Article in English: Look for puffiness around the kneecap or around the sides of the knee. Comparing your two knees is a good way to check to see if there is swelling or redness and to see if is something wrong.  There might also be swelling at the back of your knee. This could signal a Baker's cyst, which is when extra fluid is pushed into tissue behind your knee. It can cause swelling at the back of your knee which may worsen when you stand up.  If your affected knee is redder and warmer to the touch than the other knee, see your doctor. If you have discomfort when you move your leg, you may have some level of injury that needs to be treated. You may feel this discomfort as pain, pressure or stiffness. The stiffness and/or pressure will most likely be due to fluid in your knee. An injured leg may be painful to stand on. Try putting your weight on your leg and walking to see if your leg can handle load bearing exercise. While you may be able to diagnose swelling in your knee, you may not know the exact cause behind the swelling. It's best to check with your doctor if the swelling is persistent, painful, or doesn't go away in a couple of days. Some possible conditions that cause knee swelling include: an injury such as a torn ligament or cartilage; irritation from exerting your knee too much; osteoporosis; rheumatoid arthritis; gout; infection; bursitis; or other conditions.

Article in English: Look for signs of struggle as you place the net around the fish's body. If your fish is just sleeping, they'll wake up and try to wiggle their way out of the net. If they don't, they could be dead or very sick. Check the gills for most species. If they're not moving, the fish isn't breathing. Bettas and other labyrinth fish breathe through their mouths. If your fish is from this family, watch their bodies for up and down movements. Look at the eye as a whole. If they're sunken, your fish is dead or near death. Look for cloudy pupils, which is also a sign of death in most aquarium fish. If your fish is a pufferfish, walleye, rabbit fish, or scorpionfish, occasional eye cloudiness might actually be normal. However, you should contact your vet if the cloudiness persists for several days. Do this if your fish has jumped out of the tank. Look for cracking of the skin as you pick up the body. Feel the body to see if it has dried out. These signs are only present in dead fish.

Article in English: Look for slightly discolored, pin-like raised red dots that are about 0.2 cm to 0.5 cm in diameter (bed bug bites usually come in long lines of red dots). You may also see hives or wheals that are significantly redder than the surrounding skin. If you’re experiencing a more rare, severe case, you might even find blisters larger than 0.5 cm in diameter that have developed on bed bug bites. 1 centimeter equals 0.4 inches. If you wake up with fresh bug bites or itchy welts, you likely have bed bugs. See if they look and feel like mosquito or flea bites -- bed bug bites are often red and slightly swollen, itchy and irritating like other bug bites. Look for a series of bites that appear in a line or a random grouping of bites. These appear because bed bugs will bite several times a night. If you’re experiencing new bites during the day, it’s likely not bed bugs. Look for bites on skin that is exposed when you’re sleeping. Also check for bites under loose clothing. Note that bed bugs will avoid the soles of your feet, so any bites there are less likely to be from bed bugs. If you’re allergic to bed bugs, you might find that you develop hives or a rash similar to eczema or a fungal infection. Also check to see if the bites are getting larger, are painfully swelling, or even exuding a pus. These are also common signs of an allergy to bed bug bites.  Note that it can take up to two weeks for your body to fully react to a bed bug bite. Consult a doctor if you develop a severe reaction to the bite.

Article in English: Look for styles in bold colors, or those with some embellishment or decoration. Opt for closed-toe pumps or open-toe pumps over strappy styles. Thin, extremely high heels are generally associated with sexiness. Consider “kitten heels” or other lower varieties to keep a ladylike appearance. Scarves are in style, and they come in a variety of colors, patterns, and looks. They also have the added benefit of covering more skin at the base of your neck and top of your chest. There is a broad range of fashionable hat styles, ranging from the fedora to the newsboy cap to the bucket hat. Look for one that suits the shape of your face and your personal taste. Buy a few in that style and wear them when you go out for an added, modest boost of style. Wear one key piece at a time, or coordinate multiple pieces at once to bring color to your entire ensemble. Let your imagination run free while selecting watches, necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings. Stay away from non-traditional pieces, however, like lip rings, eyebrow rings, and tongue rings. Nearly any standard purse will be a modest accessory. Look for a medium size in a neutral color for the most versatility, or mix things up by carrying around a large shoulder bag in a bold color.

Summary in Russian:

Примеряйте каблуки, стильные ботинки и обувь на плоской подошве. Предпочтите туфли, которые выглядят классическими, туфлям, которые выглядят сексуально. Подумайте над высотой каблука и его толщиной. Подберите модный шарф. Наденьте шляпу. Надевайте цветные украшения. Наденьте стильную сумку через плечо.


Article in English: Look for symptoms such as an inability to eat or sinking immediately after swimming to the top of the tank. This will be difficult to watch, but you should treat your fish like any other companion animal. Sit by the aquarium. Talk to your fish, if that's what you usually do. Clove oil is a sedative and is the most humane way to end the suffering of a dying fish. You can buy it in most drug stores. Place only the dying fish in 1 litre (0.26 US gal) of water. Add 400 mg of clove oil to the water. Within 10 minutes, the fish will lose oxygen and die peacefully. Use an aquarium net to scoop out the dead fish. If you can't find the body, don't worry. The body itself won't harm the other fish and will decompose naturally. Fish parasites and diseases require living hosts. If you think your fish died of a disease, their tankmates might already be infected. Monitor them for symptoms. If they don't look sick or develop symptoms after a few days, they were strong enough to fight off the disease. A dead fish flushed into a non-native habitat could harm native marine life. Dispose of a dead fish in the garbage or bury them outside. If the fish is large, burial is usually best. Check your local laws to make sure they'll allow you to bury a pet fish.

Summary in Russian:

Проведите время рядом с умирающей рыбкой. Усыпите испытывающую страдания рыбку. Если есть возможность, уберите погибшую рыбу из аквариума. Не смывайте мертвых рыб в канализацию, если сточные воды выходят в водоемы.


Article in English: Look for text written in bold or italics, or off-set in a chart or graph. Also look for sections at the end of each chapter that condenses the key concepts from that unit. Information presented in any of these ways tends to be of the highest importance when teachers prepare a test on that chapter or section.  If you're studying a creative work, such as a play or novel, look for patterns and themes. Motifs (elements that carry additional meaning, such as darkness, blood, gold) may repeat across the text, suggesting that they're important to pay attention to. “Big ideas” are also good to focus on. If your teacher permits it, you can use a study guide such as Cliffs Notes or Shmoop to help you understand the plot, so that you can focus on more important themes and patterns. Don't rely on these guides to tell you everything you need to know! Use them only as supplements to other study and reading techniques. Now that you've skimmed the chapter and made note of the key concepts, read the whole section at least once, paying attention to details and taking notes along the way. This will allow you to understand the material and contextualize that chapter within the larger unit. Active reading, which involves asking questions of the reading and taking notes, is proven to be more effective and efficient than passively reading through just to finish the chapter.  Draw a bracket around key concepts in the chapter, and circle any terms or names you're not familiar with. Write questions in the margins as you read, then find the answers to those questions. This will help you make better sense of the material and will help you remember those concepts more concretely.  Remember that restating can also condense and focus. As you restate, make sure you pay attention to what seems most important. For example, consider this passage: “Students frequently overuse direct quotation in taking notes, and as a result they overuse quotations in the final [research] paper. Probably only about 10% of your final manuscript should appear as...

