Article in English: if you want to create pretty shapes. This is an easy way to make your cookies look perfect and professional. Fill the cookie press with dough and tighten the lid. Use the lever to squeeze the batter onto a greased baking tray.  Purchase a cookie press from a homeware store. This is a great option if you want to gift the cookies. Take the dough out of the bowl and place it onto a clean bench. Use your hands to squeeze the dough into a lump and then roll it into a log shape. Try to make the log a consistent width. This will help the biscuits to cook evenly.  Sprinkle a dusting of flour onto the bench to help stop the dough from sticking. Make the log 30 cm (12 in) long and 5 cm (2.0 in) wide. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into slices. Continue slicing until the whole log has been cut into cookies and then place the biscuits onto a greased tray.  Try your best to make each slice and even distance apart as this will help the biscuits to cook evenly. Move the log onto a cutting board to cut if your bench scratches easily. Leave 2.5 cm (0.98 in) between each cookie. Place the tray of cookies into the middle of the oven and set a timer for 10 minutes. Check the cookies after 8 minutes, and if they are golden around the edges, take them out. Transfer the cookies onto a wire cooling rack to cool.  Always use oven mitts when taking trays out of the oven. Let the cookies cool for 30 minutes. Keep the cookies in an airtight container in the pantry for up to 2 weeks. An airtight container will help to keep the cookies nice and crispy. If you want to eat the cookies at a later date, place the airtight container into the freezer for up to 5 months.

Article in English: if you’re having a conversation with someone. Listen when someone else is talking and give them your full attention. Focusing intently on the other person’s words will help you to respond in a more thoughtful manner when they are finished talking.  For example, if someone is telling a story about their weekend, give them your full attention so that you can ask them questions about it and comment sincerely on what they said. Don’t focus on what you want to say next while the other person is talking. You won’t really be listening to them if you do this and you might respond with something that doesn’t relate to what they were just saying. ” If you notice that you’re doing a lot of umming and uh-hing, this usually indicates that you’re unsure of what to say next and you’re thinking out loud. If this happens, close your mouth and pause for a minute. Take the time to think about what you want to say before you continue. It’s fine to simply say, “I need a minute to think about that,” if someone asks you a question. If you’re having a conversation with someone and unsure of how to respond to something they just said, ask them to clarify for you. Rephrase the statement they just made or the question they just asked and check to see if you’re understanding them correctly.  For example, you could say something like, “What did you mean when you said you didn’t like the movie’s structure?” Or, you could say something like, “It sounds like you’re saying you want to go home because you aren’t feeling well. Is that right?” This tip can also be used to pass time to think. If you’re in the midst of an argument or heated conversation with someone or if you’re just feeling nervous about speaking, taking a few deep breaths is a good way to calm yourself down, collect your thoughts, and buy yourself a little extra time to think. Take a long, slow breath in through your nose to the count of 4, then hold it for 4 seconds, and exhale slowly through your mouth to the count of 4. If you need a longer break to calm yourself down, try...

Summary in Russian:

Внимательно слушайте собеседника Остановитесь на минутку, если заметили, что часто хмыкаете при разговоре. Задавайте встречные вопросы, чтобы уточнить, что вам только что сообщил собеседник. Если ситуация напряженная, сделайте несколько глубоких вдохов и выдохов или найдите возможность уйти.


Article in English: if you’re in immediate danger. Get help immediately if the person has threatened to hurt you, themselves, or other people. Take their threats seriously, even if they haven’t been physically violent in the past.  Not all people with antisocial personality disorder are physically violent, but sudden aggression and reckless behavior are associated with the condition.  Threatening to commit suicide might be a tactic to manipulate your emotions. If you believe they have the intent and means to hurt themselves, call emergency services. If you suspect they’re threatening suicide to control you or have repeatedly threatened to harm themselves, stick to your boundaries. Tell them that you are not responsible for their actions and will not allow them to control you. Psychopaths are experts at manipulation, deception, and shifting the blame away from themselves. Your situation doesn’t have anything to do with you being naive or an easy target. Instead of blaming yourself, understand that they mistreated you and that you're not responsible for their behavior.  The point to bear in mind is that a psychopath typically seems friendly and personable at first. They might have been charming for weeks, then you eventually started noticing red flags. Suppose they disappeared for a couple of days, and when you asked them where they went, they blew up at you, threatened violence, and said it's none of your business. Additionally, remember that you’re not alone. A person with psychopathic tendencies disregards the wellbeing of others, and treats everyone they encounter as an object. Remind yourself that you are not the first person they’ve mistreated. Listen to your gut if you feel like you walk on eggshells around this person. If the idea of interacting with them fills you with dread, it’s time to leave.  You might be on the fence because you enjoy their company when they're nice. However, ask yourself if they're only nice when you do things for them. Suppose they ask you to drive them somewhere and you say you can't. If they blow...

Article in English: ign up for an online dating service. Online dating is increasingly common and almost necessary, especially in bigger cities. It's just the way people meet nowadays.

Think carefully about how you summarize yourself in the profile. Pull out the most distinctive, interesting and true things about yourself to put out there for all to read.

No nudes and no drunk pics. Not a good idea. There's no reason to over-sell yourself. Keep some privacy, even though you're dating online.

Article in English: in advance. While one child is affordable, many children can soon blow the budget with 8 days of gifts! Sort out how many of the days you think you'll give gifts for, as well as the types of gifts you can afford, and what your budget can handle.  Keep in mind that observing the spirit of the occasion is the most important aspect. If giving gifts to siblings, keep in mind that each gift will need to be similar in price and value for each child. If children consistently complain about the gifts they get, prepare to leave gifts out of Hanukkah for one year: Teach your kids how lucky they are to be in a position to receive gifts at all. On each of the eight days, the tradition is for a gift of a particular sort is given to each child. However, it is important to recognize that the gift-giving part of Hanukkah does not need to be followed strictly or even observed on each day – it depends on your budget, your enthusiasm, and, of course, your interpretation of this part of celebrating Hanukkah. Approach Hanukkah gift giving in the way that your family believes is the most appropriate. For some parents, giving very modest gifts of the same kind several times over is not unusual (for example, giving small amounts of coins or chocolate coins several times during the week), while other parents favor one single large gift at the end, with extremely modest gifts in between (such as Hanukkah decorations), or daily donations to charity in the child's name. As with any religious holiday where gifts are involved, it is important to spend a little time relating the gift giving to the occasion being celebrated. Make it an enjoyable time of learning, with the whole family involved in talking about Hanukkah and celebrating it together.  Read How to celebrate Hanukkah for details on celebrating Hanukkah as a whole. If you're a teacher, read How to teach about Chanukkah in the classroom for more ideas.

