Article in English: The minimum and maximum capacitance are listed on the side of the capacitor with all of its other information. The acceptable range depends on the size of the capacitor you have. If the capacitor is above or below the range, it will have to be replaced.  If the capacitance number went up infinitely to the limit of your multimeter, the capacitor has shorted out and should be replaced. Some capacitors will have a set capacitance with an acceptable percentage of variance. For example, if your capacitor says “50 ±5%,” the acceptable capacitance range is 47.5 to 52.5 F.

Article in English: The model number will determine the software that you can install during and after the hack. There are essentially two different processes that depend on the model.  For older PSPs, open the battery compartment. To the right of the Sony logo, you will see “PSP-XXXX.” All you will need to know is if it is a 1XXX, 2XXX, or 3XXX model. For the PSP Go, you can find the model number by flipping open the display and looking in the upper left-hand corner. It should say N1XXX. The ideal model is 2XXX or older model. 3XXX and the PSP Go can be hacked, but you will be slightly limited in what you can do. In order to start the hack, you will need to make sure your PSP is updated to version 6.60. You can either use the system update function, or download the file directly from the | Sony site.  If you download the update file from the Sony website, copy it to the PSP by connecting the PSP to your computer. Copy the file into the PSP/GAME/UPDATE/ folder and then run the update file from the PSP. To copy files onto a PSP, you will need to put your PSP into USB mode. Once you connect a PSP to your computer, scroll to the left on your PSP’s menu until you reach the settings menu, and then scroll up to select USB mode. Your PSP will then become accessible as a storage device from your computer. You will need PRO-C, which can be found at multiple places on the internet. Extract the file and copy the firmware onto your PSP using USB mode, into the folder PSP/GAME/.

Article in English: The modeling biz can be one of the most discouraging businesses to ever try to break into. There will be lots of rejection and people who will think you're too old for their agency. This does NOT mean you aren't beautiful or perfect for another agency. You are only too old if you think you're too old. That is a self-defeating and self-fulfilling prophecy.

Article in English: The more Mentos, the better the explosion. Experiment with putting different amounts of Mentos into the Diet Coke bottle to see what yields the best explosion. Studies have shown that Mint and Fruit Mentos yield different explosions. Try mixing them together in one cartridge and adding them to your Diet Coke bottle to see what sort of explosion they cause when they are mixed together. Fill an Empty 4-liter milk jug with 4 liters (2 two-liter bottles) of Diet Coke. Leave enough room at the top to add at least an 8-Mento cartridge. As with the original rocket recipe, stick the Mentos cartridge to the lid of the milk jug, fasten the lid, shake the container to release the Mentos into the Diet Coke, then throw the jug high up into the air and let it hit the pavement hard. Get together with your friends and each make your own rocket. Set up a flag or some other way of measuring height, and have a judge watch and name the winner.

Article in English: The more often you wash your hair, the faster the color will fade. Instead, limit to washing your hair to only 2 or 3 times per week. If your hair feels greasy, use some dry shampoo. Choose a dry shampoo that is specially formulated for color-treated black hair, otherwise it will show up. Heat can cause dye to fade, and since your hair was so light to begin with, any fading will be noticeable. This doesn't mean that you have to use frigid temperatures--just use the coldest water that you can withstand. Anything between cool and lukewarm should be fine. If you cannot find such products, use sulfate-free products instead. Most bottles will state on the front label whether or not they are sulfate-free, but it would still be a good idea to check the ingredient label on the back.  Sulfates are harsh cleaning agents that can not only make your hair feel dry, but can also fade dye. Avoid clarifying or volumizing shampoos. These shampoos open up the hair cuticle, which causes the dye to rinse out faster.  Consider using a color-depositing conditioner. You can pick one up at the salon or make one yourself by adding a little bit of your dye into a bottle of white conditioner. Heat styling includes things like hair dryers, flat irons, and curling irons. It is very damaging to your hair, especially if you do it on a daily basis. Instead, let your hair air dry whenever possible, and embrace your natural hair texture. When you do blow dry, straighten, or curl your hair, apply a heat protectant first.  Let your hair dry completely before you use a flat iron or curling iron. Consider heat-free curling and straightening methods. The easiest way to do this would be to cover your head with a hat, scarf, or hood. If you don't like wearing those, however, consider using a UV protection spray instead. It is like sunscreen, except for hair. You can find it in beauty supply shops and hair salons. Avoid exposing your hair to the pool and chlorinated water. Cover your hair with a swim cap if you have to. When you dye dark hair a...

