Article in English: You can use parts of your life raft to construct a system for making freshwater from seawater.  This method is most helpful if you are stranded on a beach with no fresh water. It was developed by a stranded pilot during WWII in the Pacific. Open it and fill it with sea water. Filter the seawater through a cloth so you don't get too much sand or other debris in the water.  Don't fill the bottle up too much. You will want to avoid spilling the water out the top of the bottle. Carry the water back to an area where you can make a fire. Attach the hose to one end of the leak stoppers. This will provide a tube for fresh condensed water vapor to travel out of the bottle of seawater as its heated.  Make sure the hose is free of kinks or clogs. See that the seal between the hose and leak stoppers is strong. This will help you to avoid any freshwater leaking out of the hose. Use the opposite end of the leak stoppers from where you've attached the hose. This will provide a way for water vapor to travel from the bottle as it’s heated into the hose to transport fresh water.  Make sure the seal is tight to prevent leaks. If you have any twine or tape, you can reinforce the seal with these items. This will keep the hose steady as fresh water travels through it. Keep the end of the hose exposed. This is where fresh water will trickle out.  Don't bury the gas bottle or leak stoppers. You will need to have this exposed to keep watch to make sure there are no leaks. Make sure the hose is relatively straight and free of kinks as you bury it. Place a pan underneath the exposed end of the hose. This will collect water the fresh water. This will boil the saltwater in the bottle. As the water boils, steam will condense in the top of the gas bottle and travel into the hose as freshwater. The water collected in the pan will be desalinated and safe to drink.

Article in English: You can use plain white paper (or card if you prefer) which you can later decorate with your flag's colors using crayons, pencils, markers or paint. Alternatively, you can use paper that's the same color as the base color of your flag. For example, if you were making a British flag, you could use blue paper, or if you're making a Canadian flag, you could use red paper. Lay the four sheets of paper out flat on the table and align them so that they form a rectangle. Use paper masking tape (which you can later color over) to stick the four sheets of paper together. Tape on both sides of the paper for extra strength.

Article in English: You can use plastic swords and shields that can be purchased at a dollar store, toy store, or costume store. You may also look for fake gold chains, jewelry, or amulets to accessorize your toga. Wear sandals to complete the look. Another option is to create a fake laurel wreath. Unfurl a wire coat hanger, and reshape it into a wreath around your head. Get plastic leaves from an art supply store or gather real leaves and glue them or wrap around the wire. Make sure you let the glue dry. Be liberal when applying the leaves to cover the wire.

Article in English: You can use real, hard-boiled eggs dyed or decorated for the Easter holiday, or plastic, hollow Easter eggs you can fill with goodies. Chalk eggs are also available, but this may not be a good idea when hosting indoors, as the children may draw on your furniture. Make sure an adult boils the egg. Keep in mind that real eggs may be smashed by young children, and will rot if they are not found. Consider plastic eggs if you would like to keep the indoor area clean. Plastic Easter eggs can be filled with goodies such as chocolate, candy, jelly beans, fruit, money, toys, or other small prizes that children will enjoy. Some families and groups choose to hide empty eggs, then distribute treats equally among the children after the hunt is over. Ask the parents of visiting children whether there are any treats you should avoid. Some children are allergic to nuts, and toddlers may not be able to eat chocolate or hard candies. Before you hide the eggs, you should determine which rooms or places children are safely allowed to search. For example, choose safe, open rooms such as the living room or den, instead of the utility closet where dangerous tools and chemicals are stored.  Lock off-limits rooms if possible, or hang signs that read "Do not enter" on cabinets and the doors of rooms you don't want searched. Hang the signs at the eye level of the children, and tell kids who cannot read where they are supposed to search. Store important documents, fragile items, and private objects in an off-limits area where children will not be searching. While most parents will not expect you to fully child proof your house, there are some easy and temporary safety adjustments you could make. Think about taping cardboard or foam over sharp corners of coffee tables. Move medicines and cleaning chemicals to higher shelves or locked cupboards. These precautions are especially important for toddlers and young children. If children with a wide range of ages or abilities will be hunting for Easter eggs, it might be more fun for everyone if...

Article in English: You can use rolled oats or quick oats.  Quick oats, as their name suggests, cook faster than regular (rolled) oats, but they often end up mushier than rolled oats, and have less texture.  If you wish, you could combine both types. There is no “right” amount of oats you should use.  If you are quite hungry for oatmeal, you’ll probably want 1 cup or more.  If you are just having a snack, you’ll likely use about 1/2 cup of oatmeal. If you’re cooking 1 cup of oatmeal, boil 2 cups of water.  This will ensure the oats are cooked well.  For slightly thicker oatmeal, however, you could reduce the water-to-oats ratio from 2:1 to 3:2. Substitute milk for water if you want to enjoy a stickier, thicker oatmeal. When your water is boiling, add a dash of nutmeg, brown sugar, cinnamon, or allspice.  These spices will kick your oatmeal up a notch in flavor. Add about one teaspoon of each spice and one tablespoon of sugar per cup of oatmeal. Wait about 5 minutes for the oats to absorb it and cool to an edible temperature.  Add additional spices and flavorings if you wish.

