Article in English: Silica is used as a desiccant, meaning that it wicks away excess moisture. What causes your pumpkin to start rotting and molding? Excess moisture. The two are a devilishly simple but effective combination. Check your closet or dresser drawers, as you may have left some lying around from recent purchases. If you can't find any, packets of silica are available in bulk for very economical prices online. Silica packets are largely available with the following items:  Beef jerky Shoes and shoe boxes Cat litter Don't leave any lying around for your pets because, while silica gel itself is nontoxic, sometimes manufacturers add other toxic chemicals (for example, cobalt chloride) to the product. Remove the top of the pumpkin. Take a silica bead and embed it into the interior of the pumpkin. Don't stick the bead in so far that it changes the appearance of the pumpkin's exterior. When applying the beads, use 3/4 grams of silica for every 100 cubic inches of pumpkin.

Article in English: Silicone creams and other hairdressing products are made with oils like petroleum and lanolin or silicons like dimethicone or cyclomethicone. This may be the simplest method for straightening your hair, but it's important to pick out the right product. Some creams and hair-dressings make your hair look weighed down or greasy. Read some reviews before you decide which product to pick up at the store. Oil-based products are easier on your hair than products with silicones, but all creams and hair dressings will wash out with shampoo, and they won't cause long-term damage like other straightening techniques. Creams and hair dressings should be applied to damp hair for best effect. Shampoo your hair, rinse it out, and pat it dry with a towel to get it ready for the cream application. Depending on the length of your hair, pour a liberal amount of cream or hairdressing into the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together and then apply it to your hair, working from the roots to the tips to ensure every strand gets covered.  As you put the product in your hair, use your fingers to pull the strands straight down. This will help your hair lose its curl as the product gets to work. Use a wide-toothed comb to help pull the cream or hairdressing through your hair. There's no need to use a hair dryer or straightener; the oil or silicones in your hair product will keep your hair from curling up as it dries. Let your hair completely air dry, then style it as usual.

Article in English: Silicone gel or sheeting is one of the most effective home treatments for scars. While silicone works best on fresh scars, it can also soften and reduce the appearance of older scars. For the best results, cover your scar with silicone gel or a silicone sheet for 8-24 hours a day over the course of several months. You can buy silicone gel or silicone scar sheets at most pharmacies. You can also order these treatments online. A variety of over-the-counter creams and ointments are available on the market that may be able to help reduce the appearance of scars. Follow the ingredients on the packaging carefully and talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns. Look for ointments that include ingredients such as:  Retinol creams. These are particularly effective for treating acne scars.  Glycolic acid. This ingredient has also been shown to be effective for reducing acne scars, especially when combined with retinoic acid.  Protective or moisturizing ingredients, such as oxybenzone (a sunblock), petroleum jelly, or paraffin. Chemical peels can be helpful for scars that are not too thick or deep, such as acne scars or chicken pox scars. Ask your doctor or dermatologist about getting a medical peel done in their office. You can also buy over-the-counter peels that you can use at home.  Over-the-counter peels are not usually as effective as peels done by a medical professional, but they may help reduce the appearance of light scaring. Peels containing glycolic acid or salicylic-mandelic acid may be particularly effective. If you have a deep or indented scar, a soft-tissue filler may help reduce its appearance. For this treatment, your doctor or dermatologist will inject a soft substance, such as fat or hyaluronic acid, into the tissue under the scar to fill it in. Talk to your doctor about whether this treatment might be right for you. Fillers are a temporary solution since the injected substance breaks down after a while. You may need to repeat this treatment once every 6 months. Much like...

Article in English: Silicone gel sheets have been shown to be very effective in healing scars quickly. These can be purchased over-the-counter from a local pharmacy. Follow the instructions on the box to apply them to your scar.  In most cases, silicone gel sheets should be left on the site of the scar for 12 hours or more. You’ll have to reapply another sheet the following day. Healing time will vary from person to person. You may see your scar reduced in days, weeks, or months. Vaseline (petroleum jelly) has the effect of moisturizing skin and scars. Moisture on skin will increase skin growth and regeneration. This may, in some circumstances, decrease the appearance of scars and help them heal quickly. By applying sunscreen, you’ll help reduce the chance of red or brown discoloration occurring around the cut or scar. In addition, sunscreen will protect the skin, keep it moist and promote new skin growth.  Rely on a broad-spectrum sunscreen of 30 SPF or higher. You should continue to apply sunscreen for several weeks. If you have dermatological issues, you may want to consult your dermatologist. Talk to your doctor about getting corticosteroid injections. By injecting corticosteroids into the site of a scar, you may be able to heal it or reduce its appearance.  Steroids undermine the bonds of collagen fibers in your skin, which will help break down scar tissue. Once the scar tissue is broken down, new skin will grow in its place. Aloe vera is widely believed to help heal cuts and scars. By applying aloe vera to your scar, you’ll promote quick healing. To use aloe vera, simply take some and rub it on your wound or scar. Apply it up to three times a day to help it heal quickly.

Article in English: Silicone or rubber menstrual cups are reusable, flexible, bell-shaped devices that collect your menstrual flow. The cup should not leak if inserted properly and is one of the best alternatives to a tampon if you want to go swimming. Insert the cup before swimming, and leave it in until you can change out of your swimsuit into your regular clothing and switch to another method of period protection. While they can be expensive compared to tampons or reusable cups, disposable menstrual cups are flexible, easy to insert, and work well for protection while swimming. Just as you would with a reusable cup, insert the cup before swimming, and leave it in until you can change out of your swimsuit into your regular clothing and switch to another method of period protection.  Like reusable cups, disposable cups can be messy to insert and remove and require a learning curve to master placing them correctly in the vagina. Check out  this helpful wikiHow page to learn the process of inserting and removing a disposable menstrual cup. If you avoid tampons because you are concerned about the chemicals used in their production, a natural sea sponge might be a good solution for you. Sea sponge tampons are harvested from the ocean and contain no chemicals, and they are also reusable.

Article in English: Silk fabric has a tendency to shrink, which can alter the size and look of your sewing project. By prewashing the fabric, you will minimize the amount of shrinkage that might occur when you wash the fabric after you’ve completed the project. Typically, silk will shrink about 5-10%, with some looser weavers shrinking up to 15%.  Use a mild detergent, such as Woolite or Ivory Snow, with warm water, washing the silk in a sink or bucket. Alternately, use a mild shampoo. You can also wash some silk fabrics in the washing machine. Use a delicate cycle and a mild detergent.  A few silks, such as dupioni, should be dry cleaned only. If you have bright or deep colored silk, it’s best to wash these separately. Dyes used on silk have a tendency to run, and you don’t want to discolor your fabric. Take the time to do separate washes to ensure that colors don’t bleed from one piece to another. Prewashing strong colors will also ensure that the colors don’t bleed after you have sewn your project. Vinegar will help get rid of the soap residue that remains on the fabric. In a bucket or sink, mix in ¼ cup of white vinegar per gallon of water. Swish around the silk fabric to rinse out the soap. Drain the water and leave the silk in the sink. Put the fabric through a second rinse, this time without vinegar. The clean water will rinse out any remaining vinegar and will remove the vinegar odor. After you finish hand washing the fabric, do not twist or wring it out to remove excess water. Rather, lay the fabric out on a towel and then lay another towel on top. You can remove some extra moisture by ironing over the top towel using a medium temperature. There are several methods of drying silk fabric, depending on your preference. Try partially drying the fabric in the dryer. Remove the fabric when it is still damp and hang up to finish drying. Alternately, you can dry the silk between two towels, or let it hang dry right after you have washed it.

