Article in English: Aries men can be domineering, which makes them hard to argue with. However, it’s important that you don’t let your Aries man walk all over you, or you could develop resentment and bitterness down the road. If you’re in a heated argument, don’t be afraid to say what’s on your mind. For example, if you're arguing and he's ignoring everything you're saying, you could say something like "You're not listening to anything I have to say right now. I'm not going to have this conversation with you until you start listening to me." Aries men hate to be blamed or told they acted wrongly. When it’s something big that genuinely hurt or upset you, you should tell your Aries man what he did wrong. But when you’re upset about something small — he left the milk out and it went bad, he forgot to lock the door, he didn’t call you when he said he would — a kind reminder is better. For example, instead of getting upset when he doesn't do the dishes, you could kindly say, "Hey, I did your dishes from earlier. It's fine, but would you mind doing them next time?" Aries men can be self-centered, and they devote a lot of energy to their personal goals and interests. If you feel like your dreams and personal needs are being overshadowed in the relationship, talk to your Aries man about it. Aries men like people that are passionate and driven. Telling him what you want will help get him on your side so he can start supporting you. Just don’t expect him to change his ways or make a lot of sacrifices to help you succeed. For example, you could tell your Aries man "I feel like I've been supporting your goals a lot lately, but I haven't been pursuing my own."

Summary in Russian:

Умейте постоять за себя, когда вы спорите друг с другом. Не обвиняйте его в мелочах, которые он делает неправильно. Не бойтесь говорить с ним о своих желаниях и потребностях.


Article in English: Aries men love their freedom and independence, and they can be turned off by people that try to control or restrain them. Make sure you give your Aries man the space to do his own thing, and avoid being needy or clingy. He’ll love you more for letting him be free.  If your Aries man constantly talks about how he’s dying to take a trip somewhere, be supportive and tell him he should go. Don’t try to stop him or take it personally if he doesn’t invite you along. Try to balance your needs with his. It’s OK to ask him to skip going out with his friends every once in a while so you can have a night in together, but don’t do it all the time or you could drive him away. Aries get bored easily, and they strongly dislike routines. Try to keep things fresh with your Aries man by surprising him with plans or trying something you’ve never done before. He’ll stick around longer if your relationship is fun and exciting.  Surprise your Aries man with a weekend getaway or road trip. Take him out for dinner and drinks on weeknights instead of staying in. Aries men love to argue — it’s like a sport to them. When you’re hanging out together, strike up an argument about a topic you’re both interested in, like sports, movies or music. Don’t let the argument turn into a fight; it should just be a friendly back and forth.  For example, if your Aries man says the best movie ever made was Avatar but you think it's Titanic, passionately make your case and let him make his. He'll love the friendly arguing. It doesn't matter who's right in the end. The arguing is just for fun. Aries men are confident in their sexuality, and they like people who are too. When you’re intimate together, don’t be afraid to let your hair down and feel sexy. If you're insecure or shameful of your body, learn to love yourself how you are. Stop comparing yourself with other people, and tell yourself you're beautiful every day. Exercising regularly can also boost your confidence and make you feel more comfortable in the bedroom. Experimenting with different...

Article in English: Aromatherapy uses the essential oils of various herbs to produce soothing scents. Apply a drop of peppermint oil, lavender oil, or lemon oil to both your wrists and your temples, then breathe deeply. Make sure you don’t have a skin sensitivity to the oil by first putting a single drop of oil on your wrist. If you have a sensitivity, then you may experience a rash, redness or itching.  If so, try a different oil or use a different method to deal with your nausea. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the body is seen as having a system of energy meridians throughout.  Applying needles (as in acupuncture) or pressure (as in acupressure) to specific points along these meridians can help to re-balance the energy and reduce feelings of nausea. Try the “P6,” “Neiguan” or “inner gate” point. This point is about two finger-widths below the crease of your wrists (at the base of the palms).  Start with your palms facing you. Feel for two tendons around the midpoint of that area above your wrist.  Using the index and middle finger of the opposite hand, apply firm, but gentle pressure for about 10–20 seconds and release. Make sure you repeat this process on the other arm as well. The University of Connecticut conducted a study which indicated that controlled, deep breathing can help to relieve nausea. Other studies have indicated that breathing can help control nausea after surgery. Try this exercise adapted from the University of Missouri at Kansas City:  Lie flat on your back and place pillows under your knees and neck to make sure that you are comfortable. Put your hands (palm down) on your stomach, right below the rib cage.  Place your hands over your belly with your fingers together. This way, you will be able to feel your fingers separate as you breathe in and this will let you know that you are doing the exercise correctly. Take a long, slow deep breath by expanding your belly, breathing like a baby breathes.  This ensures that you are using your diaphragm to breathe rather than your rib cage.  The diaphragm...

Article in English: Around a quarter of the human body cells are red blood cells, or erythrocytes. These RBCs are developed in the bone marrow produced at approximately 2.4 million red blood cells per second.  Erythrocytes circulate in the body for 100 to 120 days. It is the same reason why we can only donate blood once every 3 to 4 months. Men have an average of 5.2 million RBCs per cubic millimeter meanwhile 4.6 million in women. If you are a regular blood donor, you’ll notice that there are more men who passed the blood donation screening than women. The iron-rich protein known as hemoglobin is the main component of the red blood cells. It is responsible for the red color as iron binds with oxygen. Each hemoglobin molecule has four iron atoms and each of which binds to 1 oxygen molecule with 2 oxygen atoms. Around 33% of an erythrocyte is hemoglobin normally 15.5 g/dL in men and 14 g/dL in women. Red blood cells play an important role in transporting oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the tissues and cells. RBCs have cell membranes composed of lipids and proteins essential for physiological function while working within the capillary network through the circulatory system.  In addition, red blood cells aid in the removal of carbon dioxide. They contain the carbonic anhydrase enzyme which allows for a reaction of water and carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid and separate hydrogen and bicarbonate ions. Hydrogen ions bind with hemoglobin while bicarbonate ions go to the plasma removing approximately 70% of carbon dioxide. Twenty percent of carbon dioxide binds with hemoglobin which then released in the lungs. Meanwhile, the remaining 7% gets dissolved in the plasma.

Article in English: Arrange a time to chat over text, or wait to call until you think she will be free. Don’t inconvenience her or make her choose between you and her friends or family. Call after drama club, soccer practice, her shift at the coffee shop, or family dinner. Text her a few hours before you want to talk: Hey, will you be free to chat tonight? or Can I call you at 7? Be flexible and work out a mutually convenient time. If she's busy:Don't: get irritated or sullen.Do: say How about tomorrow night? or Good luck on your midterm! Talk this weekend?

Don’t call when you are hanging out with other people, and don’t put her on speaker phone without her permission. She is giving you the gift of her time, and you should do the same. Most young people believe that multitasking takes away from conversation. Let her know that her conversation is the most important thing in the world. Don’t text, chat online, watch TV, or talk to other people while you are talking with your girlfriend.

Article in English: Arrange a time to sit down with your parents and ask for the money. You want your parents to know that you aren't taking this situation lightly, and you'd only be asking if you needed it. You'll come across as more serious and sincere if you set up a time beforehand, rather than having a quick phone call or just casually asking for the money in passing. Depending on how large a sum you're asking for, you might want to bring some paperwork to your discussion with your parents. Show them how you calculated the exact amount that you need. Indicate how much you've been able to save to pay for the item, then ask for the remaining amount.  If you're asking for money for a specific item, find it online and print out the price. If you'd like extra money you can use as a cushion, be upfront about that. Tell them that if they give you a certain amount now, you'll be able to get on your feet and won't have to ask again. If you're going to pay them back, you might want to provide a printed installment plan or schedule they can keep. This shows that you're serious about making good on your promise. You probably have a fairly good picture of what your parents' finances are like. Still, it's better not to assume they can give or even loan you a large amount of money. Ask them if they feel comfortable with the amount you're asking for. They may tell you they simply can't afford it, or that they'd be able to give you a partial amount. Asking for money is a big favor, and your parents are entitled to making a few stipulations. They may say that they'll give you just a part of what you're asking for, or perhaps they'll say they can loan you the money if you pay it back within a short time. Your first inclination might be to get upset or angry that they didn't give you what you wanted with no strings attached. However, if you want or need the money, you'll have to accept what comes with it.  It's possible that your parents will decline to give you the money. If that's the case, see if there's anything you can do to make them...

