinks are added. Wearing cufflinks with this shirt means that the cufflink will be securing four layers of shirt fabric. This is a dressier look, and the most classic style of shirt to wear with cufflinks. Cufflinks can also be worn with single cuff shirts, the variety typically found at department stores. Wearing cufflinks with this style of shirt is a more casual look.

Article in English: Cults are singular. If you're going to be a full-fledged member, or even a leader, in a cult of Star Trek, you can't be messing around watching other sci-fi, or doing things that aren't in line with the noble tenants of Trek. Make sure that you and everyone else in the group realigns your priorities to fall in line with the singular-minded concepts of the cult. Often, cults live together, communally. Consider moving into a place and giving it a name, something like, "The Enterprise." This will allow everyone to grow and develop the common idea together. One way to really get people to fall into your cult head-first is to make your idea seem like the only way of answering the problems of the world. You're not requiring simple excitement about Star Trek here, you're talking about total devotion to the transcendent power of James Kirk and Co. That means you've got to present it as the one true way. Often, this is where cults get a little manipulative. Try to have healthy discussions and debates, just be good at presenting your ideas to the group. If other people think Star Wars has equally good merits, you need to be well-versed on the anarchy associated with a Star Wars influenced worldview. Preach it and believe it. Keep doing what you do. How you choose to let your idea change your life and the lives of others for the better will largely depend on your concept. At what point does the cult become more serious than watching re-runs of Trek and eating Cheetos? When does positive change start to occur? Maybe you start writing all your congressmen to take the tenants of Star Trek more seriously, devoting resources and time to science and exploration, taking the equality of gender, race, species, and class more seriously, and even abandoning the ancient Earth concept of "greed." Let your group form obvious, local, and immediate changes for the good in your community. Hold weekly free breakfasts with accompanying Star Trek viewing parties, or consider holding equality workshops and giving talks in full Federation...

Article in English: Cunning people perceive things that others miss. They see life’s hidden machinery - the real motives that drive interactions, rather than the stated motives. The first, most important step to seeing things as they actually are is to always get as much information as possible before making your decisions. This can be as simple as taking the time to look around before dropping an anonymous love note into someone’s locker so that you don’t get spotted or as complex and involved as doing hours of research on the person you’re about to interview so that you can surprise him with particularly biting questions. When approaching all major decisions, keep your eyes peeled and have a voracious thirst for more information. You can never be too well-informed. Cunning people are renowned for their ability to see through others’ facades. Almost everyone tells white lies on a daily basis - it’s perfectly natural. A cunning person sees a person’s true intentions - he does this because he’s able to “read” people and also because he’s done his homework (see above.) Never assume someone’s telling you the truth until you have supporting evidence. However, it's also not wise to instantly assume everyone is lying. Use the information available to you to make your best guess at someone’s true motivation. Try to build your ability to read others’ faces. Most people are good liars, but not great ones. With practice, you may find that you’re able to notice when the emotion on a person’s face doesn’t match with what he or she is saying.    Cunning people never balk at the prospect of closely scrutinizing people and things for small details that may be manipulated for their benefit. Try to be a stickler for details, within reason. For instance, read every line of your contract rather than glossing over the entire thing. If you pay attention to life’s details, you’ll find yourself better-equipped to exploit opportunities when they present themselves. Paying attention to details isn’t only useful for grim, serious purposes. If you’re in a...

Article in English: Curing salmon brings out the best in its fishy flavor, and little subtleties like the salmon's fat content and freshness will stand out after the curing process. The fresher and fattier the salmon, the better your gravlax will taste, so choose the highest quality salmon possible.  Check the salmon's labeling. Look for sustainably-sourced salmon that was not previously frozen. It's easier to find this while salmon is in season during the summer months. Salmon that has been frozen and thawed will not taste as good after curing. To make enough for eight servings, get a two-pound salmon filet with the skin still attached. The flesh should be bright orangish-pink and firm. The skin should look bright and shiny, not spotted or damage. Buy the salmon the same day you're planning to start the curing process, if possible. Store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it. It's increasingly popular to rub alcohol over the fish before coating it in a cure. Using vodka, bourbon, rye or another alcohol is not traditional when it comes to the lox you'd get in a deli for your bagel, but it can add a lot of depth during the curing process. If you wish to use alcohol, you'll only need a few tablespoons, enough to rub over the entire filet before you coat it in the cure.

Article in English: Curiosity is a great tool for overcoming a judgemental attitude. When you would normally think judgemental thoughts, instead explore your curiosity about something you don’t understand. Let yourself see possibility instead of something wrong or different. For example, you may see someone cut the line at the lunch counter. Instead of judging them to be a rude person, consider if they might have a pressing appointment or have a health issue. Actively seek out new experiences that are different from the things you normally do. At first this may be scary, but it can also be a lot of fun! Invite a few friends to join you as you try new things. Here are some ways to step out of your comfort zone:  Use a different mode of transportation to get to work. Try a cuisine that you’ve never sampled. See a movie with subtitles. Go to a religious service outside of your belief system. Do something that scares you. Stand on top of a tall building, go mountain climbing, or eat raw fish. Making an effort to hang out with people who are different from you in many ways can help open up your mind. Whether your friends are different because of their race, culture, religion, interests, class, ideas, hobbies, careers, or whatever else, being around people who come from a variety of backgrounds and have a variety of perspectives can help you have a better sense of all of the ideas that are out in the world.  You don't have to recruit friends of a variety of backgrounds, but you should make an effort to get to know more people who aren't exactly like you. You'll only grow from the experience. Befriending someone you always thought you had nothing in common with can help you be more understanding and open-minded. Let your friends know that you’re interested in attending events with them, if they’d like to invite you. Say, “It’s so cool that your family moved here from Japan. I’m really interested in Japanese culture, so I’d love it if you let me know when public events are happening.” Choose an activity that you would normally think was...