Article in English: Silk flowers cannot be dyed using fabric dye, because the fabric cannot be boiled. Although you can attempt using food coloring, it will likely rinse off the fabric because it is not permanent. The most success has come from dying silk flowers with acrylic paint. Therefore, you will need a tube of acrylic paint in a color of your choice, a container of gel medium, and water. Work through all your flowers, dying them using the aforementioned methods. After they have dried for about 3 hours, remove any painters tape you might have applied.

Article in English: Silk is a delicate fabric, so you need to take special care. Use a detergent that is designed for silk. Choose a gentle, cold water cycle and avoid washing silks with heavier fabrics.  Dry your silk sheets on a clothes line. If you must use a dryer, choose a no-heat setting.  To clean your satin sheets, you should machine wash at 40° Celsius (104° Fahrenheit). You can use a fabric conditioner in the final cycle to help keep the sheets soft. Avoid using bleach. Using bleach frequently will eventually damage your sheets. Dry on a clothes line or tumble dry. Linen is a durable, but tricky fabric. With linen sheets, you should use colder temperatures. Try to use natural detergents and use less detergent than normal. For example, if you usually use 1 cup (236 ml), try only using 3/4 of that amount. You can always wash the sheets again later if they are not clean. Soak the sheets prior to the wash. Soak the sheets in the washing machine with 3 squirts of dishwashing soap, 1/4 cup (59 milliliters) of borax and 1/3 cup (80 milliliters) of white vinegar. Let the sheets soak in these ingredients for 30 minutes. Then, wash the sheets on a hot water cycle.

Article in English: Silk pins are extra fine pins that leave very tiny holes in silk fabric. These are useful for pinning fabric pieces together without noticeably marring the surface of the fabric. Alternately, use wonder clips or binder clips to clip fabric together. The seam allowances are the areas of the fabric along the edges that will not show in the final sewing project. Since silk will show holes very easily, pin fabric together in the seam allowances to avoid poking holes in noticeable places. Typical sewing allowances are ½ inch or 5/8 inch in width. Iron the silk fabric to make seams more visible when you sew them. Ironing seams will also keep them in place while you sew. Use a low setting on your iron, and put a press cloth over your fabric to avoid direct contact with your fabric. Many irons have a silk setting, which is appropriate to use for this purpose. Silk has a tendency to fray easily, and after you prewash the fabric, there may be more frays than a brand-new piece of fabric. Cut edges to remove frays and to make the edges even. Trim away any loose threads.

Article in English: Silkscreens can only apply one color at a time, so create a simple shape or outline to begin learning. Whatever you draw will eventually be the inked part of the print. To make your own print, you need:  Poster board, thin cardboard, or other thick & sturdy paper. Pencil X-acto knife or another precision knife Screen printing isn't difficult, as what you draw is exactly what you get on the final print. However, there are certain principles and limitations to screen printing that you should know as you design your print:  You can only print 1 color at a time. High contrast images (like black on white) work the best, as you cannot use shading. For complex designs, you need to make multiple prints, one for each color, and layer them after the ink has dried. Sketch out the blocks of your design. You can upload photos or other images into photo editing software as well and use those. To do so, reduce the drawing to a basic two-tone outline then print it. To make a stencil on Photoshop, for example, you would take a black and white image and click Image → Adjustments → Threshold, then set it up near the highest it can be. Everything that you cut away will be un-inked on the final print, and everything covered by the stencil will be covered in ink. For example, imagine you are printing the red logo of a bulls-eye on a white t-shirt. When you cut out the stencil, all of the rings that you cut away will be white, and all of the rings that are covered by the stencil will be red. For complex prints, it can be very difficult to cut out the entire outline. In this case, use thick black ink on transparent paper to make your stencil. Your stencil or drawing needs to block light, as this is what etches the design into the screen and allows you to print. Everything covered by a stencil or black ink will not get exposed to light, leaving it "open" and allowing ink to pass onto the shirt or item.

Article in English: Silver makes a really lovely bell-like ringing sound when it is tapped on, particularly when it is tapped on with another form of metal. If you want to try this out before tapping on your questionable silver, find a United States quarter made before 1965. These were made of 90% silver while US quarters made later than 1964 are made  of a copper-nickel alloy. The older quarter will give a high-pitched, clear ringing tone, while the newer quarters will give a dull thump of a sound. If it makes a sound like a bell ringing, you have a real silver coin in your hand. If it's dull, the silver is, most likely, mixed with other metals.

Article in English: Silver maples and some red maples (but not Japanese red maples) will drop their seeds early in the growing season. These species do not go dormant, and there is no need for any special treatments. Some red maple trees will not drop seeds until autumn or winter; these require cold stratification. Even the groves that drop seeds early usually have alternate years of good and bad seed production. Seeds of this type will die if they dry out in storage. Plant shortly after you collect them. They should germinate quickly. Place the seeds on moist ground with plenty of leaf litter and other organic material. As long as the soil doesn't dry out, the seeds will require no maintenance. Silver maples grow poorly in shade. Red maples can handle shade for 3–5 years, but may have trouble growing if they remain under the canopy past that point. If some of the seeds fail to germinate, they will often sprout the following year. These are usually a minority of the seeds, but if you haven't had much success it could be worth leaving the area untended for a second season. If very few of the seeds germinate, and the climate has been fairly typical, the seeds most likely died in storage. Plant a new batch next year rather than waiting.

Article in English: Silver rarely needs washing when it's attached to turquoise and, as cleaners can harm turquoise, it's generally best to stick to a light polishing. Use a commercial polish designed specifically for silver. You can find a silver polish online or at some department stores. Read your polish's instructions for precise directions. Usually, you use a cloth or rag to gently buff the polish onto the silver. Keep buffing until the silver shines and any tarnish, dirt, or debris are removed. Work extremely slowly when cleaning silver jewelry. Silver polish, even in small amounts, can harm turquoise. Take extreme care not to get any polish on the turquoise. In the event that trace amounts of polish end up on your turquoise, remove them right away. You can dab them out with a paper towel or rag.

Article in English: Silver that is frequently used rarely has tarnish problems.  When tarnish is not yet present, or when it's just beginning to develop, simply wash your silver in warm water with a gentle, phosphate-free detergent. Make sure to use a non-lemon based detergent, as lemon-based products can spot the silver.  It's a good idea to wash silver separately from your other dishes because metal sinks and utensils can scratch silver, and stainless steel can damage the finish if it comes into contact with    your silver. Avoid using rubber gloves when washing silver, as rubber corrodes silver. Use a soft cloth to gently rub the silver clean and dry promptly with a soft towel.  Gently buff the shine into dull silver with a soft cotton cloth. Use nitrile gloves – they contain no sulfur that will promote the formation of tarnish. Cotton gloves are also acceptable. The high temperatures and rough washing can change the color of silver and cause damage, especially to pieces that are porous. Do all of your silver cleaning by hand. Using a silver platter as a cutting board is never a good idea. Avoid storing sharp objects in a silver container, and if you stack silver, make sure each piece is padded. Don't throw silver utensils in the sink, as they may get scratched by each other or other dishes.

