Article in English: Try not to let the fine china sit with food particles on its surface for a long period of time, as the acid in the food particles can damage the china. You should also avoid soaking the fine china overnight in warm water as this can weaken the china. Instead, roll up your sleeves and commit to cleaning the fine china as soon as it is no longer in use. This will ensure the food particles come off the fine china easily and the fine china is not in danger of being damaged. Start by taking off any rings or bracelets that could clank or hit the fine china as you wash it.  You may also want to lay a thick towel or a rubber mat at the bottom of your sink to protect the fine china from getting nicked or chipped during the wash. Push the tap out to one side or to the other sink, if you have two sinks, so there is no risk of you hitting the fine china on the tap. Go for a soft sponge and a plastic brush or a rubber spatula that will be gentle on the fine china. Avoid metal cleaning tools like steel wool or sponges that have a rough and scratchy surface. Never scrape the surface of the fine china with metal utensils, as this can damage the fine china. Rather than stacking the fine china on top of one another, lay them all out flat on the kitchen counter and wash each piece individually. Use warm water and a mild detergent that does not contain lemon or bleach. Take your time as you wash each piece of china. Rub the surface of the china carefully and gently to avoid scratching the china. If the china has stains from coffee or tea, you can use a gentle scrubbing agent to spot clean these stains. You can also use baking soda and water to gently remove the stains. You can also remove water deposits on your china, which tend to develop when china is run through a dishwasher or water is left to sit on the china for too long, using apple cider vinegar diluted in water. As you wash each piece of china, place them upright in a wooden or plastic drying rack so they can air dry. You can also have someone help you dry them using a...

Помойте фарфор как можно скорей. Снимите с рук кольца или драгоценности. Используйте мягкие приспособления для чистки, вроде губки или пластиковой щетки. Помойте каждый элемент посуды отдельно теплой водой и мягким жидким моющим средством. Нанесите мягкое моющее средство на пятна от кофе или чая. Дайте фарфору просохнуть на воздухе или протрите его мягким полотенцем.


Article in English: Try not to use body wash or hand soap; they are too harsh and will dry your skin out. You also don't want to wash your face too often, even if it is very oily. This will also cause your skin to dry out. When your skin becomes too dry, it will start producing extra oils to make up for it. Soak a cotton ball with some toner, and sweep it across your face, focusing on the nose, forehead, chin, and cheeks. Avoid the sensitive area around your eyes. Follow up with some moisturizer. If you have oily skin, try to find a light-weight or gel-based moisturizer.  The toner will help restore your skin's natural pH. It will also help tighten your pores. Moisturizer will hydrate your skin. It will make it appear smoother and less flaky. This doesn't mean that you have to avoid the sun. Instead, try wearing sunscreen each time you go out. If you don't like wearing sunscreen on your face, try using some foundation or moisturizer that has SPF 15. Everyone gets them at some point in their lives. Some people get them sooner than others. If you find yourself burdened with acne, there are a few things you can do to make it less severe:  Try not to pick or pop your pimples. This will cause them to bleed, and you may get scars. Wash your face twice a day. This will help get rid of acne-causing bacteria. If you wear makeup, be sure to wash it off before you go to bed. Buy some pimple cream from the drug store. Keep in mind that these creams may take some time to work. Don't use more than directed; this won't make the pimples disappear faster. Ask your parents if you can see a dermatologist if you have severe acne. Most pimple creams will do the job, but some people might need something stronger. A dermatologist may help you find the right product, or give you a prescription. Consider covering some pimples up with concealer. Everyone gets pimples, but if they really lower your confidence, you can dab on a little concealer over them to make them less noticeable.

Article in English: Try the calculators at the US National Weather Service, freemathhelp.com, or onlineconversion.com. All of these calculators use the new wind chill formula adopted by the US and other countries in 2001. If you use a different calculator, try to find one that uses this formula; the old formula can give misleading results. Both of these pieces of information are typically available from weather forecasts on websites, television and radio stations, and newspapers. Unless the forecast specifies wind speed at ground level, multiply the speed by 0.75 to get a more accurate estimate of the wind speed at the height of a human face. This estimate is based on the standard wind speed measurement height of 33 ft (10 m), and typical atmospheric conditions. Using a wind speed measured at a height of 5 ft (1.5 m) is more accurate, but not usually available without your own anemometer. Make sure you select the units (such as mph or ºC) that the measurements are written in. Click "OK" or a similar button, and you should see the new apparent wind chill temperature.

Article in English: Try to be as busy as possible during the day and night. Keep your mind focused on activities that do not stimulate your sexual fantasies. This will vary in each person. Some examples of positive or distracting activities you can try are: playing video games, watching a movie (non-sexual), going for a walk, going window shopping, playing with a pet, reading a book, playing an instrument, creating art (painting, coloring, sculpting), and writing in a journal. Our obligations can help us focus on what is necessary (money, food, shelter, education, etc) rather than what is not essential for daily life (masturbation). Having less free-time overall can decrease your desire and actual ability to masturbate because it becomes an impractical part of your day. If you don't have time for it, you might not do it.  Make a list of the things you need to complete each day. This list might include things like: complete work or school projects, go shopping, clean bedroom, pay bills, practice the guitar, and exercise. Keep this list handy. When you have the urge to masturbate, look at your list and tell yourself, “I don’t have time to masturbate right now. I need to get all of this done today.” Get a job if you are old enough. A job is a good distraction and can help you structure your schedule. Not to mention you'll have money to spend on activities that can distract and entertain you! Sometimes your environment (being home alone, or in your bedroom) can increase your desire to masturbate. Since masturbation in public is most likely inappropriate and illegal, changing your environment may help to reduce your urge to masturbate.  If you have the urge to masturbate, take a walk outside or go for a drive. If you are in public it may prevent you from masturbating. Additionally, it can take your mind off of your desire to masturbate. Ask a friend to hang out or spend time with your family. It will likely limit your ability to masturbate if you are in front of other people. Exercise may help reduce sexual desires. If you masturbate...

Article in English: Try to become the best employee in your department. Additionally, be flexible by working outside of your job description to make sure things get done. This will show your boss that working hard is your priority. Some other ways you can impress your boss include:  Coming to work early every day Giving 100% on each task, no matter how small Maintaining a positive attitude under stress Your clothing will introduce you better than words ever could. What do your clothes say about you?  Similarly, your level of grooming will speak volumes about your personality. If you want to appear professional, you need to be very well groomed.  Your clothing should always be clean and ironed. If you have facial hair, keep it trimmed and tidy. Practice good personal hygiene. . Use confident body language at work to draw the attention of others. For example, relax your stance slightly by resting your weight on one hip or crossing your arms. This will tell others that you are calm and in control. Some other examples of confident body language include:  Looking your coworkers in the eye when you’re talking to them Smiling a lot to show that you’re feeling calm and self-assured  Using good posture People are naturally drawn to genuinely self-assured individuals. If you feel good about yourself, people will notice. Kill any negative thoughts you have about your self-image, body, or personality. Instead, nurture positive, constructive thoughts.

