Article in English: You will need: a shovel or spade and a container filled with moist soil and leaves.  An ideal time to look for earthworms is when you are already digging up soil, such as during gardening, fence building, or digging a foundation. If you go deeper than just the surface, you will find different types of earthworms, including nightcrawlers. Dress for gardening. You’ll be digging through soil for worms, so you’re likely going to get dirty. You may want to wear old clothes, knee pads, gardening gloves, gardening boots or shoes. Select a patch of ground in your backyard, garden, or forest and begin digging a small hole. As you lift the soil out, sift through it for worms and collect any that you find. An excellent place to dig for worms is near a stream or water source.  You can also try digging in a community garden or forest floor, but you should avoid digging up earth in privately owned golf courses, fields, and public parks. Be as quiet as possible so your vibrations don’t spook the worms. Be sure to look under rocks, logs, and other items lying on the ground. Worms are equipped with setae, which are bristles that help them move through the earth. This may make it difficult to pull worms directly out of the ground. Dig around a worm that is trying to burrow back into the ground, being careful not to cut the worm. Once you’ve loosened the soil, it will be easy to pluck the worm out and put it in your storage container. When you’ve exhausted a patch of ground, replace the soil and begin digging a new hole a couple feet away. Repeat the digging and searching process, and replace the soil when you are finished.

Article in English: You will never be able to overcome something if you don't first recognize that it exists and is affecting your decisions. Doubt arises for good reasons. It is not your enemy or a sign of inferiority. What do you doubt? Where do those concerns come from? Asking questions is an important aspect to understanding your actions, so you should never be afraid to ask them, even of yourself. Focusing on what holds you back can help you see which doubts are important. You may find that, after poking through them a bit, your concerns aren't that serious. No one always sees the world clearly all the time. Sometimes we let our emotions cloud judgment, and convince us that certain things are true when they aren't. Ask yourself if you are doing one of the following.  Filtering, or cutting out positive details to focus only on the negative. You may find that you are focused on one unpleasant detail, which darkens the view you have of the task in front of you. Don't ignore that detail, but instead look at all the others as well. Many situations have positive aspects you can look at as well. Overgeneralization, where we use a single piece of evidence to draw larger conclusions. If we see something bad happen once, we suddenly expect it to repeat. Sometimes these over-generalizations lead to jumping to conclusions, immediately thinking we have a larger problem figured out based on a small piece of data, rather than trying to find out more. Never be afraid to look for more information, more data, especially pieces that may challenge your generalizations. Catastrophizing, focusing on the worst possible outcome. You may find yourself asking, "What if something terrible happens to me?" This worst-case scenario thinking can lead people to overemphasize small mistakes, or minimize certain positive events that may also be important. Give yourself confidence by thinking about the best-case scenarios, and what you want to accomplish. Neither of these events may come true, but thinking about the best case can alleviate doubts that come...

Article in English: You will not be able to get your full feelings out if you're yelling and screaming. Remember that people mirror behavior in a conversation -- the louder and angrier you get, the meaner your parents will get in response. If you cool off and act calm, they will too. If things are really heated, try and have the conversation an hour or so after the inciting incident -- don't deal with it while the "wounds" are still fresh.  “I need some time to cool down. I am going on a walk around the block/go to my room/etc. Can we talk in 10 minutes?" Close your eyes and count to ten, taking a deep breath each time. It only takes a few seconds for your brain to calm down from the initial rush of anger. Listen to music that soothes you. Put on the music, close your eyes, and concentrate on your breathing to calm down. This doesn't mean that you just give up when they attack you, it just means that you offer them an olive branch. More likely than not, your parents are mean or angry because they think you made a mistake or disrespected them. Even if you didn't do anything wrong, apologize for the misunderstanding and offer to make things better. If you offer this first branch of peace, however small, you'll deflate their mean energy in an instant. All it starts with is an apology.  "I'm sorry I forgot to call, that was my fault." "I shouldn't have broken my promise, I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to yell, I just feel like we misunderstood each other." This might be the hardest part of the entire situation, but it is also one of the most critical. Sometimes a mean parent just needs to vent, and you, as their child, are always around to listen. While it can be difficult to listen without jumping in, 90% of the time a parent will run out of things to say if you just let them keep talking. Let them get it all out and, when they're done, offer your side of the story.  Try to calmly remind your parents not to interrupt you when you're talking. If you can keep silent while they talk it will be much easier to ask them to stay silent when...

Поймите, что поведение родителей — это проявление заботы.


Article in English: You will notice dryness and perhaps some swelling after the cast is removed.  Your skin may also look dry or flaky. Your muscles may look smaller than when you put the cast on, which is normal.  Soak your arm/wrist in warm water for 5-10 minutes. Gently dry the skin with a towel.  Use a moisturizing cream on the wrist and arm to soften the skin. To reduce swelling, take ibuprofen or aspirin as recommended by your doctor. It can take some time before you’re able to return to your full routine. In particular, you may need to wait 1-2 months to resume light exercise, such as swimming or cardio. Vigorous activities such as sports may require waiting 3-6 months. Take care to prevent further injuries to your wrist. Braces can help prevent future wrist injuries. Just because your cast is off does not mean you are completely healed. It may take six months or longer to heal if the break was severe.  You may continue to have aches or stiffness for months or years after the initial break.  Your healing process is also affected by your age and overall health. Children and teens tend to heal faster than adults. Older adults and people with osteoporosis or osteoarthritis may not experience healing as fast or as fully.

Article in English: You will only need:  Scissors. Paper (best if it is somewhat rigid). Tape Any size will do, but obviously a small sheet of paper will make a small hoop. You will create a crease that ends at the midpoint of the top and bottom sides. Make sure that you make all of your folds in the same direction; in other words, do not make one fold toward you and the other fold away from you. All of the creases (including those in the next step) must leave an imprint on the paper point the same direction. Make sure that each corner and the sides match up perfectly as you fold. The paper should now have four creases in it, and will almost take a pyramid shape if left to sit on its own. It will only come together correctly if all four of the creases meet at a single central point. Do not bent against the creases you created earlier. As you bend the four together, the diagonal creases will flow outward. The paper should appear to be a triangle if looked at from the side and a four-pointed star if viewed from above. You may be able to get the hoop to maintain its shape just by flexing the paper (especially if the paper is rigid). If the paper will not maintain the hoop shape on its own, you can tape the tips together. The tip of the triangle or pyramid from earlier is now usually considered the top. As you fold the tips together you may note how easily they form a basket that opens wider toward the top. Again, masking tape usually works best.

