Article in English: To find your business's profit, you'll want to begin by adding up all of the money your business has made in a set period of time (for instance, the quarter, year, month, etc.). Add up the total sales of goods or services by the business for the period in question.  This can be from multiple sources, including products sold, services rendered, membership payments, or, in the case of government agencies, taxes, fees, the sales of resource rights, and so on.  Note that you will need to subtract any amount of cash refunded to customers for returns or disputes in order to find an accurate figure for your total income. It's easier to understand the process of calculating a business's profit by following along with an example. Let's say that we own a small publishing business. In the last month, we sold $20,000 worth of books to retailers in the area. However, we also sold the rights to one of our intellectual properties for $7,000 and received $3,000 from book retailers for official promotional materials. If these represent all of our revenue sources, we can say that our total income is $20,000 + $7,000 + $3,000 = $30,000. A business's expenses can be very diverse depending on the type of operations the business engages in. In general terms, a business's total expenses represent all of the money that the business spends in the accounting period being analyzed.  See the section below for a detailed breakdown of the types of expenses that a business can incur as it operates. In our example, let's say that our business spent $13,000 total during the month that it made $30,000. In this case, we'll use $13,000 as our value for total income. When you've found accurate values for your business's total income and expenses, calculating your profit is not difficult. Simply subtract your expenses from your income to find your profit. The value you get for your business's profit represents the amount of money it has earned in the period of time you are focusing on. This money is the business owners' to use as they please....

Article in English: To get a smooth cut on a sheet of plywood, you'll need to have the right blade. Look for a carbide-tipped blade with a high tooth count.  You can find blades labeled for plywood or "finished cuts," but make sure to check the tooth count.  Blades come in various sizes, so be sure you get one that will fit your circular saw.  If you stick with the blade that came with your saw, you'll likely end up with splintered ends, also known as tear-outs. Before cutting your plywood, adjust your saw blade to the right depth. If your blade is set too deep, you'll be dragging a lot of excess blade through the sheet. If you have your blade set too shallow, you run the risk of not cutting all the way through the sheet. You want your saw to be about .25 inches (0.6 cm) below the sheet. If you're cutting a sheet of plywood that is .75 inches (1.9 cm) thick, set your blade to 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep. When cutting a sheet of plywood, it's important that you support the sheet on both sides of the cut.  A few long 2x4s laid across two sawhorses will keep the sheet steady as you cut. Keep the 2x4s handy just for this task, as you'll be cutting into the tops of them with your circular saw.  If you don't have access to 2x4s or sawhorses, you can use a piece of rigid foam insulation instead. Lay the foam on the ground, and lay the sheet of plywood on top. Make sure the wood doesn't slide around on top of the foam board.  If you use the foam board method, you can crawl across the board as you cut, and you don't have to worry about the board snapping off at the end of the cut. When using a circular saw, place your plywood on the cutting surface with the good face down. The teeth of the blade enter the sheet from underneath, and exit at the top. When the teeth exit, they may cause some chipping. Placing the sheet with the good face down will ensure a smooth surface. Use a straight edge to mark your line. Measure carefully and make sure you have the cutting line square with the edge of your plywood.  For a smoother cut, score your line. Use a...

Article in English: To get the maximum amount of juice from your lemon, freeze it before juicing. After freezing solid, take it out and let it thaw for 4-8 hours, until the rind reaches room temperature. When you heat it afterwards, the frozen juice will expand in the membrane of the fruit and break down. This will make the juicing process more efficient and give you the most juice possible. It’s actually a lot harder to juice a lemon when it’s cold or at room temperature. Heating the lemon before cutting it is the best way to juice your fruit. Place the lemon onto a paper towel or plate. Set the lemon in the center of a microwave. Heat the lemon on medium power for 10-20 seconds.  This is faster than soaking the lemon in warm water, but it’s a little riskier. If there are any tiny holes in the lemon’s rind, you’ll end up evaporating some of the juice. If your lemon is at room temperature, heat it for 10 seconds. If it was in the refrigerator, microwave it for 20 seconds.

Article in English: To help you remember which wire is supposed to be attached where, it's a good idea to get four different colors of copper wire, and write down which color of wire you'll be using for each connection. You'll need one color for the positive terminal of the battery, one for the negative battery terminal, one for the positive terminal of the motor, and one for the negative terminal. Position the switch so that, looking down at it, you have two vertical rows of three terminals each (i.e. so that the switch could be moved up and down, not left to right). Then, using a soldering iron, attach a long piece of wire to the top-left terminal of the switch. This wire will eventually connect to the positive terminal of your battery. After firmly attaching the first wire, take a small piece of wire of the same color (e.g. white), and run it from the top-left terminal, where you've just attached your battery wire, to the bottom-right terminal of the switch. Attach with solder. Take a long piece of wire of another color (e.g. black), and solder it to the bottom-left terminal of the switch. This wire will eventually connect to the negative terminal of your battery. Then, take small piece of wire of the same color, and run it from the bottom-left terminal, where you've just attached your battery wire, to the top-right terminal of the switch. Attach with solder. Attach one piece of each of the two remaining colors of wire to the two center terminals with your soldering iron. These wires will run to the positive and negative terminals of the motor itself. For example, if your remaining wires are yellow and blue, attach a yellow wire to the center-left terminal and a blue wire to the center-right terminal. Take the wires attached to the center terminals of the switch and attach them to the motor, using your soldering iron.  The wire attached to the center-left terminal of the switch should be attached to the positive terminal of the motor, the wire attached to the center-right terminal of the switch to the negative.

Article in English: To keep your kids from getting into your alcohol, lock it up in a safe place so they cannot get to it. If you don't, smaller kids may drink it unknowingly, and teens may seek it out. Make sure to include all your alcohol, not just the hard stuff. Products that contain alcohol, such as mouthwash and cosmetics, can still give kids alcohol poisoning, as well as being potentially harmful otherwise. Make sure to keep these products where your kids can't get to them. Teens need to know how dangerous drinking can be, and they need to hear it from you. Let them know that binge drinking is especially dangerous and that it can even be fatal. Make sure they know dangers of alcohol poisoning, as well as the signs. Also, lay out what can lead to alcohol poisoning and how they can keep themselves from getting it. Tell them what to do in a situation if they find one of their friends passed out — call for an ambulance. #*Some teenagers may be afraid to call an ambulance or get their friend help because they are afraid of getting in trouble with their parents or for underage drinking. Make sure your kids understand that their friend's life may be at stake, and that the consequences of not getting help far outweigh the potential punishment for drinking. If your teens have friends over, make sure to be around enough to make sure they aren't drinking. Besides the obvious fact that it's dangerous to all involved, you can also be held responsible for anything that happens to the teens, if you know what's going on and don't stop it.

Article in English: To limit your contact with bacteria and germs you should try to only use toilet stalls in hospitals and buildings that are cleaned regularly. Hospitals usually have the cleanest toilet stalls as they use disinfectants often and heavily. Avoid bathrooms in airports and on airplanes. Airplane bathrooms are very small, making it difficult for people to wash their hands, leading to bacteria on surfaces you cannot help touching when using the tiny bathroom on the plane. Airports are high traffic areas and their bathrooms may not be cleaned enough due to the high volume of people using them throughout the day. People tend to use the middle and last stall for a bit of privacy, so go for the first stall to limit your exposure to bacteria and germs. It will likely be less used and cleaner than the other stalls in the bathroom. A study found that the highest concentration of germs in public bathrooms are on the bathroom floor. The second highest concentration of germs are on sanitary napkin disposals and the sinks and water taps in bathrooms. Avoid picking up any bacteria or germs from the bathroom by hanging up your bag or coat on the hook rather than placing it on the floor, or leaving it outside with a friend while you use the bathroom. If there is no hook on the back of the door of the stall, you can hang your bag around your neck or keep your coat on as you use the bathroom. These options may actually be more sanitary than putting your belongings on the floor.

