Article in English: Your hair will need to be smooth and without knots so brush or comb it out to remove all the tangles. It might also help to use some dry shampoo on your hair as you brush it to remove any excess oil from your hair, since this can make your hair slippery when you are braiding it. You can part your hair if you’d like and gather the hair so that the braid will fall in a specific area, such as the back or side of your head. Take all of your hair and divide it into 3 equal-sized sections: left, middle and right. Using a hair band, ribbon, clip or other styling choice, tie the hair off at the end, where the hairs become too short to fit in the plait.

Article in English: Your hairstylist can be an excellent ally. Ask your stylist for guidance on finding a fuller-looking hairstyle.  Let the stylist know the specifics of your concerns--where you feel your hair looks thin, how you would like it to look, and what, if any, are you style limits. It sounds obvious, but ask your stylist not to thin out your hair, as it will only make hair look thinner and flatter. A haircut designed to make your hair look fuller can go a long way towards helping you create the illusion of full-bodied hair.  Shorter hairstyles lend themselves more to fuller hair. The longer hair gets, the heavier and flatter it becomes. Cutting layers into your hair is a great strategy to make it appear thicker. Don’t fall into the mullet trap. Mullets are friends to no one. Ditch the part. Look for styles that allow you to comb hair back rather than parting it to one side--it will help hide thinness. Monotone hair color contributes to a flatter, thinner appearance, so to add thickness, choose a hair color that includes varying shades and dimension.  Choose a shade of hair color that will flatter your natural skin tone; otherwise, a harsh color may emphasize rather than minimize thin hair.  Highlights and lowlights can also add dimension, and thus a fuller look, to your hair.  Bleaching hair will also cause the strands to expand, making your hair appear thicker, but don’t bleach your hair if it’s already damaged. If you have extra scratch to spend, you can invest in professional hair extensions. You can also get clip-in extensions for a more affordable option. It seems to work for celebrities. Remember, though, that you want volume, not length. If the extensions will only give you additional length, they won’t help disguise thinning hair. This is perhaps the most drastic option, but if you’re facing serious and progressive hair thinning, it may also be the best option. Be sure to do your research before committing to either at-home or professional hair enhancement. For more information on surgical procedures, see the...

Article in English: Your hamster may be nervous at first, but once you start to pet your hamster and talk to it, it will be calmer than before. Be sure to read your hamster’s body language – if it backs away from you or makes squeaking noises, put it back in the cage. If it seems interested in you and approaches you freely, then feel confident in continuing your course of action. You don’t want to try to force your hamster into something that will make it scared. This could be detrimental to the bond you’re trying to build with it. It may even take longer to tame the hamster in the long run if you try to rush it. Be sure to spend plenty of quality time with your pet. The more time you spend engaging with one another, the more confident your hamster will be interacting with you. This will lead to a tame hamster before you know it. Soon, your hamster will be very tame and friendly. You should try to hold your hamster for at least a few minutes every day. Otherwise, it will be harder for it to get used to you and it will take more effort to tame your hamster. Never forget about your hamster. Remember that you have a little furry friend who wants to play with you and interact. Give your hamster lots of love and affection (and don’t forget the treats!). This is the single most important part of taming a hamster. The more you play with your hamster, the more tame it will be.

Article in English: Your hamster will have a lot of energy and it'll like to exercise, especially at night. Provide your hamster with toys it can use with or without your help.  Exercise wheels are the classic hamster toy. Make sure the wheel is stabilized at the bottom of the cage so it doesn't tip over when the hamster climbs on. Don't choose a wire wheel or your hamster can hurt its feet. The wheel should be big enough that the hamster won't bend its back while it runs on it. Hamster wheels can also be loud, so if you are a light sleeper, put your hamster's cage in a different room. Quiet wheels, usually marketed as silent spinners, are available. For Roborovski Dwarf hamsters the minimum wheel size is 5 inches (13 cm), and for Russian Dwarves (Djungarian/Winter White and Campbell's) and Roborovski hamsters, the minimum is 6.5 inches (17 cm).  An alternative to exercise wheels are "flying saucers." They are basically just wheels turned sideways to allow for a flat running surface and quiet rotation. You should get about the same size of saucer as you would a wheel. Exercise balls are another popular choice. The hamster is placed inside a plastic ball, which rolls as the hamster runs around. Do NOT buy such a ball. The hamster is very susceptible to stress. They often panic in these balls and can hurt themselves if they run into objects. In the first few days of getting a new dwarf hamster, do not attempt to pick it up. Just put your hand in its cage and let it sniff you to get used to your scent. Don't grab or otherwise roughly handle your hamster, since it has a very fragile body. Always pick a hamster up from the bottom or else it will feel threatened. Start off by sitting on the floor and holding it near the floor. If it senses an easy escape route, it'll be less likely to bite or squirm. Hold your hamster every day. If your dwarf hamster doesn't socialize frequently, it may stop being as friendly when you want to play. Gently lift your hamster from his cage and let him scurry around your lap at least once a day.

Article in English: Your hands can spread dirt or bacteria that might worsen your infection. Before cleaning or treating the area, wash your hands using warm water and antibacterial soap. Moisten the tip of the swab with antibacterial soap or a saline solution. Gently remove any liquid or soft pus with the swab. Do not remove any crust or scabs, however, as these will help your ear heal.. Throw the swab away when you are done. If both ears are infected, use a different swab for each ear. To make a saline solution, mix 1/2 teaspoon (3 grams) of salt into a 1 cup (237 ml) of warm water. Dab a sterile cotton ball or gauze into the solution and gently sweep it over both sides of the ear at the site of the piercing. Do this twice a day to keep the area clean.  The area may sting slightly when you use the solution. It shouldn’t be very painful, however. If it is, call your doctor. Avoid using rubbing alcohol or alcohol-based solutions on the infected area, as these can irritate the area and delay healing.  Gently pat the area dry afterwards with a paper towel, tissue, or cotton swab. Avoid using a towel, as it might irritate the ear. If both ears are infected, use a different swab or gauze for each ear. Soak a washcloth in warm water or a warm saline solution. Press the cloth over your ear for 3-4 minutes. Repeat as needed for pain relief throughout the day. Afterwards, dry your ear gently by patting it down with a paper towel or tissue. Ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) can help reduce the pain temporarily. Take the medicine according to the instructions on the label of the bottle.

Article in English: Your hands carry thousands of germs from the everyday objects you touch. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before ever touching your eyes. If you touch your eyes with dirty fingers and hands, you could cause eye infections or scratches. Use contact lens eye drops or lubricating drops to keep your eyes moist throughout the day. This will help keep your lenses from getting stuck. If you develop itchiness or redness after using drops, try to find a product marked “preservative-free.” Clean your lens case every day. After you’ve put in your contacts, wash the case with sterile solution or hot (preferably distilled) water. and soap. Do not leave the case full of tap water. That causes fungal and bacterial infections. Allow the case to air dry. Replace your lens case every three months. Even with daily cleaning, bacteria and other nasty stuff will eventually get into your case. After you’ve cleaned your case and let it air dry, put fresh, clean contact solution into the case. The solution loses its potency after awhile, so keeping it fresh every day will help your lenses stay disinfected and clean. Different types of lenses require different care products. Use the correct type of solution for your type of lenses.  Follow your eye care professional’s recommendations for cleaning and sanitizing your lenses. Use only commercially prepared solutions, eye drops, and cleaners to reduce your risk of infection. Your eye care professional should give you a range of how long it is safe to wear your lenses each day. Use your lenses in accordance with these professional recommendations. Do not sleep with lenses in unless you’ve been prescribed “extended wear” contact lenses. Even then, professionals don’t recommend sleeping in these lenses, as it can increase your risk of eye infections. If you’re going swimming, taking a bath or shower, or getting in the hot tub, take your lenses out first. This will help minimize your risk of infection. Your contacts can get stuck to your eyes when the lenses dry out. One...