Article in English: Similar festivals are held throughout India, but Karva Chauth is unique to the northern region. If you're participating in the festival, you might want to buy make-up and cosmetics (shringar), adornments, jewelry and Karva lamps and plates. Local shops and bazaars decorate their stores with festive Karva Chauth products so you won't have a hard time finding plenty of fun options. You should get up with your fellow celebrants before dawn and have something to eat and drink. If you're partaking in the festivities in Uttar Pradesh, you'll likely eat soot feni (a traditional Garbanzo bean and milk dish) with milk in sugar on the night before the celebration. This mixture allegedly helps to abstain from water the next day. The sargi(ਸਰਗੀ) in Punjab is a significant part of this pre sunrise meal.  The sargi is collection of sumptuous food items, and traditionally sent or offered to your mother-in-law by you, her daughter-in-law.

Article in English: Similar to "If-then" planning, setting physically measurable goals gives your brain a concrete place to begin striving toward.  It is always important to try your best, but "trying your best" isn't the best method of measuring your success.  Instead of saying, "I'll try my best to run a mile today," say, "I will try to run this mile in under ten minutes today."  Since "your best" is a subjective term, you might be more likely to say that you've "done your best" when you find it hard to continue on with a task.  For example, when you find yourself getting slightly winded while running, you might say, "Okay, I'm done.  That was my best."  Having a specific goal will help push you toward something that you can actually picture in your head. Now that you've set a specific goal, map out detailed instructions for achieving that goal.  For example, "In order to run this mile in under ten minutes, I'll jog ten laps around the tennis court near my house every day for two weeks.  After that, I'll jog 20 laps around the local reservoir, which is much larger." Even people who set specific goals can end up not achieving them simply because they don't have a concrete plan for doing so.  If you don't have a strict plan for reaching your goal, you won't know whether or not you're doing enough to reach it. It is reasonable to want to run a mile in under ten minutes if you are healthy and have moderate experience jogging.  Trying to run a mile in under ten minutes with asthma or during physical rehabilitation may not be realistic, however.  Goals shouldn't be so easy that you don't have to push yourself to achieve them.  If you've run a mile in under ten minutes before, try running it under 8:30.  Setting goals that you can achieve easily might be great for your confidence, but it won't boost your performance or help you grow as a runner.  Your goals should also not be so lofty or difficult that there is no real possibility of achieving them.  For example, trying to run a mile in four minutes is feasible for many Olympic track...

Article in English: Similar to selecting a good doctor or mechanic, you will want to look at their practice closely.  Investigating potential reflexologists will help to ensure that your treatments are of the best quality and that your money is well spent.  Seek out referrals.  Try talking to your doctor and see if they can refer you to any reflexologists in your area.  You may also want to check with family and friends who have visited any reflexologists in the area to get their opinion. Look for professional organizations and their affiliated reflexologists.  Research organizations such as the American Reflexology Certification Board, the Reflexology Association of America, and Professional Reflexology Association.  Look into any training or certification your reflexologist might have. Ask your reflexologist about the training they may have received and any certificates or accreditation they may have earned.  There are national standards for accreditation, which should have included around 110 hours of instruction. There are some medical issues and conditions that can prevent reflexology from being an option.  Alert your reflexologist about any of the following conditions, as they may prevent you from receiving treatments:  Do not get reflexology at all if you have any of these conditions:  Deep vein thrombosis Thrombophlebitis Cellulite on the feet or legs Acute infection with high temperature Stroke- in the first two weeks An unstable pregnancy   Only a properly trained reflexologist should work with you if you have any of the following conditions:  Pregnancy in the first trimester Insulin dependent diabetes Cancer Epilepsy Anti-coagulating drugs People taking high dosage drugs or a variety of drugs Having had recent heart surgery, within 6 months.

Article in English: Similar to using action or sensory descriptions, this approach is particularly useful when telling stories within an essay. Think about the mental picture you'd like to “haunt” the reader with—some visual picture that can capture what you feel is the essence of your story—and leave that for the reader at the end. Similar to highlighting on a theme, you can choose a particular action, event, or emotional moment from within your story that feels most meaningful, and then “echo” that in some way—by repeating the moment, by returning to it and reflecting or expanding on it, etc. Similar to highlighting a theme and echoing a moment, this strategy means ending your story by repeating something you introduced in the beginning. This is commonly known as a “frame” or  “framing device,” and it can offer shape and meaning to a story. For example, if your story begins with a person looking at a leftover piece of cake, but refusing it, end it with the same person looking at the cake (or a different one). If they overcame anorexia, you could have them eat the cake.

Article in English: Simon & Schuster are the original crossword puzzle publishers, and they introduced the official standards that professional crossword puzzle creators use. One of these standards is that puzzles must be one of five grid sizes: 15×15, 17×17, 19×19, 21×21 or 23×23. The larger the grid, of course, the more difficult the puzzle. In this context, “diagram” refers to the arrangement of blacked out squares on your grid. These should be arranged so that if you flipped the graph, the blacked out squares would be in the same places. Two-letter words are never allowed, and three-letter words should be used sparingly. If you’re stuck for thinking of big words, remember that it is also acceptable to use phrases. With some exceptions, the words in your puzzle should be words one can find in a dictionary, atlas, work of literature, textbook, almanac, etc. Certain puzzle themes may prompt you to stray a bit from this rule, but don’t overdo it. If one of the phrases in your puzzle is “lost at sea,” you shouldn’t also use “sea salt.” Again, certain themes may give you some degree of flexibility, but you should tread carefully. One hallmark of a well made puzzle is that the longest words are the ones most closely tied into the theme. Not all crossword puzzles have a theme, but most of the best ones do.

Add iced [brut] champagne until it attains the proper opalescent milkiness. Drink three to five of these slowly." The sazerac, created by Antoine Amédée Peychaud in the early 1800s, is one of the oldest known cocktails. Add a little absinthe to this stellar recipe to make it really stand out.  Add three dashes of absinthe to a bucket glass nearly filled with ice cubes. In a cocktail shaker with ice, mix vigorously: 2 ounces Osocalis brandy ¼ ounce simple syrup 2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters.   Pour contents of cocktail shaker into bucket glass. Stir lightly and wipe rim with lemon zest before adding it as a garnish. Finished. Place 1/2 lemon vodka in a shot glass. Fill 1/2 with absinthe. Float a slice of lemon on top. Place a sugar cube on top of the lemon. Drip on more absinthe. Light it on fire. Blow out the flame or use the backdraft method of putting your palm over the cup. Drink the shot.