Article in English: Look for the "HDMI" or "HDMI Out" label and fit the cable securely into the socket. This is the highest quality connection for audio and video and is typically found only on modern DVD players. Just like DVD players, only newer TV's have HDMI sockets. There may be multiple sockets available. Each HDMI socket will be labeled "HDMI" or "HDMI In" along with a potential input number. If there is an input number, like "HDMI 1," remember it for later. This is the setting your TV must be set at to see your movies. An HDMI connection only requires one cable that carries both audio and video signal, and it does not matter which end goes where. But if the cable is pulled too tightly, or one of the connections is loose, you may not get a good signal. There are a lot of different HDMI cords available, but unless you want pristine, perfect picture then any length and type of cord will work just fine as long as it reaches. Insert a DVD so that you can test both the picture and the audio. Sometimes labeled "input," this button allows you to switch where your TV gets the video and sound information. The input you choose on the TV should match the input you used for the cables. If there is not a label or you don't know what input to use, leave the DVD player on and test each input for 5-10 seconds to see where the video appears.

Summary in Russian:

Подключите один конец кабеля к разъему HDMI в DVD-плеере. Подключите другой конец кабеля к разъему HDMI в телевизоре. Убедитесь в надежности подключения кабеля. Включите DVD-плеер и телевизор. Переключите телевизор на получение сигнала с соответствующего разъема.


Article in English: Look for the "Storage and iCloud Usage" tab. For Android, find the "Storage" tab and select it. Under "Storage" (which covers your phone's internal hard drive) and "iCloud" (which covers your online-based cloud storage), you can see how much memory you are currently using and how much is remaining. If you have an Android with an SD card, you'll have a drive option for your phone's internal storage as well as the card. These different drives are under "Internal Storage" and "SD Card", respectively. This will tell you your hard drive's total capacity for file storage  Note that a portion of the hard drive is dedicated to the operating system and other non-retrievable system files, so your actual total space won't quite match the number associated with your phone model (e.g. 32GB, 64GB) You can also view your phone's effective storage capacity and currently available space under the "About" tab in the "General" menu. This feature shows you how memory is being used by apps, images, or other information. Use this feature to clear up space. For example, if you see that several gigabytes of your used space come from saved conversations, you can free up that space by deleting those conversations.

Article in English: Look for the blue chat bubble icon containing a white lightning bolt. It should be on your home screen, or in the app drawer if you’re using an Android. Blocking your messages is not the same as blocking you on Facebook. When a person blocks your messages, you’ll remain friends with them on Facebook and will be able to interact on one another’s timelines. They can also unblock you at any time. It’s at the top of the screen. A list of names that match what you’ve typed will appear. This opens a chat with that person. It’s at the bottom of the chat. It looks like a paper airplane. If you see a pop-up message that says, “This person isn’t available right now,” this person has either blocked your messages, deactivated their Facebook account, or completely blocked you on Facebook. If the message goes through without error, your messages are arriving to their destination. It’s possible that the person just hasn’t logged into to read them. If you received the error message, your final step is to figure out if their profile looks any different in the Facebook app.  Open Facebook (the blue icon with a white “f” on your home screen), then search for their name. If you can’t find their profile, they’ve either deactivated their account or blocked you completely. If their profile appears normal, they’ve only blocked your messages. If you can’t find the profile at all, there’s only one way to find out if you’ve been completely blocked—ask a mutual friend to view their profile. If the mutual friend can see the profile but you can’t, your entire Facebook account has been blocked by the user.

Article in English: Look for the freshest, most barely-ripe corn available, preferably at a farmer's market. Choose bright green husks, tightly attached to the ear. The stalks should be a light yellow and the ends of the silks a light brown. While you are at the market, don't be afraid to peel back the husks just enough to reveal a few rows of kernels. They should be white or pale yellow, look nice and plump and be tightly packed into straight rows from one end of the cob to the other.  Fresh, young corn is full of natural sugars which will caramelize beautifully over the heat of the grill. As the corn ages, these turn into much less flavorful starches.  If the ear has an unusually thick layer of husks, remove the outermost two or three before you continue. Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat, about 350–400 °F (177–204 °C). For a coal grill, arrange coals in an even layer and heat until grey. The best way to heat a gas grill is to fire it up on high, then lower it to the desired temperature. This ensures a hot rack. At this point, you may soak the ears of corn in cold water to increase juiciness and reduce the amount the husk burns. Submerge the ears completely, soak for about 15 minutes, then shake off excess moisture. If you hate the smell of burned corn husk, soak for 30–60 minutes instead. (Many people do not mind this smell, or even enjoy it.) There's no real flavor difference between adding spices now, versus waiting until it's cooked. If you go with the first option, peel back the husks just enough to expose the kernels. Brush on olive oil or room-temperature butter with a pastry brush, and season with salt, pepper, and/or savory herbs (or try these fancy options). Pull the loose husks back up over the kernels.  Tear off the silk and discard it just before seasoning. Don't melt the butter first. This can make it more difficult for herbs to stick. . Tie a piece of string or loose husk over the tip of the husk to keep it on the corn. Place the corn on a lightly oiled grill rack, either just above the coals for a...

Article in English: Look for the gaps at either end of the canvas. Slide one of the metal support rails into one of these gaps, then slide the other metal support rail into the other gap. For the time being, the long flat sides of the support rails should rest on top of the metal frame of the cot. Snap one of supporting end rails onto the knobs of both side rails.  There should be a plastic or metal knob at both ends of each side rail. There should also be two holes along one side of each support rail. Slide the support rail down past the end of the side rails. Line up the holes of the support rail so that they are directly in front of the knobs on both side rails. Firmly push the support rail toward the side rails until the holds snap on over the knobs. If done properly, the support rail should now be firmly fixed onto the side rails and should not wiggle or otherwise move around. Move to the second support rail and snap one of the holes into the knob of the corresponding side rail. You should be able to attach one side of the support rail without much difficulty, but you'll probably notice more resistance at this point than the amount you dealt with when attaching the first support rail. Pull the loose end of the second support rail over the side rail until it sits just beyond the end of the rail.  The procedure used to secure the other three corners probably won't work for the fourth and final corner. Even if you stretched the canvas out before attaching the support rails, it will usually be too stiff at this point, and that stiffness will prevent you from lifting and locking the end of the support rail onto the side rail knob. Line up the support rail with the side rail as closely as possibly during this step. If you cannot secure it using brute strength alone, move onto the next step. Use a long metal bar to lift the loose end of the second support rail onto the final side rail knob. Once the hole and knob are aligned, snap the fitting together.  An over-sized screwdriver, hammer handle, or pry bar should work for this....

Article in English: Look for the long, green, hollow leaves. These are round in shape. These are the parts of the plant that you want to use in your recipes. The chive flowers are also edible but do not have the same flavor as a chive stalk. They are best used as a garnish in a salad or soup. You can begin harvesting the chives when the leaves grow large enough to be clipped and used. This will help when it comes to harvesting. If you only have one plant, you might over harvest it by cutting the leaves before they have had enough time to grow. If you have multiple chive plants, you can harvest the leaves of one and then wait for those leaves to grow back while you harvest the leaves from another plant.

Article in English: Look for the lowest y-coordinate of the function. Let's say the function reaches its lowest point at -3. This function could also get smaller and smaller infinitely, so that it doesn't have a set lowest point -- just infinity. Let's say the highest y-coordinate that the function reaches is 10. This function could also get larger and larger infinitely, so it doesn't have a set highest point -- just infinity. This means that the range of the function, or the range of y-coordinates, ranges from -3 to 10. So, -3 ≤ f(x) ≤ 10. That's the range of the function.  But let's say the graph reaches its lowest point at y = -3, but goes upward forever. Then the range is f(x) ≥ -3 and that's it. Let's say the graph reaches its highest point at 10 but goes downward forever. Then the range is f(x) ≤ 10.