Article in English: You can use social media to keep your friends and followers informed about the causes you support. Post informative articles, write about what you are doing to stay involved and invite your friends to attend events or donate to fundraisers for your cause. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram -- each of the above is a good place to start. No matter your cause, from nuclear proliferation to gender identity and bathroom choices, you’ll meet plenty of people online with differing views than yours. Some will never be persuaded no matter what evidence you provide, but others may be willing to listen to reason, thoughtful explanations. There is “fake news” all over the internet, so do a little digging to evaluate the evidence before sharing it. Thanks to the internet, starting a petition no longer has to mean going door to door with a pen and clipboard. There are numerous websites and social media platforms that house petitions, including change.org and petitions.whitehouse.gov. To drum up support for a petition:   Establish a clear, specific, and realistic goal — “Protect the wooded area adjacent to Veterans' Park from development.” Personalize the cause by telling your story — “I, like many kids in this area, developed an appreciation for nature by walking through those woods.” Mix online and offline efforts. Encourage friends and colleagues to share your petition both online and in person. It’s easy to donate money online to existing organizations that focus on your cause, although you should always do some research on how such groups spend their money. You can also turn to the internet for crowdfunding options, either by utilizing websites like indiegogo.com or firstgiving.com or by using social media to encourage direct donations. If you’re raising money for your local animal shelter, for instance, make sure there is a clear plan in place for using the funds. Many people won’t just give money blindly without knowing what it will be used for.

Article in English: You can use the base of a cocktail shaker, a highball glass, or any other clear glass. You only need the glass to mix the juice. It is not the glass you will be drinking out of. A bar spoon is a special utensil with a long shaft, specially created for stirring cocktails.  Hold the spoon near the top of the twisted section with your thumb and first two fingers. Sink the spoon into your glass, near the side but not touching it. Twirl the shaft, moving both back and forth and up and down. Continue stirring for about 30 seconds. Chill the glass beforehand by keeping it in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes, or by storing it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Go slowly and carefully to avoid spilling any of the drink. Do not shake or stir the soda water, since doing so may cause it to go flat. Instead, allow the liquids to combine lightly and naturally. Soda water is another great way to water down the bitterness of an extremely sour juice.

Article in English: You can use the bowl you will be serving the salad in, or you can use a different bowl. You will eventually be chilling the salad for a few hours, then draining it. Try to use a seedless cucumber. If your cucumber has seeds in it, you will need to core it first. Pour the vinegar and water into a jar. Add the sugar, salt, and pepper. Close the jar tightly, then shake it to combine the ingredients. If you don't have a jar, you can use a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. You can also prepare the dressing in a cup and stir it briskly with a fork or mini whisk. Gently toss the cucumbers to help distribute the dressing. Cover the bowl with a piece of plastic wrap. Place the bowl into the fridge and leave it there for at least 3 hours. This will allow the cucumbers to soak up the flavors from the dressing. Peel the plastic wrap off of the bowl. Dump the salad into a strainer or colander. Shake the strainer or colander over a sink to get rid of any excess moisture. Toss them with some chopped fresh dill or parsley, if desired. Serve the salad immediately, or refrigerate it until you are ready to serve it.

Article in English: You can use the fabric just as it is. However, you can also sew it to make a toga that is more in line with a traditional shape. Another option is to simply hem the edges. While it won't matter with some fabrics, hemming the edges will keep your toga from fraying. If you don't care about fraying, you can skip the hemming process. The shape of the toga changed over the years. You can cut your toga to be more like a traditional toga, if you want. However, you can simply leave it as a rectangle, as well, which is how you will get it from the store.  One shape was a straight line across the top and a curve across the bottom, creating pointed ends.  A later shape was more of a hexagon, with a straight line across the top, with two lines slanting down to points. The bottom was a straight line with two lines slanting up to the same points, though these are slightly curved. This shape is flatter than an regular hexagon.  If you want either of these shapes, cut the fabric with fabric scissors, leaving about 2 1⁄4 inches (5.7 cm) around the sides to hem the fabric. the edges. Whether you are hemming the edges of the rectangle or of the toga you cut out, you can use a simple double-folded hem. If you have any curved edges, you might need to take one extra step of sewing along it before folding. Iron the edge.  To hem the raw edges, fold the fabric in about 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm). If you're hemming a curved edge, you can make this part easier by sewing along the edge first, about 3/4 of an inch in, then fold it along that line. Iron the edge. Fold it in again, this time about about 1 1/2 of an inch in. Iron it again.  Sew along the inside edge. To tack the hem down, sew it down, closer to the inside edge than the outside edge.  You can also sew small weights into the hem to help it hang better. If you prefer not to sew, you can use fabric adhesive. Iron the hem first, folding it over twice like you would if you were sewing. Then either use a liquid adhesive or an iron-hem tape to glue it down.  If you use the hem tape, you'll...

Article in English: You can use the results of your cost increase calculations to calculate increases in cost for all of your expenses. You can then track these increases over time and see if some items are increasing faster or slower than other costs. Then, compare the increases to increases (or lack thereof) in your income to see whether your pay raises are keeping pace with your cost of living. Businesses can use cost increase percentages to determine the increases' effects on projected or actual profit margins. This information can then be used to weigh the savings from a change in suppliers or justify a selling price increase. For example, if a business sees that the price of one of its inputs to production is rising regularly, it may choose to seek an alternative input or supplier of that input. Alternately, the business might choose to raise prices accordingly. Collectibles, like vintage cars, watches, and art, might appreciate in value over time. This appreciation can be measured using the cost increase percentage calculation process. Compare previous prices of the collectible with current market prices to assess the increase. For example, if a watch sold for $100 in 1965, but is now resold on the used market for $2,000, this represents a 1900 percent price increase. The same formula and process used to find percent cost increase can be used to perform a number of other calculations. You can use the same formula with different terms to calculate the percent error (between an expected value and actual value), to find the percent difference between two amounts of time, or any number of other comparisons between two numbers.