Article in English: You will only want to cover the upper part of the door, otherwise their feet will hit the wrap instead of their face. (You may be able to trip the victim if you put it below!) Also you need to pull the saran wrap taut to tape it, otherwise your victim will see it. Enlist a friend to help. Get a real egg and cover it with melted chocolate. Allow to dry. Cover it with brightly colored foil, like a chocolate egg. Give to someone you love. If you have a refrigerator that allows you to remove the handle, get a screwdriver and unscrew the handle. Switch it to the other side of the fridge, and screw it back in. People will try to open the fridge and get really frustrated when they can't. Get a dozen cream filled donuts, scrape out the cream, and refill it with mayo. Take to work and anonymously leave it in the break room. You'll need to have access to your victim's phone and computer, otherwise they will figure out pretty quickly what's going on. Change it to a couple hours ahead or behind. Take saran wrap and wrap it all the way around your victim's car so they can't get into with without cutting it. You'll need a lot of saran wrap to pull this off.

Article in English: You will pay the balance for your jump if you have not already and sign a few forms and waivers. Although bungee jumping is very safe, they will want to make sure you understand the potential risks. If you have any questions about the waiver, do not hesitate to ask a crew member. They will weigh you to make sure they are using the correct equipment for you body weight and to make sure you are not over the weight limit of the outfitter. When you get to the top of the bungee, there will be instructors up there who will prep you. If you can make it to the top, then you should be fine because this is one of the scariest parts! Listen to what they have to say, as it will make your jump more enjoyable. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions- that's what they are there for. The instructors will put padding around your ankles and then attach big elastic bands around them, which will in turn be attached to the actual bungee cord! Fear is your body's way of protecting itself as self-defense. Try to channel your thoughts and convince your mind that you are not inflicting harm on yourself. Things will move fast once you are strapped up, so just let things happen. Don't look down before jumping! You will have plenty of time to admire the scenery while jumping. Looking down before you jump might make you change your mind. ' It's an incredible feeling falling through the air at that speed! Enjoy the ride, and feel free to scream your head off! At the end of the drop you should decelerate smoothly and it will actually feel quite peaceful. After the jump, a guy in a boat might come and unhook you from the cords or they will lift you back up to the bridge or wherever you jumped from. You just went bungee jumping- you are instantly super-cool!

Summary in Russian:

Свяжитесь со своими инструкторами. Вас могут взвесить. Заберитесь на самых верх, к месту, откуда будете прыгать. Внимательно слушайте своих инструкторов. Поймите, что страх - это вполне нормально. Прыгайте, когда инструктор крикнет 'Пошел! Похвастайтесь этим!


Article in English: You will probably be hurt by what your friend says about you, even if they stick to the truth. The key to dealing with this kind of drama, though, is to ignore it. If you decide to “set the record straight” you will be playing into a vicious friend feud that can go on for a long time.  "Setting the record straight" can jeopardize your other friendships and keep you from moving on. For example, if your ex friend spreads rumors about you at school, ignore them. Don't spread bad things about them in retaliation. Nobody wants to pick sides. It isn’t fair to ask your mutual friends to do so. Avoid gossiping about your ex best friend, especially with mutual friends. You should also refrain from sending any messages back and forth between mutual friends.  Never say things to your friends like “Next time you see them, tell them I said that they are a liar!” This mostly goes for mutual friends, but it also applies friends who attend the same school. Any gossip or rumors may find their way back to your ex friend. Avoid talking to your former friend. Distance yourself from the things that you used to do together, and change any routines that heavily involved your former friend.  There will be instances where you and your former friend have to co-exist, but limit contact with them as much as possible. If this friend is from school, you could explain the situation to your teacher. Tell them that pairing you for projects may keep you from doing a good job. Most nasty comments or rude gestures are done to get a reaction out of you. If you don’t give them a reaction, your ex friend will leave you alone much faster. Stay positive by realizing that what your ex best friend says about you doesn’t actually define you.  You should also allow yourself to feel good for ignoring the immaturity and letting the situation go. Don't retaliate if your ex best friend leaves a nasty note. Just throw the note away and go on about your day. Try not to be upset.

Article in English: You will probably gag, but it's worth it! Work the vinegar through your hair slowly, over a 10 minute period to get maximum saturation. Refrain from rinsing. This gives the vinegar time to sink into the hair and scalp. Use a treatment with a  2%  salicylic acid concentration. Again, pour slowly and allow liquid to soak into your hair. Leave the vinegar and acne treatment in your hair for about 30 minutes. Do not rinse the vinegar and acid out of your hair before doing this. Scrub this onto your scalp and hair. Let this mixture sit for about 20-30 minutes. If possible, concentrate these products on more the back of your head. Samples are most commonly taken from this area. Do not wash or condition. Rinse well. Use the conditioner treatment that usually comes with the hair colour kit. Instructions for this remedy vary - some recommend repeating once a day in the four or five days leading up to your test, while some recommend only one treatment.

Article in English: You will probably need to take some variation of the listed subjects in freshman year. If you can handle a larger work load, you may be put into Honors or Pre-AP classes.  Mathematics - Most Freshmen will take Algebra 1; however, if you took Algebra in 8th grade, you will take either Geometry or Algebra 2. This is a required class. Science - Freshmen take Earth Science most of the time. Depending on where you live, that will determine what science you take. Science gets more specific as you go along. This is a required class. English - As you go further into English, you will begin to focus more on literature and not so much grammar and spelling. This is a required class. Languages - Most high schools offer Latin, German, French, Spanish, and Sign Language. Gym - Gym is still required in most states for Freshmen and Sophomore year, but after that it can be taken by choice. Computers/Technology - While this class is not always required, it is one of the most useful classes you can take in High School. Electives - There are many different electives you can take in High School. You should pick them based on interest and what will help you later in life. Choose your electives very carefully. They're a lot of fun! If you can take tag, go for it. Don't be tempted to take classes just because they're easy-sounding. Take classes that sound interesting and you'll have a better time, even if they're difficult. Every single grade after you gets to pick first! No worries, you'll get your electives at some point.

Article in English: You will probably see a “belly button,” or umbilicus. This is usually located almost at the center of the belly, just below the rib cage. If the puppy was born within the last few days, the umbilical cord may still be attached. Once the umbilical cord shrivels and falls off -- which should happen within a few days -- there will be a little scar left behind on the belly. This scar is a slightly brighter color than the surrounding skin and feels a little bit thicker. If your puppy is male, there will be another small raised spot or “button” of flesh about an inch or so below the scar. This is the prepuce, or sheath, of the puppy’s penis. The prepuce will have a small hole at the center.  The prepuce may have little wispy hairs around it or even on it. Do not attempt to pull out or unsheathe a male puppy’s penis until the puppy is at least 6 months old. Dogs have an os penis, or “penis bone.” You may damage the penis or penis bone if you attempt to forcibly unsheathe a young male dog’s penis. Male puppies will have testicles, although you may not be able to feel them before they are 8 weeks old. If you can locate the testicles, they will be high up between the puppy’s hind legs. Depending on your puppy’s size, its testicles will be about the size of a lima bean. By 8 weeks old, the testicles are usually enclosed in the sack-like scrotum. Unlike male puppies, female puppies will have smooth bellies (other than their umbilicus scar). Females do not have a prepuce. A puppy’s anus is located directly under its tail. If your puppy is male, you will only be able to see its anus. If your puppy is female, you will see a raised, fleshy area just under the anus. This is the vulva. The vulva of a female puppy is small and leaf-shaped. It has a vertical slit. It is usually located almost directly between the puppy’s hind legs. The vulva may have some wispy hairs on it. Just like humans and other mammals, both male and female dogs have nipples. They will not inform you of a puppy’s sex. Puppies should have their first set of...

