Article in English: A few drops are sufficient for this mixture, which you can then use as you would regular shampoo. Many conditioners on the market also include aloe as an ingredient to treat dried-out hair.  Has the bonus of being topically soothing for a dandruff sufferer's itchy scalp. Aloe juice or gel can also be combined with lemon juice and applied separately, before shampooing, but it should be noted that lemon juice can have a drying effect on your hair. There are plenty of different recipes to be found, but a basic one employs two egg yolks, beaten well, with two tablespoons of olive or coconut oil.  After beating the two egg yolks together with the oil, apply it to your hair and let it sit for five minutes. Wash your hair thoroughly so that no residue remains. Utilize instead of shampoo according to your wash schedule, alternating egg washes with regular cleanings. Really! After the liquid evaporates, the two ingredients remaining from the beer are malt and hops, proteins which can revitalize your dried out roots. Although some opt for the fun of simply pouring a beer over their head mid-shampooing, you can also mix boiled (but not currently boiling) beer with a mild shampoo and use that in the shower.   This should be incorporated occasionally (it'd get a bit expensive, otherwise), in addition to your normal wash. This will, quite predictably, cause your head to smell like beer; interpret this as positively or as negatively as feels appropriate to you. The oil will tighten up your blood vessels and act as an astringent, drying out your scalp, so take care to use this more on your scalp than your dry hair.

Article in English: A few drops of tea tree oil can be added to homemade face masks to kill bacteria and dry out pimples. Make a face mask using natural ingredients.  Mix 3-4 drops of tea tree oil with 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) of green clay powder, which can be found at most health food stores. Stir in enough water to turn your clay into a spreadable paste. Apply the mask evenly, leave the mask on for at least 20 minutes, and then rinse off with warm water and pat dry. Blend together 3 drops of tea tree oil, 1 teaspoon of jojoba oil, and half of a very finely chopped tomato. Apply this face mask directly to clean skin and leave on for 10 minutes, before rinsing off with warm water and patting dry. Add 5 drops of tea tree oil to 1/4 cup of plain yogurt (either traditional or Greek style) and apply as a mask. Rinse off with warm water after 15-20 minutes. For an effective, acne-fighting face scrub, try mixing tea tree oil with some other natural ingredients from your kitchen cupboard. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of sesame or olive oil, 1 tablespoon of honey, and approximately 10 drops of tea tree oil. Gently massage the mixture onto your damp face, using circular motions, for 2-5 minutes. Wash off with warm water and then pat your face dry.  This scrub may be a little rough for people suffering from cystic acne but is perfect for mild to medium breakouts. As both tea tree oil and honey are natural preservatives, you can make this scrub in bulk and store in a jar in your medicine cabinet. A few drops of tea tree oil can be added to your daily moisturizer and cleanser to help combat stubborn pimples. Apply 2 - 6 drops, depending on how strong you want it. Be careful not to get it in your eyes. It could cause stinging or burning if the tea tree oil comes into contact with your eyes. Add a couple of drops of tea tree oil to your bath to help clear acne on your chest, back, and other parts of your body. Additionally, the oil will add a fragrant scent to your bath. Breathing in the tea tree-infused steam can also...

Article in English: A few weeks before the surgery, get your home ready.  Make sure that all the items you need on a regular basis are at hip level. This way, you don't have to twist your pelvic muscles or strain other sore parts of your body. Rearrange your closet so that items such as socks or underwear are near hip level, so you won’t have any trouble reaching down for those items. Make sure you have a sleeping space in the downstairs of your home available for at least a couple of weeks after surgery, because stairs will be hard to handle. Make sure you have a comfortable bed that makes it easy for you to lie down and get up with minimal support. Get a chair with appropriate support, such as sturdy arms, to support yourself when you are getting up and sitting down. After your surgery, you may require a walker to help you with your routine activities.  Make sure that you arrange your house to enable unfettered movement. Ensure that all objects are placed out of the way to help you move around easily. If your bathroom doesn't have any handle bars, now is the time to install them so you won’t have problems steadying yourself in the bathroom. Arrange aids to help you bathe, including a chair and low level shelves to store your soaps and shampoos. Run errands to stock your house with the things you will need after your surgery.  Stock up on easy-to-prepare meals like frozen or canned food items. Make sure that you have all the necessary items you need, like water, milk, snacks, juice, and other food items. Don’t forget to stock up on items such as toilet paper, shampoo, soap, and other products that you use on a regular basis. Ask for a friend or a family member help you with grocery shopping, bill payments, and other necessary chores.  If that isn't possible, you could look into paying for bills online.

Article in English: A fiber-heavy diet can provide a long-term solution to occasional, minor rectal bleeding. Anal fissures are often caused by constipation or by excessive straining when defecating. If you frequently experience either of these conditions, adding fiber to your diet will help bowel movements pass more easily. Fibrous foods include:  Legumes like lentils, split peas, and chickpeas. Fruits like pears and apples, with the skin on. Whole-grain muffins, bagels, and pasta. When your body becomes dehydrated, it will produce firmer stools that are harder to pass. Anal fissures and mild rectal bleeding are a common consequence. Avoid this by staying hydrated so that your stools are easy to pass and do not damage your rectum or any hemorrhoids. On average, an adult woman should drink about 11.5 cups (2.7 L) of water and other fluids a day. An adult man should drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 L) of water and other fluids a day. Most instances of rectal bleeding from anal fissures will stop on their own once your bowel movement is over. If you have seen the doctor and know that your bleeding is the result of a minor issue, such as a fissure or hemorrhoid, wait for the bleeding to stop or lightly blot your anus with toilet paper to stop the blood flow. If rectal bleeding from hemorrhoids or anal fissures persists over 2 or 3 days, visit your local drugstore pharmacy for a hydrocortisone or hemorrhoid cream. The cream will decrease the discomfort or pain, and will help the sores or fissures stop bleeding and heal.  Consult your doctor before applying a medicated cream. Although most over-the-counter creams are mild and safe, your doctor will be able to advise you about which brand of cream to use. The doctor can also write you a prescription if a stronger cream is needed.

Article in English: A field of work is far more than a single job—it is an area in which many jobs or trades are possible! Once you have an idea of what field you want to work in, consider all the options within that field. For instance, if you want to work in healthcare, you could be a nurse or a doctor, of course, but you could also schedule appointments for patients, work in medical billing, or manage a physician’s office.  Or, if you study law, you may want to be a lawyer for a large law firm or a non-profit organization, or even write corporate compliance manuals. If you study computer science, you could consider working in retail tech support or becoming a CTO. While certain jobs may sound amazing in theory, it’s important to know exactly what you’re getting yourself into. Find out the day-to-day responsibilities for several jobs within the field to help you narrow down your options. Go to the National Career Service website to peruse job profiles for more than 800 positions. Think about whether you can picture yourself completing the tasks happily or if the work seem overwhelming or misaligned with your vision of a new career. For instance, you may absolutely love animals, but if you’re squeamish about blood or needles, becoming a veterinary technician may not be right for you. However, a dog walker or pet groomer may be a better fit. It’s important to choose a career that fits with your temperament and personality. Think about whether you enjoy interacting with other people and if you work better alone or in a group setting. Also, consider if you are a great leader or take direction well, and whether you enjoy planning things or like to go with the flow. You should also think how well you manage time, if you are detail-oriented or focus on the big picture, and if you enjoy coming up with new ideas. For instance, if you want to work with technology but don’t enjoy being around other people or interacting with strangers, you could choose to work in development rather than marketing. Many skill sets translate to multiple...