Article in English: The more soap you have to water, the better. This is basically bubble fluid, so you want it to be liquidy but still full of soap. Start with 1/2 cup of water and a 2-second squirt of soap, then adjust accordingly. Again, this is similar to dipping a bubble wand in some children's bubble mix. Leave the end of the straw in the liquid as you inhale some smoke. Inhale as much smoke as you can from your chosen device. The more smoke, the bigger your bubble. Make sure that you exhale slowly, building the bubble so it doesn't pop on you. Pull the straw off when you're done to close off your bubble. Don't inhale with the straw at your lips or you risk inhaling a big bunch of soap.

Article in English: The more they match the natural color of your teeth, the better. You could paint them, but it'll taste funny and might come off with your saliva. If you can't find white, aim for something that's a light flesh color. A standard set from the drugstore will suffice -- no need to get fancy here! You're only using two of them anyway.    Your pack will come with nails that are all different sizes, so pick out the nails that naturally fit your canine teeth -- those are the ones that are already kind of pointy. Certain people will even be able to snap on the fake nails over their teeth. Can you get them to stick without holding? If you'd like, you can also put them on over your lateral incisors (those are the teeth to the right and left of your two front teeth). For some people, this is more visible and still looks okay.    You can use nail clippers if you're running out of time or feeling impatient, but a file is best. You can make them as pointy as you like, as long or short as you like, just make sure that the two match! You don't need very much at all -- just a drop. Any color works, but you'll obviously be better off with adhesive that's white or clear.   Do not use nail glue. Or super glue. Or any other kind of glue, for that matter. Not only is it toxic, but you'll be left with fake nails glued to your teeth that you can't get off.     This work just fine for talking and careful drinking, but try to avoid eating too much with them in. You don't want to end up swallowing your nails!

Article in English: The most accurate and efficient way of tuning your mandolin is to buy an electronic tuner made for the purpose. A violin tuner or an electronic tuner made for the mandolin are both appropriate for your purposes.  Chromatic tuners that clip onto the headstock of various acoustic instruments are recommended if you're going to be regularly tuning during practice sessions and gigs. You can leave it clipped onto your instrument, ready to fine-tune at a moment's notice. They can range anywhere from $10 to upward of $30. Online tuners are also available that play a tone for you to replicate, but these are somewhat less accurate methods than doing it with a tuner that picks up sound. If you're on a budget, consider downloading a free smartphone tuning app, which tend to be of fairly high quality and are either cheap or free. If the tuner features settings for different instruments, set it to mandolin or violin, and find a quiet room to tune in that will be free of background noise that will affect the tuner's efficacy. Tighten the corresponding tuner until you get the string relatively close. It doesn't have to be exact yet, because you're going to go back through after you've done a pass. Continue tuning each of the strings, tightening the tuning peg up and getting the tension close, watching the tuner closely. Go back through and do another pass, fine-tuning each string as closely as possible. Watch the tuner for cues. Most give you an indication of whether or not you're sharp or flat, and most turn green or blink when you're right on the money. Now go back through the strings again and play each double set to make sure it sounds right. Pluck both G strings and listen. It can be tempting to get too attached to your tuner, but you've got to use your ears too. They're not perfect, and each instrument has its own quirks and habits. Listen closely to the doubled strings to see if it needs further adjustment.

Article in English: The most basic type of line used in art is a contour line; this is the line drawn to outline an object. Some painters include contour lines around their subject, while others only use patches of color to show shapes. Determine whether or not or intend to use very obvious lines (such as contour lines) in your painting or not. Because you’re working on a flat surface, you need to create the illusion of distance through the use of space. To maintain a flat surface, keep objects the same size and spaced out. To create depth, overlap shapes and make things further away smaller while things close to the viewer should be larger. The layout of your painting, the placement of objects and figures, is known as the composition. In order to create an interesting composition, figures must be placed in such a way as to cause the viewer’s eyes to circle the entire painting. Avoid putting a single figure in the center of your painting, as this composition is the most basic. Create interest by putting a single figure on an intersection of thirds, or by adding other interesting objects to the background.