Article in English: in bunches or on screens. You can use a food dehydrator, hang it upside down in to dry in a cool, dark spot in your home, or dry it outside on screens in the sun. The latter method affects the color of the dried lavender, since time in the sun will lighten it. If you opt to hang your lavender to dry, use twine or twist ties to gather the stalks in bunches and hang the bunches upside down off of hooks or nails. Retie the stocks as necessary to keep them together, since they will shrink while drying. Storing the lavender away from sun and heat will help it last as long as possible. The small variety of lavender makes the finest final product but requires the most additional processing. To remove the flowers from the stems, lay the lavender between 2 1'x 2' sheets of plywood. Crush and roll the stems between the wood pieces. Pour the crushed lavender through a sieve to catch the flowers. Now it's time to put the lavender to use. You can place the dried stems in vases to decorate your home, use the flowers to make sachets, or make delicious confections with your harvest. Here are a few ideas:    Make lavender soap. Add a few spoonfuls of lavender to cookie batter to  Make lavender sugar cookies.   Make lavender oil to infuse your home with a wonderful flowery scent.

Article in English: in cold water. After rinsing the socks, wash them separately in your washing machine using cold water and regular detergent. This will help lock the dye into the fibers of the fabric so the colors last longer.  Wash your socks separately a few times before throwing them in with other other clothes to prevent the dye from running. Your socks should be dried according to their fabric care instructions. In most cases, using your dryer is perfectly fine.

Article in English: in cold water. Before boiling white rice, it’s a good idea to rinse it. That removes any dusty starch that might be on the rice so it doesn’t stick together when it cooks. Place 1 cup (195 g) medium- or long-grain white rice in a strainer, and rinse it under cold running water. Rinsing the rice isn’t always necessary. Some rice may have more starch on it than others, though, so you may just want to get in the habit of doing it with every batch that you boil. Add 2 cups (470 ml) of water to a small saucepan, and place it on the stove at medium-high to high heat. Allow the water to heat until it comes to a roiling boil.  When you’re making white rice, use a use a 1:2 ratio for the rice and water. That means for every 1 cup of rice you plan to make, use 2 cups of water. As it cooks, rice expands so it’s important to use a pan that’s large enough for the amount that you’re making. In general, a 2-quart (2.5 L) pan is large enough for 1 to 2 cups of uncooked rice. Once the water comes to a boil, add the rice and ½ teaspoon of  (2.84 g) salt and stir gently. Allow the pot to come to a gentle simmer. You can also add 1 tablespoon (14 g) of butter or oil to flavor the rice and keep it from sticking together as it cooks. After the pot reaches a simmer, turn the burner’s heat down to low, and cover the pot with its lid. Allow the rice to cook for approximately 18 minutes. At that point, start checking its texture. When the rice is finished, it will be firm but not crunchy. You want it to be tender, so it’s okay if it’s somewhat sticky. However, make sure that you don’t cook it so long that it becomes gummy.  Don’t take the lid off the pot before the 18 minute mark. It helps trap steam that aids in the cooking process, so if you remove the lid, it may take longer for the rice to finish. If you don’t have a lid for your pot, use foil to cover it while the rice cooks. Just make sure to cinch the foil around the edges so the steam can’t escape. If there’s still water left in the pot when the rice is finished cooking, you...

Article in English: in hardback to appeal to critics and aesthetic readers. Publishing your book in hardback will be expensive, but many readers may love the higher quality. It also might help your book get picked up by news outlets and book critics, who are more likely to consider a hardback as a more “literary” work--unfair as that may be! Trade paperbacks are still weighty, about the same size as hardbacks, and printed on good paper. They have the advantage of quality craftsmanship coupled with a lower price than a hardback edition. The book still looks good, so it can appeal to readers who are on a budget but still care about a book’s appearance. A small, mass-market edition will be the cheapest to buy and produce. They may not look as good as hardback or trade paperback versions, but publishing companies consider mass-market copies as great ways to introduce new authors and help them grow their readership. This is a rapidly-growing medium that will expose you to many different readers online and help you conserve even more money by saving on printing costs. You may not get the satisfaction of holding the physical book in your hands, but remember that e-publishing can serve as a stepping stone to print publishing. You’re on your way!

Article in English: in its wooden box for easy warmed-up cheese. Remove the cheese from the box and take any wrappings off. Set the cheese back in the box bottom, and place it on a baking sheet without the lid on it. Heat the cheese in the oven for 10 minutes at 400 °F (204 °C). After 10 minutes, make sure the cheese has melted before pulling it out of the oven. Try dipping toasted pieces of bread in the cheese for a delicious snack. If you've heated up the grill for dinner, cook Camembert in the coals for an appetizer or dessert. Wrap the Camembert tightly in foil, then set it in the hot coals for about 20-30 minutes. Use tongs to remove it, then set it back in the original wooden wheel it came in. As an accompaniment, you can heat up freshly made garlic bread in foil alongside the cheese. Cover the Camembert with several slices of thin ham, making sure the whole thing is enveloped in several layers of the ham. Heat up a skillet with a little butter or olive oil in it. Place the Camembert in the skillet, and sear both sides of the ham and cheese wedge.  Once the cheese has been in the skillet for a few minutes on both sides, it should be nice and melted on the inside. Serve the cheese with bread or crackers.