Article in English: Try to do all the assigned work and keep up with the material anyway. Sometimes, you may find that you like a very demanding teacher better once you start to get a grasp on the subject. If a teacher is not really teaching a class, you might have to set your own learning goals and work to achieve them. Use external sources of information to gauge what you should be learning in this class. Setting realistic personal goals is a crucial part of self-directed learning.  For example, if you are in a class that is supposed to be preparing you for a set exam, find published older versions of that exam in your library. Work your way through one of them and identify what you still need to learn. Make use of your textbook. Most textbooks have sample questions and answers at the ends of chapters. Set a goal of being able to answer 80% of the relevant questions correctly. Take full advantage of other resources, such as designated tutoring times led by other teachers, to learn the subject taught by the horrible teacher. Just because you can’t learn a topic from this teacher doesn’t mean you should learn it at all! For example, if your foreign language teacher is horrible, you might ask another teacher in the language department for advice on learning and practicing that language. Don’t criticize your teacher, but just ask for resources to help you learn outside the classroom. Studying with friends can offer the moral support you need to survive the horrible teacher. In addition, you may understand a particular concept better if you hear someone else explain it.  Take turns teaching one another the key concepts each week. Use a white board or chart paper to sketch out and demonstrate ideas. Quiz one another using flashcards to help retain information. If your difficulties aren’t limited to just one teacher, you might benefit from evaluation for a learning disability. Do you find it difficult in general to read, or to remember, or to follow directions or stay organized? Common learning disabilities include dyslexia, which...

Article in English: Try to focus on your skills and talents as much as possible. Don't dwell on what you perceive are your weaknesses. Focus on providing solutions to problems and not on the problems themselves.  Choose to be happy. This is not easy, but important to find the good in any situation.  Remove negativity. This means refraining from behaviors cause you unhappiness or from interactions with people who make you unhappy.  Never underestimate the power of a smile. A smile make you more approachable and helps you feel better. People can see you are a friendly and affable person when you greet them with a smile on your face and in your voice. Everyone has imperfections, and can feel like a failure at times. Acceptance therapy has shown that recognizing your issues can reduce the distress caused by them. Think about what is about yourself that bothers you. Then acknowledge that these are things that make you special and more relatable to others. It is easy to find common ground with others who share your insecurities. It is easy to let fear and panic set in when you have self-doubt. A way to not let those negative feelings take over is by reminding yourself of your successes. Make a list of all of your successes. They can be big or small, ranging from things like catching the earlier train to landing a new client to negotiating a promotion. If needed, read your list aloud to yourself.

Article in English: Try to gently chip off as much of the top layer of paint as possible. Any paint you can remove this way will be less paint that the alcohol has to cut through. Be careful not to dig into the wood and leave scratch marks behind. Use basic rubbing alcohol, which can be purchased at most drugstores or grocery stores. Place the cloth on top of the open bottle and shake it once or twice to saturate a small section of the cloth. Keep adding alcohol to the cloth and continue rubbing until all the paint is gone. Alcohol can damage the wood's finish, so only use it on the exact area of the paint stain. Moisten a clean cloth with a bit of water and wipe the area with it to remove all the remaining residue. The wood may still smell of alcohol, but that will dissipate over time. Rub the damp spot until all excess moisture is removed. The wood will still be wet, but should dry within 24 hours.

Article in English: Try to get the embroidered or crocheted kind with the scalloped or zigzag edge. The fancy edge will become the fancy points of your crown. Avoid getting thin, fabric lace or ruffled lace; those are not stable enough to make princess crowns. Don't worry if the lace is not the right color. Choose the lace for the shape. You can always paint it. Because lace trim is so short, it usually shorts better as a mini crown. You can try making it as a regular crown; to do this, cut the lace a little bit longer than the circumference of your head. If your crown is not the right color, you can always paint it using acrylic paint or spray paint. Place the crown down onto a sheet of paper, then paint it. Once the paint dries, flip the crown over, and paint the other side. Most acrylic paints and spray paints will be dry to the touch in 20 minutes, but some may require up to two hours. Refer to the label for more specific drying times.  If you are using acrylic paint, dab it on using paint brushes or foam brushes. Be sure to get the paint into all of the nooks and crannies. If you are using spray paint, be sure to paint outside or in a well-ventilated area. This will help your crown keep its shape. Cover one side with Mod Podge or fabric stiffener and wait for it to dry. Then, flip the crown over, and cover the other side. Allow the Mod Podge or fabric stiffener to dry completely before moving on. You can decorate the lace crown however you want, but you might want to keep the lace's original pattern/design as a guideline. Here are some decorating ideas:  Outline the crown with glitter. You can draw on the crown using white school glue, and then shake glitter over the glue. You can also use glitter glue instead. Attach rhinestones to the crown using hot glue or fabric glue. Glue a line of tiny rhinestones or pearls all along the bottom edge of the crown. Overlap the ends by at least ½ inch (1.27 centimeters), or until the first point on either side are aligned. Secure them with a line of glue. You can use hot glue or fabric...

Article in English: Try to learn to play without looking at the keys. Many examiners give you enough time to play the piece through, even if the time they set you is, for example, 30 seconds. To cheat a little, play the piece through twice without stopping. It is likely that they won't realise until you play it for the real time, and therefore you will have two rehearsals. The examiner is looking for quality of your playing. Firstly, look at the time signature and key signature. Then, get the beat in your head (count 1-and-2-and-3-and...). You can also tap with your foot if you want. Look over the lines and get a feel for what it might sound like. Then, slowly play the notes, perhaps saying the notes in your head as you play them. If you make a mistake, keep going.

Article in English: Try to only capture the whiteboard, since a border around it could be distracting.  A good way to do this is to extend your tri-pod above the board and then angle the camera downwards. If you do not have a camera or tripod but do have a phone capable of recording video, you can still make a "Draw My Life" video. Just set your phone on a table with the camera sticking off the edge. Set up your whiteboard beneath the table, within the frame of the camera.  Figure out what you will be drawing first based on your storyboard. You will likely be starting with your birth or where you were born. Draw based on your skill. Stick drawings are perfectly acceptable. Your audience is more interested in hearing about your life story, they will excuse bad drawings if your commentary is good. Each scene should represent a certain event or memorable period of your life. Try to fully draw each one before moving on to the next. Use the rule of thirds to capture the scene in a focused way. The rule of thirds helps to draw your viewer's attention to certain parts of the scene. Since the entire video is a single shot of a whiteboard, you will have to make your drawings fun and interesting in order to keep the viewer from becoming bored. Use different colors to help add some flavor to the video.

Article in English: Try to remove as much paint as possible. Getting rid of the excess paint makes the job of cleaning your brush a lot easier! You can do this by wiping your brush on the edge of the paint can as you are finishing up, and then wipe the brush on a rag or paper towel to remove even more paint. Once the bristles are dry, you can store your brushes away in their original containers. Make sure the bristles are dry first; if you store damp brushes, they could grow mold or mildew.