Article in English: Your hands should always be clean whenever inserting or removing your contact lenses. Your hands carry around thousands of bacteria, including fecal bacteria, just from the things you touch every day. Wash your hands with soap and warm water before touching your eyes to prevent infection.  For stuck lenses, washing your hands is even more important, because you'll likely be  touching your eye area for a longer period of time. The more time your fingers spend in contact with your eyes, the more likely you are to spread contamination. Do not dry the palm or fingertips of the hand that is going to touch your eye. Otherwise, you might get towel fibers or lint in your eye. Panicking or getting overly anxious about the situation will just make it more difficult to remove the lenses. If you feel anxious, take a few  deep breaths before you continue.  Don’t worry! Your contact lens cannot get stuck behind your eyeball. The conjunctiva, a mucous membrane in front of your eye, and muscles around your eye called the rectus muscles make this impossible. Getting a soft contact lens stuck in your eye is not a serious health risk, unless you leave it for a long period of time. While it may be irritating, it is unlikely to damage your eye. However, a rigid lens can cause a cornea abrasion if it is broken and that can lead to an infection. If you've made several unsuccessful attempts to remove the lens, take a break from trying for a bit. Sit down for a while and relax. In many cases, contact lenses get stuck because they have slid out of their proper place over the cornea. If this is the case for you, you'll need to find the lens before you can remove it. Close your eyes and relax your eyelids. You should be able to feel where the lens has gone. If you can't feel it under your eyelid, gently touch the lid with your fingers and see if you can locate it.  If the lens has moved to the corner of your eye, you may be able find it just by looking in the mirror.  Try looking in the opposite direction of the lens. For example, if...

Article in English: Your hands should be roughly evenly spaced -- if the ball was a clock, your right hand would be at 3:00 and your left at 9:00. It can help to shift them back a bit, too, so your thumbs are almost touching in the back of the ball. This helps you get a bit more leverage on the throw. Throw-ins only occur when the whole ball completely passes over one of the touchlines. The restart occurs at the point it exited the field of play . The rules for throws are not super difficult, but you should be mindful of them with every throw. Even the pros sometimes make a mistake, but it is no less embarrassing when you do it in a game. A legal throw-in must have all of the following elements:  You are facing the field of play Both of your feet must be on or behind the touch line. As long as part of each foot is on some part of the 5 inch touchline or behind it and touching the ground at the moment the ball is thrown, the foot position is legal. You use two hands The ball comes from behind and over your head. You cannot score directly off a throw-in.

Article in English: Your head should be up and your eyes should be on the ball carrier at all times when you're playing defense. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart, with your knees bent and your shoulders back. Ideally, you want to have your back at about 45 degrees relative the ground. This is sometimes referred to as "breakdown" position. While you're working out, practicing hopping into breakdown and "buzzing" your feet, switching your weight between them very quickly, like you're standing on hot coals and you want to get them off. Stay light and mobile, and you'll be in good form. Accelerate toward the ball-carrier as quickly as possible, then slow down when you get without about three yards of the offensive player. If you keep moving at breakneck speed, you'll be out of position and the player will blow right past you. When you get close, slow down and drop into breakdown, relying upon your lateral movements to make the tackle. It'll take some practice to determine the proper angle of pursuit. This depends on the distance between you and the ball carrier and the speed of the ball carrier. If the ball carrier is particularly fast, take a wide angle of pursuit that will allow you to stay between him and your end zone. Bend your knees, get your hips down, and keep your hands back. Maintain an even center of gravity by keeping your feet at least shoulder width apart. Don't flat-foot it, either, keep moving and watch the offensive player's movements. Always keep your head up and your back straight. This position is more balanced and safer. Under no circumstances should you ever lead with your head down, which is extremely dangerous for both you and the ball carrier. Ideally, you want your head to be across the ball carrier's body and in his path. If the ball carrier is going to your left, when you make the tackle he should be on the right side of your head. The opposite is true if he's running to your right. Watch the player's hips closely to tip you off on changes in direction as you close and as you make contact. Proper...

Article in English: Your headings and subheadings allow the reader to quickly find specific sections of your report that interest them or that they want to read to gain more background information on your conclusions or recommendations.  Make sure your headings and subheadings describe the content in that section or subsection directly and accurately. For example, if you're drafting a weekly sales report, you may include sections on "Trends in Women's Clothing," "Trends in Menswear," and "Popular Children's Brands." Within those sections, you may have subheadings to highlight particular trends or popular brands. Use the same grammatical construction for all headings so your report is logical and consistent. For example, if your first heading is "Establishing a Foothold in Menswear," then your second heading should be "Leading the Pack in Women's Clothing" – not something like "Women's Sales Figures." Crisp writing with sentences structured in the standard "subject-verb-object" order demonstrate clarity of thought and confidence in your recommendations or conclusions.  After you've drafted your report, do a read-through and get rid of all unnecessary language. Find the action of each sentence and put the doer of that action next to the verb. Think of every sentence as saying "who does what." Delete redundancies and throat-clearing phrases such as "the use of," "for the purpose of," or "in order to." You may think this style of writing seems boring, but the point of your weekly report is not to entertain. This style will most effectively get your points across and convey the information to your readers. Although you may be making recommendations, those recommendations should be based on factual evidence – not opinions or feelings. Persuade your readers with strong facts and clear writing.  Avoid adjectives and other loaded words and phrases that have positive or negative connotations. Instead, focus on factual reasons. For example, suppose in your weekly sales report you are recommending a promotion for one of your sales...

Article in English: Your heart rate fluctuates based on your activity. Even standing can elevate heart rate. So before you measure your heart rate, you need to allow yourself to “relax.”  A good way to find out your resting heart rate is to measure it immediately after waking up in the morning. Do not measure your heart rate after exercise as it can remain elevated and you won’t be able to get an accurate reading. Also, being stressed, anxious or upset can elevate your heart rate. Do not measure your heart rate after drinking caffeine or in a hot, humid environment as these might temporarily increase your heart rate. Use the tips of your middle and ring fingers to press down on (or palpate) the radial pulse on the inside of your wrist or on the side of your neck (your carotid artery). It might take you a moment to feel the pulsation and you might need to move your fingers around to find it. Count the number of beats in 30 seconds and multiply by two or in 10 seconds and multiply by six to get your heart rate per minute.  For example, if you counted 32 beats in 30 seconds, multiply that by two to get your resting heart rate of 64. Or, if you counted 10 beats in 10 seconds, multiply 10 by six to get a resting heart rate of 60. If your rhythm is irregular, count for a full minute. As you begin counting, start the first pulse felt as zero and the second pulse as one. Repeat the measure a few times to get a more accurate reading.

Article in English: Your hip joint is composed of a ball and a socket. The ball-like structure is attached to the long bone of the thigh called the femur, while the socket is located on the hip bone or pelvis. When you move your legs, this ball rotates into the socket (acetabulum).  In a healthy hip, the ball-like structure is able to glide smoothly in any direction inside the socket. This is because the smooth cartilage, which is a flexible tissue covering the ends of the bones, serves as a cushion. If the smooth cartilage gets worn out or damaged due to a fall or an accident, the movement of the ball and socket becomes rough and rubs against each other. This causes damage in your hip’s bone structure and reduces the mobility of your legs. While there is really no absolute weight or age criteria for total hip replacement, most people who need hip replacement surgery are within 50-80 years of age. Orthopaedic surgeons will evaluate hip issues on a case to case basis but will often recommend it if you demonstrate:  Hip joint pain that severely limits your ability to do basic, daily activities. Hip joint pain that is present both at rest and during movement, day and night. Hip joint stiffness that limits your hip joint’s normal range of motion, especially when lifting your legs or while walking or running. If you have a degenerative hip joint condition, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bone necrosis, fracture or in  lesser cases, hip joint diseases found in children. If you are not getting enough support or pain relief from medications, conservative treatment and orthopaedic assistive devices for walking such as a cane or walker. In partial hip replacement, only the head of the femur is replaced by a metal ball so that it will glide into the socket smoothly. In a total hip replacement, both the ball and socket are replaced.  Total hip replacement surgery or hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure where the damaged bone and cartilage of the hip joint is removed and replaced with prosthetic parts. A socket made of a...

