Article in English: Mix 1⁄3 cup (79 ml) olive oil and 2/3 cup (134 g) of white sugar in a bowl until they’re thoroughly combined. Then, use your hands to rub the scrub into your knees. After rubbing for about 30 seconds, let the scrub sit on your knees for 5 minutes before rinsing it off with water. Using an exfoliating mixture on your skin helps to remove dead skin cells, which can make the skin appear lighter and brighter. Add equal parts baking soda and lemon juice to a small bowl, and stir them until a paste forms. Use your hands to rub the paste into your knees for about 1 minute, and then rinse with water. Both baking soda and lemon juice work well as natural lightening agents for many people, and the grittiness of the baking soda helps to exfoliate your skin. Both of these can help to make dark skin look lighter over time. Every night, apply 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of almond oil to your knees. Make sure your knees are coated with the oil, and then cover them with a strip of fabric or a towel overnight. While almond oil is a natural lightener, it will also add moisture to your skin, which helps to reduce darkness by making the skin more supple. Mix 1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of plain yogurt with 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of freshly extracted aloe gel. Use a spatula to apply the mask to your knees, and let it sit for 15-30 minutes. Then, rinse your knees with water.  Aloe has been proven as a natural healing for scars in a number of studies.  To extract aloe gel from the leaves of an aloe plant, simply cut the leaf off of the plant and slice down the center of the leaf. Then, use a spoon to scoop the gel out of the leaf. If you don’t have fresh aloe gel available, you can purchase pure aloe from most pharmacies or supermarkets. If you don’t want to make a scrub, you can use a physical exfoliator like a loofah or sponge to scrub away the dead skin cells. Purchase one at your local supermarket, pharmacy, or beauty supply store, and use it to wash your body in the shower, scrubbing each of your knees for at least 30 seconds. Physical...

Summary in Russian:

Приготовьте скраб из сахара и оливкового масла, чтобы отшелушить колени. Смешайте соду с лимонным соком, чтобы приготовить натуральную осветляющую пасту. Вотрите в колени миндальное масло, если вам нужно недорогое увлажняющее средство. Нанесите маску с алоэ вера, если у вас на коленях есть шрамы или повреждения от солнца.

Article in English: Mix 2 tsp (10 ml) of isabgol in 8 oz (240 ml) of warm water, along with 1 to 2 tsp (5 to 10 ml) of freshly-squeezed lemon juice. Prepare the mixture before a meal and drink it immediately.  Similarly, you can drink the same mixture as soon as you wake up in the morning. The bulk produced by isabgol makes you feel fuller, so it is easier to eat less during a meal. Isabgol is also a colon cleanser, so it can help clean out any waste products clogging up your digestive system and slowing down your metabolism. Eat an isabgol wafer once a day immediately after a meal to help your heart health.  Alternatively, you could take the isabgol as soon as you wake up in the morning for similar results. The fiber content in isabgol is believed t help reduce cholesterol in your system. Since the supplement is also low in fat, it does not contribute anything harmful to cholesterol problems. Theoretically, isabgol coats the walls of your intestines and helps prevent the blood from absorbing cholesterol from other foods you eat. As a result, the cholesterol levels in your blood drop. Dissolve 1 to 2 tsp (5 to 10 ml) of powdered isabgol into 8 oz (240 ml) of milk or water after every meal. Do this on a regular basis.  When your digestive system processes isabgol, a thick, gel-like substance forms and coats the walls of your intestines. This coating slows down the breakdown and absorption rate of glucose. Since your body will be absorbing glucose more evenly and slowly, your blood sugar is less likely to spike.  When you have diabetes, you should avoid having isabgol with curds. Due to the imbalances in your body, the isabgol is more likely to cause constipation when taken with curds if you have diabetes.

Article in English: Mix 3 cups of milk, 3 tbsp. of cornstarch, ½ teaspoon of salt, ½ cup (100 g.) of sugar, 2 tbsp. of butter, and a pinch of vanilla extract together in a pan. Mix the ingredients together until they've blended well. Heat the ingredients until they're reached a simmer. Then, remove them from the heat. Whisk the 4 egg yolks together until they turn pale. This should take about 1 minute. Pour the cream into the egg yolk and continue to whisk the yolks as you do this. This will heat the yolks gently without cooking them. Stir it constantly with a wooden spoon as it continues to heat up. Take care to scrape the bottom of the pan with the spoon so the custard doesn't stick. Cook until the custard thickens to the desired consistency. Do not allow the custard to boil -- this will curdle it leaving you with a lumpy mess. Wait at least five minutes for the ingredients of the custard to thicken a bit. Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon and a handful of berries over the custard and enjoy this rich and creamy dessert.

Article in English: Mix 3 parts of baking soda to 1 part water to make a thick paste. This versatile cleaner will work with all colors of grout, but vinegar can be harmful to some natural stones such as marble or limestone.  Apply the paste to the grout lines with your finger. Although the baking soda isn’t harmful, wearing rubber gloves can help prevent scratches or irritated skin from the abrasive grout and baking soda. Make a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water and pour this into a spray bottle. Then, spray the baking soda past with the vinegar solution. You should immediately see bubbling which lets you know the natural cleaning process has begun.  When baking soda and vinegar mix, they produce a chemical reaction that can break down grime and kill bacteria. You can use this to get rid of tough stains or to sanitize surfaces in your home.  Do not use vinegar if your tile is made of natural stone. The bubbling action is a chemical reaction between the baking soda and vinegar. The reaction generally lasts a few minutes. After the bubbling has stopped the chemical cleaning action is done. Use a nylon bristled scrub brush, or a toothbrush, to scrub along each grout line. Pay close attention to corners and edges to make these areas clean as well. Use a mop and plain water to remove the baking soda and vinegar residues. Rinse your mop and change the water often during the cleaning process so you do not continue to spread the residue around the floor.

Article in English: Mix 3 teaspoons of raw honey with 1/2 a teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl. Apply the mixture to your face and the mask on for 20-30 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water. If you have sensitive skin, cinnamon can cause some irritation. To see if your skin will be bothered by the cinnamon, test the mask mixture on a small patch of skin to see how you react. Combine 1 teaspoon of avocado, 1 teaspoon of plain yogurt, and 1 teaspoon of raw honey in a small bowl. Mix these ingredients with a fork or your fingers until they are smooth. Apply this mask to your face and let it soak into your skin for approximately 20 minutes. After it has sat on your skin for 20 minutes, rinse the mask off with warm water. The avocado fats and the whole milk yogurt fats help to moisturize your skin, while the yogurt’s lactic acid promotes collagen production, and evens out your complexion. Combine 1 teaspoon of aloe vera with 1 teaspoon of raw honey in a small bowl. Apply the mixture onto your face and leave it for 20-30 minutes. Rinse the mask off with warm water, and pat dry your face. Aloe helps to reduce redness and irritation, which is prevalent with people who have sensitive skin. Mix 2 teaspoons of raw honey with 1/2 a teaspoon of lemon juice. Apply this mixture to your face and let it soak into your skin for approximately 20 minutes. Rinse off the mixture and pat dry your face.  Lemon juice is a natural exfoliate that can help reduce the appearance of scars and dark spots on your face. However, remember that you might have to use this mask over a period of time to see a noticeable difference. Lemons contain citric acid which can cause acidic burns if too much is used. If you have sensitive skin, be wary of citric acid ingredients in the masks you use. To make sure you don't hurt yourself, do a patch test of the back of your hand to see how your skin could react.