Article in English: You can use the same type of pastry bag you'd use for icing. Fit it with a large circular icing tip. Fill the bag with macaron batter, then twist the end closed so that the batter won't escape.  If you don't own a pastry bag, you can make your own by using a plastic sandwich bag. Cut off one of the corners, then fit it with the icing tip. Experiment with different icing tips. Most bakers make macarons in the classic round shape, but if all you have is a star-shaped tip, give it a try! Squeeze the pastry bag and pipe 3-inch circles of batter onto the baking sheet. The batter circles will spread a little, so give them plenty of space. Try to squeeze the exact same amount of batter for each circle, so the halves of the macaron come out to be the same size. Now hold each baking sheet about an inch over the countertop and let it drop. Do this about 3 times with each sheet; this helps the batter settle. Keep the baking sheets at room temperature for about 15 minutes. The macarons are ready to bake when a dry crust has formed over their surfaces. Touch your finger gently to the top of a macaron; if the batter doesn't stick, it's time to put them in the oven. Place the baking sheets in the oven. Bake the macaron halves for 15 minutes, or slightly longer if necessary. The macarons are finished when they have a slightly hard crust and are soft, but not gooey, on the inside. When they're done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely.  You can open the oven door after a couple of minutes to let any humidity escape. This helps the macarons rise and take the correct shape. Don't over bake the macarons, or they'll brown on top and the texture won't be quite right. Baking macarons is a fussy process, and takes a lot of practice. If your macarons fall on the first try, consider changing the temperature or cooking time in the future.

Article in English: You can use this method in any Windows app that allows typing, including your web browser.  You must type the numbers on the numerical 10-key pad. Lift your finger from Alt after you type the 1—the square root symbol should appear. If you’re using a laptop keyboard that doesn’t have a 10-key numerical keypad, follow these steps:  Press Fn+F11. This turns on Number Lock, which enables the numerical keypad. These are the (usually blue) numbers at the top-right corners of the U, I, P, J, K, L, and O keys. Press and hold Alt. Type K, I, and then J. The numbers on these letter keys are 2, 5, and 1. This inserts the square root symbol. Press Fn+F11 to turn off Number Lock.

Article in English: You can use tins, mason jars, old teacups, really any sort of container that you know can withstand heat. Metal tins are generally the safest way to go but as long as you know your container can stand up to heat, you can really use whatever you like. Place them on a flat surface in your protected workspace (such as on a cookie sheet or a cutting board.) The wick should be in the center of the candle mold with about two inches sticking out of the candle. Loop the end that will be out of the wax around the center of a pen or pencil. Rest the pen across the top of the mold you will be pouring your wax into. Make sure the wick hangs down straight into the center of the mold. It is best to cool them for a full 24 hours if possible. The longer you let them cool, the better they will be.  Paraffin candles generally take 24 hours to cool. Soy candles generally take 4 to 5 hours to cool.  Beeswax candles generally take 6 hours to cool, but if you can wait, cooling them overnight is best.  If you made your candle with old candles, you should only need to let it stand for a couple of hours.

Article in English: You can use two 8 or 9-in (20 or 23 cm) cake pans. Butter and flour the pans or spray them with baking spray. To make it even easier to remove the cakes, consider lining the pans with parchment paper. Measure 4 tablespoons (26 g) of powdered milk into a bowl and pour in 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of water. Whisk or stir until the powdered milk is completely dissolved. If you'd like, use 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of liquid milk instead of reconstituting the powdered milk. Put 4 cups (520 g) of all-purpose flour into a large bowl and add 1 tablespoon (14 g) of baking powder. If you'd like the cake to be lightly spiced, add 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) of grated nutmeg. Whisk the dry ingredients for about 30 seconds so that they are fully combined. Place 1 cup (226 g) of softened unsalted butter, 1 cup (226 g) of margarine, and 2 cups (400 g) of sugar into a large mixing bowl. Use an electric or stand mixer to beat them together on medium speed.  The creamed mixture should become pale and fluffy. If you don't have a mixer, use a wooden spoon. Keep in mind that it will take 5 to 10 minutes longer to cream the mixture by hand. Keep the mixer running while you add 1 egg at a time to the creamed mixture. Once the egg is incorporated, add the next egg. Continue beating them in until you've added a total of 10 eggs. Room temperature eggs will blend into the batter the best. If they're cold the batter may separate, but it will come together again when you add the dry ingredients. Turn the mixer up and beat the batter so that it becomes pale. Then add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of vanilla and beat it until it's incorporated. Turn the mixer to low and beat in about 1/3 of the dry mix. Then beat in half of the milk before you add another 1/3 of the dry mix. Beat in the rest of the milk and then the rest of the flour. Stop beating as soon as the last of the dry mix is incorporated.  It's fine if there are a few lumps in the cake batter. Over beating the batter will make the cake tough and dense.

Article in English: You can use whatever fruit and vegetables that you'd like to paint with, but those with interesting shapes usually offer the most options. Visit your local grocery store or farmer’s market, and examine the produce to see which ones most appeal to you.  Starfruit is an ideal option for painting because of its star shape. Chinese cabbage can create rose-like shapes when they’re cut. Broccoli and cauliflower work well for painting because of their florets. Mushrooms come in a variety of shapes that allow for creativity. Apples, pears, bananas, strawberries, raspberries, potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, corn cobs, green beans, oranges, lemons, and limes are other good options. When you’ve chosen the fruit and vegetables that you plan to use, wash them with water to remove any dirt. Pat the produce dry with a clean towel. If any of the fruits and vegetables are particularly dirty, use a vegetable scrub brush to clean them more effectively.