Article in English: You will probably use paper at some point during your crafting. Some types of paper that are good to have in a craft room are scrap book paper, wrapping paper, white cardstock, and color paper. Paper can be bought at craft stores and stored in its own compartment in a drawer or shelf. Coloring and painting supplies are necessary for decorating crafts. Some coloring supplies to invest in are colored pencils, crayons, markers, and sharpies. Painting supplies to buy are acrylic, oil, or watercolor paint, chalkboard paint, glitter paint, and brushes. You should also have a palette and cup available for mixing and applying paint. Glue, tape, and other adhesives will come in handy at some point during crafting. Mod Podge, Fabric glue, Elmer’s Glue, Super Glue, and a hot glue gun with glue sticks are some types of glues that are good to keep in a crafting space. For tape, scotch tape, double sided tape, command strips, and painters tape are helpful to keep around. You do not have to invest in all of the types of glues and tapes listed above all at once. Consider what type of crafting you will do most before purchasing supplies. It is helpful to have cutting supplies nearby during crafting. You should have at least one pair of regular sharp scissors, although it is good to have a few pairs available in different sizes. An X-acto knife and/or box cutter is needed for projects that require a more precise cut. You should also keep a cutting board near your scissors and razors to avoid cutting into the desk or floor. If you will be sewing, keep your supplies together in a corner of the room. This includes a sewing machine, needles, thread, or any other items you may need to sew. Keep your sewing supplies in a box or drawer close to the sewing machine. Random supplies are sure to accumulate after multiple crafting experiences. Keep these items in a separate box marked “miscellaneous.” It is also helpful to purchase some miscellaneous supplies to keep around. Some items that may be useful are stamps, stencils, stickers,...

Article in English: You will probably want to test at least six brands of vodka to make this a proper tasting experience. If you only test two or three brands, your party won’t last very long, and if you test more than six brands, you and your guests may become too inebriated to rate them properly! You won't be able to just cover up the label of the bottles since even the design of the bottles could give away what vodka it contains. The containers need to be freezer-proof.  Always serve vodka ice cold. If the ice in your sink or cooler starts to melt too fast, return the containers of vodka to the freezer before you pour the next tasting. Allow 1 ounce (30ml) of vodka for each guest for each brand to be rated. For example, if you are having six guests, you will need to pour 6 ounces (180ml) of each brand into the respective blind taste test containers. Write the codes down on a piece of paper as well so that you won’t forget which code goes with which brand. Keep the code in a safe place where the guests cannot see it.

Article in English: You will recall information more if you are engaged with it somehow.  That is why it is important to know what moves or interests you. Try experimenting with creative ways of studying so that even if you have an exam on a subject you find boring you will succeed where regular cramming would fail. Some ways to make studying more interesting and engaging include:  Make an idea map about the topic. Start by drawing a circle in the middle with the main topic written inside. Then draw circles that connect to this topic with the major factors of this topic. Continue branching off from the circles with new circles that go into greater detail. Discuss and debate the information with another person. Talking to someone else about what you're learning can be a great way to solidify the ideas in your head. Watch an interesting and visual film that deals with the information. Search online for an educational video about the topic you're learning about. Write a song about the topic. If you're into songwriting, this can be an effective way to greatly increase your engagement with the material. Songs stick in the mind a lot easier than book chapters. It's counter productive to stay up until the wee hours of the morning to tweak an essay due the next day, or to study "a bit more" information before an exam, because when the day arrives, you'll be exhausted and unable to perform at your best. At the same time, you also want to avoid procrastinating, and taking too many breaks, which will leave you with inadequate studying.   Set yourself concrete amounts of studying and break time. This will prevent you from accidentally burning yourself out with too much non-stop focus, and keep you from falling into the temptation of procrastination. Experiment with different combinations of study and break time to find out what works best for you. For example, with some subjects you might study best in 30 minute increments with 10 minutes of break time, and others might work better with hour long increments and 15 minutes of break time....

Article in English: You will see a list of sliders on the left side of the program and a hardware monitor on the right. You can also run GPU-Z now to have an additional monitor to verify readings. This slider controls the core clock speed of your GPU. If your card has a Shader Clock slider, make sure that it is linked to the Core Clock slider. You will see a link icon between the two if they are linked. When making adjustments to the speed of your clock for the first time, it is always advisable to go by small amounts, such as 10MHz. This amount allows you to see improvements, but not accidentally go overboard. If you do your game could crash. The changes should take effect immediately. Look at your readings in GPU-Z to ensure that the new speed is showing. Once you've made your first adjustment and verified it, it's time to run the benchmark program again and get your new score. When the benchmark program is running, pay attention to see if image quality or frame rate improves noticeably from the first time. If the benchmark program runs without any issue, then your overclock is stable so far and you can continue. Continue raising your speed in 10MHz intervals, checking the results in the benchmark program each time. Sooner or later, you'll start running into instabilities. Instabilities will manifest as black screens, graphical glitches, artifacts, bad colors, blotches, and more. Once you hit an instability, you can either revert your settings to the last speed that was working well, or you can try increasing your voltage. If you've seen noticeable improvements, or you don't want to risk damaging your card due to increasing the power flow, revert to the last working speed and skip down to Part Five. If you want to keep pushing your card, leave the speed as it is and move on to the next section.

Article in English: You will see a number between 1 and 7. This will tell you what kind of plastic the bottle is made out of. It may also determine whether or not it can be recycled by your local recycling center. If your bottle can't be recycled by your local recycling center, try reusing it or turning it into a craft project. Click here to get some ideas. Some recycling centers won't accept bottle caps. If this is the case, you can either discard it, find a place that does accept bottle caps, or turn the bottle cap into a craft project. If the recycling center does accept bottle caps, set it aside for later; you will need to clean the bottle first before you put the cap back on. Most recycling centers don't accept bottle caps because they are made out of a different type of plastic that the bottle is made out of. This may result in contamination during the recycling process. Fill the bottle partway with water, and put the cap on. Shake the bottle to slosh the water around. Open the bottle again, and pour the water out. If the bottle is still dirty inside, you may need to do this a second or third time. The bottle doesn't need to be perfectly clean, but there should be no residue inside it.  Skip it unless there's a compelling reason so you're not trading off one type of resource conservation with wasting another resource. Materials are washed during the recycling process, so unnecessary washing only leads to wasting water. You should be conscious of water usage, especially in areas that suffer from drought. If your recycling center accepts bottle caps, then put the cap back on the bottle. Some places don't care if there is a label or plastic seal on the bottle, while others do care (especially if they are buying the bottles back based on weight). If you plan on reusing the bottle for a craft project, you may want to remove the label as well for a cleaner finish. It is usually a good idea to recycle several bottles all at once, especially if you are planning on taking them to a recycling center. This will save you a few trips....