Article in English: A first-degree burn is a minor burn, but a second-degree burn will have further damage to the skin's layers. Second-degree burns will also have blistering, pain, redness, and bleeding. These may require different treatment or professional care, so it's important to understand what level of burn you have. To tell if you have a first-degree burn, look for the following:  Redness to just the outer layer of the skin (the epidermis) Damage to the skin, but no blistering Pain similar to that of a sunburn Stinging, but no broken skin If you develop large blisters, the burn covers a large area of your body, or if you notice infection (like oozing from the wound, severe pain, redness, and swelling), get medical attention before trying to treat the wound at home. Place the burned skin under cool running water for 20 minutes. This should help to lower the temperature of your skin. If you don't want to stand next to running water for that long, fill a bowl with cool water and soak the burn in the bowl. You may want to add some ice cubes to the bowl, since the water could warm up quickly. But, make sure the water just remains cool, not cold.  Avoid using ice cold water to run over or submerge your skin. It can damage the delicate and already injured tissue if you cool it down too quickly. If you use a bowl, make sure it's big enough to completely submerge your burn in the water. If you're still feeling pain after cooling the burned area with water, apply ice. Be sure to wrap a washcloth or paper towels around the ice pack to create a barrier. Press the wrapped ice, ice pack, or even a bag of frozen vegetables, against the burn. Leave it on for around 10 minutes, but move the ice to different spots every few minutes if it gets too cold. Never apply ice directly to the burned area. By this point, you should be feeling relief from the pain. You should only need to dress the burn if it's developing a blister (making it a second-degree burn). Dress the burn by simply patting the burned area dry. Generously cover the burn with...

Article in English: A fishing rod can be a complex piece of equipment so it is wise to learn the terminology before assembling your own. If your rod breaks into 2 parts or more, the joint where the sections fit together is called the ferrule. The male ferrule inserts into a female ferrule.  The handle is also called a grip and is where you hold the rod. The butt it the thick part of your rod closest to the handle. The tip is the most flexible part of the rod and is located at the very top of the rod. Guides are the rings that go all along the rod that guide your fishing line.

Article in English: A fishtail braid looks like it's made of several small strands, but surprisingly there are only two primary sections.  For a neat braid, use a fine-toothed comb to make a straight part down the middle of your head, from forehead to nape. For a more tousled, Katniss Everdeen-inspired look, just part your hair with your hands and separate into two sections that seem somewhat even. You can fishtail your hair when it is either wet or dry.

Article in English: A fishy smell may indicate antifreeze is leaking into your car. Smells that come from the heat or AC system may indicate mechanical problems. These issues could be dangerous and indicate your car needs repairs, so take your car to a mechanic if you're having trouble with these smells. If your car smells like gas, do not attempt to treat the issue on your own. This can be very dangerous, as it indicates a leak somewhere in the car. Do not drive your car. Instead, immediately contact a mechanic for advice. Tobacco scents can get into a car's interior and usually cannot be removed without professional help. Even thorough cleanings do not always lift tobacco smells. If your car smells like tobacco, you will need professional cleaning to lift the odor. Keep in mind, even professional cleaning does not have a 100% success rate at lifting tobacco odor, especially if a car was driven for years by a heavy smoker.

Article in English: A flat magnifying lens is square and roughly 2 inches (5.1 cm) on each side. While flat page magnifiers don’t have as much magnification power as a magnifying glass, they still have enough power and surface area to channel the sun’s heat and catch tinder on fire.  You can find small magnifying lenses at a local hardware store, or at a pharmacy or grocery store. You can also start a fire by using a page-sized flat magnifying lens. Note that one side of a flat magnifier is ridged and the other side is smooth. It will work a little better if you hold it so that the smooth side faces the tinder. Glasses are a great survival tool, which you may already be wearing. If you have a strong prescription—and especially if the prescription corrects for far-sighted vision—the lenses will be shaped in a way that can concentrate the sun’s heat, just like a magnifying glass.  Eyeglasses aren’t as powerful at focusing the sun’s rays as a magnifying glass, since glasses are only convex one 1 side, while the magnifying glass is convex on both sides. Compensate for this by placing 1 drop of clear water on the inside surface of the eyeglasses. This will give the lens 2 convex surfaces, and make it channel more heat onto your tinder.

Article in English: A fledgling is a partially or fully-feathered baby bird. A fledgling has likely outgrown his nest and is walking around on the ground or low branches before he can fly. He still needs to be fed by his parents, but is not completely helpless.  You should leave a fledgling where he is so that his parents can find him and feed him. You should only move him if he is injured and needs to be taken to a wildlife rehabilitation center.  A nestling has either no feathers or the beginnings of feathers. If you see a nestling out of his nest, put him back in his nest. If the nest has fallen out of tree, put the nest back in the tree, then put the nestling in it.  If you cannot find the nestling's nest, make one by placing shredded paper towels in the bottom of a margarine tub. With a nail or wire, fasten the tub to a tree near where you found the bird, then put him in it. If the baby bird's parents have not come back in one to two hours, or if you know that the mother is dead, the baby bird will need to be transported to a wildlife rehabilitation center. He will also need expert care he is injured or appears sick.  Do not delay in calling a wildlife rehabilitation center. The sooner you can transport the baby bird, the better his chances for recovery.  If someone from the wildlife center will be coming to pick the baby bird, keep him warm in the meantime by placing him in a nest of tissue against a jar of warm water. Although you mean well, you may be doing more harm than good by feeding a wild baby bird. In fact, many wildlife centers recommend that you  not  try to feed a wild baby bird. It is best to either leave him alone or transport him as soon as possible to a wildlife rehabilitation center.  It is likely the baby bird's parents are nearby and will return to him within a few hours to feed him.  If you mistakenly take the baby bird out of the wild to feed him, you may deprive him of the care that he needs from his parents.

Article in English: A fledgling is a young bird that has all of its feathers, has left its nest of its own will, but its parents still feed and care for it. This is a normal phase of bird life that humans often misunderstand, as most fledglings that humans come across don't actually need our help. A nestling, on the other hand, should not be out of the nest yet. A nestling does not have all of its feathers and can't stand up or perch yet. If you have found a nestling, instead of a fledgling, it is more likely to need your help. It's normal for fledglings to be out of the nest and on the ground. In fact, the parents will still feed it when it is on the ground. If the bird is in danger on the ground, however, place it in a tree and out of harms way. At the fledgling developmental stage it should be able to perch, so place it on the branch of a bush a bit off the ground.  If the bird is in your backyard, keep your cats or dogs inside. Be aware that if the bird is very young and has no feathers, it is a nestling and it probably won't survive out of the nest. Leave the bird alone and watch it for awhile from a distance. Pay attention to bird noises and other birds around. Chances are that the fledglings parents will return to it within the hour.

Article in English: A foam surfboard will be lightweight and easy to use. Make sure you're on a beach with waves that break far out instead of waves that break right on the beach – these waves are ideal for surfing. Check the weather, too. Bad weather could lead to an unfortunate accident. And as for the shoreline, stick for something that isn't too rocky. That's a recipe for disaster. If you have a leash, put it around your ankle. This will prevent you from losing your board. Once your board is in the water, lay on your stomach and start paddling – one arm and then the other. Paddle over the forming waves, going far back to where the waves are just mere currents. When you're ready, turn your board around and start paddling forward. You will probably catch a wave. When you do, put your hands on the board and lift your body up onto your feet. Start off crouching low and then slowly stand up with your arms out for balance. Do this until you get to shore. You want to be there and ready when it begins to roll over but before it actually does. As you come over it's edge, raise your torso up with your arms on either side of the board. Then, if you are a righty, put your left foot in front of your body and use it to lift up your right foot. Then ride the wave left or right as it crashes behind you. For a while, you're going to be snapped off your surfboard by the water. Don't get discouraged; each time you go out into the water, you're perfecting just what it is you have to do. It's a normal part of the learning curve. Combine the following factors to form a solid foundation. This will enable you to stay stable and get the maximum ride out of the wave.  Place your front foot on the chest line and in a direction that goes across the deck, your back foot is placed so your legs are slightly wider than shoulder width. Keep your knees bent at all times. This will lower your center of gravity and assist you in keeping your balance on the surfboard. Push your hips forward to transfer your weight onto the front leg. Your back leg should dip in...