Article in English: Simple baked tempeh can be made with either dry seasoned or marinated tempeh pieces. Baked tempeh is a great main dish paired with vegetables, rice, or quinoa. To make baked tempeh, do the following:  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or use a paper towel to oil it, so the tempeh doesn't stick. Place the tempeh pieces in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake the tempeh for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and crispy. Heat a drizzle of oil in a skillet over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, lay the tempeh strips or cubes in the oil. Cook them on one side for about 3 minutes, until they turn golden brown and crispy, then flip the pieces with a pair of tongs and cook them on the other side. Heat several inches of cooking oil with a high smoke point (like peanut or vegetable oil) in a deep frying pan or dutch oven. When the oil reaches a temperature of 400 degrees, put strips or chunks of tempeh in the oil. Fry them for about 4 minutes, or until they're golden brown and crispy. Remove them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. You can bread tempeh before frying it if you want it to have a crunchy crust. Dip the tempeh in an egg or milk, then dredge it in flour, panko or breadcrumbs mixed with salt and spices. Fry the tempeh as instructed. Cooked tempeh pieces taste great in any dish that calls for a protein. Decide whether the dish would taste best with baked, sauteed or fried tempeh, then top it with dressing, mix it with vegetables, add some sauce, or otherwise treat it as you would chicken, fish or tofu.  Add chopped, cooked tempeh to soup or stew. For salads, just toss the blocks of tempeh with greens and other ingredients to make a nice hot salad, or let the whole thing cool for a fresh, chilled result. Put strips of tempeh into sandwiches and build a panini, club or other option for a great taste that doesn't use meat.

Article in English: Simple but unexpected is often the best route to take. For example, these stark, colorful silhouette ads that barely even show the iPods they’re peddling couldn’t get much more straightforward, but because they don’t look like any other ads, they are instantly recognizable. A burger is a burger is a burger, but if you let yourself think like that, you’ll never make your sale. Use your ad to highlight your product’s advantages over that of your competitors. To avoid lawsuits, keep to statements about your product, not theirs. For example, this Burger King ad mocks the size of the Big Mac while speaking the literal truth: that is a Big Mac box, after all, leaving McDonald's no legal ground from which to retaliate. A picture says a thousand words, and if a logo is effective enough, it can render text unnecessary (the backwards Nike checkmark, the Apple bitten apple, the McDonald's arches, the Chevron shell). If you're running a print or television advertisement, try to develop a simple, appealing image that will stick in the minds of viewers. Consider these points:  Do you already have a logo? If you can, think of fresh and creative ways of re-imagining it. Do you have a commonly-used color scheme to work with? If your brand is instantly recognizable by the colors in the ad or the logo, use this to your advantage. McDonald's, Google, and Coca-Cola are good examples. How you create your ad will depend on which medium you're using to advertise. Note that if starting from zero, it takes a long time to acquire skill with a design app, or with design itself. In these cases it may be more helpful (and less frustrating) to browse freelance sites like craigslist and 99designs for design help. If you're looking to try it on your own, here are tech suggestions to get you started:  If you're making a small-scale print ad (such as a flyer or magazine advertisement), try using a program such as Adobe InDesign or Photoshop. Or, if you're looking for a free option, you can use GIMP or Pixlr. If you're making a video ad, try...

Article in English: Simple carbohydrates are digested rapidly, causing a sharp increase in blood glucose which can trigger reactive hypoglycemia.  Concentrated sweets mainly contain simple carbohydrates, also called simple sugars.  You want to eat foods with a low glycemic index.  Glycemic index offers information on how foods affect blood glucose and insulin.  A lower number indicates a smaller effect.  Read food labels looking for terms like sugar, honey, molasses, fructose, corn syrup, corn sweetener, and high-fructose corn syrup.  Products like candy, cookies, cakes, fruit drinks, soft drinks, and ice cream are concentrated sweets which will have a high glycemic index  You can use sugar substitutes like sucralose (Splenda), saccharin (Sweet’N Low), and aspartame (Equal) to replace table sugar.  Read the labels on “sugar-free” foods, carefully.  They may contain other ingredients that can raise your blood glucose too rapidly.  Sugar substitutes may cause other health problems. Glucose enters the bloodstream more slowly over a longer period of time when these types of nutrients are eaten.  Incorporate starch-containing foods like whole grain breads and pasta, potatoes, corn, and beans into your diet. Protein and healthy fats help to regulate blood sugar and prevent high blood sugar spikes followed by blood sugar dips (hypoglycemia). Fiber also does this. Protein can be found in animal sources as well as legumes (beans and peas), nuts, and seeds. Use complex carbohydrates and proteins as your major energy source.  Complex carbohydrates are made up of simple sugars connected together, like beads on a chain.  These complex sugars are harder to digest.  It takes a while for proteins to be converted into glucose in the body.  This slower digestion is why your blood glucose levels rise in a more gradual fashion. Healthy fats should be a major energy source too. They maintain proper blood sugar levels and they also provide long satiety. Fiber is a non-digestible complex carbohydrate found in plants.  The soluble type of fiber is...

Article in English: Simple changes, although temporary, help to break habits and assist in making long term changes in your behavior. If you can relocate strands of hair that can be played with, your hands won't find anything to do. This can trigger a mental reminder to stop trying to play with your hair. When you commit to braiding your hair, you can’t play with it because it will loosen and ruin the braid.  A ponytail or bun will work well. Keeping it off your shoulders and away from swinging in your face will remove the temptation to play. Hair stylists can help you find a style that will keep temptation to a minimum. In particular, keeping the hair off your face, out of reach, or styled using a lot of hair product will prevent unwanted hair playing. The desire to keep your hairstyle looking its best can be enough to stop you. If a shorter or more layered look is what you want, then make the change. Shaving your hair would be extreme; but if you like the look of it, you might love it. There are charitable organizations that use donated hair to make wigs for cancer patients who have lost hair due to chemotherapy. You can donate your hair to this type of program, which will help others and help you as well. A simple change in color might be exciting. It can make you feel better about yourself, or see yourself in a more positive way. A change in scenery might be just want you need to get motivated. If the “new you” wants to stop playing with her hair, pick a new hair color and create a new picture for the world to see. It could be quite a cathartic experience.

Article in English: Simple lack of attention is one reason why we tend to forget names. After all, there may be a lot going on. You may be at a party with lots of new people; you may be at your first day at a new job and are very anxious. Sometimes we just aren’t listening hard enough. That said, try to focus your energy on people’s names when meeting them.  Make a conscious effort. Also, make sure that you hear the name clearly. Ask the person to repeat the name if you miss it the first time. This may feel awkward, but it will save you the greater embarrassment of forgetting. One way to get a person’s name to stick is to use is in the first words of your conversation. Repeat the name several times in the sentences that follow, making a point of pronouncing it correctly. Then, when saying goodbye or moving on, use the name again. The repetition will help the name stick with you.  Say something along the lines of, “Hello Shirley, it’s very nice to meet you. Now, Shirley, how long have you worked here?” Asking about a person’s name is another way to repeat it in conversation. For example, “I’m very please to meet you Natasha. Do you go by Natasha, or just Tasha?” Or, “I really like your name, Sven. Where does the name Sven come from?” Asking a new acquaintance to spell out her name is a good idea, particularly if it is long or unusual. You might also consider asking for a business card, as well, and glance at the name while talking. If you have a visual memory, this technique can work very well.  Your conversation might go something like this: “Eupraxia, that’s a very interesting name. How do you spell Eupraxia? You don’t by any chance have a card, do you Eupraxia?” Repetition, again, is important. Try to use the name several times during the exchange. Look at the person’s face and try to make some kind of mental association with the name. Say that you’ve just met Frank. Frank has striking blue eyes. Remembering that feature, you might start to call him “Old Blue Eyes” in your head as a way to recall him. “Old Blue Eyes” = Frank...