Summary in Russian:

Article in English: You can use whichever type of apple you like, but the tartness of Granny smith apples goes well with the sweetness of chocolate. Remove any produce stickers that might be on the apples’ skin, then rinse them under water to remove any chemicals or germs that might be on the surface. Dry them with a clean towel. This will allow you to eat the apple like a lollipop once it’s been dipped in chocolate. You may have to press firmly, but you should be able to ease a stick into the apple fairly easily. If you can find good quality chocolate in chocolate chip form, skip this step. However, if you bought a bar of chocolate, you’ll need to cut it up into smaller pieces. If you bought a chocolate bar that snaps easily into bite-sized pieces, break it up along the suggested lines. If it’s a solid bar, use a sharp knife to break the chocolate bar down into very small chunks.  If the pre-portioned pieces of chocolate from your bar are too large, run your knife through those, too. The smaller the pieces, the more quickly and easily the chocolate will melt down into a sauce. If you try to melt chocolate over high heat too quickly, you might burn the chocolate and ruin your whole sauce. To guard against that, use the double boiler method to steam the chocolate gently from below, warming it evenly and preventing it from burning. To create a double boiler, you’ll need a large saucepan; a double boiler pan that fits over the saucepan, but does not touch the bottom of it; and a stirrer.  Fill the bottom of the large saucepan with water, making sure that the water does not touch the bottom of the double boiler pan when it’s in place. Place the saucepan, water, and double boiler pan combination over medium-low heat on the stove. Place the chocolate pieces in the double boiler pan. As the steam from the hot water rises up to the double boiler pan, the chocolate will begin to slowly melt. Stir the chocolate to speed up the melting process and ensure an even texture to the sauce. When the chocolate has melted through, turn off the heat...

Article in English: You can use white, raw, or brown sugar. If you have sensitive skin, use brown sugar; it is gentler than white or raw sugar. You can use any type of oil, but consider any of the following: almond, baby, coconut, grapeseed, or olive At this point, you have all the ingredients in the jar to make a basic scrub You can make your scrub more special by adding some extra ingredients. Here are some suggestions to get you started:  ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) vitamin E oil will nourish and soften your skin. 3 tablespoons lemon or lime juice will add a fragrance and help "tighten" your skin. 15 to 20 drops essential oil (such as lavender, lemon, or peppermint) will give your scrub a nice fragrance. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract will give your scrub a heavenly aroma. ½ teaspoon (2.5 grams) of ground pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon will give your scrub a warm scent. If the scrub is too dry for you, add more oil. If the scrub is too wet for you, add more sugar. Start with a tablespoon (15 grams) of either ingredients, stir, and add more if needed. The ideal scrub is wet and grainy. During this time, you can multitask, and start bathing. This will help soften the skin on your legs, and make the scrub more effective. You will only need about 1 tablespoon (15 grams) for each leg. Take care not to scrub too harshly, however, or you will irritate your skin instead. If you need to, use a mild soap to get rid of any oily residue. Some people like to leave this residue on their legs, as they find it moisturizing. If you want, you can shave your legs at this point. Many people find that exfoliating their legs just before shaving helps them get a smoother, closer shave. Sugar scrubs already contain plenty of oil, so you will likely not need to apply a moisturizer afterwards. If your skin still feels dry, however, you can apply some moisturizer.

Article in English: You can use your bathtub, or you can use a small plastic basin that is large enough to comfortably fit both of your feet. For a more pampering effect, you can purchase a footbath; these foot baths are just the right size for feet and often include a massaging jet stream. Use a temperature that is comfortable for you. The water should come up just past your ankles. If you are using your foot scrub in the bathtub, you can just sit down in the tub or on the ledge. If you are using a basin, then you can sit down in a comfortable chair and place the tub on the floor in front of the chair. Soak your feet for a few minutes. If you are wearing long pants, be sure to roll the cuffs up so that they don't get wet. You will need a small handful—enough to cover your entire foot. If you use too little, the scrub won't be thick enough. A thinly-spread scrub will not be very effective. Gently rub the scrub over your feet using circular motions. Do this for about five minutes. If you wish, you can also use a pedicure brush or pumice stone to buff away calluses. Gently lower your feet back into the water, and massage them with your hands to get the scrub off. If your water became dirty, then you will need to rinse your feet off in the bathtub using fresh water. There may be some oily residue left on your feet from the scrub, which is normal. Once your feet are clean, take them out of the water and gently pat them dry with a soft, clean towel. Apply some moisturizer to help keep your feet feeling soft and smooth. You can use this scrub 2 to 3 times a week. Keep in mind that this scrub is abrasive, so if you use it too often, it may begin to irritate the skin on your feet.

Article in English: You can use your fingertips just like you would with a standard mouse. Tapping your fingertip on the board once will activate the cursor, and from there you can try other functions.  To select an icon or open a file, tap your finger on the icon twice in quick succession. If you want to right click something, hold your finger down in one spot. For dragging and dropping files or icons, hold your finger down on it, then drag it to where you want to drop it. The formatting toolbar is visible at the top of your Smartboard and also within Smartboard Notebook on your computer. Each button controls a different function. All you have to do is tap the button on the board with your finger to activate them.  There are dozens of possible buttons depending on your software, but some are more common than others. Save, Pen, Erase, and Undo/Redo are some of the most popular. Tap each icon to perform the command. Many of these buttons are common functions in other programs. If you aren’t sure how to use them, talk to your office administrator or consult your Smartboard user guide. The Smartboard pens are stored in a pen tray below the board, just like on a regular whiteboard. Pick one up and hold it up to the board. When a box appears on the screen, that means you’re ready to write.  You can write and draw just like you would with an ordinary pen. To change colors, put the pen back in the tray and pick up a different color. You can’t scroll when you’re in writing mode, so be sure the screen is where you want it to be before you pick up the pen. To exit writing mode, put the pen back in the tray. You can also activate the pen function by tapping the pen button on the toolbar. This will also bring up specialized pen functions, like Draw Shape or Handwriting to Text. The pen tray will also have an eraser. You’ll use this just like a regular eraser—simply press it against the writing you want to erase and rub it back and forth until it disappears. You can also use the eraser to trace a big circle around everything you want to...