Article in English: Your hormones have a lot to do with your monthly period, so it is important to take your cycle into account when beginning to use the cream to raise your progesterone levels. Your hormones are working as a team to trigger ovulation, so it's important to help balance the hormones.  You can chart your cycle by identifying the expected first day of your next period, then counting backwards two weeks (14 days) from then. This would be day 14 for a woman with a cycle duration of 28 days, or day 21 for another woman with a cycle duration of 35 days. The exact day will differ from woman to woman according to her calculations and and her cycle's usual duration. Generally, you will want to apply the cream twice a day, unless instructed otherwise by your doctor. Since you will likely want to apply the cream at home (so you don't have to tote it to work), you should choose two times when you are generally at home. Try to apply once in the morning, after your shower, and once at night, before bedtime. As with any medication or supplement, it can be very helpful to get into a routine when applying your progesterone cream. Make it a habit to apply your cream at the same time each day. Soon, the application will be second nature, and you will be less likely to forget a dose. If you learn that you are pregnant while using the cream, keep applying your normal doses. It is important that your progesterone levels do not drop early in a pregnancy, as that could result in loss of the fetus. Make sure to consult your doctor before you stop applying the cream.

Article in English: Your horse is sensitive to your emotional state. She'll be quick to pick up on your irritability or frustration. If you've decided that your horse is difficult, then she will be. Instead, approach your horse with a feeling of optimism and trust. This will increase the chances that she'll respond in the same way!  Talk to your horse frequently, whenever you're in the pen. Give her a nickname that describes the best way she can be, rather than focusing on her more difficult qualities.  Remember that a relationship, whether with a horse or with a person, always has two partners. Knowing your own weaknesses as a trainer will help you from blaming your horse for behaviors which are yours. Spending more time with your horse will help develop a positive relationship. Hang out with your horse, even if you're just reading a book in her stall, or cleaning the barn nearby. She should get used to your presence, and associate it with good things. Talk to your horse frequently and reassuringly. When talking with your horse, your voice should always be kind and positive. Never shout at your horse in an angry voice.  Communication happens verbally and nonverbally. All communication with your horse should be kind. An violent yank on a halter, or a jerk on the reins, communicates angrily to your horse. This erodes trust, and should be avoided. Make sure your communication with your horse is clear, concise and consistent. Good grooming for your horse provides a daily opportunity to bond. Brushing your horse, caring for her hooves, combing her mane are all opportunities to practice positive communication. Developing consistent patterns of behavior will help increase your horse's ability to trust you. If you're predictable to your horse, your horse will be more likely to trust you.

Article in English: Your horse needs to have access to shelter throughout the year. Although horses are considered a hardy animal, they need a barrier that protects them from the elements. Their shelter needs to be dry, safe, and comfortable, with protection from rain, wind, snow, as well as from heat and biting insects.  Shelter can mean anything from a windbreak, a three-sided shed, or a clean and dry run-in area of a barn. You can also board your horse at a stable. This can cost anywhere from $100 to $500 a month depending on the type of stable (simple pasture boarding tends to be less expensive) and geographic location. Sometimes you can do chores around the barn in exchange for cutting down on the cost of boarding. Although horses can sleep while standing up, they get much better sleep lying down, which requires adequate bedding. The bedding needs to be kept clean so that it doesn't cause health issues like bed sores or hair loss. When you put new bedding in the stall, remove the soiled bedding and replace it with clean bedding.  Straw is the inexpensive choice. It's warm and comfortable, but it can contain fungal spores that can make your horse sick, so be sure you're monitoring your horse's health. Additionally, keep your straw dry and covered to reduce the risk of fungal growth. Wood shavings (dust free) are sometimes more expensive but can be a good option because they are clean and hygienic. Additionally, your horse will be less likely to eat them, which reduces the risk of your horse eating something harmful that's gotten on its bedding. Always check that your wood shavings are appropriate for horses and use caution, as some types of wood, like Black Walnut, are toxic to horses.  Hemp has started to grow in popularity, because you don't have as much trouble with fungal spores as straw. Your horse, if they're of an average size, will consume about 20 lbs. worth of food every day. Horses have relatively small stomachs and rather delicate digestive systems, so they tend to nibble and graze through the day, rather than...

Article in English: Your horse’s nutritional needs will vary according to the amount of fresh grass she has consumed while out to pasture and the level of activity she has had. Evaluate your horse’s needs every day to determine whether to subtract or add from her regular feeding amounts.  If your horse has been out to pasture all day and has been eating lots of grass, she will not require as much hay. If your horse has had a hard workday with lots of riding, then you will need to provide more food to help replenish the extra calories she burned. Don’t feed your horse right before or right after she has finished doing something strenuous because blood flow will be diverted away from her organs and that can interfere with digestion. Plan feedings around your horse’s scheduled activity. If your horse will be doing something extra strenuous, schedule her feeding for three hours before the activity. If you need to change your horse’s feed, do not just switch to the new feed. Start by replacing 25% of the old feed with the new feed. In two days, replace 50% of the old feed with the new feed. Two days after that, replace 75% of the old feed with the new feed. Then two days after that you will be able to give your horse 100% new feed.  In addition to making food changes gradually, you should also feed your horse at about the same time every day. Horses perform better when they have a regular feeding schedule. Making drastic changes to your horse’s feed or feeding schedule can lead to equine colic and founder. Equine colic is a condition that causes severe abdominal pain and may even require surgery. Founder is a condition that causes poor circulation and can even lead to the separation of the hoof from the foot. Founder is often fatal.

Article in English: Your husband may start being subtly passive aggressive without him even noticing it. The trick is to pick up on the behaviors before things spiral out of control. You may notice him slipping in his responsibilities ever so slightly, procrastinating more than usual, or finding excuses for things. When you notice these signs, you can disengage from the conflict before more overt passive aggression comes forth. While your first reaction may be to nag him or explode on him for his behavior, resist the urge to do so. You may turn into a parent role, which won’t go well for you or your husband. It’s unlikely you want to parent your husband, and it’s unlikely he wants to be placed in the child role in your marriage. If you feel yourself about to react, stop yourself and take a moment. Think about the way you feel and what thoughts are going through your head. Take a deep breath before saying anything. Don’t play his game. If you start in on the passive aggressiveness, then you will cycle the behavior until both of you are utterly unhappy. Instead, approach him in saying, “We have a problem that we need to work through.” If he is chronically late, say, “We have a difficulty getting out of the house in time when we have places to be. What do you think would be helpful in ensuring we get places on time?” Maybe his lines used to work in guilting you or accepting blame, but put an end to it. Don’t let these tactics work on you any longer. If he says, “I’m not mad” but clearly is, make a request for him to be honest with you and share how he is feeling. If he says, “I was only joking”, make sure you communicate that those kind of jokes are disrespectful and not appreciated. If he says, “Why are you so mad?” Communicate clearly that his behavior is upsetting. “When you don’t communicate with me, it’s really frustrating. I’d like to know what’s going on that feels challenging to you.”

Summary in Russian:

Обратите внимание на предупреждающие сигналы. Не накаляйте обстановку. Будьте уверены в себе. Будьте непоколебимы.


Article in English: Your husband will not have the opportunity to miss you if you are constantly seeing each other or talking to each other. Give him the chance to see what life would really be like without you by leaving him alone for a while.  One of you will have to move out for this to work. If you have a friend or relative you can stay with, spend some time there. You can let your husband know that you hope the separation will only be temporary. Try this for about a month. This will give both of you adequate time to think about your relationship, and it will give him the time he needs to start missing you. It will be much easier to not contact your husband if you avoid checking up on him. You may want to unfollow him on social media so you won't be tempted to comment on his status updates. Don't ask mutual friends about how he is doing either. Use your time apart to work on becoming the best version of yourself as you can. You may want to try to become more physically fit, work on your emotional stability, or expand your intellectual horizons. When you and your husband reunite, he will notice the difference and find it very attractive! In addition to making yourself more attractive to your husband, this will help you feel better about yourself. If the marriage doesn't end up working out, you will be in a much better position to get through it. You husband will be more likely to miss you if he sees that you are happy and fun to be around. Try socializing with friends and doing activities that you enjoy. When you and your husband begin communicating again, your happiness will be very enticing. Don't go out of your way to show him that you don't need him. Your goal should be to make him want to share in your happiness, not to make him resent you for it. Once you do start talking to your husband again, give him a reason to miss the happy times that you had together. Instead of focusing on the negatives of your relationship, try bringing up some of your favorite memories.  There are many ways that you can remind him of happy...