Summary in Russian:

Article in English: The most common is a corticosteroid, which will help regulate your blood pressure, help your immune system, and decrease inflammation. Your doctor will probably prescribe prednisone, prednisolone, or methylprednisolone.  Corticosteroids frequently cause hair loss. If your hair loss is from your medication, you may have to wait until your lupus is under control in order to address hair loss. If medication is what’s causing your hair loss, your doctor may be able to change your dose or put you on a different kind of medicine. Keep in mind that you might have to wait a little while to switch medications, though. Even though hair loss can be really unpleasant, it’s important to manage your disease. Depending on the severity of your lupus, your doctor may not be able to take you off the medications that are causing hair loss. However, they may be able to lower your dosage of some medicines while simultaneously increasing your dosage of others. (For example, they may lower your corticosteroid dose and add in an antimalarial, which will help regulate your symptoms without adding many new side effects.) Immunosuppressants and NSAIDS can also be used to treat lupus. Examples of immunosuppressants are azathioprine, mycophenolate, and methotrexate. Check your face and scalp in particular. If there is anything round and scaly or anything that looks like a rash, you are at risk of permanent hair loss because of scarring.  Your doctor may be able to prescribe medication or change your current medication to prevent this.

Article in English: The most common kind of nickname is just a truncated version of that person's first name. This is pretty basic, and can be a good option if you're changing schools, going off to college, or starting a new job, and you want a fresh start. It will be easier for you to adjust to a nickname that sounds similar to what you're used to being called, and because you will be meeting new people you won't have to ask them to start calling you something different than what they're used to. There are three major ways you can do this:  Simply chop off at least one syllable from the end of your name. Examples of this are "Jon" from "Jonathan," "Bea" from "Beatriz," "Sam" from "Samantha" or "Samuel," "Jess" from "Jessica," and "Santi" from "Santiago." Add an "-ie," "i," or a "y" to a shortened version of your given name. If your given name is already only one syllable, you can also add these sounds to it instead. This is more common for names used in childhood, but many adults also go by these. Common examples are "Charlie" from "Charles," "Susi" from Susana," and "Jenny" from "Jennifer." Sometimes you must add an extra consonant to spell your new nickname properly, as in "Winnie" from "Winifred," "Patti" from "Patricia," and "Danny" from "Daniel." Add a silent "e." This can be a variation of truncating your name, as in "Mike" from "Michael," or it may change the sound of the name completely, as in "Kate" from "Kathleen." Use the same rules as above, only pick either a middle or final syllable. Traditional examples of starting at a middle syllable are "Tony" from "Anthony" and "Tina" from "Christina." Traditional examples where only the last syllable is used are "Beth" from "Elizabeth" and "Rick" or "Ricky" from "Frederick." You can always use this as a guide to come up with your own non-traditional nickname. For example, if your given name is "Patrick," you can go by "Trick" instead of "Pat." There are a number of unique nicknames based on given names that you can draw from depending on your culture.  There are many English...

Article in English: The most common object in a house is a corner (and the most common solution for an object is the same as clearing a corner). The process of traversing a corner is often referred to as slicing the pie. Start as close to the wall as possible without scraping up against the wall.  Make sure that you are at least an arms length away from the corner.  You don't want your firearm to stick out into the doorway. The further you step away from the wall, the more open space you'll sight. This is the start of a semi-circle you will make around the corner.  Keep your elbows in and your front foot parallel to your line of sight so that neither will give you away. Between each step taken you should scan from the floor at the corner to the ceiling — scanning each slice in a vertical motion.  Your form will be: a firm, two-handed grip on the firearm.  You will be leaning slightly toward the direction you are stepping to allow your head (and your eyes) to be the furthest object, allowing you to see your target before he sees you. If you are proficient with both hands, use whichever hand that will keep you most concealed. Your feet should never cross, as it is a very unstable position, and if something (or someone) were to hit you, or you are forced to shoot mid-stride, your accuracy and balance will be compromised. Instead, you want to move your lead foot (the foot in the direction which you are stepping), then follow with your trailing foot. Also, be aware of your feet; make sure you are not pointing your toes into the corner as they may precede your eyes, which means the suspect may be able to see you before you see him. As you are slicing the pie, check to see what you can see in the mirror.  Try to adjust your form so that little more than your eye and your firearm are visible. You can also practice with another person using flashlights.  As soon as one of you sees any part of the other, shine your flashlight on them.  The competitive nature of this drill will sharpen your form quickly. This will allow you to react more...