Summary in Russian:

Article in English: Try to remove the flowers just as they begin to wilt or fade as doing this prevents them from growing seed pods. To deadhead an Iris bloom, either use your fingers or take a clean sharp pair of scissors and snip or pinch off the single bloom just behind the flowerhead. It’s important to remove not only the shriveled petals but also the green swollen sheath it emerges from, as this is the part that will eventually develop into a seedhead. Try to avoid accidentally removing any remaining flowers as there may be other blooms on the stem yet to open. Try to get into the habit of checking you plant twice a week or so during the flowering season. Some varieties of Iris (such as African Iris) have blooms which last only for one day but the plant will quickly grow new ones. Some Iris varieties (such as the bearded Iris) will often flower twice, once in early summer and once in late summer. Once all the blooms on a flower stem are gone and you don’t expect any more, you can then remove the flower stem from the plant. Removing the flower stem helps prevent rot. To do this:  Take a sharp blade such as a pair of garden sheers. The stem will be quite woody in many iris varieties. Snip the stem off at the base near the ground about an inch above the rhizome. This stem can then be composted. It’s very important to leave the foliage on the plant after the flowering ends, so don’t be tempted to cut the plant back just yet. The Iris will use the foliage to draw energy into its roots to help it survive the winter. Leave the foliage on the plant until it withers away of its own accord.  It’s okay to trim off any brown tips but leave as much healthy green growth as possible. In the fall, once the foliage is withering away, you can cut back the foliage to about 6 inches (15.2 cm) from the ground.

Article in English: Try to see the joy in the world. Laugh with others, but not at them. Everyone appreciates someone who is jolly and jovial. Smiling and laughing a lot is a huge part of having a good personality. A lot of people seem like they have a good personality until you see them in an emergency or tense situation. Then they lose their cool. Don’t be this person! If you are in a tense situation, try to remain relaxed and see what you can do to resolve the situation. For example, let’s say your car breaks down on the highway and you’re going to be late to work. Don’t start yelling and screaming – that’s not going to fix anything. Keep your mind clear and start developing a plan to solve the problem. One important part of having a good personality is being willing to change your worldview. Listen to others and always be willing to change your mind. Don’t pass judgment on other people just because they act in a different way than you do. Keeping an open mind will allow you to make many new friends and probably live a much more interesting life. There’s no need to shut off parts of the world. Getting out of your comfort zone and experiencing new things can help you become more open-minded and develop new beliefs and habits. You could be the most talented, extraordinary person in the world, but if you don’t have any modesty than you probably won’t have a good personality. Always keep yourself level and balanced. Nobody likes a big ego.

Article in English: Try to use 99% rubbing alcohol instead of the regular 70%, as it will kill more germs. This will give the hand sanitizer that gel-like texture. It will also take away some of the harshness of the rubbing alcohol and make it less drying by moisturizing your hands. You can use any scent you'd like, but the following scents have antimicrobial properties: cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint, rosemary, thyme, or thieves. There should be no lumps or clumps. Try to use a bottle with a pump or squeeze top. Take the cap off and insert the funnel. Pour the mixture through the funnel and into the bottle. Use the spatula to scrape everything out of the bowl. Your scented hand sanitizer is now ready to use. The ingredients may settle over time. If this happens, simply give the bottle another shake.

Article in English: Try to walk outside at least three times a week. Or, do an exercise that is safe and comfortable for you. You can ask your doctor to recommend a proper exercise regimen. Exercise will improve your blood flow and nourish damaged nerves. Walking reduces your overall blood sugar levels and makes diabetes easier to control. If you successfully control your diabetes, your neuropathy will lessen. If you struggle with setting aside time to exercise, remember that you can take small steps to be active. For example, you can clean up the house, play with the dog, or hand wash your car. All of these will get your blood flowing. Fill a small container or tub with warm water and add 1/4 cup of Epsom salt for each cup of water. Make sure the water isn't over 100 degrees. Set your feet in the container or tub so that the water covers them. The warmth of the water can relax you and distract from the pain in your feet. And, Epsom salts contain magnesium which can relax your muscles. If you have an infection or swelling, ask your doctor before soaking in Epsom salts. Alcohol can be toxic to your nerves, especially if they are already damaged. You should limit yourself to four drinks spaced over the course of a week. Some forms of neuropathy are actually caused by alcoholism, so you should eliminate alcohol if you have any neuropathy. Stopping drinking can relieve your symptoms and prevent more damage. If alcoholism runs in your family, you may not want to drink at all. Consider giving alcohol up entirely to stay safe and healthy. This natural oil found in a wildflower is available in pill form. Ask your doctor to recommend a specific dose of the supplement evening primrose oil. Studies have shown that the fatty acids it contains can improve symptoms of neuropathy.

Article in English: Try to wear a sanitary pad in order to see approximately how much bleeding there is. It is extremely important to pay attention and look for clots in the blood (clots could be an indication of internal hemorrhage or another clotting disorder) and to take note of the color of the blood (you need to see if it is a lighter red or a darker one. If you have vaginal bleeding, it is best to lay down for two reasons: first of all, to avoid dizziness and second of all, if you lay down, you minimize the rapidness of the blood loss. Most of the time, the treatment for bleeding is rest. The doctor or midwife may also advise a pregnant woman to take time off work and stay off her feet. If you are bleeding (even minimally) do not have sexual intercourse for at least a few days after the bleeding has stopped, unless you are told otherwise by your gynecologist. This measure is meant to protect you against physical trauma that could lead to another bleed. Do not use tampons. Do not use tampons to control the bleeding, use pads instead. This is important as tampons can irritate the vaginal orifice or the cervix, possibly leading to further bleeding. Do not engage in any physical activity after you have experienced a bleed, as this could lead to greater blood loss. Remember that you are supposed to get as much rest as possible following a bleed during pregnancy. Clearing your vagina this way could affect the equilibrium of the bacterial flora present in the vagina. By altering this equilibrium, you could make the vagina more susceptible to other infections which could affect your pregnancy.

Article in English: Turn the dials to the largest load size to completely fill your washer. Use the “heavy duty” cycle if you can’t manually set the amount of time your washer runs. Set the temperature knob to the hottest wash setting, press start so the drum starts to fill with water, and keep the lid open. If your machine has a “drum clean” cycle, use that setting instead. Add the baking soda while the water fills the drum so it mixes throughout the machine. The baking soda will react with the vinegar to lift any residue and clean the inside of your machine. Keep a box of baking soda in your laundry room separate from the baking soda you use for cooking. That way, you’ll be able to make the solution when you need it. Close the lid on the machine for 1 minute so the cycle can start. This will mix the baking soda, vinegar, and water more thoroughly and will get your cleaning solution throughout the entire drum. After a minute, lift the lid back up to pause the cycle. Some washing machines will lock the lid once the cycle has started. Press the stop or pause button to unlock it and open the lid.

Clean the sides and top of your machine with a damp rag while your cycle is running to make the best use of your time.

Article in English: Turn the hand wheel at the side of the machine toward you. Continue until the needle goes through a full rotation, lowering into the machine and rising back out to its highest position.  For the sake of safety, it is best to do this while the machine is off. The presser foot should also be raised during this procedure. As you turn the wheel, you should see a loop of thread appear through the needle plate hole beneath the needle. This loop of thread is from the bobbin. Gently tug on the upper thread to release the loop and bring the lower bobbin thread completely through the needle plate hole. Pull 6 to 8 inches (15.25 to 20.3 cm) of bobbin thread out through the plate. Position both threads so that they lie toward the back of the machine.  Both threads must pass beneath the pressure foot. The upper thread will need to slide through the "toes" of the pressure foot. The completion of this step marks the completion of the entire threading process.