Article in English: Arrange ahead of time to take a towel or blanket your new kitten slept on from her old home. Having a familiar scent will make the adjustment much easier. Use this blanket or towel in the carrier on the way home and leave it there for your cat to sleep on. The carrier will keep your kitten safe and help her feel more secure. Place a towel in the carrier for warmth and to absorb urine in case of an accident. Don’t use another pet’s carrier, as the smell of another animal can be stressful to the kitten. Provide your kitten with her own small room or space. It should be quiet and out of the way. The space should have a bed, water, kitten food, a litter box, scratching post, and safe toys.  Whether you use a cardboard box or a bed purchased from a pet store, consider lining it with an old sweatshirt so your kitten can grow accustomed to your scent. Be sure the room or space has places to hide. If there is no furniture to hide behind, put cardboard boxes in the room with holes cut into them for your cat to enter. Place her carrier in the room, open the door, and let her come out when she’s ready. Leave the carrier in the room as another hiding place. You will likely want to hold and pet your kitten continuously. Don’t. Your kitten needs time to adjust to her new environment, including the people in it. Introduce one family member at a time, and take it slow, letting your kitten come to you.  Be sure to teach young children how to interact with your kitten properly, including how to safely hold her. Do not allow children under 5 to interact with the kitten. It is unsafe for the cat. When your kitten is eating, drinking, and using the litter box regularly, that is a sign that she is comfortable in her room and you can start introducing her to the rest of your home one room at a time. Place her open carrier in a room and let her explore on her own. After exploring, bring your kitten back to her den for at least a few hours before exploring the next room. If your kitten climbs on something – a bookshelf, bed, etc. –...

Article in English: Arrange the cod fillets in a single layer in a microwave-safe 11- by 7-inch (28- by 18-cm) baking dish. Cover the dish with a lid, paper towel, or microwave-safe plastic wrap.  Keep the cod in a single layer in the baking dish. Do not stack the fillets since doing so will cause them to cook unevenly. If this dish is too large for your microwave oven, you may need to cook the cod in batches in a smaller dish. With the dish still covered, cook the cod for 6 minutes on full power. If your microwave does not have a rotating tray, pause the cooking process at the 3-minute mark and turn the dish 180 degrees before you continue cooking. Remove the baking dish from the microwave and uncover. Pour the broth and lemon juice into the dish and use a fork or spatula to flip the fillets over, coating both sides. Sprinkle the top of each fillet with the pepper and parsley. If desired, you could use other seasonings, like 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) garlic powder, along with the pepper and parsley. Cover the dish once more and cook the fish for another 4 to 5 minutes, until it becomes opaque and can be easily flaked with a fork. If the microwave does not have a rotating tray, pause the cooking process halfway through and turn the dish 180 degrees before finishing the cooking process. Wait 5 minutes before transferring the cooked cod fillets onto individual serving platters.

Article in English: Arrange them by date so that the one you are having first comes at the top, then your next exam, then the next etc.  Read the syllabus that comes with your classes.  By the time finals roll around, your time is precious -- every minute counts. Which is why scheduling is essential during the weeks (er, days) prior to exams. So as not to go totally bonkers during this stressful time, make a realistic study schedule for yourself, too. Leave yourself time for breaks -- you'll be taking them anyway -- and be sure to prioritize according to which class you'll need to study for the most. The syllabus is one of the most important papers your professor will give you. Hold onto it! Use it when you're studying for your finals as a sort of outline. It may also make it clear what topics your instructor finds interesting and important -- certain topics may pop up more than others and those are definitely the ones to crack down on. Do you have to study just words?  If yes, type them out in a word processor and print them. The words you already know should not be on the list. Make absolutely sure that you know them before you take them off the list! Repeat every word 10 times and you will remember. Go through your notes and highlight major vocabulary words and concepts (in different colors!). Manipulate the material to your liking. Create charts and index cards to help yourself study. Make cards in different categories -- some for terms and/or concepts, some for formulas, and some for specific quotes from reading assignments. And if they're in your class, all the better (for them and you). However, make sure it's someone who's serious about studying -- goofing off together won't be very productive. A friend is beneficial if you can stay focused. Take turns explaining terms and concepts to each other. Odds are if you can explain it to someone else (and they can follow), you have a good grasp on the material and that'll show up on the exam. Study in a quiet place that has a nice chair you won't hesitate to spend large chunks...

Article in English: Arrange these hardier vegetables at the bottom of the slow cooker in even layers. Onions are less likely to stick to the sides of the slow cooker as much as many of the other ingredients might. Moreover, as fragrant vegetables, the aroma and flavor of the onions can seep upward and into the less dense, more permeable ingredients. If you cannot fit the brisket in as a whole piece, cut it into two pieces and rearrange as needed to make it fit. Scatter the celery and carrots over the beef in even layers. These are the only vegetables you should add at this point. Do not add the cabbage yet. It cooks too quickly and will disintegrate if cooked for the full time. Drizzle the ale or beer over the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker. Sprinkle evenly with the spice blend.  Make sure that the ale completely covers the meat in the slow cooker. If it does not, add just enough water to bring the level of the liquid up to the top of the brisket. Use the spice blend provided in this article, or, if you would prefer, you could also use a pre-made pickling spice blend or the spice blend that usually comes with the corned beef brisket. Leave the lid on the entire 7 hours.  If you do not have a full 7 hours, you could cook the corned beef and vegetables on high for 4 hours, instead.  Keeping the lid on is crucial. Crock Pots and other slow cookers work by building up heat, and when you remove the lid, you let a portion of that heat escape. This could lengthen the overall cooking time. Arrange the cabbage wedges in an even layer across the top of the slow cooker. Cover again and cook on low for another hour, until the cabbage becomes tender.  Alternatively, you could switch the slow cooker to high and cook the cabbage and other ingredients for only 20 to 30 minutes longer. You do not need to stir the ingredients previously in the slow cooker before adding the cabbage. Simply rest the cabbage on top, spreading it out as evenly as possible. Transfer the cooked corned beef and vegetables to serving plates while still hot. Pour...

Article in English: Arrange your shrimp on a microwave-safe plate, keeping them separated in a single layer without any overlap. Add a splash of water to the dish and then cover it with plastic wrap. Microwave your shrimp on high heat for one to two minutes.  If your shrimp aren't hot enough, you can microwave them for an additional 30 seconds or so. Microwaved shrimp will be very hot, so it's important to let them cool before serving them. If your shrimp has already been seasoned, steaming helps preserve the flavor. Fill a pot with water and place a steamer or colander inside the pot. Place your shrimp in the steamer or colander. Then, place the pot over the stove and bring the water to a boil. Let the shrimp cook until they start to smell fragrant. Avoid stacking shrimp too high in the steamer and make sure they don't touch the water. If your shrimp are coated with breading or coconut, they're best reheated in the oven. Wrap the shrimp loosely in foil and place them on a baking tray. Cook the shrimp for 15 minutes at 300 degrees Fahrenheit (about 149 degrees Celsius). Add enough oil to coat the bottom of a skillet or frying pan and place it over the stove. Add your shrimp in an even layer. Cook the shrimp for two to three minutes on each side.

