Article in English: After you’ve checked yourself and found a way to keep yourself afloat, see if you can offer assistance to other survivors who may need help. Other survivors could be in serious distress and need immediate help.  Assist others who may be in shock. Talk to them, tell them things will be okay, and let them know you are there to help them. Treat people who have concussions. After you’ve adjusted to your new status, you need to talk to everyone in your group and get them organized. Survivors in your group may have knowledge, expertise, or ideas about how to increase your survival chances and get rescued. Stay together. Your chances of surviving and being rescued are a lot higher if your group is organized and stays together. After you and other survivors have found a way to stay afloat, start organizing and gathering supplies. Ultimately, the more supplies you have and the better you manage them, the longer you’ll be able to survive until you are rescued. Pay special attention to:  Fresh water. Store and ration your fresh water as well as you can. Food. Signal flares and other items you could signal rescuers with.

Article in English: After you’ve cleared your space, consider re-populating it with a few choice, meaningful pieces from home. Make sure you have room for a few items and that any picture frames or toys from home won’t add more clutter to your space. When dressing up your cubicle sanctuary, remember that less is always more but a homely touch will increase your sense of belonging. Here are some sanctuary-inducing additions to your space: Family and pet photos. One of the best ways to add warmth and personality to your cube is to place a few family and pet photos in your area. Consider adding your favorite photo next to your computer or workstation and then a few smaller framed photos on shelves. It'll cheer you to see these faces regularly and family members and pets always make great talking points with coworkers. If you have room, a nice green plant can remove the sterility from a cubicle environment. Select a plant that requires very little maintenance or go for a realistic silk plant. You'll also need a mist spray bottle for regular watering. Is the office chair uncomfortable or perhaps it feels cold in the morning? Add a small throw blanket or pillow from home to make your space more inviting. Choose a color that makes you feel peaceful or energized. Images of your favorite vacation spots, outdoor areas and beautiful scenes can brighten up a cubicle space and remind you to plan that next vacation! Inspirational or motivational posters can create a sense of harmony too. Find a phrase or an image with a quote that brightens your day and let everyone else enjoy it too by pinning it up. A nice phrase is one from Dr. Jill Bolt Taylor that requests: "Please take responsibility for the energy you bring into this place." And, of course, you can't go past the perennial phrase "Think Outside the Box."

Article in English: After you’ve communicated, come to an agreement, and worked out any confusion, you need to abide by the understanding you’ve both come to. This will prevent any awkward situations.  Try to internalize what your friend said in your prior conversations. If you’ve both agreed to just “be friends,” then you should both act as friends would. If you still hold feelings for your friend, resist the temptation to act on them. Remember, you both came to an agreement to be friends. If you both wanted to enter a relationship, you would have agreed to do so. Remember that the kiss was a one-time thing. Your goal is to be friends. Acting normal is key to maintaining your friendship. If you act awkward or treat your friend differently, it could endanger your relationship.  There is no need to act all nervous afterwards or avoid the other person. It happened normally, so act normally. If you’re nervous or feel awkward around your friend, talk to your friend about it. Being nervous or feeling awkward after a kiss is normal. Try taking a few deep breaths and remind yourself that the nervousness or awkwardness will fade with time. Perhaps the most important thing you need to do to stay friends is to do just that — stay friends. If you stay friends, and try to act the way you did before the kiss, your chances of maintaining the friendship are relatively high.  Continue to talk to your friend as this includes confiding and sharing your feelings and thoughts as you did before Continue to do things together. You should try to continue doing the activities you did together before the kiss. Continue to view each other as friends. If you don’t view the person as a friend anymore, there will be no way to stay friends.

Article in English: After you’ve decided how and when to reply, you’ll need to draft your letter. You’ll do so by beginning with the subject line. The subject line should include your acceptance or decline of the invitation and reflect the tone of the event.  For formal events, you should use a formal tone. For example, write “Roger and Anne Decline Your Invitation for the Ball and Banquet on May 11.” For informal events, like your neighbor’s BBQ, you can write “Unable to make it to your BBQ on the 11th.” Addressing the letter properly is important because it sets the tone of your response. In addition, by using an appropriate salutation, you’ll give the person who invited you to the event an idea of how you view them.  Choose salutations that might include “Dear,” “To,” or “My good friend,” An informal event requires a simple addressing to the person who emailed you. For example, “Dear John and Marcy,”. The body of the message is perhaps the most important part of the email RSVP. It reflects the tone of the event and directly responds to the invitation. Some examples of how to accept or decline an invitation include:  A more informal event merits an informal reply, such as: “We really appreciate the invitation to your BBQ, Tom, but we’ll be out of town that day.” A formal event merits a more formal tone. For example: ”The Higginson family accepts your invitation to Josh and Belinda’s wedding on the 5th of November 2019.” Another example is: ”John and Sarah Appleby happily accept your invitation to Marta Rodriguez’s Quinceanera.” A formal decline might look like: “The Parker family will be unable to make it to Josh and Belinda’s wedding on the 5th of November, 2019.” After writing your message, you need to sign the RSVP email. Signing the email is more than a mere formality – it represents the type of relationship you have with the person. It also signals how you feel about the person.  Pick a formal salutation. For example, pick from “Sincerely yours,” “Yours truly,” “Best wishes,” or “Best regards.” Pick an informal salutation...

Article in English: After you’ve dried the majority of your engine, remove all plastic bags you used to protect sensitive parts of your engine. This will enable you to continue cleaning and proceed toward finishing the project.  Be diligent about removing all plastic and tape from the engine. If you leave anything, it could damage your engine. Wipe down plastic bags before removing them, just to be safe. After you’ve dried your engine off, go through and apply your favorite (car approved) protectants to vinyl and rubber surfaces in the engine. This way, your engine will not only look clean, but will have a new appearance and will be protected.  Protectants will help prolong the life of rubber and vinyl parts in your engine bay. Feel free to wax painted surfaces in the engine, but know that your wax will probably not last long because of the heat. As with degreaser, soap, and water, avoid applying protectants to sensitive areas that you covered with plastic. Now that you’ve removed all plastic and dried the engine, and applied protectants, it will be time to reattach the battery cables, reinsert the filters, and otherwise return your engine bay to the condition it was in before you began to wash it. This way, your car will run just the way it did before, but the engine bay will be cleaner.

Article in English: After you’ve finished straining out the seeds from the watermelon, pour the 14 cups (3.5 liters) of juice into a large pot. Add the granulated sugar to the pot, and heat until almost boiling. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Then remove the pot from the heat. Wait until the watermelon and sugar mixture cools to room temperature, then add the acid blend and the yeast nutrient. Stir with a whisk until they dissolve, which should take around thirty seconds. Carefully pour the watermelon juice into a 1 gallon (3.7 liters) carboy or another large fermentation container. Then cover the top of the container with a cloth and let it sit for 24 hours.  Fermentation containers include heavy-seal plastic bins, glass or plastic carboys, and stainless steel kegs and tanks. The most important aspect of a fermentation container is its ability to seal completely and keep out oxygen. Before the using the fermentation container and other fermentation equipment, sanitize them by soaking them in a mixture of water and bleach, with 1 tablespoon of bleach to each gallon of water, for at least twenty minutes. After the juice has sat for 24 hours, add the Champagne yeast by sprinkling it over the top of the juice. Then use an airtight lock to seal the fermentation container. Let the juice sit overnight.

Article in English: After you’ve parted ways, limit any chances of either of you reaching out. Return any items of his promptly to eliminate any reason to make contact down the road. Then, remove his contact info from your phone and delete him as a “friend” on social media. Make sure you make it a clean break. Don’t get sucked into talking with him again to make him feel better. This may convince him that he has a chance of getting back together with you. If you would like to remain friends, give him some time before bringing that up or approaching him about it. It's unreasonable to expect that right away, especially if he was blindsided by the breakup. It might also be a good idea to avoid places where he normally hangs out, at least for a while. If you and your ex continue to be on speaking terms, you should still tread carefully early on. Too much contact may make him think there's an opportunity to rekindle the romance. Keep any contact brief and to-the-point.  For instance, if you see him socially in a group, you might say "Hi" and then find a seat near some other friends to limit conversation opportunities. Make sure that you do not ask him about his personal life or tell him about yours during any interactions that you have with him. Just because you initiated the breakup doesn't mean you aren't hurting. Spend time with supportive friends and tell them how you're feeling. Vent if you need to! Family members may also serve as a source of support after your breakup.  For example, you could have a movie night with your best friends. Choose lighthearted or comedy films to keep things upbeat. Go to brunch with a parent or sibling. Vent if you need to, or just spend some quality time catching up. Ending a relationship can leave an empty hole in your everyday life where you once spent so much time with the other person. Switch things up by adding new activities to your schedule and doing a few things differently.  For instance, if you used to walk to class with your boyfriend, you might start walking with a new group of friends....