Article in English: To maintain your minimalist lifestyle as a family, you should be aware of how many items you keep in your home. As a family, you should all agree to not buy new items unless they are essential and to think twice before accepting items from others. The idea is to keep your space uncluttered and free of extra stuff.  You may all also agree to do a decluttering of your house once a month to get rid of any items that you no longer use or that you have no need for. Making this part of your routine can help you all maintain a more minimalist lifestyle. You can encourage your family to do little things like keeping their rooms clean and free of clutter, as well as putting the dishes and other kitchen items away once they are done using them. You should all review your daily schedules and think about how you can further minimize your commitments and simplify your routines. Discuss how your attempts at minimizing your schedules have been working so far and think about ways you can minimize your schedules even further. You can also talk about what worked and what didn’t so you can improve your schedules. For example, you may talk with your partner about having more meals at home as this seems to be a good way minimizing your spending and have more quality time as a family. Or you may speak to your children about minimizing the time they spend on video games and using that time to do things together as a family instead. Practicing minimalism as a family can be a challenge, especially with the busyness of everyday life. You will all need to support and encourage each other to embrace the minimalist lifestyle to be successful. You can do little things like reminding each other why you are going minimal as a family. You can also support each other by getting rid of items you don’t need and by being willing to forgo new things. You may also have monthly family meetings where you talk about your minimalist lifestyle. Discuss what is working and what isn’t. Be honest and open with each other so you all feel supported.

Article in English: To make a Monkey Braid (or Chain Sinnet) you only need a single strand. Monkey braids can add bulk, or shorten a rope. They are often used as a way to store rope without it getting tangled up. You can use synthetic or natural rope, but ensure that the material is flexible so that you can work with it. Plastic cords tend to be quite stiff, which can prevent you from getting a tight single-strand braid.  You can use a Monkey Braid to make a nice looking chain, which returns to a straight rope when pulled. You often see these braids on dress uniforms. For this technique you need to start by making a loop in the rope by pushing the right-hand end of the rope towards the left-hand until a loop pops up. The point where this loop starts will be where the braid starts so ensure that the loops start near to the left-hand end of the rope. Once you have a loop you need to take the rope from the long end (the right-hand side) and push it through the loop. You are pushing the part of the rope that is closest to the loop on the right-hand side. Only use a small section of the rope.  You should be pulling a small U-shaped portion of rope through your initial loop to create a second loop. Pull it down, through the loop and out, tugging it toward the working side of the rope to tighten it slightly. Note that it is easier to tighten each loop as you work when using this braiding method. Trying to tighten the loops once you finish the entire braid can cause the braid to be loose and uneven overall. Once you have pulled the u-shaped part of rope through the loop pull it to the right hand side so that is in line with the braid and the loop that you just pulled it through. Pinch another section of rope from the working end (the right-hand side), again making sure that it is directly next to the loop you just created. Push it under, through, and out of the loop on the end of the braid, tugging gently to secure it. The rest of the braid is completed simply by making new loops from the working side of the rope and pulling those loops...

Article in English: To make a meal that will yield several servings, first gather one pound of ground beef, ⅔ of a cup of bread crumbs, ¼ of a cup of ketchup, one teaspoon each of salt and pepper, one tablespoon of dried onion, one beaten egg, two strips of thin bacon, and barbecue sauce. Combine everything but the bacon and sauce in a mixing bowl and fashion into a loaf about as long as a dollar bill.  After pre-heating, cooking the loaf for 20 minutes at 350ºF (177ºC). Remove the basket with the meatloaf still in it. Cut the bacon into shorter strips and position them on top of the meatloaf.  Brush barbecue sauce onto each and place everything back in the air fryer for 15 more minutes. Ensure the meatloaf is finished before turning off the air fryer. If not, cook for five more minutes at a time until the meatloaf is fully cooked. For four servings, gather 16 pieces of peeled and deveined tiger shrimp and 16 slices of thinly sliced bacon.  With the bacon at air temp, wrap each slice around its own piece of shrimp. Start at the head of the shrimp and wrap towards the tail.  Refrigerate your beautiful meat sculptures for 20 minutes. Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (199°C) and cook your bacon-wrapped shrimp for 5-7 minutes. Allow your creations to cool and drain excess fluid on a paper towel before serving. For six servings, gather a pound of sharp cheddar, a pound of thinly sliced bacon, 4 tablespoons olive oil, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 beaten eggs, and 1 cup breadcrumbs.  Cut the cheese into six portions and wrap each in two slices of bacon. The bacon should fully enclose the cheese.  Place your creations in the freezer for five minutes to firm them up, but take care not to forget about them. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (199°C).  Meanwhile, mix the breadcrumbs with the oil until even blended.  Dip each cheesy bacon block into flour, then eggs, then the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to ensure adhesion. Double dip, if you so desire, into the eggs and then the breadcrumbs.  This will help prevent the cheese from escaping. Cook...

Article in English: To make a three-dimensional model, you will need to purchase sculpting clay or make your own homemade play dough. Whichever version you choose, you will need 7 colors: 2 shades of yellow, and 1 shade each of orange, red, brown, green, and blue. Parental supervision is recommended if making the dough yourself. Start by making 2 small balls about the size of a golf ball. Make 2 medium sized balls and then 3 larger balls. Add a few drops of food coloring to each ball according to the list below. Knead the dough until the color is fully incorporated. Two golf ball sizes: 1 green, 1 red. Medium sizes: 1 orange, 1 brown. Large sizes: 2 shades of yellow, 1 blue. The next layer to add is the mantle which will be represented by 2 shades of yellow dough. The mantle is the largest layer of the Earth so you want to make sure that you have 2 thick layers of different shades of yellow around the dough ball you have made so far.Roll out the dough and then wrap it around the ball, joining all of the sides together into 1 layer. Repeat for the second layer of yellow. The brown dough will be used to represent the crust. This is by far the thinnest layer of the Earth. Roll out the brown dough until is quite thin and then wrap it around the dough ball as you did with the previous layers.

Article in English: To make it easier to dip the produce into the paint, transfer it into disposable shallow containers, such as a plate or dish. Fill a plate with each shade of paint that you plan to use. Tempera paint works best for vegetable and fruit painting. When you’re pressing the fruit and vegetable pieces to the paper that you’re working on, it has a tendency to shift around. Keep it steady by securing it to your table, counter, or other work surface with double-sided tape. You can use any type of paper that you like for your canvas, such as sketch paper, poster board, or cardstock. When you’re ready to start painting, gather all of the fruit and vegetable that you’ve cut on a plate. Use a piece of paper towel to gently blot the cut sides to remove any moisture that might dilute the paint.