Article in English: Arranging some reliable transport is a necessary step. It's very important there isn't any question of how you're going to get to school on your first day; things are going to be stressful enough as it is, and you don't want a simple mix-up to get in the way. There are a few likely ways you can get to school:  If you live close enough, you can always walk or ride a bicycle to school. It's also a good way to exercise and encourage some oxygen flow before your day. Walking or bike riding will help your stress if you're feeling anxious at all. You can ask your parents to drive you. Even if they won't always be able to drive you, getting a quick ride over will help make the day as smooth as it can be. Most schools operate some kind of bus service. Taking one of these buses will bring you right to the school, and you might make some friends on the way! Joining a carpool is a good option, and a safer bet than constantly relying on your parents. Public transport is also another option, which can save time and money. When you go back to school, you won't have as much time for things like cleaning. Give your room a good tidying; that way, you'll have something clean and relaxing to come home to at the end of the day. Especially if you're worried about making a good first impression, choosing the right outfit on your first day can be a nerve-wracking experience! Luckily, you should have lots of time to choose the day before. Find your favourite clothes and lay them neatly beside your bed. That way, you won't be in a rush trying to figure out what to wear.  Any fashion advice depends purely on you at your personality. Ideally, you'll want to wear something casual, comfy, and clean. If you haven't done so already, it's a good idea to give your outfit a wash in the laundry. If your school enforces a uniform policy, there are still things you can do to accessorize. Adding buttons or frills to a uniform can give it some zest. Just make sure you're not breaking any policy rules by modifying it! Be sure to follow your...

Article in English: Arrogance is about projecting superiority in all things, and it's easier to be superior and to brag about it when it's about things you've actually done. When you score more points than anyone else on the team, when you get your work done the fastest, when you beat your brother in a footrace, make sure everyone knows about it.  Only brag about things that you do excellently. It's much more difficult to brag when you're only mediocre, and then your arrogance just comes off as ignorance. If you want to command presence, brag when you've got a reason. If you want to be more arrogant, you don't need to wait for an opening to brag, just start doing it. Arrogance is bullish and obvious, and arrogant people don't care if everyone knows it. Feel free to slightly embellish your accomplishments as well. It's better to exaggerate slightly than to flat-out lie, because you can get your arrogant bubble burst a little if people find out you didn't do as well as you claimed. If you want to come off as arrogant, start setting big goals and trying your best to live up to them. Your standard for excellence should always be higher than everyone else's, yet always within reach of your skills. Make the bar too high for anyone else to reach.  Let your standards evolve with your skills. The more you accomplish, the higher your standards should become. It's not enough to win one championship, you have to repeat and three-peat, you have to win MVP trophies, and be the best in the room. If someone offers a compliment, an arrogant person will sometimes respond with something like, "Oh, that's nothing. I'm not even trying." When other people fail to live up to the standards that you set for excellence and for yourself, point it out publicly. While it might seem cruel to point out other people's failures and inadequacies, it's an important way to position yourself on top of everyone else. That's just as important as bragging about yourself. You don't need to do it in a rude way to be arrogant, but it does help to be somewhat blunt. If...

Article in English: Arrowroot is a starch extracted from tropical fruit rhizomes. It's a fine powder and works really well as a last-minute gravy thickener. The arrowroot must be added to a little cold liquid and blended into a paste before being added to the hot gravy. The beauty of arrowroot is that it will stay clear, which can be important for lighter colored gravy. You don’t have stir really hard, just keep the arrowroot in motion while your gravy comes to a boil. Any further cooking can have the reverse effect and thin the arrowroot. As soon as you see bubbles in the gravy remove the gravy completely from the hot stove plate. Don’t just turn the stove off and let the gravy sit on there – it will continue to boil! Hopefully it has reached the consistency that you were looking for. Wait about ten to fifteen before serving your gravy so that it can cool down to an appropriate temperature. You want to be able to taste the flavor after all.

Article in English: Arrows should be formed from the straightest sticks you can find. The wood should be dry and dead.  Each arrow should be about half as long as the bow, or as long as the bow can draw back.  It does not work to have arrows that can't be pulled back to the bow's potential. Consider these items as well:  Green wood does work if you can give it some extra time to dry out naturally, as the sap may ignite if placed over a fire to dry. Some strong, straight plants for arrows are goldenrod and Mullen . They can be found in fields. You will need to whittle the wood smooth around the circumference of the arrow.  You can straighten an arrow by gently heating the shaft over hot coals--do not scorch or burn the wood--and then holding the arrow straight while the wood cools. Carve a small notch in the back tip of each arrow to accommodate the bow string. This is called a nock. The simplest arrowhead is simply a carved point on the front of the arrow shaft.  You can whittle such a point with a knife and then fire harden it by gently heating it in coals (again, be careful not to burn or scorch the wood). (This is optional). You can do this with metal, stone, glass, or bone. Carefully use a small rock or hammer to chip your material into a point and attach it to the arrow's tip. You can do this by notching the wood, inserting the arrowhead into the notch, and then lashing the arrowhead to the wood with some sort of string or cord. While fletchings improve the arrow's flight, they are not necessary for a field-expedient weapon. Find some feathers to make the fletchings and glue them (if possible) onto the back ends of the arrows. You could also split the back of the arrow, slide the feather in, and tightly wrap a thin thread (possibly obtained from your own clothes) around the fletching. If you use this method, you can use just about anything as your fletching.  Fletchings act similarly to rudders on a ship or small plane, guiding the arrow through the air for pinpoint accuracy. They also have a similar effect to a glider, as...

Article in English: Art supplies can be very expensive so, when starting out, you'll likely want to use student grade paints. These will be most affordable, but will also offer less coverage and greater shift in color as the paints dry. Artist grade (professional) acrylics, on the other hand, have higher levels of pigment, a wide array of colors, and limited color shift when drying. Student grade acrylics are not necessarily less useful or desirable than artist grade paints. Student grade paints are excellent for large scale projects or any under-painting you may have to do. Beyond the well-known fact that acrylics dry quickly, there are many other considerations you should be aware of when choosing your acrylic paint. Generally, you can expect that acrylic paint not fully dry can be revitalized by water, but it will not be able to be rehydrated after it is fully dry. This is important to take into account, because if you plan on using a color-lifting technique, as you would with watercolor paints like gum arabic, it will not work with acrylics. Once the acrylic has been used in a wash and dried, you will not be able to rehydrate the paint. Acrylics can give the appearance of many different styles. You can use your acrylics to create artwork that resembles watercolors or even more elaborate oil paintings. This, however, will require experimentation on your part. Different paints are made from different ingredients, and these will all have unique properties.  With experience, you'll likely begin to develop an intuition for how much a certain kind of paint needs to be thinned to achieve your desired color. To do this consistently, you should note the process you used when you achieve a particularly desired shade through thinning. One of the most common kinds of acrylic paints, and the one you'll most likely be painting with, has a satin sheen, also called a semi-matte sheen. Other finishes common in acrylic paints are gloss and matte. If you thin your acrylic paint until it resembles the consistency of watercolor, you can apply...

Article in English: Arthroscopic surgery may alleviate most of your knee pain almost immediately, but be very careful and resist the urge to participate in any strenuous activity during the first few days or so to allow for healing. Any exercise during the first few days post surgery should be very mild and focused on leg muscle contractions and mobilization without weight bearing, such as slowly raising your leg while lying on your bed or sofa.  After a few days, focus on regaining your balance and coordination by putting more weight on your leg, but support yourself with a chair or against the wall in case you lose your balance. Complete inactivity (such as bed rest) is not recommended post surgery — muscles and joints need to move and get ample blood flow in order to heal. Most likely you'll need to take some time off from your job, especially if it involves much standing, walking, driving or lifting. Recovery from simple arthroscopic procedures is usually relatively fast (a few weeks), but you may need to use crutches during that time. If parts of your knee have been repaired or rebuilt, you may not be able to walk without crutches or a knee brace for several weeks, and full recovery may take several months to a year. Make sure your crutches fit your height, otherwise you might develop a shoulder injury. If you have a physical job, then talk to your boss about switching to something less demanding, if possible. For example, maybe you can do something more sedentary at the office or work from home on the computer. Even driving is typically restricted from 1-3 weeks after an arthroscopic knee procedure, so merely getting to work might be very difficult.  When you'll be able to drive depends on: the knee involved, whether your car is manual or automatic, the nature of the procedure, your level of pain, and whether you are using narcotic pain medications. If your right knee is involved (which is needed to press the gas and brake pedals), expect to be restricted from driving for a longer duration.

Article in English: Artichokes are at their best in Spring. The peak season for artichokes is from March to May, so you’ll find the freshest ones in those three months.  Look for the right coloring. A fresh artichoke will be a nice, deep green shade.  A few brown spots are okay, but the artichoke should generally look very fresh and green. A good artichoke should have tight, vibrant green leaves. Loose or dry leaves mean that the artichoke isn’t in the best shape. Squeeze the leaves against each other, and they should make a squeaking sound if the artichoke is good. It should feel plump and a bit heavier than it looks. A smaller artichoke will be more tender than a larger one, while a rounder artichoke will have a bigger heart than a more narrow one.