Article in English: Mix a bit of green tea powder with water and stir to create a paste. Apply it to the skin around your nose and let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then rinse off. Green tea masks are especially helpful for soothing redness caused by rosacea, a skin condition that causes redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small bumps on your face. Many acne products, including salicylic acid and retinoids, can cause redness and irritation. Stop using these products until your irritation calms down. Then, ease them back into your routine by applying very small amounts every second or third night. To fight your acne in the meantime, try at-home clarifying and hydrating tricks like mud masks and Manuka honey. If the skin around your nose gets flushed and irritated when you’re out in the cold, soak a soft cloth in warm water and lay it on your nose for a few minutes. The warmth will help calm your skin and soothe the irritation. Keep your nose warm when you’re out in the cold by wrapping a scarf around your face. Breathing into the fabric will keep a pocket of warm air and moisture around your nose. Healthy fats contain omega-3 fatty acids, which strengthen your skin cells and help them stay moisturized. Some healthy fats to incorporate into your diet include avocados, walnuts, and olive oil.  Avoid spicy foods and alcohol, which can often cause redness. Avoid refined and processed carbohydrates. Your body needs more water to digest carbs, pulling it away from your skin and causing dryness and irritation. Dry skin is often caused by general dehydration. Men should drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 L) of water a day, while women should aim for 11.5 cups (2.7 L). Bring a water bottle to work or school and sip from it throughout the day. Try adding some flavor to your water with lemon or lime wedges, or slices of cucumber, strawberry, melon, or other fresh fruits and veggies.

Article in English: Mix baking soda or higher proportions of OxiClean, detergent or crushed aspirin with water in order to create a paste. Scrub the paste into the stain with a toothbrush or nailbrush as described above.  Let sit for an hour. You really only need to soak the stained portion, but you can submerge the entire garment if you like.  For lesser stains, soaking may not be necessary.  Pour the solution into a spray bottle and apply to stained areas.  Generously spray and allow the solution to soak in before washing as usual. If you have sensitive skin you may want to wear rubber gloves for the following steps, as the cleaning agents contain strong chemicals. Stay away from bleach products when soaking clothing, as the chemical oxidize dyes which could lead to discoloration.   The items listed in this article do not contain bleach and should be fabric safe. Soaking time really depends on how light or dark the stain.  Lighter stains may only need to sit for 15 to 30 minutes, while dark stains can sit for a few hours, possibly even overnight.   Monitor your garment.  If the stain fades quickly, remove from the soak.  If the stain barely fades in an hour, leave overnight. If a garment has been stained for a long period of time, it will be harder to remove.  Try to treat your armpit stains as soon as they appear. Some materials do not react well with heat, either shrinking the garment or fading the color. Check the garment’s tags for washing instructions.

Article in English: Mix equal parts olive oil and sugar in a small bowl to get a paste. Stand over your sink so you don't make a mess. Use a clean, soft washcloth to gently massage the mixture onto your lips using a circular motion. Rinse the mixture off with warm, not hot, water – cup your hands and splash water onto your mouth until it’s clean. Pat your lips dry and apply petroleum jelly or hydrating lip balm to moisturize your lips.  You can use white or brown sugar, but not powdered. Coconut oil is a tasty alternative to olive oil. The longer (and harder) you rub the mixture on your lips the more intensely it will exfoliate. Do this for about a minute, maximum.  Too much exfoliating can make lips sore or chapped. Oil-based scrubs are great for dry skin because they're very hydrating. Mix baking soda with water to form a gritty paste; you may have to experiment with the ratio. Use a clean washcloth or old toothbrush with soft, straight bristles to rub the paste onto your lips in a gentle, circular motion. Rinse with warm water, gently pat dry, and apply lip balm or petroleum jelly.  Baking soda and water do not moisturize your lips at all, so be sure to apply a moisturizing lip balm when you’re done. This scrub may be a good choice if you have oily skin around your mouth because it's non-greasy. Mix 1/3 honey and 2/3 sugar in a small bowl. Apply it to your lips in a circular motion. You can use your finger if you wash your hands first, or a soft toothbrush, clean washcloth, or cotton swab. Leave the paste on for 2-3 minutes. Wash it off with warm water – honey is sticky so it may take a few minutes of washing. Rub your lips gently with a cloth, then moisturize. You can also leave this scrub on overnight if you wish. After you apply the scrub, put a strip of paper towel on your lips and lightly push it down – this will keep the scrub from getting all over your bedding and face. Sleep on your back and keep your head upright. Remove the paper strip in the morning, wash the scrub off, and moisturize your lips well.

Article in English: Mix equal parts tea tree oil and an oil like olive, castor, avocado or jojoba. Dip a cotton ball in the mix and gently scrub around your eyelids and eyes. Leave the solution on your eyes as long as you don't have any stinging. If you do feel stinging, rinse with warm water. Re-apply the solution every four hours for one week and then every eight hours for three more weeks.  You need to continue washing your eyelashes and eyes so that you account for the lifespan of the eye mite (four weeks). Since tea tree oil can irritate, you may want to ask your eye doctor about using it. It is not clear if wearing eye makeup increases the risk of eye mites, but if you do wear make up (especially mascara) make sure the mascara is not old and is well-sealed. Don't forget to wash your makeup brushes at least twice a month. Follow this makeup replacement schedule:  Liquid eyeliner: every three months Cream eye shadow: every six months Pencil eyeliners and powders: every two years Mascara: every three months Because mites can survive on clothing and bedsheets (but are very susceptible to heat), wash all clothing, towels, bedsheets, pillowcases, handkerchiefs, blankets and any other material that may have come into contact with your eyes and skin in hot, soapy water. Dry them at high heat. Do this at least once a week. You should also have your pets checked for mites and wash their linen. Your doctor will probably talk to you about washing with tea tree oil. Although your doctor may recommend an over-the-counter product like permethrin or ivermectin, more research is needed to determine their effectiveness. You'll also need to keep up good hygiene for several weeks, so that the mites don't hatch eggs and repopulate your eyelids. If you think you have eye mites, see your doctor before starting any treatments. This is especially important if you have rosacea since the eye mites can cause a bacterial infection.

Article in English: Mix four parts Pearl Ex pigment with one part powdered gum arabic. Stir the two powders together until evenly blended. Consider mixing the paint in a plastic well palette, just as you would mix most traditional paints. Slowly add water to the blended powder, mixing continuously, until you achieve the paint consistency you desire. The exact amount can vary, but usually, you will need four parts water for every one part gum arabic. This also means that the amount of water you use will be similar to the amount of Pearl Ex pigment used. Use this paint as you would use any other watercolor paint.  If necessary, you can lightly trace designs and outlines onto cardstock or heavy paper using a pencil. These traced designs can serve as a guide, so you can paint over the pencil marks with the Pearl Ex based paint. When painting a picture with more than one color of Pearl Ex paint, you should mix all paint colors first before you begin painting. As the paint sits, it may start to dry out. You should be able to reconstitute the paint by slowly mixing more water into it. You will not need to add the same amount of water as you originally used, however. Start with a much smaller amount and gradually increase it until the paint returns to the correct consistency.

Article in English: Mix one part olive oil to one part vinegar. Add a small squirt of lemon oil or fresh lemon juice, if desired. You won’t need a lot of solution; you can pour the mixture in a jar, put a lid on the jar and shake to mix.  Instead of olive oil, you can try 1/4 cup (60 mL) fresh lemon juice, 1/8 cup (30 mL) distilled vinegar, and 1/8 cup (30 mL) flax oil to restore your wood furniture. Olive oil and vinegar polishes, restores moisture to dry wood, and can remove light scratches and rings from water condensation. Besides having an attractive fragrance, lemon is acidic, so it works as a cleaning agent. For instance, you may want to test the solution in a small area underneath the furniture. Dip your cloth to get just a bit of solution on it. Rub the cloth on the test area, then buff it dry with a clean cloth.  If you don’t notice any negative effect to the test area, you can proceed with cleaning the whole piece. In addition to or instead of the test area, consult with the manufacturer of your furniture via their website to find the proper care instructions for your furniture. Use a soft, clean rag or a piece of cheese cloth. Dip the rag to get a small amount of the mixture on it. Too much liquid can penetrate the wood and cause damage. Don’t pour solution directly onto the furniture. Make sure to distribute the polish evenly. Rub with the grain to remove water marks and scratches. Switch to a clean area of the cloth, or a new cloth, when you see it becoming visibly dirty. Use a clean cloth to buff the wood in circular motions. If you notice any spots that didn’t get clean, use the cleaning solution on them and go back to buffing. Make sure to buff away moisture as the last step. Annual or biannual polishing will give your wood furniture moisture and shine, and help prevent it from looking dry and worn.