Article in English: in the home. The centipedes will have nothing to eat, and will hopefully die or move in with the neighbors A centipede without food is as good as a dead or soon-to-be-vacating centipede. Centipedes dry out and die if they don't stay in a moist environment. Clean up basements, closets, or any other damp areas, and use a dehumidifier. Place packets of silica in the dampest places of your home. Silica is an absorbent that wicks away moisture from the air and ground. Look for silica packets in new shoes, for example, or buy some cheaply. Keep them in the dampest places of your home. Place firewood, mulch, tarpaulins, and compost bins away from the perimeter of the house and as far away as possible. Remove any compost, leaves, wood, and organic debris. Consider getting rid of damp items like compost bins if possible. This will keep the bugs from entering your home in the first place.  Seal any cracks in concrete foundations, and caulk spaces around doors and windows.  Apply weatherstripping to the outside of your house to discourage centipede intrusion. Caulk any holes between walls. Look at gutters and downspouts and clear away away leaves, branches, or other material that may be blocking the water's natural flow down the gutter. This could be a potential home for centipedes. For a natural way to discourage centipedes from vacationing in your home, try laying down a thin layer of cayenne pepper at entrance points, both outside and inside your home. Dogs and cats should stay away from it, although they won't be seriously hurt if they happen to get a little curious.

Article in English: in the morning. Your metabolism and digestive system will start working more efficiently, and will process waste out of your body more quickly.  Focus especially on cardio exercises (as opposed to strength training); activities like running or jogging will raise your heart rate  and help you burn off calories.  Walk, run, or do another cardio exercise for 20 to 30 minutes when you wake up. Go to the gym before work, rather than afterwards. Be careful not to exhaust yourself or exercise within one day to an unhealthy degree. It only takes light to moderate exercise to start your digestive tract working. Fiber will help keep food moving through your digestive tract, and push waste out of your colon. Choose oatmeal, quinoa, low-fat Greek yogurt, unsalted nuts, a veggie omelet, or whole fruits.  Eat your breakfast within 90 minutes of waking up. Plan to consume between 300 and 600 calories for breakfast. You should be consuming 25 to 30 grams of fiber per day, so increase your intake as needed to reach these levels. If you’re looking for a healthy breakfast, try this: combine your oatmeal, yogurt, and fruit in a smoothie. Put some leafy greens in the smoothie for added nutrition. These natural diuretics (foods that increase the production urine and excrement) can help you to have a bowel movement. Plan today’s meals around these foods that will help you lose both water weight and excrement.  Eat fruit like melon, cranberries, and tomatoes. Eat vegetables like asparagus, celery, parsley, cucumbers, fennel, lettuce, Brussels sprouts, carrots, and beets. Sip on tea that contains dandelion leaf, green tea, and nettle.

Article in English: in the olive oil. Heat 'em up in your saucepan until softened and turning golden brown. Stir well, being sure everything is coated with the olive oil. And if you need a bit more olive oil, no one's going to tell on you! By the way, you peeled and sliced your carrots, right? That outer stuff (you know, the part that lived in dirt) isn't what you're going for here. But they're gonna get puréed later, so it's not like they have to be pretty. Just chop 'em up into finger-width pieces. Keep an eye on the onions especially -- if they're overcooking, turn the heat down a notch. Sometimes carrots get a little bitter inexplicably when cooked. If that's the case (give 'er a taste test), add a tablespoon of brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup to offset it. The rice is, of course, optional. You could also substitute potatoes for the rice -- or just not worry about either. Whatever you choose, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.  Make sure to add the liquid before or immediately after adding the rice. Otherwise, it'll burn! Want to get a little Asian up in here? You can use coconut milk as a bit of the liquid, too! The hand blender is super easy to use--you literally just place it in your pot and go. Then when you're done, rinse it off and you're good to go. But if this need was unforeseen, a food processor or even blender will work, too. If you didn't purée it in the pan, take it back to the pan and reheat. Season with salt and pepper and season to taste, garnishing with green onion or parsley if desired. Be sure to serve it to your guests warm! Other good garnishes? Nuts, bacon, grated cheese, dill and mint. And don't forget the bread and butter!

Article in English: into decimal form. To convert the fraction into a percentage, it is easiest to have a decimal number. For our example, 1/10 = 0.1. Calculators will be able to convert more difficult numbers quickly for you.  If you cannot use a calculator, it may take using long division to convert the fraction to a decimal. Usually, about 4 or 5 digits past the decimal place will be sufficient to round to. You should always be dividing a positive number by a positive number when converting to decimal form. the result times 100. Simply multiply the result, 0.1 in this example, by 100. This will convert the answer into percentage form. Just add the percentage symbol to the answer, and you're done. In this example, 0.1 x 100 = 10. Add the percent sign to get 10%, your percentage error. Often swapping signs (positive/negative) and dividing can lead to minor errors in your calculations. It is best to go back to check your answer makes sense.  In our example, we want to make sure that our approximation of 9 oranges is off by 10% of the actual value of oranges. 10% (10% = 0.1) of 10 oranges is 1 (0.1 x 10 = 1). 9 oranges + 1 = 10 oranges. This confirms that the guess of 9 was indeed off by just 1 oranges or 10% of the actual value of 10 oranges.

Article in English: into your diet. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that help you digest foods and protect you from disease. These bacteria can help your gut to digest and eliminate ammonia more effectively. Some common foods that add probiotics into your diet include fermented dairy products, such as kefir, and fermented foods, such as sauerkraut. For example, try to eat a serving of yogurt every day. Yogurt is very high in probiotics and it can help your digestion, as well as your overall health. Red meat protein is more likely to increase the ammonia in your blood than other types of animal proteins. If you know you have high ammonia levels, it's best to eat other types of meat, such as chicken. Vegetable protein, such as that in beans, digests more slowly than protein that comes from animals. Therefore, your body has more time to dispose of the ammonia created while it is digested. With this in mind, it's best to choose vegetable proteins if you are working to keep your ammonia levels low. Eating a vegetarian diet also provides more dietary fiber and amino acids, which both help balance your ammonia levels. Ammonia is a byproduct of protein digestion in the body. Because of this, it is important to limit your protein intake if you are experiencing particularly high levels of ammonia in the blood. High levels of ammonia are usually identified due to an increase in symptoms. For example, if you have liver disease and you are experiencing abnormal brain function, it's a good idea to limit your protein intake as you recover.