Article in English: Simple over-the-counter pain medications may reduce swelling, inflammation, and pain associated with new braces. Try using pain killers and see if you notice an effect.  Ibuprofen can help reduce pain and swelling associated with new braces. Take the medication as recommended on the bottle. Avoid alcohol when taking pain medications.  If you're on any existing prescription medication, it is important to talk to a pharmacist to make sure over-the-counter meds will not interact poorly with whatever medication you're taking. Ask your orthodontist about special gels and medicines designed to reduce pain. There are many dental products that can ease the transition into new or tightened braces.  Several rinses and gels have medications in them that help ease pain. Follow all instructions when taking these medications. Ask your dentist if you have any questions about the medications. Bite wafers are products shaped to fit your teeth. You bite down on these products for a set period of time, which encourages an increase in blood circulation that results in less pain. Chewing gum can also help reduce pain. Barrier products are designed to provide some separation between your braces, teeth, and gums. This can help prevent irritation that causes pain and soreness.  Dental wax is one of the most common and easy to use barrier products. Your dentist will give you a container of wax and you simply break off a piece and rub it on the areas that are sore. Make sure you take dental wax off before brushing your teeth as dental wax can get stuck in your toothbrush.  There are also barrier products that are somewhat similar to whitening strips, known as comfort strips. You place a strip over your teeth and it forms a protective barrier between your braces, teeth, and gums. Ask your dentist about using comfort strips when you get your braces put in place.

Article in English: Simple yet effective wood curers can deter termites by simply increasing the strength of the wood. A small investment here can save you thousands in removal down the road. But be aware that over time as wood ages it will become softer and more vulnerable to termites. You can spray termiticide directly onto the surface of wood to deter subterranean termites from chewing through it. But keep in mind that spot treating wood will only protect against attacks in those specific areas and shouldn’t be considered a complete treatment. By creating a chemical barrier around the outer perimeter of your home you can do a lot to stop subterranean termites from gaining access to your house. This can be achieved by the use liquid insecticide. You have to spray the soil beneath the foundation with the insecticide. This should be done pre-construction and is a requirement in much of the USA.  It is possible to perform a post-construction treatment. To do this requires holes to be drilled through slabs and insecticide to be injected beneath the foundation.  There are a wide-range of products available for this, and in most states home owners can legally purchase these products if it's for personal use only. Online vendors have videos that you can watch so you can understand how to do this project effectively before you buy anything. If you are uncertain about how to do this, you should seek advice from a professional rather than risk causing damage. When you are using chemical insecticides, it is important to know which to use. The two main types of chemicals are liquid repellents, and liquid non-repellents. Each of these have their advantages and disadvantages, so be sure to have a good understanding of how each of these work so you and try to evaluate what will work best for your treatment. As the name suggests this is used before the termites strike, as it discourages termites from attacking the foundation of your home. It will create a barrier to stop them from entering your home, and will last for several years. While the...

Article in English: Simply add a quarter teaspoon of either dried thyme or oregano for each bay leaf in your recipe. For example, if you need a bay leaf for your stew but have run out, you can always use a quarter teaspoon of either thyme or oregano to replace it. Caraway and cumin are related, since they are both in the parsley family. They also have a similar taste, although cumin has a nutty and smoky flavor whereas caraway has sweet and earthy tones.  Start with a little less caraway than the recipe lists for cumin and then build it up to get the flavor profile you desire. You can also replace the cumin with ground coriander but you should be aware that it won’t be as smoky and nutty in flavor. The coriander will give it more of a lemony flavor. If you need a substitute for fresh cilantro, you can use an equivalent amount of fresh parsley, tarragon, or dill. Alternately, combine a bit of all three to replace an equal amount of cilantro. The substitute works best for garnishes. If you need to replace coriander seed or ground coriander, you can use an equivalent amount of cumin, fennel or caraway seeds. You can also use a combination of all three. If you run out of both fresh and dried sage, you can always replace it with an equivalent amount of a similar Mediterranean herb. For example, you could use any of the following substitutions:  Substitute marjoram for sage. It is savory like sage but has more citrus tones. Substitute rosemary for sage. Rosemary has more pine and citrus tones than sage but can work fine. Substitute thyme for sage. It has more mint notes than sage but will work nicely. Substitute savory for sage. It has a similar peppery flavor to sage so use it if you want to really bring out the peppery side of a dish. Savory is used in a lot of Mediterranean cooking and especially with meats and bean dishes, as well as vegetable dishes with mushrooms. Winter savory has a bit of a stronger taste so keep that in mind when adding the summer savory. You can also use any of the following substitutions:  Replace summer...

Article in English: Simply asking what you can do to make things better is only half of the solution. You also have to follow through. If you want the friendship, commit to making changes within yourself to prevent similar problems from occurring in the future. For instance, if your friends were angry because you stood them up to hang out with your girlfriend, let them know that it won't happen again. It may help to set aside special times or days to hang out with friends or hang out with your partner. If you have betrayed, hurt, or humiliated a friend, they may need reassuring that you still care for them. Remind your friend that you still love them and that they are important to you. Don't grovel or overdo it, though—this may come off as insincere.  You might say, “We all have been friends since third grade. I love you guys and I can't imagine my life without you.” You might also do something nice for them, like make a card or buy friendship bracelets. The best way to strengthen the bonds of friendship is by spending quality time together. Prioritize hanging out and chatting with your buddies over the next few days and weeks. This shows them that you are making an effort. Spending quality time also backs up your claim that the friendship is important. Many people avoid conflict with those they care about because it is painful. However, fights between friends help you recognize areas where you need to grow. Plus, making up often helps you remember why you care about one another in the first place.  Conflict may be useful for growth, but friends shouldn't always be fighting. Be wary of friends who are always starting fights or always blaming you for something. Arguments can also be a way to manipulate friends. Remember to offer balance during conflicts. Listen to the other person's concerns and validate them. This will encourage more constructive dialogue. Also be aware of when it is time to move forward and leave a problem in the past.

Summary in Russian:

Разберитесь с проблемами, вызвавшими раскол. Дайте им понять, насколько они важны для вас. Качественно проводите время вместе. Поймите, что конфликты делают нас сильнее.


Article in English: Simply avoiding places where he goes or hangs out, if possible, will send him a message. If he never sees you, he will likely stop thinking about you or trying to pursue you as much. Get on your social media accounts like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat, and block him from seeing your posts and photos and interacting with you. All of the major social network sites and apps have easy ways of un-friending and blocking any user you want. Try asking his friends or using what you already know about what he doesn’t like to make yourself less desirable to him. If he hates a certain sports team, start talking to him about only that team. If the sound of chewing gum or humming drives him nuts, start doing those things around him. An out-there move to try is acting the complete opposite and give him a lot of attention. Be completely overbearing and demanding of his attention, even acting like you’re already in a relationship. Take it to a ridiculous level if you need to. It may be that he just wanted the attention from you and will leave you alone once he gets it, or he will be so turned off by your over-attentiveness that he’ll back off.