Article in English: Mix one part sea salt to 3 parts hot water. Depending on how much sea salt facial spray you’d like to make, determine how much salt and hot water you need. Use hot water to ensure that the sea salt dissolves thoroughly. For example, mix 10 teaspoons (49 mL) of sea salt in 30 teaspoons (150 mL) (roughly 2⁄3 cup (0.16 L)) of hot water. Once the sea salt has dissolved in the hot water, add one part natural ingredient that boosts the healing properties of the sea salt spray. Choose just one of these to add. For example:  Add aloe vera gel, which may help heal your skin. Add green tea that you’ve steeped for at least 3-5 minutes. Green tea has antioxidant benefits. Add honey, which is known for its antibacterial actions and healing properties. If you have 10 teaspoons (49 mL) of sea salt, then make sure to add 10 teaspoons (49 mL) of the aloe vera gel (or green tea or honey). Use a clean spray bottle that has not had any chemicals in it. It’s best to start with a new spray bottle that you use only for the sea salt facial spray. The mixture will preserve best if it is kept cool. Use a gentle cleanser to wash your face. Use your fingertips to massage your skin. Rinse your face with cool water. Pat dry with a clean towel. Salt water will make your eyes sting, so make sure to either close or cover your eyes. Then spray your face and neck liberally with the sea salt facial spray. Give the spray a chance to soak into your skin. Don’t leave the spray on any longer than 10 minutes. Sea salt draws out moisture and can dry your skin too much. Completely rinse your face and neck with cool to lukewarm water. Pat dry with a towel. Don’t rub your face, since this will irritate your skin more. Non-comedogenic means that the moisturizer will not clog your pores. If you need to wash your face during the day (such as after exercising), use a mild soap.  Work it into your facial skin using gentle circular motions.  Rinse off completely with cool or lukewarm water and re-apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer. Only use the sea salt...

Article in English: Mix one tablespoon baking soda and two cups (473 milliliters) water, adjusting the ratio as needed in order to get a paste that's spreadable.  Rub the mixture on the rust spot in the direction of the grain with a clean cloth.  Rinse and wipe the rusty area with a damp paper towel. If possible, submerge the entire rusty stainless steel object in a tall cup of vinegar.  This works best with, for instance, cutlery or jewelry.  If you can’t submerge the stainless steel object, or the rusty portion of it, fill a spray bottle with vinegar and spray an even coat of vinegar onto the rusty stainless steel object you’re interested in cleaning.  Wait five minutes after applying the vinegar.  Wipe the rust with a damp sponge. Distilled white vinegar is best for this, but any type of vinegar will do. Alternately, you could pour or spray a bit of vinegar onto a soft scrubbing pad and use it to gently wipe away the rust. Mix equal amounts of lemon juice and baking soda to form a paste.  For instance, you might choose to combine one tablespoon of lemon juice and one tablespoon of baking soda.  Coat the rust with the paste, then use a damp sponge to scrub the rust away.  If the rust remains after one application, let the paste sit on the rust for 15-30 minutes, then scrub it away with a damp sponge. Lime juice is a viable substitute for lemon juice in this solution. Combine one tablespoon of cream of tartar with a few drops of lemon juice.  Cover the rusty spots on your stainless steel object with the paste.  Using a soft sponge, rub the paste firmly over the rust.  Wipe away with a damp sponge.  Dry with a dish cloth. Squirt a bit of lighter fluid onto a clean dish cloth.  Scrub the rust spot using the cloth.  Because lighter fluid is flammable, this option should be used only as a last resort.  Thoroughly wipe the lighter fluid away with a damp sponge after cleaning the rust. Do not clean rust off stainless steel with lighter fluid if you are near an open flame.

Article in English: Mix roughly 2 tsp (10 ml) of isabgol with 3 tsp (15 ml) of fresh curd until well combined. Eat this mixture directly after a meal. Be sure to consult your doctor, though, before you try using isabgol in a curd form.  Follow your curds with a full glass of water. This helps prevent choking. You should do this twice daily to see positive results. The consistency of curds causes the isabgol to react differently in the cut. Instead of softening the stools further, the isabgol adds bulk and helps solidify loose stools. The combination of curds and isabgol also gives your stomach a good dose of probiotics, which can help heal an underlying cause of diarrhea. In professional medical settings, this product is commonly used to treat diarrhea in patients who are tube fed. If you have some form of irritable bowl syndrome (IBS) or other chronic digestive problems, mix 2 tsp (10 ml) of isabgol in 8 oz (240 ml) of water and drink it immediately. Repeat at the same time every day until your disorder is under control. Isabgol can help those with IBS regulate their bowel movements and consistency.  Since isabgol contains both soluble and insoluble fibers, it helps cleanse your stomach more regularly while enhancing your bowels' ability to push waste through quicker. A healthier, toxin-free stomach and a colon that regularly evacuates waste products will lead to an overall healthier, more regular digestive system within a few weeks. Right before you go to sleep for the night, mix 2 tsp (10 ml) of powdered isabgol in warm water until dissolved. Drink the mixture immediately.  The soluble and insoluble fibers in isabgol help clear your bowels. By absorbing water from the rest of the intestines, it isabgol also causes your stools to be softer, making them easier to pass without pain. Both anal fissures (tear and cracks in the anus) and hemorrhoids (also called "piles") can result due to chronic or acute constipation. If you continue to pass hard stools, these conditions can become more irritated and eventually worsen. If you deal...

Article in English: Mix the 8 oz. package of softened cream cheese with the ½ cup of peanut butter in a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer. Mix until the ingredients become smooth. This mixing should take about 2-3 minutes. Add in the  3-3 ½ cups of powdered sugar. Add in the powdered sugar in gradually, making sure every addition is blended in well before adding the next bit of powder. This blending process should take about 3-5 minutes. Once the powdered sugar is well blended, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla. The vanilla shouldn't take very long to mix in with the rest of the ingredients, about 30 seconds. When you add the vanilla, make sure the electric mixer is still going. You want the mixer to be constantly mixing. Once all the frosting ingredients are mixed in, add in 2 tablespoon of either milk or cream to change the consistency of the frosting to your liking. If you’re looking for a low-fat option, you can try using skim milk or reduced fat cream, along with reduced fat cream cheese.

Article in English: Mix the egg whites at medium high or high speed with an electric mixer. Keep the mixer moving around the inside perimeter of the bowl so all the contents are mixed equally and thoroughly. Properly beaten egg whites will be uniformly white and will be rather stiff. They should also form soft peaks and be light and fluffy looking. This is a critical step. Some cookbooks recommend adding a small amount, usually less than 1/4 teaspoon, of Cream of Tartar to help with the beating. The cream helps make the egg whites fluffier. Gently mix this small amount of egg whites into the batter. Doing this is called ‘tempering’ the batter and helps with when mixing in the rest of the egg whites. Only stir the egg whites into the batter until the batter looks barely combined and slightly clumpy. Make sure all other ingredients are thoroughly mixed according to the recipe you are using before adding the egg whites.

Article in English: Mix the sanded grout with water in a bucket, according to the manufacturer directions. Firmly press it into the grout lines with the grout float, working in small sections at a time. Remove the excess grout from the surface of the tile before it has a chance to dry. Fill a second bucket with water and use it to wet the large sponge with rounded corners. Wring out the sponge and then wipe over the tile so that you are moving at a diagonal to the grout lines. If you wipe parallel to the grout lines, you might gouge out some of the grout and leave an uneven surface. Rinse the sponge in the bucket of water and repeat until all the grout is removed from the surface of the tile. Sometimes its smart to leave a humidifier on during the two days you're letting it sit, to help the grout gain in strength.

Article in English: Mix three tablespoons (45 mL) of vinegar for every cup (240 mL) of filtered water. For instance, you may want to test the solution underneath the furniture in a spot that isn’t easily seen. Dampen a cloth with your solution, so that the cloth is moist, not dripping. Apply a small amount of the solution to the test area, then buff it dry with a clean cloth.  If you don’t notice any negative effect to the test area, you can proceed with cleaning the whole piece. In addition to or instead of the test area, consult with the manufacturer of your furniture via their website to find the proper care instructions for your furniture. Use a soft, clean rag or a piece of cheese cloth. You can spray the solution onto the rag or dip the cloth in the bucket of solution. Make sure to completely wring out the cloth so that it’s not overly saturated. Too much liquid can penetrate the wood and cause damage. Don’t spray the furniture directly. Make circular motions. Rub with the grain to remove water marks. Rinse the cloth or switch to a clean one when you see it becoming visibly dirty. Use a clean cloth to buff the wood in circular motions. If you notice any spots that didn’t get clean, use the cleaning solution on them and go back to buffing. Make sure to buff away moisture as the last step.