Article in English: isten to the music. Love it or hate it (since you're here, you probably fall more in the first category), it's still good to know the bands. You'd be on this page all day if we covered them all, so here's a few to get started: Some  examples:  The Clash The Exploited Minor Threat Rancid The Distillers Stolen Wheelchairs Operation Ivy The Casualties My Chemical Romance Green Day Stiff Little Fingers The Banshees Dead Kennedy Be aware that if you rock the tee-shirt, someone may come up to you and say, "Duuuuude, I love the Adicts! What'd you think of Joker In The Pack?" And then you'll be forced to either make something up and hope for the best, say, "Omg, look over there!" and run the other direction, or admit that you just bought the t-shirt because you thought it looked cool. So do yourself a favor and be part of the scene. If you don't know anything about the band and just bought it because of the logo, you're doing it wrong. Anything you hate in the world, rebel against it. This is way more important than the clothes. You can be a true original punk and not have all the cool clothes -- the clothes don't mean anything, just a way of identification. In fact, some punk lifers swear that fashion is just a distraction. You do not necessarily need something to rebel against, but "police" generally works in most situations. The man, the establishment, authority in general. Angst is very at home here in punk land. If you get a raised eyebrow or two because of your tutu, awesome. If the family doesn't understand why you're wearing a tie over your Black Flag t-shirt, tell them to go to Wikipedia. If your teacher is worried you're going through a detrimental phase, well, prove her wrong by getting an A on the next project. What they think may seem to matter now, but it in the scheme of things, it so doesn't. That's really at the heart of being punk. And don't even pay attention to other "punk" enthusiasts. If they tell you your look isn't punk, they don't get it. Punk isn't something you can put into a box and say...

Article in English: l less stressed. Not getting enough sleep can increase the production of stress hormones, which can trigger acid reflux, put you at higher risk for chronic diseases, and lower life expectancy. If you suffer from sleep apnea or insomnia, talk to your doctor for possible treatments. Strategies for getting enough sleep include a quiet, dark, cool environment and avoiding caffeine, alcohol, and sugary foods for 4-6 hours before bed. You should also avoid eating 2-3 hours before bed and work or exercise 3-4 hours before bed. Sleeping on your stomach or lying flat on your back right after a meal can promote stomach acids, causing indigestion and heartburn. Try sleeping on your left side with a firm pillow between your knees to prevent stress on your spine, hips, and lower back. Some studies show that sleeping on the left side limits the flow of stomach acid into the esophagus by supporting the body’s natural curves.  Pull your knees up slightly toward your chest. The pillow for your head should keep your spine straight. A rolled towel or small pillow under your waist may also help support your spine.  If you have a respiratory condition or cold, try to prop your head up on a pillow to improve airflow. The pillow for your head should support the natural curve of your neck and be comfortable. A pillow that's too high can put your neck into a position that causes muscle strain on your back, neck, and shoulders. This can increase stress, cause headaches and trigger acid reflux. Choose a pillow that will keep the neck aligned with the chest and lower back. The type of clothing you wear can affect your acid reflux, especially if you’re overweight. Tight clothing can increase pressure in your abdominal area, which can force the contents of your stomach back up into your esophagus. Be sure to wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing. For instance, wear pants that have stretch or a skirt or dress that flows over your abdomen. In general, you should avoid exercising for at least 2–4 hours after eating. If you frequently have...

Article in English: method. A baker's cyst is a fluid-filled cyst that causes a bulge at the base of the knee. It's usually the result of an existing knee injury or a chronic condition like arthritis. Caring for your joints via the R.I.C.E. method can help.  R.I.C.E. stands for resting your leg, icing your knee, compressing your knee with a wrap, and elevating your leg whenever possible. Rest your leg, preferably in an elevated position, as the cyst persists. Make sure to never place an ice pack directly on your body. Always wrap it in a cloth or towel first.  When wrapping your leg, buy a wrap at a drugstore and follow the instructions on the package. If you have any conditions that increase your risk of blood clots, do not wrap your leg without consulting with a doctor first. R.I.C.E. might treat underlying joint pain that caused a the cyst to begin with. The cyst may decreases in size and stop causing pain. Try over the counter pain meds. While resting an elevating your leg, medications like ibuprofen, acetaminophen (Tylenol), and aspirin can help ease some of the pain. In order to get the cyst removed, you need a doctor to drain it. If your baker's cyst does not respond to the R.I.C.E. method, see a doctor about having it removed medically.  The fluid will be drained from your knee using a needle. While this is not extremely painful, many people find the activity anxiety-inducing. If you fear needles, as a friend or family member to come with you for support.  Once the doctor drains the fluid, the baker's cyst should be gone. However, there is a chance the cyst will reoccur in the future. Talk to your doctor about any underlying health conditions that might have caused the cyst. After the cyst is drained, your doctor might recommend you engage in regular physical therapy. Gentle motion, guided by a trained therapist, can help you get your joints back in form. It can also help address any issues that caused the cyst to develop. Ask your doctor for a recommendation for a physical therapist after your cyst is drained.