Article in English: To make this determination, consider the weather in your area. If you live in a mostly temperate climate, your goats may not need as substantial a shelter as other places. At bare minimum, you should provide a 3-sided structure that offers shelter from the sun and wind. However, if you're in an area that has severe winters, you'll need a full-on barn to protect your animals, though it can be a small one. You just need to provide protection from the elements. The size of your shelter is determined by the size of your herd. In general, you need to provide 15 to 20 square feet for each goat you have.  So if you only have one goat, your shelter should be 15 to 20 square feet (1.4-1.9 sq. m). In practice, that's a 3-by-5-foot (0.9-by-1.5 m) shelter or a 4-by-5-foot (1.2-by-1.5 m) shelter. If you have 5 goats, you'll need 75 square feet (7 sq. m) to 100 square feet (9.3 sq. m), which translates to approximately an 8-by-9-foot (2.4-by-2.7 m) shelter or a 10-by-10-foot (3-by-3 m) shelter. In fact, you can use a large dog house for a pygmy goat if you are keeping it in your backyard. If you have multiple animals, create multiple stalls so each goat has his or her own space. The ideal floor for goats is gravel with clay on top of it. It's easy to clean out, and you can apply another layer every couple of years.  Hay is sufficient for bedding, and goats generally won't eat what's on the floor.  Also, you'll need troughs of some sort to feed the goats in. The best fencing for pygmy goats is wire fence. To keep your pygmy goats from jumping over, the fence needs to be at least 4 feet (1.2 m) high. Goats love to climb, so you'll need to include some places for them to do so. For instance, any kind of picnic table is ideal for this pastime. You can even just create hills out of dirt, as goats will find that just as enjoyable. They also like to jump on and off these places. Old tires also make good toys for your pets. Goats are meant to be in a herd, so you should keep more than one. They prefer to live in a social group.

Article in English: To perform this, sit on the floor with one leg extended in front of you, and the other one drawn up with the knee bend and your foot flat on the floor. Reach forward with both your arms to touch the toes (or reach past the toes) on your extended foot. Keep your leg straight with no bend in the knee, and hold it for 5-10 seconds. Repeat this several times on both legs. This is performed similar to a push-up and builds abdominal strength and endurance. Lay on your stomach, and then lift yourself up using your toes and your forearms, keeping your entire body straight as a board. Hold this for at least 15 seconds to start, and gradually add on time. You can do this a multitude of ways, but the easiest is to stand and lift one foot off the ground at a time, rolling your ankle in small circles in each direction. Pull your shoulders back and down.  Make you neck long, and keep your chin parallel to the floor.  You must only squeeze the inner-upper parts of your arms so they stay directly by your side, with your hands in the shape of fists. Your legs should be straight with locked knees. You should always be on your toes, and even if a leg in the air, all toes on both feet should be points. Also, your feet must be pointed outwards. It is a hard concept to grasp, but after a while of dancing it will be second nature to dance with your feet turned outwards. Try walking around home, school, work, etc, with your feet turned out for a half hour everyday. It will train your feet, telling them that they need to stick out. Another way to teach your feet to turn out is to go ice skating. When you skate, your feet have to be turned out to accelerate. Pay close attention to your feet next time you go ice skating

Article in English: To prevent odors in the future, make a point to look in your fridge once a week or so and remove expired food. This preventative measure will keep foul smells from building up in the first place. It’s much easier to prevent bad odors in your fridge than it is to eliminate them. Try looking right before you take out the trash. That way, you’ll be able to get the spoiled, smelly food out of your home as soon as you’ve noticed it. Fresh items like fruits and vegetables can easily go bad without your noticing if they’re tucked away in a seldom-opened veggie drawer or the back of a bottom shelf. Prevent this by storing them in a location where you’ll be able to see them daily. Then, if you notice any fresh foods starting to look a little past their prime, dispose of them immediately. For example, keep meat at the front of the top shelf, and keep fruits and veggies on a lower shelf where they’re easily visible. When kept in this temperature range, food will keep without going bad. Since it’s only when food spoils that it begins to smell, you’ll keep your fridge smelling fresh and clean as long as the temperature remains in this range. If the temperature in your fridge rises above 40 °F (4 °C), bacteria will begin to grow and the food will begin to smell. Were you to set the fridge temperature to 32 °F (0 °C) or lower, of course, the food would freeze. If you leave food uncovered in your fridge or leave it in, for example, a cardboard takeout box, it’ll go bad quickly. The sooner food goes bad, the sooner it’ll begin to stink up your fridge. By keeping leftovers in a sealed airtight container, you’ll help them last longer and prevent foul smells. As an extra measure to keep food from spoiling in your fridge, label and date leftovers when you store them. Tear off a piece of masking tape and stick it on top of the airtight container and write, for example, “February 14; chicken parmesan.”

Article in English: To really learn to wait patiently and avoid becoming anxious when you are waiting for something, it's helpful to think about the different waiting times we experience. It is generally thought that an uncertain wait prompts more anxiety than one you have a clearer timetable for.  Uncertain waits can feel longer than if you know how long you will have to wait for. For example, if you are told you will be seen in 30 minutes, it can be easier than if you are just told you will be seen soon.  If you're facing an uncertain wait, try to find out a clearer timetable so you have a better idea of how long you'll have to wait. If you can't get any extra information, try to relax or occupy yourself and accept that there is nothing to do but wait. Sometimes you will expect to be able to see your doctor at a set time and you arrive only to find out that there has been a problem and you will now have a lengthy wait. This situation can prompt heightened impatient because it was unexpected and it contradicts what you understood would happen.  If you find yourself in a similar situation, recognise it and try to relax and shrug it off. Consider finding out the reason for the wait, perhaps somebody is unexpectedly off sick, or has been held up in traffic. This may help you to understand that there is nothing you can do to change it and then wait more patiently. Everyone gets impatient, but it's important to understand that getting frustrated and restless will only increase your impatience. Try to relax as much as possible and take things in your stride. If you are queuing at the supermarket and you are anxious because your line is moving slowly as all the others go quickly, your wait will likely seem longer than it actually is.  Treating these situations more lightly, and trying to maintain a good sense of humour about all the waiting around you have to do, can help you wait more patiently and happily.

Article in English: To replace a light socket in the ceiling, you'll need some basic electrician's tools to complete the job safely. It's good to have:  A razor, to cut around fixture if there’s paint Lineman’s pliers Screwdriver Non-contact voltage tester  Wire strippers Extra wire nuts Any time you're working with electricity, you need to locate the breaker that corresponds to that particular fixture and shut it off. You can test the power by flipping the light switch and making sure that it doesn't turn on. It's also a good idea to use a non-contact voltage tester to make sure the fixture isn't getting power. Decorative fixtures like globes will need to be removed first, gently unscrewing or unfastening the connections and putting the piece aside. You might need to use a screwdriver, but most fixtures will probably just use thumbscrews that you can remove by hand. Remove the lightbulb or bulbs, as well to expose the socket itself for examination. You need to figure out how the fixture is attached to the ceiling, before you go unscrewing it. Most fixtures are attached in one of two ways. The first method involves simple screws that go through the fixture into the junction box in the ceiling. The second involves a threaded post that extends through the fixture from behind and attaches with a decorative cap nut, usually a small knob in the center of the fixture. There are typically two or three screws holding the fixture itself to the bracket. Lower the fixture down, exposing the wire connections. Once the fixture is down, use your hands or pliers to undo the wire nuts. Wire nuts  are the plastic cone-looking pieces covering the ends of where the wires come together, connecting the black and white wires coming from the fixture to the wires coming from the ceiling. There might also be a ground wire from the fixture attached to the metal of the junction box in the ceiling by a screw. The junction box is a round, square or octagonal box, usually made of plastic, in the ceiling under where the fixture used to be. Normally there will...