Article in English: Simply block out the visuals of the movie when you anticipate a scary part coming. You can simply close your eyes or cover them with your hand, hat, hood, or a blanket.  If you want to be subtle, try feigning a slow blink, for which you just close your eyes for a few seconds at a time. You can also block your eyes with a low hood or hat to appear like you’re still watching when you’re really not.  Pay attention to the cues that the movie gives you to indicate that a big scare, called a jump scare, is coming. Listen for ominous music or look for when a protagonist is alone or in the dark, seemingly safe for the moment. Block out the sound of the soundtrack to make the visuals of the movie a little less scary. Often the music is what makes a scary scene more of a dramatic surprise.  Plug your ears with your fingers at the moment you anticipate a scary part. Remember to listen for the music starting to get creepy, but you can block out the sound once you anticipate it starting to build to a big scare. If you don’t want those around you to know that you’re blocking the sound out, try wearing earbud headphones or earplugs throughout the movie. You can hide them with your hair, a hat, or a hood. Just remember that this can block all the sound around you, and you may not hear your friends if they try to talk to you. Tell your friends or family a simple excuse to leave the room or theater when you anticipate a scary part coming up. Get up to use the bathroom or get a snack, for example.  Make sure you don’t use the same excuse too many times during the movie, or be gone for too long at a time. Actually bring back a snack if you say you’re going to get one; do your best to make it realistic. You can even look up online databases that tell you at what point in the movie a jump scare will come, so you know exactly when to make your exit. Have a snack, drink, or chew gum to keep yourself occupied and keep your jaw relaxed. Play with something small in your hands to keep them occupied as well.  You can try squeezing a...

Article in English: Simply doing an Internet search for the four-letter combination will result in several websites describing your Myers Briggs Personality Type. Read them in order to gain insights into your personality and determine areas where you can push out of your comfort zone and develop new skills.

Article in English: Simply double-click an Excel document to open it in Excel. Doing so will select it, allowing you to type into it. All formulas in Excel start with the equals sign. This should go directly after the "=" with no space. For example, typing "A1" into the cell sets A1's value as the first number in your formula. The asterisk symbol indicates to Excel that you want to multiply the value before it with the value after it. This will set the second variable in your formula as the second cell's value.  For example, typing "D5" into the cell would make your formula look like this: =A1*D5. You can add more than two cell names to this formula, though you'll need to type "*" between subsequent cell names. This will run your formula and display the result in your selected cell. When you click the cell with the formula result, the formula itself will display in the Excel address bar.

This should be the cell at the top of the range of data. For example, you might type "A1" here. . The colon symbol (":") indicates to Excel that you want to multiply everything from the first cell through the next cell you enter. This cell must be in the same column or row as the first cell in the formula if you want to multiply all the cells from the first cell to this one. In the example, typing "A5" would set up the formula to multiply the contents of A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5 together. This last parenthesis closes the formula, and hitting enter runs the command and multiplies your range of cells together, displaying the result instantly in your selected cell. If you change the contents of a cell within the multiplication range, the value in your selected cell will also change.

Article in English: Simply go to https://www.youtube.com and click the "create account" tab. Choose a username and password to create your account.  When choosing a username, you want it to be catchy, easy to read and related to your personality or the main category that you plan to discuss on YouTube. You will not be able to change your username in the future, however, you will be able to make new channels under your account that serve the same purpose. Choose a subject to talk about or make a creative, artistic video. You may want your first video to be an introduction to your channel and give people a taste of what you have to offer them.  An introduction to your channel can help you describe what your channel is all about. Why did you start the channel in the first place? What are you here to do? You can also tell your viewers about future topics, give them dates on which your next videos will come out, and encourage them to subscribe. Have a plan in place at least several months ahead. Draw one up and follow it fairly closely, with a bit of flexibility to meet viewers' requests and deal with the unexpected. Keep buffer space for the times when you're going to be too busy, too budget-crunched or even unwell or dealing with personal issues to be making a video.  If you know you will not have time in the future to make or upload a video consider making it now and scheduling it in YouTube for a future date. Quality over quantity is often the best aim. If you cannot think of something to talk about or do, watch other videos and gather ideas. After watching some videos you may be inspired to make a video response or even a spoof of their original video.  Don't copy other people's ideas. Parody is usually okay, as it is a common form of artistic expression that is not considered copying. But pretending another person's video script is also yours, for example, is copying. Some great ideas that have worked in the past are; prank videos, product reviews, how to videos, reaction videos, gameplay videos, makeup & shopping haul videos,...

Article in English: Simply mix together 1 cup (8.0  fl oz) of green tea and 1/2 a teaspoon of honey. Once the mixture has cooled, stir in 3 drops of jasmine essential oil. Keep your toner in an airtight bottle and store in a cool place.  Green tea is thought to boost skin cell rejuvenation. Boil the water for the tea for at least 1 minute to kill bacteria. Make an oil-controlling toner by mixing the juice of one lemon with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Stir in 200 millilitres (6.8  fl oz) of mineral water. Pour the mixture into an airtight container and store it in cool place.  Make sure to only use this toner at night, since lemon juice will make your skin more sensitive to the sun.  The apple cider vinegar in this toner recipe will help restore your skin’s pH levels. In a pot or dish, pour boiling filtered water over 1⁄2 cup (4.0  fl oz) a cup of dried rosebuds and let it sit for 1-2 hours. Use a strainer to separate the rosebuds out, then pour the water in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge.  Homemade rosewater needs to be used within a week, so only make as much as you’ll use in a week—1 cup (8.0  fl oz) should be sufficient. For extra hydration, add a few drops of geranium oil to your rose water.  You can purchase dried rosebuds online or dry them yourself. You can store homemade toners for up to 3 months after you make them. Be sure to use a clean container. If you are reusing a container, clean it out completely and boil it for at least 1 minute in fresh water prior to storing your toner.

Article in English: Simply place a few drops of color with a 2 tablespoons of water in a shallow dish. The more drops of food coloring you use, the more vibrant your dye will be. To keep it more natural looking, stick to one drop of food coloring with your water. Carefully dip the tips of your flower into the dye. Keep it upside down until your petals dry. This will take anywhere from 5-30 minutes, depending on how heavily you dipped your flowers. Because you’ve used toilet paper, it will soak up the dye very, very quickly. Remember this when dipping the tips of the petals. You barely need to touch the dye to add a lot of color quickly to your petals. Use different dishes to use multiple colors for your flowers. Once you’re comfortable enough dipping them, you can even use different colors per flower. To do this, simply roll the outside tips gently through the dye and then dip the taller petals into your second color.