Article in English: A food bank is an organization run by a church, homeless shelter, or community aid organization which offers food to those in need. Community dinners are often offered at local churches and community aid organizations for free or at extremely low cost.  Call local churches to find out if they have weekly spaghetti dinners, soup kitchens, or other events where meals are provided to the general public. SNAP provides nutrition assistance to low-income individuals and families.  The program is provided by the US Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service, and funded publicly.  To qualify for SNAP, you can have up to $2,250 in total household bank accounts, or $3,250 if you’re 60 or older.  Supplemental Security Income, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, and most retirement plans do not count against the total financial resources used to determine whether you qualify.  The amount of income you earn also determines eligibility.  To apply, find your state’s public assistance office.  A full list of such offices and the online SNAP applications of states which offer them are available at http://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/apply.  Fill in the required paperwork and mail, digitally submit, or print your application.  Response times vary by state.  You might also try identifying and calling your local SNAP hotline with this list: http://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/state-informationhotline-numbers. SNAP benefits can be used for food purchases only.

Article in English: A forward contract is like a futures contract or derivative. It is an agreement to buy or sell a currency at a fixed price on a certain date.  Here's an example:  Dave is worried that the price of the dollar is going to plummet relative to the British pound. He has $1,000,000 in cash, which would fetch him about £600,000 at the then-current exchange rate. Dave wants to use a forward contract to lock in the exchange rate of the dollar relative to the pound. Here's what Dave does: Dave offers to sell Vivian $1,000,000 of US currency in exchange for £600,000 of British currency in six months. Vivian accepts the deal. This is a "forward contract." Let's continue with our example of Dave offering a forward contract to Vivian. In six months (the agreed-upon time), there are three possible outcomes regarding the price of the dollar relative to the pound.  Each of these possibilities affects the forward contract:  The price of the dollar goes up relative to the pound. Hypothetically, let's say one dollar now fetches .75 pound instead of .6 pound. Dave pays Vivian the difference between the current price of exchange and the price agreed upon in the contract:  ($1,000,000 x .75) - ($1,000,000 x .6) = $150,000. The price of the dollar goes down relative to the pound. Hypothetically, let's say one  dollar now fetches .45 pound instead of .6 pound. Vivian agreed to pay Dave .6 pound for each of his dollars six months ago, so Vivian has to pay Dave the difference between the price agreed upon in the contract and the current price: ($1,000,000 x .6) - ($1,000,000 x .45) = $150,000. The exchange rate between the dollar and the pound stays the same. No exchange happens between partners in the contract. Like any derivative, a forward contract is a great way to ensure you don't lose a lot of money if a currency you have a sizable position in drops in value. Here's how Dave came out by using a forward contract:  If the dollar gained in value, Dave is a winner, although he still has to pay out. If one dollar fetches .75 pound...

Article in English: A foundation of Wing Chun is the protection of your body's center line. Imagine a line that starts at the middle top of your head and travels along the middle of your chest to the lower body. This is the center line of your body and it is the most vulnerable. It must be protected at all times.  According to the center line theory, you should always attack down the center line and perform your defensive moves against your opponent’s center line. The basic open stance in Wing Chun is based on the theory of the center line. In the open stance, stand facing forward with your knees bent and your feet pointing slightly outward. By facing your opponent head-on, you are able to attack with the most balanced force. A key Wing Chun principle is that, during fighting, energy should be used conservatively and economically. Use your opponent’s energy by deflecting or redirecting blows.  Use motion economically and wisely. The idea here is that your body should travel the shortest distance in a minimum amount of time to connect with an opponent. This also helps to conserve your own energy. A tense body will use energy unnecessarily. Keep your body relaxed and you will be more at ease. If you have experience in other martial arts, (especially "hard styles"), you will have to "empty your cup" or unlearn bad habits. Wing Chun is a soft style with many neutralizing techniques that require you to be "soft" and relaxed. Reconditioning your muscle memory and building relaxed habits can be frustrating and takes time, but it will be worth it in the long run. In Wing Chun, the fighter will react to a fight using quick reflexes to interrupt an attack and change the fight to be on your terms. Your opponent might be tall or short, big or small, male or female, and so on. Similarly, the environment in which you fight can be different – outside, inside, rainy, hot, cold, and so on. Be ready to adjust your fighting to suit the conditions. The practice of Wing Chun is broken into a succession of six different forms, each of which builds on...

Article in English: A foundation that is thick or has a lot of moisturizer can make your oily skin oilier.  Stay away from heavy pancake foundations that can clog pores.  Instead, choose a foundation that is lightweight and won't cause breakouts.  Look for a foundation with salicylic acid like Clinique's line of foundations for acne prone skin; these formulas can actually reduce or even prevent breakouts. If your skin reacts to certain cleansers or moisturizers, you may find the same problem with some foundations.  Many cosmetic companies, such as Cover Girl and Lancome, have a line of hypoallergenic or noncomedogenic and fragrance free foundations designed for sensitive skin. You probably want to stay away from powder based foundations and heavy matte foundations.  These can settle into lines on your face and make you look older.  Try lightweight liquid foundations with moderate coverage. Also, look for foundations that can protect your skin from further aging as well as improve your skin’s appearance now. While foundations that have an SPF rating are more and more common, many foundations have no sun protection at all, so be sure to check.  Makeup lines for sensitive skin often have good sun protection, so those may be a good place to find the foundation you need.  Look for a foundation with an SPF of at least 15. Use a good sun screen as well to get the full protection your skin needs. Liquid foundations are probably the best choice for you.  Some mineral based powder foundations can nourish your skin too, but typically powder foundations aren't the best choice for dry skin.  Department store lines like Dior as well as drugstore cosmetic brands like L'Oreal make rich creamy foundations that work well for dry skin. If you don't typically have any problems with excessively oily or dry skin, a sheer liquid foundation or tinted moisturizer will even out your skin tone and conceal minor skin flaws.

Article in English: A fraction is written correctly when there is no radical in the denominator. If the denominator contains a square root or other radical, you must multiply both the top and bottom by a number that can get rid of that radical. Note that the numerator can contain a radical. Don't worry about the numerator.   Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle \frac{7\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{7}}  We can see that there is a 7{\displaystyle {\sqrt {7}}} in the denominator. A fraction with a monomial term in the denominator is the easiest to rationalize. Both the top and bottom of the fraction must be multiplied by the same term, because what you are really doing is multiplying by 1. 7327⋅77{\displaystyle {\frac {7{\sqrt {3}}}{2{\sqrt {7}}}}\cdot {\frac {\sqrt {7}}{\sqrt {7}}}}

Article in English: A free body diagram is a quick sketch of an object that illustrates all of the forces acting on it and the direction these forces are acting. Read through the problem and draw a simple sketch of the object in question and the arrows representing every force acting on that object. For example: Calculate the net force of an object weighing 20 N sitting on a table being pushed towards the right with 5 N of force, but staying still because of a friction force of 5 N. The standard is to set arrows pointing upward or to the right as positive and arrows pointing downward or to the left as negative. Remember, you can have multiple forces working in the same direction. Forces that oppose each other will always have opposite signs (one positive, one negative).  If you are working with multiple force diagrams, make sure you keep the directions consistent throughout. Label the magnitude of each force with a “+” or “-“ sign based on the direction of the arrow you’ve drawn on the force diagram. For example: The force of gravity is a downward force making it negative. The normal force is upward making it positive. The push force is to the right making it positive, while the friction force acts to oppose this force towards the left (negative). Be sure to label all of the forces that are acting on the object. When an object is resting on a surface there is a downward force of gravity (Fg) and an equal force in the opposite direction called the normal force (Fn). In addition to these two forces, label the rest of the forces stated in the problem. Write the magnitude of each force in Newtons next to the given label.  A standard way to label forces is with a capital F and a subscript of first letter of the force. For example, if there is a force due to friction, label it Ff. Force due to gravity: Fg = -20 N Normal force: Fn = +20 N Friction force: Ff = -5 N Push force: Fp = +5 N Now that you have labelled all forces with both a direction and magnitude, you just need to add all of them together. Write an equation for net force...