Article in English: After you’ve removed excess dirt and grass, you should pre-treat your grass stain for the best removal. Pretreat by dabbing a 50/50 mixture of warm water and white vinegar. Saturate the stain well to ensure deep penetration by the vinegar. Allow the watered down vinegar to sit for five minutes. Never use fruit vinegar for stain treatment. Only use plain white vinegar. After your vinegar solution has sat on the clothing item for five minutes, apply laundry detergent directly to the stain. If available, use a detergent that has bleach. Bleach contains enzymes which help break down grain stains. Using powder detergent? Try mixing a dash of water into the powder to make it paste-like, then spread over the stain. Once you’ve applied the detergent, massage the stain. You want to massage gently, as to not ruin the clothing, but firmly, to ensure you get deep into the stain. The longer you massage the more effective the treatment is likely to be. After massaging for several minutes, allow the detergent to sit. Once the stain has sat for 10-15 minutes, give it a rinse with cold water. Check to see if the stain has been removed. It should be significantly fainter, if not completely removed. If the stain isn’t banished, you can safely repeat the process with water, vinegar, and detergent until the garment is stain-free.

Article in English: After you’ve removed moisture and mold, and increased ventilation, you'll likely have a number of dead booklice bodies lying around. To clean them up, simply vacuum the entire house. Be sure to use nozzle and brush attachments to get into nooks and crannies in areas where booklice were living.  For a booklice infestation around books, remove the books from the shelves and vacuum the covers, bindings, and pages. If you don’t have a vacuum, dust furniture, shelves, and other areas, and then sweep the floors thoroughly. When all the books are off the shelves, clean the shelves with your favorite household cleaner. If you had booklice in the kitchen, remove all the food items from the cupboards and clean out the pantry with an all-purpose cleaner. Let cupboards, shelves, and pantries dry completely over several hours before returning items to their proper places. Paper products can mold easily, especially in high-humidity environments. To ensure that you’ve removed the entire booklice infestation and possible food sources, throw out mold-prone items that you don’t need and don’t use. Paper products include things like printer and writing paper, letters, books, old newspapers and magazines, and even boxes and cardboard.

Article in English: After you’ve stamped the first fruit or vegetable on the paper, stamp other produce over the canvas to create a scene or design that you like. You may want to have a piece of scrap paper on hand so you can test out the fruit and vegetables to see what shapes they make before pressing them on the paper. When you’re finished painting, you can use crayons, markers, and/or colored pencils to add fine details to the picture. When you've finished with your painting, set it aside to let it to dry completely before displaying it. It should take 1 to 2 hours, but placing in a sunny area can often help it dry more quickly.

Article in English: After you’ve written your whole first draft, you will still have a lot of work to do. Start by reading over the whole thing. Read very carefully, and use a highlighter to make a note of anything you want to fix or change.  Many writers suggest that printing out your work is the best way to edit. So, if you typed your book or story on a computer, print it out and use the paper copy to make your edits.  Reading your writing out loud will help you notice mistakes you might not see when you read it silently in your head. This is because you will be forcing yourself to read every sentence very carefully. Mark any mistakes in spelling and punctuation, and mark any problems you notice with sentences that might not sound right, or places you want to change or fix. Make sure your writing is consistent, meaning it stays the same throughout. For example, if you start writing in past tense (“He was”) and then moved to writing in present tense (“He is”), you will want to edit this to stick to one tense throughout. After you’ve gone through once and marked mistakes, fix and change everything you marked in your first draft. Then, go through a second time. Try to wait a few days between each draft to give yourself a set of new eyes the second time through. Try focusing on different parts of your book each time you edit. For example, maybe the first edit you focus on the dialogue, while the second edit focuses more on the description or plot. You can choose to do them yourself, or even ask a friend to help! Some authors have illustrations throughout their book, while others have small drawings at the start of each chapter. You can decide to have some illustrations, or none at all.  If you ask a friend for help in drawing your illustrations, make sure you give your friend credit on the title page! Try using different mediums when making your illustrations, should you choose to have them. For example, try drawing some by hand, and then see if creating them on a computer is better.

Article in English: Aftershave is a product specifically designed to care for skin after you’ve finished shaving.  There are two kinds of aftershave: aftershave splash and aftershave balm.  Aftershave splash is a scented, alcohol based astringent.  Aftershave balm is a hydrating lotion with a more mild scent.  Experiment with a variety of aftershave brands and products to find one that soothes your razor burn.  Aftershaves with vitamin E, provitamin B5, and chamomile are especially good for razor burn. Shea butter and birch wood are also ingredients you should look for in an aftershave product that is effective against razor burn. There are a variety of moisturizing lotions that can effectively get rid of razor burn fast.  The best lotions for razor burn will contain glycolic acid, which encourages healing in razor-burned skin.  Lotions containing alcohol, salicylic acid, or both are also useful, but could dry out your skin.  If you have sensitive skin, check the ingredients label on your lotion to ensure it contains glycolic acid instead. Petroleum jelly can relieve irritation caused by razor burn, and keeps moisture on the skin.  Rub a thin layer of petroleum jelly across the razor-burned area.  Your skin will absorb it, so you don’t need to wipe or rinse it off.  After about two hours, apply another layer.  Continue until your razor burn has subsided. The anti-inflammatory properties of aspirin work wonders on your skin.  Take two or three aspirin tablets and crush them in a small bowl.  To crush them, you could use the flat bottom of a cup or a wide spoon.  Add a few drops of water to the bowl and mix the contents with a fork to make a creamy paste.  Four to five drops of water is usually sufficient, but add more if necessary.  Rub the paste on the bumps and wait ten minutes.  Rinse with lukewarm water.  Apply this treatment twice per day until the bumps heal. If you are pregnant, allergic to aspirin, have a bleeding disorder such as hemophilia, or have a history of intestinal bleeding, do not use aspirin.  Additionally, do...

Article in English: Again each finger will represent a number. Your pinkies represent the number six, your ring fingers will represent the number seven, your middle fingers will represent the number eight, your index fingers represent nine, and your thumbs represent the number ten. For example, if you want to figure out the problem (7x6) you would touch your left ring finger with your right pinky. Your left fingers represent the number on the left of the problem, and your right fingers represent the numbers on the right of the problem. Again, remember that each finger represents a number and that in this case, your ring finger represents seven and your pinky represents six. Therefore, you need to touch these together to solve this math problem.  You may have to bend your wrist awkwardly to do this! As another example, if you were trying to calculate 9x7 you would touch your left index finger with your right ring finger. The next step is to count the touching fingers as well as the fingers below them. These will represent the 10s. In this case you would count the ring finger on your left hand, the pinky on your left hand and the pinky on your right hand. Each finger that you count will count as 10. In this case, the total is 30. The next step is to add together the number of fingers on each hand, not including the fingers that are touching. First count the number of fingers on your left hand that are above the touching fingers - in this case there are 3. Next, count the number of fingers on your right hand above the touching fingers - in this case there are 4. 3x4 = 12. In this case you will add 30 to 12 for a total of 42. The answer to 7x6 is 42! For example if you want to find the answer to 10x7, begin by touching your left thumb with your right ring finger. Count the number of fingers below the touching fingers, including the fingers that are touching. There should be a total of 7, which remember means 70. Next, count the number of fingers above the touching fingers on your right and left hand. There should be 0 on your left...