Article in English: Articuno is the ice-type legendary bird. It is the most powerful of the three birds. Fly to Fuchsia City and surf down Route 19, then surf left down Route 20 to the Seafoam Islands.  Enter the island. You will need to navigate through a maze of ice and rapids to get to Articuno. You will need Pokémon with Strength and Surf to reach Articuno. There is a complicated rock-moving puzzle along the way! Bring a few repels to keep wild Pokémon away. Make sure that you have at least 30 Ultra Balls – Articuno may be the weakest of the three birds, but it is still a very strong Pokémon. If you run out of Ultra Balls in the midst of the battle, then you might not be able to catch Articuno! Save before the battle. Once you find Articuno, make sure that you save before you try to catch it. This way, you can try again if you mess up. Seel and Dewgong take 1/8 damage from ice moves, and Ice Beam is Articuno's only attacking move. Try to catch a Seel in the cave on your way to Articuno. Give the Seel or Dewgong the Leftovers item to make the battle even easier. When held by a Pokémon, Leftovers make that Pokémon gradually recover HP throughout a battle. Find Leftovers on Routes 12 and 16, hidden underneath where the Snorlaxes were sleeping. The most successful way to catch this bird is to get its health into the red, then give it a status condition. Freeze and Sleep are best. However, Paralyze may be the easiest since it doesn't wear off. Keep throwing Ultra Balls until you get it – and make sure not to injure the bird so much that it faints before you can catch it! Avoid status conditions like Poison and Burn that gradually injure the afflicted Pokémon. These are risky: you'll run the chance of killing the Articuno before you can catch it.

Article in English: Artificial grass is a lot less likely to collect bacterial spores than natural grass; however it’s still possible, especially if you have pets. If you only need to spray a specific spot, just use a spray bottle. If you suspect the bacteria is more widespread, attach a hose-end sprayer to a garden hose and hose down the whole turf. A hose-end sprayer looks like a plastic bottle with a spray bottle nozzle. It screws into a garden hose and is usually used to spray fertilizer. Use a garden hose to spray water on your grass. This will keep it looking fresh as well as ridding it of small spills and odors. After hosing, use a broom or a rake to brush the grass. This will keep the grass blades pointing upwards, helping your lawn look fresh. Snow and ice won’t damage the grass by themselves, but walking on the grass too much can cause snow to turn into a layer of ice. If this does happen, avoid the temptation to remove the ice, as this could damage the grass blades. Instead, you should wait until the snow and ice melt naturally. Avoid using salt to melt snow or ice. The residue can damage the grass’ carpet backing and prevent the lawn from draining properly.

Article in English: As a Christian youth, you should lead by example. That means following Christian teachings. Everything you do in your life should reflect the goodness of God.   Show positivity, smile, and do good works. Don’t talk behind other people’s backs. Be kind to all people, including those who aren’t popular. Love thy neighbor as thyself.  Walk the walk, don’t just talk the talk. Be a leader. Don’t participate or laugh at sinful subjects. Just walk away. But also try to get people to stop doing it. If you see bullying occurring, intervene. Be the one person at your school that doesn't tolerate cussing or gossip. Don’t drink, smoke, party, cheat on tests, gossip, or engage in other negative behaviors.  Be someone who spends Friday night on their knees in prayer rather than at a party getting wasted. If people can't tell you're a Christian by your actions and words, you're doing it wrong. You need to live every single day with the right attitude.  Love others and be willing to help them even at cost to yourself. This is a fundamental commandment that Jesus gave during his time on Earth. To love others as you love yourself is so important. Don’t let ego and status stop you from treating others as you would your own brothers and sisters. Don't be close minded. Love all people of all religions, races, sexual orientations, and beliefs. Don't swear or speak about inappropriate things, or make intolerant statements. You can't make a positive difference if you are cursing or making dirty jokes. Be respectful, honorable, and pure. Set an example of Christianity every day at work or school, or both. Be humble, kind, patient, and respectful when engaging with non-Christians. Jesus showed love to people who were treated negatively by others or regarded lowly by society. Never give up on someone, and especially never give up on God, in the good times and the bad.  You will encounter islands in school and other settings. This means there are people who only hang out with certain people because they don't know anyone else and won't...

Article in English: As a basic rule of thumb, always check care tags before laundering something. While most pillows are machine washable, some might require dry clean or spot cleaning only, as either the fabric or the pillow’s filling will degrade in the wash. Although you could forego the manufacturer’s instructions and machine wash your pillows anyway, this will void any warranties you might have on your pillows, and could even leach toxic water, in the case of some foam pillows. Pillows are prone to staining due to sweat, dirt, and makeup, primarily, although oils and food stains often find their way onto pillows. Before you toss your yellowed pillows into the washer, spot treat any small stains, using a standard stain removal spray, or a paste of baking soda and water. Instead of laundering your pillows only in your standard detergent, run a load with your standard detergent, as well as vinegar, washing soda, and dishwasher detergent. Use 1 C (8 oz) of dishwasher detergent, ¾ C (6 oz) washing soda, and ½ C (4 oz) of vinegar for every 3 tablespoon (44.4 ml) of regular laundry detergent you use. This mixture was formulated to wash two pillows. The mixture above can be thick and grainy, and may adhere to pillows without a thorough rinse. After you’ve run a cycle with the mixture, run a second cycle with only hot water, or hot water and ½ C (4 oz) of vinegar. This will remove any remaining detergent, and will give your pillows a quick sanitizing session. Remove your pillows from the washer, and check to see if the color has improved. If not, you can place the pillow(s) back into the washer, this time running a load with approximately ¼ C (2 oz) of peroxide as a safer bleach solution.  If the pillow is still yellow following this procedure, the color may not be salvageable. If the color is the only issue, and the pillow does not smell of mildew, mold, or sweat, you can simply place it in a pillowcase to hide its unsightly color. If the pillow persists in having an odor, it is time for a new pillow. Once clean, your pillows...

Article in English: As a beginner, Middle C serves as your anchoring point. It's the key in the very middle of the keyboard, the first white key in a set of 3 with 2 black keys in between. Place your right thumb on Middle C, then let the rest of your fingers fall on the white keys to the right of Middle C. Press the Middle C key with your thumb to play the note. In piano fingering notation, your thumb is frequently labeled with a 1. Then play the white key next to it, D, with your index or 2 finger. Your middle or 3 finger plays E, while your ring or 4 finger falls on the F key. Your pinky or 5 finger plays G. These are the first 5 notes of the C Major scale. To play the full C Major scale, begin by playing the first 3 notes you played when you located Middle C: C, D, and E. Now, instead of playing F with your ring finger, tuck your thumb under your 3 fingers and slide your hand down to play F with your thumb. Your 4 fingers will now be in place to play the rest of the scale: G, A, B, and back to C an octave higher.  Start with the metronome at a relatively slow tempo and practice the scale until you can play it smoothly, moving your hand through the notes and hitting them in order without making any mistakes or looking down at the keyboard. Then, speed the metronome up a little and try again. Two of the common ways of playing the scale is Similar motion and Contrary motion. To play in similar motion, put your hands at the lower half of the piano/keyboard, an octave apart from each other, and play in the same direction to the right, and when you  reach an certain octave, play back to your starting point To play Contrary motion in C major, put both of your thumbs on the middle C and play the left hand going left and the right hand playing to the right and when you reach 1 or 2 octaves, play in reverse back the starting point. This exercise may seem boring, but if you master these fundamentals you'll find it much easier to play more complicated pieces later on. Scales help build muscle memory in your fingers and also give you...