Article in English: Mix together 1/3 cup maple syrup and ½ cup brown sugar. After placing the bacon on your pan, use a pastry brush to coat each slice with the sugar mixture. Continue baking the bacon normally until it reaches the desired level of crispiness.  Cook the candied bacon on a rack for maximum crispiness. Make sure to protect the rack from the sugar mixture with foil or parchment paper. Candied bacon is delicious by itself but is also an excellent addition to sandwiches and breakfast platters. Many delicious dishes can be wrapped in bacon and baked in the oven. For example, make bacon-wrapped cookies by wrapping balls of cookie dough in a piece of bacon before cooking. Cheese stuffed jalapenos, meatballs, and chicken breasts can also be wrapped in bacon. Keep in mind that the bacon will need fifteen to twenty minutes to cook. Experiment by wrapping both sweet foods and salty foods in bacon. Bacon is good with almost anything! Bake a tray or two of bacon in advance. Then, store the cooked bacon in your refrigerator for seven to ten days. Add bacon to your sandwiches throughout the week or crumble up a few pieces to add to a salad for a flavor boost. Cover the bacon before you store it by using plastic wrap or a storage container with a lid.

Article in English: Mix together 1  c (240 mL) of chlorine bleach, 1  c (240 mL) of laundry detergent, and 1 US gal (3.8 L) of warm water. This mixture will create a cleaning solution that is strong enough to remove most dirt and stains, but gentle enough to keep from damaging your teak furniture. As always when handling bleach, be careful not to get it on any other materials. Use a soft plastic brush to apply the bleach solution and gently scrub it into the teak wood. Let the solution sit for approximately 15 minutes and then rinse it off completely with water. Make sure to do this cleaning outdoors. If you must do it inside, use a drop cloth on the floor to avoid spilling any bleach around your home and damaging something. Instead of power washing away all of the dirt (along with all of the protective elements), use a handheld scrubbing brush to get a controlled clean for your teak furniture. Gently scrub away any stains or imperfections in the wood. But don’t scrub too hard or you might damage the wood permanently. Getting the teak wood wet first can help the scrubbing process be more effective. And a constant flow of water will help rinse away any dirt or grime as you clean. This cleaning method is more aggressive in fighting stains and signs of wear. So it may be better suited for teak furniture that has been left outdoors for long periods of time. Simply apply the teak cleaning solution to the furniture and scrub it in with a soft brush. Generally, you should let it remain on the teak for 15 minutes or so before you rinse it off with the hose.  Follow the directions for application on the bottle. Look for the active ingredient oxalic acid in any store-bought teak cleaner. Whether you use store-bought teak cleaner or a bleach cleaning solution, you’ll need to rinse off any remaining residue after you finish cleaning. Use a garden hose to rinse the teak off completely and let it air dry. If you are cleaning your teak furniture indoors, use a damp cloth to wipe off any remaining cleaner residue.

Article in English: Mix together 1⁄4  c (59 mL) of water and 1⁄4  c (59 mL) of baking soda in a small bowl. Add the mixture to the washing machine’s detergent container where you normally put the laundry detergent. Do not pour the mixture directly into the main cavity (the drum) of the washing machine. Purchase some distilled white vinegar to help clean the inside of the washing machine. Pour 2  c (470 mL) of the vinegar directly into the drum. Make sure nothing else is in the machine when you pour the vinegar inside. Once you have added the baking soda solution and the vinegar, run the machine on a regular cycle. Use a full cycle setting, not just a spin cycle or a rinse cycle.  Run the machine on the warm/hot setting. Again, make sure you don’t have any clothes or other laundry inside the machine while you run it. Otherwise, they will smell like vinegar when the cycle is done. Once you have finished running the machine with the vinegar and cleaning solution inside, wipe down the interior of the washing machine to help remove any remaining vinegar smell. Use a sponge to scrub the inside of the machine. Be sure to get into all of the nooks and crannies or the interior.

Article in English: Mix together Epsom Salts, baking powder, salt peter, and ammonia with a gallon (4 liters) of water for an all-around fertilizer. This mixture is good for any plant type and should be sprayed once every 4-6 weeks. To make it, simply combine the ingredients with a gallon (4 liters) of water and shake or mix until completely dissolved:  1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) Epsom Salts 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) baking powder 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) saltpeter 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) ammonia. Mix 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) Epsom salts with 1 gallon (4 liters) water for an even easier liquid fertilizer. Epsom salts contain both magnesium and sulfur acids, which help plants stay healthy and gives added flavor to a variety of vegetables. Once a month, mix up 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) of Epsom salts with 1 gallon (4 liters) water and use this to water your plants.  Roses, in particular, love Epsom salt baths. You can use a tablespoon of salt for each foot the rose bush is tall, mixing in a gallon of water and using twice a year-- once the leaves appear and right after the first series of blooms.  Epsom salt baths can help make up for soil that is low in magnesium and sulfur. While an Epsom salt bath will help your plants sprout, you will need to give them nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium to keep them growing. Sprinkle Epsom salt over the soil of new plants, using a rough tablespoon for each plant. You can sprinkle a tablespoon of Epsom salts on top of the soil for your new seedlings, as they help promote strong, early growth. This is best done right when you transfer the plants from pots or planters into the soil. As you water the plants, they will slowly dissolve the Epsom salts into the soil.

Article in English: Mix vinegar with warm water and rub it over the injured area. Vinegar increases the blood flow to the skin's surface, encouraging the bruised area to heal quicker. Pineapple and papaya contain a digestive enzyme called bromelain that breaks down the proteins that can trap blood and fluids in your tissues. Eat as much pineapple as you want to absorb the bromelain and help your body flush away the bruise. Take two approaches to getting enough vitamin C to quickly heal your bruise.  First, make sure you are eating enough vitamin C by consuming foods such as oranges, mangoes, broccoli, peppers, and sweet potatoes. You can also take a vitamin C supplement to ensure that you get your daily value. Crush up vitamin C pills and mix with a little bit of water to create a paste. Rub it directly on the affected area and allow it to dry before removing gently with water. Bilberry extract contains anthocyanosides, potent antioxidants that can reduce the appearance of a bruise by stabilizing the collagen and strengthening capillaries. You can find bilberry extract in pill form at most health food stores. Parsley may contain anti-inflammatory properties that can help a bruise disappear quicker. Just like parsley, ginger has anti-inflammatory properties and acts as a good support for your immune system. Chop up ginger and steep it in hot water for a few minutes before drinking. You can also take ginger capsules or crush up ginger and rub it directly on the bruise. Rub the mixture over the bruised area and allow it to sit for several hours. Simply wipe it off with a tissue when necessary. Apply once per day until the bruise disappears. Grind comfrey root and add a little bit of water to create a paste or soak a cotton ball in comfrey root tea. Apply the paste or the cotton ball to the affected area once per day until the bruise is gone. Witch hazel can speed up the healing process and is thought to reduce inflammation. Apply the oil and allow it to sit on the affected area for several hours. Repeat at least once per day until...

Article in English: Mix water into sand bit by bit, until it is damp but firm. It should stick together enough to hold shapes. You can purchase sand at a hardware store or home improvement store. Press your fingers and hand into the sand in the hand shape of your choice. Carefully pull your hand out again, without making any extra holes. You should be left with a hollow in the sand that holds the shape of your hand. Tie a candle wick or braided cotton string onto a dowel, and lay the dowel over the bucket. Adjust the wick so it hangs down into the hollow left by your hand. If you want the candle to burn with the fingers pointing upward, the candle wick needs to touch the bottom of the hole. Follow the instructions above to melt the wax. As soon as it has melted completely, carefully pour the wax into the hollow left by the sand. Wear gloves when pouring hot wax. Depending on the type of wax and the size of your hand, this can take anywhere from 2 to 8 hours, but leaving it overnight is a good idea just in case. Once the wax is set, you can dig out the sand around it, or place a plastic bag over the mouth of the bucket and slowly tip the whole thing over. You may need to trim the wax hand if it's seeped out of the original hollow, or scrape it slightly to uncover the wick. Once that's done, your hand candle is complete.