Article in English: You will see signs of aphids and caterpillars, pests that can destroy your petunias. You will want to get rid of them so that the petunias will keep thriving.  If you see that you have aphids make sure to get rid of them by spraying the petunias with a strong blast of water. Keep doing this until the aphids are gone. Watch for small black droppings and holes in leaves and buds which may indicate caterpillars are after your petunias. Treat with environmentally friendly insecticide. Sometimes the new flowers will wilt before they actually bloom. When this happens it's because you aren't watering them evenly. Allow the soil to dry out and water thoroughly. Make sure that you're watering at the base of the plant and not on the plant itself. There isn't a whole lot that you can do about diseases like soft rot and mold. However, if you live in a rainy area, you might try planting the rain-resistant multiflora, rather than one of the other petunia kinds. It's super important that you don't over-water. This can lead to problems with soft rot and mold.

Article in English: You will significantly reduce your risk of skin irritation if you wash your arms before shaving your arms with a traditional razor blade. Remove any dirt and oils that have accumulated on your with a gentle cleanser. Rinse your arms thoroughly with warm water. Lubricants, such as shaving creams and gels, serve as a measure of protection against skin irritation and cuts. While you may coat your entire arm in shaving cream or gel, this may cause you to waste a large amount of the product. Instead, consider applying a lubricant to sections of your arms throughout the process of shaving. Once you have finished with a section, apply shaving gel or cream to an unshaven area of your arm. Divide your arms into small, manageable sections to shave.  Shave from the inside of your wrist, up the top of your forearm, and stop at your elbow. Gradually work your way across the forearm to the outside of your wrist, shaving in straight, even lines. Repeat on the other arm. Shave the upper part of your arm—from your elbow to your shoulder—in the same manner. Repeat on the other arm. Bend your elbow to tighten the skin. Slowly move the razor across the delicate skin of your elbow. Repeat on the other elbow. If you are shaving your arms for swimming, it is recommended that you do not shave the underside of your arms. The hair on this part of your body allows you to feel the water as you are moving through it. After you have shaved both arms, rinse them off under the warm water of your shower. The warm water helps to combat irritation. It may prevent the appearance of razor burn the next day.

Article in English: You will use some air for priming and testing your sprayer, so let it build up pressure while you get your paint ready. The compressor should have a regulator to allow you to set the pressure for the sprayer correctly; otherwise, fluctuations will occur as the pressure rises and falls while you are spraying. The exact amount will vary depending on your sprayer, so look at the manual (or the equipment itself) for details. Make sure it is tight; you may want to wrap the threads with Teflon tape to insure an airtight seal. This does not apply if your sprayer and hose are equipped with quick connect couplings. (This is the reservoir attached to the bottom of your spray gun.) Use just enough to submerge the siphon tube in it. This is usually the lower of two screws above the handle (pistol grip) of the sprayer. Aim the nozzle into a waste bucket and squeeze the trigger. It usually takes a few seconds for the sprayer system to prime with liquid, so at first, only air will come out of the nozzle. After a moment, you should get a flow of paint thinner. If no thinner comes out of the nozzle, you may have to disassemble the sprayer to check for stoppages or loose seals in the siphon tube assembly. A funnel helps, here, so you can return it to the original container. Mineral spirits and turpentine (two common thinners) are flammable solvents, and should only be stored in their original containers.

Article in English: You will use thin set mortar to attach the tiles to the wall or other tiling surface. You'll need to mix the mortar according to the package instructions, but generally you want to start with the powder and add water very gradually. When the mortar has a consistency like peanut butter, you've got the right amount of water. Mix only what you can spread in 20 minutes. Let the mortar sit for 10 minutes, stir it up again and then it's ready to use. Spread the mortar using a notched trowel in a roughly 3'x3' space. Spread the mortar out and then use the trowel to create straight, parallel lines in the mortar. These will help the tiles adhere to the wall. You might want to do a test tile first, however, in order to make sure that your mortar is the right consistency. Place a tile down and them pull it back off: when you set the tile on the mortar, if the mortar comes up between the tiles so that it is even with the face of the tile, then your mortar is too thick or maybe wet. If you see lines of mortar on the back of your tile when you pull it up, then your mortar is too dry or the bed of mortar is too thin. Talk to your local hardware store about the trowel size that they would recommend for your particular project. Usually, glass tiles come in sheets and trowel with smaller notches will be needed. However, if you are using larger glass tiles that are not in a sheet, the average 3/8" trowel will probably be better. With the mortar in place, you can start setting out your tiles or tile sheets. Simply press them firmly into the mortar; push it solidly against the surface but remember that it's not toothpaste. You don't want to push the tile so that you disturb the mortar. You just want to get the tile to stick. Try to start in a corner or against a wall, to cut down on the amount of cutting and sizing that you need to do. Insert tile spacers between the tiles or tile sheets as you go. If you are using tile sheets, you can cut the sheets as needed to create a sheet of any size or shape for your project. You can also...

Article in English: You will usually be placing your barrel under, or attached to, one of your existing downspouts. However, you need to ensure that the rain barrel uses a diverter or has an overflow to get rid of water pooling at your home's foundation. If it's possible, extend the downspout piping to a location for the barrel that is a few feet away from the house to avoid overflow saturating the foundation.  A full rain barrel can weigh more than 400 pounds, so make sure you don't place it on anything that can't take this weight, or where it might do damage if knocked over. Keep the barrel as low as possible for more stability, placing it on a wide, solid base. Secure ratchet strap(s) around the barrel and anchor them firmly to either the house or two ground anchors, placing the straps in an 'X'. Tightly pull the straps downward to add stability. Posts could also be placed into the ground to serve as a backstop and anchor for the barrel. This will depend on the size of your property, but the standard size is 55 gallons (208.2 L). You can use plastic, rubber, or even wood. Metal can be used but is often not recommended. Just make sure your material is sealed and treated to hold water for a long time without leaking, rusting, rotting or decaying chemicals into the water.  Look for food grade barrels that are sold new or even used from restaurants, food distribution centers, commercial food processing plants, and similar businesses. There are 3 types of plastics that are very harmful to humans and should be avoided. You can identify them by their recycling number. The numbers to look for include #3 Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), #6 Polystyrene (PS), and #7 Polycarbonate. This may not be a big deal if your barrel is new, but make sure you remove any debris that may be left inside. Start by washing it well with warm water and dish soap, scrubbing the sides if needed. Dump the soapy water and rinse it well. Then sanitize the barrel using unscented household bleach diluted with water. Mix 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of bleach into 1 quart (.94...