Article in English: Your iPad will need to be connected to an AirPrint-compatible printer in order to print anything. To see if your printer is AirPrint compatible, go to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201311 in your computer's web browser and look for your printer's model number.  You can press Ctrl+F (Windows) or ⌘ Command+F (Mac) and then type in your printer's model number to speed up this process. If your printer isn't listed on this page, look for "AirPrint compatible" (or similar) on the printer's packaging or documentation. If you determine that your printer isn't compatible with AirPrint, you can't use it to print from your iPad. Make sure the printer is plugged into an electrical outlet, then press the "Power" button on the printer. Skip this step if your printer is already on. In order to connect to your printer via AirPrint, your printer cannot be connected to your computer via Bluetooth, nor can it be connected to a router via an Ethernet cable.  You can disconnect your printer from a router by unplugging the connected Ethernet cable from the back of your printer. Disabling your printer's Bluetooth will vary from model to model, so check your printer's manual or online documentation for specific instructions on disabling Bluetooth if your printer is connected to a computer via Bluetooth. If your printer isn't already connected to a Wi-Fi network, use the printer's menu to select a strong Wi-Fi connection. This step will vary depending on your printer model, so check your printer's manual or online documentation for specific steps on connecting to Wi-Fi. Tap the Settings app icon, which resembles a grey box with gears on it. It's near the top-left side of the screen. Doing so opens your iPad's Wi-Fi menu. Your iPad needs to be on the same exact wireless network to which you connected your AirPrint printer. If you aren't connected to the same network, tap the name of the printer's network, enter the password if asked, and tap Join. For optimal results, you'll want to be within a few feet of your printer, though...

Article in English: Your iPhone will need to have a full charge before starting the reset process. To be on the safe side, plug your iPhone into the wall charger and leave it plugged in during the entire reset. You can reset your iPhone from the Settings app. You can find the Settings app on one of your Home screens, and the icon looks like a set of gears. It may be in a folder labeled "Utilities." You'll see the "Reset" option at the bottom of the menu. You'll be asked to confirm that you want to proceed with erasing all of the data. You may be prompted for your screen passcode and your restrictions passcode, if you have one. This can take anywhere from 15-30 minutes, depending on the iPhone. You won't be able to use the phone during the reset process. Make sure to leave your phone plugged in during the entire process, and don't hold the power button while the phone is resetting. Once the reset process is complete, you can safely get rid of your iPhone or set it up again as new. If you are setting it up as new, you'll be able to restore your iCloud or iPhone backup and retrieve all of your data.  If you are giving away or selling your iPhone, you'll need to disassociate it from your iCloud account. This will allow the new owner to activate and access the phone. If you don't deactivate, the next owner will not be able to use the phone at all. Visit icloud.com/#settings, click the phone you are getting rid of, then click the "X" next to the phone in the list. See Get-Rid-of-an-Old-Cell-Phone for more details on recycling your old iPhone.

Article in English: Your idea’s feasibility relies upon its uniqueness, newness, and relevance. Talk to industry experts you know in person or via professional networks, read professional journals, and catch up on the latest industry news. You should have answers for the following questions:  Has someone already implemented my idea? If they weren’t successful, is my version better? What are top industry competitors concerned about? How large are the profits and markets of this industry? How fast does this industry make decisions and change? What other industries or products are related to this industry? Do I like this industry? Is it worth my time? By fleshing out your idea, you make a more consistent and realistic product to sell. Create a list of bullet points of answers to the questions below. Use the answers as a foundation for selling your idea.  The problem you’re solving: What problem does your idea solve? How many people could benefit from your idea? What other solutions currently exist? The strengths and weaknesses of your idea: Why is your idea better? What do you need for your idea to be successful? Why might it fail? The opportunities and threats to your idea: How large is the market for your idea? How profitable is your idea? Who are your competitors? Your idea must be legal to sell for others to buy it. Contact intellectual property and patent lawyers to understand how to use the law to protect and sell your idea. Lawyers can help you get  a nondisclosure agreement, which disallows individuals from sharing information you told them "patent pending" status, which allows you to retain your idea for a shorter period while you try to sell it. This step proves whether your product can be executed and has any value. Test runs also show you how to improve your idea as a profitable product. Depending on your idea, a test run could mean anything from iterating on a functional prototype to starting a small business in your hometown.  Create a timeline for yourself. Do you want to accomplish these test runs in a few days? A...

Article in English: Your inner gentleman tells you the things to do that you know you should — but sometimes are too lazy — to do:  Paying for dates, unless the love-interest in question views the act as some barbaric throwback to a more misogynistic time. Treat with caution. Opening doors, helping into chairs, and saying "please" and "thank you." Generally putting the lover in question ahead of yourself out of respect. Doing domestic duties. Some men who are already in long-term relationships shirk their domestic duties: forgetting to take out the trash, do the dishes, change the diapers. Real men know that they must share in domestic duties, as unpleasant as they may be. Being a gracious loser. Man are naturally competitive, making this a tough one for some. Accept defeat with the same grace that you accept victory. Easier said than done. Men love the chase of romance, but too often get lured into bragging about the conquest. Don't fall victim to the notion that if you don't brag about it, it didn't happen. Success in love speaks loud enough for itself. A quiet confidence will perhaps even suggest to your friends that you're a regular Lothario, even if you're not. A simple list of dos and don'ts:   Do:  Listen to what they have to say. Forgive them when they make a simple mistake. Follow through on what you say you'll do. Treat them the same way you'd like to be treated.    Don't:  Hold them to unrealistic expectations. Manipulate them to get whatever you want. Treat them as an object instead of a person. Assume that you know how they'll feel or react. Lots of guys rush people into uncomfortable situations. By doing this, they not only alienate the lover but also keep themselves from getting what they want. Straight men know that when it comes to dating, the lady sets the pace: if she wants to rush into a whirlwind romance, he's usually game; if she wants to take things slower, he'll reassure her that he's there for the long-haul. By letting her set the pace, the man sets the relationship up for success and usually ends up...

Article in English: Your instructor will show you the basic boxing moves like jabs, uppercuts and hooks and instead of just knowing the terminology, you'll be getting good at it. You will also be given pointers in footwork, positioning and defense moves. A good trainer will also work on your secondary skills, like endurance and agility. When he sends you running around the block, it's for good reason. And don't expect to be sparring just yet – he'll let you know when you're there. The number of ways a boxer can better his or her body is endless. A good program will include heavy and speed bag punching, circuit training and jumping rope. You should be training outside of the ring several times per week at a minimum. You should be doing cardio and weight training, in addition to brushing up secondary skills with dance, yoga, interval training, and core exercises. That being said, have a day or so a week where you take it a bit easier – you don't want to wear your body out without even getting into a fight. These workouts should last 90 minutes and be done three to four times per week. A good boxing based workout would be 20 minutes of sit-ups and push-ups, 20 minutes on a stationary bike and then 30 minutes of jogging. The session could finish with 10 minutes of jump roping and 10 minutes of sparring with a punching bag or, if possible, another person. A 3-mile run shouldn't really be a problem for you. Combine it with jumping rope, jumping jacks, sit-ups, push-ups, and bag work. See how long you last before you tire yourself out and your technique starts failing. You should be doing 20-30 minutes of dynamic stretching (rotating joints, working out any particularly stiff spots, no stretches held for a long time) before a workout and/or sparring. After any workouts spend a considerable amount of time doing some long static stretches (stretches that are held for a long time). This helps prevent injuries and reduce muscle stiffness. You may laugh, but taking up yoga isn't a bad idea. It'll help with your muscle tone, flexibility and...