The way Minecraft works is a little different than the way other games do in this regard: you can download Minecraft at any time for free, but you need to pay for an account to play the full version.  To get the Minecraft "launcher" (the application you use to play the game), first go to Minecraft.net. On the right, you'll see three options: "Get Minecraft," "Play the demo," and "Already bought the game? Download it here." Even though you haven't paid for it yet, pick the last option.  On the next page, if you're working on a Windows PC, click the link for either Minecraft.msi or Minecraft.exe. Your download will start. If you're on Mac or Linux, click "Show all platforms" and choose the appropriate option. Once your download is complete, run the file. The install process should start immediately. Simply follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation. The installation should go smoothly for the vast majority of users. However, if you have problems downloading or installing Minecraft, try consulting the official help resources at help.mojang.com. Once the installation finishes, the Minecraft launcher should start up immediately. If it doesn't, you can always start it by opening it from the directory you installed it to. When the launcher opens, it will ask you for your login information so that it verify whether or not you have paid for the game. Since you don't have an account yet, click "Register." Without an account, you can't play the game at all — not even the demo. Clicking the "Register" button will open a window in your default web browser that takes you to the Mojang website to create an account. Follow the prompts to register a username and password. You will need to provide a valid email address so that you can receive a validation email as part of the registration process.

Article in English: of the submerged portion of the object. The force of buoyancy that acts on an object is directly proportional to the volume of the object that is submerged. In other words, the more of a solid object that is submerged, the greater the force of buoyancy that acts on it. This means that even objects that sink in liquid have a buoyancy force pushing upwards on them. To begin to calculate the buoyancy force acting on an object, your first step should generally be to determine the volume of the object that is submerged in fluid. For the buoyancy force equation, this value should be in meters3.  For objects that are completely submerged in fluid, the submerged volume will be equal to the volume of the object itself. For objects that are floating on the surface of a fluid, only the volume under the surface of the fluid is considered. As an example, let's say that we want to find the buoyancy force acting on a rubber ball floating in water. If the ball is a perfect sphere with a diameter of 1 meter (3.3 ft) and it's floating exactly halfway submerged in the water, we can find the volume of the submerged portion by finding the volume of the entire ball and dividing it in half. Since the volume of a sphere is (4/3)π(radius)3 , we know our ball's volume is (4/3)π(0.5)3 = 0.524 meters3. 0.524/2 = 0.262 meters3 submerged. of your fluid. The next step in the process of finding the buoyancy force is to define the density (in kilograms/meter3) of the liquid that the object is submerged in. Density is a measure of an object or substance's weight relative to its volume. Given two objects of equal volume, the object with the higher density will weigh more. As a rule, the higher the density of the fluid an object is submerged in, the greater the force of buoyancy. With fluids, it's generally easiest to determine density simply by looking it up in reference materials.  In our example, our ball is floating in water. By consulting an academic source, we can find that water has a density of about 1,000 kilograms/meter3. The...

Article in English: often. Another way you can prevent measles is to practice good hygiene, especially when you are in public places like school or work. Wash your hands often throughout the day. Use soap and water, rubbing your hands clean for 20 seconds or more each time.  You can also use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol to clean your hands during the day. Keep hand sanitizer in your desk or your bag and pull it out whenever you touch a potentially dirty surface in public. Try not to touch your mouth, eyes, or nose with dirty hands. Wash your hands before touching any of these spots. Sharing these items can lead to the spread of germs and bacteria via saliva. Spreading saliva to others and with others can increase your risk of contracting viruses like measles. Keep your utensils, water bottles, cups, and dishes separate from others. Do not share them with anyone. You should also avoid sharing lip chap or lip gloss with others, as this can lead to the spread of germs via saliva. To prevent the spread of germs, including germs with the measles virus, always cover your mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Do not use your hands to cover your mouth. If you do not have access to a tissue, cough or sneeze into your sleeve. Try to wash your hands as soon as you sneeze or cough, especially if you do so in your hands. This will prevent the spread of germs. If you start to experience the symptoms of measles, go see your doctor right away and seek treatment. Your doctor will examine your symptoms and review your medical history. They will then recommend a course of treatment and give you the measles vaccine so you do not contract it again. If your doctor confirms you have the virus, do not show up for work or school until you have received the vaccine. Stay home and isolate yourself so you do not spread the virus to others. Once you receive the vaccine, you will be safe to return to work or school.

Article in English: often. One of the best ways to regain flexibility and muscle strength is by stretching. In fact, stretching can be an excellent way to reduce back pain, you just have to be cautious not to over-stretch or you could accidentally inflict more pain on yourself.  Stretch your arms above your head while standing. If you begin to feel pain creeping into your back, stand up as straight as you can and reach your arms above your head with your hands pointing up to the sky. This stretch will help to release pressure on your nerves caused by distorted vertebrae. Try a split stance stretch. Step forward with the leg that appears longer. Keep your torso as upright as possible. Shift your weight to your forward knee as you bend it. As you shift, raise the arm on the opposite side from your forward leg as high as you can. Reach back with the other arm, keeping your palm up. Hold this pose for a few seconds. Do two to three sets of five to 10 reps each. Pain is a sign that you are doing the activity incorrectly, or that it is not good for your body right now. Any sharp pain or discomfort, tenderness, or swelling is a sign you should stop your activity immediately.  Mild soreness may be common after physical activity. Soreness usually occurs after you have finished the activity, not during it, and it should be temporary.  If you are not sure how to do your exercises properly, consider seeing a physical therapist. A PT can help you learn to exercise in the correct way. If you continue to experience pain, see a doctor right away. Walk, bicycle or attend aerobics classes to help build endurance. You should also practice exercises like the plank, which will help to strengthen your back while also providing pain relief. To do the plank: Lay on your stomach and place your forearms and elbows on the floor. Your forearms should be parallel with the ground. Rise up on the tips of your toes and hold your body in a straight line so that your back is perfectly flat. Your back should be a straight rod running from the top of your head,...