Article in English: Curiosity is a sign of intelligence. It also indicates that you are eager to learn and improve. Work on developing this trait in yourself by simply making an effort to learn as much as possible. Don’t limit yourself to just focusing on your own role.  Say to your boss, “I know I’m not on that team, but would it be okay if I sit in on the marketing meeting today? I’m really interested to know more about our upcoming strategy.” Keep up on new trends and innovations in your field by reading trade publications and following industry leaders. Let your boss know that you are actively looking for ways to improve your performance. Make it a point to regularly ask for feedback. Indicate that you’re not just looking for a pat on the back. Try saying, “I know you were happy with the report I turned in last week. But were there any suggestions you have? I’d love to do an even better job next time.” Your boss will appreciate it if you show that you are able to think outside of the box. When they ask for ideas in a meeting, don’t be afraid to speak up and suggest trying something new.  You might say, “Let’s look into increasing our online presence. I know we’re a traditional firm, but more and more people are using social media for business purposes.” Don't take offense if your boss doesn't take all of your suggestions. Notice what sorts of ideas they respond to, and try to offer better ideas in the future. If you have a good relationship with your boss, it’s likely that they’ve done a few favors for you. Make sure to offer a sincere thank you when it feels right. For example, if they let you duck out of a meeting early to take your mom to the doctor, let them know that you appreciate the kindness. You don't have to go overboard with your thanks. A simple "I really appreciate your flexibility" will likely be appropriate. You can send an email or stop by their office to say this in person. Nothing is less impressive than lying. Make sure to demonstrate that you are a truthful, trustworthy person. Be upfront with your boss...

Article in English: Curl up and get some sleep immediately following your surgery, and get lots of rest for the next one to two days, depending on your dentist or oral surgeon’s orders. Avoid strenuous activity for at least a week.  If you experience persistent bleeding the day of surgery, keep your head and upper body elevated with several pillows while you’re resting in order to prevent choking. Be careful not to sleep on the extraction site, as it will create heat over the area. If your oral surgeon prescribed or recommended medication, use it as directed. If you were not prescribed medication, you can use ibuprofen or another over-the-counter pain medication. Call your surgeon if you experience severe pain and consult with them about another medication option or dosage. Apply ice to manage pain, swelling, and bruising. Swelling will reach its peak within 2-3 days of surgery, but regularly using ice packs immediately after extraction can help keep it at a minimum. Apply a zip-lock bag of ice or ice pack to your face where surgery occurred. Keep the ice on for 20 minutes, then take it off for 20 minutes. Oozing bleeding from the surgical site is one of the most uncomfortable parts of wisdom tooth removal. Keep gauze in to protect the surgical site and change it out regularly. Firmly bite the gauze to help control bleeding, but don’t bite so hard that it causes any pain.   Keep some sterile gauze on your tooth by biting on it over the extraction site. If bleeding persists, try biting down on a moistened, cool tea bag: tannic acid in the tea will help to clot blood. Avoid excessive or forceful spitting or coughing, as this will dislodge blood clots. Give your dentist or oral surgeon a call if bleeding persists for more than a day. Go for creamy soups, smooth yogurts, custard, smoothies, milkshakes, and other nutrient-rich choices that are easy to drink. Avoid foods and beverages that are too hot or too cold. Also stay away from smoothies or purées that contain strawberries or other fruits with small seeds. These can get stuck in...

Article in English: Curls are notoriously difficult to cut. When it's done the wrong way, you can end up with a style that just doesn't look right with your hair texture. Do some research to find a stylist who's experienced in cutting curly hair. Look online for reviews, or ask your curly-haired friends for a recommendation.  Tell the stylist you want to avoid triangle hair, and see what he or she says. Anyone experienced in cutting curly hair knows what this means. Triangle hair is when the heavy curls grow in the shape of a triangular helmet. A good stylist will be able to cut the curls in such a way that they have better shape and movement. If a stylist wants to "thin" your hair with thinning shears, that's a red flag. Thinning shears can cause curly hair to frizz. Using a full blast of heat to dry curls will make your hair texture drier and coarser over time. It's better to let your curls air dry or diffuse on a low setting so your hair retains its bounce and stays hydrated. Finger-comb your curls section by section, then let them air dry so they stay bouncy and sleek. If you're concerned about getting more volume near your roots, use small clips to lift up your hair near your scalp. The hair will dry with a little more lift than it otherwise would.

Article in English: Curly hair is different from straight hair, and requires special care. People with wavy hair can also use this method. If you have kinky or textured hair, however, you might want to try this one. Here's what you'll need:  Hairdryer Diffuser attachment Wide-tooth comb Leave-in conditioner Gel or styling cream (optional) Hair serum or oil Start from the ends first, and work your way up to the roots in small chunks. Use a wide-tooth comb. You want to do this while your hair is still soaking-wet. Gently squeeze the excess water out of your hair when you are done. Use your fingers or a wide-toothed comb to spread the gel through your hair. Start from the roots and work your way down towards the ends. Once you've applied the gel, give your curls a little shake; this will help reshape them. You don't have to do this, but the gel will help give your curls some shape and structure. The diffuser will help distribute the heat and keep your hair from getting too frizzy. It will also help the curls keep their shape. If your hairdryer has a speed setting, use the medium setting. Try not to blow dry the ends of your hair. They tend to be the driest part, so the less heat you use on them, the better. Start with a pea-sized amount. Comb it through your hair using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb if you want it to be straight, or distribute it with your fingers and scrunch your hair with your hands to maintain your curls. Start from your hairline, and work your way back. Apply a pea-sized amount of serum or oil to hair, starting from hairline.  If you used gel and your hair is too clumpy, finger comb your hair a little until the clumps break up. If you want to make your hair appear more full, then gently massage your scalp using your fingers.

Article in English: Current research shows that the quickest way to improve cardiovascular fitness is to combine large volumes of moderate intensity distance training with less frequent use of high intensity interval training (HIIT) and high intensity continuous exercise, all of which target different aspects of fitness. In this form of training, you should work out at a steady pace that keeps your heart rate at 60-75% of max for the duration of the workout. This form of exercise is most effective at increasing the amount of blood your heart can pump with each beat, a key factor in improving cardiovascular fitness.  If in poor shape, start with 10-15 minutes of moderate intensity distance work 3 times a week, and add a minute to two minutes a week until you are exercising in 30 minute intervals. For fit individuals, a minimum of 30 minutes, 3 times a week is necessary to improve cardiovascular fitness. One of the big advantages of HIIT workouts is that they are over more quickly. Studies show that HIIT is more effective than moderate intensity training at lowering blood pressure, increasing lactate threshold (the intensity of exercise at which there is an abrupt increase in blood lactate levels) and increasing peak oxygen intake (the amount of oxygen you can consume while working out). For HIIT, make sure you have warmed up, then perform high intensity intervals at 85-95% of your max heart rate.  Do not engage in HIIT more than 2 days a week. Only begin HIIT after you have established a good base of cardiovascular fitness. You should be able to perform 30 minutes of moderate intensity distance work. Start with 4 short intervals of 60 to 90 seconds at 85-95% HRmax, with 1 to 2 minutes of active recovery at 60-70% HRmax in between. For example, if running, you would alternate a fast run with a slow jog.  Work up to four 4 minute intervals with 3 minutes of active recovery. When working out at high rates, your body does not absorb enough oxygen for energy to be produced by the normal pathway. The result of low-oxygen energy...