Article in English: The most common reasons for verification—whether you submit the request yourself or get handpicked by Twitter's verification team—include being a highly recognizable public figure (musicians, actors, athletes, artists, public officials, public or government agencies, etc.), or if your name and likeness is parodied or impersonated on multiple Twitter accounts, leading to identity confusion.  Twitter will not take into account your number of followers or tweets when considering you for verification.  For more information, read the Verified Account terms. You can find these by going to the Twitter Verified "About" page. Posting at least twice per day and engaging people who tag you in their mentions will make your account qualify as "active" to Twitter, and it will also increase your audience's positive reception of your content. Make sure that you're discussing your content, services, or other skillset(s) with your audience so that Twitter can see that your audience cares about your public impact. As mentioned above, Twitter favors publicly recognized accounts such as performers and entrepreneurs over user accounts that don't have much in the way of public reach. If you work for a publication, perform for a company, or in any way interact with the public, you'll want to play that up here.  You should also avoid posting controversial or abrasive content. While Twitter verification isn't an endorsement from Twitter, it does take into account the good-naturedness (or lack thereof) of your account. For example, you might have a blog or a YouTube channel that you use to speak to an audience. This should be the focus of your Twitter account if you want to increase your chances of verification. . Twitter's verification standards are fairly strict, so you'll need your profile to contain information that meets these criteria, including your profile and header photos, your name, your bio, and your location. Doing this will both allow you to see how other verified accounts behave and increase the chances of Twitter...

Article in English: The most important change you can make to improve your note-taking skills is to focus solely on taking down key words and concepts.   Identify the most relevant information. Write down individual words or key phrases that are most relevant to the topic at hand -- things like dates, names, theories, definitions -- only the most important details should make the cut. Eliminate all the filler words and secondary details -- if you wanted those things you could read a textbook.  Think about what you want to retain. Why are you taking the class? Why are you attending the seminar?  Why did your employer send you to the conference?  While it may be your first instinct to try to write down what you hear or see verbatim, you have to remember that you are taking notes in order to learn something from them -- you're not writing a novella.  Prioritize any "new" information. Don't waste time writing down information that you already know -- this is useless to you and just wastes time. Focus on writing down any new information that you've never learned before -- this will give you the most value from your note-taking. This is a very effective method of taking notes, as it forces you to engage with the material as you write and allows you to describe the topic in your own words. This technique of paraphrasing information has been proven to help students understand and retain material much more effectively.  Instead of copying down line after line of information, listen carefully to what the speaker is saying and make an effort to understand the material. Once you've done that, formulate your notes as a series of questions raised by the material, then fill in your own answers. For example, if the question was "what is the central theme of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet?", the answer could be "more than a tragic love story, Romeo and Juliet is about the consequences of holding grudges". Then underneath this answer, you can provide evidence for your conclusion by pointing to specific examples from within the text. This strategy...