Article in English: As a cat owner, it's important to know your cat's normal behavior. This will help you to assess whether something is wrong. Look for changes in behavior, including, but not limited to, changes in eating patterns, types of movement, and interest in socializing.  These can be the signs of a variety of illnesses, including physical trauma. If your cat's personality or behavior has changed drastically, and you can't figure out why, take it to a veterinarian. These changes could be symptoms of a medical problem. If you heard a cat fight, or your cat comes back limping, then check the cat over for signs of trauma. A tell-tale sign of a fight are tufts of hair that are clumped together. Look at the cat and check to see if any areas of the coat look unkempt or are sticking up at an odd angle. Gently investigate the cat's body by parting the fur and looking at the skin underneath. Alternatively you may find an area of hair loss, where the aggressor cat pulled the fur out. The area may have a wound, or you might see spots of blood or see a swollen area. This is easiest to spot on white or pale coated cats. For a black cat, gently run your hands over it and watch for a reaction to tenderness, or feel for a wound, swelling, or scabs. You may not always witness a fight or see the signs of a fight on your cat's coat. This is why it is important to regularly inspect your cat for injuries that you might otherwise miss. This is especially important to do if your cat is an outdoor cat, and if it's prone to fighting.  A good time to do this is when you are snuggling and petting the cat. Keep the cat calm and gently sweep your hand over the body while looking at the skin beneath the fur. Older wounds may be infected, in which case you may find swelling, a scab, hair loss, or a bloody or purulent discharge. Old abscesses that have burst often contain a lot of pus which mats the fur. Also, the skin over the abscess dies off and can leave a considerable hole behind, through which you can see muscle or exposed tissues.

Article in English: As a college student, having access to quick cash is extremely helpful. Look for part-time job opportunities that will allow you to walk away with cash in hand at the end of your shift. Serving or tending bar in restaurants, working as a hotel or restaurant valet, delivering food (which usually requires you to have your own car and insurance), or doing street performance are good options. Hit the pavement and check out the local businesses around your area. You may be able to find part-time work that fits around your school schedule.  While you should check the classifieds regularly for posted job ads, understand that not all businesses use these, and you may have better luck if you inquire in person about possible job openings. Be prepared with a copy of your resume and look presentable when you first go to the shop. Don't pop in on your way home from the gym! That won't leave a good impression! The process of finding an available job can be simplified by enlisting the help of a temp agency. They can sort through all the ads for you, and already have established relationships with local businesses.  While the agency will take a portion of your wages, temp jobs tend to pay fairly well, and you can be clear about what your availability is around your class schedule. Another advantage of working through an agency is that you can turn down work if you are having a particularly busy week or month at school. If you are responsible and good with children, you can often find steady work as a baby-sitter or nanny. Research the going rates in your area; as a college student, you may be able to demand a higher rate, particularly if you are an education major (or psychology, pre-med or nursing student, have certification in CPR and/or first-aid, etc.). In some cities, you may be able to make up to $15 an hour. These businesses screen and run back-ground checks on their sitters. Many parents are more comfortable placing their children in the care of sitters who have been vetted through this process. You may also consider...

Article in English: As a defender, a low center of gravity is crucial. Bend your knees and tighten your core, keeping your arms out to your sides. You can brush away the arms of opposing players when they come near you.  Stay on your toes with your feet about shoulder-width apart. This improves your balance and helps you block more space. Keep your feet staggered to avoid getting “megged.” Keep your eye on the ball, not the player you're defending. When you're off the ball, scan the field so you know where all the players are and can anticipate opportunities the other team may try to take advantage of. When you're on the ball, stay square with the player you're defending rather than moving to one side or the other. If you only defend one side of the player, you give them an out to get around you or pass the ball. Ask your teammates for help if you're having a hard time keeping up with the player and fear they may get through you. Focus on delaying them as long as possible until help arrives. A bad touch or a misstep creates an opportunity for you as a defender. If you're defending a strong player, you have to be alert for the slightest mistake. Put the player you're defending under pressure to increase the likelihood that they get flustered and fumble. Pay attention to the smallest details and be ready to act immediately when you sense the other player is in trouble. You may only have a second to act to make a big difference in the game. Most soccer players have signature moves and patterns that can tell you when they're gearing up for a shot or a breakaway. If you research opposing teams and watch previous games, you'll be better able to anticipate their behavior.  As a defender, you need to be able to predict what your opponent is going to do and where they want to go so you can position yourself to stop them. When you're watching previous games, also look out for defensive techniques that have caused particular opponents problems. You can add those techniques to your own repertoire when you play against them. As a defender,...

Article in English: As a fire sign and the first in the zodiac, Aries are known for being bold, tireless and aggressive. Aries are headstrong, can talk a mile a minute, and prefer to be doing rather than sitting. Dating an Aries means that you’ll have your work cut out for you, and you should be prepared to be as energetic and agreeable as it takes to keep both of you interested.  Dating an Aries may not be for the faint of heart. Between the rapid fluctuations in mood, the impulsive decision-making and the natural intensity of their personalities, they may sometimes be overwhelming to handle. You can have a lot of fun dating an Aries because of their adventurous spirits. Don’t be resistant to going new places and trying new things. You’ll be given a chance to enjoy opportunities that you might not have otherwise experienced on your own. Aries are born leaders and will assert themselves in leadership roles whenever possible. This goes for relationships, as well. If an Aries isn’t allowed to call the shots, they’ll begin to get anxious and resent the restriction, as this is literally in opposition to their nature. While all relationships should consider both partners’ feelings, it’s okay to let an Aries take the reigns. It’s where they feel most comfortable.  Letting an Aries handle the planning aspects of dating can do you both a favor if you’re not good at making decisions. While it’s one thing to give your Aries partner control of day-to-day sorts of details, you should both be on equal footing in the relationship. Never content to simply sit and luxuriate, Aries signs are fiercely driven and competitive and will jump at the chance to prove themselves. This means that your relationship will be punctuated by thrilling and unusual dates and activities. Rather than a relaxing night out at the movies, you can expect an Aries to want to take you dancing, be in attendance at rousing events and even plan adrenaline-charged outings like rock climbing and skydiving. If you want to date an Aries, you should get used to the idea of...

Article in English: As a general rule of thumb, do not get married immediately after the engagement is announced. Instead, enjoy being engaged for a little while. With any luck, it is the only time you will ever be engaged in your life. Once you both agree on a day, find a justice of the peace, notary public, or other legally-empowered person to perform your marriage. Call ahead and set up an appointment; it will give him or her something pleasant to expect. Arrive to the site of your ceremony early and bring at least one witness along. Dress up or not as you want it: Only the two of you, the master of the ceremony, and your witness(es) will be there to see. Follow the lead of the official and exchange vows. Kiss your spouse when you are finished. You can choose to get a marriage license the same day you get married, in most cases; fees vary by state, but are not usually very expensive. The license gives you legal proof of your marriage for tax and other purposes. Once you have it, it is unnecessary to renew it.

Article in English: As a general rule of thumb, it is not the best idea to ask a celebrity for their autograph or a picture while they are with their family. Celebrities want to be able to spend quality time with their families. And, for security reasons, celebrities who are with their children generally do not want to be approached by the public. Therefore, your chances of getting an autograph or a picture are quite low if a celebrity is with their family. Similar to the family situation, if you see that a celebrity is on a date, at an important business meeting, or having dinner, they generally do not like to be interrupted. If you have to, wait for them to finish what they are doing, whether it is eating or in a meeting, and then attempt to approach. Attempt to approach them only when they have finished signing their check and are getting up from their seat and putting on their coat. Plan ahead by knowing what you will say to the celebrity. Phrases that are appropriate are, “May I have your autograph?” or “I really like your work, may I have an autograph or a picture?” Don’t say things like, “I really hate to do this, but may I take a picture with you?” or “I really didn’t want to bother you, but my friend wanted me to ask…” If you really “hated” it, then you wouldn’t be asking. It just does not seem sincere. No celebrity likes to be interrupted by a fan that is fumbling with his or her autograph paper and pen, or with their camera in order to get a picture. If you are going to ask a celebrity for their autograph or picture, commit to it by having your materials prepared beforehand. Have your pen and paper sitting in your back pocket so you can pull it out swiftly if they agree to an autograph. Or, have your camera ready and on the correct settings so you can take a quick snap.