Article in English: Curry rice is a versatile dish that lends itself to many recipe variations. For instance, it's not difficult to add plenty of vegetables to make something resembling a stir fry. Simply chop the recipes and add them to the "Basic" recipe above with the onions and garlic. Then, proceed with the rest of the recipe as normal. Note that "hard" vegetables (carrots, broccoli, etc.) require a little more cooking time, so you may want to add them a few minutes before the onions, garlic, etc. In the ingredients list above, tomato, eggplant, and okra are recommended because they taste great with curry rice and cook quickly. You can use others, however — don't be afraid to get creative. Paprika is an excellent choice for this dish — its smokey, spicy flavor complements the curry naturally. Try adding a teaspoon or two with the curry powder to blend the two seasonings together. Alternatively, use paprika for its rich red color by sprinkling it over the finished rice. Coconut milk is a common ingredient in many curries for its smooth, sweet flavor. Try substituting half of the water for coconut milk when you add the liquid to your rice to get a strong coconut flavor. If you want a more subtle flavor or a dish that's less rich, substitute only a quarter of the water for coconut milk. Many rice dishes from the Middle East and Central Asia use almonds and raisins. Cashew halves sometimes substitute for almond slivers. If you're not used to the combination, it can seem a little unusual, but it's delicious to palates that are accustomed to it. To add these flavors to your dish:  Add the raisins to the rice mixture right before you add the water and start to boil. Stir in the almond slivers right before you serve. The recipes in this article aren't especially spicy. If you want something with a little more "kick," simply add cayenne or red pepper flakes to taste. Stir these spicy ingredients into the mixture with the curry powder to give the ingredients a satisfying level of heat. If you accidentally add too much heat, try...

Article in English: Customers are happier when they have online resources to guide them through their user experience. This will also free up your phone lines and email inboxes from unnecessary communications. You and your customer will save time with the help of a well-organized, thorough FAQs section. Your FAQs might address anything from how you conduct business to specific technical issues pertaining to a product you sell. Be sure that you write clear, concise, and jargon-free answers to each FAQ. The FAQs you choose will depend on the business you run, but some sample FAQs might include things like:  What forms of identification do I need to bring in in order to purchase this product? What is the difference between the regular service plan and the premium service plan? Are there wholesale options for this product? How do I operate this software package on a PC? Make sure that your online presence is as well-organized and inviting as your in-store experience. Any important information that you would advertise in your store should also be clearly marked online. Your hours of operation, contact information, address, and other details should be accurately posted on your company website. Be sure that there are no discrepancies between what you tell your customers in-person or over the phone and what you present on the internet. Make sure you have a service presence online and in person, on Facebook and on Twitter. The more venues your company participates in, the more likely your customer will be able to find you and get her questions answered. Have designated customer service representatives monitor your social media to make sure frustrated customers are provided with solutions. If you have the bandwidth and personnel, you can also monitor a service support forum online. This will allow customers to help each other troubleshoot and will also give you important feedback on how you can improve.

Article in English: Customers are more likely to buy from you when your prices are straightforward and easy to spot.  If you sell at craft fairs or through a physical storefront, the prices should be marked in front of the product and within the customer's direct line of sight. Most customers will not stop to inquire about the price of an item. Similarly, individual pieces of embroidery sold online should be marked clearly since many customers will not attempt to contact you to inquire about the price. If you sell embroidery that customers must order in advance, provide a price sheet that clearly lists the cost of base products, personalization, and so on. Make this price sheet easy to find, and stick with the prices you list to earn credibility. Offer prospective customers a range of options that may suit their price range better.  For example, you could sell an elaborately embroidered piece made with the best materials at your highest price. Include elements of that design and use slightly lower quality materials to create something similar that can be sold at a much lower price. Sell the products simultaneously so that someone who cannot afford the higher priced product may consider the similar, lower priced product. If someone orders embroidery from you but cannot afford the price you quote, offer to reduce the price by reducing the cost. Let them know how much the price would drop if you used fewer colors, used fewer stitches, or made the embroidered section smaller. Special deals can be a good way to attract attention from new customers while renewing the interest of past customers, but they should not be relied upon.  Special sales should only be used on a short-term basis. This includes buy-one-get-one offers and promotional gifts. Loyalty incentives should be more long-term. Examples include loyalty cards, referral discounts, and returning customer discounts. You can also offer permanent discounts on quantity. For instance, if the price of one embroidered bag is $25, the cost of three might only be $60, putting the...

Четко указывайте цену. Предлагайте варианты. Внимательно, но осторожно относитесь к скидкам и специальным предложениям. Будьте уверены в себе.


Article in English: Customers love a good deal, and you may be able to build customer loyalty by offering gift cards, reward cards, coupons, frequent-shopper points, or discounts for referrals. All of these will give your customers incentive to continue patronizing your business.  Consider offering incentives especially during slower seasons or to promote a new product or service. It's important that your customers (and potential customers) know about your incentives and rewards. Include them in your advertising strategy and budget.  For example, if you want to start a rewards program at your bakery, advertise it on your website, display fliers explaining the program in easy-to-see places in the store, and have your employees remind patrons about the program. The point of an incentives program is to encourage customers to conduct repeat business with you and to attract new customers as well. If your program is complicated or has lots of restrictions, you won't see the results you were hoping for.   Customers will be less likely to use your incentives program if they have to fill out long forms or give out too much personal information. You'll probably have better luck with the rewards program at your bakery, for example, if you just pass out cards that customers can keep in their wallets. Some business experts recommend using “artificial advancement,” which lets the customer feel s/he is making real progress in earning benefits.   For example, you can have a “buy eight pastries, get one free” card at your bakery. Then, instead of printing cards with eight places for stamps, print cards with ten spaces, and have the first two already stamped.   If you do this, it's more likely that customers will participate in and complete the program, which means that you will sell more pastries! Customers seem to prefer and participate more often in rewards programs that feature multiple levels. They seem to like it if there are levels "below" them.  For example, they like finding themselves on the "gold" or "platinum" level where they might...