Article in English: Look for the medicine that can apply to your particular situation. For example, cough medicine for a cough or a painkiller/fever reducer (like aspirin or ibuprofen) for headache and fever. Coughs can benefit from dextromethorphan, an ingredient in some cough syrups and suppressants that can help pause coughing. Address your congestion with medicines that contain the ingredients guaifenesin and pseudoephedrine. When in doubt, ask the pharmacist. Drugstores carry an array of products that help wash out the mucus and clean your nasal passages, from decongestant sprays to neti pots. The nasal irrigation products, including a neti pot, can feel weird (you have to pour a saline solution into one nasal passage and it comes out the other) but they can be extremely helpful. Be sure to use purified or filtered water (not tap water) in making your saline solution. Sore throats will often feel much better with a cough drop, which also prevents you from coughing as much. The ingredients help coat your throat and make you more comfortable. Consult the package — you shouldn't suck them nonstop even though they might taste good.

Article in English: Look for the shortcut on your desktop. If your browser's shortcut isn't on the desktop, this part doesn't apply to you. This part doesn't apply to Microsoft Edge as you can't adjust the shortcut properties for Edge. Doing so will prompt a drop-down menu.  If your mouse doesn't have a right-click button, click the right side of the mouse, or use two fingers to click the mouse. If your computer uses a trackpad instead of a mouse, use two fingers to tap the trackpad or press the bottom-right side of the trackpad. It's at the bottom of the drop-down menu. This will open the Properties window for your browser's shortcut. You'll find it at the top of the Properties window. This text box is in the middle of the window. You should see a line of text which ends with .exe" in this text box, but there shouldn't be any text after the closing quotation mark. In order to see additional text, you may have to click once the "Target" text box to place your mouse cursor in it and then press the right arrow key to scroll right. If you spot any extra URLs or commands after the ".exe" in the Target text box, highlight and delete the extra text. This includes anything that has dashes (such as "--") followed by any keywords. It's at the bottom of the window. Doing so will save your changes and exit the Properties window. This should prevent the shortcut from launching a specific program or website in the future. Even if you don't use the other browsers very often, check any browser shortcuts for any extra URLs or commands that can override the homepage for your web browsers, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox. You cannot adjust the shortcut properties for Microsoft Edge.

Article in English: Look for the unsweetened kind in the grocery store aisle near the baking supplies. If you can't find shredded coconut, shaved coconut also works quite well. Every cup of coconut will end up translating into two cups of milk. Measure out the coconut into a blender or high-powered food processor. You'll need two cups of water for every cup of coconut you have. Measure out the correct number of cups into a pot. Place the pot on a burner and turn the heat to high. Let the water come to a full boil. Pour it directly into the blender. If your blender is small, you may need to do this in batches. Use a spoon to stir the mixture well. Place the lid on the blender and blend the coconut and water until the mixture is as smooth as possible.  Be sure to hold the lid of the blender tightly in place with one hand, since blending heated substances can cause the lid to fly off unexpectedly. Place a piece of cheesecloth or a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl. Carefully pour the coconut mixture through the cloth, straining out the solid pieces. The liquid that is left in the bowl is fresh coconut milk. If you're using cheesecloth, pick it up and squeeze out the extra milk before discarding the solid coconut.

Article in English: Look for the words “thickening” or “volumizing” on the bottle. Shampoos designed to thicken your hair’s appearance typically do so with ingredients that plump up your hair’s roots. Good Housekeeping has this ranked listing of available thickening shampoos.  Two-in-one shampoos tend to be ideal because they tend not to weigh hair down.  Don’t wash your hair every day. Washing every day will strip your hair of natural oils that help it stay healthy and full. Conditioners that are “hydrating” or “smoothing” or otherwise intensive will weigh hair down. Be sure to rinse all of the conditioner out of your hair after applying so that the residue won’t weigh hair down. A good blowdrying strategy can go a long way toward enhancing your hair's fullness; the wrong technique, on the other hand, can exacerbate your problem.  If you blow dry your hair, begin by flipping your hair over and dry until most of the dampness is gone. Then flip your hair back over and blow dry the rest of your hair in sections using a round brush. Using a diffuser can also help boost your hair’s volume if you have wavy or curly hair. The aim of flat irons is to straighten and flatten hair strands, the opposite of the look you're trying to achieve. And because they use extreme heat applied directly to hair, they can damage hair, leaving it drier and brittle--again, the opposite of what you want if you have thin hair. If you absolutely must flat-iron, don’t iron ends straight down. Instead, turn them in ever so slightly for fuller hair. Look for volumizing or thickening hair products. Volumizing mousse, hairspray, and texturizers can help your hair look thicker and fuller.  Volumizing powder is relatively new to the scene and can help hair look fuller by fluffing it up at the roots.  You can also find hair-loss concealers in many beauty supply stores. Before going to bed, apply a volumizing mousse to your wet hair. By the morning you’ll have texturized hair that may appear fuller. If you have long hair, braid the damp, moussed hair before going to...

Article in English: Look for tiny worms that look like wiggling rice, along with webbing in either food containers or the pantry. You should also notice cast off skins. Check your corners and in the dark areas of pantries for moth worms and cocoons. The worms will grow to about ⅔-inch size (1.7 centimeters), and they have a black or brown head. Kitchen moth worms enter your home inside food. After you bring home an item that contains moth eggs or larvae, the moth worms quickly spread to other foods. Go through your pantry, checking items for signs of infestation. You may notice the moth worms, egg casings, or webbing.  Foods that the meal moths prefer include cereals, flour, grains, birdseed, dried fruit, candy, pet food, dried herbs, nuts, and powdered milk. Even if you don’t see any moth worms or casings, webbing means that the food is infested. Moth worms cannot penetrate the seal of a plastic bag, so you can prevent them from spreading by putting the infested food in bags. Throw away the items as soon as possible. Don’t allow the infested foods to sit around since it’s possible that you may not have properly closed all of the seals. Unfortunately, most of your food will need to be thrown away. Any food that the moths would normally eat, such as grains or cereals, should be thrown away. If you have any food that is in a container that you cannot wash, then you will need to throw that food out as well. The moths like to lay eggs in the crevices of items, so you may still have active eggs on your items. To avoid a reinfestation, wash these items well in warm, soapy water.  Check crevices such as jar lids or flaps on items wrapped in plastic. You can also kill moth eggs and larvae that may be on the food by putting the food in the freezer, microwaving it for 5 minutes, or baking it at 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius). If you have any shelf liners, then you will need to remove them and throw them away, as they can harbor eggs or larvae. If you plan to place new pantry liners, wait until your infestation is completely...

Article in English: Look for visible signs of anger, like clenched fists, tense shoulders, and shaking. You want to know how angry they are so you can decide the best way to de-escalate the situation. If someone is visibly upset, they may lash out verbally or physically if you try to walk away. You may want to hear them out before you try to leave. Disarm them by sharing how you feel in a genuine way. Telling someone you love or care about them when you’re fighting can be hard, but it might help de-escalate the situation. For example, you could say “I love you and don’t want us to get angry at each other like this. Let’s not fight right now.” You don’t have to mean it or believe they’re in the right. Set aside your pride and say you’re sorry so you can avoid a bad situation from getting any worse. Sometimes, an apology is all they need to hear. For example, you could say to a stranger you got in a fight with “I’m so sorry. That was my fault and I didn’t mean for this to turn into a fight.” Put the fight on pause so you can both have a moment to calm down. You’ll probably find that you’re both thinking more rationally when you come back together.  For example, you could say to your friend that you’re fighting with “We’re not getting anywhere right now. Want to cool off and talk about this later?” If your friend is still persistent, explain that you want to resolve this flight, but you can't do it when you're not thinking clearly. This way, they won't feel attacked. Use humor to cut through the tension between you and the other person. They might be too angry to laugh, but a joke could stop the fight from escalating any further.  Don’t use sarcasm or make a joke at the other person’s expense. This will make them feel that you're not taking their feelings seriously. If you’re fighting with a friend or your significant other, try an inside joke that you can both laugh about. Don’t allow the other person to use insults and personal attacks to rile you up. If someone is insistent on fighting with you, and you’ve tried to defuse the...