Article in English: You can use your regular liquid laundry detergent for this. Try mixing about .5  fl oz (15 mL) of detergent in 16  fl oz (470 mL) of hot water. Apply the soap, then rinse it off either with a hose or damp rag. Give plastic a thorough washing before attempting to restore it. Plastic restoration products always work better on clean surfaces. Use the cloth to wipe down the plastic. This should remove most of the moisture as well as the dirt and other debris. Make sure the surface is completely dry before continuing. You can let the plastic dry in air, but more dust and debris will settle on it the longer you wait. Be very gentle when using the sandpaper so you don’t scratch the plastic. Rub the sandpaper around the area in a circular motion. When you’re finished, wipe off the debris with a clean microfiber cloth. While you can get away with not sanding, roughing up the surface a little helps the paint stick to the plastic. A simple soap and water cleaning can leave on oils that interfere with the paint. For this reason, clean the plastic off a second time with an all-purpose cleaner or degreaser. Rub in the product using a soft microfiber cloth.  All-purpose cleaners are effective against oils, which can settle on exposed plastics such as cars. Another option is rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol is very effective at removing leftover oils. Paints and dyes will leave you with a different sort of discoloration if they reach areas you don’t want to color. Protect these areas by making a border around the discolored area.  Painter’s tape is designed for this purpose, but using other varieties, such as masking tape, may also work. You can get painter’s tape from most hardware and home improvement stores. Unless you want to dye your hands, slip on a pair of gloves before painting. Also, open up any nearby doors and windows if you aren’t working outside. You should wear a respirator mask to avoid breathing in any fumes from the paint or dye. Wearing long-sleeved clothes also helps protect your skin. Select old clothing...

Article in English: You can usually do this by tapping the Apps icon, which is usually at the bottom-center part of the home screen. If your Android is displaying notifications or incorrect message counts for a messaging app (such as WhatsApp, Hangouts, or Facebook Messenger), you can usually resolve it by uninstalling and reinstalling the app and clearing the data for the "BadgeProvider" service. If you don't see an icon with several dots or squares at that location, try swiping up from the bottom of the home screen. After a second or so, you should see a trash can icon (or the word Uninstall) at the top or bottom of the screen. Do not lift your finger from the icon. When you lift your finger, the app will be uninstalled from your Android. If the app came with your Android and cannot be uninstalled, just skip to the next step. You'll find this app in the app drawer. Depending on your Android version, this may appear as Apps & notifications or Applications. This should display a list of the apps on your Android. If your Android doesn't display all apps by default, tap the All option. It may appear as a tab but sometimes you'll have to open a menu and select something like Show all apps. This is a default system app on your Android that controls the number that shows up on icon badges. If you don't see this option, just skip to the next step. A confirmation message will appear. Once the process is complete, you can return to the home screen. Now that the notification badge service has been cleared you should no longer see an incorrect badge count.

Article in English: You can usually find these at craft stores. If you can only find semicircular foam balls, buy two and glue them together. Other options include a papier-mâché balloon, play dough, or even two cakes with blue and green food coloring added. Draw an outline of the continents onto your ball. The easiest way to do this is to find a map of the globe online and print it out. Cut out the continents and tape them onto your globe. Draw the outlines with a pen, then take off the continents. You might need to change the size of the printing until it looks right. Paint the continents with green or brown paint, except for Antarctica: Antarctica is covered with ice and snow year-round, so paint it white to distinguish it from the other continents. Paint everywhere else with blue paint to show the water. Spray paint works best on Styrofoam, but you can use any kind of paint, or even colored markers.  Work over a spread-out newspaper to protect your table or floor from dripping paint. Paint one half, let it dry, then turn it over to paint the other half. Make 3D mountains out of play dough or clay, then stick them onto the model.  Look at a map to figure out where the mountain ranges are. Don't make them too big, or they might fall off of your model. You can use aluminum foil instead. Spice up your model with some fun toys, like miniature people, animals, or cars. Glue them onto the land using a hot glue gun. Kids should ask an adult for help before using the glue gun. Clouds will make your model extra special. Stick cotton balls onto the ends of toothpicks, and fluff them up a little to make them look like clouds. Stick the other end of the toothpick into the foam so the clouds are above the surface. Paint the toothpicks blue, green, or grey to make them blend in a little better. Glue the globe onto a stand or box so it doesn't roll away. If you want to hang the globe, ask an adult to help you cut a hole in the top and hang it from twine.

There are many variations of cat faces, some focusing on the cat eyes.  Another version is (^ = ' w ' = ^) (added equal signs for whiskers.) You'll quickly notice that the carets (^) are important parts here because these resembles the cat ears.

