Article in English: Purchase any lubricant eye drops or artificial tears from your local pharmacy. Drip them either into your eyes or on your skin near the inside corners of each eye. Use the drops right before you need to look like you’re crying. Eye drops will roll down your cheeks quickly, so they should only be used in a pinch. Rub a thin layer underneath your eyes and on the tops of your cheeks. The product will give your face a shiny and moist look as though you’ve been crying for a bit of time. Avoid getting the jelly directly in your eyes since this could cause severe irritation. Rinse out your eye with cool water if this accidentally happens. Either use a vapor rub product or a tear stick from an online makeup store and apply it carefully beneath your eyes with your finger or a cotton swab. The chemicals in the menthol will slightly irritate your eyes and cause tears to form. They will also make your eyes look red and puffy to make them look more realistic.  Vapor rub products can be purchased at your local pharmacy. Keep the product out of your eyes since it will cause severe irritation. Immediately rinse your eyes with water if you get any product in them. Keep both eyes open and have someone blow a puff of air into each eye. If you find yourself blinking when someone else blows, use your fingers to force your eyes open. Tear blowers are sold by online makeup stores and contain menthol to promote tears faster.

Article in English: Purchase clay bead piercing pins from any manufacturer that produces tools for working with clay. If you are unable to find bead piercing pins, sharp skewers or large sewing pins might work well enough. The instrument you use simply needs a sharp, pointed tip and a sturdy metal shaft similar in thickness to 20 gauge wire. It also needs to be long enough to completely pierce through at least one bead. Lightly grasp the bead in between your fingers using your non-dominant hand. Using your dominant hand, gently push the sharp pin tip into the spot the hole needs to be at.  Your fingers should be positioned on the smooth side of the bead and clear from the entrance or exit point of the desired hole. Hold the bead just lightly enough to keep it steady, but do not squeeze it. Twirl the piercing pin between your fingers as you push it through the entire bead. Continue twisting and pushing until the pin pokes out from the opposite side.  You may also need to twist the bead lightly as you insert the pin. Keep the pin straight as you push it through. Work slowly and gently to minimize possible distortion to the shape of the bead. After pushing the pin all the way through to the other side of the bead, pull it back into the hole by about 0.4 to 0.8 inches (1 to 2 mm) As you push the pin through the bead, a little speck of clay will usually poke out from the opposite side. By pulling the pin back in, you can pull this speck back and prevent it from hardening onto the outer surface of the bead. Mild distortion is fairly common, so you might need to use your fingers to gently reshape the bead before setting it. With the right piercing pin and the right technique, you may not encounter any distortion at all. It can take practice before getting the process right without misshaping the bead at all, though, so you should expect a little difficulty the first time you try it. . Place the skewered beads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper and bake them as you would bake any polymer clay piece.  Check the...

Article in English: Purchase dahlia tubers online or at a local garden center. Dwarf and low-growing varieties are best for container growing. Some varieties can grow as tall as 5 feet (1.5 m), so you’ll need a much larger pot if you choose a tall species.  Small to medium varieties include Bednall Beauty, which grow up to 2 feet (61 cm), and Bishop of Llandaff, which grow up to 3 feet (0.91 m). Larger varieties include Hadrian’s Sunlight and Twyning’s After Eight, which grow 4 feet (1.2 m) or higher.  A single tuber needs about 1 to 2 feet (30 to 61 cm) of space, so you’ll probably only need 1 per container. Go for a heavy pot that’s at least 12 inches (30 cm) deep with a diameter of at least 12 inches (30 cm). Pots this size usually hold around 5 to 7 gallons (19 to 26 L) of soil. For the largest varieties, go with a 24 by 24 inch (61 by 61 cm) pot, which usually holds around 25 gallons (95 L) of soil. Varieties that grow 3 to 5 feet (0.91 to 1.52 m) can become top-heavy, and a lightweight pot may not be sturdy enough to support their weight. Additionally, tall varieties require a stake, which will add even more weight.  Plastic containers are lightweight, so go for sturdy ceramic or terracotta pots instead. Keep in mind terracotta and unglazed ceramic pots absorb water, so they can freeze and crack if they’re left out during the winter. This step may not be necessary if the container already has several drainage holes that allow excess water to drain. However, if your pot has small holes or only has 1 center hole, drill a few extra holes to improve drainage.  Dahlias grow best in well-drained environments. While they require lots of water, their fine roots are prone to rotting if the soil is too waterlogged. Fill the bottom with 2 inches (5.1 cm) of gravel for improved drainage. A dirty pot could spread disease, and hidden insect eggs may be lying in wait at the bottom of the pot. Remove these threats by cleaning the container before you plant. Gentle soap and water will do the trick.  Be sure to thoroughly rinse away all...

Article in English: Purchase fresh when it fits your budget and timing. Fresh fruits and vegetables can be more expensive, but are worth the money in nutrition and flavor. Usually they can be eaten raw or cooked. Sometimes there is not a substitute for fresh. Fresh fruits and vegetables should be consumed in the week you purchase them to avoid rot or lessening nutritional value. Antioxidant content begins to degrade immediately after harvest as do some vitamins, so the closer to harvest you eat them the more nutrition you will obtain. Frozen vegetables are frozen quickly after harvest and maintain many nutrients. They are easy to cook and can be stored for long periods of time. They are also very affordable and readily available. Frozen fruit is also a good option. It can be defrosted overnight and eaten without cooking, but the texture will have changed because of the freezing process. It is best to use frozen fruit for desserts or to cook with. Canned vegetables are great for making soups and casseroles. They are also convenient. Canned vegetables may have lost some nutrients during the high heat cooking process, but they still contain a fair amount. Having canned fruits and vegetables on hand helps with having a fruit or vegetable at every meal. When purchasing canned fruit be sure to read the label. Many canned fruits are packed in syrup, which adds extra sugar and calories. Try purchasing canned fruit in juice or water instead. Canned fruit is great for all ages because it is typically softer and comes pre-portioned. ” Purees are useful for making smoothies and adding sauces. Juice has nutrients, but lacks the fiber. It is good for getting a fruit in when you don’t have time or you are not somewhere fruit is readily available. The high sugar and calorie content of juice makes it a tricky choice. The best way to consume is in moderation. Also, remember to only purchase 100% fruit juice.

Article in English: Purchase or craft a number of healing and fire resist potions in any town. You may want to consider recruiter a follower to help you as well.  A solid melee fighter, like Lydia or Mjoll are good choices to tank Alduin when he lands. Ilia is also a good choice for her proficiency in frost magic. There will be a few Ice Wraiths on the climb, so a couple of frost resist potions may be a good idea as well. If you have training in Restoration magic, you can use spells to substitute for healing or resist potions. When you reach the top, you will speak to Paarthurnax and watch a lengthy cutscene to learn the shout before the fight with Alduin begins. Paarthurnax will aid you in your fight against Alduin and act as a distraction, but you will have to deal the bulk of the damage. Tap and hold the shout button to charge it. Follow Alduin’s flight with the camera as you charge so that you do not miss. If you miss you will have to wait while your shout recharges.  Equip an Amulet of Talos if you need the shout cooldown to be shortened. Although Paarthurnax will spar with Alduin in the air, Alduin cannot be damaged until you ground him with Dragonrend. A single tap of the shout button will do a single-charge version of the shout that can still effectively stun Alduin after he is already grounded. You can use this to help preventing him from becoming airborne again. Alduin has his own shout that causes meteors to rain from the sky. When this happens, you can use Clear Skies to cancel it.  You will have learned this shout from The Greybeards before being allowed to ascend the mountain, so you cannot have missed it. If your shout is on cooldown when this happens, then it is a good time to use a fire resist potion. Remember, using Clear Skies means your shout will go on cooldown and you will have to wait for it to recharge before you can use Dragonrend again. Once on the ground, Alduin uses a powerful fire breath attack that does lots of damage to everyone in front of him and a strong tail whips from the back. Try to attack...