Article in English: Again, although Koreans typically have dark brown eyes, there is no need to change your eye color. In fact, many Kpop artists occasionally wear colored contacts to change their eye color to look blue or light brown. Colored contacts won't affect how you see, and you generally won't need a prescription to get them. This is a recent trend in South Korea and throughout Asia. Wearing these contacts will help you fit into Korean beauty standards, which emphasize large, puppy-dog eyes. Contacts can be expensive and, if you have never used them before, dangerous to put on, so make sure you're serious about contacts before you buy them. Learn how to use them before trying to put them on yourself. Despite common belief, there is no stereotypical "Asian eye"--however, because double eyelids are generally seen as more desirable than monolids, it's become more and more popular to try to get double eyelids. In fact, it's one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in South Korea.  However, you can still achieve the look without surgery. There are many special glues or tapes available to create it.  As with all products, be careful when using tapes or glues for extended periods of time. They can damage your eyes and face if used continually, causing sagging eyelids or eye inflammation. It isn't necessary to change your monolids if you have them, though, because many celebrities and many more average people choose to be happy with the way they look naturally. Some examples of monolid celebrities include: soloists Baek Ah Yeon and Boa, and Minah from Girl's Day. Highlight under your eyebrows with a highlighting makeup pen to make your eyes look big and innocent. Finish the look with your favorite eyeshadow and eyeliner to make you look Korean. Extend your eyeliner upwards away from your eye to create a dramatic, catlike look. Fill it in with smoky eyeshadow to complete the effect. This recent style emphasizes youth and vitality rather than the dramatic sensuality of the cat eye. Achieve this look by extending your eyeliner...

Article in English: Again, being careful not to spatter hot oil on your hands or arms. Wear a full oven mitt just in case or at least a long-sleeve shirt. Cover the entire bottom of the pan with potatoes but don’t pile them on too high.  If you are cooking a large quantity just cook more than one batch. The potatoes need to be mostly covered in oil. If the oil is the right temperature the potatoes will boil and sizzle immediately when you put them in the pan. If this does not happen, carefully add heat until they are really frying, and note the temperature setting for next time. This is the perhaps the most enjoyable and also the trickiest part of making great home fries. A mixture of salt, rosemary, thyme and occasionally a pinch of lemon pepper make for a great recipe, but none of these are truly necessary. At least a sprinkle of salt is recommended.  As you add your spices, sprinkle them on the potatoes as you stir them to get decent coverage, being careful not to add too much salt or any other ingredient. Salt and other seasonings can be added later, but like any recipe, they can never be taken out once they are in the mix. Keep watch to ensure they do not burn. If you prefer crispier home fries, leave them on a little longer, but once they start to turn brown it doesn’t take long to burn them. Scoop the fully-cooked potatoes onto the paper towels to absorb any extra oil. They will be extremely hot at this point, so give them a minute or two to cool off before serving them.

Article in English: Again, cats have a very powerful sense of smell, so food particles left on countertops can lure them into trying to find and eat any scraps, crumbs, or spills you may have missed, in addition to clawing or biting their way into food you have stored on countertops. If you must store food on counters, place it in containers which cats can't tear or chew open. This eliminates the odor of food on the surfaces. It might be especially effective to wipe off counters with a disinfecting wipe, which will eliminate odors that may attract your cat while keeping your countertops clean and sanitary. Choose cleaners or disinfectants that smell like citrus, aloe, eucalyptus, or wintergreen in particular. These scents will deter cats from unwanted surfaces. In fact, many perfumes will have the same effect. It is possible your cat is jumping on your countertops to scavenge for food because he or she is hungry. You might be able to determine if this is the case simply by offering your cat more food than usual. If the cat doesn't seem to jump on the counter after you start offering more food than before, then you might have solved the problem. However, some cats do overeat, and even if you do offer more food, they may still jump onto counters. Be prepared for this possibility as you try offering more food to combat countertop incursions.  If you aren't already, keep a bowl of dry cat food out for the cats to eat as they please. Many cats are "grazers" meaning they like to eat small amounts of food throughout the day instead of having specific mealtimes where they eat a lot of food at once. If your cats are grazers, be sure to keep a bowl of dry cat food always available, provided you do not exceed the daily serving amount on the package (unless your veterinarian instructs you to do otherwise). You can also offer them smaller portions throughout the day if that is convenient for you, but the point is to offer them enough food to try to keep them from scavenging for food on your countertops. Watch your cat's eating habits and...

Article in English: Again, cats naturally lick themselves clean, so your kitten only needs a full bath if she is especially dirty – or if she has fleas. To clean a heavily soiled kitten, you'll need to her a bath rather than just a simple wipe-down. Bathe your kitten immediately after she gets soiled; if you wait too long, she may be uncomfortable and she may develop a rash. Prepare the supplies before you bathe your kitten:  A clean flannel and towel(s) Cat shampoo; avoid human soaps, and harsh chemicals or cleaners A basin, sink, or any watertight tub. Avoid washing your kitten outdoors — if it tries to escape the bath, you will have much more trouble tracking it down outside. Do not use human shampoo, human soap, or dish soap to wash your kitten! Your kitten's fur and skin are very sensitive, and human soaps will dry out its skin. Once you have chosen a bathing location, you should also prepare a warm and welcoming space for the kitten to wind down after its bath. Choose a room in the house that you can close off with a door, a curtain, or a pet gate.  Prepare a warm, cozy spot beneath a desk lamp (or other light source). Plug in a pet-specific heating pad, if you have one. Your kitten will be cold and wet after its bath, so it will want to find a warm location to clean itself.  Have a treat (or dinner) ready so you can give it to your kitten after its bath. A yummy treat will be a nice reward for your kitten. Use lukewarm water – neither too hot nor too cold. The water should feel comfortable on the skin of your wrist. It is very important to use temperate water. Kitten skin is sensitive: hot water can burn your kitty, while cold water can reduce its body temperature to a dangerous level. Make sure that the water is not deep enough to completely submerge your kitten. . Fill the basin before you introduce your kitten to the water. Many cats aren't actually afraid of water itself, but of the loud noise of running water. Once they are startled by running water, they learn to fear it. Gently stroke your kitten to make her feel...

You should leave these connected for no longer than 1 to 4 seconds. This is to prevent damage to the capacitor when you perform the task and to reduce the likelihood of your getting an electric shock. Be sure to wear insulated gloves and not to touch anything metal with your hands when you do this. The possible spark will give you an indication of the capacity of the capacitor.  This method will only work with capacitors that can hold enough energy to produce a spark when shorted. This method is not recommended because it only can be used to determine if the capacitor can hold a charge, capable of sparking when shorted, or not. It can not be used to check if the capacity of the capacitor is within the specifications. Using this method on larger capacitors could result in serious injury or even death!

Apart from the introduction and conclusion, it's all the same. Big beads are Our Fathers, small beads are Hail Marys, and at the end of each decade (10 Hail Marys) is a Glory Be and, if desired, a Fatima Prayer. That is, 10 more Hail Mary prayers, one for each bead. Again, if desired, a Fátima Prayer fits in nicely right here.

These are the areas that you will be applying the highlighter and contour to. If your skin tone is dark enough, then the highlighter may give you enough contrast so that you don't need the contour.

Summary in Russian:

Определите, на какие области вашего лица падает естественная тень.


Article in English: Again, gently tug the belt forward until it is completely unspooled. This will allow you to identify any mold spores and reach the entirety of the belt to remove odors. Pour about one tablespoon (15 mL) of a non-bleach dish soap into a cup (240 mL) of warm water. Add two tablespoons (30 mL) of vinegar. Stir the mixture until soapy. Leave the belt overnight or until dry. It must be completely dry before you remove the clamp or else the wet belt will provide ample breeding ground for mold and nasty odors inside the reel.

Summary in Russian:

Размотайте ремень. Смешайте моющее средство в миске. Дайте ремню высохнуть самостоятельно.


Article in English: Again, it's always best to use stuffed animals that you do not have any sentimental attachment to, as your cat will want to tear and shred the toy. If you know your cat likes catnip, insert a small amount into the stuffed animal. Sew the hole up neatly. This step is optional. Your cat may prefer playing with the toy alone, or it may enjoy engaging with you while you maneuver the toy around the room. Again, it will take time and patience to learn what your cat likes best. If you added a string, swing it back and forth in front of the cat, as this will make it clear that it is supposed to "hunt" the toy.