Article in English: You can walk and talk like a player, but if you don't have the right mindset, the ladies will be turned off. Before you become a true player, you have to work to have true self-confidence. Here's how to do it:  Ease your anxieties. Think about anything you may be worried about--your future, your family, or your career--and try to minimize your anxieties about all aspects of your life. A healthy amount of stress is normal, but if you're obsessing too much about what can go wrong, you won't be able to think in the moment, and the ladies will know you have too much on your mind. Address your flaws. Be aware of your shortcomings, and work to improve them. Are you a bad listener, disorganized, or too easily distracted? Make a plan to work on improving these characteristics little by little. Nobody's perfect, but everyone can improve. Think positive. When you walk into a room, think of the three things you like most about yourself instead of the three things you want to work on. If you think positive about yourself, the ladies will follow. A true player should value quantity over quality, so if you're committed to this lifestyle, you need to enjoy the company of as many women as possible, and not get hung up on one girl. If you're worrying about when what a certain girl thinks of you, or when she'll call, then you're approaching girlfriend territory with her, and you should put your guard up. Here's how to keep things open:  If you feel that a girl is getting too close to you, pull away. If a girl is initiating deep conversations about your personal lives, wanting to move in with you, or plan a romantic vacation, then she definitely wants to be your girlfriend, and you should move on. Keep things light. Enjoy a woman's company, but don't let her make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Focus on having a good time both out in the world and in the bedroom, and change the topic when things get too deep. Don't think mushy thoughts. When you see a potential conquest, you should be thinking about how much fun you'll...

Article in English: You can wash out the mixing bowl and oil that one, or use a separate oiled bowl. It should be at least twice the size as the ball of dough, so the dough has room to rise. Cover it loosely with plastic wrap - it shouldn't be airtight - or place a clean dishcloth over the bowl. Put it in a warm area in your kitchen. If your kitchen tends to be drafty, preheat your oven to 200 degrees, turn it off, and put the bowl in there. It'll be just the right temperature for the dough to rise. During this time it will start puffing up. It won't quite double in size, but it will rise enough to give the dough a good texture. If you have a stand mixer, use the dough hook attachment and knead the dough until it relaxes - about 5 minutes. If you don't have a mixer, you can  knead the dough by hand. Turn it out onto a floured surface and use the heels of your hands to knead for 10 minutes, or until the dough relaxes.  You'll know the dough has relaxed when it stops pulling back into a ball shape when you pause your kneading. It should be loose and malleable. The dough will also start to look shiny and stretchy.

Article in English: You can wash your shoes in the washing machine. Beforehand, work to remove the odor with household products. One option is bleach and boiling water. You'll need a tea kettle, a sink, water, and bleach.  Fill your tea kettle with water and heat it until it boils. Then, place your shoes in the sink. Pour the boiling water from the tea kettle into each shoe. Then, pour in a small amount of bleach. Allow the shoes to sit for a few minutes. Then, empty out the water and bleach. The bleach should kill the bacteria causing the shoes to smell. Another odor removal option involves common kitchen products. In this case, you can use baking soda and vinegar to remove the smell. All you need is some baking soda and vinegar, as well as a sink large enough to set your shoes.  Fill each shoe with one cup of baking soda. Then, add a cup of vinegar. This will cause the baking soda to bubble. Let the combination fizz for about 15 minutes. Once you've applied your chosen cleaning agent, you can finish removing odor via machine washing. You will need a pillow case and detergent to safely machine wash your shoe.  If possible, remove the shoestrings before you begin washing your shoe. Place the shoes in the pillow case and then transfer the pillow case to the washer. Use a normal cycle and hot water. Use plenty of detergent so the smell is removed. For white shoes, you could consider adding bleach. One cycle may not be enough if the odor is strong. You may have to run very smelly shoes through two cycles. You should let the shoes air dry. A dryer can shrink shoes.

Article in English: You can wax your armpits without making a lot of preparations, but if you take these measures the experience will be less painful and more effective:  Clean your underarms thoroughly. Wash them with soap or a good body wash, and scrub them a little to exfoliate the skin. If you use hot water, the hairs and surrounding skin will soften, making the hairs easier to remove. Trim the hair. If the hair under your arms is longer than 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm), you should trim it with a pair of barber or nail scissors until it's 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) long. This makes the waxing process less painful. The wax is bound to spill and create a mess when you try to do it yourself, so it's best to be either naked or wrapped in something you don't mind getting impregnated with wax. Make sure you use wax that is intended to be used to remove leg and body hair, rather than wax intended for use on the face. Follow the instructions on the package and heat the wax in the microwave or in a wax heater. It's ready to use when it's completely melted and runny.  If this is your first time waxing, do a test on the back of your hand, where your skin is less sensitive, to make sure the wax isn't too hot. Body wax kits are available at drugstores and beauty supply stores. You can make your own sugar-based body wax using the following recipe: mix 2 cups of sugar with 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup lemon juice. Heat the mixture over low heat on the stove until the sugar dissolves and becomes a sticky syrup. The mixture is now ready to use.

Article in English: You can wear a different kind of sports bra while doing yoga than you would while running or playing an intense sport. Choose a low-impact bra when participating in low-impact sports, and wear a high-impact bra for high-impact sports. A low-impact bra doesn’t need to have as much support as a high-impact one. High-impact bras should be in an encapsulation style with molding, and definitely made of moisture-wicking material. An encapsulated bra is one that has separate cups, as opposed to a compression bra, which pulls over your head and does not have separate cups. Because your breasts move side-to-side as well as up and down when you exercise, it’s important for your sports bra to have separate cups to provide better stability. This helps to give support to each individual breast and allows for better temperature regulation.  Wearing a compression-style bra is alright if you have an A or B cup size or are doing a low-impact workout, but an encapsulated bra is always best.  Encapsulated bras are especially important if you have a larger chest. A racerback sports bra cinches in the back, meaning the bra is held much closer to your body. This provides good support while also eliminating annoying straps that can fall off of your shoulders. If you have larger breasts or definitely want your sports bra to be adjustable, choose one with wide straps. These straps help distribute the weight of your chest more evenly, and they’re usually padded as well. Straps shouldn’t dig into your shoulders — if you find the straps painful or making your neck sore, consider going with a different size.