Article in English: Purchase or rent a stud finder and mark the locations on your walls. If those areas don't match up with the project, then move on to finding wall plugs and screws that will work. Installation in the center of a stud is always preferred, because it is a load-bearing support. Walls, especially dry wall, are not designed to hold large, heavy objects by themselves. (6.8kg). If it does, the universal version is likely to work well. If possible, purchase wall plug and screw combos to ensure they will fit.  If the wall plugs and screws are sold separately, test the screws by inserting them inside the plug. If it fits through the center and comes out the other end with a few mm to spare, the screw will likely work with that plug. These universal wall plugs and screws often come with hanging objects in the original packaging. The plug opens up perpendicular to the wall once it's installed into panel or plasterboard. There is also a special plasterboard plug you can buy that expands like an umbrella once behind the wall. Buy a package that includes a steel screw. This is best for attaching items to wooden beams, window frames or wall cladding. Once screwed in the wall, you will need to hammer the screw the rest of the way in to complete the process. (200 kg). Unlike the screw head, there is a nut at the end. After the plug is installed, you tighten the nut and the anchor keeps a strong hold on the surrounding material. Unlike other anchors, there are two metal wings. Keep them closed and push them through the ceiling, and then the wings will sit against the inside of the ceiling material while you tighten the screw.

Article in English: Purchase probiotic supplements from a reputable manufacturer that guarantees its products. Although probiotics are considered dietary supplements, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not approve these products. They do, however, loosely regulate them. Although there are standards set for the manufacturing of dietary supplements and the FDA may periodically check the facilities, there is a chance that your dietary supplement does not actually contain what it claims to or is contaminated.  Each acidophilus supplement should come with a Colony Forming Units (CFU) count guarantee, which is based on the count at the time of manufacturing. Most acidophilus supplements contain between 1 to 2 billion CFU. Do not purchase products without CFU count guarantees. If the brand of probiotics you purchase is sold refrigerated, then ensure that your bottle has been and continues to be kept cool. Look at the ingredients in the acidophilus supplement. Some supplement manufacturers combine slow-growing acidophilus with other fast-growing bacteria to increase the CFU count and make it appear like a more effective product to consumers. You don't want to buy these because the other added bacteria may not be the kind of bacteria you need. For best results, look for an acidophilus supplement that contains only acidophilus. The probiotic may be listed as acidophilus, lactobacillus or l. acidophilus. There are many different dosage forms available such as capsules, tablets, and powders. These supplements are used to treat certain conditions such as eczema and ulcerative colitis. Ask your doctor which form is best for your specific condition.  If a single-strain of probiotic doesn't seem to be working for you, consider a supplement with multiple strains. Just as one type of antibiotic works better than others for some people, the same is true with probiotics. Tablets and capsules are typically made with freeze dried probiotics. Make sure you store them correctly by checking the container for directions. There are some forms of...

Article in English: Purchase seat covers that will protect your seats. These can either match your seats or they can have bright, colorful patterns on them. They are available for both bucket seats (such as front seats) and for bench seats (such as backseats), and can cost $30-$40. Many kinds can be machine-washed, making it easier to tidy up your car. A stain repellent will make it hard for stains to settle into the upholstery and will prolong the life of the upholstery. A stain repellent like Scotchgard Fabric and Upholstery Protector is available at home supply stores.  Follow the instructions on the product label for proper usage. Don’t allow spills and messes to sit in your car if possible. If they are not cleaned up right away, they may set into the upholstery, making it hard to remove them. Additionally, they can add to an unpleasant odor in your car. By banning food and drinks in the car, you can reduce the potential for many stains and messes. Accidents are sure to happen if you stop suddenly or you are trying to eat while driving. Eliminate this risk by not allowing food or drinks in the car. By removing garbage and other items from your vehicle after each journey, you may reduce the potential for stains to occur from grease-soaked fast food bags or spilled coffee cups.  Dispose of any excess trash immediately after use so it doesn’t pile up and add to the clutter of your vehicle's interior. Remove crayons and other things that are prone to melting if it is hot outside. The temperature of your car’s interior will be markedly hotter than outside and crayons, for example, will melt on upholstery if left there in the heat. Removing dirt and debris from your car will prevent them from grinding into the seats and the carpet, thereby contributing to hard-to-remove stains. Set a schedule for yourself to vacuum out your car at least once a month, or more frequently if your car gets dirty quickly.

Article in English: Purchase some Tung or Linseed oil at your local home improvement store and apply it to the furniture. Use a paintbrush to make even strokes across the entire surface of the teak wood furniture. You can use a damp cloth the wipe up any excess oil as you continue painting. Continue painting until the wood seems saturated and doesn’t soak up any more of the oil. Be sure to thoroughly clean the teak furniture before you apply any oil. This kind of stain or sealant will help protect your teak furniture from the elements and prevent damage in the future. Purchase some sealer from your local home improvement store and apply it using a paint brush. Let the stain dry completely before using the furniture again – this usually takes about 24 hours. Be sure to get a sealer or stain that is approved for use on teak wood. As with any wood product, teak furniture will need to be re-stained once every 2-3 years. The stain loses its effectiveness over time and needs to be replaced. Once you start noticing more cracks in the teak wood, you’ll need to start thinking about staining it again to seal up those cracks and protect the wood. This step isn’t necessary if you’ve opted to keep up the natural, unstained appearance of the teak wood. However, unstained teak requires more regular cleaning. Nothing will make teak age and weather faster than constant, direct contact with sunlight. This will cause your teak furniture to look older and to need more maintenance and repair as time goes on. Try to put your teak furniture in a place that gets a lot of shade, at least during part of the day. Consider storing your outdoor teak furniture in a shed completely away from the sunlight during the winter months when you aren’t using it as much.

Article in English: Purchase some ripe medjool dates at a grocery stores and open them up to remove the seeds from the center. Set the seeds aside and either eat or discard the date fruit. You’ll know the dates are ripe when they are slightly wrinkled or leaking a sticky fluid. Rinse the seeds thoroughly and rub off any excess date flesh. If the leftover fruit is persistent, you can soak the seeds in hot water for 24 hours, then rub off the fruit. Fill a cup or bowl with cool water and place the pits inside to soak. Change the water once a day by dumping out the old water and refilling it with fresh water. This will help keep mold from forming.  Soaking the seed will let the seed coat absorb the water and prepare it for the germination process.  Toss out any seeds that float to the top of the water. You only want to use seeds that sink to the bottom of the container. Run some water over a sheet of paper towel to dampen it. Then lay the paper towel out flat and place 2 date seeds on either end. Fold the paper towel over so it covers both seeds, then fold it in half. The seeds should be fully covered and separated by a layer of paper towel. Open up a plastic sandwich bag and tuck the damp, folded paper towel inside. Make sure the seeds are still in place before closing the bag’s seal. The seed will germinate best at temperatures between 70 to 75 °F (21 to 24 °C). Find a place in your home that stays warm, such as the top of the refrigerator, or use a warming mat to regulate the temperature more carefully. Every 2 weeks or so, open the bag up and check for progress. Check for mold as well, taking care to replace mold paper towel with a new damp paper towel. After 2-4 weeks, you should see tiny roots growing out of the seed. Keep checking the germinating seed for progress. Once the seed has sprouted a shoot off of the roots, it’s time to take it out and pot it! Prepare one pot for each seed by filling the pots with one part seed-starting compost and one part sand. Lightly water the soil so it’s moist and then plant the seeds so half...