Article in English: As a general rule of thumb, you have three standard choices: the gift bag, the tote, or the box. With technology nowadays, they're all good contenders -- anything can be personalized, jazzed up, and made impressive. It's just a matter of taste! The only real thing to take into consideration is that your goodie bag should match your theme. Get creative! Are you at the beach? Use a pail! Does your wedding have a vintage-y feel? Use an antique-y box. Stay consistent -- this goodie bag is one of the first things you have at your disposal to set the tone. Because everyone loves food -- especially if they just got in from a long trip full of peanuts and sips of watered-down coffee. Little munchies are best, and they're even better if they're from the area the wedding is taking place or your hometown. Get local! What springs to mind when you think of where you are? Whatever isn't available in the minibar is good -- fresh fruit is a great, cheap addition. But sweets are also always, always, always welcome. Think granola bars, chocolate, or even homemade baked goods! You want something you can give your guests that they can remember forever. What's more perfect than a souvenir? Not necessarily of your wedding, but of the entire trip your guests are making. If you're having it in your hometown, have it be along the lines of your wedding's theme. If you're having a destination wedding, have it be indicative of the destination. In Paris? A little Eiffel Tower. In Texas? A star, of course. If you have a few children in attendance, you may want to opt for a toy trinket in lieu of a souvenir -- or in addition to! A mini plane, yo-yo, just a simple gadget that says you're thinking of the entire family. This is a long weekend for your guests, too. They're exhausted from the traveling and mingling and probably staying up all night. Have some sort of "recovery" aid in your goodie bag for your guests that are going to greet the sunrise. Here are some ideas:  Advil/Tylenol A sleep mask Lotion/bath salts/soap, etc....

Article in English: As a general rule of thumb, you should be drinking eight 8-oz (250-ml) glasses of water and other hydrating fluids each day.  Staying hydrated gives your body the resources it needs to produce the amount of saliva needed to keep your throat moist. Additionally, drinking fluids can also thin and loosen mucus, thereby preventing it from clinging to the interior walls of your throat and causing irritation there. Tea can be an especially good beverage choice for those suffering with dry throats. Many herbal teas offer natural relief for irritated throats, and teas made from actual tea leaves contain antioxidants that boost your immune system. Avoid caffeinated teas since caffeine can cause dehydration, though. Soak or mix dry foods with broths, soups, sauces, gravies, creams, butter, or margarine before eating them. Doing so is an easy, effective way to coat your throat with additional moisture and get more fluid into your body. Aside from offering additional hydration, moist foods can also be easier to swallow for people suffering with dry throats. This is especially true if these foods are also soft and served no warmer than room temperature. While typically recommended for sore throats, honey can also soothe dry, irritated throats just as effectively. It coats the lining of the throat and protects it against irritants and drying agents.  Try dissolving 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of honey in 8 oz (250 ml) of warm to hot water. Considering adding a squeeze of lemon to help boost your immune system, as well. Drink the mixture one to three times daily. Proceed with caution, however. Honey and lemon may increase your risk of developing tooth decay if you've suffered with long-term dry mouth problems. Honey is also unsafe for children under the age of one year. Salt water is another remedy more commonly used for sore throats than dry throats, but under the right conditions, it may also help combat throat dryness.  If your dry throat is caused by seasonal irritants like dry air or allergies, gargling salt water can be a good...

Article in English: As a general rule, if you suspect your pet has ringworm, take it to the vet to get checked out. Your veterinarian can confirm the presence of ringworm by a variety of methods and then treat. The Wood's Lamp is a special lamp fitted with ultraviolet bulbs and a magnifying lens. The lamp is switched on and the bulbs allowed to warm for 10 minutes. In a dark room, the animal is examined by shining the Woods Lamp onto the suspect areas and examining the response via the magnifying lens.  Certain species of ringworm glow a fluorescent apple green in the presence of ultraviolet light. If this happens then ringworm is present. Your veterinarian may then wish to double check his or her findings by sending a sample away to a lab for species identification. Be aware that only about 50% of ringworm species fluoresce in this way. So, in other words, a negative on the Wood's Lamp does NOT mean the animal is clear. This is a useful way to get a quick positive, but not a conclusive negative. Another way to get a quick result is for the veterinarian to pluck hairs from the edge of the affected area and examine them under the microscope. Under high magnification it can be possible to see the fungal spores entwined around the hair shaft, which gives positive confirmation of ringworm. A fungal culture will give you a definitive answer. To do this the veterinarian uses a sterile brush (such as a sterilized tooth brush) and rubs it over the affected area. The head of the brush is then pressed against a fungal culture medium, the medium container is then sealed, and set aside to see if fungus grows.  Many vets use an "in house" test where the fungal culture medium changes color if fungus grows. This gives a clear indication that ringworm is present. It takes an average of 4 - 5 days for the fungus to grow and cause a color change, although the test is not considered negative until a full 2 weeks have passed with a color change. If your dog is found to have ringworm your vet will likely prescribe an anti fungal medication. While...

Article in English: As a general rule, people who are overweight or obese suffer more arthritis because of the increased amount of pressure on their joints — especially weight-bearing joints such as the knees, hips and low back. Furthermore, overweight people are more likely to have flat feet and fallen arches, which promotes "knock knees" (also called genu valgum). Genu varum is hard on knee joints because it causes misalignment of the thigh (femur) and shin (tibia) bones. Thus, do your knees a favor by losing excess weight. The best way to lose weight is by increasing cardiovascular exercise (such as walking or cycling) while decreasing your daily calories at the same time.  Most people who aren't especially active only need about 2,000 calories daily to maintain their body processes and still have enough energy for some exercise. Reducing your daily caloric intake by only 500 calories can result in about 4 pounds of lost fat per month.  Swimming is a fantastic exercise for arthritis sufferers to lose weight because your body is buoyant and no pressure is put on your joints. Osteoarthritis (OA) involves some inflammation, but not nearly as much as either types, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), gout attacks or psoriatic arthritis (PA). Instead, OA involves wearing out of the knee cartilage, formation of bone spurs, grating sensations, pain, loss of flexibility and stiffness, particularly first thing in the morning after many hours of disuse. As such, moist heat is a much better choice for OA instead of ice because the warmth dilates blood vessels (larger diameter) around the knee, improves circulation, loosens up muscles and helps to alleviate joint stiffness.  Apply moist heat first thing in the morning or after not using your knee for long periods of time. Avoid electric heat sources because they can dehydrate the skin and muscles around the knee. Microwaved herbal bags work well for knee arthritis, especially the ones that are infused with aromatherapy (lavender, for example) because they tend to have relaxing properties....

Article in English: As a general rule, relatively fresh eggs are safer to use than old eggs. Do not use an egg that is past its expiration date and never use an egg that has any cracks in the shell. Take the eggs you plan on using out of the refrigerator and let them sit out on your kitchen counter for 15 to 20 minutes. The shell of each egg should feel close to room temperature before you proceed any further. Do not use chilled eggs for this procedure. The egg yolks need to reach a temperature of 59 degrees Celsius (138 degrees Fahrenheit) before potential bacteria will die, but cold eggs may not warm up sufficiently during the limited amount of time they can spend in the warm water used for pasteurizing. Room temperature eggs, on the other hand, have a better chance. Fill a small saucepan halfway with cool to cold water. Carefully place the eggs inside the water, laying them on the bottom of the saucepan in a single layer.  If necessary, add more water to the saucepan after placing the eggs inside. The eggs should be covered by about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of water. Attach an instant-read thermometer to the side of the pan. Make sure that the tip of the thermometer rests underneath the water so that it can read the temperature of the water throughout the process. You will need to monitor the temperature very closely. Note that any instant-read thermometer will work, but a digital thermometer is probably your best bet since it allows you to read temperature fluctuations more precisely. Place the saucepan on the stove and heat it using a medium heat setting. Allow the water to reach a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit).  Ideally, you should not allow the temperature of the water to rise above 61 degrees Celsius (142 degrees Fahrenheit) during any point of the process. At higher temperatures, the consistency and properties of the egg could be altered. You may end up cooking the eggs slightly without even realizing it.  In a pinch, however, you might be able to allow the temperature to rise as high as 65 degrees...