Article in English: You will want a container tall and wide enough to easily contain all of the documents and liquids you are pulping. Similarly, the material needs to be strong enough so that it won’t deteriorate or lose its form when in contact with bleach and water. Since you will be using roughly 22L of liquid to dissolve the documents, choose a trashcan that is greater than or equal to 30L. This will give you enough room to properly churn the documents. Plastic trashcans work well and can withstand the effects of diluted bleach.  Large plastic trashcans are available at home improvement and construction stores, as well as general commodity stores like Kmart, Target, and Walmart. They are also available online. Remove the documents from any envelopes or packages. Many stores sell brand name and generic bleach with a 8.25% concentration; this is perfect for your purpose.Bleach is going to help break down the paper. Commonly used in the recycling of used paper, it will also destroy the colorants of ink. This will guarantee a more complete destruction of any secure information in your documents.  Bleach is a hazardous chemical and can cause serious illness if not safely used. Avoid contact with your skin and eyes; do not ingest bleach. Only mix bleach with water. Combining with other chemicals – such as ammonia or toilet bowl cleaners – can produce toxic, potentially deadly fumes.  It is advised to wear long sleeve clothing, pants, close toed shoes and an eye cover when working with bleach.  In the case you accidentally swallow any of the solution, immediately drink a small glass of water or milk. Call poison control at 1-800-222-1222. Although bleach is the more chemically harmful (and stronger) part of this mixture, simple water is doing a lot of the work. Once the paper is completely saturated, you’ll be able to reduce it to an unrecognizable pulp. All the documents need to be submerged so they are completely saturated and can be broken down. If you have more documents that liquids, then you can do one of two things: work in...

Article in English: You will want a straight section of branch that has very few twists and knots. The stave will be about 5 feet (1.5 m) long, so if you cut a branch down make sure not to split or crack the wood.  Some of the best bow woods include yew, ash, and hickory. Any hardwood should work OK in a pinch. The stave should be no more than 2 inches (5.1 cm) in diameter. Hold the stave upright, with a loose grip on the top and the bottom set against your foot. Gently push the center of the stave. The piece of wood will rotate and the natural curve of the wood will point away from you. This will show you the “inside” and the “outside” of the bow. You will be making cuts to the inside of the bow, but the outside must be left untouched. Any cuts made to the outside of the bow will severely affect the integrity of the bow, and will lead to it breaking early. Find the middle of the stave. Make marks approximately three inches out from the center in each direction. This will be the handhold. Like the back, it will remain untouched to keep the tension from snapping the bow in half.

Article in English: You will want peanut butter, some jam or jelly, and some bread. You may also want to grab some butter, as butter can enhance the flavor of the sandwich. There are lots of different kinds of bread and spreads to choose from, so you'll have to do a little experimenting to know what you like.  Lots of types of peanut butter come with lots of added sugar and partially hydrogenated oils that are bad for your health. If you're looking for a healthier option, try an organic peanut butter. Natural peanut butter may have a layer of oil on top, but if you carefully stir it in when you open the jar and then keep the jar of peanut butter in the refrigerator, the oil will not separate out again. There are lots and lots of flavors for jellies and jams. The two most commonly used are grape and strawberry. However, you could branch out to a sharper taste like raspberry, or a mixture of several different kinds. For your bread you'll probably want something that doesn't overwhelm your other flavors (like a rye or sourdough), so you'll probably want to go for plain whole wheat or white. Just make sure that you wash your hands afterwards, because you'll be certain to get the gooey mixture of peanut butter and jelly on them.

Article in English: You will want the land to be flat, so don't go crazy creating your landscape. The city needs to be flat because industrial zones don't do well on crooked land. Do not add any residential zones. Instead of adding another power plant to this city, you can drag power lines to the edge of the town and create a neighbor connection. Accept the power deal that is offered to you. That way, you are buying power for a small price instead of maintaining your own. You should see factories and other buildings develop very rapidly. This is because the demand for jobs in your other city is high because it offers only a handful of jobs. Demand will always "flow" between cities. They will work in this industrial city. Once development tapers off, save and exit to your region.    Remove the small amount of industry you put there earlier. Most of your Sims now work in the industrial city. A very small amount still work at the power plant. Keep zoning low density residential until development tapers off. Once your residential city has a population of over 1,100 Sims, you can start zoning medium density. Make sure you provide those zones with water. A community of well-educated Sims attracts wealthy businesses to your Commercial city well and High-Tech Industry to your Industrial one. Add health care facilities to ensure your Sims live to ripe old age. As your population grows, demand for industrial jobs grows. And in turn, the industrial development will attract new Sims to your Residential city. Once you seem to have a strong pattern going between your two cities, it is time to create a new city. If the road or roads going into the industrial city are getting overcrowded, you may try upgrading to an avenue, to handle the extra traffic.

Some may be full time, some may be part time, and some may be only a few hours a month. You will need to decide what fits best with your schedule, especially if you will need to hold down a second job while working the internship. You will need to figure out the furthest you are willing to commute in relation to the time commitment of the internship. This will limit the areas in which you can look for an internship. Some internships don’t pay, some pay only a very small amount, and some pay like any entry level position. You will need to determine what your budget is and if you can afford to have an unpaid internship. If you cannot, you may need to have another job on the side.

Article in English: You will want to do this to get any of the pee out of the fabric.   This can help you get rid of a urine smell as well. If you can do so discreetly, splash water on the stain in the restroom. If not, get a wet paper towel and rub the stain in the bathroom stall in privacy. You will probably want to try to get any smell or stains out of your underwear as well. Do this in the bathroom stall so no one else notices. This will get most of the moisture out of your pants and/or underwear.  Use plenty of paper towels. Dab away at the stain slowly. When you can't soak up any more moisture with paper towels, try using the hand dryer. Walk up to it and point the stain towards the air.   Stand with your legs apart. This will help you get dry faster. Sway your hips as you dry the stain to get all wet areas. Stand in front of the dryer until your pants feel dry. Touch them to make sure they don't feel wet. See if there is any noticeable wet spot on your pants.  If there is, try soaking up more moisture with paper towels. Follow up with the hand dryer. Once you are dry, you can go back to what you were doing if you can't find an excuse to leave. This will help to clean the urine smell out of your pants.  You can try rubbing a tiny little bit of soap into the pants. Put some in your hand and rub it into the pants when you get into a bathroom stall. Dry up the stain with paper towels and dry it with a hand dryer. Smell your pants to see if there is a noticeable smell. This can help cover up a smell in your clothes.