Начните работать с тренером. Приступайте к комплексному тренировочному режиму. Начните проводить довольно интенсивные тренировки. Не забывайте разминаться. Начните соблюдать спортивную диету. Работайте над выносливостью. Тренируйте и свой дух.


Article in English: Your insult can either be broad, such as wearing a T-shirt with an insulting message intended for no specific person or directed to a specific person for a specific bad behavior. Broad insults are great for days when you are angry at the world or want to be seen as a crusty curmudgeon while specific insults are best when you want to haul someone up short for doing wrong by you.  Being specific also lets you focus on the person's behavior instead of on the person as a whole when the person's action is what makes you deliver an insult. Being broad-based, in contrast, can be useful when you have had enough of a person because of the sum total of his or her bad behaviors and wish to have nothing further to do with that person. Here, an Old World-style curse to wander the earth forever and never know a moment's peace may be better than a few choice words from Don Rickles' repertoire. You can deliver your insult directly to the recipient of your wrath in no uncertain terms, damn him or her with faint praise, or let someone else insult the recipient for you.  Insulting the person directly requires you to be willing to confront others, both the person you are insulting and any of his or her supporters who may be within earshot. You will also have to be prepared for any possible reprisals, whether in the form of counter-insults, threats, or acts of violence, or criminal acts against your property. Damning with faint praise means to use words that sound innocuous or even complimentary, but are actually intended to put someone down. Examples would be calling someone "alliaceous" or "cepaceous," which compare the person to a bulb of garlic or an onion, or branding someone who speaks nonsense a "phlyarologist." These words are best delivered in a gentle tone of voice and to recipients whose vocabulary is not as large as yours.  Letting someone else insult the person for you can mean reporting actual derogatory comments made by a third party to the recipient, embellishing the third party's comments to make them insulting...

Article in English: Your interest may be unrequited, but if he does flirt with you, put an end to it. You can simply stop flirting back, or you can tell him you no longer feel comfortable with this behavior. It’s okay if it feels difficult to stop the flirtation. Just realize that the flirtation will only end up hurting you, him, and his girlfriend in the end.  Don’t become the other woman or mistress. You may get to be with him, but it is unfair to everyone involved. Even if he offers to leave his girlfriend for you, consider if this step would be worth it. Think about it this way: if he is willing to leave his girlfriend for you, what would he do to you when he finds "the newest thing"? At some point, you may find yourself wondering why he is with his girlfriend and not you. This is not a healthy way of thinking. Don’t look at her pictures and compare yourself to her. You are a unique and wonderful person on your own. It could be that you and the guy are just not meant to be. If his girlfriend is your friend, try to maintain the friendship without taking your feelings out on her. It will probably take some time to get over him. Don’t feel like you have to feel happy again very fast or move on immediately. Let yourself cry, feel sad, or even wallow in bed for a day if you need to. Letting yourself feel sad is the only way you can truly feel better later on. If the problem persists for too long, reach out to a professional for help. Don't put yourself in a situation where you have to be around him in the early stages. It would too tempting to flirt with him or rekindle your infatuation. If you share a class or work together, make an effort to limit your time around him to as little as possible. This helps you to move forward with your life. After some time apart, consider if you want him in your life. It may not be a good idea to keep him in your life if you had an affair with him. If he was a friend, then it would be okay to try to maintain the friendship. Slowly begin to spend some time with him again to see if you would feel...

Article in English: Your interviewer is probably really busy, so they’ll appreciate your acknowledgement of their time. Shake their hand and tell them that you’re appreciative of the chance to interview. Additionally, thank them for any special help they’ve given you, such as telling you more about the company, explaining where to park, or setting the interview at a time that works for you. Say, “Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me. I really appreciate the information you provided about this great opportunity.” It’s common for people to change their mind about a job after their interview. Because of this, your interviewer is likely to focus on the candidates who seem the most excited about filling this position. Before you leave, make it clear that you want this job by directly telling the interviewer. You might say, “I know this job is a perfect fit for my skills, and I hope I get the chance to help your company reach its goals.” Some interviewers perceive a follow-up as an indication that a person is really interested. For most jobs, it’s best to send a brief email telling the interviewer that you appreciate the opportunity and are available to discuss the job further. However, you might send a handwritten note if you work in a creative industry or the non-profit sector. Write, “Dear Mr. Jones, Thank you for taking the time to meet with me today. I’m even more excited about this opportunity. I’d really like the opportunity to talk to you more about what I can do for your company. Thanks, Amy Lincoln.” During a second interview, you'll typically expand on your work history and abilities, often with stories about your past jobs. Identify additional stories that you can use to show that you'll fit into this position. Additionally, review a list of out-of-the-box interview questions so you can practice thinking on your feet.  It's likely that you'll interview with a panel or several different people. Assume that you're going to be talking to several people from different departments. Get someone you trust to ask...

Article in English: Your introduction should pull the reader into your essay while giving them a general idea as to what the essay will be about. Use the introduction to set the time and place of the event or moment you’ll be talking about, giving the reader background information. Your body paragraphs, whether you write 1, 2, or 3, should be used to talk about your chosen summer event or moment. This is where you go into detail and explain what happened so that the reader can visualize your summer vacation. Your conclusion is where you wrap up the summer vacation essay. Explain why you chose to write about the specific moment, or what you learned from the experience. Make sure your conclusion doesn’t just copy the introduction.

Summary in Russian:

Начните с сильного вступления. Используйте абзацы основной части, чтобы рассказать о своем воспоминании. Напишите заключение, объясняющее цель воспоминания.


Article in English: Your job is a lot easier if you know he likes you. If he smiles at you or goes out of his way to see you or spend time with you, these are good signs that he’s interested. He might tell you he likes you or you might find out from a friend that he likes you. Your biggest job now is building your confidence to tell him you feel the same way. If he doesn’t know who you are or sees you as a friend, then you have some more work to do. As a shy person, you’ll probably want to be flirty before going up to a guy and telling him you like him. Gauge his interest and see if he flirts back. In many ways, “actions speak louder than words” so let your non-verbals do the work. Try some basics of flirting such as laughing at a joke he makes or touching him lightly on the arm. This can drop the hint that you’re interested. Notice how he responds and whether he moves toward you or moves away from you. You don’t have to be over-the-top. Being subtle can almost be better, as you might carry some mystery. Part of your shyness might be imagining the worst that could happen. But what really is the worst thing that might occur? Be realistic and rational. He might say he doesn’t feel the same, but it’s highly unlikely he’ll make fun of you or embarrass you. If he does embarrass you, this reflects more on him being a jerk than anything else and others will see that, too. Instead of making the situation difficult or scary, frame it as a challenge. Are you up for the challenge? Whatever happens, you’ll know you pushed yourself out of your comfort zone. Give yourself credit for trying, even if it doesn’t turn out the way you want it to.

Article in English: Your kidneys may suddenly become diseased or can become diseased because another condition causes damage. For example, high blood pressure and diabetes can damage your kidneys. If the damage is severe enough, you may develop chronic kidney failure. This usually takes place over the course of several months or years. You might develop primary kidney disease if your the nephrons in your kidneys lose their ability to filter blood. Other kidney problems (like kidney stones, infection, or trauma) can damage the nephrons. Since chronic kidney disease takes time to develop, you may not notice symptoms until you already have advanced kidney disease. Watch for these symptoms of chronic kidney disease:  Increased or decreased frequency of urination Fatigue Nausea Itching and dry skin anywhere on the body Obvious blood in the urine or dark, foamy urine Muscle cramps and muscle twitches Puffiness or swelling around the eyes, feet and/or ankles Confusion Difficulty breathing, concentrating, or sleeping Decreased appetite Weakness If you have a history of high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease, you may have a higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease. African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans also have higher risk of kidney disease. Since some kidney diseases also have a genetic component, family history of kidney disease can mean that you're also at a higher risk. Also, talk to your doctor about all the medications you're taking, as some can adversely affect the kidneys, especially with prolonged use. If you're over 60 years old, you also have an increased risk of kidney disease. It's easy to assume that other conditions could be causing your symptoms, so if you're experiencing any symptoms you should get a medical examination to determine the exact cause. Yearly physicals are important for catching kidney disease (even before symptoms present themselves). It's also a good idea to talk with your doctor about your family history and any concerns you have about your kidney function. Your doctor will...