Article in English: oil water in a saucepan. You don't need to fill the saucepan with water, an inch or two will be enough to create steam. To serve four people, you will need about 1 1/2 lbs of carrots. Wash the carrots thoroughly in cold water to remove any remaining dirt or pesticides. Chop off the stems of the carrots with a small knife, then peel them using a vegetable peeler. You can then cut up the carrots any way you like: you can leave them whole, slice or dice them, or cut them into rounds. Make sure the water does not reach the bottom of the steamer basket. If the carrots are immersed in water they will be boiled, rather than steamed. Use a lid to cover the saucepan, but don't cover it completely. Leave a small gap on one side to allow the steam to vent. This should take 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the size of the chunks.  You can check the carrots for doneness by sticking a fork into them. If it slides in easily, the carrots are done. Although this is the recommended cooking time, you can steam the carrots for as long or short a time as you want, depending on whether you like your carrots very soft or extremely crisp.   While the carrots are still hot, you can mix in any flavors of your choice. They work very well drizzled with a teaspoon of melted butter, or quickly sauteed with a little olive oil, some garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice. And don't forget the salt and pepper.

Article in English: on what you understand by intuition. It's not easily defined; however, it is possible to reach your own understanding of intuition as an inner guidance, a "knowing", or an internal compass. In contrast to fear, intuition has positive connotations in that it helps us make our way through life by drawing upon experience that may be buried deep in our consciousness. Such terms as "gut feeling", "instinct", "hunch", and "just a feeling" are often used to describe the way our intuition influences our actions and decisions. However, it is very important to realize that intuition is more than just responding at an instinctual level; it is instinct plus cognitive consideration. There is no right or wrong answer as to how you define intuition; the best approach is to simply sit down and write out what it means to you. Fear is a negative emotion that expresses itself through physical reactions (such as fight or flight, sweating, feeling an adrenaline rush, etc.). Intuition is a positive set of feelings or guidance that, if heeded, can bring about better situations for us. Fear is an emotion that causes us to want to run away, hide, and not face the oncoming negative happening, whereas intuition is about heeding the possible dangers but having the strength, resilience, and wherewithal to focus our actions and attitude so as to face and deal with the negative occurrence.  As such, when you mistake fear for intuition, you are effectively telling yourself that something bad is about to occur but that you are powerless to do anything constructive about it other than worry, fret, or pray, thereby disabling your intuition and your ability to push past the fear. This is an attempt to either sideline intuition or to change its positive effect into a negative one.  Another problem with confusing fear and intuition is that instead of living in the present (as intuition does), you are living in a worst possible future (where irrational fear resides). If you're not focusing on the present, then you're not being intuitive....

Article in English: once at night, and once during your morning routine. When you wash your face, wash it gently and with warm (but not hot) water. The heat will open your pores and make the cleaning process more effective. Make sure your water is not too hot, so you won't burn your skin.  Make sure your cleanser is suited for your skin. Select a hypoallergenic or acne-formulated product. A highly perfumed, harsh soap will often make acne worse. In America and some other countries, the following are excellent and usually widely available: Cetaphil, Dove Sensitive, Neutrogena brand cleansers, and Basis. However, there are many "store brands" that may be less expensive and about as good. If you can afford them, higher-end brands like Boscia, Fresh, and Murad are good. Look for a face wash that contains benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid for even more acne-fighting benefits. Both extremes need special care.  Too much washing is sometimes as bad as not enough. Acne is not caused by dirty skin. Washing once in the morning, once at night, and if the face is very sweaty or to wash off make-up is plenty. Too much washing can irritate acne, actually making it worse. Dry skin can benefit from a face wash or soap that is oil-based or contains a moisturizer. Oily skin does not usually need extra moisturizer in its cleanser. However, be careful not to go extremely drying, either. If your face feels tight after washing, the cleanser may be too harsh. Depending on your skin type, you may want to choose a different moisturizer. The following are general guidelines, but everyone's skin is different, and you should feel free to experiment and find what works for you:  Oily skin: Choose a gel-based moisturizer. Gel-based moisturizers are usually better for oily skin, as they provide essential moisture without overdoing it. Dry skin: Choose a cream-based moisturizer. Cream-based moisturizers are heavier and longer-lasting than gel-based ones. Doctors usually recommend these for skin that needs something a little more heavy-duty. You can also find...

Article in English: once per week. Puggles have short coats that require little grooming, but brushing your puggle once per week will help to prevent his short, sharp hairs from getting on furniture and in carpets. Use a natural bristle or rubber hand brush to brush your puggle’s coat once per week.  Use swift, firm strokes to brush your puggle’s back, sides, stomach, and chest. As you groom your puggle, remember to check for fleas, ticks, lumps, bumps, scabs, and any other skin conditions. If you notice something unusual, then have your puggle checked by your veterinarian. .  It is important not to bathe your puggle too often or he may develop dry skin. Giving your puggle a bath about once per month is enough to keep his coat clean and soft. You can take your puggle to a groomer for a bath or do it yourself. If you decide to bathe your puggle yourself, then you will need to:   Purchase a special dog shampoo and conditioner. Never use human shampoo or conditioner on a dog. Some of the ingredients in human shampoos and conditioners may be harmful to your puggle. Instead, purchase a special shampoo and conditioner meant just for dogs.  Avoid your puggle’s ears, eyes, and nose. Getting shampoo in your puggle’s ears, eyes, or nose could hurt him and cause him to dislike baths. If his face is dirty, then just use a damp washcloth to wipe away any dirt or debris from his face.  Rinse your puggle well after shampooing his fur. After giving your puggle a bath, you will need to rinse him well to ensure that all of the shampoo has been removed. A handheld showerhead works best for rinsing your puggle, but a pitcher filled with water will also work well. Make sure that you check your puggle’s ears and clean them once per week as well. To clean your dog’s ears, take a piece of damp (not wet) gauze and wrap it around one of your fingers. Then, use the gauze to gently wipe the inside of your puggle’s ears and earflaps. If you notice any discharge, wax buildup, or other problems with your puggle’s ears, then take him to see a veterinarian as...