Article in English: You will want to fix your safe between studs to allow it to be recessed inside your wall and thus less noticeable. Use a stud finder to locate the studs behind the wall by running the stud finder across your wall. The tool will have an indicator to show when it has found a stud.  Stud finders can be purchased from your local hardware store. If you don’t have a stud finder you can knock on the wall and listen for a hollow or solid sound. If the sound is hollow then the location is probably between studs; if it sounds solid then there is likely a stud in this location. Knock a nail into the wall. As you hammer you will be able to feel if you hit a stud by the way the nail goes into the wall. These holes will be covered once you have installed your wall safe. Use a pencil to mark the locations of the studs on the wall. This will help orient your lines when you cut out the section of the wall. After you’ve found a good safe and a place to install it between studs, you are ready to cut into your wall. Cut out a small square of space big enough for your hand to fit through. If you find wires you need to be extra careful to go around them or reroute them. If you find plumbing in the way you may need to find a new location. If the wall is clear, you are ready to cut out a space for your safe. If something is in the way and you are not confident in your ability to safely move or go around it, the best option is to find a new section of wall. Mark the four corners of your square hole using a pencil. Use a level to make level lines between the four corners. It is essential that the top and bottom are parallel with the ground while the sides are parallel with your studs.  The hole should be close enough to a stud so that you can attach it to your safe later. Make sure to measure and level correctly so that you don’t end up with an uneven or wrongly sized hole. Use your drywall saw to cut along the marked lines. Start with the bottom edge of the opening and then cut the sides. You should cut the top line last to make sure...

Gather your clothes and toiletries for the next day and place them on a shelf or somewhere where they will stay dry. Find an outlet for your phone.  Make sure you will be able to reach your phone from the tub so you can see what time it is and use it as an alarm in the morning. Bring in anything you will use to entertain yourself, like a tablet, laptop, or a book to read. If there is only one bathroom available, it’s best to be on the same page so everyone can agree on how to deal with the situation. You don’t want someone turning on the shower on you in the morning!  Decide what you will do if someone else needs to use the bathroom during the night. Agree on what time will be reasonable for you to wake up and get out of the bathtub so others can use it for showers in the morning. It’s time to get in the tub and start snoozing, so get comfy.  Position yourself with your head on the opposite side of the tub from the tap. That way if you forget where you are and sit up you won’t bump your head or face on the faucet. Use the fan for white noise if you need to block out background noise to sleep better.  Turn out the lights.  If you think you might wake up and be disoriented, use a nightlight. That will also help your roommates in case they forget you’re in there and you startle them.

Follow these tips to pick the right formula for your skin:  If you have dry skin -- Choose a foundation that is specifically designed for hydration. Liquids and stick foundation are creamier and may help moisturize your skin. Be careful; your skin may become sticky after application, but you can use a powder foundation to mask this. If you have oily skin -- Choose a foundation that is oil free. Oils in foundation may cause your skin to become more oily. Using a powder foundation may help absorb your skin’s natural oils, letting your skin have a matte, healthy look. If you have a combination of oily/dry skin -- Choose both a creamy and a powder foundation! You can strategically apply both foundations to help create an even and healthy skin tone. Pick a foundation that looks well under harsh lighting conditions. Try out foundation looks before applying it for a pageant.

Article in English: You will want to reach out to potential customers in ways that make them want to use your business. This is especially important when you are first starting before you have an established, regular customer base.  Advertise in a way that catches customers attention at a minimum and hopefully goes beyond to capture their imagination. Be creative and appeal to the right aspects of the customers you want to use your business. Offer free samples of what you do to the right people, in order to get people saying good things about what you have to offer. Word of mouth (i.e. good PR) is the best way to attract new customers. If you get bad reviews or negative feedback, respond positively and fix the problem. People will be much less judgmental about mistakes if you're willing to fix them. Go to conferences, charity galas, meetings with complementary businesses and anywhere where your customers are likely to be highly concentrated. In other words: get out in public and interact with people. Use your friend's connections to meet people who may be able to help you. This kind of interaction is very important for starting a business. You can't exist in a vacuum after all. Be good at interacting with people. Practice reading between the lines of what people say. Learn how to meet needs they didn't know they had. Figure out how to make people happy. Be charming. Most importantly, be humble. The customer may not always be right but you need to be able to let them think they are. The world has moved online. Any business that wants to survive the next ten years is going to have a website. People will use it to contact you, find your location, learn your operating hours, ask you questions, make suggestions, and maybe even buy your products or services. In having a website and services which are available over the internet, you will be able to expand your service area out across your region or even the world.

Article in English: You will want to select a low-hanging tree branch that requires the squirrels to do some maneuvering to reach it, but that still rests in a comfortable line of vision for you viewing pleasure. In this case, twisted coat hangers or fishing-wire with a high tensile strength will suffice. Hang these wires with roughly six inches to one foot of slack around the tree limb. This will require that squirrels maneuver to get to the food without providing a major obstacle to them. Try attaching corn cobs to a bungee cord which is then hung from a tree limb or platform. Squirrels will perform acrobatics in an effort to feed on the corn, which is entertaining to watch. Once the wires are fastened to the tree branch, create a mechanism at the end of each wire capable of holding an ear of corn. The simplest way to do this is to twist a loop into the wire hangers that will support an ear of corn or tie a loop into fishing-wire. Attach whole ears of corn into the loops you created at the end of your wires. Make sure they are securely fastened, as they will need to support the weight of squirrels climbing on and hanging off of them. If the squirrels knock the corn to the ground, it largely defeats the purpose of employing a hanging feeder which is designed to make the squirrels “work” for the food. Now that the hanging wires have been stocked with corn, sit back and enjoy watching the squirrels perform various physical and acrobatic feats to get to the food supply. Be sure to replace exhausted ears of corn to keep the squirrels coming back.

Article in English: You will want to sew on the side that will be the inside of your hat. Remember that you can stretch the fabric to find what side is the back if it is not obvious. The side the fabric curls towards, when stretched, is the back. You want the good sides facing each other. Follow the curve with your sewing machine (1/4 inch seam allowance) to attach the two pieces, almost like a book. Use a straight stitch. Make sure the overlap goes wrong-side-out, on the side that will soon be the inside of your hat. You will need to feed your fabric through the machine in a curved motion so that it follows the dome shape. When you get to the last side, pin the sides together and sew from the bottom of the hat to the top of the last dart tip. You should end up with four sewed together pieces. Take two of your book-like domes and place them together, good sides touching. Then pin them at the top, matching along the center seam. Try to make sure the seams both face the opposite way to prevent getting bulky. Do this with all four books, so you end up with two sets of matching fabrics pinned together. This will finally attach each of the four pieces of matching fabric into a "mini-beanie." Simply sew along the entire long edge of the dome, using the same 1/4 inch seam allowance, and a straight stitch. Repeat with the other set of fabric, leaving your two small beanies. Measure and fold a 3-inch (7.3-cm) hem at the bottom of your hat. You will now make the band at the bottom of your hat. Touch the shorter sides together, matching them up perfectly, then sew the two short ends together so you end up with a fabric ring. Repeat with the other hem piece. Wrap the ring of fabric around your hat, lining up the seam of the ring with one of the hat's seams. Pin it here and on the opposite side. Then use as many pins as you need to match up the edges, lining them up so you can sew them cleanly. You want the good side of the hat fabric to be touching the good side of the hem fabric. Remember to stretch to check if need be. You may need to...