Узнайте о хронической болезни почек (ХБП). Распознайте симптомы хронической почечной болезни. Рассмотрите факторы риска. Знайте, когда следует обратиться за медицинской помощью. Получите диагноз хронической болезни почек. При лечении выполняйте предписания врача.


Article in English: Your knee-jerk response to being asked for a favor may be to say "Yes." Make a habit of not giving an automatic "Yes" all the time. When asked to do something, instead respond with, "I'll think about it" or "Can I get back to you on that? I'd like to, but I might have something scheduled."  Saying "I'll think about it" will usually get the person off your back. This will give you time to genuinely consider your response. After agreeing to think something over, you can decide later whether or not you agree. If you decide against doing something, you can give a firm "No" later. For example, a friend asks if you'll watch her cat over the holiday weekend. Say, "I have to look over my schedule. Let me think about it." While you should be firm when saying "No," you'll also feel better if you're polite. When letting someone down, soften the blow by starting with a compliment. Express gratitude at having been asked or invited. For example, "I'm glad you feel comfortable asking me to watch Bella. It means a lot knowing that you trust me with your cat because I know how much you care about her." " After the initial kindness, you can say "No." Be firm here. You want to make it clear you are giving a firm "No" so the person does not press the issue or ask you again. For example, "I just don't really have the time to run back and forth from your place this weekend. I already have a lot of plans with family." You want to leave things on a good note. You can be firm without being rude or aggressive. Thank the person for thinking of you, and wish them good luck. For example, "Again, I'm glad to know you trust me with Bella. Good luck finding someone else to watch her."

Article in English: Your knees should be close together and your hands spread apart. Your fingers should be pointed straight forward. Keep your head tucked at the chin to keep from hurting yourself. Only do this move on a mat or another very soft surface. Straighten your legs to push forward onto your back. Keep your head tucked in. It should never touch the ground. Make sure to keep your spine bent and your legs tucked together. Use your arms for support and added momentum. While you're on your back, bend your knees back together and hold your shins. Roll forward with the momentum generated by your legs. You should end flat on your feet in an upright squatting position. Do this and Step 2 all in one fluid motion to successfully complete a forward roll. An experienced gymnast should be able to do this without pushing off from the floor with his or her hands. However, until you've practiced enough, it's perfectly fine if you need your hands. If you feel unbalanced at all, don't hesitate to use your arms for support.

Article in English: Your laptop probably came with some basic accessory software: a simple word processor, a calculator and maybe some basic photo sharing software. Laptops also have special software for controlling power and graphics; they'll will often require a lot of driver updates before they'll be ready to use.  With a little know-how, you can add software to dramatically boost your laptop's capabilities — in many cases, for free.    You will need to update your laptop's version of Windows if your laptop is Windows-based. Your Windows-based laptop might use Windows Update or the manufacturer's own software to update Windows.   If you are using a Mac laptop, use MacOS's built-in upgrade option. On a Mac laptop these are usually easy to find. For basic drafting and note-taking, your laptop's built-in software accessories will suffice, but for more serious academic or professional work, you're going to want a more full office suite.   OpenOffice can do word processing, spreadsheets and presentations, similar to proprietary software like Microsoft Word - but for free.  Use Google Docs as an online alternative to office suites. Google Docs is 'cloud-based' office software that offers a lot of the same functionality as OpenOffice or Microsoft Office. It's free to use and very powerful, in particular if you have to share documents with others. If you simply have to use Microsoft Office, you might be able to get it for free or a discount if you're a student. Check before you go down to the store and buy a copy. Your laptop may have come from the factory with some basic photo software. It's quick, easy and in some cases free to upgrade it.    Use Photo Stream to organize and share your photos. If you have an iPhone or if your laptop is a Mac, you can follow our basic setup instructions to get Photo Stream up and sharing your photos.   You can use Picasa to organize and share your photos. Picasa is made by Google and provides you with a lot of the basic tools you'll need to work with photos like cropping, retouching and even...

Article in English: Your laptop should come with a power cable and a battery. Some laptops may have the battery already installed, while other will need to have the battery inserted after you unpack it. Most laptops don't have a full charge when you receive them. You may want to let the battery charge completely before turning it on for the first time, but you can plug it in and turn it on anytime. Before you can download any programs or start using the internet, you will need to connect your computer to a network. Most laptops connect wirelessly, though some laptops will have an Ethernet port that allows you to connect via Ethernet cable.  See this guide for details on setting up a wireless connection. If your laptop doesn't have an Ethernet port but you want to connect via Ethernet cable, you can use a USB Ethernet adapter. Plug the USB adapter into a USB port on your laptop and it will be automatically installed. Chances are that your installed operating system and programs have been updated since the computer was built. You may be prompted to download and install updates, which is essential for keeping your computer secure and stable.  See this guide for details on installing the latest Windows updates. You may be prompted to restart your computer to complete the update process. Now that you are connected to the internet and Windows has been updated, you can start installing your essential programs. If you're upgrading computers, don't just install all the old programs you used to have installed. Instead, take some time to evaluate what you really need. Only installing the essentials will help keep your computer running smoother.  Antivirus - This should be the first program that you install, no matter what.

Article in English: Your last round should reach the bottom of your base round without stretching. You may be tempted to cheat, but this will result in a scrunchie that looks small and flat rather than full and ruffled. When you are done, it is time to join the two ends into a doughnut shape. You're going to use this yarn to sew up the edges.  Thread a blunt knitting needle onto the end of the yarn and sew the two edges together. Make sure that the stitches on both rounds line up so that you get a smooth join. Tie a knot in the end of the yarn and break it off. Leave about 4 inches (10 cm) of yarn. You can do this with the yarn needle or the hook. Once you see how easy it is, you'll be making lots more!

Article in English: Your learned helplessness may have taken root due to the circumstances of your development. Try to find the root of your learned helplessness. Think back on events in your early life that may have contributed to the way you think today.  For instance, in childhood, you may have been neglected or abused by your parents, and, therefore, learned that you could not expect adults to help. Or, you may have been raised by adults who felt crippled by the system and unable to improve their lives (and had learned helplessness themselves). Reflect on your early experiences to identify the starting point of your beliefs. You may even ask friends or loved ones about your behavior to see if they can spot a common denominator that influenced who you are today. Bring awareness to how learned helplessness affects your daily life. You can do this by recognizing the beliefs that influence your behavior. You should also observe your use of self-defeating, helpless language. By identifying this pessimistic language, you can work to change it.  Grab a notebook and write out some of your general beliefs about life. These might sound like “if you’re not born wealthy, you’ll never have wealth” or “good people always finish last.” Take note of your self-talk by writing down thoughts you have along the lines of “I’m a loser,” “I’ll never get that promotion,” or “if I was beautiful, maybe guys would notice me.” Your thoughts and beliefs have the ability to shape who you are as a person. How you think can influence what goals you set, what career you pursue, and even the kind of people you date. Even though you might want more for your life, your thoughts may have handicapped you into settling. For instance, from the earlier example, you believed “If you’re not born wealthy, you’ll never have wealth.” If you allow this belief to take root, it may unfold just that way in your own life. You might mess up opportunities to make more money or stay in a constant cycle of debt.