Article in English: Look for whole fish that smell clean. Avoid bruised sardines-you want the best product when you make sardines.     Stay away from old fish. Aged sardines will have "belly burn," a condition where the guts start to come out of the fish.    When you prepare sardines, you want to remove all the rough skin. Rub your fingers back and forth over the sides, brushing off any remaining scales. To prepare sardines, cut the entire length of the fish's belly with a sharp fillet knife. Remove the innards and discard them. Use the fillet knife to slice along each side of the backbone behind the ribs.     Cut underneath the ribs of the fresh sardine and slice upward, away from the backbone.     Use sharp scissors to snip the backbone where it connects to the head and where it meets the tail.     Remove the backbones with your thumb and forefinger before you cook sardines. Start at the tail and move your hand along the bone toward the head. As you move along the spine, lift the bone from the fish.    To prepare sardines, add a little seasoning, such as salt and pepper.

Article in English: Look for whole flaxseed if you have access to a coffee grinder or small powerful blender, like a Ninja or Bullet, as whole flaxseed will pass through your body without being digested and you will not get the healthy benefits of this superfood. Buying ground flaxseed is also a good option as you will not have to grind the flaxseed yourself. You can also use a mortar and pestle to grind up the flaxseed. Don’t worry about making the flaxseed very fine or ground, simple break up the seeds so they form smaller pieces that your body can digest. You can put the ground flaxseed in a liquid or consume it with a liquid on the side. Your intestines may be obstructed if you consume flaxseed without enough water or liquid. Soaking the ground seeds will give them a soft, chewy texture that blends well in your smoothie or juice.  Put one heaping spoonful of ground flaxseed in a bowl. Pour enough water to submerge the seeds and cover the bowl. Leave the flaxseed to soak overnight. Add the swollen seeds to your morning smoothie or juice. Blend or stir them into the smoothie or juice. Flaxseed has a nutty flavor that pairs well with fruit and vegetable smoothies. Ground flaxseed also pairs well with low fat yogurt or sugar free cereal. You can also add ground flaxseed to hot oatmeal for a nutty and healthy kick. Toast the ground flaxseed in the oven on a sheet pan or in a small toaster oven. Be sure not to burn the flaxseed. Sprinkle them on your salads and soups for a crunchy, nutty taste. Ground flaxseed is a great option for a low carb, high fiber diet. Using flaxseed in muffins, cookies, and cakes gives your baked goods a nice moist texture that is also good for you.  Try this one minute flax muffin recipe. Mix ¼ ground flaxseed with ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon Stevia (or other sugar supplement), 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon coconut oil in a mug or small, microwave safe bowl. Microwave the mug or bowl for one minute on high. You also add frozen fruit like frozen blueberries or strawberries to the...

Article in English: Look in particular for an enzymatic cleaner. Enzymatic cleaners are specifically designed for cleaning urine-soiled areas. These types of cleaners break down the enzymes in the cat urine and neutralize the odor. They can usually be purchased at any pet store. Well-known brands include Knock Out, Urine Off, and Anti-Icky Poo.  Enzymatic cleaners break down the uric acid in cat urine into carbon dioxide and ammonia. These are both gasses that will then easily evaporate and thereby neutralize the odor.  These cleaners work on both fresh and old urine stains. Some cleaners may have their own specific instructions for use so make sure to go over these carefully before applying the cleaner to the soiled area. Always follow any instructions that come with the specific cleaner you have purchased. Failure to follow the proper instructions could result in permanent damage to your furniture or surface. Always test out the product on a small, out-of-sight area to see whether the product results in any damage or discoloration to the area.  If you notice anything unusual, stop using the product. Either purchase a different commercial product or try the homemade solution below. If you don't see anything, then go ahead and apply the product to the soiled area. Let the cleaner sit for 10-15 minutes so it can soak into the stain. Then blot up as much of the cleaner as you can using paper towel or a rag. This is very important because the cleaner needs this time to effectively break down the uric acid salts and then allow the gasses to evaporate. Close off the affected area. Cats are naturally attracted by the enzymes in urine and will be drawn to urinate in areas that have previously been urinated in. Cover the area loosely with something like aluminum foil or an upside-down laundry basket. This will not only keep the cat from attempting to pee in the same spot while the cleaner does its job but also keep any members of the household from stepping on the area. Be aware that if you are dealing with an old stain, you may need to...

Article in English: Look in the laundry aisle at your local grocery store or shopping center and see if you can find a stain remover that says something like “removes ink stains” or “eliminates pen stains” on it. Try to lift as much of the ink stain as you can using just the cloth. If the stain remover you’re using comes in a spray bottle, spray it directly on the stain. If you’re using a stain-removing pen, draw over the surface of the stain with the tip of the pen until the entire stain is covered with the stain remover. Read the instructions that came with the stain remover to see how long you should leave it on the garment. If you’re not sure, leave it on for about ten minutes. You should begin to notice more of the ink transferring from the stained garment to the cloth. This is a sign that the stain remover is working. This will prevent the ink from transferring to other clothes in the wash. Wash the stained garment on the same setting you normally would. If it didn't, repeat the process, starting with applying the stain remover to the stain. Never put stained clothing in the dryer, as the heat will set the stain and make it much harder to remove.

Article in English: Look in the mirror and practice your facial changes at home. Take note of the way you notice your mood change as you change your face. Remember which tricks make you feel most pleasant so that you can practice them during the day to keep a pleasant expression.  Take a pen and clench it in your teeth—imitating a smile. Do you notice yourself feeling happier? Now take the pen and hold it in your protruding lips—creating a frown. It will create the feeling of being unhappy. Practice vowel sounds. A long “e” forces a smile, “ah” imitates the expression of surprise. Both of these induce pleasant feelings. Notice the tilt of your head. Having a slight tilt to your head is a subconscious sign that you’re engaged and paying attention. This encourages a pleasant disposition. Avoid constantly checking your watch, phone, or how others are reacting. You want to have eye contact and crease your eyes. Creasing your eyes is different from squinting—it’s a good thing to practice in the mirror. The most inviting eyes are fully open yet relaxed. Neutral lips or a frown-shaped pout is much less inviting. Keep a small parting of your lips to relax your facial muscles and convey warmth. With your mouth relaxed, turn the corners of your mouth up. If you’re forcing a pleasant expression, it can often be picked up on by other people. They’ll become suspicious. The best way to avoid this is to actually feel what you’re portraying. Take time out of each morning to think of reasons you have to be pleasant. Take a moment to appreciate them and carry this feeling throughout the day.  Think about friends and family. Consider your recent accomplishments. Start following positive quote Instagram pages. Get a daily calendar with a cute animal on each page.