Article in English: Purchase the oil recommended for your paper shredder by the manufacturer. Different shredders will use different oils and will usually sell the oil where you purchased your shredder. If you are using an old and/or out of warranty paper shredder, you can use canola oil as a substitute rather than purchasing oil. The oil produced by some brands is actually just repackaged canola oil so you can save a little money by using canola oil. Setting the shredder to manual mode allows you to control the direction that the blades are rotating and the length of time that they are moving. You will need this for oiling the paper. While the paper shredder is off, squirt a line of oil lengthwise across the paper entry. This puts oil along the entire length of the blades. Start the paper shredder in the reverse direction and keep it in motion for 10-20 seconds before stopping the blades. This way the oil is spread and redistributed around to the entire cutting assembly. Turn off manual mode and restart the machine in automatic mode for normal use. Pass at least two or three more pieces of paper into the shredder so that they absorb the extra oil left on the blades.

Article in English: Purchasing a high-quality scanner and photo editing software for your home computer can help make digital restoration at home possible. Invest in a photo editing program like Photoshop and a high-quality scanner that can scan images at a high dpi, or dots per square inch. The greater the dpi, the more detail the scanner will be able to capture. A dpi of 300 is recommended for most photographs. Gently place the photograph in the scanner, and select to scan the image at a high-resolution to capture as much detail as possible. When prompted, save the image as a TIFF instead of a JPEG. A TIFF is a larger file, but it will retain the detail and quality of the photograph. Once you have saved the image, open it in your photo editing software. Use the cropping tool to remove any evidence of damage around the edges of the photograph. Edges of old photographs often curl when exposed to water or humidity. If your photograph has damage around the perimeter, cropping the image will quickly correct this problem. Repair the color, brightness, and contrast issues before attempting to change any other imperfections or signs of damage. These can be adjusted by opening editing tools in Photoshop or another photo editing software. These levels can be altered by sliding your cursor along a scale until you produce your desired effects.  Increasing the brightness level can help brighten up a dark photo, or intensifying the contrast can bring out a washed-out, faded photo. Play with the color sliders to help remove unwanted tints. Save each version you create under a different file name so you can compare each version later and select the best restoration. Using the Dust and Scratches filter or the Spot Healing Brush in Photoshop or a similar tool in other photo editing programs makes removing imperfections straightforward and simple. Magnify the photograph, and use the cursor to touch up the damaged marks. Work slowly and be sure to zoom out to check your progress as you work.

Article in English: Purchasing your own kiln can be expensive. If you live near an urban area, there are likely pottery studios that allow anyone to rent space in the kiln. Search online for kilns in your area, or for pottery studios that you could contact and offer to rent kiln space from. If you live in the United States, this listing of kilns may be helpful, although there are many more not listed. If you end up needing to purchase a personal kiln, you'll probably want a more portable electric kiln. There are many factors to consider, including expense, wiring, and which additional tools to purchase. Kiln operation is complex and potentially dangerous, and you may wish to find an experienced potter to guide you through the first few times you use it. Glazes are either low temperature or high temperature, and firing them at the wrong setting may cause the ceramic to break or the glaze to fail to set. Make sure the kiln you are using is set to the correct "cone" as described on the glaze packaging. If you are dropping off your ceramic object at a studio for the employees to fire later, include a note detailing the firing temperature. Do not attach this note directly to the glazed object. There are many different ways to operate a kiln, and some processes may require more time than others. Regardless, you should allow at least 24-48 hours for firing before your object is ready. If the kiln is used by many people, your object may not be ready for a week or two. Once it is done firing and has completely cooled, your object should be ready to take home and admire. Note that your wax should burn off in the kiln. If there is any residue from your resist materials that means you used something that did not incinerate at 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, and you will need to find a different resist material next time.

Article in English: Pure Vitamin C powder can be hard on your stomach and cause issues like heartburn and inflammation. Try getting the buffered version, which contains buffer minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc. It is gentler on your stomach and your digestive system. Get buffered Vitamin C online or at your local health food store. Another option is to use sodium ascorbate powder, which contains Vitamin C and sodium hydrogen carbonate. The sodium will help to regulate your water intake and make the Vitamin C easier to digest. Look for ascorbic acid online or at your local health food store. You will need to dissolve the Vitamin C powder into filtered or purified water to drink it. You should then drink lots of water during the flush to help move the Vitamin C through your body and encourage bowel movements. You will need to have at least five to six glasses of water during the flush. You can then drink five to six glasses of water as you ease off of the flush. The Vitamin C flush will usually take about two to six hours, depending on how long it takes the Vitamin C to go through your body. Try not to plan any outings during this time, as you need ready access to the bathroom as well as to the Vitamin C powder and fresh water. Begin the Vitamin C flush soon after you wake up in the morning. Do it before you eat any food. This will allow your body to absorb the Vitamin C.

Article in English: Pure, high quality dark chocolate will give you the most “bang for your buck” — that is, the most nutritional value and antioxidant benefits (and flavor) per calorie consumed.  Dark chocolate has a higher cocoa content, which is the source of the beneficial flavonoids.  As a primer, cocoa powder typically contains 88%-96% cocoa; dark chocolate, 45%-80%; milk chocolate, 5%-7%; and white chocolate, 0%.  This is also the order in which they rank in antioxidant benefits. White chocolate lacks any cocoa solids, and thus any antioxidant benefits.  It is, by and large, just a sugar/fat/calorie bomb and should only be considered a rare treat with no health benefits.  Milk chocolate, for that matter, isn't much better. Quality dark chocolate should be at least 60% cocoa, have little or no added sugar, and contain cocoa butter, not palm or coconut oil. No, most candy bars, heart-shaped box candies, and chocolate Easter bunnies will not make the cut.  Compared side-by-side, dark chocolate contains slightly more calories and fat than milk chocolate, but has half the sugar, less cholesterol, and more of almost all the beneficial nutrients found in either.  Also, remember that dark chocolate has ten times or more cocoa content, and thus substantially more flavonoids.  Milk also tends to counteract antioxidants, even further reducing the value of the flavonoids found in milk chocolate. Sorry to say, but you'd have a tough time finding a valid “How to Get Slim While Eating More Sugar” article.  You'll have to learn to savor the chocolate while skipping the excessive sugar. If you think that dark chocolate means nothing but a bitter, unsatisfying block, think again.  Now more than ever, there are numerous options when choosing dark chocolate.  Variations in cocoa content make important flavor differences, but so do ingredient choices and chocolate-making techniques.  Try different brands and see which ones truly tickle your taste buds. Dark chocolate that has been flavored with essences or spices can make a nice change from...

Article in English: Purines are natural substances that are actually found in almost all foods. However, there are only a small number of foods that contain high concentrations of purine. Purine can increase your uric acid levels, which can lead to gout or already existing gout becoming worse.  lead to urate crystals. Foods to avoid include:  Anchovies, sardines gravies, sweetbreads, and animal products like liver and brains. You should also avoid foods like asparagus, carp, cauliflower, lobster, mushrooms, oysters, rabbit, spinach, trout and veal. When you lower the amount of sugar you eat, you may find that you have an easier time losing weight. Fructose, which is a type of sugar, also increases uric acid so it is better to avoid foods with fructose if you have gout. Avoid fructose products like corn syrup and some soft drinks. There are both good carbohydrates, like whole grains, and bad carbs, like foods with saturated fat. Try to cut out refined carbs and focus on complex carbs. Complex carbs include: Whole grains, wheat breads, and cereals. Saturated fat can slow down your body’s ability to eliminate uric acid. High-fat diets can also increase your risk of obesity and increase your chances of having a gout attack, so if you are trying to lose weight, start paying attention to how much fat you eat each day.  Switch to low-fat dairy products to cut out some of the fat in your diet. Look for lean proteins that have little or no fat content. Use olive oil, which is a monounsaturated fat (a good fat) rather than butter or margarine when you cook. When you drink enough water, you lower your risk of developing urate crystals around your joints. While the amount of water you drink depends on your weight and lifestyle, try to drink water throughout the day. In general, try to drink around two liters of water. If you exercise a lot, you may want to consider upping your intake and drinking around 3 liters (0.8 US gal) each day. Alcohol can disrupt the process of removing uric acid from your body. Alcohol also contains a lot of...