Summary in Russian:

Найдите старую ненужную набивную игрушку в виде животного. Прорежьте в игрушке небольшое отверстие. Если вы хотите таскать для кошки игрушку по полу, привяжите к ней веревочку или ленту. Дайте кошке новую игрушку.


Article in English: Again, only fill it halfway so the water doesn't slosh over the sides as you carry it. Use this for rinsing. Depending on how strong your solution is, and/or how much surface you have to wash, refresh the bucket with clean water periodically, as needed. Additionally, you should use a second sponge for rinsing. As with the rinsing water, replace as needed if it becomes too foul as you move along. Again, only use a soft, light-colored sponge for this to avoid causing permanent streak marks. Soak it in your solution. Then squeeze it dry over your bucket until no more water drips from it. First, break your wall up into columns in your head, each about a foot or two (30 to 60 cm) wide. Start cleaning each column where the wall meets the ceiling, and go down from there before proceeding to the next one over. This way you're more likely to catch any accidental drips of water that may run downward. Remember: if your walls are painted, vigorous scrubbing can damage the coat. Use as little pressure as needed. Wipe in a circle, reversing directions occasionally, to further reduce the risk of damage. Ideally, you will be using as little liquid as possible to avoid water stains and marks. Still, if left to air-dry, the liquid you did use may cause permanent eyesores, so don't try to clean the whole column at once. Instead, only wash a couple square feet (60 cm) at a time. If you're working on a ladder, you may want to work on even smaller sections since you may be going up and down in between the washing, rinsing, and drying. As soon as you're done washing with your solution, switch sponges. Repeat the same process with fresh water. Pat the area dry with a soft cloth or towel, replenishing them as needed.

Наполните второе ведро чистой водой. Замочите и выжмите вторую губку. Начните с верха и двигайтесь вниз. Вытирайте стены круговыми движениями, не прикладывая излишних усилий. Вытирайте по одному небольшому участку стены за раз. Сполосните участок и сразу вытрите его.


Article in English: Again, steel wool or 600 to 1200-grit sandpaper will work to remove any loose rust, scarring, or pitting from the gun metal. If you plan to remove the gun's finish from the factory before bluing, some recommend using a phosphoric acid-based automotive rust remover to do so. Others use white vinegar, which contains acetic acid, for this purpose. The 19th-century gunsmiths who used this process likely did not have access to the chemicals used to clean gun metal for hot bluing, but the chemical cleaning improves the effectiveness of the bluing. You can use any of the chemicals described in the cleaning step for hot bluing and then rinse the cleaner off in the manner described in the rinsing step. The acid solution actually encourages the metal to rust, but to do so uniformly.  Instead of coating the parts with the acid solution, you can instead place an opened container of the acid solution with the gun parts in a cabinet and seal it for a period of 12 hours. The acid evaporates from its container and condenses around the gun metal. This method is called fume bluing. Another variation is to coat the gun metal parts with the rust bluing solution and then put them into a fume cabinet (or, in this case, a damp cabinet) for the same 12 hours. Often, a first layer is applied as a primer before coating the parts a second time and then placing them in the damp cabinet. This stops the rusting process by removing the acid solution. The surface rust is normally removed with a carding brush or wheel, which features very soft and thin wire bristles. In some cases, the metal may develop as deep a coloring as it can, making further bluing treatments unnecessary and ineffective. The oil inhibits the formation of rust and protects the metal finish from dirt, sweat, body oil, and wear. Once you've applied the oil, let the parts stand overnight before assembling.

Повторяйте обработку кислотой, кипячение, перетирание, пока не достигнете желаемого уровня синения. Покройте части пистолета маслом.


Article in English: Again, this part just means that her friends aren't breathing down your neck. See if you can get her to talk to you right after school, at a birthday party, or some place where you can steal a few minutes alone with her, like a school dance. Try not to ask her  before school or she might still be tired and it could be awkward if she says no and then you have to be near her the whole day. Try asking her at recess. That's a popular time for guys to ask girls out. Again the tricky part will be trying to separate her from her friends. If you want the girl to say yes, she has to think you know what you're talking about. Don't get too nervous, stutter, fidget, kick your feet, or look at the floor. Look her in the eyes and smile. Make her think that you're totally comfortable talking to her so that she feels more comfortable, too. Walk right up to her, wave, and say, "Hi."  You can practice this move in front of the mirror to feel more confident. Remember that the worst thing that can happen is that she can say no. That won't be the end of the world, will it? You should say just a few things before you jump in and ask her out. Saying, "Hi, will you go out with me?" probably won't go over well. You should just say something like, "How are you?" "How was your day?" or "Are you doing anything fun after school?" And maybe tell her a thing or two about what you've been up to before you make your move. This will make her feel more comfortable and will hint at what is coming. You can think of one thing to tell her or one thing to ask her in advance so you feel more comfortable when the time comes. Compliment her or just tell her that you really like her and say, "Do you want to go out with me?" It's as simple as that. You can practice this in front of the mirror to get more comfortable, too. You shouldn't be hanging out with her for more than a few minutes without asking her or she'll start to get confused. Just take a deep breath, look her in the eyes, and spit it out. You'll feel much better once you finally ask her....

Summary in Russian:

Останьтесь с ней наедине (в какой-то степени). Будьте уверены. Поговорите с ней немного. Начните погоню. Реагируйте правильно вне зависимости от исхода.


Article in English: Again, when you're plotting how to ask him, think about his hobbies and interests and use those as a way to make the proposal special. Not only does this show that he's important to you (since you are, after all, asking him to marry you), you're also showing that you pay attention to his interests and that you support them. For example: if he's interested in archaeology, volunteer for an archaeological dig with him and propose on the dig (you can enlist your fellow volunteers to help). Or you could even make a treasure hunt type proposal and have him dig up the proposal in the backyard. In every rom-com ever it seems, there's a scene where one person proposes to another and it's always in front of a bunch of people, but, especially for a guy, it's best to do this part in private (unless he's specifically said that he wants to be proposed to in front of a bunch of people). This way it gives him a chance to think about the proposal without the weight of a bunch of people waiting for his decision. Once he's said yes, feel free to go announce it from the rooftops. Even if you're planning an elaborate proposal (a skydiving extravaganza, or a scavenger hunt), try to keep the actual proposal itself simple and to the point. What you really need to do with it is tell him why you want to spend the rest of your life with him and would he want to do the same with you. You'll be nervous (because, who wouldn't?) so keeping it simple makes it easy for you to remember what you're going to say. Have a few lines to lead up. You could say something like, "We have so many awesome memories... From now on, I want ALL my memories to have you in them." and propose. Or, before your day, "I have this wonderful day planned for us, but I just can’t wait... I want us to spend it together as more than just boyfriend and girlfriend" and then propose. You'll want to give him some sort of symbolic gift, like an engagement ring, but it doesn't necessarily have to be a ring, especially if he isn't the type to wear a ring. You know your guy...

Article in English: Again, you don't want to interfere with any pixels, and you want to be able to see any imperfections. Vinegar is a natural detergent, making it a safer, and much less pricey option, than other cleaners. If necessary, apply gentle pressure and rub spots that need extra cleaning in a circular motion.  Do not dump or spray vinegar solution directly onto the TV screen. It could end up damaging the screen permanently. If you would prefer to buy an LCD screen cleaning solution, they are available for purchase at computer stores. Do not use cleaning solutions that contain ammonia, ethyl alcohol, acetone or ethyl chloride. These chemicals can damage the screen by cleaning a little too much. Allowing liquid to dry on the screen could leave marks. If the hard plastic frame needs more than a dusting, dip a paper towel in the vinegar solution and scrub it clean. Use a second towel to wipe it dry.