Article in English: Turn the water on your sink to warm and leave it on. Place each potato under the water and rub it with your clean hands for 15-20 seconds, turning it in the water as you do so. Place each potato in a clean pot or pan after you’ve rinsed it.  You can use a clean produce brush to scrub the potatoes if they’ve been sitting around for a while. A quick rinse and light rub should be more than enough though. You can boil any kind of potato. The only difference between individual varieties is the cooking time.

Article in English: Turn your head toward the side from which your attacker is choking you. This will ensure that your airway doesn't get cut off. Use your hands to grab onto your attacker's arm, with your fingers on the inside of her arm, near your chin. Raise or shrug your shoulders so you create a space where you can tuck your chin down to your body and get your fingers into the space between his arm and your chin. Aim to tuck your chin into the crook of his elbow; that is where there will be the most wiggle room. Sink down in his hold by bending your knees. This will make it more difficult for your attacker to lock his arm onto your neck. On the side that your attacker is choking you, step your foot back behind her foot to lock in her leg.  Don't arch your back backward. Instead, keep your back curved forward. If you lean back, you render yourself defenseless with no balance. Do not step out to the side, but back, behind her foot so your legs are calf-to-calf. Bend your knees and turn 180° toward your stepped foot. Your hands should still be on his arm, in between your chin and his arm. Once out of the headlock, pull diagonally across your body to throw your attacker to the ground. Keep your opposite foot (the foot that didn't lock behind your attacker's leg) strong so as to trip your opponent as you throw him to the ground across your body.

Article in English: Turon filling is composed of chopped langka and saba. Simply chop up the fresh langka to get it ready to go. The fruit can be eaten raw when it's fully ripe. To prepare the saba, cut each one into three long pieces and roll each piece lightly in brown sugar. Lay out the bowl of langka and the plated of sliced, sugared saba so you can start filling your rolls.  If you can't find langka, it's ok to leave it out of this recipe. Many recipes for turon don't call for langka, though it's a common traditional ingredient. If you can't find saba, use the smallest bananas you can find. Bananas are larger than saba so you won't need as many. Saba tastes like a cross between a plantain and a banana. The sheets of paper-thin lumpia are difficult to pull apart; be very gentle so they don't tear. Pull them apart and lay them out to get them ready for assembly.  It might help to wet your fingers with warm water so they don't stick to the wrappers. You can also steam the wrappers first to help them come apart more easily.  If you can't find lumpia wrappers, spring roll wrappers also work well. Lumpia is a bit thinner than spring roll wrappers but the taste is quite similar.

Article in English: Tutoring requires a good amount of effort before the lesson. If you skip preparing for the lesson, it will ramble on and the student won't be directed into focusing on the issues that really matter. This is not the time to be "winging it", so prepare well. These become the focus around which you build the lesson. While it is okay to introduce some new material, make sure that you spend a lot of time ensuring that the basics of the subject-matter are clear for the pupil before moving on. If there is a cost involved, pass this on to the student; inform him or her ahead of the lesson that there is a cost. Alternatively, use your own materials if you already have them, or ask the student to bring some along. Examples include stationery, textbooks, CDs, memory sticks, etc. If making worksheets, these must be developed and printed off prior to the lesson. Do not underestimate how long this will take you; with designing them, filling them out and printing/collating them, at least a good hour or more can pass by. Sit down with them and write three learning goals they have, and even help them with some personal goals. Write down what they need help with, and how they are most comfortable learning it and then apply it. Your work is pretty much useless unless you apply what you have written down. this means actually do what you write. Really become a role model for the child, giving them the help they really need. Get an extra binder, and some folders to go with it. Keep track of each child's work, needs, and progress in these folders. You may want to assign each child a folder, or assign each folder a job like "Work" or "Progress Reports". This might be in a quiet study room in the library, in a classroom or at the student's home. Wherever it is, choose a place that is safe, free of distractions and has access to anything you might need, such as power outlets for a laptop or audio player, etc.

Article in English: Two VOR receivers are best, but you can still identify an intersection with one VOR by switching the frequency and comparing the radials of both VORs. Use the OBS to set the correct radials from each VOR. The radials will be displayed on VFR and IFR charts if they are Victor airways, but any two intersecting radials may be used. On VFR charts, the arrows identifying the intersection point to the VOR, while the arrows on an IFR chart point from the VOR toward the intersection. While tracking the course on one VOR, watch the other VOR to see when the CDI centers. When both needles are centered, you are on the intersection. If DME equipped and using a VOR/DME or VORTAC, use DME to eliminate the need for a second VOR. While tracking the VOR radial, use the DME to find your distance from the station. DME distances will be displayed on IFR charts when it can be used to identify an intersection. For example, WARIC intersection is defined by the 238 radial from the VOR and the 21 nm DME fix.

Article in English: Typically speaking, you can choose between forced-air incubators and still-air incubators.  Incubators that can be set for slow air movement maintain a more even distribution of air, temperature, and humidity throughout the incubator, so you'll be able to hatch more eggs with this type of machine. As a general rule, though, still-air incubators are the most difficult machine to manage air flow in, so a rapid forced-air incubator is still a better option. The exact conditions will vary based on the type of incubator you use.  Set the temperature of a forced-air incubator between 99 and 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit (37.2 and 37.5 degrees Celsius) with a relative humidity of 60 to 65 percent. A wet bulb thermometer should read from 83 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit (28.3 to 31.1 degrees Celsius). For a still-air incubator, set the temperature between 100 and 101 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 and 38.3 degrees Celsius) at egg height, noting that there can be a full 5 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius) difference between the top and bottom of the incubator. The humidity should be between 60 and 65 percent, for a wet bulb reading of 80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32.2 degrees Celsius) during incubation. Lay the eggs in your incubator, spacing them apart evenly and in single layers.  For best results, lay the eggs horizontally. Doing so can increase hatchability. Try to keep the machine at least 60 percent full. If the incubator is emptier than this, adjust the temperature so that it is warmer by 0.36 degrees Fahrenheit (0.2 degrees Celsius). You should turn the egg by 180 degrees each time. Turning the eggs by 90 degrees could decrease the number of viable eggs. Once a day, you should sprinkle the eggs with a little warm water. Goose eggs require a high humidity, and this water can help maintain that ideal humidity. After 15 days pass, you should submerge the eggs every other day for one minute. Make sure that the water is 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit (37.5 degrees Celsius). You'll need to transfer the eggs from the main body of the...

Article in English: Typically, hay is made from either grass or alfalfa. Depending on your needs, plant grass, alfalfa, or a mixture of the 2 for use as hay after growing.  Grass hay is generally more nutritious than alfalfa hay for livestock, but alfalfa has more fiber.  If you choose grass hay, timothy grass is ideal for growing and harvesting hay. Hay grows best in soil with plenty of organic matter. Test the soil's nitrogen content with a home soil test kit and, if low, mix it with a nitrogen-rich compost.  You can buy home soil test kits from some plant nurseries or agricultural supply stores. To make your compost nitrogen-rich, add coffee grounds, plant clippings, chicken droppings or aged manure, or bone meal. Turn on the tiller and push it through the dirt in a straight row. Work your way through the dirt in straight lines until you till the entire area. If you don't have a rotary tiller or are tilling a small area, you can loosen the dirt and smooth out any clumps with a shovel. Grab a handful of grass, alfalfa, or mixture seeds and spread them evenly along the tilled dirt. Rake the entire tilled area to work the seeds into the soil using light strokes.  If you're growing grass, you can also plant grass plugs or [[lay sod instead. Water the seeds immediately after planting to help them adjust to their new environment.