Article in English: A free spirit is not tied to many things beyond his or her ideals, and people he or she cares about. Part of being a free spirited person is learning to let some things go in life before they hold you back or weigh you down. As a free spirit, you can certainly still worry about and fight for things that matter. If something seems to be holding you back rather than helping you achieve your dreams, however, it might be time to let it go. A home that is larger or more complex than you need, filled with more material things than you need, costs too much, or is in a location you don’t want to be in can keep you from being a free spirit. You could move into a different or smaller home that is more manageable for your free-spirited lifestyle, such as a tiny house. No one can get through life without some material things. However, too many things can weigh you down if you are trying to be a free spirit. Try these techniques:  Buying fewer things will decrease clutter and simplify your life. This will also free up finances for things that might matter more to you, such as traveling or spending time with friends. Buy less, but of better things. Having quality things but fewer things overall can help you be less materialistic. Higher-quality clothes, for instance, will last longer than lower-quality ones, and you will need to have fewer of them. Keep in mind that reducing is good for the environment. Consuming less means less production, less waste, less pollutants, etc. Decluttering your life is one of the first steps you can take toward becoming a more free spirited person. When choosing how to simplify things, consider the following:  Think about how often you use particular items. Many experts suggest that if you are trying to declutter, if you haven’t used an item in six months, you should consider getting rid of it. Irreplaceable items of great sentimental value might be an exception. However, remember that memories are more important than things, and you might not need to keep everything. Photographs, for...

Article in English: A fresh cauliflower will be pure white and will be wrapped in crisp, bright green leaves.  In particular, you should pay close attention to the base of the cauliflower. Regardless of how dirty or dingy the top looks, the base should be as white as possible. The color of the base is the best indication of how fresh the vegetable is.     The floret tops along the outside of the head should be fairly compact. If they are loose, or if there are wide gaps between the tops, this could be an indication that the cauliflower has already started to go bad.    Use a sharp knife to cut off the green leaves surrounding the head of cauliflower. Cut the leaves off as close to the base of the stem as possible. Note that the leaves can be cooked, too, as long as they are fresh. They are especially useful for vegetable stock, but they could be cooked down and used in stews, roasted, or eaten raw in salads.    To make removing florets easier, cut off the large stem just before the point at which it divides into individual florets.  The stem could also be saved and used for vegetable stock. Technically, this step is only optional. You can remove individual florets from the cauliflower without first removing the excess stem, but doing so will be much more difficult. Turn the head upside down so that the cut stem end faces up. Use your sharp kitchen knife to cut each individual branch or floret off.  Slice the floret off at the point where the floret stem meets the central stem. Cut them from the central stem at a 45 degree angle. Take the time to trim away and discolored parts of the cauliflower. Brown or otherwise off-color cauliflower will not taste as good and will lack many of the nutrients that fresh cauliflower has. Note that small baby cauliflowers can be cooked whole. You do not need to cut them into individual florets. You can use the florets as they are now, but if they are still somewhat large, they might take longer to cook. Use your knife to trim the florets down into smaller pieces. They should be about the same...

Article in English: A freshly opened canned beverage will provide the most carbonation. To burp loudly you will want to drink the beverage as fast as possible. Choose something that you like, so you’ll want to drink fast. Be careful that it’s not too sweet, or it may upset your stomach.  Pick a drink that is cold but not so cold that it hurts to drink quickly. Avoid drinks that have gone flat and have been open for a long time. The more carbonation you are able to take in, the larger the burp you can release will be. Take large back to back gulps of the drink, and try to finish it in one attempt.  You don’t need to take large mouthfuls, smaller sips will introduce more air as you swallow. Resist the urge to let out small burps as you drink. Make sure that all of the beverage is at the bottom of your stomach and the gas bubbles have had a chance to rise. Make a straight pathway from your stomach to your mouth by extending your shoulders upward and stretching your back. You want to allow the gas travel as smoothly as possible from your stomach out in order to produce the loudest burp. Let the accumulated gas go all at once. The sound of your burp will reflect the amount of air you are releasing from your stomach.  Open your mouth. Squeeze your stomach muscles similar to the feeling of vomiting. Let the air escape your stomach. Amplify your burp by pushing more air out faster. Use your abdominal and stomach muscles to squeeze your stomach to push out a larger volume of air.

Article in English: A frog at the bottom of your container will anchor the stems of your flowers to keep them in place.  If the frog is a bit too small, you can cut a piece of floral foam to achieve the same effect. Soak the foam for a few minutes to soften it. Trace the bottom of your container onto the foam, then use a utility knife to cut out the shape. Place it at the bottom of your container. You can skip this step for fake flower arrangements, since they tend to stay in place without help. If you don't have a utility knife, you should be able to cut through the frog with a scissors. If you are using a large, decorative bowl as a container for your flowers, having a tape grid over the opening will also keep the flowers and other elements from moving. Place half a dozen tape pieces going horizontally across the opening, and half a dozen running vertically. This will allow you to secure the flowers in an orderly design. Clip off leaves near the bottoms of the stem with scissors, to remove bulk and help them stay fresh longer. Use a diagonal cut to trim the flowers to the desired length. The shallower your container is, the more you will have to clip.  Consider cutting the stems of different flowers to different lengths. This will add tiers to the floral design. If you're unsure how much to trim, do a practice run and hold the flowers up next to your container in a bunch to estimate how tall each one should be. Be sure the tips are wedged into the flower frog. Place the tallest, boldest blooms in the container first, then fill in the gaps with the other complementary flowers and you have chosen. Continue filling out the container until the arrangement looks balanced and complete. You will want to check its appearance from each side to make sure it is consistent. Fix any gaps with other flowers or remove flowers if it is too full. Ivy, ferns or baby's breath accent the flowers while adding rich green hues to your design. Depending upon your design, you may want your greenery to surround your flowers at the bottom, drape down...

Article in English: A frozen variety of your hamster’s favorite treat is a great way to cool him down on a hot day. Be careful to stick to treats that are safe for your hamster. Consider freezing:  Barley Cashews Flaxseeds Millet Oats Peanuts Pumpkin seeds Sesame seeds Cooked potato Fill a water bottle (or an empty soda bottle) about halfway with water. Wait until it freezes solid. Then, wrap it in a towel or cloth and place it in your hamster’s cage.  Make sure you wrap the bottle. The frozen bottle can hurt your hamster’s skin. A good tip is to freeze the bottle on its side. That way, when you place it in the cage, the hamster has more to lay against. You can also use a frozen ice pack. Hamsters like to bathe in bath sand. You can treat your hamster to a cool bath by freezing his bath sand. Try taking a cup of sand and placing it in a zip-lock bag. Put the bag in the freezer for a few hours, remove the sand from the bag, and place it in the hamster's cage. If you have a ceramic house in your hamster’s cage, you can freeze it for a few hours to create a cold habitat. Ceramic holds temperature well and can provide a cool haven for an overheated hamster. Alternatively, you can use a frozen ceramic tile or marble square in his cage. Dampen a towel and freeze it for a few hours. Drape it around the outside of the hamster’s cage, wrapping it around the bottom of the cage. This will create a cold barrier that your hamster can lay against. Make sure you do not block the airflow from your hamster’s cage with the towel.