Article in English: Your leggings should be tight enough to snugly cover your legs, but not so tight that people can see every dimple in your legs. Make sure that they aren't so loose that they start to bunch over your legs, because that isn't very flattering either. You'll find ones that fit well not only look better, but feel more comfortable. Though anyone can wear leather leggings, they tend to be unforgiving and can bunch and cause unflattering lines on some body types. Some believe this not to be the case, and they are entitled to their opinion. You can comfortably step out of the house wearing pants and a shirt, as you can do the same with leggings, if you like. As long as you won't be revealing too much, wear what you wish.  Pair leggings with a longer top or jacket. Even if the shirt hits below your butt, you'll still look like you stepped out of the house without putting everything on. Wear your leggings with a dress, a skirt, or even shorts. Leggings look great with knee-high boots, sandals, flip-flops, or even low-cut boots. If you wear your leggings with heels or pumps, make sure that they match your shirt and that you don't look too trashy. Leggings can also look good with ballet flats or moccasins, as long as the shoes go with the rest of the outfit. You may have looked great in your perfect black leggings once upon a time, but after you've run them through the wash about a hundred times, you may notice that they rise a few inches above your ankles or they've gone saggy at the knee.  When you notice this unpleasant phenomenon, it's time to save those leggings for days when you won't be stepping out of the house, or for wearing under trousers or pants on very cold days Jeggings are jean leggings, which is a cross between jeans usually, or other pants and leggings. Tight, sleek jeggings can help spice up an ordinary outfit, and you can wear them as you could wear pants. Denim blue ones with a 'boyfriend' cream sweater and loafers is a classic look.  While leggings and a top that falls to your waist is a big no-no in...

Article in English: Your legs are the powerhouse of your jump. The stronger your leg muscles are, the harder you can propel yourself upwards to a maximum vertical leap. The type of exercises you can do will depend on the equipment you have available to you. Consult a health or fitness specialist to ensure your body is able to strengthen itself in a healthy manner.  Focus on exercises that mimic the jumping motion. A good way to do this is by doing squats, which can be done with or without equipment. Squats can be done by simply standing with your legs shoulder width apart and lowering your body towards the ground with your back straight and knees bent at a 45-degree angle as if you were sitting down on a chair. Stand up straight and repeat. Increase the intensity by adding weights, being careful to incrementally increase weights as your strength increases.  Lunges strengthen your glutes and can be done with or without equipment. Lunges can be done by simply standing up straight and taking one step forward with your back straight and knee bent at a 45-degree angle. Step out farther for a more difficult lunge. Stand up straight and repeat, making sure to alternate legs. Increase the intensity by adding weights, being careful to incrementally increase weights as your strength increases.  Before using any equipment, consult a specialist to ensure its proper use. This muscle group is essential to jumping higher. Calf raises are an easy and effective exercise that can be done with or without equipment. Calf raises can be done by standing up straight with your feet on the ground and then moving up onto your tippy toes. Stand at a ledge to increase the range of motion to your muscles. You can also do one leg at a time making sure to alternate between each leg to ensure balance. Increase the intensity by adding weights, being careful to incrementally increase weights as your strength increases. Contrary to popular belief, jumping isn't just about the muscles in your legs. Your core muscles in your back and abdominals are a big part of...

Article in English: Your level of SGPT is measurable through a blood sample. In case of acute liver damage, SGPT levels rise dramatically as it is now able to leak through cell walls into your blood. However, a rise in SGPT levels must be verified carefully because it may be elevated due to recently performing strenuous activities or exercises.  An elevation in SGPT’s level is not a confirmation of a diagnosis of damage to the liver. It must be used together with the other types of liver tests in order to verify whether a patient really suffers from damage to the liver. Different underlying causes might cause different levels of SGPT elevation. For example, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is the leading cause of mild SGPT elevation in the U. S. Fatty liver is a condition associated with obesity and insulin resistance. Mild SGPT elevation can also be associated with strenuous exercise or thyroid disease. If your liver is already damaged and you continue to take drugs that your physician did not prescribe, the liver carries the burden of metabolizing these drugs and filtering harmful substances which can further contribute to liver damage. It is best to take only the drugs which your doctor okays you to take.  If in doubt, consult with your physician. There are drugs that are hepatotoxic (toxic to the liver). Your doctor may shift you to non-hepatotoxic drugs. Your pharmacist can also advise you about what over-the-counter medications might be harmful to your liver. Medications such as antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can cause elevated SGPT and SGOT levels. It’s wise to talk to your primary doctor about different types of medications to prevent possible liver damage. Be particularly careful about using medications that contain acetaminophen. Acetaminophen is a common component in many OTC medications, including pain medications and cold and flu remedies. This medication works by reducing the activity of the body’s immune system. It also decreases inflammation by reducing the production of...

Article in English: Your life does not have to be about pleasing the people who care about you. They may not understand at first, but doing what you want should be a life investment. They have plenty of time to get used to the idea.  It may be easier at the beginning to do things other people want for you. However, what you want is a decision that must be made by you alone. And in the long run, working for your own passions will ultimately prove to be the most profitable thing you can do for you. If you are working for what other people think of you, you will probably end up on a path that is less satisfying for you. Consider what you have to give others. Do not confuse what other people want for you with what you want for yourself. For example, if you are choosing a major in college, do not choose the major others tell you to pursue unless it is what really excites you. Be patient and persistent in doing what you want. Taking ownership means that you will have to make your actions match what you want to be both on a daily basis and year by year. To become what you want will require problem solving. For example, if you want to go to a college that has the program you need to pursue your dream and it is out of your reach as a freshman, go to a community college first and then transfer. A problem solver is someone who actively brainstorms ideas to solve a problem, evaluates those ideas to see how they might work out, and then executes the idea. This means following your instincts. Think about the worst thing that could happen. Risk is when you are willing to accept the worst thing that can happen. Often you will have to fail in order to achieve the things you want. Once you learn how to live with that possibility, nothing will be able to stop you. If you are going to become successful in doing what you want, you will be your only true boss. Because you are your own guide, you should become good at following your instincts. You alone are the most knowledgeable about your own work. Profiting from your risks will take trial and...

Article in English: Your life experience (memories, opinions, emotions) is your richest resource and your perspective is what will ultimately make your song unique. Keeping a list of things that happen to you or emotions that go through you will give you a wealth of material to draw on. For example, keep note of stories that you hear or experience. They are a great source of material not only because they are unique, but also  because they  have a range of emotions. Think about an emotionally charged event in your life, such as a death, wedding, birth, falling in love, etc. Do your best to describe what you felt at that time and try to be as detailed as possible. For example, if writing about a breakup, list words that describe the scene: how you felt, the surroundings, what colors stood out to you, etc. Don't worry about rhyme or melody yet. Many of us go through our days and only write down notes, lists, emails and the like but keeping a journal will allow you to reflect on what you are going through and provide you with material from which you can mine different images and phrases for your songs. Many of us have strange, abstract dreams that we quickly forget about after waking up. Instead of letting go of those interesting images and unusual situations, keep a dream journal! Not only will writing down your dreams help you remember them for longer, but you'll have a new repository of strange and unique stories and images to use for your songs. Keep a pen and journal by your bed so that you can write down your dreams as soon as you wake up. Go for walks in public places and look at other people or your surroundings for inspiration. Lots of songwriters write about nature, other people, or interesting experiences. Get out there and let the world inspire you.  Try eavesdropping. Sometimes, listening in on someone else's conversation can open you up to a new perspective. You may even find something intriguing or lyrical in their words. If there's a place you feel particularly emotionally connected to, such as a park, go there with...

Article in English: Your light meal could include plain butter cookies, plain pound cake, or small rice crackers. Green tea goes well with sweet foods, as the tea is more bitter than the food, and will moderate the sweet taste of the food. Mochi is a Japanese glutinous rice cake that is usually circular in shape and dyed different colors. Mochi is available in savory and sweet flavors. The sweet version is known as Daifuku, which are round glutinous rice balls filled with sweet ingredients like red bean or white bean paste.

Article in English: Your lips are prone to getting dark spots from the sun, just like the rest of your skin. Protect them by using lip gloss with SPF of 15 or higher. That way your lips won't get sunburned and dark when you enjoy a day outside. Chapped lips tend to look dull and washed out. If you want bright, pretty red lips, take steps to prevent them from getting dry and flaky. Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated. Use coconut oil, almond oil, or a good healing lip balm to keep your lips moist throughout the day. Dry winter air can chap your lips much more quickly than normal, so you'll probably want to carry lip balm with you wherever you go to keep your lips healthy. You may also want to sleep with a humidifier to keep the air in your house from getting too dry. Your skin will thank you. Smoking can cause lip discoloration and wrinkling, which is the opposite of what you want if you're going for red lips. Avoid smoking cigarettes or other tobacco products.