Article in English: Mix well until evenly distributed. The bowl should be able to hold a minimum of 4 cups (1L), even though this capacity is nearly twice as much as needed to hold the ingredients at room temperature. The extra space will help prevent any overflow from escaping into the microwave as the mixture heats up. Set the microwave to 50-percent power and place the sugar mixture inside. Cook uncovered for 30 to 40 seconds, or until the sugar starts to melt.  The sugar should not be completely melted at this point. If you use molasses instead of sugar, note that the molasses should look notably thinner than it did before being heated. Place the ginger, garlic, and star anise in the hot mixture. Stir well until the new ingredients are evenly incorporated. Work carefully. The contents of the dish will be hot at this point and may cause a mild burn if they splash onto your bare skin. Return the bowl to the microwave and the mixture for another 10 to 20 seconds on medium (50-percent) power. After this second round, the sauce should look notably thin and there should no longer be any visible chunks of sugar remaining. There may, however, be individual granules of sugar floating around in the syrup. Remove the dish and stir it well using a spoon or whisk. Continue stirring until all of the sugar is completely dissolved.  All of the sugar should be dissolved. This includes both large clumps and any individual granules. If the sugar is not fully dissolved after you mix it for 60 to 90 seconds, return the dish to the microwave and cook it for another 10 to 20 seconds at medium power before stirring it again. Since the syrup never quite boils when you use a microwave, the finished kecap manis will not be as thick when prepared using this method. The taste will remain accurate, however, and the sauce will thicken slightly as it stands.

Article in English: Mix ¾ cup baking soda, ¼ cup hydrogen peroxide, and 1 tablespoon dish soap. This highly effective paste cleans the grout in three ways:  The baking soda works as a natural abrasive to scrub the grout. The hydrogen peroxide chemically reacts with the baking soda releasing bleaching oxygen ions. The dish soap helps loosen dirt and remove grease. NOTE: The bleaching action of the chemical reaction may affect colored grout. Test a hidden corner before cleaning the entire floor. A toothbrush or a nylon scrub brush work well. Be sure to apply the paste to the grout between all tiles and around the edges for a uniform clean look. You may see a bubbling reaction as the baking soda and hydrogen peroxide interact. Give the paste time to work its way into the grout to fully remove any stains. Pour a small amount of water directly onto the tile floor to rinse the solution off the grout. Use caution as wet tiled floors can be very slippery. Clean the remaining paste out of the grout by gently scrubbing the floor with a towel. This can be done by standing on a towel and shuffling the towel across the floor with both feet or by crawling and scrubbing as you go. Ensure that no soap or residue is left behind by thoroughly mopping the floor with a cotton or sponge mop. Rinse the mop and change the water often to get achieve a clean finish.

Article in English: Mixed numbers are part whole number and part fraction, such as 24/5.  There are two steps to finding the reciprocal of a mixed number, explained below. . Remember, the number 1 can always be written as (number)/(the same number), and fractions with the same denominator (lower number) can be added together. Here's an example with 24/5:  24/5  = 1 + 1 + 4/5  = 5/5 + 5/5 + 4/5  = (5+5+4)/5  = 14/5. Once the number is written entirely as a fraction, you can find the reciprocal just like you would with any fraction: by flipping it. In the example above, the reciprocal of 14/5 is 5/14.

Article in English: Mixing a tablespoon of chia seeds with ¼ cup of water will provide about the equivalent of a single egg or quarter cup of oil for a recipe. Most recipes can tolerate about a 25% substitution of chia seeds for eggs or oil without a noticeable alteration in flavor. This technique can also help stretch eggs for omelets and soufflés. Just prepare about a quarter of your egg needs by mixing in chia seeds and milk into the beaten eggs about 10 minutes before cooking them. Because chia seeds form a gel in liquid, they can be added to soups, stews, sauces, and marinades to help thicken the liquid in place of corn starch or flour.  Chia seeds can also be blended into juice smoothies to add the thicker texture normally provided by whole fruits or yogurt. If you have accidentally added too much liquid to a recipe, including baked goods, adding chia seeds can thicken the dough by absorbing the excess liquid. Meatballs and meatloaf can be held together with chia seeds and a bit of water once mixed with the ground meat. Jellies, jams, and compotes can also benefit from the gel properties of chia seeds. Because chia seeds firm when mixed with liquid, ground seeds and flavorful liquids help form a gel that can give the consistency of porridge when hot or pudding when cold. For dessert-like chia mixtures, mix the seeds with sweetened or flavored milks or juices. For breakfast-like chia mixtures, stir the seeds into hot milk or water and then flavor to your preferences with brown sugar, cinnamon, or other breakfast toppings.

Article in English: Mixing up these words is one of the most common and easily-fixable usage errors in English. Since there is nothing that stands out more quickly than writing "You're not coming to the dance, are you?" it's important to clear up the difference and never make this mistake again.   Your is used to mean "something you own." Saying "Is that your cantaloupe?" or "Where is your pocketknife?" are appropriate uses of "your." You can always sound it out and try substituting "you are" for "your" in a sentence. If "you are" would make sense, then you should use the other form "you're."  You're is a contraction of the words "you" and "are," and it's used as a replacement for those words in a sentence. "You are an excellent tennis player" can be written "You're an excellent tennis player." If "you" and "your" is a solid first place mistake, misusing these words is a close second. It's also a common spell-check mistake, because spell-checkers won't suggest the right version of the word, necessarily, if you make a typo. It can be confusing, but the difference will be clear once you've memorized the usage rule.   Their means "belongs to them." Appropriate uses would include "Their balloon popped quickly" or "Have you not seen their baby?" The word is only used in this context and for no other reason than to mean "more than one owner."  They're is a contraction of the words "they" and "are," and should be used to replace those words in a sentence. "They are very much in love" could be written "They're very much in love." Despite the fact that a contraction is used, this word does not imply ownership.  There refers to locations and all other uses. "Place the apple over there" or "There is nothing more boring than math" are appropriate uses of "there." This is a slightly confusing rule because it goes against the basic rule for apostrophes, but this is just an example of a contradiction in contractions. Quick rule: Substitute the words "it" and "is" to sentences with an "its" or an "it's." If the words make sense in that...

Article in English: Mnemonic devices, flashcards, and other memorization techniques are great for multiple choice test prep. If you're in a study group, be sure to quiz each other, and try making practice tests for each other. When you take the test, make sure to read the question clearly and try to eliminate at least half of the available answer options. If your test will include short or long essay questions, make sure you can answer the question without adding any extra fluff. Being direct is especially important for short essays, which typically require you to provide just a few sentences and often deal with definitions.  When studying, refer to your list of key terms and concepts, and make sure you can concisely define them. Have someone quiz you on your flashcards. Try to get to the point that you can give a complete but brief answer without asking for any hints. Look over your syllabus or textbook for your unit's key points. Those theses, or main ideas, are the best way to predict what a long essay question will ask. Understand the unit's main concepts, then use the facts and figures you've memorized to back up those key points. Remember there's no "U" in history: leave personal opinions out of essays! A long essay can take up a major proportion of the test grade, so do your best to be sure you're answering the essay question the right way. When it's time to take the test, take a moment to understand what a long essay is asking you to do. Look for words like analyze or compare and contrast, then plan your essay accordingly. For example, historians disagree about the degree to which feudalism in the Late Middle Ages set the stage for the Wars of the Roses. Your exam could include an essay asking you to defend one position and explain why it’s a more accurate interpretation.