Article in English: Look in the vinegar section at your local supermarket for apple cider vinegar. Get ACV with sediment settled on the bottom of the bottle. This is known as the “mother” and contains helpful enzymes and probiotics. Avoid getting pasteurized ACV since it won’t have the same properties as unfiltered vinegar. If you cannot find raw apple cider vinegar in stores, search online stores. By itself, apple cider vinegar is extremely acidic and could harm your teeth and throat if taken alone. Shake the bottle of ACV before measuring out 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) to stir into your cup of water.  You can use either hot or cold water. Try mixing the ACV with other liquids, such as fruit juice, tea, or apple cider, for a different flavor. Taking ACV before your meal could help stimulate your digestive system and regulate blood sugar levels as you eat. Make sure to dilute your apple cider vinegar so it isn’t as acidic. Consult with a doctor before starting an ACV regimen if you’re prescribed insulin or diuretic medications. Apple cider vinegar may weaken the medicine. To keep getting health benefits, take apple cider vinegar 2-3 times daily. Evenly spread your intake of ACV throughout the day, and take it while you’re on an empty stomach. Continue the regimen for up to a month before reducing your intake to 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) daily in the morning. You may continue taking apple cider vinegar every day, or repeat detox regimens 3-4 times a year.

Article in English: Look into a mirror and smile a wide but natural smile. Gauge the general location where you want your fake dimples to be.  When you smile, natural creases should form outside of your mouth. Your “dimples” should fall just outside of these creases, beginning roughly around the area just above the upper points of your lips. Make sure to smile broadly, but not unnaturally so. Real dimples are most prominent during particularly wide smiles, so you will get a better idea for where your cosmetic dimples should be if you make a wide grin, rather than a reserved one. Don't be shy!  Note - this method works best to create temporary dimples suitable for pictures. It may look unnatural if worn out in public. Dimples usually appear as short lines or slight crescent shapes. Using a dark brown pencil eyeliner or eyebrow pencil, make a small dot at the top of where you want your desired dimple line to be. Dark brown works bests because it blends into the skin more naturally. Black and colored eyeliner should be avoided. With the tops of your dimples marked, relax your mouth. Draw a small, slightly curved line starting at the dot you have marked. Use the same eyeliner or eyebrow pencil you used to create the dot. The line should extend no further than 1 inch (2.5 cm) below the dot. It should be just barely curved - slightly straighter than the curve of a fingernail. Now that your dimples have been drawn on, you need to adjust your makeup so that the final product appears subtle and natural. Use your fingers or a smudge stick to blend the line into your skin, rubbing the line up and down rather than side to side. One application may not create a line of suitable darkness, so you may need to draw over the line and blend it in several times. Critique your new dimples in the mirror - are they even? Are they too dark? Not dark enough? Do your dimples look unnatural in certain types of lighting? If anything about your makeup doesn't seem quite right, don't be afraid to wash it off and try again.

Article in English: Look on YouTube and watch movies and interviews for good examples of what you're trying to emulate. However, beware of impersonators out there -- and there are plenty. Brad Pitt, Richard Gere, and Tom Cruise are not good examples. Stick to true native speakers; RTÉ is a safe place to start. It is important to note that the northern counties have a quite different accent [look up the Ulster dialect]. In the same respect you never truly master a foreign language if you don't live in the country, you will never master an accent if you don't live among the people. If you go for vacation, do your best to feel out the local flavor. Go to small restaurants and listen to those around you. Make small talk with the vendors on the streets. Hire a native tour guide to show you around. Make your exposure as 24/7 as possible. Just as there are American and British English dictionaries, there are Irish dictionaries, too. What's more, resources abound when it comes to sources on colloquialisms and idiosyncrasies of the accent. Invest your time and money into this endeavor if you truly want your accent to shine. If a dictionary seems a bit much and would just rest on your shelf gathering dust, buy a phrase book. The idioms and figures of speech will help you get into the emerald zone.

Place the baking sheet on the top rack of the oven so it's directly under the broiler's heat source. Set a timer for 4 minutes. Use an oven mitt to pull out the baking sheet so you can easily flip the hot dogs. Put the hot dogs back on the top rack of the oven and set another timer for 4 minutes. Carefully transfer the hot dogs to a plate using the tongs. Put the broiled hot dogs in buns and serve with your favorite toppings.

Article in English: Look online or in trade publications for listings of manufacturing companies that could produce a small, initial batch of garments for your clothing line. Get in contact with companies to ask if they are taking on new customers, what their prices are, and if they have production minimums. If you find a company that seems like it will suit your needs, send them any drawings, swatches, or research you have to see if they can make your product. Small batch production typically refers to 500 units or less. Once you have decided on a small batch manufacturer, negotiate the terms of your agreement. Work out a schedule for production and gauge how much time it will take to produce the number of garments you want. Be prepared for a very small profit margin, as small batch production generally costs more than large scale production. Comparison shop for the fabric and other materials necessary for producing your clothing line's first batch. Ask the manufacturer if they provide fabric sourcing, which might yield better rates than finding fabric on your own. As a general guideline for profit, materials should only count for 30 percent of the total cost of making your garments. When you are starting a clothing company, selling online will give you the most flexibility to take pre-orders for items while keeping a limited inventory. Make a website and advertise via social media to avoid typical ad costs and make use of networking. Ask friends and family to share your posts on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Article in English: Look online or in your local hardware store for spray paint that is specifically made for use on metal. Avoid generic brands that will leave the coat on the frame looking uneven.  Never combine different brands of spray paint. The different paints might react badly with each other.  If you want the bike frame to look matte instead of glossy, look for spray paint that says “matte finish” on the can. Hold the can of spray paint around 1 foot (0.3 m) (30.48 cm) away from the frame while you’re spraying it, and keep the can in constant motion. Avoid spraying continuously in one area, or you will end up with drip marks. Make your way around the entire frame until the whole surface has been covered with paint. Don’t worry if you still see some of the old paint showing through the first coat. You want to do several thin coats as opposed to one thick coat, so the old paint will be covered up after you apply more coats later on. Once the first coat is completely dry, repeat the spray-painting process, making sure you get another thin, even coat on the frame. Always wait 15-30 minutes in between coats. The amount of coats you need will depend on the color and type of spray paint you use. When you can’t see the old paint or metal on the frame, and the new paint looks even, you’ve applied enough coats of paint. Wait a few hours after spray painting before you apply the clear coat. Once the frame is completely dry, spray an even layer of clear coat all over the bike, similarly to how you applied the spray paint. For the best results, apply three coats of clear coat. Let each coat dry for 15-30 minutes before you apply the next one. Avoid touching or moving the bike during this period. If you painted outside, check the weather forecast and carefully move the bike inside if it’s going to rain or snow. Once it’s completely dry, go ahead and remove any painter’s tape you put on it during the prepping stages. . Put back on all of the parts you detached from the frame earlier, including the wheels, the bottom bracket, the...

Article in English: Look out for petechiae (little red bumps), which can indicate bleeding under the surface of your skin. Check for purpura (purplish discolored spots that don’t turn white when you press on them), which are hemorrhages under your skin. Call your doctor if you have petechiae or purpura. Avoid taking aspirin to help with your discomfort. Aspirin can cause petechiae or purpura or make them worse. Note any changes to your skin, like redness or swelling. Keep track of how long the redness or swelling lasts. Call your doctor if they last longer than three days. Also call if the redness or swelling start two or three days after your procedure, when you should be almost fully recovered. Ask your doctor about any long-lasting or extreme pain. Also call if you’re continuing to experience unusual irritation after three days. Be ready to describe your symptoms and any activities that might have caused the pain or irritation.