Article in English: Typically, there’s a reason your friendship isn’t going well. Think about what seems to be keeping you apart and if you can solve that problem. Then, decide if it's the right decision to try. Here are some reasons your friendship may be dying:  You aren’t making time for each other.  One or both of you is going through a stressful time. You don’t have much in common. One or both of you has trouble listening. One or both of you criticizes the other. If you and your friend used to talk a lot in the past, try to get back into that habit. Talk to them in person, text them, or send them digital messages. Regular communication will help you keep your friendship going, even when both of you are busy.  For instance, send your friend a meme every morning. Don’t be afraid to be the first person to text. However, don’t send more than 2 texts without receiving a response because they might feel like you're bombarding them with texts. If you haven't spoken to your friend in awhile, reach out to see how they're doing. You might text, "Hey! This is Amy from camp. How have you been?" It’ll be easier for you to heal your friendship if you and your friend are both on the same page. It’s likely that they don’t realize that you’re trying to fix things. Choose a time when you can talk to them alone, then tell them that you’re hoping to improve your friendship. You might say, “I know we haven’t been able to hang out lately, but I really miss you. I’m hoping that our friendship can be as close as it was before.” Your schedule is probably packed, and your friend is likely really busy, too. However, you guys will need to make time for each other if your friendship is going to work. Include them in your life more by trying the following:  Invite them to go do something fun. Have a meal together. Join a club with them. Take a class together. Set up a study date. Exercise together. Set up a talk or text date. Do a video chat. Your friend will feel more connected to you if you show an interest in their life. The easiest way to do this is...

Article in English: UV light traps are ideal for catching houseflies and other relatively large species of flies and pest insects. Flies are lured in by the light, and then trapped on a glue board or killed by an electric shock.  Place your light traps approximately 4-6 feet (1.2-1.8 meters) above the floor. Position light traps so that they are not be visible from outside your house, so that the light does not lure new flies into your home. Make sure that you use a light trap that is designed for indoor use, as high-voltage outdoor bug zappers can create an unsanitary mess. Fly tape, or fly paper, is a simple and effective tool for catching large numbers of adult flies. Purchase one or more rolls of fly tape (like TAT or Black Flag) and hang them up in areas where flies tend to congregate. Do not hang fly tape directly above areas where you will be preparing or eating food. Flies or fly carcasses may become detached and drop off the tape. Fruit flies are extremely attracted to fermented fruit products, like red wine and apple cider vinegar. You can create a variety of simple traps using wine or vinegar as a bait to lure in and kill adult fruit flies:  Put some apple cider vinegar in a bottle or jar and cover the opening with plastic wrap. Use a rubber band to hold the plastic wrap in place. Create a small hole in the plastic wrap so that fruit flies can smell the vinegar and crawl in. The flies will be unable to escape, and will drown in the vinegar. Put some vinegar in a bowl and mix in a few drops of dish soap. The dish soap will disrupt the surface tension of the vinegar, causing the flies to drown if they try to land on the surface of the liquid. Set out an open red wine bottle with a tiny amount of red wine left in it. The flies will be able to enter the bottle easily, but will have a difficult time getting out again. You can also buy ready-made traps, like Aunt Fannie’s FlyPunch! or Terro fruit fly traps.  Keep fruit flies away by keeping your kitchen clean, covering all fruit and putting away food leftovers and scraps as...

Article in English: Ultimately, self-esteem is a personal issue, and people who have low self-esteem have to help themselves to truly get better.  You can offer encouragement and support, but you cannot improve other people’s self-esteem. Being able to recognize the symptoms of low self-esteem can help you offer support to your loved one.  Some symptoms to watch out for in people include:  Making constant negative comments about themselves. Expressing that anything less than perfection in their life is unacceptable. Anxiety or panic when around new people. Giving up without even trying for fear of failure. Getting extremely defensive with little provocation. Assuming that others are always thinking the worst about them. One defining characteristic of low self-esteem is the constant presence of an inner over-critical voice. Often the person will talk this way about herself.  If your loved one feels this way, she likely has low self-esteem. For example:  "I'm such a fat pig, no wonder I don't have a boyfriend." "I hate my job, but no one would hire someone like me." "I'm such a failure." Be aware that low self-esteem can get worse, not better, with time if left untreated.  If you think someone needs help, then you should talk to her sooner rather than later.  Individuals whose self-esteem problems have escalated may be more likely to:   Tolerate abusive relationships Become bullies or abusers themselves Give up on dreams and goals for fear of failure Neglect personal hygiene Participate in self-injurious behavior

Article in English: Understanding what triggers you dreams can help you to take steps to prevent them from occurring.  Dreams can be caused by medications (especially narcotics, antidepressants, and blood pressure medications), foods or drinks (particularly alcohol, but your individual triggers could be anything), stressful events, a fever or illness, or sleep deprivation. Some people even experience nightmares if they become overheated from too many blankets or pajamas that are too warm.  Do you eat a midnight snack before bed? While people used to think that only certain foods could trigger nightmares (such as spicy food), scientists now believe that it’s the act of eating itself that causes increased dream and nightmare activity, not the specific food. It's thought that eating increases your metabolism, which in turn increases your brain activity at a time when your brain is normally unwinding for rest. The increased activity leads to increased dreams and nightmares.  If you have recurring nightmares, keep a journal of the dream that includes information about any medication, unusual foods or drinks, stressful life events or worries, or illnesses that might have accompanied it. Not only do bad dreams often reflect stress or anxiety in your waking life, but the experience of having them can add to your stress load, potentially increasing your bad dreams in a vicious cycle. Take time for yourself each day to relieve stress. Try these strategies:  Practice mindfulness.  Mindfulness is a meditation strategy that focuses on the present moment rather than the past or future. In studies, mindfulness has been shown to reduce anxiety, depression, and negative affect. Try yoga as a great way to learn mindfulness. Exercise to relieve stress. Bad dreams can be caused by stress or depression. Exercising is a great way to de-stress yourself, so why not go for a jog in the park? Exercise not only can help resolve your stress (thus eliminating one of the potential causes of bad dreams), it also helps you to fall asleep faster and sleep...