Article in English: Mobil One and other oil manufacturers recommend checking engine oil levels before driving your vehicle, when the oil is still cold. However, some manufacturers will recommend checking the oil after you've warmed up the engine, so check your owner's manual to find the specific recommendations for your vehicle. You want the oil to be in the oil pan, not in the engine as it will be while you're driving. Immediately after driving, the oil level will appear lower, making it easier to overfill the oil. If you want to check the oil and have been driving the vehicle, wait five or ten minutes to let it settle into the oil pan before checking it.  In very cold weather, it may be appropriate to drive the car around a bit first to get the oil loosened up and less viscous before checking it. Let the engine run for a few minutes, then let it cool down for five before you check it. Many people disagree about whether or not the oil should be checked hot or cold. Some manufacturers recommend checking engine oil warm, and it's perfectly fine to do so as long as you're looking at the right line. There will appear to be "less" oil on the gauge when the oil is colder, but the oil will thin out as the vehicle runs up to normal operating temperature. Synthetic oil expands more when it is hot than "regular" oil does, so it may be best to check your oil cold if you use synthetic oil. Talk to your mechanic if you aren't sure. To get an accurate reading, you'll also need to make sure the oil isn't sloshed to one side of the pan, which can give you a slightly inaccurate reading. Try to find a relatively flat surface on which to park and check your oil. When you check your oil, it's important that you have a couple of paper towels or some other cloth that you can use to wipe it off and check the consistency of the oil. Paper towels usually work best, because it gives you a nice white backdrop contrast to examine the color. Also a great way to keep your hands clean.

Article in English: Moccasins are the best option, but a simple flat, brown slip-on shoe would coordinate with the look. Basic brown suede boots would also work as long as they have a flat sole. Fur-lined or fringed boots can add some flair to your costume.  If you do not expect to walk through mud puddles, you can also wear moccasin-style slippers. Simple brown sandals could also work as long as they are not embellished with other decorations. Start with a brown cloth headband that wraps around the head rather than over it. Use a hot glue gun to attach one to three feathers to the inside of the headband. Position them so they are at the side of the head and behind the ear.  If you cannot find a brown wrap-around headband, cut a strip of stretchy brown fabric that is long enough to fit around the wearer's head and add an extra 1-inch (2.5-cm) to the length. Loop the strip of fabric around to create a band, using fabric glue or hot glue to secure the extra 1-inch (2.5-cm) of fabric over the other end of the band. If you want to give your headband extra flair, decorate it with wooden beads, colorful seed beads, or craft paint. If you want to add a little extra shape to your tunic, tie a braided leather sash around the wearer's waist. If you can’t find a sash or belt without a buckle, cut a strip of brown leather, canvas, or brown rope that is long enough to wrap around the waist. Make sure to cut enough extra material so you can tie the belt into a loose bow at the front of the costume. A fringed leather belt can add an attractive touch to your costume too.

Article in English: Modeling classes are a great way to make industry connections, learn about the business and get feedback on your look and pictures. In a modeling class, you’ll learn how to pose, how to walk and how to brand yourself effectively in order to secure the most work.  Make sure to research the class before signing up. Some modeling classes are scams and should be avoided. You don’t need to take a class to be a successful model, but it’s a good way to get started. Actors and singers practice in front of the mirror and models should do the same. It’s important to be able to see how your face looks when you’re executing different facial expressions. Do your mirror work every day for five minutes and you’ll find yourself with much more control over your facial muscles and expressions.  Practice smiling without squinting your eyes or showing too much gum. Focus each practice session on perfecting one facial expression. Every model should have ten distinct poses that they can whip out on command. Practice in front of a mirror until you have ten separate poses, then work on transitioning from one pose to another.  Everyone’s body is different, so focus on finding poses that highlight your body’s best features, while disguising your flaws. Look in magazines to find inspiration for new poses. Make sure you have a pose that makes you look great while wearing a swimsuit or lingerie. As a model, your body is your most important asset, so it’s important to keep it in tip-top shape. Create an exercise regimen that you like so you’ll be more likely to want to keep up with it.  Models do everything from yoga to spin classes. There’s no right way to stay in shape, so focus on doing work outs that you enjoy. Try to work out no less than four times a week. Models maintain very hectic schedules and spend a lot of time traveling, so eating right is essential. Focus on getting lots of proteins, like egg-whites, Greek yogurt or protein shakes.  Drink water constantly to help with energy and to keep your skin clear. Supplement your diet...

Article in English: Models have the benefit of makeup artists, hair stylists and designer clothing to help them look good. Makeup artists spend hours applying makeup to models' faces, and sometimes even their bodies, before fashion shows. Instead of aiming for perfection, aim for good health. Your natural beauty will be more radiant if you take good care of yourself. Being healthy is much more important than being thin. If you are concerned about your weight, check with your doctor to find out your proper weight range. Follow your doctor’s recommendations to get to that healthy weight range and stay within it. Models’ diets vary widely and some of them are not healthy at all, so try not to focus on eating exactly like some models do. Instead, focus on making your diet as healthy as possible.  Begin your day with a healthy breakfast. Eggs, whole grain bread, fruit, oatmeal and yogurt are some of the many options that make up a great breakfast. Eat a variety of foods, especially fruits and vegetables. To get the nutrients that you need to be healthy, eat plenty of fruits and veggies. Incorporate at least one serving of fruit or vegetables into each meal. Choose fruits and vegetables as snacks between meals as well.  Choose lean proteins. Protein is important for good health, but you should choose proteins that will provide you with the most health benefits. Avoid fattier meats, such as pork and beef. Opt for leaner options instead, such as turkey and fish. Fish is a great choice because it also contains heart-healthy omega-3s.  Choose whole grains. Steer clear of highly processed foods, such as white rice, white flour, white pasta and white bread. Instead, choose whole grain breads, whole wheat pastas, brown rice and whole wheat flour. Being well-hydrated is not only important for good health, it will also help to give your skin a glowing look. The amount of water that you need to drink each day is based on how much you weigh. You should drink half an ounce to an ounce of water per pound, every day. If you weigh 160 pounds, you...

Article in English: Moderate exercise is anything that makes you sweat after about 10 minutes and makes you breathe heavily, but doesn’t wind you. This can include walking, swimming, or jogging. You can split up your activity time or do it all at once, depending on your schedule.  Remember to drink water as you exercise to stay hydrated. You can lose weight faster by ramping up your moderate activity to 300 minutes per week.  While doing an exercise routine won’t necessarily boost your metabolism, it will help you lose weight.

Article in English: Modern cars that are controlled by electronic ignitions don't need to have their timing adjusted, but old-style 4-stroke engines require that the timing be adjusted periodically to optimize the efficiency of the engine, making sure that the spark fires at the appropriate moment in the ignition cycle. If you hear telltale signs of the timing of your car not being quite right, such as pinging, backfiring, or if the car runs too rich or too lean, you will need to either take it to a mechanic or adjust the timing yourself. The four "strokes" in the 4-cycle engine refer to the process of intake, compression, power, and exhaust. The timing of the ignition refers to the point between the compression and the power strokes at which the spark plug fires, creating the combustion that results in your horsepower, forcing the piston down into the cylinder. When the piston comes up during the compression stroke, just before the piston gets to the top of its compression stroke (which is called "top dead center"),  the spark plug should fire. Over time, this tends to get misaligned somewhat, resulting in a less-than-optimum spark plug firing time. The distance before the "top dead" center is the ignition timing, and it's represented by a row of graded numbers on the balancer or flywheel through an access hole. Look for the ruler-style row of numbers on the front of the engine's harmonic balancer (or flywheel), which should have numbers above and below zero. Typically, when your car comes from the manufacturer, ignition base idle timing is set to a manufacture specification before top dead center. The timing advances as the engine's speed accelerates, however, resulting in a variable that will need to be periodically adjusted using a timing light. Numbers to the left of zero on the timing tape refer to the piston as it travels down, while numbers to the right of zero refer to the piston's upward motion. Moving the wheel right is called "advancing" the timing, while moving the wheel left is "moving back" the timing.