Article in English: Look out the window and use this time to make up an amazing adventure, or riveting love story in your head.  You can also daydream about your future or think about your life and any goals you might have. Use this time to plan and think about what you will do to achieve these goals. Use music to amplify your daydreaming. Make up dances in the car that can be performed whilst sitting down and wearing a seatbelt. If you're driving, your first priority is to concentrate on driving. However, doing a few dance moves while waiting at the intersection or shimmying your shoulders is okay as long as you pay attention to the road. Announce the things you see to your companions in the car or record them in a book. You can use this activity to pinpoint landmarks and then try to remember them on your way back. You can take pictures of the scenery or pictures of yourself and your companions. Record your trip and talk to the camera about how the trip is going so far.  Collect these photos as memorabilia from your trip. You can even put them into a scrapbook or start scrapbooking in the car. Orchestrate stories and act them out as photos. Download applications on your smartphone camera that can enhance or change your photos. Some applications allow you to draw on your photos or add interesting borders and effects.

Article in English: Look over at him when you’re in the same room and smile at him to let him know you’re friendly and that looking at him makes you happy. Don’t overdo it, but you can definitely catch his eye several times during a class, game, or party. You can shyly look away once you catch his eye, or keep up the eye contact. Pick out a favorite outfit that makes you feel beautiful and comfortable so that you feel confident the next time you see him. Don’t feel like you need to wear “stylish” clothes that other people are wearing, because he may not even like or notice them, but he will pay attention when you feel comfortable and at ease. Experiment with how to wear your hair and makeup, but keep it simple and ultimately go with what you think looks great on you and makes you feel good. Always start by practicing good hygiene: shower and wash your hair, wear deodorant, and brush your teeth every day.  Wear your hair down or up in a ponytail or bun, or however you like to wear it best. Try playing around with curling or straightening it for a new look if you want. Brush a little mascara on your eyelashes and apply some concealer or foundation to your skin if you want to cover up any redness or acne. Stand next to him when you’re in a group, and get close if you’re sitting next to him. You can even lightly touch him on the arm while you’re talking or give him a playful push if he’s teasing or joking with you. But pay attention to the signs he’s giving you. Some people don’t like others in their close personal space or feel uncomfortable with touch; it doesn’t necessarily mean he doesn’t like you. If you don’t want to get too close or touch him, you can simply mimic his body language. If he crosses his arms, leans his head on his hand, or stands with his hands in his pockets while he’s talking to you, wait at least 20 seconds and do the same or something similar. This is a very subtle way to show you are paying attention and interested in him. Observe him to see what kinds of books he reads, music he listens to, or teams he...

Article in English: Look over the notes you took in your section-by-section evaluation. Come up with a thesis, then outline how you intend to support your thesis in the body of your review. Include specific examples that reference the strengths and weaknesses that you noted in your evaluation.  Your thesis and evidence should be constructive and thoughtful. Point out both strengths and weaknesses, and propose alternative solutions instead of focusing only on weaknesses. A good, constructive thesis would be, “The article demonstrates that the drug works better than a placebo in specific demographics, but future research that includes a more diverse subject sampling is necessary.” After forming a thesis and making an outline, you’re ready to start composing your review. While the structure will depend on your publication’s guidelines, you can typically follow these general guidelines:  The introduction summarizes the article and states your thesis. The body provides specific examples from the text that support your thesis. The conclusion summarizes your review, restates your thesis, and offers suggestion for future research. After writing your first draft, check for typos and make sure your grammar and punctuation are correct. Try to read your work as if you were someone else. Is your critique fair and balanced, and do the examples you included support your argument?  Make sure your writing is clear, concise, and logical. If you mention that an article is too verbose, your own writing shouldn’t be full of unnecessarily complicated terms and sentences. If possible, have someone familiar with the topic read your draft and offer feedback.

Article in English: Look over what you have to do, and estimate how much time each task will take. Leave time for breaks in between tasks. Put the things you have to do at the top of your list, and do those things first.  Move anything you won't realistically have time for to the next day. Check off tasks as you go! It will give you a sense of satisfaction. Multitasking slows you down and can stress you out. To have a good workday, focus on one task at a time. Break down complicated tasks into simple steps, and put each step on your to-do list. You won't be able to have a good day if there's something you're avoiding thinking about, like an overdue assignment or a talk you had with a friend that made you feel uncomfortable. Finish it today, or make a realistic plan to take care of it eventually.  Admitting that something is bothering you will relieve some of your anxiety. Try journaling about things that are stressing you to relieve some of the stress or anxiety. For instance, if you have a big assignment for school that is overdue, be proactive and ask your teacher for more time. If you had a conversation with a friend that is bothering you, take a walk and think about what bothered you. Try to think of what you want to do next: bring it up? Let it go? Get advice from someone else? Decide what's next and then don't dwell on it for the rest of the day. Seeing someone you care about, especially if this is someone you hug and are physically affectionate with, will make your day better. Think of the people that always lift your mood—the ones you are always glad to see. Not every friend or loved one will have that effect on you. Make plans with someone who makes you feel happy and safe.  If you both have to work, perhaps you could meet for lunch, or work together. Make dinner together and talk about your days. You can go on an adventure, or just catch up over coffee. If you are focused on work, you might not want to pause. However, detaching from work for a while actually improves your focus. You'll get more work done overall, and...

Article in English: Look over your sculpture and think about the different materials that would make up that object in real life (flesh, hair, fabric, stone, grass, fur, etc). On your original sketch or on an entirely new one, map out what textures go where. Do some research. Look at lots of pictures of those types of textures to figure out how they work. You'd be surprised how complex it can be. Fur, for example, grows in chunks and you'll have to pay attention to the length, organization, and direction of every chunk. Begin to texture your sculpture, one section at a time, using traditional or improvised tools. Only a very limited number of sculpting tools are needed and most can be improvised from common household objects. You will have to experiment to find out what works best for you, as almost every sculptor uses their tools differently.  Generally with sculpting tools, large tips are used to create the broad details, while finer tips are used to create details. Scoop-like tools create rounded areas. Tools with a loop are used to scrape away the material. Anything with a sharp edge can be used to cut. Tools can be improvised from: balls of tin foil, black peppercorn, toothpicks, x-acto knives, a toothbrush, a steel ball chain necklace, a comb, knitting needles, crochet hooks, large and small sewing needles, cookie cutters, melon ballers, etc. Once you're done with all of the major clay work, you'll need to cure your sculpture to make it hard (if you want it hard...if not, ignore). Different clays need to be cured in different ways (air dry, bake, etc), so follow the manufacturer's instructions for the clay you use. It is generally better to under-bake (use a low temperature for longer periods of time, if you can), to avoid burning.

Article in English: Look through the available douching products at your local drugstore to choose an option that looks best for you. Avoid any solution that contains scents or dyes, as these are much more likely to cause an infection. If you prefer, you can create your own douching solution at home using vinegar and only buy a squeeze bottle at the store for application. If you bought a kit at the store, follow the box directions to prepare the douching solution it came with. Typically you will need to use a quart of water to prepare it. If you are making your own at home, mix one part vinegar with three parts water, in an amount equal to at least two cups. Follow the directions on the box to do this, or simply pour the solution into the squeeze bottle. If all the solution doesn’t fit, fill it as high as you are able and then add the rest later. Douching isn’t the messiest thing in the world, but it could be under certain circumstances. To prevent spilling any of the solution, get into the shower or bathtub for the entire process. You’ll likely want to shower or bath afterwards anyway. Insert the tip of the squeeze bottle or douche pouch into the vagina, and squeeze it to release the fluid. Continue rinsing the inside of the vagina until you have used all the available fluid. Use a mild soap and warm water to wash the outside of the vagina as you would normally during a shower or bath.  Your goal now is to wash off any of the douching solution left on the exterior of your vagina. The douching solution is relatively harmless on any other part of your body, so rinse it off if it came into contact with anything else but don’t worry about it too much. Follow up with any post-douching cleaning activities you deem necessary. Clean out the douching pouch/squeeze bottle and store it for later use, and clean up anything else you might have made a mess with while concocting your solution.