Article in English: Your liver will become inevitably stressed while you’re taking Dianabol, due to the increased value of liver enzymes that come with taking this drug. Not using Dianabol for more than 6 weeks is the best way to prevent this extra stress from causing serious damage to your liver in the long run. For maximum safety, abstain from other drugs that may also put stress on your liver for another 6 weeks after you stop taking Dianabol. Taking Dianabol when you have high cholesterol or high blood pressure can significantly increase your risk of heart attack. You should also never take Dianabol if you have liver disease, given how much stress it puts on your liver. People with diabetes should also refrain from using Dianabol, given the increase amount of glucose it causes in the bloodstream. Both excessive alcohol consumption and taking Dianabol put stress on your liver, so doing both at the same time can cause serious liver damage. Limit your drinking to no more than 1-2 alcoholic drinks a day while using Dianabol to stay safe. For maximum safety, avoid drinking alcohol entirely while taking Dianabol. Dianabol can have a very adverse reaction when mixed with other over-the-counter medications, especially those relating to the liver. Make sure your doctor approves of any additional medication you take while using Dianabol in order to best prevent inadvertent liver damage. Dianabol and other steroids that are sold on the street or over the internet are generally not government-regulated and thus are not guaranteed to be safe to consume. Additionally, because anabolic steroids are illegal to buy or sell in many countries without a prescription, buying Dianabol without a prescription can result in a heavy fine or even jail time.

Article in English: Your local government may have building and zoning regulations that regulate fence setbacks, type, and height. If you install a fence without a permit, they may tear down the structure. This information can be obtained from city records, a realtor's line plot map, or by hiring a surveyor. Have your utility companies mark the location of your utility lines. You don't want to accidentally hit them while digging post holes. You can call 811 from anywhere in the US. Your local utility companies will then send an employee to mark your utility lines for free. Some neighborhood associations have their own rules regarding height and style, additional to the rules enforced by your town.

Article in English: Your local government may not allow goats, especially if you live in an urban area. Contact the nearest zoning board, building inspector, or other regional government office to see whether it limits farmers to certain breeds, ban only uncastrated male goats (bucks), or imposes some other limitation. Check with your landlord or homeowner association as well. Make it clear whether you are raising goats for commercial or personal use, as different regulations may apply. Goats are social animals, and are more likely to be uncooperative or try to escape if kept alone. Always keep at least two goats in each enclosure. Because uncastrated males (bucks) cannot be kept with females (does), this may require purchasing more than two goats. Keep reading for tips on deciding which sex of goats to purchase. There are three main types of goats divided by sex: females, called does; uncastrated males, called bucks; and castrated males, called wethers. Does need to be impregnated by a buck before they produce milk, but raising a buck can require a lot of extra work. Bucks require a separate enclosure, may develop a strong odor, and are often aggressive. For the easiest start to your goat farm, buy two does, and pay another goat farm for the opportunity to breed your does with its buck.  Neutered males, or wethers, are not able to breed or produce milk. They are usually purchased as barnyard pets. Many goat farms end up with wethers when their goats give birth to extra males. If you do purchase a buck, consider spending extra for one with breeding papers. You'll have a better idea of its traits and are less likely to breed defects into your herd. Young goats are called kids, or bucklings or doelings depending on sex. When around 8 weeks old, they are typically cheaper than older goats, and may be friendlier if raised around humans, but they require one to two years of care before they can be bred, produce milk, or be sold as meat. A junior kid between 6 months and 1 year old will take less time to mature, and may even come with...

Article in English: Your local library may have books on different drawing styles from realism to Japanese manga. You can also buy these at retail stores. Search on YouTube or on art websites such as How to Draw It or Drawspace for free ideas and demonstrations. Anatomy books are also an option for learning realistic drawings. Sketch skeletons and muscular diagrams. Usually it’s better to stick to one medium, such as pencil on paper, until you get comfortable. Once you start, though, you may find alternatives you like better and lead to your own style, such as colored pencils or charcoal. In addition, pencils come in many varieties that can help you expand your range when shading.  For pencils, HB (#2) is standard. Pencils in the H range are harder and make softer lines. Pencils in the B range are softer and make darker lines. Pencils go from HB-9. In H pencils, 9 is maximum hardness. In B pencils, 9 is maximum softness. Vinyl and gum erasers are gentler on paper than rubber erasers but they don’t streak color. Kneaded erasers are shapeable for removing individual details. When you’re not busy drawing, observe what’s around you. Picture how you’d turn this scene into a pencil drawing. Imagine shading around someone’s eye and sketching in the iris and pupil, for example. This imagination is how you gain insight into how to make your lines and compose your style. The goal is to see the details instead of the labels. Instead of thinking of the eye, think of the lines and colors you’ll fill in to form the eye. Drawing is very much a skill like playing an instrument or riding a bike. Whenever you have spare time, sit down and sketch. Practice shading and other techniques. Work on making reference sheets. Space out your time between sessions with subjects so you can learn more without burning yourself out.

Article in English: Your local pet store will carry many different formula options, such as Kitten Milk Replacer or Esbilac, that can be used to feed baby mice. Human formulas Enfamil (the kind without iron) and Soyalac can also be used. Whole, raw goats milk will nourish the babies as well.  Slightly warm the formula or milk before feeding; do not use hot or cold formula. Powdered formulas will need to be mixed with water per the directions on the container. The babies must be warm before feeding, or they won’t be able to digest the formula properly. If this happens, the formula will ferment in their bellies, causing diarrhea. You can keep the babies warm by placing a heating pad on a low setting underneath their enclosure. You can also use an eyedropper. If you are using a syringe or bottle, suck liquid up into the container to prepare for feeding. If you are using string, simply dip it into the formula until it is dripping. Take care to not squeeze the syringe or bottle with much force. If you see liquid bubbling from their noses, stop feeding immediately. When the mice have round, full tummies, they do not need any more food. Mice ages 0-1 week need feedings 6-8 times a day; mice 1-2 weeks need feedings 5-6 times a day; mice 2-3 weeks need feedings 4 times a day; and mice 4 weeks old only need feedings 3 times a day. Space each feeding a couple of hours apart. You will also have to feed the mice during the night. Use a cotton ball or your finger, and gently brush over their private areas. A small amount of liquid will come out, but if the baby is dehydrated, nothing may come out. Rub until there is no more liquid. For the first several days of weaning, provide a small amount of moistened rodent pellets for the weaning mice; drizzle water over the pellets to prepare them, then place them in an easily accessible area.  Soon, the mice will be nibbling at the soaked crumbles. When the mice appear to be getting stronger, try feeding them regular rodent pellets. Pet supply stores have rodent chow available, whether it comes in...

Article in English: Your main character can also be a private citizen or innocent bystander to a crime who gets drawn into solving the mystery. Brainstorm specific details of your main character, including:  Body size and shape, hair and eye color, and any other physical characteristics. For example, you may have a short female main character with dark hair, glasses, and green eyes. Or you may want a more typical detective character: tall with slicked-back hair and a five o’clock shadow. Clothing and dress. Your character’s clothing will not only create a more detailed image for your reader, it can also indicate what time period your story is set in. For example, if your main character wears heavy armor and a helmet with a crest, your reader will realize your story is set in medieval times. If your character wears a hoodie, jeans, and a backpack, this will tip off your readers that the story is likely set in modern times. What makes your main character unique. It’s important to create a main character who stands out to your reader and feels engaging enough to sustain many pages in a story or novel. Consider what your character likes and dislikes. Maybe your female sleuth is shy and awkward at parties, and has a secret love of reptiles. Or perhaps your detective is a complete klutz and doesn’t consider himself a strong or smart person. Focus on details that will help to create a unique main character and don’t be afraid to draw on details from your own life or your own preferences and tastes. Place the story in a setting you know well, like your hometown or your school. Or do some research on a setting you are unfamiliar with, like 70s California or 40s Britain. If you use a setting you have not experienced first hand, focus on specific settings, like a suburban home in 70s California or a boarding house in 40s Britain. If you decide to set your story in a time period or location you are unfamiliar with, conduct research on the time period or location through your local library, online sources, or interviews with experts in a...