Article in English: To start, hold your needles. One needle should contain all the stitches. The other needle should be bare. Hold the bare needle in your right hand. Hold the stitched needle in your left hand. You'll start by working with the stitch nearest the tip of stitched needle. The stitches form tiny circular loops around the needle. You will want to pass the bare needle through the bottom of this loop.  To knit, you will want to enter the stitch from the front. This means, you should enter the stitch on the side of the needle facing you. You also want to put the tip of bare the needle between the front stitch and the stitch just behind the front stitch. Do not place the bare needle's tip between the front stitch and the tip of the stitched needle. Once you have the positioning correct, push the tip of the needle through this stitch. Move about a half an inch's worth of the bare needle through the stitch and then stop.

Article in English: To start, spend a week tracking your computer time. Many people convince themselves they need to be online as much as they are due to work, school, and social obligations. However, this may not be true. If you keep a log of what you do online and how long you do it, you'll be surprised how much of your screen time is unnecessary.  For a week, carry around a small notebook. Each time you use your computer, write down what you're doing, how long you're doing it for, and whether or not this is a necessary task. You may spend 20 minutes replying to e-mails for work, a task which is vital to your professional career. Before and after this, however, you may spend 30 minutes total browsing Facebook.  Be honest. You do not have to show your journal to anyone else. The goal here is for you to assess where your time is going and how to alter that time. For example, you may be shocked to realize you spend 2 hours a day total on social media sites. If you feel that's too much, from here you can set a goal to cut that back to an hour. See if you can reach that goal the following day. Staring at a screen for too long is unhealthy and can easily lead to eyestrain and headaches. Therefore, schedule breaks from computer usage. This can help you consciously make an effort to spend time away from your computer.  If you have downtime at work, do not immediately get on Twitter or Facebook. Instead, spend some time away from your computer. Go for a short walk. Read a book for 10 minutes. Call a friend to chat.  When you're home alone, try to consciously schedule breaks when you're working on the computer. For example, after 2 hours of computer usage promise yourself you'll take a 20 minute walk with the dog. This will pull you away from the screen and give you a break. You can even set a timer to help yourself stay on track.  When you are on your computer, set timers to remind yourself to take breaks. For example, you may set an alarm or alert to go off every 30 or 45 minutes, reminding you to get up and walk away from your screen...

Article in English: To start, you'll need to collect a variety of old newspapers. If you do not subscribe to a newspaper, this can get tricky. However, there are ways you can find newspapers for craft purposes.  Old newspaper is commonly recycled. If you know a neighbor who's big into recycling, try asking him or her if they have any old newspaper to spare. You may also be able to find old newspaper at the recycling bin of a local dump, but make you ask worker if taking the paper is okay. Check at your local grocery store as well. If they have day old newspapers they intend to throw out, they may be willing to give these papers to you. Making a dress out of newspaper can be a fun project for an afternoon. It can also be great for a costume party. To make a newspaper dress, you'll need the following supplies:  You will need a pen or a pencil. Make sure to get a non-toxic brand of adhesive tape.

Article in English: To steam the dumplings, just line a steamer basket with parchment and steam the dumplings for 6-7 minutes if they're fresh. If they're frozen, steam them for 7-8 minutes. To pan-sear dumplings, you'll be essentially making pot stickers. To do this, just film a skillet with a tablespoon of oil and warm it over high heat. Once the oil is simmering, after a minute or so, place the dumplings on the pan so they fill the pan without touching. Cook the bottoms of the dumplings until they've turned golden and brown. Place 3 tablespoon (44.4 ml). of water in the pan, cover it, and reduce it to low.  Cook the dumplings for 3-5 minutes if they're fresh. Cook the dumplings for 6-8 minutes if they're frozen. To boil the dumplings, bring a pot of water to a boil and place the dumplings in the pot. Stir them so that they don't stick together. Then, add 1 1/2 cups of cold water and wait for the water to return to a boil. Repeat this process one more time. After the third time, check one dumpling to see if it's cooked through, and boil the dumplings for another few minutes if they aren't ready.

Article in English: To thread your eyebrows, you will need high-cotton sewing thread. Measure out a piece of thread that is as long as your forearm, plus three inches. It should be around 14 inches or 35 cm long.  Using high-cotton sewing thread will ensure your eyebrow hairs do not snap off between the thread. High-cotton thread tends to grip hair better than synthetic thread. Thread is the best thing to use for threading. Do not use floss or string as this will not be as effective as thread. You will use the eyebrow scissors to trim your eyebrows before you thread them. You can also use small hair shears or small sewing scissors. You want scissors that will be small enough to trim your brows and sharp enough to get at the hairs. You will use the brush on your brows to prepare them for the threading. You can use a standard eyebrow brush or a fine toothed hair comb. Make sure the brush or comb is clean as you do not want to get bacteria or dirt in your brows before you thread them. You will use the pencil to draw the shape you want for your eyebrows. This will help to guide you as you thread your eyebrows. Go for an eyebrow pencil that is the same shade as your brows or slightly darker than your brows. You should also check that the eyebrow pencil will wash off with water or makeup remover so you can get rid of the outline once you are done threading your eyebrows. You will use the aloe vera or the ice pack to soothe your brows after you are done threading them. The aloe vera or ice pack will also help with any redness or irritation that develops due to the threading. You can use aloe vera from a bottle or a standard ice pack, wrapped in a clean towel.

Article in English: To-do lists are great because they help keep you organized and allow you to prioritize. In your mind, make a list of everything you need to do that day and figure out in what order you want to complete the tasks. When creating a to-do list, prioritize quality over quantity. Don’t just add something to your list because it’s easy to cross off. Being able to hold your breath for long periods of time is beneficial for certain sports, like swimming or surfing. It’s also a great way to keep yourself occupied when you have nothing else to do. Try looking at the clock and timing yourself to see how long you can currently hold your breath. Keep practicing and see if you are able to increase that amount over time. Be mindful that holding your breath for too long can lead to health risks, including fatal blackouts. Whatever your fantasy is, live it out in your brain for a few minutes. Imagination is important because it helps you reignite your passions and stimulates your creativity. Let your mind drift off wherever it wants to go. Chances are, you’ll go somewhere fun and the time will pass quickly. If you’re fantasizing while in class, make an effort to at least look like you’re paying attention. Think about a fun trip you took recently or a cool party you went to. Remember all the things that made the experience positive and try to recreate them in your brain. Play a mental slideshow of all the memories you have from those experiences. The walk down memory lane will keep your mind occupied and will help you remember a happier time. Time flies when sleeping. Napping for just 20 minutes can help refresh the mind, improve overall alertness, boost mood and increase productivity.

Article in English: Today’s job market is a tough one. You have to present yourself to potential new employers in a way that shows that you know what they want and you are the perfect person for the job. The first thing an employer will see about you is your resume title, so it's important to make it good. Including your name in the title will make administration easier for the employer and it will ensure your resume stays visible during each stage of the hiring process. Including a summary statement tells the employer you have the skills they want. A good file name for your resume is a great marketing tool which you can use to create your mark on the hiring manager’s computer. By naming your resume something like "Joe-Smith-Sales-Manager-Resume", you are drawing your recruiter's attention to your name and skills every time they scroll through their database.  When you do this, you are standing out, effectively waving to them, and not giving them a single opportunity to miss your resume. It also tells them that you are serious and clear about your career goal. Additionally, if you are applying for a sales or marketing job, your resume marketing expertise might just earn you that extra edge over the competition. The employer may feel that if you can’t market yourself well, you'll be unable to sell their products or services effectively. By promoting yourself well, you are demonstrating good marketing skills.