Article in English: Modern metal cans have a series of ridges and grooves forming a ring around the center of the can. These are weak points, and can be used to rip apart the can at that location. Tear off the label if necessary to get a better look. This method will not work for small cans without grooves. If you have strong hands, you can grip the can on each end, then push your fingers down into the grooves. Otherwise, place the can on the ground and push down against the grooves using the heel of your hand. Keep pressing on the corners of the dent, until the dent is as wide as you can make it. Once the dent crosses, or nearly crosses, the entire width of the can when viewed from above, continue on to the next step. Rotate the can 180 degrees, so the dent is now facing downward. Repeat the same denting process on the opposite side, again pushing as hard as you can. You should now have two dents, on opposite sides of the can cylinder. Hold the can horizontally, then place the heel of each hand on each of the flat, circular lids. Position them so the heel is at the top of the flat area, near the rim, not in the center. Interlock your fingers together over the dented surface, then squeeze the two ends of the can together by pushing with your hands. Repeat for the other dent. If this does not work, try placing the can's flat surface on the ground, and pressing down on it with your hand or knee. Since you have literally ripped the center of the can to shreds, small metal pieces may have ended up in your food. Watch carefully for these so you can remove them before you eat, or throw away the food around the outer edge of the can. Spooning the food into another container without a jagged metal edge is recommended.

Article in English: Modern saints in Roman Catholicism are all Catholic themselves, so if you have not yet been baptized and confirmed into the church, get on that right away. If you have been living a life of sin so far, don't worry: many saints were sinners who underwent radical, life-changes when they joined the church. It's tricky, but you can still make sainthood if you have a miraculous conversion and then turn away from your debasements to take up a life of virtue. There are lots of different ways to do this, from comforting the sick and dying to spreading the word of God, from fighting against poverty and oppression to devoting your life to scholarly study. Whatever you do, it has to be virtuous, selfless and memorable. Don't try explicitly to become a saint—just focus on being the best, most compassionate Christian you can be. Be humble and work to serve God and make a positive difference in the lives of others.  Joining the church as a priest or nun is a good start, but not required. The Vatican works hard to identify laypeople who are candidates for sainthood. Think big! Some saints are honored for extraordinary service to a small group of people or local community, but your exemplary life is more likely to be recognized if you have a bigger, more globally noticeable impact. Miracles are extraordinary events not normally attainable through human works, and thus attributed to the intervention of a divine and supernatural power. Unexplainable healing of the incurably sick, wounded or dying is a classic, as is interceding to miraculously stop or rescue people from an impending disaster. Really, however, a miracle can be any inexplicable but benevolent phenomenon you can conjure up. Just remember, you aren't really performing these miracles: God is performing them through you. You don't technically have to perform these miracles while alive—you could intercede from heaven to make your miracles happen instead. However it isn't as guaranteed that you will be recognized for the miracles you perform after your death, so it...

Article in English: Modern slings are much more comfortable, ergonomic, and protective than what most individuals can craft. However, arm injuries can happen and you may have to improvise. If you are injured in the wilderness while on a camping trip, if may be impossible to obtain cloth to make the sling above. It is certainly better than no sling at all. Use a sweater, sweatshirt, button-up shirt, or other long-sleeved garment. Tie the garment's sleeves behind your head and carefully insert your injured arm through the loop formed. Allow the clothing material to support the weight of your arm somewhere along the forearm or wrist - wherever is comfortable.  Try to adjust the length of the garment's sleeves that your knot allows to hang so that your arm can hang at a roughly 90 degree angle (horizontal to the ground). If you have safety pins handy, you may want to try "closing" the fabric of the long-sleeved garment around your elbow as a makeshift backstop for your sling as described in the method above. One piece of clothing seemingly tailor-made for improvised slings is the belt, due it having the built-in ability to form a loop with an adjustable size. Secure the belt buckle behind your neck and slip your arm through the loop formed by the rest of the belt. Allow your arm's weight to be supported by the belt along the forearm or wrist. Tie or fasten the belt behind your neck so that your arm is supported at a 90 degree angle. The belt's buckle can be uncomfortable against the back of the neck, so may want to shift the belt so that the buckle is in the length of belt stretching between your arm and neck. You can also put padding between the belt and your neck for greater comfort. If you're injured in an office setting or while wearing formal wear, a necktie can suffice as a makeshift sling until a real one is available. As with the methods above, simply tie the necktie behind in a simple knot your neck and pass your arm through the loop formed. Adjust the positioning and length of your makeshift sling so that your arm hangs at...

Article in English: Modes are typically taken from sets of statistical data points or lists of numerical values. Thus, to find a mode, you'll need a data set to find it for. It's difficult to do mode calculations mentally for all but the smallest of datasets, so, in most cases, it's wise to begin by writing (or typing) your data set out. If you're working with paper and a pencil, simply writing the values of your data set in sequence will suffice, while if you're using a computer, you may want to use a spreadsheet program to streamline the process. The process of finding a data set's mode is easier to understand by following along with an example problem. In this section, let's use this set of values for the purposes of our example:. In the next few steps, we'll find the mode of this set. Next, it's often a wise idea to sort the values of your data set so that they're in ascending order. Though this isn't strictly required, it makes the process of finding the mode easier because it groups identical values next to each other. For large data sets, it can be practically a necessity, as sorting through long lists of values and keeping mental tallies of how many times each number appears in the list is difficult and can lead to mistakes.  If you're working with paper and a pencil, re-writing can save time in the long run. Scan the set of numbers for the lowest number and, when you find it, cross it off in the first data set and re-write it in your new data set. Repeat for the second-lowest number, third-lowest, and so on, being sure to write each number as many times as it occurs in the original data set. With a computer your options are more extensive - for instance, most spreadsheet programs will have the option to re-order lists of values from least to greatest with just a few clicks. In our example, after re-ordering, the new list of values should read:. Next, count the number of times that each number in the set appears. Look for the value that occurs most commonly in the data set. For relatively small data sets with points...

Article in English: Moisten the affected area with 3% hydrogen peroxide and allow the stain to sit for about 30 seconds. Keep careful track of time, allowing the peroxide to sit for too long could do damage to your fabric. Hydrogen peroxide, while highly effective at cleaning blood stains, should be used as a last resort. This substance has bleaching properties, and can weaken the fabric of your upholstery or, in some cases, discolor it. Test a small hidden area before using hydrogen peroxide. If any stain remains after you have blotted the area clean, you can repeat the process, reapplying the peroxide and blotting it until the blood stain is gone. A clean cloth, thoroughly moistened with cold water, should be used to rinse the remaining solution from the stained area. Be sure to rinse the area well; leaving behind peroxide may discolor or damage your upholstery. By blotting the rinsed area with a clean, dry towel, you can pull out excess moisture until only a damp spot remains, which you can allow to air dry.

Article in English: Moisture in the air helps to keep your nasal passages moist, and allows the mucus to move freely and relieve the pressure. Breathing dry air can cause mucus to thicken, and cause the sinuses to become irritated. Humidifiers are available in many sizes and with different features. Basic humidifiers are available as either cool-mist or warm-mist. Choose a humidifier that best meets your needs, and your budget. A humidifier increases the moisture in the air to help treat, and prevent, dry nasal passages that can lead to sinus pressure and congestion.  Cool-mist humidifiers usually have a filter that needs attention every few months to avoid fungal growth. Many cool mist varieties can produce enough moisture for an entire home, and may be a safer option if you have children.  Warm-mist humidifiers use a heating element that creates steam. An advantage to warm-mist humidifiers is that they kill bacteria and fungi since steam is produced in the process of adding moisture to the air. Place a small pot, partially filled with water, on a burner on your stove, and let it simmer. This is a great way to add moisture to the air, but requires added attention and a strong focus on safety. Pay attention to safety measures with this method to avoid damage and possible injury. Very carefully, place a towel over your head and position yourself above the simmering water. Then breathe in the warm and moisture-filled air to help relieve your sinus pressure. Breathing steam is an effective method of providing moisture to your sinuses, but the risk of injury may warrant trying other methods first. This requires serious attention to safety measures to avoid injury. Safely placing a heat-safe container near a radiator or other source of heat causes the water to evaporate, increases the humidity, and adds moisture to the air. The container does not need to be placed directly on top of the heat source, but close enough to allow the water to evaporate. Consider using a damp towel as your water source, and place the towel over a heat...