Article in English: Pursed lip breathing is one of the best ways to deal with shortness of breath that is not caused by a health issue. If you're in serious distress, you should always call for help first. Pursed breathing has the following benefits:  It improves how much air is getting into your lungs. It releases trapped air from inside your lungs. It makes it easier for you to breathe. It slows your breathing. It helps your body get into a better breathing rhythm, releasing old air before taking in new air. It helps you relax. Your mouth should be closed so that you aren’t tempted to breathe through your mouth. You only need to take a small breath, so don’t worry about deeply inhaling during the 2 seconds. Relax your neck and shoulders as you breathe in and out. You can make pursed lips by pressing your lips together in a tight pucker, as though you are about to whistle or blow air onto something. The goal is a slow stream of air exiting your mouth. Release the breath through your mouth, allowing it to slowly flow between your lips. Take as many seconds as you need to let all of the air leave your body before you take another breath through your nose.  Your exhale should be slower than your inhale. Continue breathing through pursed lips until you feel like you’re in control of your breathing.

Article in English: Pursue knowledge of different topics or crafts. You never know if you have an unfounded talent. Check your local area or school for different clubs or societies where you can interact with others who can encourage you and teach you. Perhaps you’ll find you’re really good at cooking or woodwork. If you like, start with things that you have always wanted to know better but never really had an opportunity to follow. Perhaps you’ve always wanted to develop your photography skills or read classic English Literature.  Devote part of your day to engaging in these activities. Remember that this is meant to be enjoyable. You will have something to look forward to that is stress-free. Not every new interest will necessarily require you to leave your house and spend money. Look for online documentaries or videos to watch. Actively look for the positive aspects of every situation and person. Remember that ‘positive’ does not necessarily mean ‘good.’ A learning outcome from a negative situation is a ‘positive’ aspect but that does not make your situation a ‘good one’: you are allowed to consider things as being negative and bad. However, people gravitate towards those who display a positive attitude. Your sunny disposition will encourage others to be cheerful.  Ask yourself, ‘What can I learn from this situation? What can I do differently next time to prevent such an outcome? What have I gained from this?’ Once you form a negative opinion of someone, you start to notice things about her that will confirm your opinion and ignore any evidence to the contrary. If you find yourself thinking mean things about another person, deliberately think of examples that dispel your negative opinion. Or think of reasons that may have made her behave in a way you disliked. Perhaps she was tired or hungry? Maybe she misunderstood the situation? Make a special effort to cheer other women on. It’s very easy to feel competitive around another woman as you seek to be the ‘perfect woman’. Rise above such pettiness and be supportive of other...

Article in English: Pursuing a medical procedure may be the best approach to getting rid of the pain you experience from fibroids, but clearly understand the risks involved before you proceed. Before you decide what to do, get a second, or even third, opinion from another gynecologist, surgeon, or interventional radiologist. Interventional radiologists are experts in reviewing and interpreting imaging results. They can review imaging studies already performed and provide an additional opinion on surgical and out-patient procedure options. This procedure is performed while the patient is awake but sedated. The procedure is not a painful procedure, but there is significant pain for 24-48 hours after the procedure. A uterine fibroid embolization involves inserting a catheter into your femoral artery through a small incision in the thigh. Small particles are inserted into the catheter and delivered to the site of the fibroid. The goal of the procedure is to disrupt the blood supply to the fibroid causing it to shrink. This outpatient, non-invasive procedure is relatively new, has a good rate of success, but may not be appropriate for everyone. Endometrial ablation is a procedure that removes or destroys the lining of the uterus. This type of procedure is often performed as an outpatient surgery in a physician’s office. Some of the methods used to perform this procedure include using a laser, wire loops, boiling water, electric current, microwaves, or freezing. Pregnancy is not possible after this procedure. While this surgery may work well for older women, there is a higher failure rate for younger women who have this procedure. The risks associated with this procedure include:  perforation or tearing of the uterus burns to the uterus or bowels excess fluid in the lungs blockage in the artery that leads to the lungs (pulmonary embolism) Although it is not widely available, this procedure may be a good choice if you are hoping to preserve your fertility, have many large fibroids, or excess scar tissue makes other procedures more...

Article in English: Push the blue triangle with a single line beneath it. The door of the disc holder will now be open. The screen will freeze momentarily, which is fine. Take the disc out gently. You may hear a click, which is normal. Close the door to the disc holder by hand. Plug your controller into Slot 1/A, and ensure the memory card is properly inserted into the console. The port is located on the left side of the console, just on top of the controller port. Plug in your PS2 and connect it to your TV. Make sure the proper cables are attached. A red light will appear on the power button at the front of the console. Press the button and the light will turn green.  Using a button labeled "Source" or "Input" on your TV remote, go through the inputs until you find one where you can see your PS2's visual. If there is a game in your PS2, the start menu for that game will appear. Make sure it's highlighted in light blue and push the blue "X" button on the right side of your controller to select. The screen will have a grey background, which means you should now be on your browser screen. If your memory card is inserted correctly, it will appear as a little rectangle on the screen.  The contents of the memory card will appear once it is selected. It may take a few seconds depending on how full it is. All the data on that PS2 memory card will pop up in rows. Skip this step if the console recognized the card. Using the arrows on the left side of your controller, select data that you want to delete. Use the logo, theme, and name of the game to identify the data you want to remove.  Each piece of data is a picture that corresponds with the said game, or configuration data. (For Example, Final Fantasy would have a Chocobo, or Soul Calibur would have the logo and so on). You will slowly see 3D renderings of games that have saved data on the memory card. When there is a white light on a rendering, it means it is selected. Note that if you see the name of the game but the data icon is a blue cube, then the data is corrupted and therefore...

Article in English: Put 1 cup (240 ml) of cold water into the pressure cooker and set a steamer basket down into the cooker. If you're using a steamer basket that didn't come with your pressure cooker, ensure that it will fit inside your machine. Put the lid on the cooker and secure it closed. Turn the pressure cooker onto high pressure and set the timer to 6 minutes, if you're using small thighs. If you're using large thighs, they'll probably need closer to 9 minutes to pressure cook.

Article in English: Put 1 cup of diced papaya (per serving) into a blender with about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of honey. This may improve the consistency of the papaya extract before you add milk. Blend until the papaya is thoroughly blended and juiced. You can always add more milk to adjust the consistency later. If you are supplementing or replacing the milk with ice cream or yogurt, you can add that now as well. 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of honey, sugar, or another sweetener should do the trick. If you aren't sure how sweet you want your milkshake, leave out the honey/sugar until after you've blended all of the other ingredients. You can always add more of any ingredient to tweak the taste. Consider adding 1 1/2 of vanilla extract for a sweeter shake, or a pinch of black pepper for a spicier shake. If you aren't sure, you can always add extra seasonings after you've blended and tasted the basic shake. Blend all the ingredients for 1-2 minutes, or until the milkshake reaches a smooth consistency. Stop blending when you like the texture. If you are adding ice cubes, add them once the milkshake becomes a puree, then blend for another 30 seconds. This will ensure that the ice cubes blend into the shake, but not so much that they lose their texture. You can drink the shake as it is, or you can choose to add more ingredients to tweak the taste of the shake.  If the shake isn't sweet enough, you can add honey, sugar, or ice cream to taste. If you are using a sweet variety of papaya, then you may just choose to add more papaya. If the shake is too sweet, you can add ice cubes, or milk to dilute the shake. Consider adding black pepper, if you haven't already, for a spicy twist. If the shake is too thick, you can add more milk to loosen the consistency. If the shake is too thin, you can add ice cubes, ice cream, or more papaya to thicken it up.