Article in English: A full cord, also referred to as a "cord," is a stack of wood that measures 4 feet (1.2 m) wide, 4 feet (1.2 m) tall, and 8 feet (2.4 m) long. Its total volume should be 128 cubic feet (3.5 cubic meters).  Note that the exact amount of solid wood in a cord will vary based on the size of each piece, but most cords of firewood average 85 cubic feet (2.4 cubic meters) of solid wood. The remaining volume is taken up by air. The entire length of the pile should be 8 feet (2.4 m), but the length of each piece of wood matches the width or depth of the pile and should average about 4 feet (1.2 m). Even though the cord is the standard unit of measurement when selling wood, most firewood dealers do not sell 4-ft (1.2-m) long pieces of wood to home consumers. As a result, other cord-based terminology is often introduced. A face cord is the next most common unit of measurement. It refers to any stack of wood that is 4 feet (1.2 m) high and 8 feet (2.4 m) long. The depth or width of the pile is less than 4 feet (1.2 m), which means that each piece of wood in the pile is less than 4 feet (1.2 m) long.  There is no single agreed upon length for pieces of wood in a face cord. On average, the length of most firewood is 16 inches (40.6 cm), so the depth of most face piles is 16 inches (40.6 cm). This is one-third the depth of a full cord. Other piece lengths can also be used, however, so you'll need to make sure that you find out how long the average piece in a face cord is before you make the purchase. While "face cord" is the most common terminology used to describe piles like this, "stove cord,”  "furnace cord," “run,” and “rick” are also used and refer to the same thing. A thrown cord or loose thrown cord is a rough measurement of volume on wood that has been tossed or dumped into a truck, rather than stacked into neat, compact piles.  A loose thrown cord should take up about 180 cubic feet (6.66 cubic yards or 5.1 cubic meters) of space as is. The idea is that, when stacked, the total volume would equal roughly 128 cubic...

Article in English: A full course meal can have anywhere from three to twenty courses. However, most modern hosts and hostesses limit themselves to six courses. If you do too many, you might not have time to prepare everything properly or spend time with your guests. Remember that each course will require its own plate or bowl and silverware. Make sure you have enough of each to serve your courses.  A three-course meal usually has an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert. A four course meal might include a soup, an appetizer, a main course, and dessert. A five course meal can include a soup, an appetizer, a salad, a main course, and a dessert. A six course meal usually includes an amuse-bouche, a soup, an appetizer, a salad, a main course, and a dessert. A seven course meal includes an amuse-bouche, a soup, an appetizer, a salad, a main course, a dessert, and a mignardise with coffee or tea. This course is usually presented before the soup or appetizer and is served on small appetizer plates. These dishes consist of one or two savory bites of food that can give a hint of flavors to come. Popular amuse-bouche dishes include:  Creamy deviled eggs   Herb-infused cream cheese spread onto a slice of toasted crostini Slices of roasted peaches on small wedges of creamy brie This course is usually served before the appetizer or in place of an appetizer. This dish is served in a small soup bowl and eaten with a rounded soup spoon. Your soup choice may vary by season. For example:  In the summer, consider serving a cold gazpacho soup.  In the winter, serve a warm, creamy lobster bisque. This course is referred to as the entrée in many parts of Europe as it introduces the main courses in a meal. These dishes are usually served on small appetizer plates and feature small cuts of meat, seasonal vegetables, starches, and sauces. For example:  Serve a few pieces of fried ravioli with a side of marinara sauce. Bake button mushrooms stuffed with breadcrumbs and seasoning. Give your guests a few miniature crab cakes with tartar sauce. In some...

Article in English: A functional resume is any that emphasizes skills and abilities and de-emphasizes the chronology.  This shift in focus may be helpful in the following situations:  You are changing careers or focus and you wish to feature skills and accomplishments that weren't central to recent jobs, such as older experience, volunteer experience, or skills developed outside  of work. You have an interruption in your work or your career has recently taken a detour You can better customize your resume to the job you are seeking by de-emphasizing the chronology. Write down skills and accomplishments.  Don't worry at this stage which ones are relevant.  You can sort and edit later.  Don't forget anything that might help, including:  Volunteer experience. Experience working in another country, industry, or job function. Education, academic background, and on-the-job training. Skills, especially computers and language skills. Clubs and community affiliations. Hobby, craft, and do-it-yourself know-how. What is the very best, most relevant selling point on your resume? Are you a computer whiz?  Do you have an impressive degree? Do you have years of experience doing something related to the jobs you want?  Give your strongest asset top billing.  You might also subdivide your experience into groups; for instance general people skills and more concrete accomplishments. Rather than a section for each job, have a section for each sort of experience or skill you can offer.  Computer skills, education, and experience are the obvious divisions.  When listing experience, begin each line with an active verb. It adds punch to the writing and gives the list a consistent tone and structure. If you can, focus on problems you've solved and specific results you've achieved.  Did you save somebody money?  Did you accomplish something more than your job description?

Article in English: A gable is a triangular piece of wood that sits on top of the front and back walls of the coop, supporting the roof. Therefore, in this case, both gables should be 4 feet (1.2 m) long. Use a Jigsaw to cut the gables out of 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) thick oriented strand board.  Use an angle finder to determine the exact pitch of the roof. If you don't have an angle finder, you can eyeball the pitch (just make sure it's the same for both gables!) Notch the gables. In order for the gables to fit correctly, you'll need to make notches where you reinforced the openings. If the wood you used for the front is exactly the same size as the back, you can make exactly the same cut on both gables. However, if you used scrap wood, you'll need to make unique cuts for each gable. Place the front gable against the inside of the front wall and attach it using construction glue and screws. Repeat for the back gable. It's okay if there is a little bit of wiggle room between the reinforcement wood and the notches. The important thing is that the gable is sturdy once attached to the wall. The truss, like a gable, supports the roof. However, rather than supporting the ends of the roof, the truss supports the middle. To ensure that the angle of your truss matches the angle of your gables, clamp two 2x2s to the slanted edges of one of your gables. Be sure that the 2x2s hang slightly longer (2 to 4 inches) than the edges of the gable. Strengthen your truss by cutting a crosstie from 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) thick plywood. Cut it to the same measurements as your gable, and then screw it to the 2x2s. Once you've screwed the crosstie to the 2x2s, you can remove the clamps. Rest the truss in the middle of the coop and mark where the side walls intersect the 2x2s of the truss. Then, make a 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) notch in the wood where you put each mark. This will allow you to slip the truss onto the top of the side walls. To make a simple roof, join two 40 inch (101.6 cm) by 84 inch (213.4 cm) pieces of plywood with some inexpensive hinges. Be sure to join...