Article in English: Look through your family's garage or basement to find a ladder. If you plan on sneaking out, it's best to be discreet when you're searching for your escape ladder. Wait until your family is gone, or wait until they are asleep to look for the ladder. Be careful and be quiet. You should prop the ladder under your window earlier in the day while your family isn't home. If the ladder will be seen by your family, this may not be the best method for you to sneak out of your window.  There are a few different types of ladders – extension ladders or tall step ladders are probably best for this type of scenario. Make sure that the ladder is long enough to reach up to your second story window. Having a second person to assist you when climbing a ladder is always a good safety precaution. However, if you don't have anyone to sneak out with you, you can always use a sandbag, or something else heavy, to secure the bottom of the ladder in place. If you have a friend helping you sneak out, your friend could also bring the ladder to your window. This would eliminate you needing to set up the ladder beforehand. Open your window and remove the screen. Leave the screen in your bedroom so that you can put it back on when you sneak back in. (Screens can usually be popped out fairly easily). Feet first, carefully and quietly climb out of your window, and place your feet on the top of the ladder. Once you feel like you're secure, climb all the way down the ladder. Leave the ladder in place so that you an climb back up it when you return home. You can buy a ladder and keep it in the basement or garage, or you can buy a rope ladder to keep in your room. A rope ladder will be more discreet, but is also a bit harder to use. Both types of ladders can usually be purchased at hardware stores.

Article in English: Look to see if you have any beads around your house or stop by your local craft store and pick up a pack of multiple colors and sizes. You can also use gems or crystals for surface piercings.   Get fake gems and crystals at a craft store, or use real crystals that are from your necklaces or rings. Fake surface piercings can be as small or as large as you want. Surface piercings are piercings that are only visible on the surface of your skin. The part of the piercing visible is usually a stud or crystal.  Surface piercings can be on your cheek, nose, above the eyebrow, and above or below your top or bottom lips, respectively. Try putting a fake surface piercing in only one place first to see how you feel, then add more if you want a bolder look. Since you are not forcing any skin between two ends for these fake surface piercings, you only have to apply eyelash glue to one side of your bead, gem, or crystal. Eyelash glue is the best adhesive for fake facial piercings because it is already made for the skin, so it will last the longest and not be harmful.   Choose an eyelash glue with a small applicator. Let the glue set on the ends for 20-30 seconds before applying to the skin. Tweezers are the most effective when handling beads, gems, or crystals, especially considering their small size. You will be able to hold them steady and not get any glue on unwanted areas of your face. Place your bead, gem, or crystal where you want your surface piercing.

Article in English: Look to the bottom of your phone, and locate Messaging. Tap on it. Once you're in Messaging, tap on the menu button. It's usually fairly invisible, and located to the lower left side of your device. It'll slightly light up if you tap on it. After tapping on it, you'll see various menu options. You're now in the Settings category of your Messaging app. Scroll down until you reach Register Number As Spam. That's the option that will allow you to no longer be notified when your unwanted contact sends you a text. Look to the upper right side of your screen, and tap on the Plus sign to add unwanted numbers. If you've never added a contact as spam, the screen will be mostly black and say No Numbers Blocked. You have the option of either manually typing a number you wish to mark as Spam, or you can retrieve it from your contacts if you've previously registered it in your phone. Once you've selected the contacts to be marked as spam, tap on Save (upper right corner). You will now no longer receive texts from that number or contact. You can remove a number from spam anytime by deleting the contact or number from that list.

Article in English: Look under the bicycle seat to see if you have a lever that you can pull out, or if you have a bolt that will need to be loosened with a ratchet or wrench. The seat post telescopes into the bicycle frame and is fairly loosely fit into what is called the seat tube. The seat post is held in the seat tube by a binder bolt or quick-release lever. If you have a quick-release lever, you don’t need any tools to continue raising your seat. If you have a bolt, you may need a wrench, ratchet or Allen wrench. Most seat posts need either a 13mm or 14mm wrench, or a 5mm or 6mm Allen wrench. Loosen the bolt by twisting the bolt to the left, or counterclockwise, direction. While you’re sitting on your bike with your legs in the proper position, lift the seat up to where you can comfortably sit on it. Ask a friend to mark the seat position on the post with a marker so you will be able to place it at the right height once you’re off the bike. Move off the bike and move the seat to your marked position. The seat should slide up and down fairly easily, although you may need to wiggle the post a little bit to loosen it up. It should slide easily straight up and down. It is not suggested that you twist the seat from side to side, as this can cause scratches on the seat post. Pull the seat up to your optimum height.  Bicycle seats have a minimum insertion mark on their posts. This is the minimum amount that a seat post should be inserted into the bike frame, meaning that the seat cannot get any taller. If you need the seat higher or lower than it will actually go, your bicycle is the wrong size for you. To adjust the seat height of a recumbent bicycle, sit in the seat with your riding shoes on. Straighten one of your legs almost fully onto the pedal, but keep a slight bend in your knee. Move your seat forward or backward to ensure you have a slight bend in your knee while sitting. Usually, a recumbent bike will have a lever under the seat that you lift when you move the seat. A seat post that is hard to move might have too much...

Article in English: Look underneath your sink for the pipes that run up. Along those pipes somewhere will be handles that you can turn to shut off the water to your sink. Twist clockwise to shut off. Use a sink plug if you have one or a rag.  Nothing will ruin your day faster than having a screw or a washer go down the drain. A compression faucet has two screw handles, one for hot and one for cold, and is the easiest to recognize by sight. The other three types of faucet all have one central, swiveling arm that you can swing from hot to cold as desired. You may have to take your faucet apart before you know which is which, because the internal mechanisms at the base of their arms are all different:  A ball faucet contains a ball bearing. A cartridge faucet contains a cartridge. The materials of the cartridge will vary, but handle often has a decorative cap. A ceramic-disk faucet contains a ceramic cylinder.

Article in English: Look up 1-2 minute monologues online or purchase an acting book with monologues from famous pieces. Practice delivering them in your own voice and acting style. Monologues are often used to cast you in plays, movies and shows and they allow you to showcase your talents in a short period of time.  Choose a monologue based on the type of actor you are. Don’t read an old woman’s monologue if you’re a young man, or vice-versa. You'll want contrasting monologues. Even if you always play the funny man, have a couple serious monologues ready to whip out when requested. For singers, prepare 16-32 bars of a few songs and master them. Some auditions won't specify a genre while some will want you to show them something similar to what they're producing. . List your acting-related strengths in a notebook and pick your most important skills. Add any productions that you've done at camps, workshops, universities and community theater. Make sure you only list your most recent productions so the casting director isn’t overwhelmed by the amount of work on your resume. List any special abilities that you have (dancing, singing, dialects, combat, etc.) on your resume. Don't lie about what skills you have. Show up on time, know your audition material, bring any materials that you need (including a pen or pencil), and look your best. You can't control what the director who's casting the project will think of you, but you can control how well you present yourself. Be talkative and confident with your talent. You never know who you'll meet that can get you in. That guy hiding in the corner with a headset on probably has way more power than you realize, and even if he doesn't now, he may later. So chat up those around you and dig your toes into the acting sandbox. Taking auditions is a good way to be seen about town. Once people start to recognize you, they'll be more likely to consider you for roles. Getting your name out there is half the battle. You will get rejections. Take them lightly and keep going. A yes will come eventually.