Article in English: Agar expands in your stomach, which tricks you into thinking you are full. It's know as the "kanten diet" in Japan and is used by many to try and prevent them from eating too much. People with type 2 Diabetes who supplemented their diet with Agar lost a significant amount of weight and improved their metabolism. It may also help stabilize blood sugar levels.  Make sure you check with your doctor before embarking on this diet. Make snacks using Agar to stay full throughout the day, or mix it into your meals so you stop eating sooner than you normally would. Be aware that Agar can also stimulate your intestines and make you need to use the bathroom.  Make sure you take Agar with at least 8 oz. of water, otherwise the Agar can swell and possibly block your esophagus or intestines. Agar is 80% fiber, so it can be helpful if you need to relieve constipation. It should never, however, be used when you have a bowel obstruction (a kink or blockage in your intestines that prevents you from passing gas or having a bowel movement), as this can make the obstruction much worse.  If you have sudden, severe pain in your abdomen, swelling in your abdomen, and vomit or become nauseous, do not take Agar. Call your doctor instead, as you may have a bowel obstruction.  Make sure you take Agar with enough water, at least 8oz, for it to work as a laxative.

Summary in Russian:

Используйте агар-агар в качестве регулятора аппетита. Для стимуляции перистальтики кишечника и в качестве слабительного принимайте таблетки агар-агара.


Article in English: Agar is tasteless and will take on the taste of whatever it is mixed with, giving you endless flavor possibilities. These candies will stay firm at room temperature, so you can leave them out in a little dish or bowl without worrying about them melting and making a mess. Try mixing agar with teas, juices, broth, coffee--anything that sounds tasty to you!  Try boiling chocolate milk with agar powder, then adding a pinch of cinnamon. Pour it into little glasses to cool for a rich treat. Remember certain acidic fruits may require extra steps, as their acidity or enzymes interfere with Agar's ability to gel.  Pour the mixture in silicone molds in cute shapes. Then your jelly candies can look like stars, kittens, hearts, shells, or any other shapes you can find. You can prepare little gelatinous shots for parties by boiling your mixers with Agar. After allowing the mixture to simmer and the Agar to dissolve and disperse, add the alcohol and stir. Pour the mixture into shot glasses or ice cube molds and allow them to set. Try mixing agar with the ingredients for a hot toddy and serve the cubes warm at holiday parties. If you have a recipe that calls for egg whites but you are vegan, allergic to eggs, or simply don't like them, Agar is a suitable replacement. To replace one egg, mix 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) Agar powder in 1 tablespoon of water. Use an immersion blender or whisk to vigorously whip the mixture, then put it in the refrigerator to chill. Once the mixture is cool, take it out and whip it a second time. This mixture should perform the same function as egg whites in your baking and won't even alter the taste or color. Gelatinous desserts usually call for a lot of eggs for thickening and texture. Instead of eggs, try making a basic gelled mixture of Agar and water, following the steps in method 1. Use a blender or an immersion blender to puree the gel until smooth. Mix this in with your other ingredients and you'll find you have a delicious, eggless dessert.  If you want to thicken the pudding or custard, add...

С помощью агар-агара вы можете приготовить вкусные конфеты из фруктового сока или подслащенного молока. Приготовьте коктейли с агар-агаром. Возьмите агар-агар, чтобы заменить яичные белки. Чтобы приготовить веганский пудинг или заварной крем, возьмите агар-агар в виде жидкого геля.


Article in English: Agar usually comes in three forms: powder, flakes, or a bar. All three work equally well; the real difference is ease of preparation. Powdered Agar is usually the easiest to use, as it can be substituted for gelatin in a 1:1 ratio (1 teaspoon gelatin is equivalent to 1 teaspoon Agar powder). The powder also dissolves easier than flakes or bars.If you're not sure which type to use, default to the powdered Agar.  Agar bars are white, lightweight and made of freeze-dried Agar. They can be ground in a coffee or spice grinder so they dissolve easier or can be broken up by hand. One bar is equivalent to 2 teaspoons of Agar powder.  Agar flakes can also be ground in a coffee or spice grinder and are less concentrated than the powder. They are white and look a little like fish food. 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) of Agar is roughly equivalent to 2 teaspoons of Agar powder.  Look for Agar in natural food stores, Asian grocery stores, or online. The firmness of the gel is determined by the amount of Agar you add. If your recipe doesn't give you a measurement, you can follow this rule of thumb: to thicken 1 cup (.25 liters) of liquid, use 1 teaspoon Agar powder, 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) Agar flakes, or 1/2 Agar bar.  If you are substituting gelatin with Agar you can use the same amount of Agar powder to thicken the recipe. Otherwise, for every teaspoon of gelatin you will need to use 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) flakes or 1/2 bar. If you are trying to jellify a somewhat acidic liquid, such as those derived from citrus fruits or strawberry, you may need to add more Agar.  Some fruits are too acidic or contain enzymes that prevent gelling and must be broken down by being cooked first. These fruits include kiwi, pineapple, fresh figs, papaya, mango, and peaches.  Using canned versions of these fruits will cut out the extra step of cooking them, since canned fruits have all been pre-cooked. You can also hydrate the Agar in boiling water and then mix in the acidic liquid. The powder should simmer for about 5 minutes while the flakes and...

Article in English: Age is the leading factor when it comes to risk, as the majority of people who get colon cancer are over the age of fifty. However, there are several other factors that can play a part. They include:  Being African American. African Americans are at greater risk than other races. Having a personal history of colon cancer or polyps. Having an inherited syndrome that can lead to colon cancer, such as familial adenomatous polyposis and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch syndrome). Leading a sedentary lifestyle. Getting more exercise can help reduce your risk. Eating a low-fiber, high fat diet. Changing your diet to include more fruits and vegetables and less fat and meat can help reduce your risk. Having diabetes or obesity can increase your risk. Smoking and drinking alcohol can increase your risk. More than 95% of colorectal cancers come from adenocarcinoma polyps. These cancers start in cells that form mucus glands, which lubricate the colon and rectum. Carcinoid tumors, gastrointestinal stromal tumors and lymphomas also occur in 5% of colon cancers. The best way to prevent colon cancer is to undergo regular screening tests after the age of 50 to determine whether cancerous or precancerous growths are present. The doctor will perform one or more of the following procedures to determine whether you have colon cancer:  A fecal occult blood test (FOBT), to check for hidden blood in the stools. A sigmoidoscopy, in which a lighted instrument called a sigmoidoscope is used to check for polyps and growths in the rectum and lower colon. A colonoscopy, in which a colonoscope is used to examine the entire colon for cancerous or precancerous growths, which are removed and biopsied if found. A virtual colonoscopy or double contrast barium enema (DCBE), which are different types of x-rays that show polyps and growths on the colon.

Article in English: Agencies are typically regulated by the state economy and need to kick back a certain percentage (usually 10%) of their income to the state. There are many people claiming to represent talent who lack this and seek to exploit inexperienced actors who don't know their way around the business. To check the registration of a particular agency in California, visit the Department of Industrial Relations website: http://www.dir.ca.gov/databases/dlselr/talag.html Colleges will typically advertise the teacher-to-student ratio, meaning that a good school will supposedly have fewer students per teacher, resulting in more face time and contact. You're looking for the same thing with an agent. An overworked, overbooked agent from a big agency who decides to take you on might end up being less valuable than a more devoted agent with fewer clients from a smaller agency. Your relationship with your agent is a real interpersonal relationship, not just a work relationship. You need to pick someone who you can get along with and openly discuss your plans and ambitions with. An agent you're intimidated by or one who doesn't really believe in your talents won't be the best career choice in the long run. In your first few meetings, discuss your plans for yourself. Ask the agent what they see in you and where they think you might go. Seeing if your plans match up will be a good way to judge the workability of the relationship. If you've got a dysfunctional relationship with an agent who is misrepresenting you or representing you lazily, you need to find a new one. Be patient and don't expect much too soon, but if your agent is purposefully blowing you off or you feel like you're being taken advantage of, make the break. Many young actors are scared to try for new representation for fear of losing the stability of the old relationship. "Even if I'm not working," says the young actor, "at least I have an agent." But an agent who isn't getting you parts might as well not exist. If the relationship isn't working out like you want it...