Article in English: A garden pond often has multiple levels, to facilitate a waterfall and provide a place for a pump. If you choose to install electric devices the pond should be located close enough to your home that you’ll have access to electricity. Use a shovel to dig a large hole according to the size and depth you have chosen.  If you plan to install a pump, dig a second deeper hole of about 10 inches at the center of the pond. Create a second level for aquatic plants by digging a shallower shelf around the perimeter of the pond. You may also use a preformed pond shape, available at garden stores. These are often shaped like a bean and have multiple levels. If you’re using a preformed pond, adjust the hole you dig to its proportions. First line the pond with a layer of sand, making sure to cover every crevice. Next add a layer of biodegradable materials, such as newspapers or burlap. Cover this layer with a large piece of waterproof pond liner. This should cover the entire pond and the edges around it. If you’re including a pump, install it in the deeper center pit so that the hose extends to the surface of the pond. You may also install a filter or a skimmer. Consult with the manufacturer of the device you choose for detailed instructions on how to install it. Always make sure the pump is on its own circuit and plugged into a GFCI receptacle. Do not put the pump directly on the ground as this will make the pump subject to dirt and debris that falls into the pond because it is in the deepest area. Elevate the pump with a bucket or a garden pot by at least 3 in. (8.62 cm). Trim pond liner so that it overlaps the edge of the pond by about eight inches (20 cm). Dig a shallow shelf under the liner, lay the liner edges flat, and set heavy, flat stones on top of the liner around the edge of the pond. Large stones and flagstone work well for this purpose.  Make sure the stones are set a few inches into the ground, so that they will be level with the surface of the pond when it is filled. If the stones are large and heavy, it is...

Article in English: A gas cooktop will require a gas line to bring fuel to the burners. If you are replacing an existing gas cooktop then you should already have a gas line installed. If you do not have a gas line then you should hire a professional to install one for you. It is particularly important for a gas line to be installed properly because leaks can cause fires and be dangerous for people breathing in the gas. Removing the doors and drawers can help make it easier to access the space under the cooktop. You will also need to remove any items from the cabinets to access the gas line and hose. To remove cabinet doors you can unscrew the hinges holding them in place. There will be a small valve where the flexible hose of the cooktop attaches to the built-in gas line of the house. Turn this valve so that it is perpendicular to the hose, or so that it sticks out to the side.  If you do not close the valve properly, it will release gas when you unhook the hose and can cause suffocation and/or fires. When the gas line is open the handle on the valve will be pointing in the direction of gas flow. It is very important to turn this valve 90 degrees to close the valve. Many gas cooktops have power cords to provide electricity to light the burners. You must unplug this power cable from the outlet before proceeding. Even though you have switched off the gas valve, there may still be gas trapped in the hose. Turn on all the burners to release this trapped gas. Do not light them. This will release all the extra gas after a few minutes. Turn on your range hood while you have the burners on to disperse all the gas that is released. Take one wrench and set it on the nut of the flexible gas hose and take the other wrench and set it on the nut on the wall hose.  Hold the wrench connected to the wall hose to keep it in place. Turn the wrench attached to the flexible gas hose counterclockwise to unscrew. Continue turning counterclockwise until the hose is completely detached from the wall pipe. Some wall pipes will have a special fitting that...

Article in English: A general purpose, squeeze-style nutcracker can be used to crack the pecan shells.  Place the nut between the arms of the nutcracker and squeeze gently until you hear a crack. Don't squeeze too hard, or you will break the nut meat inside. Rotate the nut between the arms of the nutcracker and squeeze again. Continue rotating and squeezing along the length of the nut until the shell becomes loose enough to remove. This is another quick and easy method for shelling pecans, which uses a side cutters and pliers.  Take your side cutters and use them to snip off the two pointed ends of the pecan shell, into a bowl beneath. Then take your pliers (any type will do), place the nut between the jaws, and gently crack around the middle of the shell, rotating the nut until the shell comes loose. If you need to crack a large quantity of pecans, it may be worth your while to invest in a specialized pecan cracker, which looks kind of like a tabletop vice.  These devices allow you to crack pecans quickly and efficiently, without cracking or breaking the nut meat. While most household pecan crackers are operated by hand, you can also purchase motorized pecan crackers (from brands like Kinetic Kracker) for even faster shelling. If you do not have any tools, you can use the squeezing method to crack the pecan shells. To do this, take two nuts and place them in one hand. Close your fist around the nuts, squeezing them together until one shell cracks enough to peel off. One of the simplest methods of cracking pecan shells is just to use a hammer and a hard surface.  Place the nut on a hard, solid surface and hit it with the hammer. You may need to rotate the nut to hit it in a second spot. Mind your fingers!  Although this method is quick, it tends to break the nut meat, leaving you with fragmented pieces of pecan. If you're looking for whole pecan halves, you'd be better off using another method. Once you have cracked the shell using your chosen method, you will need to carefully remove the nut meat from the broken shell, keeping...

Article in English: A general rule of thumb you can follow year-round is running your filter dependent on the temperature. In the winter, you’ll be running it 6 or fewer hours, while in the summer, you might have to go a full 12. If you’re experiencing temperatures of 80 °F (27 °C) or greater, you should be running your filter about 10-12 hours regardless. These warm temperatures are when algae is most likely to start growing in your pool water. Run the filter with chlorine the entire length of the day in these cases to avoid any chances of algae turning up in your pool. Although running your filter at night may save you energy, it does nothing to prevent the algae from forming during the day when it’s actually got a chance to, unlike at night. Your pool filter is intended to be run for up to 12 hours a day consistently. You can run it on its lower settings normally, and then on the higher settings when you’re adding the chlorine or other cleansers to the water.  This way, you’ll be ensuring you’re filtering out the entire contents of your pool at least 2 times a day. If you have a small filter, you will need to run the filter longer depending on how many gallons the filter can process in a given time. Don’t worry about running it for too long, it’s better to overrun your filter than not run for long enough. Over the course of a pool’s life, you’ll need to have the filters cleaned out if they’re dirty or clogged with debris. Otherwise, you may find you’re having to run your filters for longer to achieve the same effect. Here are instructions detailing how to Clean a Cartridge Type Swimming Pool Filter.

Summary in Russian:

Ориентировочно фильтр следует включать по часу на каждые 2,5 градуса температуры воздуха (в Цельсиях). Старайтесь запускать фильтр в дневное время, когда температура воды в бассейне становится самой высокой. Не бойтесь спокойно включать фильтрацию на 10–12 часов в дневное время. Чистите или заменяйте картриджи фильтра после длительного периода использования.


Article in English: A general spray-on carpet shampoo will work well enough for the carpet in your car. You should also use a stiff bristle brush, like a stiff tire brush made with soft plastic. To avoid having to soak and re-soak the car's carpet, focus your attention on one area of the car before moving onto the next, rather than shampooing the entire car at once. Oftentimes, people find it easiest to start with the driver's side floor before moving across the front of the car to the passenger's side, then circling around to the back. These must be cleaned separately from the rest of the car's carpet. Problematic stains like tar or oil may not be removed sufficiently by simple carpet shampoo. Use a cleaning product specifically geared toward treating these heavy stains to pre-treat the carpet before shampooing it. Follow the directions on the cleaner's label. Usually, you will need to spray or dab the stain lifter directly onto the stain, covering it completely. Allow it to soak for several minutes before washing. Spray an all-purpose cleaner or carpet shampoo on them, depending on whether or not there is any fabric on the mats. Scrub them with a stiff brush, rinse, and hang vertically to dry them out. Wait until they and your carpet are clean before putting the mats back in the car. Apply an even spray along each area of the carpet as you work. Work the compound into the carpet using your brush. You can use a little excess shampoo on areas with tougher stains, but avoid over-applying the shampoo. Car carpets tend to be moisture-resistant, but if soaked, they can develop mildew with relative ease. After scrubbing the shampoo into the carpet and allowing it ample time to sit according to label directions—usually only several minutes—scrub extra moisture out of the carpet by firmly pressing a clean, dry towel along the freshly treated carpet. Move the towel along the carpet in a single direction, rather than scrubbing back and forth. Continue until the majority of dampness is removed, and allow the carpet to air dry the rest of...