Article in English: Unflattering glasses will not make you feel like you look pretty, no matter how hard you try. It’s important to be picky when selecting glasses since you’ll likely be wearing them every day.You can have several pairs of glasses, but it’s more practical to pick one dependable pair.  Go shopping for glasses wearing a favorite shirt and hairdo so you know what to expect when wearing your glasses every day. Pick frames that curve upwards on the ends to draw the eye upwards and give you an upbeat air.  To find out your face shape, pull your hair back and look in a mirror. Use the edge of a piece of soap to draw the outline of your face and then determine which shape it is.  Round faces can benefit from frames that have sharp angles to help keep your face from looking flat. An oval shaped frame helps to soften a hard jawline on a square or angular face shape. Almost all frame types can compliment an oval shape, but round frames have a tendency to look heavy. Heart shaped faces tend to have wider foreheads and narrow chins so a frameless lens or frames with edges that point upwards can work well. Glasses that look out of proportion to your face won’t be flattering, nor will frames that are too small. Make sure that the edges of your frames fall just at the outer edge of your face. They’re too big if they’re wider than the widest part of your face.  Wiggle the frames around your nose.  If they’re too tight they’ll leave unsightly red marks and loose frames will constantly be falling off your face. The tops of your frames should fall just below your eyebrows.  Make sure you have a big enough lens to look through. Too-small lenses will make your eyes squint unattractively and too-big lenses will make your eyes look puny. Instead of a simple round or rectangular frame, have fun with a cat eye or coke-bottle styled frames. Glasses are a great way to express your personal style. Don’t worry about them not matching every single item in your closet because if you treat your glasses like a statement piece, they’ll go with...

Article in English: Unfortunately, endometriosis typically comes with chronic pain. One of your most important coping methods is learning not only to control the pain, but understanding it. Keep track of your physical symptoms and how they make you feel. If you know that you are having a particularly bad day, try to stay home from work or school so that you can treat your pain effectively.  Track your pain and symptoms by keeping a journal. With time, you may be able to predict which days of the month will be your most painful. You can try to avoid scheduling important meetings or social events on those days. There are also apps you can download to help you track your pain. Pay attention to how pain affects you. By becoming aware of the impact of your pain on your daily life, you will be able to find more effective ways of dealing with it. Medication can be very helpful when reducing the pain caused by endometriosis. There are several over-the-counter pills that you can take. If your pain is severe, you can also ask your doctor to prescribe a medication that you can take on your worst days.  A good over-the-counter alternative is using a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). NSAIDS are usually the first line of treatment for women with endometriosis. Common NSAIDs include Advil, Motrin, and Aleve. Make sure to follow the correct dosage — chronic use can lead to gastritis, ulcers in the stomach, and GI bleeding. Discuss prescription pain medications with your doctor. Be aware that many of these medications come with side effects such as drowsiness and possible nausea. Some people report that acupuncture has been successful in helping to ease their chronic pain. This technique uses thin needles inserted at specific points in the body. Acupuncture is not an exact science, but can be very helpful when done by a skillful technician. Make sure to read reviews of the business before trying acupuncture.   Shiatsu is a Japanese technique that is similar to massage. This therapy can be very helpful in relieving pain. Ask friends...

Article in English: Unfortunately, no magazine, friend, family member, or doctor can tell you what decision is best for you—or for your family. If there are kids involved, then your decision gets even more complicated. Though you may think there's only one right answer, at the end of the day, you have to be honest with yourself and see what your heart is really telling you. It can take a long time to find the truth, but the most important thing is that you recognize that no one else can tell you what to do or what to feel—especially not your spouse. This can be an intimidating thought, because chances are that you will need some time to figure out the answer. But if there's something that your gut is telling you already, then you better listen. Remember that forgiveness really is a choice; it's not something that either happens or doesn't. If you're willing to forgive your spouse, or even to try to forgive him or her, then you have to decisively make the choice to do so. Forgiveness won't just fall into your lap or his, and you need to work to get there. The first step is accepting that you're going to try to make things work. Be honest with your spouse about this. Don't let your desire to forgive or not forgive remain a mystery. Let him or her know that you really want to try to make it work. If you want to start rebuilding your relationship, then you and your spouse should spend quality time together that has nothing to do with the fact that your spouse cheated. Work on doing the things you used to love together and avoiding the places that remind you of the cheating that took place. Make an effort to start from the bottom up, making sure your relationship has a solid foundation through daily activities before you move forward too fast. You can even discover a new activity, such as hiking or cooking, to do together. This can help you see your relationship in a new light. Just make sure you don't feel like your partner is suffering through it or trying too hard, though. When you're dealing with a cheating spouse, you may feel...

Article in English: Unfortunately, once you have scratched your cornea once, you are more likely to injure it again. Therefore it's important to take certain preventative measures to protect your eyes from foreign objects and injury. For example, studies have shown that wearing protective eyewear can reduce the risk of getting an eye injury at your work by more than 90%. Consider wearing protective goggles (or at least glasses) during the following activities:  Playing sports such as softball, paintball, lacrosse, hockey and racquetball. Working with chemicals, power tools or anything that can splatter into your eyes. Mowing the lawn and weed-whacking. Riding in a convertible, on a motorcycle or bicycle. Wearing contact lenses for long periods of time can cause your eyes to dry out, making them more prone to injury. Therefore you should only wear your contact lenses for the specific amount of time recommended by your ophthalmologist. Try to plan out your day so that you are not stuck wearing your contacts all day. For example, if you run in the morning and know you want to go for a bike ride in the evening, wear your glasses all day in between those activities when working at your computer. Make a concerted effort to bring your glasses with you and change into them where appropriate. Use a product like artificial tears to lubricate your eyes even after your scratch has healed. Not only does this lubricate your eyes, but it also helps to flush out foreign objects (such as an eyelash) before they can scratch your cornea.

Article in English: Unfortunately, there aren't any cures for Parkinson’s Disease yet. However, a wide array of medications are available to treat different symptoms. Some of the medications for treating PD include:  Levodopa/Carbidopa (Sinemet, Parcopa, Stalevo, etc.), which treats the various motor symptoms seen in both early and advanced PD Dopamine agonists (Apokyn, Parlodel, Neupro, etc.), which stimulate dopamine receptors to trick the brain into believing it is receiving dopamine Anticholinergics (Artane, Cogentin, etc.), which are primarily used to help treat tremors MAO-B inhibitors (Eldepryl, Carbex, Zelapar, etc.), which help enhance the effects of levodopa COMT inhibitors (Comtan, Tasmar), which block the body’s metabolism of levodopa, prolonging the effects Though exercise is by no means a permanent solution to the effects of PD, it has been shown to reduce stiffness and improve mobility, gait, posture, and balance. Aerobic exercises that require good biomechanics, posture, rotation, and rhythmic movements have proven especially beneficial. Types of exercise that can help include:  Dancing Yoga Tai Chi Volleyball and tennis Aerobics classes Boxing, which is great for improving stability and coordination To find the best fitness regimen based on your specific progression of PD, consult a physical therapist. A physical therapist can tailor a routine to target the areas where you have started experiencing stiffness or decreased mobility. You should also consult your physical therapist for periodic reevaluation of your routine both to ensure maximum effectiveness of the regimen and to keep up with the progression of the disease. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure that has revolutionized the treatment of PD in its later stages. The procedure involves implanting electrodes into the targeted region of the brain, which are then connected to an impulse generator inserted beneath the collarbone. The patient is then given a controller to turn the device on or off at necessary times. The effects of DBS are...