Article in English: Put 1 tablespoon (15 ml) white vinegar in a spray bottle with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of dish soap and 3⁄4 cup (180 ml) of water. Spray the clover with the mixture as a spot treatment to kill it. Avoid spraying the mixture on any surrounding plants or grass, as it can damage them. Corn gluten is a natural herbicide that can be used to kill clover. Look for powdered corn gluten that you can sprinkle onto the clover. Use 20 pounds (9.1 kg) of corn gluten per 1,000 square feet (93 m2) of lawn.  Water the corn gluten once you’ve applied it and then let the area dry for 2-3 days so the gluten can kill the clover. You can apply the corn gluten again after 4-6 weeks if the clover does not die. Put a garbage bag or a plastic tarp over the clover and secure the ends with rocks. Leave it on for a few weeks so the clover is deprived of sunlight and oxygen. Make sure the clover stays covered by the tarp at all times so it dies. This option is good if you have large patches of clover in your lawn that can be covered easily by a large plastic sheet or tarp.

Article in English: Put 2 slices of the bread you want to use in your toaster and cook them for about 3-4 minutes or until they’re golden brown. Pull the bread out of your toaster once it’s finished so you can use it for your sandwich. You don’t have to toast the bread if you don’t want to, but your sandwich won’t be crispy. Set the sandwich in the middle of the microwave and run it in 15-20 increments. When the microwave’s finished running, unwrap your sandwich and check if the cheese has melted. If not, put it back in your microwave for another 15 seconds. Otherwise, unwrap your sandwich completely and serve it.  The bread may get soggier the longer it’s in the microwave. Keep any leftover sandwich in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 week.

Article in English: Put 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of vegetable or coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Put the bowl in your microwave and heat the oil on high for 15 seconds. Make sure the oil is warm but not scalding hot.  Only use 1 tablespoon (15 ml) if you only have a small stain. The pigment in turmeric is more soluble in oil than it is in water, meaning it will lift the stains off easier. Gently rub your skin in circles over the stained area. Work the oil into the skin to lift the pigment from the stain. After scrubbing for about 30 seconds, let the oil sit on your skin for 1 minute so it can draw out the stain even more. Use a disposable cotton pad to pat the oil off of your skin. Rotate the pad after each pat so it can absorb the most oil. Continue patting your skin dry until the oil is completely removed. You should notice the lifted pigment on the cotton. Lather a body or hand soap in warm water and apply it to the area that was stained. Work the soap in circles on your skin to scrub any residual stains. Rinse the soapy water off your skin and pat it dry with a towel. If you still have stains on your skin, repeat the process again.

Article in English: Put 3 to 4 pieces of ice in a plastic bag and seal it. If you don’t have ice on hand, use a freezer pack instead.  The bag helps contain the water from the melting ice cube. If you are concerned about the water leaking, double bag the ice. Set the bag of ice directly on top of the gum. Let the ice sit on the gum for 5 minutes or until the gum becomes stiff and brittle.  Ice will freeze, or harden, the gum. When gum is hard and not sticky, it is easier to remove. You can also hold the bag of ice against the gum. Prevent your hand from getting cold by placing a towel between the bag of ice and your palm. Use a dull putty knife or blade to separate the frozen gum from the fabric of your car seat. The blade should remove all or most of the gum.  Keep the blade flat to avoid poking holes in the fabric. Be patient. It may take awhile to separate the gum from the seat. Go slowly to avoid puncturing the fabric.

Article in English: Put 4 tablespoons (59.1 ml) (55.2 g) of baking soda in a bowl and add 1⁄4 cup (59 ml) of warm water. Mix the ingredients together with a spoon until it forms a paste. Use the spoon to apply the mixture to the stained area. Scrub it into the fabric with a clean toothbrush, then let it soak in for up to an hour. After an hour has passed, run cool water over the areas you covered with the paste. Keep rinsing until all the baking soda is gone. Press a clean towel into the fabric to absorb excess water. Then, allow the hat to air dry completely before wearing it again. Placing it near an open window or a fan can speed up the process. Don’t dry the hat in the clothes dryer or in direct sunlight, as the hat might get damaged by the heat and light.

Article in English: Put 8 skinless chicken drumsticks into a prep bowl and sprinkle the seasonings over them. Toss the drumsticks, so they're all coated with the seasonings. You'll need:  1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Measure out 1 cup (240 ml) of buttermilk and pour it over the drumsticks. Squeeze half of a lemon and strain it into the bowl with the chicken. Put the bowl in the refrigerator and chill the chicken for 6 to 8 hours. You can refrigerate the chicken overnight, if you'd like to prepare it the night before you want to serve it. When you're ready to oven fry your chicken, turn the oven on to 400 degrees F (200 C). Get out a baking sheet and set a wire rack on it. Spray the rack and baking sheet with cooking spray. Get out a shallow prep bowl and measure 2/3 cup (60 g) of panko bread crumbs and 1/2 cup (15 g) of crushed cornflakes into it. Stir in the remaining coating ingredients until they're combined. You'll need to add:  2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes 1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon chili powder Lift the drumsticks out of the buttermilk and lay each piece in the dry coating. Roll the drumsticks, so they're completely coated in the mixture. You may need to coat them in batches, if they don't all fit in the mixture at once. Set the coated drumsticks on the wire rack that's on the baking sheet. Take your cooking spray and spray each of the drumsticks with more cooking spray. This will make the drumsticks even crispier. Put the baking sheet in the oven and cook the drumsticks for 40 to 45 minutes. They should become crispy and turn golden brown. Remove the drumsticks from the oven and serve them immediately. You don't need to turn the drumsticks, since they're on the wire rack.

Article in English: Put a big smile on your face and walk over with confidence. Start the conversation with a warm hello and tell her your name. Try to avoid using any cheesy pick-up lines. She will probably see right through it and you may come across as disingenuous.  Shake her hand too as a friendly gesture. Not only will she think you’re a real gentleman, touching someone is a subtle way to flirt. If she’s sitting alone or even with a friend, ask if you can hang with them for a bit. Don’t just assume she’s in the mood for company or a chit chat. Your politeness will work in your favor. Keep the subjects light, casual and fun. This should be a lighthearted exchange about very general topics. Consider, for example, asking her where she grew up, what school she attended, what type of music she listens to or where she's traveled to recently. Try to let her do most of the talking so you can really get to know her. If you are still stuck for conversation starters, consider that you clearly like the same types of places so ask if she’s been there before or what her other favorite spots are around town. Let her know that you really like her eyes, her smile or her hair. Keep in mind that you don’t have to compliment a physical attribute. Think about pointing out how great her sense of humor is or how smart she seems to be.  It would be easy to overdo this but don’t. One compliment will do. Keep it short and sweet. Just enough to let her know you find her attractive. This is your first interaction so it’s completely acceptable if it only lasts a few minutes. Don’t feel obligated to camp out for hours on end.   Look for signs to see if she’s interested. Things to look for include: smiling, touching her hair, making direct eye contact, asking follow-up questions or touching your arm.  If she’s not interested, she may have her arms crossed or be giving one word answers. Before leaving, ask if she might be interested in seeing you again. If you’ve been paying attention to her signals, you will know the answer to this question before even...