Article in English: Toes are very susceptible to injury and even breaking when exposed to blunt trauma, such as stubbing them against furniture or kicking sports equipment around. In most cases, it's obvious which toe is injured, but sometimes you need to examine your toes closely to better understand the injury. Signs of mild-to-moderate injuries include redness, swelling, inflammation, localized pain, bruising, reduced motion, and maybe some degree of crookedness if the toe is dislocated or broken. The smallest toe (5th) and the great toe (1st) are injured and broken more often than the other toes.  Buddy taping can be used on most toe injuries, even stress or hairline fractures, although more serious fractures typically need casting or surgery.  Small hairline fractures, bone chips, contusions (bruises), and joint sprains are not considered serious problems, but severely crushed toes (mangled and bleeding) or displaced compound fractures (bleeding with bone sticking out of the skin) require immediate medical intervention, especially if the big toe is involved. Once you've established which toe is injured, you need to decide which toe to tape it to. In general, try to tape toes together that are close in length and thickness — if your second toe is injured, it's easier to tape it to your third toe than your big (first) toe due to the similarity in size. Furthermore, your big toe is needed for "toeing off" every time you take a step, so it's not a good choice for buddy taping. In addition, make sure the "buddy" toe is uninjured, because taping two injured toes together may make things worse. In such situations, casting or wearing a compression boot may be a better idea.  If your fourth toe is injured, tape it to the third toe instead of the fifth because they are more equal in size and length. Don't buddy tape an injured toe if you have diabetes or peripheral arterial disease because any reduction in blood circulation from taping it too tight significantly increases the risk of necrosis (tissue death). Once you've decided on...

Article in English: Tomatoes are high in lycopene, which is a natural DHT blocker. Lycopene is absorbed more efficiently from cooked tomatoes than from raw tomatoes. While a slice of tomato on your sandwich will help, a hearty tomato sauce over pasta is better. Carrots, mangoes, and watermelon are also good sources of lycopene. Other substances in food that naturally inhibit DHT, including L-lysine and zinc, can be found in almonds, peanuts, pecans, walnuts, and cashews.  Including nuts in your diet on a daily basis can help naturally reduce your DHT levels. Zinc is also found in leafy green vegetables, such as kale and spinach. Green tea is rich in antioxidants, and also helps slow or even stop the conversion of testosterone into DHT. Other hot beverages, including black tea and coffee, have a similar effect. For best results, drink organic, whole leaf teas. Avoid processed green tea "drinks," which may have less than 10 percent tea. You also want to avoid adding sugars or artificial sweeteners to your tea. Sugar causes inflammation and increases your body's production of DHT. Too much sugar in your diet will cancel out any benefit you get from other foods. Staying away from added sugars and sweets, such as cookies and candy, may seem pretty easy. But watch out for packaged and processed foods, which may contain sugar even though they don't taste particularly sweet. Your morning cup of coffee can help lower DHT production. However, consuming too much caffeine can have the opposite effect. Too much caffeine may also lead to hormone imbalances and dehydration, which inhibit hair growth. Stay away from caffeinated sodas, which also have sugar and other chemicals that can actually increase DHT production.

Article in English: Tomatoes contain acids that may help reduce pimples, close your pores, and fight bacteria. Cut a ripe tomato in half, then gently rub the cut portion of one half over the affected area on one side of your face for about a minute. Repeat with the other half on the other side of your face.   Banana peels, which some people use for mosquito bites, may be helpful in reducing the size of some pimples. Gently rub the banana peel over the affected area. Also try mixing the banana peel with a dash of salt, a teaspoon of vinegar and a tablespoon of maple syrup in the blender. Apply it on your face and leave it for 7 minutes. Rinse with cool water. Green tea is an astringent that's packed with lots of antioxidants. Steep a tea bag in some hot water, then remove the tea bag along with all the liquid. Let the bag cool completely, then place it onto the affected area for 5 minutes.  Witch hazel is another great astringent with a ton of applications. Look for witch hazel without alcohol at drug or health stores. Apply a small bit over the affected area with a cotton ball, then let it dry.  Tea tree oil is an antibacterial essential oil. With a dropper, dab a cotton swab with just a drop or two of tea tree oil and apply to the acne. Stop using it if you feel any irritation. Crush up an aspirin tablet and add just enough water to make it into a paste. With a cotton swab, add a light coating of the aspirin paste to the acne. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes. Don't use an aspirin paste if you have an aspirin allergy, have Reye's syndrome, drink heavy amounts of alcohol, are pregnant or breast-feeding, or take medications that don't mix with aspirin.

Article in English: Tomatoes contain several beneficial minerals and vitamins, including potassium, lycopene, and vitamins C, A, and B6. As any antioxidant, lycopene is especially beneficial and consistent ingestion can help ward off various cancers and heart disease.  If the taste of tomato juice does not appeal to you on its own, you can mix it with other fruit and vegetable juices, like cucumber, carrot, celery or apple juice. You can also create a spiced tomato drink by mixing it with brown sugar and spices like cinnamon and allspice. Hunger is often intensified by thirst. Tomatoes have a high water content, so a glass of tomato juice can help curb your appetite. Drinking tomato juice ten minutes before you eat can greatly reduce your hunger. Additionally, tomatoes contain fewer calories than the body uses to digest them, so drinking a glass of tomato juice can actually help you burn calories and lose weight. Instead of using water or broth to stew or braise a tough cut of meat, substitute the liquid for tomato juice. Tomato juice has more acid in it than water and broth, so it helps to break down the toughness of the meat or poultry while adding flavor. Due to its acidity, tomato juice also makes a good marinade for fish and poultry. The juice has less acidity than lemon juice, though, which makes it a good alternative for someone looking for a marinade with less acid in it. Many kinds of soup, from plain tomato soup to gazpacho, use tomato juice as a base. Even if a hearty soup recipe does not call for tomato juice, however, you can still substitute part of the broth or water with tomato juice to give your soup another dimension of flavor. Rice and pasta are typically boiled in water, but you can add a hint of tomato taste by boiling these starches in tomato juice. You can either replace the water with tomato juice completely or blend a little tomato juice into the water you usually use for a milder taste. Both pasta and rice absorb flavor as they cook, so boiling them in even a small amount of tomato juice infuses them...

Article in English: Tongue needs a long, slow cooking process to become tender. Refer to the simmered recipe above for instructions on cleaning, then simmer in hot, salted water for at least 1 hour per pound of meat (0.45 kg).  For extra flavor, add onions, carrots, garlic, bay leaves, and/or your favorite chiles. Check on it every hour or so. You may need to add water to keep the tongue submerged. . You'll have plenty of time to make your own salsa while the beef is cooking. Just combine tomatillos with serrano peppers, diced onion, garlic, cilantro, lime, salt. Blend until combined but slightly thick. (For amounts and extra details, see linked recipe.) Once a knife can pierce through the thickest part of the tongue, remove it from the water with kitchen tongs. Once cool enough to handle — but still quite warm — cut through the white outer layer and peel off with your fingers. Slice into rough ½ inch (1.25 cm) slices for your tacos. Tongue is a fatty meat, and tastes delicious when it develops a crisp outer layer. Add a generous amount of oil or lard to a pan, about 3 tbsp (45 mL) for six slices, and heat until it shimmers. Add the tongue and fry until brown and crisp on all sides, flipping occasionally.  If you're using a grill instead, brush the slices generously with olive oil and heat on a 425ºF (220ºC) grill for about 10–15 minutes, flipping once. For a healthier options, just brown lightly in a small amount of oil, then simmer in the salsa verde for a few minutes. Set up platters of beef tongue, corn tortillas, and salsa verde for your guests to make their own tacos. You can also add all your favorite taco toppings, such as lime and cilantro.