Article in English: Aggregator job posting sites search through the internet to find job postings and list them all in one place for you to view.  So instead of going to each individual company website or job board site, you can utilize one site to find what you are looking for by using keywords and other advance search criteria such as location or company name. Using aggregator job positing sites will allow you to save time in your search so you can focus on preparing and submitting your applications. You can further define your job search by researching various companies and creating a target list of companies you want to work for. Once you have this list, you can periodically check their website and other job boards for openings.  At first this may seem like it may prolong the job search, but if you are very specific in your choice of employment you may find this step most effective for you. By targeting specific companies, you can use your energy wisely and not waste time with companies you do not want to work for. Remember - quality over quantity! Perform research on these companies by conducting a general internet search using the company name as a keyword and reading through their website, articles published about or by them, company reviews and social media profiles. Create a list of all companies that seem to fit what you are looking for, even if there is no job currently available for you. When you are applying to multiple jobs in different ways such as websites, email or by hand, it can get very confusing. Sometimes people don’t even remember applying for a particular job until they get an email or phone call back from the company. In order to remain efficient, it is important to stay organized.  Thanks to modern technology, there are tools available for job seekers to stay organized called job search management tools. This is a great way to keep track of the entire job search process by helping you determine what you have applied to, who responded back to you, where you are in the process for each job and what tasks...

Article in English: Aging skin does not need harsh products like the ones teenagers often need to use, as there isn't usually any excess oil. If your cleanser is too harsh, it will be stripping your skin of its natural oils, and therefore drying out the skin and causing it to age more quickly. Look for ones that are aimed at your age group, or ones that describe themselves as gentle or moisturizing. Women should moisturize their faces any time before they wear make-up. It is still important to cleanse your face as you get older, as it removes traces of chemicals from your environment or any makeup which can cause aging if left on the skin. It's important to give your skin a moisture boost so that it can look after itself. Dry skin ages more quickly if it's not moisturized. Look for anti-aging moisturizers with a high percentage of their active ingredient. If in doubt about which to buy (there are hundreds on the market), try looking at reviews or try to find scientific research supporting the product. Make sure that the product you decide on is rich and deeply moisturizing, unlike the ones you may have used in your younger years. And remember, moisturizing is not just for women, there are plenty of similar products on the market aimed at men. There are many moisturizers that already contain SPF protection in them, and this is because it is vital to protect your skin from harmful UV rays every day in order to avoid sun damage. The sun is one of the main things that causes premature aging, so dermatologists recommend that you should wear at least SPF 15 daily to avoid wrinkles, brown spots, and a dull complexion. As well as this, it will protect you from skin cancer. You can put sunscreen not just on your face, but on your chest and the tops of your hands if you're just going to be out in the sun for a little while. This will prevent those spots on your chest and hands. If you're going to really be out in the sun, though, then you'll need to put sunscreen all over your body. Gently exfoliating encourages skin cell renewal,...

Article in English: Agoraphobia should not be treated with medication alone, but combining medication with therapy can help. Common medications used to treat agoraphobia include:  Antidepressants.  Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants, such as paroxetine and fluoxetine, may help if you have panic attacks along with your agoraphobia. Other options include tricyclic antidepressants and MAOI inhibitors. Anti-anxiety medications.  Medications such as benzodiazepines can produce a sense of calm in short amount of tie, but these medications can be addictive. Therefore, it is best to limit your use of these medications to emergency situations, such as during a panic attack. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most effective form of treatment for agoraphobia.  The technique mixes cognitive therapy (which emphasizes that certain ways of thinking lead to certain mental illnesses) with behavioral therapy (which emphasizes the ability of the individual to change behaviors which are harmful to them.  An effective CBT regimen will occur over several weeks in sessions of about 50 minutes each.  Your counselor will talk you through your experience of agoraphobia in a given week and you will be asked to analyze your patterns of mind and action. Eventually, you will be asked to expose yourself to progressively more challenging levels of social engagement in order to banish the feelings and thoughts your agoraphobia inspires.  First you might go to the market for 15 minutes, then 30 minutes, then an hour, and so on until you’ve been properly re-acclimated to social situations. Agoraphobia is the result of your brain telling you something that isn’t true: “You’re trapped,” “You are unsafe here,” or “You should not trust anyone.”  By modifying and actively rejecting your misconceptions, you can learn to cope with agoraphobia.  The first step toward retraining is to recognize that your mind is disordered, and that the thoughts or signals you’re receiving are false. For instance, when your brain tells you to freak out...

Article in English: Agree that each of you will make a list of items you want that ranks the items in terms of priority. Place the items you want the most near the top. Keep the items you could live without toward the bottom. Meet up in a neutral location, like a quiet coffee shop, to go over your lists. It's likely that there will be some disagreement, which should be addressed calmly.  For example, maybe you both want the TV you bought together. See if your ex would offer a trade. Maybe you also both really like a particular coffee table, but your ex is a little more attached. Agree to let them have the coffee table if you can have the television set. For items you absolutely can't agree on, see if your ex is willing to sell the item and split the money. It's sad to let a pet go that you've come to care for, but remember to take the high road and do what's best for the pet. The pet should go to the primary caregiver. Whoever has the most time to care for the pet should take it in the breakup.  For example, you have a dog with your ex. You have a demanding job and are away for long hours during the day, while your ex works from home. It makes sense to let your ex take the dog, as they'll be able to provide it with the most attention and care. It can be hard to let go of a pet. If you and your ex are still on good terms, you might be able to do something like have visiting hours with the pet or meet up at a local dog park on occasion. It's okay to keep gifts your ex bought for you over the years. If they gave you an item of clothing or household device, that's generally yours to keep. However, if they gave you a sentimental item, it's best to return it. For example, if your ex gave you their great-grandfather's watch, this should be returned. If your ex is being very difficult, try to be the bigger person. Remember, items can be replaced. It's worth splurging on, say, a new television set if it means ending a prolonged argument and making a clean break from your ex. If your ex won't let go of an item, and is unwilling to...

Article in English: Aim for a total of 150 minutes of exercise per week. Aerobic exercises, such as walking, light jogging, and cycling are especially beneficial for your joints. Talk to your doctor before you start a new exercise routine, especially if you have a history of heart, bone, or joint issues. Regular, varied exercise is good for your joints, but repetitive motions can cause chronic injuries. Try to exercise different parts of your body each day. If you have to perform repetitive motions at work, take breaks to stretch every 15 to 30 minutes. To vary your exercise routine, try lifting weights on Monday, going for a jog on Tuesday, yoga or stretching on Wednesday, and ride your bike on Thursday. If your knees, hips, and ankles frequently crack, focus on strengthening your leg muscles to reduce the strain on these joints. Go for brisk walks or jogs, ride your bike, swim laps, or use resistance machines at your gym. If you have a history of joint issues, stick to low-impact activities, such as walking and swimming. To minimize joint strain, try to walk on flat, padded tracks instead of hard surfaces and inclines. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and arms extended in front of you. Bend your knees and extend your buttocks backward to lower your body by about 4 to 5 inches (10 to 13 cm). Face forward as you bend your knees, keep your back straight, and align your knees with the second toe on each foot.  Avoid extending your knees past your toes. Stay down for 1 to 2 seconds, return to the starting position, and do a total of 10 repetitions. Knee bends are a great way to get moving during breaks at work or when you don't have time to go for a walk. While taking classes will ensure you maintain proper form, you could also look online for instructional videos. In addition to improving joint health and improving flexibility, yoga and tai chi can improve balance and prevent falls.

Article in English: Aim for many quick conversations instead of one long one, at first. If you want to be flirtatious and get a girl interested in getting to know you back, try to talk to her regularly.  Talk in the hall during passing period at school. Exchange a few quick sentences, then say, "Talk to you later." Always establish that you'll talk again soon. This will help to ensure that you're thinking about her, and you'll both be thinking about each other. One of the best ways to get a girl to open up more to you is to be a good listener. Focus on being a good listener. Show that you're interested in what she has to say.  Don't dominate the conversation. Ask a question instead of launching into a story. Look at her while she talks and nod your head to show that you're paying attention. After she finishes, summarize what she said and use her name while you talk. This helps to show that you're giving her your personal attention. Eye contact is very important in establishing a good conversation. If you want to get to know a girl better, practice making better eye contact while you're speaking and while she's speaking. If you struggle to keep eye contact, or it makes you feel awkward, then practice. When you watch TV, practice holding the gaze of the TV actors as long as possible, or practice picking a spot on the face near the eyes, like the nose, the eyebrow, or another spot to hold your gaze. . If you want someone to open up to you, put them at ease by smiling. Even if you're feeling nervous, or feeling serious, or feeling the serious feelings about this girl, you need to relax yourself and relax her by flashing those pearly whites. Make your flirty talking face a smile. Even if you don't want to get to know this girl better romantically, it's still good to establish that you like talking to her and you enjoy her presence. A smile goes a long way in doing just that. It's important to make sure you're not bugging someone by approaching them and asking questions. Make sure that your presence is ok by learning to read a girl's...