Article in English: Put a curved line underneath for the basic shape of her chin. This will be her head. Draw in guidelines for the facial features (i.e., where her eyes, nose and mouth will be). Ariel has a very rounded forehead, curved cheeks, and small chin. Though this may look funny initially, it's correct. Draw two curved lines for the brows that are up, happy, and a bit inquisitive. Add in two big eyes and draw thick eyelashes as shown. Draw a small nose and full, smiling lips. Add a half circle for each ear (if drawing both). The majority of her eyes should be taken up by her pupils and irises. Think in terms of rounded triangles. Remember, Ariel's wavy, luminescent red hair is her trademark, so emphasize it as much as you can. It should go at least down the length of her back, ending in a soft curve. Don't ask how the flap works -- it just does. And it seems to be floating off of her forehead. Don't worry about abiding by the laws of physics when it comes to drawing this princess! Work in a few lines for her hair layering and all will be well. Draw a small rectangle for the neck and a square for the torso. Add circles for her seashells, and a small circle underneath that for her waist. Put a larger one below that as the beginning of her tail. Ariel (the water version, at least) always has a slight curve to her body. It should resemble a very loose "S." The placement of the shapes should mirror this angle. Draw two ovals connected by a circle. Draw small ovals for the hands and thin shapes for the fingers. Ariel's fingers and hands are especially delicate and pretty, so be careful with this part. Remember, Ariel holds herself like a dancer. Her arms are strong but free, and her fingers hang gracefully. Try to have them gently arcing into smooth lines, converging at the end of a length about the size of the rest of her body. These lines will serve as the tail. They should fan out gracefully from the end of the tail, creating an inverted "V" shape within them. Draw lines inside the tail fins to make them look more like...

Article in English: Put a dozen ice cubes into a plastic bag, and hold the ice against the gummed surface. Keep it there for as long as needed to completely chill the gum.  Ice cubes will freeze the gum into a more solid element. Once the gum is chilled or frozen, you'll be able to remove the gum by chipping it off the table with a dull knife. Soak the corner of a paper towel in vegetable oil, then press it against the gummed table. Rub the area vigorously. The gum should release from the table.  Any kind of vegetable oil will work for this method. A light, unscented oil such as canola will leave less of a residue. To use this method, tear off a short section of duct tape. Lay the duct tape on the affected surface, sticky side down. Press the tape to the table, then lift it off.  The gum should stick to the duct tape and lift off. If there's still any gum on your table, repeat this method until the gum is removed. Put a small amount of peanut butter on, and let it sit for 15 minutes. Follow by scraping it off with a butter knife.  The oil in the peanut butter will help to dissolve the chewing gum and release it from the table. If you don't have peanut butter, try another oily substance such as mayonnaise, facial moisturizer or make-up remover wipes. Press the blade between the gum and the table's surface. Push the blade gently across the table, being careful not to press down. Pressing down could scratch the table.  A dull edge, such as a butter knife, should be used. Sharper blades should be used with caution, as they could cut you or scratch the table. Try putting a little vegetable oil on the blade to aid in removal.

Article in English: Put a few teaspoons of water in the bowl on top of the diffuser. Light the candle under the diffuser and then sprinkle a few drops of your chosen essential oil into the water. The scent of the oil will waft gently around the room. You can also use a reed diffuser to disperse the scent of the essential oil. Light a candle and wait a minute or two to allow a small amount of wax to melt. Blow out the candle and add a couple of drops of essential oil to the melted wax, before carefully relighting the candle. Take care not to drop any oil on the wick as essential oils are highly flammable. If you don’t have a diffuser or candles handy, you can just fill a small bowl or saucer with boiling water and then add a few drops of essential oil. The steam will waft the aroma of the oil around the room. Just make sure that you place the dish somewhere out of reach of pets and children. Fill a small spray bottle with 2 ounces of distilled water and 2 ounces of vodka or witch hazel. Then add 30-40 drops of your favorite essential oil (or a blend of two or more oils) and shake well. Spray this essential oil room spray into the air and onto furniture and linens, but take care to avoid polished surfaces. Sprinkle two drops of essential oil onto the cushions in your living space and your pillows. You will enjoy the aroma of the essential oils every time you sit or lay your head down. If you are worried about damaging the fabric, put the essential oil drops on cotton balls and place them inside the covers of your cushions and pillowcases. Since essential oils have antibacterial properties, they can be used to create natural multi-purpose cleaning sprays. You can use these sprays to clean non-porous surfaces such as tile, glass, and plastic. In a spray bottle, combine the following ingredients and shake well.  1/2 cup of white vinegar or witch hazel 1/2 cup of water 15-20 drops of an essential oil of your choice (tea tree, lavender, lemon, and peppermint are good choices) a few drops of dish soap (optional) Cut up an old cotton...

Article in English: Put a heating pad set on low in a tissue box, and place some tissues in top of it. An alternative is to use a small bowl lined with paper towels. You can stand the bowl on a hot water bottle, or use an overhead heat lamp to keep the bird warm. Whichever you use, gently place the baby bird in it.  The ideal temperature is 85- 90 F. Do not use terry clothes to line the nest as the claws and beak may become tangled to it. Put the nest in a dark, quiet place where it won't be disturbed by children or pets. After feeding, wipe the bird's beak and face clean with a disposable wet wipe or cotton wool soaked in water.  A soiled beak area can lead to bacterial infections. A Gram Scale may be used to measure the overall progress of your bird. Every day before you feed your bird, weigh it. A healthy baby bird should gain weight everyday. If your aim is to release the bird back into the wild, then consider not weighing the bird as the more contact you have, the more likely he is to imprint on you. If your intention is to raise the bird as a pet, then go ahead and weigh regularly to check progress.

Article in English: Put a kettle of water on to boil. Use a sharp knife to slice one lemon in half. Cut a circular slice about ¼ inch thick. If you like, you can take one of the halves, squeeze out the juice and add that to your beverage with the slice. Set the slice aside for now. Place both ingredients into a mug. If you have a sore throat, the honey can help to coat and soothe it. Once the water begins to boil, remove it from heat and pour it over the honey and bourbon. Drop the lemon slice into the mug, along with one cinnamon stick and three whole cloves. Cinnamon can help relieve pain from a sore throat. It's also very high in antioxidants and the scent of cinnamon can help to open up clogged sinuses.  The cloves can relieve pain and they have antibacterial properties, too. Do not substitute clove oil for the whole cloves. The oil might upset your stomach. Stir the liquid gently with the cinnamon stick or a spoon. Let it steep. Sprinkle the drink with nutmeg and serve immediately. Stir the beverage once more. Take a pinch of nutmeg and sprinkle it over the top and serve the beverage immediately.  Feel free to remove the cloves before consuming, although they are perfectly safe to swallow and may provide additional health benefits.  You can always add lemon juice or additional honey to taste, if you like.

Вскипятите воду и порежьте лимон. Отмерьте нужное количество меда и коньяка. Залейте в кружку кипяток. Подождите пять минут, чтобы раствор настоялся.


Article in English: Put a large glass pitcher in the freezer several hours or up to a day before you plan to make the lemon or lime water. This will keep the water colder for longer. If you're serving the water in a plastic pitcher, there's no need to chill it before hand.  Chilling the pitcher gives it a frosty look that's perfect for cooling down guests on a hot summer day. You can also place glasses in the freezer so that each of your guests has a drink that is as refreshing as possible. Wash 2 lemons or 3 large limes. Remove any stickers from the fruit and place the citrus on a small cutting board. Use a small knife to carefully slice the fruit into thin slices. You may want to discard the ends of the fruit as well as any seeds. Gently squeeze the lemons (and limes, if you're using them) so they release a little juice and essential oil directly into the chilled pitcher. Don't squeeze them so much that the slices lose their round shape. Place all of the slices in the pitcher. If you'd like still water, pour in 2 quarts (1.9 liters) of cold, filtered water. If you'd like sparkling water, pour in 1 quart (0.9 liters) of seltzer water. Use a long-handled spoon to stir the citrus slices with the water. For sparkling water, you'll add another quart of seltzer just before serving. Put the pitcher of citrus water into the refrigerator. Chilling the water will infuse it with the lemon and lime flavors while making it colder. Chill the water for 2 to 4 hours. Keep in mind that the flavors of the water will be stronger the longer it chills. Scoop out the lemon slices and consider straining the lemon water through a mesh sieve if you notice seeds.  If you want sparkling lemon water, add one more quart (0.9 liter) of seltzer water to the pitcher.Pour the citrus water into serving glasses. Add a few fresh slices of lemon or lime and ice cubes before you serve the drinks.  Store the lemon water for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. You can add fresh water to the sliced lemons that you removed from the pitcher, but the second batch of...