Article in English: Cut 1 yard (91 cm) of duck cloth or canvas into 10-inch (25-cm) wide sections. The lining will be formed from three pieces of 10-inch (25-cm) wide strips.  Wrap the first section along the wearer's back. Attach two additional sections to the first at the spots on the right and left where a side seam would usually appear. Bring these two side sections together, bringing them around the front until each piece meets the side seam on the opposing side. Pin everything in place. Align the top edge of the lining to the inside top of the waistband and sew in place.  Do an overlap stitch along the top inside of the apron to tack the lining to the kilt apron. Only the top needs to be attached. You do not need to sew the bottom of the lining to the outer apron. Note that the inside of the waistband will also be sewn under the lining, securing it in place. Fold the bottom edge of the lining under and sew a straight stitch along the material, hemming it in place. Do not sew it to the outer apron. You could also use anti-fraying adhesive liquid if you do not want to stitch the hem closed.

Article in English: Cut a hole through one of the eyes or indentations of the coconut.  A power hand drill is one of the easiest ways to cut a hole into the coconut, but if you do not have one, you could also use a corkscrew, screwdriver, or metallic skewer, instead. Worst case scenario, you can use a hammer and a nail. Pound the nail into the coconut using the hammer. Then, using the back end of the hammer to lift the nail back out, creating a hole. Create your hole in one of the three "eyes" of the coconut. These spots are the thinnest spot on the outer shell and the easiest to drill through. It may help to hold the coconut on a non-slip surface, like a cutting board or kitchen towel, to prevent it from slipping around as you attempt to drill through it. Tip the coconut upside-down so that the liquid in the center drains out. Coconut water can be used for cooking purposes or served with ice as a beverage, but if you have no plans for the coconut water, simply discard it by pouring the water down the drain. Place the coconut in a large plastic bag or wrap it securely in a kitchen towel. Strike the coconut through the bag or towel using a wooden rolling pin or hammer until it breaks in two.  For best results, place the coconut on a cement floor, sidewalk, or other equally hard surface. Do not use a kitchen counter since you may accidentally damage the counter as you strike the coconut. Use as much force as possible to strike the coconut in the direct middle. Some will open quickly, while others may take more effort. You could also open the coconut by striking its center on a sharp rock or by sawing it in half with a hand saw. If using a saw, saw down the center seam that passes in between the eyes of the coconut. Use a standard butter knife or small paring knife to cut the white meat away from the hard outer shell.  Cut through the meat by making a cut from the inside all the way through to the shell. Use your fingers or the tip of the knife to pry the meat off the shell in chunks. To make the process easier, cut the meat into...

Article in English: Cut a lemon in half, and use a lemon juicer to squeeze the juice. Use a strainer placed over your glass to catch any pulp and seeds. Discard the pulp and seeds when you are done. This method makes a great science experiment because the acid in the lemon juice reacts with the baking soda and makes it fizz. You should now have 1 part water and 1 part lemon juice in your glass. Start with 1 teaspoon of sugar. Stir it to help it dissolve and give your drink a taste. If it is not sweet enough, add another teaspoon of sugar. Now, all you've got to do is add the fizz!  If you have simple syrup, you can use that instead. It will mix in a lot easier! Avoid adding too much sugar, or it won't dissolve. If you start to see little grains at the bottom of your glass, you are using too much! If this is for a science experiment, consider adding it in ½ teaspoon at a time so that you can see the reaction. You can drink it as is or add some ice to it. As an optional step, you can add a few mint leaves to the beverage. Enjoy!

Alternatively, you can poke a hole in the top center of the heart and string a ribbon or twine through it. Tie a knot in the two ends of the ribbon and you will have a nice handle or string from which to hang the heart. If you poke holes you can also add small grommets to make the heart look more polished, although this is not necessary.

Fine mesh strainers are optimal for this project, but the cheesecloth should sufficiently trap any solids even if you need to use a wider-gap plastic colander instead. If you don't have cheesecloth, consider using large sheets of filter paper or clean (i.e. never previously used) painters' straining bags.

Article in English: Cut a rectangle around your traced blade to separate it from the main slab. You will need a stiffer hacksaw for thicker steel. This rectangle is what you will grind down to form the profile of the blade. Put the rough cut blade into a vise and grind away excess metal. Follow the guidelines to form the profile. Use the grinder to finalize the shape of the blade. Gently grind the edge into a slope with the flap wheel. Make sure that the slope does not go past the middle of the blade. Make this slope on each side of the blade. Doing this forms the actual edge of the blade. Go slowly during this step, as grinding too much can ruin the blade, forcing you to start over. Use a drill bit that is the same size as the rivets that you intend to use. Put the holes in the tang. Depending on the size of the blade, you may need a varying number of holes. Sand the blade using successively finer grits of sandpaper, up to 220 grit. Be sure to take the time to sand out any scratches. Sand all areas of the blade. This will increase its luster and quality.  Sand in opposite directions each time you change grits. You can use a file to add ridges to the inside near the handle. Trace a pattern and file the metal away.

Article in English: Cut a section of lemon or lime peel slightly larger than the wart and tape it over with an adhesive bandage or tape. Refresh the peel every day or so and keep the wart covered for as long as possible. After about a week or so, the entire wart will come out completely. Tape crushed, fresh basil to your wart using waterproof first-aid tape. Do this daily for up to a week. The virus-killing compound in the basil leaf will kill your wart. Do this twice a day for at least several weeks. Warts should start peeling off in one or two weeks, but take the garlic until the wart disappears. You can also cover the wart with garlic oil once or twice daily for a month. Garlic, sweet potatoes, whole-grain breads, sunflower seeds and rice are all examples of this. Finely grate a carrot and add enough olive oil to it to make a paste. Dab the paste on your wart twice daily for 30 minutes. Do this for two to three weeks. Mash up a fresh fig and place some on your wart for 30 minutes. Do this daily for two to three weeks. Squeeze lemon juice on your wart, then cover it with fresh, chopped onions. Do this for 30 minutes once a day for two to three weeks. Soak your wart in pineapple juice. It has a dissolving enzyme. The potassium may help speed the disappearance of the wart. Cut out a section of the peel so it's slightly smaller than the tape you'll be using. Rub the inside of a banana peel onto the wart and then secure with duct tape. Keep it on the wart for a day before removing. Repeat until wart is fully removed. Curcumin is a turmeric extract that can be found in health food stores. Combine curcumin, papaya extract (Papain. It may have to be purchased in pill form and crushed into powder), and vitamin E oil.  Dab the wart and surrounding area with alcoholic extract of golden seal. This will stimulate local immune activity. Take a sharp needle or pin and dip it into the curcumin paste. Press the needle as deep into the wart as possible. Continue injecting more of the paste into the wart, poking several holes if necessary....