Article in English: Moisture promotes the growth of bacteria, which are the root cause of most foot odor, so if you are prone to foot odor you should let your feet "air out" as often as possible.  Going barefoot whenever it is safe and appropriate to do so will help your feet remain dry. Socks made from natural fibers like cotton or wool are more breathable than most synthetic materials. Wearing more breathable socks will help your feet remain dry, and free from odor. Sprinkling a natural deodorizer like talcum powder or baking soda on your feet before putting your socks and shoes on will help them remain dry throughout the day. This will keep the growth of odor-causing bacteria on your feet in check by killing already present bacteria, and removing dirt and dead skin which can promote their growth. Pay special attention to the gaps between your toes, and be sure to thoroughly dry your feet after washing. Fragrant essential oils, like tea tree and lavender oils, not only provide a pleasant scent to mask foot odor, they also contain natural disinfectants which can slow the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Dissolve half a cup of kosher salt in a liter (about 4 cups) of warm water in a basin or bucket large enough for you to comfortably rest both feet in, and allow your feet to soak in the solution for 15 minutes, then allow them to air dry. Salt is an effective disinfectant, and the salt which remains on your feet after they have air-dried will help keep your feet dry and free from bacteria.  Epsom salt is a popular alternative to kosher salt, and can be prepared in the same way. Simply substitute 1/4 cup of epsom salt for the 1/2 cup of kosher salt. You can soak your feet in this manner as often as you like, even daily. If the skin on your feet becomes irritated or over-dry, reduce the frequency of the salt soaks, or use a different kind of soak. Other natural alternatives for soaking include lemon juice (use about half a lemon's worth per liter of water), white or apple cider vinegar (about 1/4 cup per liter) or baking soda (2...

Article in English: Moisture under the breasts can lead to skin infections and rashes. Work to keep the underside of your breasts dry to prevent rashes.  Clean and dry the skin under your breast after workouts.  Make sure to dry underneath your breasts on occasion on hot days when you're sweating a lot. You may want to use a fan to dry under your breasts. It's possible a certain product you're using may be contributing to a skin rash. If you've been using a new soap, shampoo, lotion, fabric detergent, or other product that has contact with your skin cease use. See if symptoms clear up. If they do, avoid that product in the future. A bra that's too big or too small could contribute to skin irritation that causes rashes on the breast. Buy bras made out of cotton that use high-grade elastic materials. You should not buy bras made out of synthetic fabrics, as these can irritate the skin. If you're unsure of your bra size, go to your local department store and ask for a fitting. Avoid underwires if possible, or make sure they aren't poking or irritating your skin. Cotton fabrics can help reduce moisture under the breasts. It's more breathable than other fabrics options and more readily absorbs moisture. Aim for clothing made out of 100% cotton fabrics.

Article in English: Moisturize your skin with a daily moisturizer or body butter to smooth your complexion. Make sure your hands and nails are perfectly groomed, too, and your toe and fingernails are properly trimmed. It doesn't matter if you're pale and freckly or dark and caramel-y, just exude radiance. Wash your face every day and drink 6-8 cups of water every day for that natural glow. Water is just about the best thing you can do for your hair, skin, and nails! Having bad hygiene is the quickest way to get people to not give you a second look. So every day, make sure your breath is as fresh as the Prince of Bel-Air by brushing your teeth, flossing and using mouthwash, your body is like a field of daisies, and your hair smells just as sweet. In other words, use deodorant and shampoo on the regular. Your friends will appreciate it, too. Unfortunately, we humans generally judge books by their covers. So even if you're this perfect, overachieving goddess, you won't be the object of others' envy if you smell like a baby's bottom. And you won't want to be around you either! You never know who you might run into at the grocery store! Make sure your hair is clean and styled at all times. Experiment with finding ways to deal with those bad hair days (we all have them) and perfect the pajama-chic look. Those girls that look good when they wake up in the morning? Like that. That being said, keep it natural. Definitely don't look like you're going to the prom everywhere you go -- that'll raise a few eyebrows and not in a good way. Keep your make-up natural and your hair styled, but not like it took you hours. You have too many other things to do and friends to hang out with! and know your style. Work it! Don't care about what other people are wearing -- just do you. Be eccentric and yourself, all the while looking fashionable and inspiring others. Whether you're the sundress type or the flannel shirt and jeans type, if you rock it, it'll work. At the end of the day, the clothes that look good on you are the clothes you like (apart from...

Article in English: Moisturizers help your skin to stay soft and hydrated, reducing discomfort and possibly preventing stretch marks from occurring. Avoid alcohol-based products, which will dry out your skin. Look for creams that contain vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, and onion extract, which may promote skin healing. Maintain a balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables. Your skin needs vitamins and minerals to stay healthy. Stay hydrated by drinking water and avoiding diuretics like coffee. Hydration will promote skin elasticity and may prevent stretch marks. If your stretch marks are especially severe, you may want to see a doctor about possible treatments and to rule out any medical problems that may be causing them. Tretinoin cream, also known as Retin-A, is sometimes prescribed for new stretch marks to promote healing through an increase in collagen production. This drug should not be used by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, as it may cause birth defects or be harmful to a newborn.

Article in English: Moisturizers, in general, are great for your skin.  When you apply a moisturizer to your face, it plumps up the skin and helps reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.  It also protects the skin on your face from the various effects of weather, like heat and wind.  And finally, and possibly most importantly, moisturizer increases the water content of your skin in order to keep it hydrated.  Some moisturizers also offer sunscreen protection through SPF content.  SPF, or Sun Protection Factor, indicates how well the screen will shield you from harmful ultraviolet radiation.  The SPF number gives a rough sense of how long it will take for your skin to burn in the sun.  If you use both a daytime and nighttime moisturizer, it's normally the daytime version that includes SPF.  Since the SPF is contained within the moisturizer, the instructions for applying it are the same as for non-SPF moisturizer. SPF moisturizer should be used on your face all year round. Your skin can be exposed and damaged by the sun at any time of year (and in any kind of weather, sunny or not). Over time, exposure to the sun can damage the skin and increase your risk of skin cancer. Before applying moisturizer you should always wash your face.  A good skin care routine would have you wash your face twice a day.  Once in the morning, and once in the evening (before bed).  Apply your facial moisturizer after you've rinsed and patted your face with a towel, before your skin completely dries.  Apply any facial treatments you use before the moisturizer, too. This will let them absorb properly. When washing the face, use lukewarm to warm water. Hot water will dry your skin. Every type of moisturizer will come with its own instructions on how much of the product should be used on your face at a time.  Thinner moisturizers may dry into the skin faster and require a larger amount to be used.  Really thick moisturizers (or creams) may allow for a lot of coverage for only a small dollop of the product.  Facial moisturizer also tends to come in...

Article in English: Moisturizing before and after you shave will help prevent nicks and cuts from occurring in the first place. Taking a warm shower before you shave or washing the area you are shaving with hot water for a few minutes prior to shaving will help keep the razor from dragging on your skin. This reduces the risk of nicks and cuts.  This technique is called wet shaving. When you wet shave, use a gentle soap that won’t strip away your skin’s oils or dry out the skin, which makes shaving even more difficult. Replacing your razor blade regularly will prevent the nicks and cuts that come from shaving with a dull razor. Changing your blade often will also prevent razor bumps and redness, and reduce the growth of bacteria that might lead to infections.   Change your blades as soon they seem dull. When the razor drags on your skin or when it feels uncomfortable to shave, this is a good indicator you need to change the blade. Changing your razor after 5 to 10 shaves is one recommended timeline, but it depends on how often you use your razor.  Gillette recently revealed that their razor cartridges are designed to last for five weeks. Although it might be tempting to try and save money and time, shaving dry or without gel or cream increases the likelihood of nicks and cuts. Use shaving gel or shaving cream so the razor will glide smoothly over your skin. Hair conditioner also works well as a shave gel or cream, and can be less expensive depending on the brand. Disposable razors with a single blade, while often more affordable, tend to drag on the skin, leading to nasty nicks and cuts. For a smoother shave, opt for a razor with more blades. Most of us don’t bother to clean or dry our razor blade after using, but research suggests this increases longevity, and prevents the blade from getting dull, which usually results in bad cuts and nicks. Try these tricks to keep your razor clean and dry:  Rinse your razor after use in clean, hot water. On a dry towel or a pair of jeans, wipe the razor in the opposite direction from shaving....