Article in English: Too many additions might make the water overly fragrant or look too crowded. Limit the amount of things you put in your bath to three or four components. These items can be roses, essential oils, bath salts, and bubble bath. Make a list of what you want to put in the bath, and make sure you have everything before preparing the bath. You can buy all of the ingredients at most supermarkets. For nicer essential oils and bubble baths, look for a store like Bath and Body Works. Don’t run a bath too long before your partner gets home, or it will run cold. You should run the bath about ten minutes before you are expecting to get into the bath. It’s better to make the water a little hotter than comfortable because it will cool down before you step into it. Let the bathtub fill up to a comfortable level that will be full enough, but not overfilled. Adding bubble bath to the water while the tub is filling up adds a mood of both frivolity and romance. Look for more scents such as vanilla, rather than using the same fruity-scented bubbles you would put in a child's bath. Don’t overdo the bubbles to the point that they flow out of the bath, but add in enough that the bathtub is filled with them. The bubbles will fade quicker than expected. Bath salts help soften skin and usually add pleasant scents and colors to your bath. These are available at most bed and bath shops, as well as some specialty or beauty supply stores. Epsom salts and sea salts are examples of salts that you can add to your bath. Epsom and sea salt also help to detoxify skin. Adding a couple drops of essential oils, such as lavender, jasmine, or cedar wood, to the bathwater introduces aromatherapy into your romantic soak. The oils smell great, but they can also affect your mood. They can make you feel relaxed or invigorated. Make sure not to add in too many drops, especially if your bubble bath is scented.  Lavender oil is great for relaxation. Lemon oil is good for invigoration. Rose petals sprinkled on top of the water add a romantic and fragrant...

Article in English: Too much information about yourself, or too much intimate information, could chase away the other person. Save deeper conversations for after you get to know each other.

Open-ended questions (one that can't be answered by just "yes" or "no") are ideal because you'll get to know the other person more quickly.

This will show her that you care about her and that you have mutual hobbies.

Don’t toss those clothes into a dumpster. Donate them to charity or give them to friends or relatives. If they are in decent condition, consider trying to sell them. After you’ve gotten rid of the junk, evaluate your wardrobe clearly and identify what’s missing. Your needs will depend on your individual lifestyle, but in general, you want to make sure you have:  blouses and casual shirts button-down shirts pull-over sweaters pants – at least one pair of jeans and at least one pair of trousers casual dresses casual skirts a jacket for cool weather (and one for even colder weather, if you live where it gets cold) at least one or two semi-formal or formal dresses shoes – at least one pair for workouts and one or two each for casual, business, and dressy outfits Once you know what you need, it’s time to shop! But don’t just rush to the mall. You'll save time if you research some popular online stores first. If you don’t see what you like, move on – save time by shopping at stores that fit your lifestyle. It’s tempting to simply order clothes online, but you’ll have better luck if you head out to the stores that seem promising and try clothes on. Sizes vary considerably from retailer to retailer, and it’s hard to know what will flatter you without seeing a garment on your body. If your budget is smaller, start browsing at lower-priced retailers. There’s no reason to spend too much – as long as a garment is well made and fits properly, you will look fantastic. That said, you don’t necessarily want the cheapest clothing available. If it wears out after two weeks or falls apart in the washing machine, it’s no bargain.  Do some additional research online and try to hit stores when they are having sales. This can allow you to pick up higher-end items for bargain-basement prices. Invest in a few key pieces that you will get a lot of mileage from...

Article in English: Toss your jeans into the washing machine and add in your regular laundry detergent. Then, measure out 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of white vinegar and pour it into the washing machine. The vinegar should help to pull out any oil that remains in the jeans. While some stains are better removed with cold water, you’re much more likely to get rid of your oil stains if the water is hot. Set the water temperature to hot on your washing machine and press “Start.” Tumble drying your jeans in the dryer will set in any remaining stains. This will make it much more difficult to get the oil out. After the washing cycle is done, remove your jeans from the washing machine and hang them out on a clothesline or drying rack. After your jeans are done drying, take a close look at the area that was stained. If you notice that the area is still stained, repeat the process. Don’t dry your jeans in the dryer again until you don’t see any remaining stains after letting the jeans air dry.

Article in English: Training and experience are the foundations of any sport, and for a professional cyclist, this means making lots of miles on the road. On average, you should train at least 2 hours a day for 6 days a week if you want to become a professional cyclist. If the weather is too cold to cycle outside, train on a stationary bike in a gym or at home. Training for pro cycling usually takes up about 4 to 6 hours a day, though sometimes that might include time spent at the gym doing weights and building strength. Do a 60-minute strength-training workout a couple of times a week to build your muscles, specifically your leg and core muscles. You will generally need to be in great shape, with lots of lean muscle. Good example exercises include squats, leg curls, and lunges. You'll need to eat right to maintain your body through the grueling challenges of the sport. Get all of the nutrients your body needs, both at home and during a race, to help your body keep up. Your diet should be rich in fruits and vegetables, as well as carbs and lean protein.

Summary in Russian:

Катайтесь каждый день. Занимайтесь силовым тренингом. Тренируйте выносливость.


Article in English: Transporting food from across the country and around the world requires a considerable amount of fuel. This excessive fuel use contributes to air pollution. Instead of purchasing food that has traveled thousands of miles to get to your table, choose food that comes from nearby farms and that has been grown using sustainable methods.  Before you buy, ask the farmer or grower about their techniques to learn about their efforts to stop pollution.  Visit a local farm stand or farmers’ market to get fruits and vegetables straight from the people who grew them. Shop at your neighborhood food cooperative to find locally grown and produced foods. Check your neighborhood grocery store for locally grown produce and other local items. Organic fruits and vegetables are grown by farmers who use sustainable farming practices. For example, they avoid using chemical pesticides, which contribute to pollution of ground water. By choosing organic fruits and vegetables you will be contributing to farming practices that are better for the environment. Look for fruits, vegetables, and other products that are labeled as “organic” or “certified organic.” Starting a garden in your own backyard is another great way to help stop pollution. Plants and trees convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and act as a carbon sink, which means less pollution. In addition, the fruits and vegetables that you grow in your backyard will take the place of store bought items that may have had to travel many miles to end up on your plate. If you are new to gardening, start small. Plant a small container garden on your patio or plant a few tomato, lettuce, and cucumber plants in your backyard. You can increase the size of your garden over the years as you become more comfortable with gardening.

Article in English: Trick-or-treating is practically synonymous with Halloween. If you have small children, or you’re still young enough to get in on the action yourself, venture out in your most impressive costume and go door-to-door in your neighborhood collecting candy. Be sure to bring along a bucket or bag big enough to lug your haul home!  Wear reflective clothing or carry a flashlight to make yourself visible to drivers once it gets dark, and remember to walk, not run.  Not everyone enjoys receiving trick-or-treaters on Halloween. If you come to a house that has its lights off, it’s usually a sign that the person who lives there doesn’t wish to participate. Gather a group of adventurous friends and see if you can survive a tour of your most harrowing local haunted house attraction. This can be an exhilarating way to celebrate the holiday’s darker themes, especially if you’re an adrenaline junkie. Just beware: you’re in for a scare!  Run a quick search for “haunted house” plus the name of your city to find a list of haunted house attractions in your area. Haunted houses aren’t for the faint of heart—literally. You may be better off sitting this one out if you suffer from heart problems, seizures, or another medical condition that might be triggered by lights and loud noises. Some theaters run special events during the Halloween season, such as costume nights and limited big-screen showings of classic horror flicks. In some cases, they may even offer free or discounted tickets. Check the showtimes online or in your local newspaper to find out if any theaters near you are getting in on the action.  A group outing to the theater can be fun way to enjoy Halloween if you're not really the partying type, or you just feel like hitting the town. While deciding what movie you want to see, remember that you must be at least 17 years old to get into R-rated features without being accompanied by an adult. Almost all towns and cities offer guided ghost tours to interested residents and tourists alike. One of these tours can give you a...