Article in English: Cut an avocado in half, then remove the pit. Scoop the flesh out with a spoon and place it into a bowl. Avocado is great in this mask because it contains fats and oils that help repair dry, brittle hair. Plan on needing ½ of an avocado for fine/short hair, a full avocado for longer/thicker hair, and more than 1 avocado for very long/thick/dry hair. You will need 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of olive oil and 2 tablespoons (45 grams) of honey. Olive oil and honey are both hydrating. While olive oil helps protect your hair against further damage, honey helps make it stronger. You can leave the essential oil out if you want to, but it will help give the mask a nice fragrance. It is also great for treating dandruff. You can do this using a stand mixer or a handheld mixer. Keep blending until the mask is light in color and smooth in texture. Get your hair wet first, then squeeze out the excess water. Apply the mask to your hair, starting from the ends. You can even massage the mask into your hair, if you want to. Don’t apply the mixture to your roots if your hair is fine. Stop the application a few inches away from the roots. Pull your hair up into a loose bun first, then cover it with a shower cap. Blow dry your hair for 15 minutes. If it is a warm, sunny day, you can sit out in the sun for 30 to 45 minutes instead. Rinse the mask out with lukewarm water first. Once your hair is clean, wash it with shampoo and conditioner as you normally would. You can repeat this treatment once per week, but no more than that.

Article in English: Cut an avocado in half. Cover and refrigerate the half containing the pit. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh from the remaining half. Avocado is full of healthy fats that plump and condition your hair. They also help make your hair soft and shiny. You will only need about ½ of an avocado for fine/short hair, a full avocado for longer/thicker hair, and you may need more than 1 avocado for very long/thick/dry hair. It is best to do this with a blender or food processor; a fork won't give you the same smoothness. If you need to, add ½ tablespoon (7.5 milliliters) of water to help loosen the avocado up. Eggs contain protein, which helps make hair stronger and repair split ends. They also help make your hair appear thicker and shinier. Olive oil, on the other hand, contains fatty acids, which help make dry hair smooth. It also contains vitamin E, which can help stimulate hair growth. Pulse the blender on high until the avocado, egg, and olive oil are all mixed together. You want the color and texture to be consistent, with no streaks or swirls. If you want to, you can transfer the mask into a small bowl to make it easier to use in the shower. This mask is very rich, so it is important to have a clean scalp. Wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo, making sure to massage it into your scalp. Rinse the shampoo out and squeeze the excess water from your hair. Leave your hair damp. Scoop up some of the mask, and massage it into the ends of your hair and work towards your scalp. Keep applying the mixture as needed to cover your strands. You may also apply the hair mask to your scalp if you have a dry scalp. However, do not apply the mixture to your roots if your hair is fine. This will weigh your hair down. Stop the application a few inches away from your roots. If you can you, you can cover your hair with a shower cap, and wash the rest of your body. It is very important to use tepid or cool water, otherwise you risk cooking the egg in the mask. Once your hair is clean, follow up with your usual shampooing regimen....

Article in English: Cut clean cotton cloth into squares that are roughly 5 inches (12.7 cm) along each side.  Cotton works well because it is a natural fiber and relatively breathable. Avoid fabrics with fibers that are spaced too tightly together. Also avoid synthetic fabrics. You can use a rag or old piece of cloth for this, but make sure that the material you use is clean. Fill a small spray bottle with undiluted distilled white vinegar. Spray both sides of each square until moist to the touch.  Let dry slightly. The cloth can be moist, but it should not be dripping wet by the time you add it to the dryer. The vinegar is the only element in this fabric softener formula that lends itself to actually softening your clothes. It may not be as strong as a liquid fabric softener using vinegar, but some of the effects should still remain. Drop 3 to 5 drops of your favorite essential oil onto a cloth square. Spread the drops out so that they seep into the fibers of the entire square. The essential oil will give your clothes a pleasant yet mild fragrance. You can technically use this method without the use of essential oils, but since the softening effects are less powerful than a liquid fabric softener alternative, it would make more sense to take advantage of the deodorizing and re-scenting abilities of this method. Place the scented fabric softener sheet directly into your dryer as you prepare to dry a load of clothes. Run a standard drying cycle. You do not need to do anything special from this point on. Each dryer sheet can be used for two or three loads, but you may need to refresh the scent by adding 3 drops or more of the essential oil before use. Refresh the softening properties by giving the sheet another quick spray of vinegar.

Article in English: Cut down on the amount of coffee, tea, soda, and alcoholic beverages you drink every week. Carbonation and caffeine can irritate the bladder, worsening urinary symptoms.  Try to drink no more than 200 milligrams of caffeine daily—about the amount in 2 cups of coffee. That’s about half the maximum amount for a healthy adult.  Drink no more than 4 alcoholic drinks in a given day or 14 drinks in a given week. It’s best to reduce your alcohol consumption as much as possible. Avoid drinking excess liquid in the evenings before you go to sleep. Going to bed with an empty bladder can help you avoid urinary discomfort and frequent urges overnight.  Increase your fluid intake earlier in the day to make sure you are drinking enough overall. Men should aim to drink 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluid a day.  If you exercise strenuously or the weather is very hot, increase your fluid intake accordingly. Eat more fiber-rich foods, such as fruit with the skin on, vegetables, lentils, nuts, and beans, to ward off constipation. Constipation can worsen enlarged prostate symptoms and put additional pressure on your bladder.  Fiber-rich fruits and vegetables include broccoli, apples, pears, carrots, Swiss chard, raspberries, and strawberries.  Men should get 30–38 grams (1.1–1.3 oz) of fiber per day depending on their age. While fiber supplements are safe, they can cause constipation. Aim to get your fiber from your diet rather than supplements whenever possible. Wait about 30 seconds after you’ve finished urinating before trying to urinate again. Avoid straining or pushing. This can help you empty your bladder fully and reduce the frequency of UTIs. Talk to your doctor if you notice urinary troubles after starting another medication for an unrelated condition. Certain decongestants and antidepressants may aggravate urinary symptoms or cause prostate enlargement.  Your doctor can advise if there is a different medication you should try that would manage your condition without causing prostate problems. Avoid stopping any prescribed...

Reduce the heat and hollow out holes in the vegetables for the eggs. Crack an egg or two into the holes. Cover the pan and let cook. The eggs will be steamed, which takes about 5 minutes. Keep a check on the eggs until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a spatula to remove the egg and vegetable dish from the pan and place on a plate. Sprinkle with seasoning if you wish. You can also sprinkle a light amount of cheese or bacon into the vegetables while you are cooking, or add cheese and bacon on top. If you are doing this, make sure to choose high quality, nitrate-free, center cut bacon and all natural cheese.