Article in English: Look up companies in the region where you would like to work in online business directories and telephone books. You will want to give them your resume even if they aren't currently hiring. Positions can open up unexpectedly. If they have your information on hand, they might give you a chance. Search online job boards for entry-level positions in your field of choice. Favor positions that offer training, as these companies will help you build your expertise. Remember, not all open positions are advertised. You will want to deliver your resume to companies that don't appear to be hiring, as well as those that do.  Call your local temp agencies and ask about temporary sales positions.  Consider starting your sales career in retail. It can sometimes be easier to find entry-level positions in retail than in other fields.  Consider being an independent salesperson. Places such as cosmetic companies or travel agencies don't require any previous sales experience, and can help provide you with training and marketing materials. When you come across companies you would like to work for, try to find the profiles of their employees. You can search for the company on an online networking website and learn about the job experience and educational background of employees. Determine the amount of sales experience their entry-level employees have. A company that hires sales associates with little to no experience might be open to hiring you. Consider your employment history that is not sales related, but that lends to your qualification for the sales jobs you are interested in. For example, if you are applying for a sales position demonstrating power tools in a home improvement store, then it would be worthwhile to highlight your past construction and public speaking experience.  Search your history for hidden sales experience. Have you ever sold your used furniture, or old car? Many jobs include elements of sales, even if they aren't reflected in your title. Highlight this experience on your resume.  Make sure your resume...

Article in English: Look up recipes online that use the type of food you don’t like. There may be a dish that sounds delicious to you that you would never expect would contain that food. Try a dessert recipe that sneaks in a vegetable, or add an offending food to a casserole or soup so it’s mixed in with other things.  If it’s a vegetable you don’t like, try any number of desserts that use vegetables in their recipe, like a carrot cake, zucchini bread, or avocado milkshake.  This may not help you get used to the taste of the food you don’t like if it’s highly disguised by other ingredients, but it will get you accustomed to the idea that it can be used to make something tasty. Try preparing or eating the food with new seasonings or sauces, without overdoing it to the point of disguising the food. Get ideas for good seasonings to pair with the food from cookbooks or online. Try several different types of ethnic restaurants for a good way to try different preparations and flavors of the same food. Talk to friends, family, or the host of the dinner you’re at about the food you don’t like and how they like to prepare it. Try these new ways to find one that you like better. Try taking the recipes you’ve found in cookbooks, online, or from friends and family to prepare dishes with the food you’re learning to like, or just experiment with it on your own! Test out what it tastes like when you prepare it in different ways, like sauteing, steaming, roasting, or even deep-frying. Experiment with whatever seasonings and sauces you have around the house, or try new ones that recipes suggest. If there are multiple types of the food you don’t like, give them all a try to see which one you like best. Try both fresh and canned versions, and try getting produce from a farmer’s market instead of the grocery store if it is a fruit or veggie that you don’t like. Learn everything you can about the food you don’t like from the internet or books. Understanding more about the nuances of the food and understanding its differences from other foods will...

Article in English: Look within yourself to decide how comfortable you feel opening up to someone. You may feel more vulnerable at some times than you do at others, and it's okay to guard yourself when you don't feel comfortable. Identify what you are comfortable with, as well as what makes you uncomfortable.  Each time you're with someone, take small steps to push yourself to get closer to them while still honoring your comfort level. You might start by offering a nice comment to a coworker. On another encounter, you might offer them a small token of friendship, such as a donut or coffee. When you feel ready, you could invite them to do something. Smile and greet people when you see them. If someone makes small talk with you, participate in the conversation instead of giving them one-word replies. When you see someone you know, take a minute to say hello and ask how they are. If you’re shy, you might be used to minding your own business in public, so start slowly. Work on making eye contact and smiling. When you feel more comfortable, start chatting with people more often. Be willing to meet new people and expand your social horizons. See the good side of your friends and acquaintances, and take an optimistic view of your relationships. If any new opportunities or invitations come your way, accept them. For instance, if your classmate asks you to study with her later, say yes, even if you aren’t sure you’ll like it. Give her (and yourself) a chance. Build connections with other people by being interested in them. Try to find out more about your acquaintances’ goals, families, likes, and dislikes. When you’re with your friends, ask them about any projects they’ve been working on or issues they’ve been dealing with lately.  For instance, you could ask something like, “Why did you decide to major in architecture?” or “How are you liking your new apartment?” Of course, you don’t want to ask anything too personal, like “Why are you getting divorced?” unless you know the person well and get the sense that they want to talk about it...

Article in English: Looking at a color wheel can help you to sift through the many different hair colors and select one that will look good on you.  For example, if you have cool, pale skin, then opt for warm colors, such as golden browns and copper reds. If you have tan skin, then opt for cooler hair colors, such as ash browns and blondes. If you have warm undertones with yellow, pick a hair color that leans towards like chestnut, dark golden brown, auburn and mahogany. Then highlight using a red base, such as cinnamon or copper. If you choose a blonde base or blonde highlights, you may end up overemphasizing your yellow undertone. If you have cool tones with a pink or blue undertone, look for an intense brown, red, or blonde base. Then, pick highlights that have a honey-wheat or ash look. This will help contrast your cool undertones. Choose burgundy, cherry, or garnet hair color for dark skin with cool undertones. You can use these as a base color or highlight color. The cool red tones in this hair color give your skin a smooth even look.

Article in English: Looking at message information is not as reliable of an indicator as using test calls. However, some information displayed underneath iMessages can be helpful in determining if someone has blocked you. Check underneath the last message you sent. Many users have read receipts turned on, so if you no longer see "Read at..." underneath your sent messages you might have been blocked, or the person may have turned off read receipts. If you used to see "Delivered" when messages were sent and no longer do, you might have been blocked. The "Delivered" receipt is known to show inconsistently, so this method may not always be reliable.

Article in English: Looking at people directly in the eyes gives you a certain hold over them. It projects confidence on your end while making the person you're speaking with feel that they are interesting enough to gaze upon. Keep eye contact throughout the conversation. No matter what you're talking about, holding the person's eyes will make you seem more charming. . Scientists have pinpointed more than 50 types of smiles, and research suggests that the sincerest smile of all is the Duchenne smile - a smile that pushes up into the eyes. The reason it's more genuine is because the muscles needed to smile with our eyes are involuntary; they only become engaged in an authentic smile, not in a courtesy smile. Also, if you look at someone and then smile, it will instantly charm them. Shaking a person's hand when you first meet them is a polite way to show the person they're someone you want to talk to. Use a firm grip, but don't hold on too tight - you don't want to hurt the person's hand. After one good shake, release the person's hand from your grip. In regions where shaking hands is not customary, use a different appropriate physical gesture to show you're interested in talking to someone. A kiss on both cheeks, a bow, or another physical gesture gets the conversation off to a good start. Face the person you're talking to so that it doesn't seem as though you're anxious to walk away as soon as the conversation is over. During the course of the conversation, it may be appropriate to use light touching to keep it moving. You can lightly touch the person's shoulder to emphasize a point, for example. At the end of the conversation, decide whether it's appropriate to give a quick hug or another handshake. Your voice should be gentle and peaceful, yet direct. Don't talk too fast as this makes you appear nervous, but if you talk too slow people could think you are unintelligent, you need to speak slow enough that your words are clear but not slow that it feels like the conversation is dragging on.  Articulate your words clearly and...