Article in English: Aim for short conversations at first, say 5 to 10 minutes. Don’t expect to talk to her too often in the beginning. Weekly conversations are perfectly okay. As time passes, gradually increase how long and how often you talk. There are no set rules in how and when to take these steps. Let the relationship develop naturally. When you're acting natural, it’s easier to keep the conversation flowing. Take deep breaths and speak at your normal pace. Speak loud enough for her to hear but not so loud that she’ll feel uncomfortable. Use relaxed, slightly animated, body language. In all likelihood, you’ll likely have to start the conversation. Ask her about her hobbies, favorite books, or sports. Just avoid making the conversation all about her, or she might feel overwhelmed. You could say:  “I really like that guitar pin on your backpack. Do you play?” From here, you could segue into favorite musicians or your shared appreciation of music in general. (After looking at the cover of the book she’s reading): “Oh, you have a copy of 1984. I feel like I’m the only one who’s never read it. I’d like to hear your opinion.” This way, the spotlight will be on the novel, as opposed to her. After you’ve broken the ice, she might become quiet. Don’t use this as an excuse to dominate the conversation. Create pauses where she can make a comment or just an affirmation like "Yeah," or “Okay.” Eventually she'll make lengthier contributions to the conversation. It’s up to you how personal you want the topic to be. She’ll make a comment about what you said or reply to a question you threw in. She might even say something about herself. Talk about something that happened in a class you’re both in. If you work at the same place, mention something that happened on the job. You could also bring up a new addition to the menu at a restaurant you both frequent. This will give her an opportunity to chime in. If you’ve been talking about that hot new TV show on Netflix, don’t try to prevent silence by switching to your desire to upgrade your...

Article in English: Aim the hairdryer at the residue to soften it. After a minute, it should be heated enough to remove. Scrape it off carefully with a knife or other implement. If it doesn’t come off all the way, switch to a different treatment. WD-40 is available at most general and home improvement stores. You can spray it directly onto areas with a lot of residue or dampen a terry cloth to treat smaller patches of residue. Leave it on for a minute, then scrub it off with soap and water.  WD-40 is perfect for surfaces such as cars. Read the warnings on the canister to avoid using it on surfaces that it’ll stain. Vaseline or car wax works as an alternative to WD-40. These products are also available at general stores. There are brands out there designed to remove the residue from commercial tape. Follow the directions on the label and the product will also work well for you at home. This can only be done on strong construction materials such as rock, brick, and concrete. Aim a high-pressure water system or sandblaster at the material. Briefly turn it on and off until the residue is gone. Be very careful when doing this. These machines can leave marks on most surfaces.

Article in English: Aim the nozzle of the hair dryer at the contaminated spot on your leather. Run the hot air in circular motions over the gum until the gum becomes soft. Once the gum has warmed up, you should be able to scrape most of it off with a plastic hard-edged scraper. You could also try using an old credit card, a butter knife, or a spatula. Once the gum is reheated, take a dry, clean cloth rag (one that you don’t care about getting gum on) and rub the gum. Using a circular motion, you should be able to rub the gum so that it forms into little balls and wipes away easily. Using a leather cleaner will help to remove any greasy residue left by the gum. Once you have wiped down the leather with the cleaner, apply some leather conditioner to moisturize the area that you applied heat to.

Article in English: Aim to buy a purebred puppy from a responsible local Cocker Spaniel breeder. It is a good idea to visit a few local breeders before choosing one from which to buy a puppy. Check local classified listings, talk to area vets, attend dog shows, visit dog parks, and ask other local Cocker Spaniel owners for referrals to reputable breeders. It's best to shop locally so you can meet the puppy first and establish a relationship with a knowledgeable breeder. Browse the database of Cocker Spaniel breeders at the American Spaniel Club (ASC) website to look for ASC-registered breeders in your state: http://www.asc-cockerspaniel.org/index.php/breeders.html Ask how many years of experience the breeder has; ideally, they should have at least a few years of experience. Also, ask if they only breed Cocker Spaniel puppies or other breeds as well. If they specialize in Cocker Spaniels, they are more likely to be knowledgeable about them. Be polite and direct with questions like:  "Have you been a breeder for many years?" "Have you only bred Cocker Spaniels?" Making sure that your new puppy is healthy is of the utmost concern, and it should be a breeder's primary concern as well. Be sure to ask your breeder if the puppies’ mother is current on her vaccines, as puppies receive their early immunity to disease directly from their mother, and if either parent had any genetic defects. You should also inquire if the puppy will be seen by a vet before it is sold.  Conditions like progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), cataracts, glaucoma, cardiomyopathy, and hip dysplasia are common in Cocker Spaniels, so ask if either parent of the litter has been afflicted with any of them.  Both the mother and the father should be certified by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) as well. Almost all pet stores puppies come from puppy mills, which are essentially puppy factories with horrible, unhealthy conditions. Given the popularity of the Cocker Spaniel breed, many Cocker Spaniel puppies will be sold in pet stores. Buying your new puppy from...

Article in English: Aim to keep your body as flat as you can so you can streamline through the water. Position your hips and legs so they are just slightly underwater. Keep your stomach flat and level to support your back and as near to the surface of the water as possible. Position your head so that it is inline with the body and the water level meets your hairline and eyebrows, with eyes looking forward and down. In this position you want to keep your head and spine as still and relaxed as possible. For momentum, rotate your hips and shoulders. Your head should only join the movement when you come up for breath. Your hips should not rotate as much as your shoulders. Your kicks should alternate and start at the hip with a slight knee bend. Your legs should be close together with ankles relaxed. Do a steady small motion with most of the pressure on your feet. You still should be moving your whole leg, but your feet should be moving up and down with the movement of your legs. Make the kicks long and fast, but with very little splash.Try to do six kicks in every arm cycle, so three kicks per arm movement. One hand should follow the other hand into the water above your head. The elbows first exit the water half a foot to a foot or so. Make spear motions with your arm, with your palms turned facing out, causing your thumb to enter the water first. Make one spear with your arm through the water and as you pull the other elbow up out of the water, move the first arm back through the water to your body.  Don't start pulling your arm back as soon as your hand is in the water. Allow your arm to reach forward, forming the spear, before you begin to pull it back to your body. When your hand enters the water, sweep your elbow forward, then pull it back towards the center of the body and then out towards the thighs. Breathing in front crawl can be difficult, but it is important for the stroke. Try to breathe after every three strokes. Smoothly turn your head to the side and lift your mouth out of the water as you enter the opposite arm into...

Article in English: Air conditioners consume a lot of energy to extract the heat from air, siphoning off up to a few miles per gallon. However, opening the windows creates aerodynamic drag, disrupting the flow of air across the car, which can also reduce efficiency. For this reason, using the air conditioner really only makes sense when it's cheaper than the increase in drag from just opening your windows.   The air conditioner is typically more efficient than open windows at high speeds over about 45 mph (72 km/h). The climate control system's ventilation fan, without AC, uses negligible energy but can be weak and carry in some engine heat. For the best of both worlds - quiet, cooling, and a breeze - within reason, adjust the window openings to direct air from a little opening into an efficient crossflow or brisk vortex. While there is some debate between using air conditioning and opening the windows, hardcore hypermilers simply bring ice water in the car with them so they can stay cool with the windows closed and the AC off. Auto A/C systems work most efficiently while set on the coldest temperature with the lowest fan speed.[citation needed] If you live in a hot climate where you simply must use the air conditioner, try cycling it on and off rather than keeping it on all the time.   With the air conditioner off and the fan blowing, the air will continue to blow cool air for several minutes. When the air begins to get warm, turn the air conditioner back on for a few minutes until the air is cool again, and again turn off the air conditioner.   The effectiveness of cycling your air conditioner will depend on your model of car. In some cars, the air conditioner can run at variable strengths, and may be used less intensively by the fan and air mix when turned down. Beware of continually adjusting climate control systems, especially those with lots of electronic controls or a thermostat rather than simple fan speed settings and stiff dials to adjust fan speed.  Servos deep within the car can die and take a lot of labor to...