Article in English: Cut into the avocado carefully, so as not to injure the pit, which is in the fruit's center. You can do this by scoring the skin/fruit about ½ an inch (1.3 cm) deep all the way around the outside, and then twisting the two halves in opposite directions to open it. Carefully remove the pit and set it aside. So that you don’t waste the fruit, use the avocado meat to create the tasty dip/topping known as guacamole.

Article in English: Cut it in half, loosen the segments, and eat it straight out of the peel with a spoon.  When you cut the ugli fruit open, the inside should look similar to that of an orange, but the fruit should appear slightly fleshier than an orange would. Unlike grapefruit, the ugli fruit is sweet enough on its own and does not need any added sugar. If you do add sugar to the fruit, you may even find it too sweet. An ugli fruit can be enjoyed in this manner as a simple, light breakfast. If you want to use the fruit for a light yet exotic lunch or dessert, you can cut it in half and drizzle it with a bit of sherry or kirsch before enjoying it. Peel the skin off the ugli fruit and separate it into sections, like you might expect to do with a tangerine. The segments can be eaten one by one.  The skin is thick yet loose and puffy, so you should be able to remove it with your fingers. There are seldom any seeds, so you should not have to worry about removing seeds before enjoying the fruit. The segments inside the fruit are also easy to separate, and you should be able to separate those with your fingers, as well.

Article in English: Cut lines through the ivy along the ground in order to divide it into large sections. This will make it much easier to remove the ivy from the ground. Pull the sections apart from one another as you cut. Work carefully around plants and saplings you want to keep. If you're working on a hill, cut vertical lines from the top of the hill to the bottom to create sections that you can roll downhill. Lift the edge of one section of ivy and roll it forward on top of itself. Keep rolling the ivy forward until the entire section has been rolled up into a big log of ivy. Move the log to a separate area and continue rolling up sections until you've cleared the area. Mulching the ivy rolls is the best way to dispose of them and ensure they won't take root in the area again. English ivy is difficult to kill with herbicides alone because the plant's leaves contain a waxy barrier that is difficult for products to penetrate. Therefore, the most effective method is to combine manual removal with the use of a herbicide. Glyphosate is the chemical that works most effectively to kill English ivy.  Spray the area of ivy you wish to kill, but be careful the glyphosate doesn't reach other plants you want to keep. Herbicides are slow-acting, and must be reapplied every six weeks or so. If you have a patch of ivy you want to preserve, but you'd like to prevent it from spreading, you can use mulch to keep it contained. Simply cover the border of the ivy you want to keep with several inches (about 7 to 8 inches) of shredded or wood chip mulch. You will need to give this method some time; leave the mulch on the ivy for at least 2 seasons. You may need to add new mulch one or more times during a growing season. Another option is to trim the ivy back to contain it. Use a weed eater or edging tool to cut the vines along the border.

Article in English: Cut long triangles out of magazines, coloured construction paper, wallpaper, etc. The base of the triangle will be the width of the bead and the longer the triangle is, the fatter the bead will become. The slender 1-inch (2.5cm) beads used in this method are made from 1-inch by 4-inch (2.5cm x 10cm) triangles, but 1/2-inch by 8-inch (1.27cm x 20cm) triangles would create fat 1/2-inch (1.27cm) beads. Cut accordingly.. Turn the triangle design-side down and apply a bit of glue to the pointy end. A glue stick or a tiny bit of liquid glue will do. Starting at the wide end, roll the triangle around itself using a dowel, toothpick, or bamboo skewer. For a symmetrical spiral, keep the triangle centered as you roll; for a more free-form look, allow the triangle to become slightly off-centered. Roll tightly, especially if you want the beads to last. Try to avoid having space between the layers. If the bead doesn’t stay tightly rolled up, apply another dab of glue. Hold it for a moment to help the glue to set. Use a finish like Marvin Medium, ModPodge, Diamond Glaze, or a solution of one part clear-drying glue to two parts water. Let it dry thoroughly, making sure it doesn’t stick to anything. You might shove a toothpick into a pincushion or a piece of Styrofoam to allow it to dry completely. Add multiple coats for a glossier, longer-lasting finish. Wait several hours until your clear finish has set on the bead. Slide the bead off the end of the dowel. If it is well wrapped and glued, it will hold. If the bead begins to unravel, replace it on your skewer and add more glue and finish where necessary. Use the aforementioned directions to create as many beads as you would like to finish your project. Make several for jewelry pieces, or create a long string to use for decoration in your home.

Article in English: Cut off a branch near the base of your rose bush. Carefully scrape the outside bark on the branch. If there is green under the bark, that means that your rose bush is still alive and you'll be able to revive it. If the branch under the bark is brown, it means your rose bush is dead and you'll have to get a new one. Snap a few branches off of your rose bush. If it snaps easily, it is likely that the bush is dead. If the branches are still flexible, it could still be alive. Dead flowers and fallen leaves could cause your rose bush to develop diseases. Pick up any dead petals or leaves around the bush by hand and discard or compost it.  Don’t compost diseased plants since it could spread to other plants. Dead flowers and leaves are most likely to appear in the fall. around your rose bush. Weeds and other plants growing around your rose bush may be sucking up all the nutrients in the soil, thus weakening your rose bush. Pull and remove any weeds that you find in your garden by hand or dig them up with a garden spade.  You may also want to consider mulching to prevent new weeds from forming in your garden or yard.  Don’t leave any of the weeds' roots or new weeds could start growing. If your flowers or leaves develop spots or splotches of discoloration, it's a sign that they are diseased or dying. Dead flowers and leaves can be plucked off or pruned with hand shears. Neglecting to remove dead or diseased flowers or leaves could spread disease to the rest of the plant. Common rose bush diseases include black spot, powdery mildew, and brown canker.