Article in English: Simply put, not all German shepherd puppy ears are created equal. For example, thin ears that do not have much cartilage may not be stiff enough to stand upright on their own. On the contrary, thicker ears probably have enough cartilage and muscle development to stand up more easily.  Ears that are widely spaced on your puppy's head may have a harder time standing upright. Smaller ears are more likely to stand up naturally than larger ears. Although it is the breed standard for German shepherds to have upright ears, it is not necessary that your own puppy meet the breed standard. It is your personal preference whether your puppy should meet this standard.  Due to their structure, upright ears are less prone to ear infections than floppy ears. Upright ears also do not have be cleaned as frequently as floppy ears (about once a month versus once a week).  Floppy ears tend to trap more moisture than upright ears, are therefore more prone to ear infections.  Be aware that not all German shepherd puppy ears will stand up. This is known as “soft ear” and could lead to ear problems.  Consult with your veterinarian or a German shepherd breeder if you are undecided on whether to tape your puppy's ears. Even with the option of taping, it is preferable for German shepherd puppy ears to stand up without assistance. You cannot wait indefinitely for your puppy's ears to stand up, though—if they have not stood completely up by the time he is 7 to 8 months old, they are unlikely to stand up at all.  Be mindful that it is not possible to have 100% certainty that your puppy's ears will stand up naturally on their own. Some puppy's ears will be upright on their own in as few as 8 weeks. For other puppies, it might take as long as 6 months before their eyes stand upright. Also, one ear may stand upright before the other.

Article in English: Simply put, the science is still out on brain games. When put to rigorous, short-term scientific trials, brain games sometimes show an effect on cognitive ability and sometimes do not. The rise in popularity of brain games is also too new for any long-term studies of the method to have shown results one way or another. Anecdotally, many people do feel as though brain games have helped with cognition, so here is an example of an increasingly demanding brain game you can try if you choose. Begin by opening a large, clear version of this image. Starting at the top, move from left to right and top to bottom while calling out the direction the eyes are looking, e.g. ”down, left, up, right…” Time yourself as you go through the faces, and try to do it without any errors first within thirty seconds, then within fifteen seconds. Once you’ve gotten quick at calling the directions, try calling the directions from the face’s perspective instead—as if you were the face looking out from the page, e.g. ”down, right, up, left…" This approach is more difficult because it requires one additional processing step to correct for the face’s perspective. As with the first trial, time yourself and try to complete the picture without error at different milestones—thirty seconds, then fifteen seconds. Return to the exercise from step 2, but this time point your finger in the opposite direction of the one you’re saying aloud for each face, e.g. ”down [point up], left [point right], up [point down]…" This one will be even more difficult because you’ve added a motor skill component to the verbal component.  Similar to the idea behind why musical training can improve processing speed, this exercise requires the coordination of multiple brain modalities—visual to interpret the information in the picture, verbal to say the direction aloud, and motor to point in coordination with the rest. You can continue adding even more components to the exercises as well, calling out the face’s perspective direction only when you reach green faces or on...

Article in English: Simply put, what do you hope to gain from your survey? The questions you ask all need to point back to this essential idea.  For example, say that you're an employer and you want to figure out whether your employees are happy. The survey questions you ask, either directly or indirectly, need to address the happiness of your workers. You could ask them directly, "On a scale of 1 to 10, how happy are you at work?" or you could formulate a more indirect question, like "True or False: I wake up every day feeling like my work has a purpose." After you've designed all your survey questions, it might be helpful to go through each question and ask yourself how each one is helping you accomplish the goal of the survey. Any question that doesn't give you essential information about your survey objective should be removed. If your goal is to figure out whether your employees are happy, you want an honest answer. In fact, with surveys, you always want honest answers. But it can be tough to get an honest answer if your employees feel like they could lose something — respect, standing, etc. — by being honest. Think about whether or not you need to tweak your survey in order to get honest results.With an employee happiness survey, for example, you might want to give respondents the option of completing it anonymously. Some options include telephone surveys, face-to-face interviews, surveys by mail, and Internet questionnaires. Each survey method has advantages and disadvantages, which should be weighed against the budget, available personnel and other considerations.  In general, face-to-face interviews, although they are costly and time-consuming, deliver the most representative results and finest granularity in responses. On the other hand, online questionnaires sometimes come with significant biases, but they are the easiest and cheapest surveys to administer. If you're only going to rely on one form of survey, such as an online questionnaire, consider surveying more people to make up for possible biases. For the...

Article in English: Simply slide it along the rails until it comes free. Make sure there aren’t any dishes in the rack when you remove it. You can find the filter at the bottom of the dishwasher. It’s usually circular and can be found by the spinning water spout. Grab the top of the filter, rotate it counter-clockwise for a quarter turn. It should then come free from the assembly with a light pull. Some older dishwashers have a hard food grinder (or macerator) instead of a filter. Since they grind up fallen food, they won’t usually need cleaning. Turn on the sink and place the filter under the warm running water. Apply dishwashing soap to a kitchen sponge and rub the filter. Be gentle when you rub the filter as it can be quite delicate. If there’s some more difficult food residue in your filter, you can use a toothbrush to coax them out. Rinse the filter under hot tap water. Return it to its place at the bottom of the dishwasher, making a clockwise quarter turn to set it in place. Place the dish rack back onto its rails. You don’t need to let the filter dry before placing it back in the dishwasher.

Article in English: Simply speaking our worries or concerns aloud to someone else can be cathartic and gratifying. Anxious thoughts so often run on a loop in our heads that we believe them to be fact. Speaking to a close friend or relative who can impartially give you advice might help. Stating your concerns aloud might help you to view them as unlikely or silly, or your friend might help you to see that these concerns are not warranted. Support groups can be found locally through mental health and religious organizations. You can also join support groups online or by telephone. Participating in such groups reduces the burden of managing anxiety or panic disorder on your own. You can learn helpful strategies to cope with symptoms from individuals who have been in your shoes. What's more, support groups offer invaluable encouragement and foster the development of lasting friendships. Studies reveal that anxiety sufferers benefit from the social support offered in a group setting. Friends or family members may not be able to relate to what you are going through, but others like you can empathize with your situation and offer hope.

Article in English: Simply telling your parents, "you are being mean to me," will accomplish very little. You need to have specifics on hand in order to make real change possible. Spend some time asking yourself -- what exactly makes my parents mean? What can we do to change things for the better?  Do not think about this as a list of demands. You don't want your parents to feel like hostages. Think of a reason for each request. Let them know that a nickname they use hurts your feelings, or that you don't have time to clean your room because of homework and sports. Once you have calmed down, you should let your parents know that you need to talk to them about something important. Find a quiet place in your house where you can be alone and a time that works for your schedules, giving yourself at least an hour to talk.  "I was wondering if we could have a talk in the living room alone after dinner." "I have something that I really need to get off my chest." They may not be aware that they are coming off as mean. Telling them how you feel may be enough to make them reflect on their own behavior and find ways to fix it. Be honest, open, and specific, using stories from the past to show them that this isn't just in your imagination.  If you want them to listen, you need to be willing to listen as well. You may be surprised -- your parents may have similar feelings about you. Don't be accusatory or mean to them -- this will put them on the defensive and make them even meaner or angrier. Nod along while they are talking, keep your arms and legs uncrossed, and make eye contact with your parents while they are talking. Using your body language to let them know you are listening will encourage them to talk and make you seem cooperative and calm. Looking engaged will help you seem mature and reasonable.  Don’t sigh or use gestures that show that you are frustrated. Don’t fold your arms or legs-- this makes you appear closed off. Don’t doodle, look down at your hands, or fidget with something while they talk. Give them your full attention....