Article in English: Air inhaled through the mouth is unfiltered, so it's more likely to dry out the membranes in your throat. Breathing through your nose, on the other hand, will filter the air and make it more humid. If your nose is too congested to breathe through, try taking over-the-counter nasal decongestants to help remedy the problem. Foods that fall into these categories are more likely to aggravate the dryness you already feel, so it's best to avoid them until the problem is fixed.  In addition to making your throat feel more dry, spicy or salty foods can actually make a dry throat feel painful. You can probably tell when foods are salty or spicy, but you might consume plenty of dry foods without even realizing it. Examples of dry food consumed in many households on a daily basis include toast, cookies, dry breads, dried fruit, and bananas. Both alcohol and caffeine actually dehydrate you instead of hydrating you, so they strip valuable moisture away from your throat and the rest of your body.  Both alcohol and caffeine directly dry out the mouth and throat, but they can increase overall dehydration by triggering more frequent urination, too. On a similar note, you should also avoid acidic beverages, including most fruit juices and tomato juice. While these fluids may not increase overall dehydration, they can irritate an already dry, sensitive throat. Moreover, acidic beverages are more likely to further encourage tooth decay, and people who suffer from dry throat and dry mouth are already at a higher risk of developing decay. Many common medications can be classified as "anticholinergic" drugs. These decrease secretions, including saliva production, and may result in an excessively dry throat.  Some examples include antihistamines, tricyclic antidepressants, and antispasmodics. Many drugs used to treat Parkinson's disease, overactive bladder, and chronic bronchitis can also cause a problem.  If you're suspicious of a certain medication, it's best to consult your doctor about it before taking action. Do not quit using...

Article in English: Air kisses to the cheeks of friends and acquaintances are common in the morning, particularly if it's the first time you're seeing someone. Generally, the "faire la bise" involves two kisses, one to each cheek. However, different traditions prevail in different regions.  For example, friends in Brittany greet each other with only one kiss. Meanwhile, in Normandy, friends greet each other with four kisses, two to each cheek. In southern France, you'll commonly see three kisses. Traditionally, the "faire la bise" is only done when you greet each other first thing in the morning or when you are saying "goodnight" at the end of the evening. If you see friends throughout the day, a friendly "salut" and a hug will suffice. In some circumstances, you may not feel comfortable with the traditional "faire la bise" greeting. If you want to avoid it, keep your body straight and hold your hand out towards the person as you say "bonjour."  The person will usually interpret your body language to mean that you want a handshake, rather than air kisses. Typically, they won't be offended, particularly if they're a friend. Men, in particular, are more likely to greet other men with a handshake than with air kisses, particularly in more urban areas. Historically, the "faire la bise" custom was a near-universal French greeting. However, the custom has evolved so that it's typically only used between friends and family members. If someone is considered a higher rank than you, either socially or in the workplace, it's more common to shake hands in the morning than to exchange air kisses.  For example, it used to be customary for a manager to air kiss their employees good morning. However, this is increasingly seen as being overly familiar and friendly. Keep in mind that French culture, generally, is very formal. When in doubt, a handshake is always appropriate, while air kisses may not be.

Article in English: Air purifiers filter the content and the stench of air, erasing the stink of tobacco smoke.  This will help you conceal your smoking when indoors.  The best air purifiers will have an activated carbon filter.  This filter is specially attuned to remove the odor of smoke. If you’re out and about but trying to not get caught smoking indoors, use a personal air filter.  These portable devices filter your smoke, scrubbing its scent and toxins. Smoke clings to clothes, curtains, towels, and bedding.   Remove these things regularly before they build up a heavy layer of smoke that could out you as an indoor smoker. Smoke particulate can mingle with regular dust and settle on your tables, TVs, and counters.  Dust and wipe surfaces regularly to avoid accumulating telltale smoke scent. Don’t forget to wipe down your mirrors and windows. Don’t leave your cigarettes in the toilet or on top of an open trash can.  Wrap your cigarette butts in a damp paper towel to ensure they don’t accidentally ignite the trash can, then throw the whole bundle away. If you’re indoors and head off on your own, have a good pretext.  For instance, you might smoke when you’re running documents to another part of your workplace.  Smoke only during periods of time when you won’t be missed.  Smoking indoors when on your way to your lunch break, for instance, is a good option. If you’re in a room with a fan or air conditioner, turn it on.  The movement of air can disperse the smoke, making it harder for others to detect.  This will reduce the likelihood you’ll get caught.

Article in English: Airline staff will usually transfer your checked baggage for you, so you do not need to pick it up until your final destination. This isn't always true, though, so ask about this when you first check your bags. Typically, you will only need to pick up your bags and recheck them during these types of transfers:  If you are arriving on an international flight, you will need to pick up your bags and take them through customs. If you booked the two legs of your flight separately, you probably need to pick up your bags and recheck them with your departing airline. If you booked the two legs at the same time but the tickets list two different airlines, you probably don't need to recheck, but make sure to ask. The baggage connection is located outside the secure area. If you need to pick up your bags, you cannot take advantage of the walkways between Terminals 4–8 and TBIT that allow you to transfer without security. The amount of time this takes varies depending on the time and day of the week. Check whatsbusy.com for an estimate. All passengers arriving from another country will need to pick up their bags, then go through customs and border control. Allow at least 45 minutes for this process. Wait times of 60 to 90 minutes are not unheard of.  For a more accurate estimate of wait times, check http://awt.cbp.gov/ for days and times that match your trip. Security usually takes longer for people traveling on a non-American passport. To get through this as fast as possible, have your documents ready and fill out your customs form on the plane. Now you have the information you need to estimate your transfer time. As a general rule, 60 to 90 minutes should be enough for a transfer between domestic flights that doesn't require leaving security. Two hours is more reasonable for domestic transfers that require leaving security and rechecking, and three hours is a good idea if arriving from another country. Extra time is always a good idea. 23% of flights arriving in LAX are late. You can look up your specific flight number...

Article in English: Alarm barking is any pattern of barking at perceived intruders. While barking at a real intruder is useful and may save a person's life, barking at perceived intruders like mail carriers, parcel deliverers, or even just neighbors passing by the property can be annoying and troublesome.  Alarm barking does not always require a visual confirmation of the perceived intruder. Some dogs may engage in alarm barking simply from hearing a car door outside or hearing voices on the sidewalk.  Alarm barking is often accompanied by a slight lunge or pounce forward (one to two inches) with each bark. The best way to quell alarm barking is by teaching your dog to be quiet on command. Like any training, this will most likely be a time-consuming process that requires patience and consistency. But if you're willing to put in the time and effort, even the most territorial dog will learn to behave better.  When your dog starts engaging in alarm barking, hold up a treat after three or four barks. This will get her attention and will most likely distract her from the perceived intruder.  Wait until she stops barking. Simply be patient and continue to hold up the treat.  Once your dog stops barking, say "quiet" in a calm but stern voice and give her the treat.  Repeat this process until your dog learns to associate the word "quiet" with her silence. Once your dog has done this successfully on 10 or more occasions, you can begin giving the quiet command without showing her a treat. If she still complies with your command, then give her a treat. If she does not, you may need to show her the treat for several more training sessions.  Eventually your dog will learn to be quiet on command without getting a treat. Even after you've reached this stage of training, however, you should still give your dog verbal praise when she stops barking. Once your dog has learned the quiet command in training sessions, you'll need to apply the quiet command to real-world scenarios. You can do this by having a friend slam a car door in front of your...

Article in English: Alcohol and caffeine are two of the biggest culprits that deposit toxins in your liver and keep it from functioning properly. Cleanse your liver by reducing your intake of alcohol and caffeinated beverages. Recent research however indicates that decaffeinated coffee may help lower elevated liver enzyme levels. Replace these beverages with non-alcoholic beverages to allow your liver to regenerate, flush itself clean and function properly. Read on to find out what liquids are good for the liver. Detoxify your liver and flush toxins out by drinking at least 2 quarts of water every day. Drinking lots of water will keep you hydrated, which naturally encourages cell regeneration.