Article in English: one foot at a time for maximum relaxation. While focusing your attention on one of her feet, place the other on the soft cotton sheet, on a pillow, or in a warm water soak. Once you’ve completed the full massage routine on one foot, repeat the exact same process on the other foot. Ask her if one foot is particularly sore or tight, and start with that one. Start at the tip of the big toe and move slowly to her ankle. Then, move back down the same foot, using firm pressure with your thumbs while cupping her foot in your hands.  Work your way up and down her foot 2 or 3 times. If she's reclining on a sofa or bed, sit in a chair at her feet. If you're using a massage table, stand up. Hold her foot so that it’s close to your chest—this helps control the amount of pressure you apply. Use the muscles in your hands, arms and shoulders to apply the massage, not just those in your thumbs. Otherwise, your thumbs will cramp up and ruin the mood! Apply light pressure to the arch, rotating one thumb clockwise and the other one counterclockwise. Continue doing this for 30 seconds or longer.  Cup her foot with light pressure as you massage the arch with your thumbs. If you grab or rub too lightly, though, the massage is more likely to feel ticklish. Ask her if the pressure you're applying feels good, and check for other feedback (like "oohs" and "ahhs") that indicate you're doing it right. With her foot still cupped in your hands, slide your thumbs up and down the Achilles tendon, which runs from the heel to the lower calf. Then, use your thumbs to rub her heel in opposing circular motions. If the skin on her heel is dry, apply additional lotion or oil to your hands to reduce friction and discomfort. Cup her foot securely in one hand. With the other hand, gently pinch her big toe between your thumb and forefinger, near the base of the toe. Rotate the toe gently to one side, then the other, then gently pull the toe away from the foot by pinching and sliding your fingers towards the tip of the toe.  Repeat the same process...

Article in English: oodbye now. Putting off going to visit a loved one in the hospital is always a mistake, as is waiting until the last days before a friend leaves the country forever. Don't miss out on your chance to say goodbye and brighten their final moments. Alone in the hospital can be a terrible place to die. Be in the room and say what needs to be said. Spend as much time with your loved one as possible. Be with him or her and support them. Often, the dying want and are very comforted by one of four very particular messages: "I love you," "I forgive you," "Please forgive me," or "Thank you." If any of these seem appropriate, take care to include them in your goodbye. We often have the impression that death or other "forever" goodbyes are supposed to be a somber and joyless thing. But follow the lead of the person leaving. Your role is to be there for them and to comfort them in a time of need. If laughter is desired, or seems natural, then laugh. It can be hard to know how honest to be with the dying. If you're visiting an ex-spouse or an estranged sibling, there can be lots of tension burbling under the surface, and complicated emotions at work in their passing. The hospital doesn't seem like the best time to let loose and tell off your father for being absent.  If you feel like the truth will hurt the person dying, recognize this and change the subject. Say, "You don't need to worry about me today" and change the subject. It can be tempting to want to be overly optimistic, saying "No, there's still a chance. Don't give up" if a loved one says, "I'm dying." There's no need to dwell on something neither of you know for sure. Change the subject to, "How are you feeling today?" or reassure them by saying, "You look great today." Always speak gently and identify yourself as the person speaking. Even if you're not sure you're being heard, say what needs to be said. The goodbye process in death works both ways--make sure you don't regret not saying "I love you" one last time. Even if you're unsure if the person can hear you,...

Article in English: ook after your health. A healthy body supports a healthy mind. Eat a balanced diet and ensure that you aren't lacking in any necessary nutrients. Establish the cause of any problems you may experience, such as a lack of energy or a lack of concentration and deal with them by discussing with a doctor, nutritionist and related health professionals. Get plenty of exercise too but make your fitness choices according to what you enjoy. If you have a chance to shine, take it. If you are worried you won't have time and energy for a good opportunity, ask yourself: would this contribute to my end goals? If it would, then get rid of other commitments in order to pursue this opportunity.  Remember, some chances only come around once. You can't bank them. This doesn't mean you should throw away all your savings or get rid of your safety net. It just means you should say yes when you are given an offer to move ahead. Make friends with people you admire for various reasons: because they are happy, kind, generous, successful at work, or successful in other ways. Join forces with those who have achieved things you want to achieve, or who are on their way to a common goal. Don't let jealousy get in your way: nobody's success is a threat to yours.  When making friends with someone, ask yourself if the person makes you feel motivated, positive, and confident, or if they make you feel tired, overwhelmed, or incompetent. Choose to spend time with the positive people, not the ones sucking your energy. If you have friends or family members who always make you feel bad about yourself, limit the time you spend with them. Also, make sure to identify relationships that are not helping you to move towards your goals, that stress you out, or that require too much of your time and energy without being reciprocal.

Article in English: or  marinate your meats before cooking. This is optional but brining or marinating meat and then placing the meat on the grill will result in a whole lot of flavor.  Brining will especially make for more juicy pork, chicken, or turkey. A basic brine is about 1/8 cup of table salt to 1 quart of water. Make sure you have enough to cover the meat. Broth may be used instead of water (adjust for salt), a little sugar (honey, brown sugar, molasses) may be added if desired, seasonings (almost anything) can also be added for more flavorful meat. If marinating, be sure your marinade does not have too much sugar, or else it will burn on the grill. Placement is key when grilling, particularly if you are feeding a large party. If you're cooking for a lot of people, try to be deliberate in your placement of food, so that you can maximize the amount cooking all at once. That said, do not crowd the food together, as it needs some space both for better cooking and for you to be able to snatch it out or flip it. Some grills will have sections that get hotter than others. Keep that in mind when grilling, particularly if someone you are cooking for has a special preference regarding how rare he/she like his/her food. Once you've added the food, do not flip it or move it (unless you want to turn it slightly for cross-hatched grill marks) until you believe it's halfway done. If someone likes their burger more rare than the rest, put theirs on the side that's cooler. If your grill is pretty evenly heated, just put the food on slightly later than the rest to make it rare. Flame-ups are caused by fatty foods dripping onto the fire. You can stop flame-ups by removing the meat from the grill once the oil has risen to the surface of the meat. Shake the meat of it's grease then put it back on the grill at a lower heat. Try to limit flipping the food as much as possible. Frequent flipping can lead to uneven cooking, ugly food, and or losing a piece of food to the flames below. . Experienced grillers don't need to check the food very...