Article in English: Unfurl the snake and lower the bulbous metal end into the toilet bowl. Begin the feeding the snake into the mouth of the drain. At the end of the snake is a curved hook, which will help break up and grab debris that has accumulated in the pipes.  Make sure the plastic coating on the end of the snake is intact so it doesn’t scratch the porcelain. If it is not, wrap it in duct tape. If everything is properly inserted, you should not be able to see the cable Once the snake is in position, start steadily rotating the handle on the opposite end. This will extend the snake and force its length slowly through the pipes. Plumbing snakes are constructed with flexible metal coils, so it will be able to bend and follow the contours of the pipes as it is unwound.  If it doesn’t turn, pull the snake back a little ways and quarter turn the handle counterclockwise and try again. Unclogging a toilet with a snake is as simple as turning the crank a few times. If you notice the snake slowing down or coming to a stop, it may have encountered resistance. Jostle the shaft slightly to help the snake loosen up whatever is stuck deep in the pipes. Continue turning the handle in a clockwise direction until the snake clears the pipe. Don’t be rough with the shaft of the snake or try to draw out the clog by force. Just keep winding and unwinding and let it wear down the clog on its own. After you locate and work over the clog, rotate the handle in the opposite direction (counterclockwise) to retract the snake and examine what it has collected. Always pull out the clog rather than trying force it deeper into the pipe. Repeat this process until the pipe is completely unobstructed.  Pushing the clog further in may end up making the problem worse, as eventually it can get so deep that you can no longer reach it.  Always make sure to sanitize your snake after each use. This can be accomplished by rinsing the snake off outside with a garden hose. You can also leave the end of the snake in the toilet for a few flushes after you've added...

Article in English: Unless a recipe gives you a specific description of texture, butter is considered soft when it's about room temperature. It can easily be squished by a spoon, but still keeps its shape when left alone. There are several common methods of softening butter described below. For any of these methods, however, the butter will soften more quickly if cut into small cubes first. If the butter isn't frozen and the room is warm, small pieces of butter may only take a few minutes to soften. This is especially easy if you have the oven on nearby, or if the oven's top tends to stay warm constantly due to a pilot light. Do not place the butter directly on top of a warm oven, unless it is frozen. Keep an eye on butter in hot places to make sure it doesn't melt, as this can happen rapidly. To speed up the softening process, use electric mixer, or use this tip to easily mash the butter by hand. Stick the butter in a sealed zip lock bag with most of the air squeezed out. Using a rolling pin, your hands, or any heavy object, roll or mash the butter repeatedly. After a few minutes, the butter should feel significantly softer, without any signs of melting. Instead of a zip lock bag, you could put the butter between two sheets of parchment paper or wax paper. Fill a large bowl partway full of warm water, avoiding steaming hot water. Put the butter in a sealed zip lock bag or in a smaller bowl resting in the water bath. Keep a close eye on the butter and poke it occasionally to check the texture, as this method should only take a couple minutes to soften refrigerated butter. If you can't wait for frozen butter to thaw, grate it using a coarse, large-hole grater. The grated shreds of butter should thaw and soften within a few minutes in a warm room.

Article in English: Unless all of the members are already familiar with each other, it is helpful to start the meeting with a game. An icebreaker game will make everyone feel more relaxed, which will create an atmosphere that is better for open discussion.  You could go around the room and have everyone name 3 books that they love the most. You can partner people up and have them ask questions about their literary preferences. Get ideas for books from the internet or library recommendations. Let everyone discuss and vote upon what book to read for the next meeting. After deciding, let everyone get to know each other and discuss their reading tastes. If you’re having the meeting in a home, it is a good idea to put out snacks and drinks. Your refreshments don't need to be fancy or expensive. Cookies, breads, nuts, and popcorn are all good ideas. As far as drinks, you can put out coffee, tea, water, soft, drinks, or alcohol if everyone is above the legal age.  You can also ask everyone to bring one snack or refreshment. Be mindful of vegetarian members or members watching their weight. This is why you started the club in first place! Begin to discuss the book that (hopefully) everyone in the group has read. You can open the discussion with a question, or come up with questions before the meeting begins. Some books will have a reading group guide in the back of the book. It’s also an option to designate a discussion leader for each meeting. Bring this list to the first club meeting. Get ideas for books from the internet or library recommendations.

Article in English: Unless you already have light platinum hair, you will need to bleach your hair to a very light color in order to get it gray. This degree of bleaching will likely damage your hair, so you will want it to start out as healthy as possible. If you've recently bleached your hair or used permanent dyes, avoid further chemical processing for about three months.  If your hair is already extremely light in color, near a level 9 or 10, you can skip ahead directly to dying without having to wait. Your hair doesn't have to be naturally platinum blonde to go straight to dyeing it gray. If your hair has already been bleached and does not have a dye on top of it, then it's ready to go. If your hair is already dyed, you may need to have the current color removed since color can't lift color. You can do that at home with bleach, but you'll get much better results by visiting a professional stylist. When bleaching darker hair to platinum blonde, some damage will be unavoidable. Since the ends of your hair are most likely to become dry and damaged during bleaching, you may need to trim them off when you're finished. Make sure you have an extra inch or two of hair you're comfortable with losing. With the silver trend in full swing, you have many different dyes to choose from. Do you want a light silver or a gunmetal gray? Do you want natural-looking neutral gray or an otherworldly shade with a hint of blue? Browse beauty blogs for reviews and pictures of how each dye looks. Pick the dye you like most. In addition to permanent dyes, certain pale purple and blue semi-permanent dyes and hair toners will also turn platinum hair gray. However, keep in mind that these types of coloring only last a couple of weeks. Luckily, since these treatments are very gentle, you can simply reapply them as needed without having to wait. Even though silver hair is gaining popularity, it can still be difficult to find gray hair dye in brick and mortar shops. You will likely need to purchase your dye through a website. Remember that shipping will...

Article in English: Unless you get knocked off your feet by a very strong force, you will likely still have one foot on the ground when you begin to fall. If possible, bring your airborne foot to the ground as quickly as possible. It is much easier to stabilize yourself on two feet than one.  This might not be enough to save you from falling in situations where the ground is slippery (say, an icy sidewalk) or the ground is uneven or sloped. You are better off planting your foot a fair distance (12 inches or more) away from your other foot. A wider stance provides more stability. Plant your airborne foot in the direction you are falling. If your center of gravity is moving forward, but you plant your foot behind you, this won't improve your balance. This may not be possible in sideways falls where your airborne foot is on the opposite side as the direction of your fall. Once you have two feet on the ground, bend at the knees and hips to lower your body toward the ground. This will lower your center of gravity, making it easier to stabilize yourself. This also uses your legs as shock absorbers to soften the impact to your joints of stumbling or falling.  Make a conscious effort to bend at your waist and lean your torso opposite to the direction you are falling. This will further adjust your center of gravity and stabilize you. Just be sure not to overcompensate, as this could make you fall the other way. This step is most effective on flat ground, where you are most likely to be able to squat down quickly without hurting your knees. If you are a taller person, you may need to squat lower than someone who is shorter, as your center of gravity is naturally higher off the ground. Most people instinctively reach out when falling off balance to either grab a nearby object or counter-balance themselves against the direction of the fall. Sticking out your arms away from the direction your body is moving will help quickly offset your shifting center of mass. This way, you are fighting your body's tendency to let its mass be pulled down by...