Article in English: The most important component for making a fabric doll is the pattern. There are many fabric doll patterns available for free online, as well as purchasable patterns at fabric and craft stores. Look at the image of the finished doll and choose one you like. Along with the pattern, purchase whatever cloth and/or fill, such as cotton batting, you might need. A typical fabric doll will require a rectangular piece of natural-colored cloth (plus more for clothes), batting, colored thread, a sewing needle, and pins to hold pieces in place while you work. Read the pattern directions for specifics. Following the pattern you bought, cut out each piece of fabric with a pair of fabric scissors and set it aside, taking care not to fold or crumple any piece. Remember to allow a bit of extra fabric, generally about 1/8 of an inch, around each piece to account for seams. Most doll patterns should provide clothing in a contrasting color, either in the form of a differently-colored body or a simple outfit; don't forget to cut those parts out, too. To allow your doll to fill out properly with the batting, you'll generally need to make stitches to help define curves. Again, follow the specific instructions on your pattern. Ball up your batting and insert it into each part of the doll that needs to be stuffed. Use thread that's the same color as the natural cloth you chose for the doll's body to tie off the open ends and prevent batting from escaping. Once every piece has been stuffed, stitch them together per the instructions on your pattern.  Batting tends to pull out from the bag in clumps or strips, but you can ball it evenly by laying out smaller pieces in a star or triangle pattern and rolling up each one in turn until you have the size you want. Stuff the head most tightly, so it's firm. Stuff the body more loosely. All this requires is colored thread and a bit of patience. Use black, brown, blue, or green thread for the eyes, and red or black thread for the mouth. Sew each feature into the doll's face by using a needle...

Article in English: The most important decision of your painting is deciding on a subject to focus on. For most beginner painters, it is easiest to choose an image (which is already flat) and painting a copy of that rather than choosing a 3-D object. To start, find something with basic lines and shapes, without too many colors, that would be easy to test your painting skills on. Common beginning painting subjects include:  A bowl of fruit A vase of flowers A stack of books Although it is not a requirement, many painters find it helpful to draw a rough outline of their figure on their canvas prior to painting it. Use a light graphite pencil to gently sketch the outline of shapes and figures on your canvas. You will be painting over this, but having a light outline will help you to keep your paint in the right areas. When painting, it is best to work from the back to the front. This will help you to accurately layer objects and create the perception of distance. Paint with a single color at a time, going back and adding other layers of color as your work. Your background should be painted first, and you can add objects closest to the foreground later. As you begin to finish your painting, add in the details you want for your background and figures. Many times this includes adding texture with your brush, a wash or glaze, and small or intricate figures as an overlay. This is the time for you to really get minute and focused on finishing touches. . With the completion of final details, your painting is done! Touch up any mistakes on your painting, sign the corner, and clean up your work materials. It is very important to thoroughly clean your paint brushes so that they stay in good condition and will work well for future projects. Save any paint that you  have left in containers, and store away your art supplies.

Article in English: The most important detail outside of your outfit will be how you handle your hygiene. It's not necessary to reach for the top shelf grooming items, despite many claims that you're soap ought to be as nice as your shoes. Find a set of products for your hair, face, and body that you feel comfortable with, and stick with them. Don't go more than two days without a shower, and try to be consistent no matter what your rhythm is.  Keep a signature cologne. While it might be tempting to keep a menagerie of fine cologne, you only really need one. That way, others will grow to associate a particular scent--your scent--with your style, deepening your point of view. Have a devoted barber, and see them every 4-6 weeks. Avoid letting your hair grow out of its hair-do. While this might be considered stylishly unkempt, its usually just a sign you've gone too long without a trim. Be open with your barber about what you're trying to achieve with your cut--having one which matches your style really tends to bring an outfit together. Don't over-condition your hair. Unless you have very thick hair, you usually won't need to condition more than every other day. For those with thin hair, you might consider experimenting with losing the conditioner altogether. Maintain your facial hair. Whether you keep clean-shaven or wear a full beard, be sure to keep it in check. Avoid letting your mustache move past your lip line. Own a brush or comb to tame your beard every morning. If you just keep some light stubble, have an electric razor and try to never go 4-5 days without a trim. Particularly if you're going for a "classic" look (picture how Ryan Gosling dresses), it will be an interesting combination in your socks, or the look of your watch's wristband which will really "wow" people. Even if you're reaching for a hip-hop aesthetic, or a punk-rock look, it will be the additions to your clothes which bring the outfit home.  There's a lot of options for watches.