Article in English: As a general rule, the scion seed, which is selected for its fruit, should be planted earlier than the rootstock seed, selected for other qualities such as disease resistance. You can plant at more precise times if you know the growing rate of each variety. Plant in small containers. For this method, you will need to attach the two plants while each is still attached to its own roots, so they need to be able to reach each other without being transplanted. The first leaves to emerge from a seedling are small seed leaves that do not look like the leaves of an adult plant. After one or two of these have grown, a true leaf with a noticeably different shape will grow. When both plants are at this stage, they are ready to be grafted together. You'll have the highest chance of success if the stems of each plant are almost the same diameter and height, although it's not absolutely vital for this method. You should cut approximately halfway through the stem, with a sharp downward cut, between a 30º and 60º angle. Choose a point on the stem below the seed leaf. Always use a sanitized razor blade and wear latex gloves. This reduces the chance of infection to the plant. Because the cut requires precision, an ordinary sharp knife does not work as well for this method. Again, choose a point below the seed leaf and cut approximately halfway through the plant. The cut you make should be angled upward so the two cuts can easily be joined together. Hook the upper "tongue" of the scion plant into the wedge created by the cut in the rootstock plant. Secure the joint with a grafting clip or by wrapping it in lead tape. Labeling each plant at this point is a great idea, especially if the varieties look similar. If you get them confused in the next step, you could end up removing the best part of each plant instead of the worst. Unlike the top grafting method, you do not need to place your new hybrid plant in a special healing chamber, since each plant is still able to transport water from its own roots to its leaves. Keeping them...

Summary in Russian:

Посадите семена привоя на 5-7 дней раньше чем семена подвоя. Будьте готовы к прививке, когда оба растения уже имеют свой первый настоящий листочек. Используйте чистое лезвие, чтобы сделать глубокий надрез на подвое. Сделайте восходящий разрез под соответствующим углом на стебле растения-привоя. Соедините два растения в месте разрезов между собой и зафиксируйте. Дождитесь пока растения полностью срастутся друг с другом. Удалите верхушку подвоя через пять дней. Удалите корни привоя на пару дней позже. Снимите зажим или обертку.


Article in English: As a general rule, the stock should be five years old or younger. It must also produce vigorous growth and show no signs of disease.  The "stock" is the tree you're grafting onto. Most apple and pear trees can be grafted at any age, but the process is notably more difficult after the trees reach 10 years of age. For trees up to the age of five, you can graft all of the branches at once. For older trees, only graft the upper half and center of the tree the first year. The rest of the tree can be grafted the following year. Even though the scion and stock will be different trees, they should be as closely related as possible to encourage better success.  Typically, varieties and cultivars of a single fruit species can be grafted together. Plants of the same genus and species are usually able to be grafted together even if the fruit is different, but your odds of success are significantly lower. Fruit trees that are in completely different families cannot be grafted together. The best time to graft is when the buds of the stock tree just begin to open. Do not graft after the stock has blossomed.  In most regions, the ideal time to graft is in April or early May. Keep at least 1 to 2 feet (30.5 to 61 cm) of branch in between the trunk and the graft, especially when working with young trees. If you do not keep enough space in between the trunk and graft, the trunk can grow past the grafted union, and the connection between the branch and stock will not form correctly.

Article in English: As a general rule, you are wearing dress shoes, a dress watch would be appropriate. If you are wearing sneakers, then a sports watch would be appropriate. If you are somewhere in between, such as boots, boat shoes, or flip-flops, an everyday casual watch is your best bet. Your everyday watch should be neutral and durable, as it's meant to be worn throughout your daily activities, including work, casual social functions, and errands. Stainless steel is a popular choice as this makes for both neutral and sturdy watches, but options include basic watches made of all sorts of different materials, including plastic and rubber. This includes weddings, christenings, funerals, formal dinners, opera and theater performances, and other formal events. Formal watches add a finishing touch to a well-polished outfit.  Formal watches are usually made of a precious metal (silver, gold, or platinum), and can be incredibly expensive, depending on brand and materials.   Many people prefer a formal watch that is made of the same metal tone as the rest of their jewelry or accessories. For example, a woman who's wearing a platinum necklace might prefer to wear a platinum, silver, or white gold watch, while a man who's wearing gold cufflinks will usually prefer to wear a gold watch.  Formal watches can be incredibly expensive, and are seen as a status symbol among men. If an expensive formal watch is not in your budget, consider foregoing the formal watch altogether; a cheap watch can carry a negative perception, while there are no consequences for not wearing a watch during these occasions. You can wear it as an everyday watch, or as a functional tool for running or working out. Sports watches can be made with rubber, plastic, or even fabric bands that are meant to be durable, sweat-resistant, and often water-resistant. Pay close attention to the instructions that come with the watch—they will tell you how far under water your watch can safely go.  Wear your sports watch when you will need to keep time, measure depth or speed,...

Article in English: As a general rule, you only want a maximum of 1 inch (2.5 cm) of each potato shoot exposed. Check your shoots daily to see if they are starting to emerge too far out of the soil. Then, simply add more growing medium to the pot. You'll likely need to repeat this process multiple times during the growing cycle. The process is similar to mounding potatoes that were planted in the ground. There is a quick and simple way to determine when/if you need to water. Stick a single finger into the soil. If the soil feels dry, then it is time to water again. Add water to the pot until it begins to drain out the bottom.  If your potatoes do not get enough water, then they will be undersized or more susceptible to diseases and pests. In warmer temperatures, this may mean that you'll need to water your potato pots twice a day. Tailor your watering schedule to the needs of your particular potatoes. Position your potato pots so that they receive direct sun either in the morning or afternoon. While potatoes need the sunlight, they do not do well in temperatures over 80 °F (27 °C). This is why it is important that they get ample shade as well. Your potatoes may be receiving too much sun if the sprouts turn yellow or dry out shortly after shooting out of the dirt. This is the best sign that your potatoes are ready to dig up. You can either sift through the container's dirt by hand or dump it out and dig for the potatoes. Set aside each potato and make sure to wash them carefully before eating or storing. It's also a good idea to inspect each potato for fungus or mold. The outer skin should be firm and uniform in color without any white or mushy spots.

Article in English: As a general rule, you should drink six to eight 8-oz (250-ml) glasses of water each day. Dehydration can actually cause your creatinine levels to increase, so staying hydrated is important.  When you do not have enough fluid in your body, you produce less urine. Creatinine is washed out of your system through urine, so producing less urine will make it more difficult to flush out this toxin. On the other hand, consuming too much fluid could also have a negative effect on your kidney functions. Too much fluid could cause an increase in blood pressure, and high blood pressure can put stress on your kidneys. Unless otherwise instructed by a doctor, it is best to keep yourself hydrated but to avoid abnormal amounts of fluid intake. The body converts food into energy faster when it undergoes vigorous exercise. As a result, more creatinine is formed, causing the amount of creatinine build-up in your blood to increase. Exercise can still offer important health benefits overall, so you may not want to exclude it from your routine completely. You should swap out high intensity exercises for low intensity ones, however. Instead of running, weight lifting, or playing basketball, try walking or practicing yoga. When you sleep, most of your bodily functions decrease. This includes the body's metabolism. As a result, the conversion of creatine to creatinine goes at a slower rate, allowing more of the creatinine already in your blood to filter out before additional toxins can build up.  Aim for six to nine hours of sleep per night, with seven or eight being an ideal amount. Additionally, sleep deprivation can put physical stress on your entire body and force all of its parts to work harder to perform normal tasks. As a result, your kidneys can become stressed, which will decrease their ability to filter out creatinine.