Article in English: Cut off a piece of wire at least 3 ft. (0.9m) long, then strip about an inch (2.5 cm) of insulation off each end.  Thin wire can overheat, while thick wire will be less effective. Try 16–22 AWG (1.3–0.6mm diameter) wire.  Thinner insulation enables stronger magnetization. Enamel-coated wire gives the best results. To strip the enamel off the ends, rub the wire with 220-grit sandpaper. Wrap the wire tight around the screwdriver shaft ten to twenty times. You can double back for a second layer if the screwdriver is too short, but don't reverse the direction of the loop. (For example, you can move left—right—left along the screwdriver, but make sure to wind every loop clockwise.) Tape the wire in place if necessary. Attach the wire ends to the terminals of a 6V or 9V battery. The current flowing through the coils will create a magnetic field, which in turn magnetizes the screwdriver. Using higher voltage batteries is not recommended unless you have experience handling them safely. Anything more powerful than a 9 volt battery only needs to be connected for a split second to magnetize the screwdriver. Wear insulated gloves to protect from shocks and sparks. The screwdriver will always be magnetic while connected to the battery, but the wire and battery terminals will heat up quickly. Disconnect the battery after 30 to 60 seconds, then try to pick up a screw with the screwdriver. In most cases, it will still be magnetic. If the screwdriver loses its magnetism after the battery is disconnected, wrap a few more loops of wire and try again.

Article in English: Cut off another piece of paper to make a handle. If you used a piece of printer paper, your handle should be about 6" (15 cm) long and 1" (2.5 cm) wide. If you're hanging it, however, you don't necessarily need a handle -- it can be hung through the base on ribbon or string. If you're hanging the lantern, however, you don't necessarily need a handle -- it can be hung through the base on ribbon or string. You can put a candle inside, hang it from the ceiling, or use it as a centerpiece. Since the lantern is made of paper, only put a tea candle or votive in the center if you have a glass to put it in. Place the candle in the glass and put the lantern around the glass to light it up. It's best if the glass is deep so the flame doesn't sear the edge of the lantern and start a fire. Only use a candle inside if you are sitting the lantern on a flat surface, not if you are hanging it or using the handle.

Article in English: Cut off any dry or damaged stem ends with a sharp pair of kitchen shears. At this time, you should also inspect the bunch for damaged or wilted leaves. Remove these leaves, as well. Consider trimming the stems under cool, running water. Doing so causes less shock to the herb, and since the ends will be immersed in water anyway, they can get wet without worry. Keeping the ends as fresh as possible is actually preferred since they will be able to draw up more water that way. If the leaves have any noticeable moisture on them, you should dry them off with clean, dry paper towels or by running them through a salad spinner.  Even though the stems will be wet for this method, it is important that the leaves remain dry. The cilantro will wither much quicker if you allow the leaves to remain wet. Note that for this method, it is better to clean the cilantro before you are ready to use it instead of now, when you are only trying to keep it fresh. Waiting minimizes the amount of water touching the leaves. Fill the bottom quarter of a sturdy glass jar with cool water. Arrange the cilantro inside the glass after that, making sure that all the cut stem ends are submerged. The cut ends should be submerged, but the leaves should remain above the surface of the water. If a few leaves dip under the water, either reduce the amount of water in the jar or trim off the bottom leaves. Place a resealable plastic bag over the top of the cilantro. Let the opening of the bag remain loose.  Do not secure the bag onto the jar with a rubber band or anything else. The opening of the bag should fall below the mouth of the glass. In other words, the leafy portion of the cilantro needs to be completely covered with the bag. You will need to change the water every few days. Knowing when to change the water is as easy as simply taking a look at the glass. As soon as the water starts to become discolored, it is time to swap it out for a fresher water supply. Check the condition of the cilantro when you change the water. Snip off any dried ends...

Article in English: Cut off the stems of lavender along with the flowers, in 6 inch (15 centimeter) segments or longer. The leaves and new stems can be used to infuse oil as well as the flowers, although the woody, thick stems near the base should be avoided. You may use flower buds or strong-smelling flowers. You may wish to pick more lavender than you think you need. Then, if the oil you create isn't strong enough to suit your preferences, you will not have to wait for a new batch of lavender to dry. . If you are using fresh lavender, dry it first in shade or wrapped in a cloth, to enhance its aroma and minimize the chance of the oil becoming rancid. Tie the sprig up with rubber bands or a string and let it hang upside down in a dry, warm area. Exposing it to sunlight will dry the lavender out much faster, but could break down some of its aromatic oils. Fresh cut lavender may take two weeks to dry fully. Some infusers dry it for only one to three days, until it is withered but not crunchy; this reduces the chance of spoilage greatly, but does not eliminate it. Crumble the lavender apart with clean hands, or bruise it slightly with any clean, heavy object to expose its fragrance. If using buds, open them up with a knife or fingers. Place it in a clean jar. Wash your hands and jar first if they are dirty, but dry thoroughly before bringing them into contact with the lavender. Mixing water into the oil may interfere with the infusion. Pour any non-scented or lightly scented oil into the jar, fully covering the lavender but leaving 1–2 inches (1.25–2.5cm) of space at the top to allow for expansion. Almond oil, olive oil, or safflower oil are commonly used for this purpose, although you may wish to smell these first and avoid strong-smelling bottles that could overpower the lavender scent. Cover the jar tightly and leave the mixture to soak in a sunny location. It will most likely take at least 48 hours to achieve a noticeable scent, and more typically the oil is left out for three to six weeks. If you do not have enough sunlight...

Article in English: Cut out the neckband from the a basic white or other light colored tee shirt with sharp scissors. You should also trim the tee, so it ends at the wearer’s waist. If you want the shirt to stand out, use gem glue to add decorative craft gems to the neckline and bottom hem of the tee. A sari is a type of traditional, draping cloth worn by Indian women, but you can create your own with a piece of fabric. Inexpensive acetate that’s usually used for lining garments works well to make your own sari. For a child’s costume, cut the fabric so it's 30-inches wide and and 3-yards long. For adults, go with fabric that’s 45 inches wide and 6 yards long. Choose a bold color for your fabric. Jewel tones, such as emerald, ruby, or sapphire, are attractive shade options for a sari. To make it easier to wrap the sari, wear your cropped top with a pair of leggings or stretchy bike shorts in a neutral color. Take one end of the fabric and tuck it into the back of your leggings. Create a pleat in the fabric, and tuck the next section into the waistband, repeating the action all the way around your waist. Drape the excess fabric over your shoulder, folding from the back to the front.  When you tuck the fabric into your waistband, the hem should cover your feet but rest above the floor. Aim for approximately 7 to 10 pleats when you’re tucking in the fabric. The pleats should fall straight and point to your left. When you drape the remaining length of fabric over you, it should be somewhere between knee-length and floor-length. If you’re worried about your sari coming loose, secure it in place with pins. Compliment your sari with gold or silver bangle bracelets, gold or silver hoop earrings, and flat sandals.