Article in English: or buy a green leotard. If you know how to sew, use a stretch fabric and a pattern to make a green leotard. Otherwise, check out a gymnastics, ballet, or theater specialty shop to find a leotard. Choose or create a lighter green leotard to mirror Poison Ivy's own suit.  Cotton, nylon, polyester, spandex and x-static all make excellent leotard materials.  Poison Ivy's costume is traditionally sleeveless, but you may add short or long sleeves depending on your comfort level. You will need enough green leaves to decorate your leotard as well as a pair of shoes. Decide beforehand whether you want to cover your leotard or make a design with the leaves. Purchase enough leaves to decorate accordingly Start with one or two bags of green leaves, and buy more if you run out. If your leaves came on a plastic branch, this will get them ready to put on your costume. Discard the stalk, as you will not need it for this costume. Paint the leaves with green or white glitter glue before you attach them to your costume if you want an extra shine. Let the glitter glue dry if you use it before attaching the leaves to your costume. or glue the leaves onto your leotard. Hand stitching the leaves on is more secure, but you can use fabric glue or a glue gun if you've never sewn before. You can cover the entire leotard or shape the leaves in a design, like a curve. Attach leaves over one leotard strap. Pay special attention to the neckline, and attach leaves along the edge. Heels are more traditional, but choose a pair of sensible boots if you plan to walk extensively in this costume. Use a hot glue gun to cover the heels entirely in leaves.  Add a pair of green tights under your shoes to complete the look. Choose a shade of green lighter than your leotard to add contrast. Ideally, your shoes should be green, red, or black to match your costume.

Article in English: or navigate public transportation. You'll never be fully independent if you don't learn to drive or how to get around on your own. How can you call yourself independent if you always depend on your boyfriend, best friend, or parents to drive you around? (This is assuming, of course, that you're old enough to drive). If you live in the suburbs and need a car to get around, take life by the horns and get a driver's license, and then work up to having your own car.  If you're in a big city, don't depend on walking everywhere if the weather is nice or waiting for a friend to give you a lift -- learn how the subway, bus system, or train system works. Depending on other people to get around will make you more likely to stay home or to wait around for other people to determine your fate. You should be able to do whatever you want to do -- whenever you want. Maybe you always call your dad for help with finances, or maybe you call your mom every five minutes when you're planning a big party or a wedding. Maybe you have a friend who is an expert in every possible thing and that's your go-to person whenever you run into trouble at work, with your car, or when you're trying to fix your TV. Make a habit of doing your own research before you call these people if you want to be more independent. It's great to have people to turn to, but the next time you pick up your phone, ask yourself: "Can I figure out this information on my own?" The answer will most likely be yes. Sure, it will take longer, but think about how much more rewarding it will feel. Are you tired of calling a plumber, repairman, painter, or even a trusted friend every time there's something wrong with your house? Learn to be more handy by watching useful videos, reading wikiHow, or reading Popular Mechanics. If you have a good friend who is a carpenter, ask for some carpentry lessons.

Article in English: overhanging your home so squirrels can’t get to your roof. Check the area around your roof for branches that allow easy access to your roof. Then, use a chainsaw to remove the branches, effectively cutting off access to your attic.  Squirrels will use tree branches as a bridge to your attic. They may even live in the tree most of the time but venture into your attic for nesting supplies or comfort during bad weather. If you aren’t experienced in cutting tree branches, hire a professional to do it. Not only could you get injured, you could also accidentally cause damage to your roof. Check both the exterior and interior of your home for visible holes. Then, use animal-resistant patches to cover the holes, which will prevent the squirrels from coming through them.  If you’re not sure how to repair the holes, hire a general contractor to do it for you. They’ll also be able to double check that every hole is covered. Ask around for a referral to a good general contractor, or conduct an online search to find one in your area. Secure the mesh screen by screwing it down. This prevents the squirrels from entering your attic through the vents.  These screens will not interfere with the effectiveness of your vents. A general contractor can also help you install the mesh screens, if you’re having trouble doing it yourself. Use a combination of mesh screens, plaster, and caulk to over any gaps around your wiring or plumbing fixtures. This helps reduce the risk of the squirrels squeezing though the holes or gnawing around the gaps to make them bigger.  Since squirrels are rodents, they can squeeze through very small holes. Additionally, they can gnaw around an existing hole to make it larger. As with the other repair jobs, you may want to hire a general contractor to take care of this for you. Measure the perimeter of the top of your chimney, called the crown, as well as the size of your flue. Purchase a chimney cap or mesh screen that is larger than the flue but smaller than the crown.

Article in English: ow him. If you want that special guy to start noticing you, you're going to have to put yourself out there. It's hard, but it's worth it. Look your best, work that smile, be friendly, and be yourself—he'll start wishing he knew you in no time.   Dress to impress. If you're that kind of girl (if you are a girl), wear a floral dress when it's hot out, or a cute black sweater when it's cold. Wear clothes that accent your features. Get a friend's advice on what looks good on you, or ask your parents. You want him to notice how well dressed you are every time he sees you. Don't dress in something you will not feel comfortable in. Dress the way you want to but, make sure that you at least look cute. If your school has a uniform wear a color or style that looks good on you.  Be clean and have good hygiene. Shower at least once a day. For example, if you practice on a soccer team or exert yourself after school, be sure to shower afterward to get all that sweat off of you. Wash your face in the morning and at night; you don't want pimples to attack your pretty face. Also, don't forget to brush your teeth! You only get one set of adult teeth. Look after them because bad breath can really push him away, and everyone else, too.  Smile. Smile when you talk to him, or when he's around. Smiling lets him know that he makes you happy. Glance at him during class, if you happen to lock eyes, smile, and hold his gaze without blinking for as long as possible. Let him digest the fact that you're thinking about him, and then look away like nothing has ever happened. Don't overdo it, though—that shouldn't be done more than once a day. It's not really necessary, and lots of guys like natural anyway, so go for a natural look when it comes to makeup. If you want to use makeup, be subtle with it.