Article in English: You will want to spend a lot of time practicing before delivering your presentation. Make sure that your speech matches well with your slides. You will also want to be sure you know how to time your speech, especially if you want to put the presentation on automatic, rather than having to stop or refocus to change slides. Don't use your slides as a crutch. They're there to add to your speech, not carry it along. If you present as if there were no slide, by being an engaging, enthusiastic speaker, your audience will be enthralled and remember your presentation for years to come. Don't ramble. Don't include information you don't need. Tell your audience what they need to know and don’t take any more time than you need to get there. Use bullet points for important information and expand on it while presenting instead of writing a long paragraph and reading it word for word. Remember, presentations should never be more than 20 minutes long. If you are a teacher with time to fill, break up presentations with activities. Having to listen to a presentation for more than 20 minutes will cause most people to disengage, which is not what you want to happen. Find ways to inspire your audience. You want to give them an emotional connection to the material you are presenting. This will make them more invested in the information and will also help the retain the information more accurately and for longer. Be enthusiastic about what you are presenting and make the audience understand why it’s important. It’s not enough to show why your information is important to someone else; you have to make it important to your audience. Make them understand why they should care. For example, don’t give a lecture on history and just expect students to care. You need to show them how that history directly ties to current events and affects their lives. Look for parallels and direct correlations to tie your information to your audience.

Article in English: You will want to take regular showers every day.  This means scrubbing your body with soap and warm water, making sure to get the particular sweaty areas like underneath your arms.  Shampoo your hair, and apply conditioner so that your hair is nice and soft to the touch.  An older girl likes a guy that takes care of himself, and presents himself positively towards the world.  After you get out of the shower, put some deodorant on.  Make sure to use plenty, and rub it in pretty firm.  You don't want to have sweat stains when you go talk to an older girl. You can even add some lotion to your hands to make them soft.  If your hands are rough, the girl might not want you to touch her. If you decide you want a beard, that is fine.  You will want to make sure you have enough facial hair to qualify as a beard.  Small, light hairs around the face are unattractive, especially to older girls.  It makes you look like you are going through puberty, rather than being a grown man.  Make sure you trim the beard as well.  Don't let it grow wild.  Use razors and trimmers regularly to clean it up, nice and neat.  The shaved look is much easier to maintain.  Remember to shave using a razor and shaving cream every morning.  Some girls like a little stubble, but you shouldn't grow it past that point.  Older girls love a clean shaven man. Don't forget as well to trim elsewhere, besides your face.  Take some of that overgrown chest hair off, and maintain the hair between your legs.  This shows older girls that you care about your appearance and how you present yourself. Older girls like to know that their guy takes care of himself, and that he wants his breath smelling nice and fresh.  Brush your teeth (two minutes) twice a day, once in the morning and at night.  Floss after you are done brushing in order to get rid of food stuck between your teeth.  Then finish off with a mouthwash that cleans your entire mouth, and leaves it smelling fresh. Keep breath mints or chewing gum around in case you haven't brushed your teeth in a while....

Article in English: You will want to treat your wood furniture gently to avoid stripping off the finish or causing any permanent damage.  Vacuum the soot off the furniture using a flat attachment. Do not rub the attachment along the wood, as this can grind soot into the wood. If your wood furniture is finished, you can consider using the brush attachment and gently rubbing the bristles along the surface of the furniture. Wipe the wood with a dry chemical sponge. This is similar to the process of removing soot from the walls. Wipe the dry sponge along the surface of the wood in straight lines until the sponge turns black with soot. Rinse the sponge and let it dry. Restore the wood with polish. Use a cream restoration polish for best results, and do not leave the cream on the wood for more than 5-10 minutes. Consider using a polish like Restore It Cream Furniture Polish. You can also use a spray like Pledge. Cleaning leather furniture can be tricky because it must be treated gently and cannot be shampooed like a fabric. Using a gentle deodorizer can help you effectively remove the smoke smell from your leather furniture.  Vacuum the soot off the furniture using a flat attachment. Do not rub the attachment along the surface of the leather furniture, as this can grind the soot in to the furniture further. Apply saddle soap or leather soap to a clean cloth and wipe the leather with it. Follow the instructions on the bottle for best results. Spray the leather with a half-vinegar half-water mixture mixed in a spray bottle. Because you cannot shampoo leather, this is your best bet for removing an odor. Wipe off this mixture, and then wipe furniture with a clean damp rag. Do not saturate the leather. Steam cleaning can also be effective for leather furniture. You can buy a steam cleaner for your home or hire professionals to do it for you. Sprinkle baking soda liberally over the leather and allow it to sit overnight. Vacuum it up in the morning, and repeat if needed. Remember to clean each cushion and pillow separately if your furniture...

Article in English: You will want to use lukewarm water, as warm or hot water may damage the leather soles of your Rainbow sandals. Add a drop or two of dish soap and stir to combine. Dip a corner of a clean rag into the soapy water, and squeeze it a bit to get rid of excess water. Gently dampen and wipe off dirty areas with small circular motions.  If there are any particularly dirty areas that are too much for the wet cloth to handle, a soft bristled brush like an old toothbrush can come in handy.  Take care only to rub hard enough to dislodge dirt, without damaging the leather. Using a clean paper towel, wipe off any dampness on your sandals. Make sure to do a thorough job, as soap residue can damage the leather. It’s a good idea to let them air dry in the sun before you wear them again, just to be sure they have totally dried off.

Article in English: You will want to wash your shoes, laces, and insoles separately as this will cut down on the drying time later. You can, however, wash your laces with your shoes in the washing machine, but doing so with your insoles will leave them water-logged for days. If your laces are real scuzzy, you may want to buy new ones, but you can always try cleaning them by scrubbing them with a soapy brush or putting them in the washing machine with your shoes. Then allow them to air dry completely before putting them on your shoes again.  Another way to clean your laces is to simply put or pin them inside a pillowcase, or tie their ends together, and throw them in the washer. This will keep them from getting stuck in the washer's drainage holes.  If the laces are white and the shoes are colored, to get the laces as bright as possible you could wash them separately in a normal wash along with other white laundry. Powdered detergent can get stuck in your shoes, so use liquid detergent. You can also add some vinegar to remove odors and some pine oil to disinfect them. If you add pine oil, the product should be at least 80% pine oil. Set your washing machine to the delicate setting, cold temperature, slow or no spin, and no tumble drying. Warm temperatures can warp your sneakers, and the fast spin or tumble dry setting can damage your shoes or washing machine. Once the washing machine has stopped, remove your shoes from the pillowcase and set them aside to air dry. Putting them in the dryer is not advisable, as the dryer can warp the soles of your shoes.  Stuffing your shoes with paper towels or newspapers will help them dry faster as well as maintain their shape.  Place your shoes (and laces and insoles) in a moderately lit place to dry. Do not put them somewhere hot (e.g. near a radiator) or in direct sunlight, as this may damage the shoes. It may take several hours or even a couple days for your shoes to dry completely, so plan ahead!  If you're in a rush and need to use the dryer, wrap your shoes in a towel and set the dryer...