Article in English: Unless you're falling from an airplane, you won't have enough time to try this step. Maximize your surface area by spreading yourself out using this skydiving technique.  Position yourself so that the front of your body faces the ground. Arch your back and pelvis and tilt your head back like you're trying to touch the back of your head to the back of your legs Extend your arms and bend your elbows at a 90 degree angle so that your lower arms and hands point forward (parallel to, and on the sides of, your head) with your palms facing down; spread your legs to shoulder width. Bend your knees slightly.  Do not lock your legs and keep your leg muscles relaxed and fall into the motion to absorb most impact. For very high falls, the surface on which you land is the greatest influence on your chance of survival.  Search for steep slopes that gradually grow gentler, since you will not lose all of your momentum at once when you hit the ground. Observe the terrain below you as you fall.  Hard, inflexible surfaces such as concrete are the worst on which to fall.  Very uneven or jagged surfaces, which present less surface area to distribute the force of impact, are also undesirable. The best possible surfaces on which to fall are those that will compress or give way when you fall on them, snow, soft ground (such as a newly tilled field or in a marsh), and trees or thick vegetation (although these present a high risk of impalement). Water is only safe to fall into up to around 150 feet (45.7 m); past this height it will be little better than falling on cement as it cannot be compressed. Falling in water also presents the high risk of drowning (since you will most likely be knocked unconscious). Water is much safer to fall into if it is frothy and bubbly. If you're falling from an airplane, you will usually have about 1-3 minutes before impact. You will also have the ability to travel horizontally a good distance (up to a couple of miles or three kilometers).  From the arch position described above, you can direct your...

Article in English: Unlike a short story or a novel, the form of a screenplay is based around dialogue, rather than prose or description. The big rule in screenwriting is: you are writing visually. Movies are a series of images, so the images in your screenplay should be striking and engaging.  Another big rule is: Every paragraph of action lines should be four lines or less. This means that the descriptions about what each character is wearing or how they are acting in a scene should be no more than three lines. Use the least amount of words possible describing action or setting and let the dialogue do the "talking."  Character backstory and motivations should come from a character’s actions and dialogue, as opposed to the descriptions. The best screenwriters keep their action description to two lines per paragraph throughout most of the script. But there should still be a lot of description through the power of the dialogue. Keep all writing in the present tense. This keeps things moving forward in your screenplay, which is really what your screenplay should be doing: moving action and character forward. Like everything, there are exceptions to this rule of three description lines or less per scene of text. For example, the screenplay for the 2011 film “All is Lost”, written by J.C. Candor and starring Robert Redford, only has about 4-5 full pages of dialogue in the entire script. The majority of the main character’s actions are shown through long sections of description of the character’s actions. These types of screenplays are rare though, and difficult to do well. Screenplays are formatted differently than other types of writing. The format of a screenplay is very specific and can involve a lot of tabbing and hitting Enter if you are working in a word processing document. You can use software that does the formatting for you, such as Final Draft, Scrivener, and Movie Magic. You can also access basic versions of screenplay formatting programs for free online. Take note of elements of a screenplay format, including:  The...

Article in English: Unlike bees, wasps and hornets do not die after stinging, and they will not leave their stinger in your flesh. They can, however, sting multiple times. Before treating the sting, make sure you are no longer near the wasp or hornet. If the sting is on your legs, arms, hands, or feet, you'll want to remove any tight clothes, shoes, or jewelry immediately. Swelling will occur, in which case it'll be very hard to remove these items later.  The arm or leg should be elevated for this purpose as well. The less it swells, the better you'll feel, so keep those limbs elevated. If it's on your leg, lay down as soon as you can. The best thing you can do for this sting is to ice it. Don't bother with the pharmaceuticals, don't bother with the old wives' tales of other remedies -- just place ice in a wrap of some sort and keep it on the area for 10 minutes. Remove it when it's getting too cold (you'll definitely know when that is), and repeat it in 10 minute increments. The pain and itchiness will subside almost immediately. Use an ice pack, ice cubes wrapped in a towel, or whatever you have lying around. You probably don't want the ice directly on your skin, so be sure to wrap it up. Dab a cotton ball or paper towel into white vinegar, and wipe it over the sting. Wasp and hornet stings are alkaline, which means that they can be neutralized by an acidic substance like vinegar. You may need to do this every few minutes since vinegar dries quickly. You can also soak a bandage in vinegar and place it onto the affected area. Change the bandage every few hours or as needed. This will keep vinegar on the wound at all times. These agents help the wasp or hornet sting by relieving the itching and burning sensation (antihistamine) and pain (acetaminophen). Symptoms will probably last 2-5 days; follow the instructions on the label for dosage. For those under 18, aspirin is not advised. Be sure to regularly clean the wound with soap and water. A sting is nothing to worry about unless it gets infected (or if you're allergic); by...

Article in English: Unlike curling fabric ribbons with a starch solution you'll need a few more supplies and a little more time, because it can take a little bit of time to bake the ribbons into curls than to simply allow them to dry. This method, however, tends to leave them less stiff than the cornstarch method.  Get your fabric ribbon. When it curls it is smaller than what you started with so always cut off a bit more than you think you need. Grab some wooden dowels or skewers to wind the ribbons around. Get clothes pins to hold the ribbons in place. Use a spray bottle with water to spray everything before baking it. Line a cookie sheet with tinfoil on which to bake your ribbons. Place the ribbons on the tinfoil lined cookie sheet. The timing depends on your individual oven, so if it needs to go a little longer that's okay. That would be about 93 degrees Celsius. Keep checking while it's baking so that you don't over or under-bake the ribbon or ribbons. When the ribbons are completely dry, that's when you take it out of the oven. Check underneath to make sure that it is completely dry on all sides.

Article in English: Unlike most file types, DAT files can be created by virtually any program; as such, you'll need to know which program created the DAT file to figure out which program to use to open it. If you don't know which program was used to create the DAT file, you'll need to figure out which program to use before you can open the DAT file. Click or double-click the app icon of the program that was used to create the DAT file. This is usually in the top-left corner of the program's window. A menu will appear. It's in the File menu. Doing so will usually open a File Explorer window. If you're using Microsoft Office, you must double-click This PC in the middle of the page after clicking Open to open the File Explorer window. Click the file type box to the right of the "Name" text field, then click All Files in the resulting drop-down menu. This will allow the File Explorer to display all files, including your DAT file. Go to your DAT file's location, then click once the DAT file to select it. It's in the bottom-right corner of the window. Doing so prompts the DAT file to begin opening in your program. In some cases, you'll receive a warning that the file's contents don't match its file extension (or similar). If so, click Yes or Open to prompt the DAT file to open. For example, opening an Excel-created DAT file in Excel may result in a prompt warning you that the file may be corrupted. You can click Yes to open the file anyway. If you want to avoid having to drag the DAT file into its program every time you want to open it, you can change the file's extension. Keep in mind that you must know the exact extension used for the DAT file, as changing the extension to use even a slightly different format (e.g., MP4 instead of AVI) can result in the file breaking:  Right-click the DAT file, then click Rename. Select the dat portion of the file's name. Replace the dat section with the file's extension.