Article in English: Trigonometric concepts are often hard for some people to grasp the first time around. If you read the chapter before going over it in a classroom, you will be more familiar with the material. The more times you see the material, the more connections you will make as to how different concepts in trigonometry are related. This will also allow you to identify any concepts that you struggle with before class. Skimming through the book is better than nothing, but it isn’t the kind of in depth reading that will help you learn trigonometry. Keep detailed notes on the chapter you are reading. Remember that trigonometry is cumulative and the concepts build on each other, so having your notes from previous chapters can help you understand your current chapter. Also write down any questions that you want to ask the instructor. Some people visualize trigonometry well, but you also have to carry out the problems. To make sure that you really do understand the material, try working some problems before class. This way, if you have trouble, you’ll know exactly what you need help with in class. Most books have the answers to some problems in the back. This allows you to check your work. Bringing your notes and practice problems to class will give you a point of reference. This will refresh the things you understand, and remind you of any concepts you may need explained further. Be sure to clarify any questions that you listed during your reading.

Summary in Russian:

Прочтите соответствующий раздел. Ведите конспект. Решайте приведенные в учебнике задачи. Берите на занятия все необходимое.


Article in English: True holiness will only come once you give your fully life to God. In doing so, you will recognize how you have starved for holiness in the past and how you hunger and thirst for it in the present.  To belong to God, you must be “born again.” In other words, you need to accept Christ and let the Holy Spirit work in your life. Before you can truly "thirst" for holiness, you need to reach an understanding about why it is important for you to do as God wants. God does not demand things from you simply to test you. Instead, God wants what is best for your eternal well-being and issues commands to you based on that. Even though humanity naturally thirsts for holiness, the world offers so many distractions that the appetite for holiness is often spoiled. The distractions of the world will never offer the spiritual nourishment the soul needs, however. Even though it is possible to achieve holiness, doing so is not often easy. You need to dedicate your mind and your heart to the practice if you have any hope of accomplishing the task. Be baptized by receiving the Holy Spirit as The Lord promised His followers, to be your guide and comforter, abiding with you forever.  Read the Bible, pray daily and meditate upon the word of God to strengthen against spiritual sin and to learn godly ways. In 1 Peter 1:13-14, the believer is instructed to "gird up the loins of your mind." If transcribed more literally, it would mean, "prepare your mind for action." Setting your mind to action means making a clear, determined effort to abandon sinfulness and follow God in holiness. There will be plenty of outside influences that try to lead you astray. If you do not fix your mind on a clear, definite goal, you are more likely to slip off the path you need to walk down in order to reach it. Many people often get the wrong idea about holiness and think that it can be achieved simply by following a strict set of rules. Rules and rituals have their place, but when you start to care more about looking holy than being holy, you tread into the...

Summary in Russian:

Принадлежите Богу и к жажде святости. Подготовьте свой ум и сердце. Избегайте морализма. Поставьте себя отдельно от всех. Практикуйте самоконтроль. Не терпите греха. Умрите для себя, но любите того, кем вы являетесь. Рассмотрим рабочие катализаторы в вашей повседневной жизни. Молитесь о святости.


Article in English: Trust your gut feelings and try to be honest with yourself. If you see these symptoms in another person and you're feeling rotten around them, it's time to face up to removing them from your life or dealing with them differently. And be kind to yourself. This isn't the time for berating yourself for being stupid enough to fall for a controlling person's antics; a controlling relationship can creep up on you unawares, cloaked in an initial interest in you and a seeming care for you which turns from all sweetness and roses into manipulative knife-twisting once the controller realizes you're "caught."  The stronger a person that you are, the harder a controlling person will work to tear you down. It's like an ego trip for them. In other words, this is a backhanded compliment to you, that you are actually a strong and caring person targeted by a conniving individual who aspires to have your traits but hasn't got the courage. Don't be afraid to reach out to others you trust for your emotional needs. This will allow you to gain a more healthy perspective about your life, as well as force you to seek out your own individuality and independence away from this person. Do not provide an explanation to this person for your need for these changes. That will only invoke more attempts at control since they will know what you're up to and their manipulations will prevail. Just make the changes. Expect the controlling person to try to pressure or guilt you into doing what they want. They may try to use manipulation, such as “Surely, you'd have to agree with...”, or “If you love me, you’ll do…” Or, they may try to use blunt force, such as "If you leave, then...", “You need to...”, etc. When you hear these sorts of words, don't yield your boundaries.  Be firm and make clear, direct statements, such as “I will not tolerate you monitoring my internet use. If we are going to stay together I need my privacy.” Don't be surprised by bad reactions to your removing yourself from their sphere of control. When controlling personalities...

Article in English: Try a salad mix with a spicy green like arugula, then add slices of Camembert. Cut up a few apple or pear slices, and sprinkle on a small handful of pecans or walnuts. You can even add a few sliced onions for a flavorful finish. For dressing, add a simple vinaigrette or even a honey mustard. Use Camembert as a substitute for cream or milk. For instance, melt it into pasta dishes, including mac and cheese or a simple mushroom and Camembert pasta. You can also use it in mashed potatoes; just add room-temperature Camembert before you mash them. For these dishes, it's best to cut the rind off and just use the inside part of the cheese if you want it to become part of the sauce. Butter the outside of two nice slices of bread. Place one piece butter-side down in a warmed pan or panini press. Add pieces of Camembert on top of the bread, then spread or drizzle a nice jam on top. Place the other piece of bread on top, then heat the sandwich on both sides. If you're using a panini press, just press it down after you've finished assembling the sandwich. Cut the Camembert into wedges, and dredge them in flour mixed with salt and a couple of dashes of dried thyme. Dip the cheese into a well-beaten egg, then into bread crumbs. Place the cheese in 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) of hot oil, and cook until the cheese is golden brown. Try serving this cheese with a sweet and fruity vinaigrette.

Article in English: Try filling a bowl with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Place the silver in the bowl and let it soak for about 15 minutes. Use your hands to gently scrub the jewelry, rinse with clean water, and dry with a soft, nonabrasive cloth. Mix one teaspoon of olive oil with half a cup (120 mL) of lemon juice in a nonreactive bowl. Dip a soft, nonabrasive cloth in the lemon juice solution and polish the silver with the cloth. Rinse the silver with clean water and dry with a clean cloth. Commercial silver cleaners contain powerful solvents that can have toxic vapors. These cleaners also might require hazardous waste disposal because of the chemicals they contain. Commercial silver cleaners can also damage sterling silver, as they might remove anti-tarnish coatings or patina. You should avoid scrubbing sterling silver with baking soda because the baking soda can scratch the surface of the silver. You should also avoid scrubbing sterling silver with toothpaste.