Article in English: You win a soccer match by scoring more goals than the opponent scores. A goal is scored when the whole ball passes the opponent’s goal line within the net area.  Goalies, when in their own penalty area, are the only players on the field (also called a pitch) who can use their arms or hands. All other players may use any part of their bodies except their arms and hands. A regulation game (also called a match) is typically 90 minutes long, made up of 2 halves of 45 minutes each. There are 11 total players (per team) on the field to start the game. Although the positions can be rearranged however the coach sees fit, there are usually 4 defenders, 4 midfielders, 2 strikers, and 1 goalie.  Defenders usually stay behind the midfield line in an effort to help prevent the other team from scoring. They need to make good outlet (clearing) passes and are usually bigger physically than other players. Midfielders do the most running, as they play a combination of defense and offense. They usually orchestrate the attack and need to be good at holding onto the ball and passing. Forwards/strikers get the most cracks at shooting the ball. They need to be quick, agile, and able to shoot with power and accuracy within seconds. They are often the fastest players on the field. The goalie protects the 18-yard penalty area and is the only player who can use their hands (but only in their own penalty area). The goalie has to be agile, flexible, quick to anticipate, and good at communication. At the time of kickoff, each team's players need to be entirely on their own half of the field and the opposition must not be within the center circle as the 10-yard mandatory distance on a restart. Once the whistle has blown and the ball is kicked, the laws allow it to go backwards or forwards , the players can move freely into both halves of play. One team starts the game by winning the coin toss to choose a side, the opposite team gets to kick off. Teams change sides at halftime and the team who did not kick off does so in the 2nd half....

Article in English: You won't be able to concentrate well in school if you keep on having to mess with your bangs. Luckily, bobby pins and headbands come in many different colors and patterns—try getting some that match your outfit or your school's colors. You can use a metal or plastic headband, or a cloth one that wraps around your entire head. Headbands work on just about any hair length. For a chic, boho look, choose a flower crown or wrap a colorful scarf around your head, like a headband. You can purchase some simple clip-on bows and put then right above a ponytail, or you can tie a ribbon around the end of a braid. Keep up the school spirit by choosing your school colors. Putting a massive flower on your hair for school might be a bad idea because it might not only get you into trouble, but it might also earn you a few mean laughs. Consider using a small hair accessory or two instead.

Article in English: You won't be able to force your cat to do anything, let alone to trust you. Instead, the cat has to be convinced that they'll benefit from an action. For example, maybe they'll give up their nap if you offer them their favorite treat. Don't be offended if they decide not to be persuaded. By nature, cats often choose to remain aloof or unpredictable. Your cat will have a harder time accepting you if you're chaotic and noisy. Cats dislike stress, noise, or a lot of activity. Your cat will accept you faster if you're calm and relaxed around them. A good way to make your cat comfortable is to give the cat their own space. A comfortable, warm place to sleep, eat, play and excrete/urinate. Another point is to look in pet stores and maybe even ask staff about cat shelves. These can be nailed to a wall in whatever position suits you and your cat so they have somewhere to look over the room and feel safe up there. There will be times when your cat feels insecure, scared, or anxious. Give them plenty of hiding places to go to when feeling frightened, like a closet or spot under the bed. It's fine to know where their hiding place is, but don't force your cat out of it unless you absolutely have to. You should also make sure your cat can access high perches (like window ledges, furniture, or a high cat scratch platform) and toys for when they're bored and want to look around or play.  Immediately creating a safe and secure place is important. If you're trying to gain the trust of a new cat, keep them in one room so they can get familiar with their territory without feeling overwhelmed.  You should also take care to set the litter box in a private corner of the room. It should be away from anything noisy, like a dryer) and she should feel protected when she uses it (the 2 walls will offer this protection if it's in a corner). Feed your cat on a regular basis so she understands that you provide food and shelter. When you set the food down, talk in a soft sing-song voice so she starts recognizing your voice and associating...

Article in English: You won't do well on a physics test if you cram all of the important information the night before. Make a point to learn, understand, and practice physics problems a couple of days or even weeks before the exam is scheduled so that you are fully prepared when test day comes. Having a good grasp on the information that will be on the test will make you more confident when you take it. You can determine what will be on the exam based on the topics you’ve covered in class and any quizzes or homework that you’ve had thus far. Take a look at the notes that you took in class and memorize and study equations and key concepts that will likely be used on the test. For example, you may be asked to define Newton’s first Law of Motion. You can write, "An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." Having the text in your mind before you go into physics class will make it easier to follow along with your teacher. Many physics concepts build from what you learned last. Determine the parts that you’re having trouble understanding and write down questions that you have for your teacher. For example, if you've already learned how to determine velocity, there's a good chance you'll review how to calculate average acceleration. Knowing the text in advanced will help you absorb the material better. Spend at least 2-3 hours studying and solving new equations outside of class for every 1 hour of class time. This repetition will help you comprehend concepts better and will prepare you to solve the questions on the exam. If you want, you can set a time limit on your answers to replicate the conditions in the exam. Scan through your homework and try to solve the questions that you struggled with or got incorrect. Many teachers will put equations on the exam that are similar to homework questions so review them all. You should even review the questions you got correct so that you can reinforce what will be on the exam.

Article in English: You won't have to force the dieting in order to shed those post baby pounds. Breastfeeding naturally burns calories (about 500 a day) and much of the weight will go away naturally as your body shrinks. Even your lactating breasts can add a couple pounds, so don't worry too much about dieting. Losing those 30 pounds will be easier than you think. This article will discuss healthy ways to keep you from putting on any more weight (and possibly even lose a small amount of weight), but in general you should wait until after you stop breastfeeding to start dieting.  For example, let’s say you normally ate about 2000 calories a day, pre-baby. During pregnancy, you gained 35 pounds. Now, you’ll lose about 9-10 pounds just by giving birth. You’ll lose another several pounds as your body naturally shrinks down and puts itself back together. Now for the rest of those pounds, right? A diet would normally involve cutting your calories intake by about 500 calories, which your body is already doing by making breast milk. Simply by feeding yourself a healthy diet and breastfeeding your baby, you will lose all of the baby weight in just a few months. The fact of the matter is that you’re supposed to eat more and be a little rounder when you’re pregnant and for a while after you have your baby. This is normal and healthy! By trying to get thin again so soon after your baby is born, you put yourself at risk. You may also be putting your child at risk, if your dieting choices lead you to an unhealthy diet. The diets that you normally consider when you think of dieting are largely going to hurt you and your baby. This is especially true of any diet which limits your food groups. You need to a widely varied diet in order to get the nutrients that your baby needs and keep your own body healthy. As a general rule, you want to eat healthy and exercise during this time, not do anything that that promises to drop X pounds in Y days.