Article in English: Cut small rectangles out of felt or snip numerous pipe cleaners or plastic straws into small sections.  Use multi-colored materials for rainbow sprinkles or dark brown materials for chocolate sprinkles. Attach the sprinkles to the frosting using a hot glue gun. Position the sprinkles in randomized, scattered directions. Do not arrange the sprinkles to face the same direction since this will not look appropriately cupcake-like. Wear a red knit cap and use hot glue to attach a red pipe cleaner to the uppermost tip. Bend the pipe cleaner slightly so that it looks like the stem of a cherry. Dress in tights and a sweatshirt.  The tights and sweatshirt should match the color of the frosting. If you used white frosting, then wear white clothes. If you used chocolate frosting, wear brown clothes. Alternatively, you could wear flesh-tone tights instead of colored tights. Wear short running shorts above the tights, checking to make sure that they do not extend past the bottom of the cupcake costume wrapper. You could also trade the sweatshirt for a tank top or sleeveless shirt. Wear shoes that match your tights, if possible.  Wear plain sandals or flats. Avoid elaborately decorated shoes. If you cannot match your shoes to your tights, simply select the simplest pair of shoes you can find.

Article in English: Cut the Velveeta cheese brick with a sharp kitchen knife. The resulting cubes should each be about 1/2 inch to 1 inch (1.25 to 2.5 cm) in every dimension.  Make sure that the cubes are all evenly sized to ensure even melting. Small cubes are better than large ones since they melt quicker. Arrange the cubes of Velveeta cheese in a medium to large microwave-safe dish and pour up to 7 Tbsp (105 ml) of milk over them. Cover the dish with a lid or a piece of microwave-safe plastic wrap. The use of milk is strongly advised for this method since it prevents the cheese from burning in the microwave. Furthermore, the milk creates a much smoother sauce. Place the dish in the microwave and cook the mixture on high for 30 seconds. Stir the contents of the dish, then microwave it again for another 30 seconds. Repeat as needed until the cheese melts down into a smooth sauce.  You may need to microwave the Velveeta for up to 2 or 3 minutes total. Frequent stirring is necessary if you want to prevent the cheese from burning as it melts. The Velveeta cheese product should be served or otherwise used as soon as it comes out of the microwave. If you let it sit out too long or attempt to refrigerate it, the Velveeta will start to solidify again.

Article in English: Cut the apple, pear, or other fruit in half, through the stem. Press a large melon baller into the center of each half, turning to remove the tough core. Cut a cucumber in half lengthwise, then scrape out the seeds by running the melon baller scoop down its length. Cut a peach in half and pull out the pit. If the flesh around the pit is dry or moldy, scrape it out with a shallow scoop of the melon baller. Remove similar small defects on other round fruit surfaces, where a knife is awkward to use. You can remove potato eyes this way as well. From cookie dough to meatball mixture to Matzoh dumplings, any thick substance can be shaped into a ball using this tool. Make sure to use an appropriately sized melon baller. If the recipe calls for large dollops, smaller dots may burn during cooking.  Plastic melon ballers may only work on soft foods, such as sorbet. Try dipping it in hot water, then scooping miniature ice cream sundaes. Some melon ballers have a serrated edge for a more controlled grip. Use these to remove strawberry greens, or to prepare cherry tomatoes for stuffing.

Article in English: Cut the brick of Velveeta cheese into cubes that are roughly 1/2-inch to 1-inch (1.25 to 2.5 cm) around.  Cut the Velveeta into evenly sized pieces to make sure that it melts down at an even pace. Smaller cubes will melt faster than large cubes. Fill the bottom half of a double boiler with 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.6 cm) of water. Place this portion on the stove and heat it on medium-high for a couple of minutes, or until the water starts to boil.  If you do not have a double boiler, use a large saucepan for the bottom portion and a stainless steel bowl capable of resting around the mouth of the saucepan for the top portion. Make sure that the water level is not high enough to touch the top half of your double boiler. After the water boils, you should reduce the heat as needed to keep the water at a steady simmer. Add the butter to the top half of the double boiler and place the top half over the bottom. Stir the butter using a wooden mixing spoon, heating it indirectly until it melts down completely and spreads over the bottom of the pan. The butter is not strictly essential for this method, but it is still strongly recommended since it gives the Velveeta an extra layer of protection against the heat and helps prevent the cheese product from burning. Toss the cubes of Velveeta into the top part of the double boiler, as well. Mix them continuously with your mixing spoon until they melt down into a thick, creamy sauce.  Note that you do not need to add milk to this version, so the resulting sauce will be thicker than the melted cheese sauce produced by the saucepan method. You still need to stir the cheese continually as it melts to make sure that it does not burn or otherwise melt unevenly. If you let the melted Velveeta sit out at room temperature for too long, it can start to solidify again. It is best to use the Velveeta cheese while it is still warm and freshly melted.

Article in English: Cut the butter into chunks and place it in a heat-safe dish or small saucepan. You can melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Aim for 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) of butter per tail. Insert kitchen shears between the shell and the meat of the lobster tail. Cut down the center until you reach the tail fan. Use your fingers to spread the shell apart and loosen the meat from the shell. To remove the vein in the center of the tail, pull it out or cut it out with the shears. Arrange the tails meat-side-up so they don’t overlap on the baking sheet. You may need to use more than 1 baking sheet, depending on how many lobsters you’re cooking. Use a pastry brush to coat each tail with the melted butter. Use an instant-read thermometer to measure the temperature in the thickest part of the tail. Don’t let the tails get hotter than 140–145 °F (60–63 °C), or they may become rubbery and overcooked. Carefully remove the baking sheet(s) from the oven with an oven mitt and turn off the oven. Place each lobster tail on a plate, add a lemon slice or 2 to each, and serve them immediately. You can pour more melted butter over the tail meat, if you like.

Article in English: Cut the dough into two or three lumps and work on one lump at a time. Flour your work surface and hands. Roll out the dough into a rectangle about as long as desired for the baton (a shorter, wider loaf) or baguette (long and thin). Starting at one long edge, roll the dough tightly into the baton or baguette shape and pinch the seam when done. Other shapes are certainly possible. A round loaf can be made by tucking the sides of the “lump” under to form a round, smooth loaf. A baguette is just a thinner baton. If you're using a cookie sheet, lightly oil and sprinkle with cornmeal; for holed sheets, lightly oil. You can fit two or three pieces on the same sheet. Cover the loaves on the sheet with a damp kitchen towel and let rise until roughly doubled in size. This should take about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the temperature in your kitchen.