Article in English: A generalizing hypothesis describes a pattern you think may exist between two variables: an independent variable and a dependent variable. If your experiments confirm the pattern, you may decide to suggest a reason that the pattern exists or a mechanism that generates the pattern. The reason or mechanism you suggest is an explanatory hypothesis.  You can think of the independent variable as the one that is causing some kind of difference or effect to occur. In the examples, the independent variable would be biological sex, i.e. whether a person is male or female, and fertilizer type, i.e. whether the fertilizer is organic or non-organically-based. The dependent variable is what is affected by (i.e. "depends" on) the independent variable. In the examples above, the dependent variable would be the measured impact of caffeine or fertilizer. Your hypothesis should only suggest one relationship. Most importantly, it should only have one independent variable. If you have more than one, you won't be able to determine which one is actually the source of any effects you might observe. Once you've spent some time thinking about your research question and variables, write down your initial idea about how the variables might be related as a simple declarative statement.  Don't worry too much at this point about being precise or detailed. In the examples above, one hypothesis would make a statement about whether a person's biological sex might impact the way the person is affected by caffeine; for example, at this point, your hypothesis might simply be: "a person's biological sex is related to how caffeine affects his or her heart rate." The other hypothesis would make a general statement about plant growth and fertilizer; for example your simple explanatory hypothesis might be "plants given different types of fertilizer are different sizes because they grow at different rates." Hypotheses can either be directional or non-directional. A non-directional hypothesis simply says that one variable affects the other in some...

Article in English: A genotype is the heritable, genetic code of an individual. An individual’s genotype comes from the alleles on the two chromosomes inherited from their parent. An allele is the specific form of a gene. For example, a gene codes for hair color but one allele could code for blonde hair, while another codes for brown hair.  Every individual has two chromosomes with two alleles that make their genotype so it is represented with two letters. Capital letters indicate dominant alleles while lowercase letters represent recessive alleles.  It doesn’t matter what letter you choose to represent your gene of interest, so choose something that makes sense to you. Usually, the first letter of the dominant allele is used. For example, B represents the dominant gene for brown hair and b represents the recessive gene for blonde hair. As its name suggests a Punnett square is just a divided square. Draw your square and divide it into four smaller squares by drawing two lines (one horizontal and one vertical) through the center of the square.  Leave enough room in each box for two letters. Also, leave room at the top and left side of the square. For example, let’s say the mother has brown hair and a genotype of Bb, then you would put a B over the top left-hand square and a b over the top right-hand square.  It doesn’t matter where you put each parent’s genotype. Only one letter goes above each column. For example, if the father also has brown hair, but his genotype is BB, you would put one B to the left of the upper left-hand square, and another B to the left of the lower left-hand square.

Article in English: A gentle, yet slightly abrasive cleanser (like toothpaste) is great for cleaning dry erase erasers. Apply a line of toothpaste to the bottom of each eraser you want to clean. Using a wet washcloth, scrub the eraser in a circular motion. Try to spread the toothpaste across the whole eraser. Be aware that the ink is likely to stain the washcloth you are using. Hold each eraser under warm running water until all ink and toothpaste is removed and the water runs clear. Then set the erasers outside in direct sunlight for 1-2 hours until they are dry.

Article in English: A gentleman looks and smells pleasant when out in public. It is one thing to sweat while working out, but not while out and about. Take regular care of your body and that you look polished and clean before you step out.  Make sure to bathe regularly. When applying deodorant or cologne, be sparing. An overpowering odor--even of cologne or body spray--is not pleasant, and can be offensive. Use of hair product is fine, but be careful of hair gel. This product can be sticky and get rock hard after a while, making your hair look stiff. You can also inadvertently come off as "greasy".   If you don’t smell clean and fresh, then it doesn’t really matter how charming you are or how your clothes look. It’s important to get the hygiene down so people don’t get distracted by an unpleasant odor or appearance. Wash your hands after you use the bathroom. A gentleman cares for himself and others by preventing spread of disease. Also, other men in the washroom will notice if you bypass the sinks. Wear clothes that fit your body well, eliminate flashy clothing and avoid fashion "faux pas" (e.g. baseball hats cocked slightly to the side). A simpler wardrobe will keep the emphasis on you, not your clothes, which will change your appearance. Keep it simple, and you’ll look elegant and gentlemanly.  Stick to subdued blacks, grays, blues and browns. A gentleman can actually wear any color in moderation, but the classic colors for men are not bright. Choose classic clothing for men. Examples include suits, oxford-style shirts, khaki pants. Wear athletic clothes only for workouts or athletics. A gentleman will not wear his suit while hiking through the Alps, or practicing for his black belt, or playing tennis. But he will avoid wearing his tennis clothes unless he is going to, from, or playing tennis. What is considered "flashy" will vary from culture to culture, and situation. A white linen suit and pink shirt may be fashionable on a tropical island, but be regarded as quite flashy at a corporate board meeting in England. It’s very...

Article in English: A girl likes to have confirmation that you are interested in her, and following up after messaging or chatting in a chat room gives her that reassurance.  When you get busy with your personal life and cannot respond for a period of time, send her a quick message to let her know you are still thinking about her and will respond more in-depth when you have more time. If you are trying to chat with the same girl in an online chat room on more than one occasion, be on the lookout for her username. When you feel comfortable, ask her for her email address for more private and consistent communication. Continue to flirt with her online until you feel comfortable enough to take the online relationship to the next step. If you are able to meet with this girl in person (online chat rooms, for example, connect you with people from all over the world), then choose a public place to do so in order to make her feel comfortable.  Dinner dates feel intimidating to some women for first dates, so an afternoon date might be more her style. Choose an activity that is laid back and will not add to the pressure of a first date. For example, seeing a local band play or painting clay pottery gives you something else to focus on to take pressure off of making conversation the entire time. Be willing to accommodate whatever time she suggests, as well as ideas that she has for what you can do on your date. Show her that you welcome and appreciate her input and sense of security. If you ask her out on a date and she turns you down because she still feels uncomfortable, give it more time if you are genuinely interested in her.  Taking more time to get to know her and make her feel comfortable will result in a date when she is ready. Suggest moving your conversation to personal email or phone numbers via text messaging or calling. This gives you a new way to communicate with her and help her feel more comfortable. Show her that you are willing to wait for her by continuing to chat with her, taking an interest in her life and her story,...

Article in English: A glottal stop is the linguistic term for dropping the sound of the letter “t” from the middle of a word. You can do the same with the letter “k” in the middle of a word, as well.  "Scottish," for instance, would be pronounced "Sco'ish." “Blackboard” becomes “bla'board.” The Cockney accent doesn't put emphasis on the “h” sound when it is the first letter in a word. So, for example, pronounce “herb” as "erb," "horse" as "orse," and "hopefully" as "opefully." Like most English accents, a Cockney accent drops the “r” from the end of a word. For example, "mother" becomes "mo-thah," and "car" becomes "cah." ” For words that start with a “th” sound, like “think,” change the “th” to an “f,” as in “fink.” “Thought” becomes “fought,” and “thirsty” becomes “firsty.” For words that have a “th” sound in the middle, like “Northern,” replace it with a “v” sound, such as “Norvern.” " The typical short “a” sound is evidenced by the word “cat.” Change your short “a” to sound more like the “a” in "father," for words with a short “a” sound in the middle, like "bath" and "can't." When an “l” sound is at the end of a word, you can substitute the “l” for a vowel sound, like “w.” For instance, “pal” would sound like “pow,” and “trouble” becomes “trou-bow.” A Cockney accent is very informal, and often leaves off the “g” in words that end with “ing.” For instance, "starting" becomes "startin'" and "laughing" becomes "laughin'." To speak with a Cockney accent, occasionally substitute grammatically-incorrect words for grammatically-correct words. For example, say "ain't" instead of "isn't" or "is not," and use "me" instead of "my." You can also use double negatives, like “I didn't see nothin' there!” For example, say "I'm goin' to walk the dog with me mum," or "I ain't lookin' forward to the meetin' on Monday."