Summary in Russian:

Article in English: Try not to be nervous. Remember that you’re not the only one looking for new friends. Depending on when you arrive at your new school, some cliques may have already formed, but there’ll be others just like you who are looking for new friends. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. You might have fewer friends at your new school than you did at your old school, and that’s okay. As life goes on, there are peaks and valleys in social popularity and it isn’t your fault. . Never change who you are to try to fit in. If your friends don't accept you for you, they're not really friends. Most people belong with a certain clique simply because they are being themselves and their unique personalities and interests falls into that stereotype. For example, someone who is naturally athletic may become a jock in high school while someone who is naturally artistic will fit in with other artistic students. Clothes are a big part of image and self-confidence. Instead of trying to wear an outfit you think will impress people, focus on wearing clothes you like. They’ll give people an idea of your personality, but more importantly you’ll feel comfortable in your own skin. If your school has a uniform, try and see if there are ways to make it fit your style. Many schools will give you a choice of outfits, or you can try and wear a pin that reflects your style. As you work to become more confident, it’s important to change your mindset. Instead of worrying about not finding friends, picture yourself succeeding and meeting new people. Recognize all the small successes along the way, such as talking to someone new and enjoying the conversation. You’ll have an easier time making friends if you see yourself as a worthy friend. Write down some positive things about yourself, and keep the list somewhere handy so you can refer to it anytime you’re feeling less confident. A fun trick you can use for this is to think of your favorite celebrities. Write down qualities that both you and them possess; it’ll help you carry yourself more confidently.

Summary in Russian:

Сделайте глубокий вдох и расслабьтесь. Будьте собой Носите любимую одежду. Визуализируйте. Не пожалейте времени, подумайте о своих качествах.


Article in English: Try not to become aggressive or angry at others, as this will only make the disagreement worse. Take a deep breath and try to respond to others in a rational, calm way.  If you are very upset, you can try stepping away from the situation and returning when you are calm and more relaxed. Acknowledge the other person's anger and offer to talk about the situation a little later. Allow both of you to cool off a little so that you can have a more productive discussion that isn't dominated by emotion. Try to respond to any disharmony in your life with compassion and patience. Rather than get upset, think about how you can rise above the situation and find a solution. Try to empathize with others and work with their shortcomings or issues, instead of trying to change them or make them see your point of view.  For example, if you get in an argument with a friend, think about how they might feel in the situation. Try to empathize with their point of view and respond to them with compassion, rather than anger. Remember that different events have different meanings to different people. Try to understand where they are coming from by saying, "Help me understand how you see this situation." Maintain eye contact with the person when they are speaking, even if you do not agree with what they are saying. Keep your arms relaxed at your sides and turn your body towards them so they know you are paying attention. Nod and say "uh huh" or "okay" to let them know you are listening.  Avoid interrupting them when they are talking. Instead, wait for them to finish speaking. Then try repeating what they said back to them so they know you heard them correctly. For example, you may say, "What I think you said is..." or "What I am hearing you say is...". Sometimes, things just don't go your way. You may need to find common ground with someone you do not agree with or let go of your pride and accept a compromise. Agreeing to a compromise may help you move on from the situation and not let the disagreement throw you off balance or into...

Summary in Russian:

Не кричите или не срывайтесь на других. Противопоставьте гневу сострадание и сочувствие. Активно слушайте. Будьте открыты для компромиссов. Признайте, что невозможно соглашаться со всеми.


Article in English: Try not to dwell on negative thoughts, such as worrying that you haven’t studied for a long time, that you'll be older than the other students, or that you shouldn't take so much time away from your family. Remind yourself that you are doing this to better yourself and that you have the support of your family and the maturity and experience to succeed.  Deciding to go back to school is one of the hardest steps; once you've done this, you can take comfort in the fact that you made a difficult decision and are now in a position to benefit from it. Remember that by doing something so significant for yourself, you are taking steps toward a better you -- and this will benefit your children in the long run. Dismiss any thoughts that your choice is selfish or bad for your kids. If you are given a course syllabus or schedule, take the time to plan ahead so you can be sure to complete assignments on time. This might require scheduling extra study time before due dates or exams. Being prepared for what is to come will help keep you from falling behind, which can be hard to recover from, especially while juggling kids and school.  A good way to stay on top of your studies is to do a little bit each day rather than "cram" before the final exam. Even if you can only set aside 20 minutes a day, this will add up in your favor if you commit to studying during that period. If you are having trouble keeping up, request extra help from your professor with course concepts, more assistance from your spouse in handling the kids, or add 30 minutes a day to your babysitter's schedule. Any way you slice it, being a parent and a student is no easy task. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself to excel at everything. Your educational goals should be set based on what you hope to achieve in the long run and within the context of your personal and family life. Are you simply taking a class for fun, or do you need to do well in order to keep your job?  Work out what you have to do to pass your classes, commit to that, and take pride...

Article in English: Try not to isolate yourself during this time.  Talking about the loss of your dad can really help you cope. Find a few people you can confide in about how you're feeling and have them on speed dial for the particularly bad days. You might choose to talk to your mom, grandparent, sibling, guidance counselor, or friend.  For instance, you might call up a friend who lost her mom a while back.  You can say, “Hey, I know you lost your mom a few years ago.  I guess I always knew my dad would die one day, but this was so sudden.  I didn't get to tell him goodbye and I'm having a hard time with that.” If you try to talk to someone whose parent recently passed, be aware that they might not be ready to talk about it yet. Though alone time is necessary, too much of it during this period can be isolating.  Try to be alone for no more than three hours during the day.  Instead, spend some time with your family and friends, particularly those who were close to your father.  You'll be able to help each other get through it. If you need some time alone, that's OK too. Try to balance alone time with social time. This will give you have room to heal without isolating yourself from your loved ones. Though you may have known your dad well, there are probably lots of cool stories you don't know.  Take some time to find out some things you didn't know from people who knew him before you were born. For instance, his siblings might have some funny or interesting stories about him. If your friends reach out to you offering assistance with something, let them help you!  This is a hard time for anyone, so if you need a little help, that's okay. That's what friends and family are for.  For instance, if you're hungry and your friends offer to bring you lunch, accept it!  You can return the favor one day when they're in need. Also, if you need help, ask!  You can say, “Hey Sara, would you mind coming over to study with me for the math exam?  My brain has been all over the place since my dad died and I could use a little help.” Support...

Article in English: Try not to let anyone see you writing in your diary. If they do, they’ll know you have one and will probably want to read it or attempt to find it when you’re not looking. Only take out your diary when you’re completely alone, just to be safe.  If your diary is disguised, like in a notebook, you can write in it around other people as long as no one is close enough to see what you’re writing. When you're at home, wait until your parents leave or until everyone else goes to bed before you break out your diary. If you get caught with your diary or writing in it, don’t panic. Pretend like it’s just any old book, like a notebook for school. Calmly close it, tuck it away, and change the conversation.  If someone asks what you’re doing, say something casual like, “Oh, nothing, just finishing up algebra homework for tomorrow. Cute shirt! Where did you get it?” Avoid acting nervous, tripping over your words, or fidgeting. These are all signs you’re lying and the other person will likely suspect you’re hiding something. This will make writing in your diary more complicated but adds another level of protection in case anyone finds it. Invent your own code or language to write in by mixing up letters or even including numbers. Keep a key, which explains how to read the code, somewhere safe, like in a locked drawer.  One example of a code is the reverse alphabet. “A” is now “Z,” “B” is now “Y,” “C” is now “X,” and so on. So for instance, you’d write “boy” as “ylb” or “love” as “olev.” If you’re fluent in a language other than your native one, you can write in that. For example, if all of your friends speak English but you’re also fluent in Spanish, keep your diary in Spanish. But remember, some friends may use translation services like Google Translate to find out what’s written in your diary.  A good place to keep your key is on your phone in the notes app. Don’t write the key in your diary because, if someone finds your diary, they’ll then be able to translate everything.