Article in English: Simply tossing your white clothes into the wash with a laundry detergent specially designed to get rid of stains is probably the easiest way to get rid of yellow stains. Wash your clothes in the laundry as you normally would with the stain-removing detergent to remove the stains in 1 step.  There are a lot of detergents on the market that will not only remove your stains, but also leave your clothes smelling terrific! You can find laundry detergent designed to remove stains at most grocery stores and mass retailers where detergent is sold. Add the capful of bleach to a load of white clothes along with detergent to remove stains while also improving your clothes' overall shine. However, make sure your clothes can be safely bleached before you wash them this way. Avoid bleaching colored clothes or delicates, as the bleach might damage them.  You can check to see if your clothes can be safely bleached by looking at their tags. If a hollow white triangle is on the tags, this means they can be safely bleached. If the triangle has diagonal stripes in the middle of it, those clothes can only be treated with non-chlorine bleach. If the tag on your clothes contains a solid triangle with an X on top of it, that means they cannot be bleached at all. Bluing agent adds the slightest hint of blue to your clothes, which actually combines with the yellow hue of your stains to make them white. Mix the agent with cold water, per the instructions on the bottle, then toss it into your laundry machine with the detergent and the stained clothes and wash them as normal.  You can buy bluing agent at any department store or grocery store that sells laundry detergent. Note that bluing agent isn’t actually a cleaning agent, so although it will offset the yellow hue of your stains, it won’t do anything to make them cleaner. Borax is a naturally occurring mineral that helps to remove stains from clothes and even deodorizes and brightens them. Add 0.5 cups (120 mL) of borax to your laundry along with detergent at the beginning of the wash...

Article in English: Since Aquarius is curious about everything, they love surprises. They love learning, they love experience, they love doing -- they love living to the fullest. A spicy, fulfilling relationship to them is one that keeps their brains running, wondering what's around the corner. So surprise them! Don't be afraid to go for the shock factor. It's almost impossible to shock an Aquarius, so make it a personal challenge to do so! Suggest doing some crazy things -- chocolate covered grasshoppers, anyone? Aquarians, in general, are open books. They have no qualms when it comes to talking about even the most taboo of topics. Engage them in politics, current events, morals and ethics -- whatever it is, they'll take it and run with it. The more things you're capable of talking about together, the better! Don't worry about offending their principles. They love hearing others' opinions, even if they don't agree with their own. So long as you have an opinion and a reason to stand behind it, they'll respect what you have to say. As far as the signs go, they're one of the best, most diplomatic arguers and conversationalists. You know how we talked about Aquarius' creativity? Do it together! While you should definitely have separate hobbies, do spend some of your free time combining powers. Whether it's pottery, designing a website, or planning a trip, your relationship will be that much sturdier when you have projects to work on. One of the benefits of dating an Aquarius? They can teach you. If you don't know thing one about photography, playing the piano, or whatever it is your Aquarius does well, have him show you the ropes. You'll stand on your own two feet eventually, but in the meantime, let him wrap his arms around you while you both click the buttons or pound the ivories. Aquarius is a sign that resonates strongest in the brain. His heart is not something he uses often -- or at least willingly. If you want to relate to him, use reason and logic. Don't use tears, guilt, or any other feeling to get your way. It won't work....

Article in English: Since Aries men crave excitement and variety, they tend to get involved with more new things than most other guys do. He may or may not invite you along for the trip, but either way, you should let him know that you're cheering for him the entire time.  This means being involved in other aspects of his life, whether they be new business ventures or new hobbies. If he welcomes you into the adventure, join him confidently. If he doesn't, show as much interest as possible without pressuring him into inviting you. Even though your Aries man needs to be right, he needs to be given the opportunity to prove how right he is in order to feel fully satisfied. You can and should challenge him on occasion, but keep in mind that you also need to let him win more than lose. Of course, if you feel strongly enough about something, you don't need to let him have his way or walk all over you. Being timid will not go over well, nor will letting him win when it's obvious that you have the upper-hand. The ego of an average Aries man needs tender loving care. If you have a habit of embarrassing or correcting him in public, you are probably causing a good deal of damage to his sense of self-importance and causing his feelings for you to wane as a result. Making fun of his junior high photos is a definite no-no, and laughing about a mistake he made with his buddies or families will almost always start a huge fight and lead to seriously hurt feelings. In spite of how assertive the Aries male can be, he's actually rather sensitive and easily hurt. It is true that most Aries guys are impatient and independent, but in order to make the relationship last for a long time, you need to encourage him to grow emotionally. The best way to do so is with obvious, tangible gestures of affection. Deep down, he fears rejection, and continual reassurance of your acceptance will go a long way. Don't be afraid of coming on too strong. A frequent “I love you” or “I can't wait to see you” text is perfectly acceptable, as long as he hasn't told you to...

Article in English: Since COVID-19 is a respiratory infection, a cough, with or without mucus, is a common symptom. However, a cough could also be a symptom of allergies or a different respiratory infection, so try not to worry. Call your doctor if you think your cough might be caused by COVID-19.  Consider if you’ve been around someone who was sick. If so, you’re more likely to have contracted what they had. However, do your best to stay away from sick people. If you’re coughing, keep your distance from people who have decreased immune systems or have high risks for complications, such as those over 65-years-old, newborns, children, pregnant women, and those who are on immunosuppressants. Since fever is a common symptom of COVID-19, always check your temperature if you're worried you contracted the virus. A fever over 100.4 °F (38.0 °C) could be a sign that you have COVID-19 or another infection. If you have a fever, call your doctor to discuss your symptoms. If you have a fever, you’re likely contagious, so avoid contact with other people. COVID-19 can cause trouble breathing, which is always a serious symptom. Contact your doctor immediately or get emergency medical care if you’re having difficulty breathing. You may have a serious infection, such as COVID-19. You may need additional treatments for breathing problems, so always consult your doctor for shortness of breath. While COVID-19 is a respiratory infection, it doesn’t usually cause a sore throat or runny nose. Its most common symptoms are cough, fever, and shortness of breath. Other symptoms of a respiratory infection likely indicate that you have another illness, like the common cold or the flu. Call your doctor to be sure. It’s understandable that you’d be nervous about COVID-19 if you're feeling sick. However, you probably don’t need to worry if you’re having symptoms other than fever, cough, and shortness of breath.

Article in English: Since Converse shoes are made with canvas, laundry detergent works well to remove dirt and most light stains. Mix 1/4 cup laundry detergent and 2 cups warm water in a bowl. If your shoes are covered in mud, you might need a second batch of solution for the second shoe. In place of laundry detergent, you can use any of these cleansers:  Dish soap Shampoo Body wash Window cleaner Section by section, use the cloth to scrub away the dirt and stains. Work the soap into the canvas so it saturates all the way through. Periodically rinse the cloth in the clean water, then dip it in the cleaning solution and keep going.  If necessary, remove the shoelaces and scrub them with the washcloth, too. You can also use this method to clean the inside of the shoes. You can stuff them with newspaper or another stiff substance to help them keep their shape. Set them in a warm spot with good air circulation so they dry as quickly as possible. Let the laces dry separately, since they may take a little longer to get completely dry. Afterward, you can relace the shoes and wear them right away.  To speed the drying along, try putting your shoes outside in the sun. Proceed with caution if your shoes are a dark color, though, since the sun can bleach them a few shades lighter. You can also use a hair dryer on a warm setting to help them finish drying.