Article in English: You can weather false accusations if you have a strong reputation in the eyes of your boss and most of your colleagues. Begin building your reputation by maintaining a positive attitude. Smile and say “Good morning” or “hello” to everyone that you meet.  Handle difficult coworkers delicately. Try to see issues from their point of view, which can help defuse tension and allow you to remain positive.  Get enough sleep so that you are fully rested when you come in. Crabby people can be complainers. Some work environments are so toxic that you cannot stay positive. In that situation, you need to seriously consider leaving your job and finding another one. This depends on your workplace. Most people will appreciate the extra pair of hands when they are swamped. However, you don’t want to help out too much because it makes you look like you don’t have enough to do.  Also pay attention to whether your coworker gives you credit for the work that you did. If they don’t, you should stop helping that person. However, if they do give you credit, then you can help them out in the future. They appreciate your help and don’t see you as a threat. When you tell a colleague you will do something, remember to follow through. Leave the excuses at home and make sure to fulfill your responsibilities. Consistently follow through will increase your credibility in other people’s eyes. Try to be predictably reliable. If you are, people will be less likely to blame you when something goes wrong. You’ll help build your credibility if you honestly admit your mistakes. People who always deny responsibility begin to look like liars. Instead, fess up. Say, “I’m sorry” and then explain the following:  You understand the seriousness of the mistake. For example, you can say, “I realize this mistake might cost us the client account.” You know how it happened. For example, “I was preparing the packages for mail when Sue called and I got sidetracked.” You are taking steps to make sure it doesn’t happen again: “To ensure I don’t make this mistake...

Article in English: You can write out the entire sermon or simply settle for an outlined version, but either way, you should prepare a written plan that you can use when you're actually preaching.  Having a prepared text will usually keep you more centered when you actually start preaching. Unless you're remarkably fluent in the subject matter, impromptu preaching tends to be more disorganized and less insightful. You can write the entire sermon word-for-word, use shortened notes, or use an outline. Outlines are generally preferred since they make it easier to look out into the congregation as you preach and limit the temptation to stare at your notes the entire time. Some passages may seem self-explanatory, but oftentimes, those passages make more sense within a broader context. Include any scriptural or historical information needed to really bring the text into focus.  Think back to the research you did while trying to understand the passage. Information that granted you new understanding should be included in your sermon.   Don't get too carried away, of course. You still need to focus your sermon on the Word itself. Supporting details should be used to increase the listener's understanding of the passage and should not steal the show. You need to illustrate how the text applies to real life in the contemporary world. Give your listeners information they feel can be useful to them as they navigate through the trials and temptations of the everyday.  Start with the end in mind. As you organize your sermon, think about what your listeners need to learn from it and structure the flow of the sermon so that it builds up to that. Directly relate the message to some real-life scenario, and try to choose a fairly common scenario that will appeal to as many different people as possible. By illustrating one possible application of the message, you can help your listeners understand how to apply the message to their own lives.  In applying the message, you should also end up challenging the listener. Your sermon should give your...

Article in English: You can “unlock” your dreadlocks without cutting them, but the process will take a long time. Short locks that have only been around for a year or less might come undone within four to eight hours. Longer locks that you've had for multiple years may take 15 to 48 hours. Before removing individual locks and small knots, look for any locks that have joined together and any large matted sections at the root. Gently pull these areas apart using your hands.  Work as close to the scalp as possible while doing this. If you cannot remove these tangles without severely breaking your hair, it's best to wait until you work on the smaller locks before removing these large knots. Fill a sink or basin with warm water and lean back, submerging your locks completely. Let your locks soak for a full 10 minutes. Work small amounts of detangling or degreasing shampoo into each section of each lock. Wash each lock with hot water, as well.  The water should be as hot as you can make it without burning yourself. The hot water and shampoo should help melt any wax and grease that has built up. Thoroughly rinse the shampoo out of your locks before continuing. Apply small amounts of conditioner to each section of each lock. Rub the conditioner into each lock using your fingers.  Do not rinse the conditioner out of your locks at this point. If necessary, you can wrap your hair in a towel to keep it out of your face until you are ready to continue. Use a metal comb to pierce the bottom of the lock and work apart the knots there. Gradually work your way up the entire length of the lock in the same manner.  A tail comb is easiest to use. You can use the tip of the tail to pierce the bottom of your lock. If you're using a regular comb, you will need to work the teeth of the comb into the bottom of the lock. After inserting the comb into the lock, gently pull it apart using the comb and your fingers. Don't be afraid to apply a significant amount of pressure. If the locks are too tough to unravel, work more conditioner and warm water into the...