Article in English: A glucometer is a small, battery-powered medical device used to check the glucose level in your blood.  If you don’t have a glucometer at home, you can have your blood glucose level checked at a hospital. Each glucometer comes with test strips. Extra test strips can be purchased at any drugstore. This is a quick piercing action and takes only a second to complete. This should not hurt, and will be unnoticeable within a minute. The lancet should prick one droplet of your blood. You can then drop or place the blood gently on to the test strip for the glucometer to read. The glucometer will take a few moments to read.  To confirm hypoglycemia, your blood sugar level will have a result of less than 70 mg/dl. The normal blood glucose level is between 70 mg/dl (grams per liter) to 110 mg/dl. Another level determinant is in mmol (millimoles per liter). A normal blood sugar level is at 4.4 mmol - 6.1 mmols. When the sugar level is above 6.1 mmols, the patient is hyperglycemic. When it is below 4.1 mmol, the patient is hypoglycemic.

Article in English: A goatee is a good beard to grow if you have a weak chin, or a rounder face. It can help cover up and fill out that part of your face. A goatee is a versatile beard that can look good on many faces, though you may find another beard type that will look better on you. The starker the contrast, the more dramatic your goatee will appear. If the colors are close together, you may want to consider another kind of facial hair style if distinctive and noticeable is what you are going for. Traditionally, a goatee refers only to the hair that grows off your chin, which hangs down like that of a goat. There are other forms of beards that use hair on the chin, and are sometimes referred to as “goatees.” You’ll want to choose the one that best enhances your face, and that you are best prepared to take care of. Look through magazines and websites for pictures of goatee variations that you might want to experiment with. This is a goatee with a disconnected mustache. When wearing a Van Dyke, the rest of your cheeks should be completely shaved and smooth. If you grow a Van Dyke, you’ll want to take special care that it stays trim, as it looks better when the beard is more defined. This is a goatee connected to a mustache that grows in a circle around your mouth. This is a fuller beard, but not so much that it covers your whole face. A circle beard is a great choice for a man with a softer jaw line, or if you have a squarish face or jaw. Because it has a lot of hair, a circle beard can also help to cover up skin breakouts. This look combines a goatee with a Hungarian mustache. This is a more labor intensive beard, but definitely a distinctive one. With a Musketeer, you’ll want to keep your goatee trim, but let it grow a little longer down your chin. Because of the thickness, you’ll want to use some wax or conditioner to help the hair keep its shape.

They need only be about 3" (7.5 cm) in diameter. Draw the letter of your turtle on the white paper (in the appropriate color) and attach to the cardboard. You can identify which turtle you are by having a headband, armbands, and leg bands in your turtles color. Where the headband across your forehead, the armbands around your bicep, and the leg bands around your calf. If your ribbon is wide enough, you could always cut eye holes in it and use it as a mask instead! Again, do this in your turtle's color. This is a simple alternative to having to mess with a bandana wrapped around your head that you still have to see out of. Paint up to the eyebrow, just below the eye, a thin bridge around the nose, and lines to the ears. Their masks weren't that wide. Now it's time to go to town with quilt batting or pillow stuffing -- unless you already have the body of a body builder. Stuff your chest, biceps, and thighs. Sculpt it to your liking.

Article in English: A good app focuses on one thing and does it well. Determine the need that your app will be addressing. This will help you figure out what your audience is, as well as the types of features it should include.  For example, if you're creating an app for your business, determine which facets of your business should be addressed by the app. You may want to allow the user to quickly contact technical support, or allow them to pull up the nearest location of your business. If your app gets too complicated, there's a good chance that any app creation program you choose will not be powerful enough. Complex apps will typically require custom coding and art design. Apps live and die by their design and usability. Take some time to create some initial sketches of what each screen of the app will look like. Use arrows to show how each screen will transition to the next.  These sketches don't need to be detailed, but should include all of the information that you want to include in each screen. Try to keep a unified design throughout the app. Similar elements should generally be in the same location on each screen. This will make the app feel more natural for the user. Browse through the Google Play Store and look for apps that are similar to what you are trying to accomplish. Play around with them and see what works and what doesn't. Don't be afraid to crib design ideas and flow from the better apps that you find.

Article in English: A good art exhibition should be characterized by a prominent theme that ties the different pieces together and makes them feel like part of a larger whole. Think carefully about the message you want your exhibition to convey. It could be an image or phenomenon, a feeling or a certain visual technique.  The more specific your theme, the better. For instance, “Black and White” is too general to make much of an impact, whereas “Isolation and Womanhood” explores a far more interesting pairing of ideas. Consider giving your exhibition a name. A catchy title like “Neon Daydreams” will help generate attention and point more clearly to the theme being presented. Pick out a few of your best or most recent pieces to put on display. If you’re holding a solo exhibit meant to highlight your own work, you’ll need to have anywhere from 10-30 individual pieces to show. The theme of the exhibition should be represented in each production.  Spend the months leading up to the exhibition creating original pieces that you can unveil for the first time on opening night.  Plan on exhibiting more pieces if the work you do tends to be on the small side. Do some research into other artists in your area and see whether they would be interested in taking part in your exhibition. Collaborative efforts can be a great opportunity for many different artists to showcase their art at the same event, resulting in a more diverse and well-rounded display.  Narrow your focus to artists who have a similar style or tend to produce works related to the theme you’re presenting. Holding an exhibition in conjunction with other artists will also allow you to split the cost of the venue, licensing expenses, framing and promotional materials.  Be sure to give other artists proper credit for the works they've contributed. Your exhibition doesn’t have to exclusively feature paintings or sketches. Feel free to solicit works from photographers, sculptors, and other types of visual artists. A wide-ranging selection of works will lend collaborations a dynamic...

Article in English: A good bra supports and lifts your breasts, and this will increase the amount of cleavage you can show. If you don’t know your bra size, you can either measure your bra size on your own, or you can have a professional bra fitter or tailor measure you. Underwire supports the breasts and gives them a slight, natural boost. Avoid bras without an underwire. These offer less lift and support, and will make creating cleavage more difficult. These usually come in fabric, silicone, or foam, and can add a little extra volume to your chest.  Silicone bra inserts (sometimes called “chicken cutlets”) come in a wide variety of styles that fit comfortably inside most bras. Silicone inserts will look and feel the most like a real breast.  Fabric and foam inserts feel less realistic, but are soft and can help create the appearance of an ample bosom. A push-up bra has a little extra padding at the bottom of the cup, helping to naturally enhance your bust line.  Look for a push-up bra made with minimal fabric that cups the breast properly. Push-up bras made with too much fabric do not look as natural, and may overwhelm your bust instead of creating attractive cleavage. You can create and accentuate cleavage with a couple of simple, temporary bra adjustments. Try twisting the front of your bra, clipping the back two straps together, or even wearing two bras to create some cleavage.  Twist the small piece of material between the cups once, and then put the bra on as you normally would. The small twist will bring the cups closer together and give you some cleavage. Use a safety pin or hair tie to fasten the two back straps of your bra together towards the top of your back. This will create a sort of halter in front, lifting your breasts and bringing them closer together.  Wear two bras for extra volume and lift in your chest. The first bra you put on should push your breasts together (try the twisting technique if you don’t have a bra that naturally does this). The second bra should be one that provides lift, like a push-up bra....