Article in English: Put a pan on your stove top and bring up the temperature of it.  Add some cooking oil at this stage.  Heat until the oil sizzles. Use a cast iron pan for best results. Dry roast them for about 1 minute.  Stir them occasionally to prevent them from sticking to your pan and to roast them evenly.  Thicker noodles will take longer to cook. Thin noodles will cook quickly.  Take care not to overcook them. Roast the noodles until they are dried.  Stir them and listen for a squeaking noise.  Take them away from heat when they make this noise or are cooked to your preference. Dry roasting will help remove any rubbery texture the Shirataki noodles might have.

Article in English: Put a pot of water to boil on the stove. Cut a lemon into multiple slices. Put the lemon slices into the boiling water and let sit for 10-30 minutes to freshen up the house. As an alternative, steep a handful of hot cloves in the water instead of lemon slices. Cut up an onion. Put the onion slices into a bowl of water and place the bowl of onion water in the middle of the kitchen. If your entire house smells bad, consider placing bowls of onion water in different locations of the house. Let the bowls sit overnight to absorb the odors. Use bread and vinegar to absorb the smell. Fill a saucepan with water and add 2 cups of vinegar. Bring the vinegar water to a boil, then allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Take some bread and dip it in the vinegar water. Put the bread on a plate and let it absorb the odors. You can simply put out bowls of vinegar to absorb the odors. Heat the vinegar to make it more effective. Baking soda is a powerful odor absorbent, especially for kitchen smells. To clear the burned smell, put about four ounces (118.29 mL) of baking soda into bowls. Distribute the bowls around your kitchen and other areas of your home to absorb the smell.

Article in English: Put a quarter-size amount of your chemical exfoliator or scrub on your fingertips. Then, rub it across your face with circular motions. Splash the water over your face until all of the product is removed. Use cool water to shrink the look of your pores. Then, blot your face dry using a soft, clean towel. If you used a scrub, make sure that you don’t have any granules in your hair line or stuck on your skin. It can be hard to remove all of the exfoliator. Your skin might feel a little dry or tight after you exfoliate, so it’s best to moisturize your skin. Use facial lotion immediately after you exfoliate to add moisture back to your skin. Choose a moisturizer that’s formulated for your skin type. Then, massage about a dime-sized amount of it into your skin. If you use a face serum, apply the serum before you use your moisturizer. Your skin will look its best if you exfoliate it regularly. At a minimum, it’s best to exfoliate your skin twice a week. If your skin tolerates it well, exfoliate 3 times per week.  If you have sensitive skin, you may only be able to exfoliate once a week. Try 2-3 times per week but reduce how often you exfoliate if your skin is red, dry, or itchy. The best time of day to exfoliate is in the morning. Your skin renews itself at night, so the morning is the best time to scrub away your dead skin cells. A chemical exfoliator is gentler than a manual exfoliator so it’s less damaging to your skin. Look for a product that says it’s a chemical exfoliator. Additionally, read the label to make sure your product contains glycolic acid, lactic acid, beta hydroxy acid, or salicylic acid, which are popular exfoliators. You can use these types of exfoliators as a regular face wash.  You may be able to use a chemical exfoliator daily, but start with 2-3 times per week to see how your skin tolerates it. Read the label on your exfoliator and follow the instructions for the product you chose. Scrubs are manual exfoliators that slough off your top layer of skin. These types of exfoliators are great for...

Article in English: Put a thin bead of silicone around the bottom lip of the sink and set it into the hole. Clean up any excess silicone or smooth a line. Depending on the design of the sink and the opening where it connects to the plumbing lines, you may need to caulk in any number of different places.  For undermount sinks, put a bead of silicone under, have someone hold the sink in place, and install the connecting clips included with the sink. You might have to pre-drill holes with a diamond carbide tip if you're installing the sink in a granite/stone counter. Connective clips are often included with new sinks to help anchor the units into place, in addition to the sealing caulk. The design of this varies, and will depend on the type of sink and the design, but they usually act like a lever to hold the sink in place. Follow the instructions included with the new sink and defer to the manufacturer's guidelines. New faucets usually screw onto the faucet assembly in a clockwise direction. Some faucets will have a rubber gasket around the base, and screw on easily, while others will recommend using silicone sealant to secure to the sink or counter. You can anchor the faucet by reaching up underneath and using lock nuts that are included with the installation kit. Sometimes it may be easier to install the faucet before the sink, depending on the design of the counter and the fixtures. Make sure the space for the faucet matches the location of the sink, using the template to measure before you install anything. Drop the tailpiece through the sink and screw on the tailpiece nut from underneath. Some sinks come with gaskets that go between sink and tailpiece. If it doesn't, use non-hardening plumbers' putty or silicone to create the seal. Install the gasket, the included cardboard washer, and the locknut to secure the tailpiece.

Article in English: Put aside time to focus on a hobby that makes you happy, such as painting, writing, reading, or drawing. You may also do a sport as a hobby, such as basketball, golf, or skiing. Maybe you like watching bad television as a calming, relaxing activity. Doing things you like to do can make you feel more at peace. You will then give off a positive vibe that others around you will pick up on. Get in sync with your body and your breathing by taking a yoga class at your local yoga studio or gym. You can also do deep breathing exercises to help you stay calm and relaxed.

If you have a busy, chaotic schedule, try setting aside 30 minutes to one hour a day where you focus on self-care. Schedule it in so you cannot skip it or forget about it. Positive affirmations can help you approach your life and those around you with harmony and generosity. Say positive affirmations in the morning before heading out for the day or at night before bed.  For example, you may say, “I am at peace with the world” or “I feel harmonious and happy today.” Try to live according to your values. When your lifestyle aligns with your personal values and beliefs, you feel more at ease overall.

Article in English: Put at least 5 drops of the peppermint oil on each cotton ball. Place the cotton balls around your kitchen or near any entrances. After a few days, put a few more drops on the cotton balls since the oil will evaporate over time. Try different types of strong-scented essential oils to see if they deter mice. Place the repeller near an entry point or common problem area. The repeller will make a noise you can't hear that keeps mice away. Make sure nothing blocks the repeller, or else the ultrasonic waves will not work.  Ultrasonic repellers can be purchased in big box stores or online. Mice can grow accustomed to the noise that the repellers make, so they may only work for a limited time. Mice can sense when cats are around your home and will steer clear once they smell them on the premises. If mice do show up on your premises, your cat will hunt and kill them quickly. Remove any poison bait or exposed traps from your home if you bring in a cat. Chop 1 or 2 cloves of garlic and mix it with at least 1 cup (240 ml) of warm water. Shake the mixture in a spray bottle and spray near areas or trails where mice frequently travel. Reapply the spray every few days to keep mice away.  Try other strong-smelling herbs and spices, like onion and cayenne pepper. Alternatively, leave a clove of garlic in places where mice enter your home. Call your local exterminators to get quotes on their rates. Once an exterminator checks your home, they will do what they can to seal any entrances where mice get in and remove the mice already in your home. Check reviews online for your exterminator to see how they handled other's infestations.

Article in English: Put away notebooks, papers, and any other clutter that might pose a fire hazard. Avoid using a Bunsen burner below a shelf or other overhead equipment. In addition to wearing protective goggles and gloves, make sure your wardrobe is free of potential fire hazards. Tie back long hair, tuck in or remove loose clothing, and take off dangling jewelry.  Remember to always wear closed-toed shoes in the lab. Consider wearing a lab coat to cover any loose clothing. Before lighting the burner, know where to exit in case of an emergency, find the emergency gas switch, and locate the fire alarm. Note safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers and dry powder flame retardants. Hold the Bunsen burner only by the base or by the collar at the bottom of the barrel. After the burner is lit, the barrel itself will be too hot to handle. To reinforce safety habits, avoid touching the barrel even if the burner isn’t in use. Keep your eye on it at all times, and never leave the laboratory while it’s lit. If you are working on something for a moment that does not require the flame, turn it down to the coolest yellow flame (known as a safety flame).