Article in English: You can't be too obvious when you do this. Don't say, "I was hanging out with Mark all weekend - Mark is so hot!" or he'll see that you're just trying to ruffle his feathers. Instead, say something like, "Have you heard of the Arctic Monkeys? Mark burned me their newest CD and I just can't stop listening to it." The subtle mention of a guy you know will make someone much more jealous than if you raved on and on about all of the guys you know. Don't name drop too often, either. Mentioning another guy's name just once or twice throughout the course of a conversation will do the trick. Though making a guy jealous will require you to not be the nicest person in the world to him, don't take it too far, either. If you're openly mean, talking way too much about being with other guys, or just generally not acting like a gracious, kind person for the sake of making a guy jealous, then there will come a point where he will be turned off, and when the other people in your life get annoyed by your behavior, too. You can be a bit mean, especially if you want to get the guy back, but don't lose sight of who you are. If you do end up talking to the guy who you want to make jealous, don't give him all of your time. Talk to him for a few minutes and then tell him that you have to go -- whether you're going to class, meeting up with friends, or actually doing absolutely nothing. If he thinks he can talk to you for hours until he has to go, then guess who has the power in the relationship? (It's not you.) Even if you do like him and can't stop drowning in his baby blues, force yourself to break away. Don't give him 100% of your attention when you talk to him, either. Make him see that you've got other things on your mind. If he asks about your weekend, you can give him a flirty smile and just say, "It was…really amazing." You can leave him to guess what you mean by this - he'll be likely to think you meant you had an amazing time making out with another guy at the movies instead of celebrating your Aunt Flo's 50th birthday.

Article in English: You can't change the way you think if you can't (or won’t) identify the problem. Accepting that you have negative thoughts and feelings, and that you don’t enjoy how you’re currently responding to them, can help you begin the process of change.  Try not to judge yourself for your thoughts or feelings. Remember:  the thoughts that pop up or the feelings you experience are not inherently “good” or “bad,” they’re just thoughts and feelings. What you can control is how you interpret and respond to them. Accept the things about yourself that you can’t change, too. For example, if you’re an introverted person who needs quiet time alone to “recharge,” trying to be an extrovert all the time will probably just make you feel drained and unhappy. Accept yourself for who you are right now, just as you are. You can then feel free to develop that self into the most positive self you can be! Goals give us a more positive outlook on life. Research has shown that setting a realistic goal can make you feel immediately more confident and boost your self-efficacy, even if you don’t achieve the goal right away. Setting goals that are personally meaningful to you and align with your values will help you achieve them and move forward in your life.  Start small with your goals. Don't shoot for the moon right away. Slow and steady wins the race. Make your goals specific. The goal “be more positive” is great, but it’s so huge you probably won’t have any idea how to start. Instead, set smaller specific goals, like “Meditate twice a week” or “Smile at a stranger once a day.”  Word your goals positively. Research shows that you’re more likely to achieve your goals if you word them positively. In other words, make your goals something you’re working toward, not trying to avoid. For example: “Stop eating junk food” is an unhelpful goal. It can cause feelings of shame or guilt. “Eat 3 servings of fruit and vegetables each day” is specific and positive.  Keep your goals based on your own actions. Remember that you can’t control anyone else....

Article in English: You can't credibly fake an illness if you don't know what is wrong with you. If you are complaining about a terrible headache, make sure you know exactly the kind of headache you want to fake so you can explain to others what is wrong with you when they ask. If you are trying to get out of an event, make sure you emphasize how bad your symptoms are. This way, it won't seem as if it is not worth letting you skip whatever you are trying to avoid. One of the main symptoms of a headache is the pain around your temples or forehead. Hold your hands up to your head and massage your temples as you complain about the pain. You can even moan or make uncomfortable noises to drive home that you feel terrible. Light and noise sensitivity is a common symptom of a really bad headache. To fake this symptom, close or squint your eyes, appearing as if the presence of light or interruption of noise it too much for you. Avoid going into places that have too much noise or light because it would cause you too much pain if you really had a headache. Don't over sell this symptom. You want it to be believable, not cast suspicion on your actions. Make it subtle and not over the top. Most headaches don't start automatically, so start complaining about the symptoms slowly. You must be subtle about the issues that you have or it will seem like you are faking it. Start by first commenting how your head hurts a little bit. A little while later, rub your temples, complaining of the pressure in your head. Then mention that the lights and noises are bothering you. Showing the symptoms is the only way people will believe you.

Article in English: You can't do a high five by yourself. This is instead called clapping. To perform a true high five, you'll need someone who's willing to join in your celebration. Ideally, you'll want someone with good upper body strength and strong forearms.  For the best high fives, you'll also want a great cause for celebration. It's difficult to replicate the spontaneous energy of true celebratory joy in a sterile "practice" environment, so look for opportunities to vanquish foes or do cool skateboard tricks wherever you go. To put maximum power into your high five, you'll want to have sturdy posture. Plant your feet firmly on the ground about shoulder-width apart, keep your back straight, and roll your shoulders back as you puff up your chest. This strong stance allows you push off the floor, transferring power up through your body and into your wrist for an ear-splitting result. Bad posture won't just make your high fives weaker - it'll also make you look worse. If you're slumped over with your gut hanging out as you go in for a high five, your friend will be able to tell that your heart isn't in it and will have ample justification for aborting the high five. High fives are primarily acts of celebration, but they're also cause for celebration in and of themselves. There is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be smiling as you high five. Being able to high five is a great honor - never take it for granted with a half-hearted smirk. The sole exception to this rule is that in the few seconds after your hand makes contact with your partner's, it's acceptable to wince in righteous pain. Start to move toward your partner. As you take your first few steps, bring your dominant hand back as if you're about to throw a baseball. Your hand should rest in this "cocked" position with its palm open roughly behind your ear. You may twist slightly at the waist and/or lean back slightly for added power. When you're a few feet from your partner, let loose with all your might. Snap your hand forward at maximum velocity, swinging your...