Article in English: As a general rule, you should use 3 gallons (12 L) of water for every 1 lb (450 g) of fabric.  The water should be simmering hot when you pour it into the tub.  Glass and stainless steel will not be stained by the dye, but most plastics will become stained. If you are worried about staining the tub, consider lining it with plastic sheets before filling it with water. This works best if you are using a single tub. If you need to split the process up between two tubs, though, make sure that the amount of water and the amount of dye you add to each tub is exactly equal. Alternatively, you could use your washing machine to dye the curtains. To do so, begin by filling the washing machine basin with the hottest water possible. The rest of the process will essentially follow the same steps. There are differences between liquid and powder dyes, and there may even be further differences between dye brands. Check the instructions on your dye to determine the best way to prepare it.  Usually, you will need to prepare a bottle of liquid dye by vigorously shaking it for a minute or so. To prepare powder dye, fully dissolve one packet in 2 cups (500 ml) of very hot water. Dump your prepared dye into the filled basin or filled washing machine (whichever you decided to use). Use a paint stick or board to stir the dye in until you are certain that it has fully spread throughout the water. If the curtains are dry or cool to the touch, quickly soak them in a sink or separate tub filled with clean hot water. Hot water helps activate the dye. Your results will be as pure and even as possible if both the dye bath and the curtains are hot when you transfer the material to the dye. Place the curtains in the dye bath, submerging them completely beneath the water's surface. Allow them to sit in the hot dye for 5 minutes. Do not stir or agitate the curtains during this time. If you are using a washing machine, do not start any sort of washing cycle yet. After the first 5 minutes pass, add 1 cup (250 ml) of salt or white vinegar to the...

Article in English: As a general rule, you should use about 5 oz (150 ml) of juice per 1.5 to 2 oz (45 to 60 ml) of gin. The type of juice you use is really up to you, but tart juices are more commonly used than sweet juices.  For a milder taste, consider using pineapple juice, orange juice, pomegranate juice, cherry juice, or grape juice. For a slightly stronger taste, consider grapefruit juice or cranberry juice. You can also combine juices as long as the ratio of gin to juice remains the same. Try mixing grapefruit juice and orange juice, cranberry and grape, or another of your favorite juice combinations.  Strong citrus fruits, like lemon and lime, can also be mixed with gin but are generally combined with other ingredients, like syrup or soda water, to dilute the sourness. Secure the lid on the container and shake it using a vigorous up and down motion away from your face and away from anyone else. Shake it for at least 15 seconds to mix the ingredients completely. Release the lid and pour the contents of the mixture over the ice. A slice of citrus fruit, like lemon or lime, works well depending on the juices in your drink. You could also float a small sprig of mint on top of the drink. In order to maintain a proper balance of flavor, the drink should be consumed before the ice has a chance to melt.

Article in English: As a general rule, you should wait 2 weeks to a month before making any contact with your ex. Making contact first and making contact quickly will send the message that you miss your ex, which, oddly enough, is not the message you want to send in order to make your ex miss you in return. In addition, staying in contact with the person does not give your ex a chance to miss you because are still chatting. At the start of a breakup, your ex might feel confident that you will cave in and be the first to call. After a week or two passes without word from you, your ex will start wondering why you have not called and may even start to feel angry. After another week or two, you will be on your ex's mind so much that he/she might be willing to acknowledge that he or she misses you. Within the first few weeks of your breakup, you should not return your ex's calls even if he/she contacts you first. Your ex might call you looking for a quick, temporary fix to get himself or herself through the initial hurt. However, if you want your ex to really, honestly miss you, you need to drag out the waiting period longer so that stronger feelings of nostalgia can form. One way to completely cut ties is to take a vacation. That way, you can't just run into your ex somewhere. In addition, it'll give you the break you need. Another reason to cut ties is you need time to heal. If you broke up, you're obviously upset. You need time to evaluate what went wrong, especially if you are trying to get back together, and taking a step away from the other person can give you the time you need.  During this month, get out of the house. Go do something you enjoy, by yourself or with friends. Get used to being independent and single. Regaining your independence can help you bring a new perspective to the relationship if you do get back together.  In addition, you'll be happier and healthier, making your ex miss you more. If you're stalking the person, you're not taking the space you need. Plus, if you get caught, you look desperate, which is not...

Article in English: As a goalie, you are in the unique position among your teammates that you can see the entire field of play. By paying close to the game at all times, you not only help your team gain advantages, but also ensure that you’re prepared to defend the goal if the opposing team charges it. Always keep your eye on the ball, even if it’s at the other end of the field. You wouldn’t want to be surprised if it is kicked to your end of the field. Since a goalie can see the entire field of play in soccer, it is important for him to effectively communicate what he sees to his teammates. This will help them know which opponents to watch or any patterns of play. The goalie can also provide motivation for tired or lagging teammates.  Tell your teammates about certain opponents or patterns of play either during a time out or while they’re on the field. It’s important that they know these things because it not only helps them on the field, but also will help them do their job defending you and the goal area. You can also develop and use hand gesture to cue your teammates about opponents or your own planned course of action. Don't shout at your teammates too often.  Be specific, concise, and decisive in your suggestions, but deliver the message in a polite manner. Remember, that you’re not the coach. If an opposing player is charging down the field to take a shot on goal, your job as goalie is to anticipate what move he’s going to make and then aggressively defend the goal. How you react in these situations can the difference between a save and the other team scoring.  Charge oncoming players to cut down the angle of their kicks and to make yourself bigger. Charging is also a useful tool to intimidate opposing players. Moving your legs and standing on the tips of your toes will help you react more quickly to incoming plays. Those few split seconds often make a big difference in the outcome of a situation. Make yourself larger inside the goal to intimidate charging players. You can do this by raising your hands above your head or...

Article in English: As a hardy perennial, it can handle the occasional drought, but that does not mean you should make a habit of forgetting about it. Once the top inch (2.5 centimeters) of soil feels dry, you can give the plant another watering. Note that confederate jasmine grown in pots may need more watering than jasmine grown in your garden outdoors. If located indoors, you can shield the jasmine with sheer curtains. During the winter, you should allow the plant to soak in at least four hours of direct sunlight each day. Indirect light is not necessary for jasmine planted outdoors, as long as the jasmine is planted in the ground. Soil dries faster inside a pot than it does in the ground. As a result, a potted jasmine indoors may struggle to retain enough water if kept out in direct sunlight for an extended period of time, while a garden jasmine can stay out in direct sun for several hours without suffering damage. If planted in a pot indoors, you should strive to maintain a daytime temperature of 68 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit (20 to 22 degrees Celsius) and a nighttime temperature of 50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit (10 to 13 degrees Celsius). Use a balanced, water soluble fertilizer, and apply it after you water the plant. If the leaves start to yellow later in the growing season, you may need to apply more fertilizer. Use twine or yarn. Training the vines to climb will maximize growth. Remove the bud at the end of the vine by pinching it out with your fingers or by snipping it off with a pair of garden shears. Doing so stimulates branching and results in fuller plants. The energy inside the plant will be guided away from the single flower bud and redirected toward side shoots, instead. Cut the stem off above the node. Regular pruning can be done to cut the plant back, but occasional pruning can actually stimulate further growth in the same manner that pinching the buds back can. Failing to prune your jasmine may cause it to grow wildly, causing it to overflow and get out of control. Pruning allows you to control the direction of...

Article in English: As a leader, you need to enforce clear rules and boundaries. However, your team will turn against you if you don't balance authority with compassion. When you enforce a rule, explain to your team why that rule is important. Instead of barking, “Don't waste paper,” tell your team, “Please try not to print something unless it's absolutely necessary. Our supplies costs are way up, and it's hurting the bottom line.” instead of second-guessing yourself. Stand by your decisions, but don't be a tyrant. Gather information, listen to a range of opinions, and make time for debate. Then, when the time for discussion is over, make a firm decision.  Suppose you and your friends are debating on what to do that night. Everyone is dilly-dallying and nixing each other's ideas. Then someone steps up and says, “Guys, we're doing 'this.'” That person rose to the top, saw the situation needed direction, and took charge. Keep in mind there will be times when you'll have to make decisions yourself and times when you'll need input. Ask yourself, “Will a snap decision compromise morale? Does a decision have to be made right now, or do I have time to discuss this with everyone else?” Be flexible and, if necessary, shift gears when new information becomes available. A leader doesn't micromanage their team or try to do everything themselves. When you assign tasks, define your expectations clearly and provide any necessary training. It'll be easier to trust team members to perform a task if you set them up for success.  A clear expectation would be, “Complete specification profiles for at least 5 installation projects by the end of the week.” A vague expectation would be, “Do some specification profiles.” When you need to train someone, demonstrate the task yourself, and narrate the steps as you perform them. If possible, observe them when they start and, if they make an error, gently correct them.