Article in English: Put away your cell phone, tablet, laptop, and other devices that distract.  Be present in the moment with the people around you.  It's easier now to multi-task with modern technology, but it often lessens the experience of "being in the moment." Be open to listening to those around you by taking the time to really hear what they are saying.  Notice their body language, and tune-in to their actions. Share in activities with others that bring joy.  Make the everyday experiences more memorable by sharing them together.   Going to the grocery store can be an adventure.  Making dinner together can be rewarding. Humor can make ordinary things seem fun. No matter if you are just starting out in a relationship, or have been married for 30 years, it's important to show that you care about your partner even after all these years.   Make a special meal for your partner.  Be creative.  Putting in effort that goes beyond the usual routine is often rewarding for both of you. Give a small gift to show your love.  Whether it's a single rose, a handmade craft, or a card, it makes a world of difference to show you care.  Small surprises can become lasting memories and help to build stronger relationships. As you become more busy, you may start to be in a sort of "bubble" of school, work, and home, wherein you forget that there are lots of other people going through stressful times like you.  So while you're rushing to get from Point A to Point B, stop for a minute and look at the people around you. There might be someone in need, or who is feeling down.  Be kind to them, even in the smallest of ways. Sometimes the smallest gesture of kindness can change someone's outlook on their day, their week, their year, or their life.

Summary in Russian:

Проживайте настоящий момент. Смейтесь и весело проводите время вместе. Сделайте так, чтобы ваш партнер (супруг или парень/девушка) чувствовал себя особенным. Проявляйте акты доброты.


Article in English: Put down the straight edge of a piece of paper onto your map between the two distances you want to measure. Make a tick mark on the paper’s edge to indicate your “point A” and one to indicate your “point B.”  Hold the piece of paper still and evenly against your two points in order to make the most accurate tick marks. If you want to, you can use a ruler or tape measure straight on the map, and note down the measurement to the smallest fraction of a unit possible. Place a ruler or measuring tape up against your piece of paper with the two tick marks and note the distance from one to the other. Use this method when your distance is too large for the bar scale given on the map, or you want to find a precise measurement using numbers.  If measuring with centimeters, find the distance to the nearest millimeter. If using inches, find the distance to the nearest eighth of an inch. Note the scale given at the bottom of the map. It should show a ratio and a bar scale in both centimeters and inches. If one equates to a whole number, like 1 centimeter = 1 mile, you might choose that unit for easiest measuring. Use the representative fraction, or ratio, of the map to find the ground distance based on your measurement on the map. Multiply your distance by the scale number.  For example, for a map with a scale of 1:10,000: If you measured 10 centimeters from your Point A to Point B tick marks, you would multiply 10 by 10,000 to get 100,000 centimeters, the true ground distance from Point A to Point B.  You can then convert your number to a more relevant distance. 100,000 centimeters equals 1 kilometer, for example, which is about 0.62 miles.

Article in English: Put enough sunflower, vegetable, or canola oil to come 2 inches (5.1 cm) up the sides of the pot and set the pot on the stove. Clip a deep-fry thermometer to the pot and heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 °F (191 °C). It's important to use a neutral-high that you can heat to high temperatures. This is why you shouldn't use extra-virgin olive oil. Once the oil reaches 375 °F (191 °C), put a few of the dried rice grains into the pot. They should puff up instantly if the oil is ready. If the rice takes more than 10 to 15 seconds to puff up, heat the oil longer and check the accuracy of your deep-fry thermometer. Pour the dried rice into a small fine mesh strainer and lower the strainer into the pot. The rice will begin to puff up after 5 to 10 seconds of being in the oil.  The puffed rice will float to the top of the oil. If you're using dried rice that you didn't cook first, it may take closer to 20 seconds for the rice to puff up. Turn off the burner and place paper towels on a rimmed baking sheet. Slowly lift the fine mesh strainer with the puffed rice up and out of the hot oil. Then dump the puffed rice onto the paper towels.  The paper towels will absorb the excess oil from the puffed rice. Let the oil in the pot cool completely before you store or discard it. Let the puffed rice cool for at least 5 minutes before you season and enjoy it. For seasonings, sprinkle salt, powdered sugar, or cinnamon sugar over the puffed rice according to your taste.  In addition to enjoying the puffed rice on its own, you can also use it to make puffed rice cakes. To store leftover puffed rice, including puffed rice cake, put it into an airtight container and keep it at room temperature. Use the puffed rice within 5 to 7 days.

Article in English: Put everything into a waterproof bag and make an itemized list of what you’ve packed so it’ll be easy to find what you need. Don’t forget EpiPens if needed, and double-check that everyone in your group has their necessary medications. Double-check your kit after each camping trip and replenish any items that have been used. Pests like mosquitos can cause a lot of irritation, and they love being near bodies of water. Make sure to spray any areas of skin that are exposed, like ankles and wrists. You should also spray your clothes to keep the bugs away.  Leave your lotions, perfumes, and colognes at home—bugs are attracted to scented things. Pack a citronella candle to light at night and help ward off some insects. They might not clear away all the bugs, but they’ll minimize how many are coming around your area. For your tent, you’ll need the tent, poles, stakes, and something to hammer to stakes into the ground. Each camper will need a sleeping bag or pad. Depending on the weather, you may want to bring additional blankets. If your sleeping bag doesn’t have one built in, bring along a pillow for extra comfort.  A lot of tents come with extra tarps for rain protection and a pad that provides insulation from the cold ground. If yours doesn’t have these extra features, you may want to also bring along a tarp and a floor pad, just in case you have inclement or cold weather. Don’t forget to bring chairs so you can sit outside of your tent, too. If you are backpacking, you may just need a frying pan, spatula, bowl, mug, and other simple necessities to allow you to eat on the trail. If you’re camping at a campsite, you may need more reinforcements. Plan to bring:  Frying pan Pot French press or other coffee maker Roasting sticks Trash bags Plates, bowls, silverware Mugs Knife, spatula, wooden spoon Cutting board Dish soap Sponge and dishtowel Paper towels Foil Storage bags/containers Hand sanitizer Every camper should have a flashlight, backup batteries, matches or a lighter, an ax, and a map of the surrounding area....

Article in English: Put forth effort into the relationship and work hard to make it work. Communicate openly with your partner about your goals for the relationship and where you see it going. If you're only interested in a short-term fling, be honest. If you've got an eye toward serious long-term love, be honest. There's nothing wrong with either kind of love, but you need to make sure that your partner is equally committed to the same version of love that you are. Commit to the person and to the relationship. Put in work to make your partner feel special, and work toward making the relationship work. The word "intimacy" is often associated with sex, but being emotionally intimate is a huge part of a loving relationship. Emotional intimacy involves allowing yourself to feel and express vulnerability around your partner. Avoiding vulnerability can look like withdrawal, attack, or accusations. On the contrary, intimacy can look like sharing fears, discomfort, and disappointment with your partner. Feelings or situations that previously felt unsafe feel safer in an intimate relationship because of the vulnerability and trust that has been developed.  When you begin to feel vulnerable (like experiencing fear, sadness, shame, or hurt), take a moment and pause. Acknowledge whatever feelings come up and allow yourself to feel them; don’t avoid them. Take compassion on the feeling and be gentle with it. Share your vulnerable moments and let your partner support you. If you’re concerned that the initial attraction and strong feelings of love are wearing off, realize that love can occur in waves. Sometimes you feel overwhelmingly in love with someone, and other times you experience less love to or from that person. Just because you hit a low point doesn’t mean that the feelings will last forever. Life happens in cycles, and it’s okay that love experiences highs and lows.  Lots of things can create peaks and troughs in love, such as having children or growing older. You can work through them. You don’t have to be the one in control of the...