Article in English: The most important step in the aftermath of the injury is to ice your hand as soon as possible. The cold temperature slows down the blood flow to the area, reducing any swelling or inflammation that could make the injury worse. The extreme cold will also numb the area, reducing how much pain your experience, as mentioned above. If you don’t have ice, any cold object will do. A bag of frozen vegetables from the freezer is just as good as an ice pack. Point your finger up toward the sky. Just like with the application of cold, the goal is to decrease the blood flow to the injured area to reduce swelling. As you’re icing your injury, keep both your hand and finger up in the air. If the most severe pain is in the palm, or if any of your joints are affected, you should seek expert medical attention as soon as possible. However, if you closed the door on the tip of the finger and didn’t injure your joints or your nail bed, the doctor may just advise that you rest your hand and wait it out. You can tell if the nail has become partially detached from the nail bed by looking for dark discoloration under the nail. This discoloration indicates that blood is pooling under the nail, and you need to contact a doctor for advice on how to proceed. If it’s just a small amount of blood, the injury might heal on its own. However, large amounts of blood can be painful, and might require action. The doctor may ask you to come in so he or she can release the pressure building up under the nail, or they may direct you to relieve the pressure yourself. The doctor should drain the hematoma if the collection of blood is less than 24 hours old. If more than 48 hours have passed, the blood has clotted and there is no use for draining.  Patients should have a neurovascular examination of the hand. Flexion and extension should be tested in all finger joints. Do not attempt to relieve the pressure without first consulting a medical professional. However, if a professional gives you to go-ahead, you can drain the nail bed by following his...

Article in English: The most important step of starting a journal is actually setting down the first entry. The notebook, the decoration, and the security are all just ways of making the journal feel like a safe space for you to write. Think about the sort of journal that you keep. Then, write what's on your mind.  Write about what happened today. Include where you went, what you did, and who you spoke to. Write about what you felt today. Pour your joys, your frustrations, and your goals into the journal. Use the act of writing as a way to explore your feelings. Consider keeping a dream journal.  Keep a learning log. Write about what you learned today. Use the journal as a way to explore and connect your thoughts.  Turn your experiences into art. Use the journal to write stories or poetry, to make sketches, and to plan out projects. Feel free to mix this in with your other entries. If you are going to keep a regular journal, then it's good to establish some way of tracking when you wrote what. Write the full date, or whatever you'll need to jog your memory: e.g. 2/4/2016 or Feb. 4, 2016. For a slightly more involved record, write the time of day (morning, afternoon, night), your mood, and/or your location. Log the date at the top of the page or the top of each entry. Try not to think too critically about what you're setting down. Let go of your doubts, and write your truth. The beauty of a journal is that you can tell the story that you don't usually people: the deep thoughts and feelings that lie behind your day-to-day decisions. Take the opportunity to explore yourself.  Imagine that you are talking to someone. Whether you are talking to a close friend or pouring your thoughts into a journal: you are putting them out into the world, and thus making them real. It can be hard to really get a grasp on what you're thinking until you make your thoughts real.  Use journaling as a healing tool. If there is something haunting you or bothering you, try to write about that thing and understand why exactly it has stuck on your mind. If...

Article in English: The most important way to make sure you keep your job is to have a strong relationship with your boss. You don’t need to be best friends with your boss, but you should have a friendly relationship that is based on mutual respect and strong communication. Though each boss has his or her own style, you should make sure to be friendly with your boss and receptive to what he or she has to say, and to show that you really care about him or her.  Though some bosses are much more private about their personal lives than others, if your boss is open about his interests or his family, then you can take the time to ask him about it when you’re making small talk. If you have issues with your job, take it up with your boss respectfully. Don’t complain to your coworkers instead, or you risk having that get back to you. When your other co-workers gossip about your boss, try to remove yourself from the situation. Another way to make sure you to keep your job is to show that you can play well with others. If you want to seem like an important part of your company, then you should be friendly with your co-workers, receptive to their ideas, and willing to openly collaborate and communicate with the people you work with. Even if you disagree occasionally, you should do so respectfully so that you seem like you can get along with anyone.  If you have a reputation for not being able to get along with other co-workers, then your boss will see that it’s hard to fit you into a team. However, if you’re the one making people laugh and feel good at the office, it’ll be hard to picture the office without you. Make an effort to attend office activities after work, such as happy hours, volunteering events, or team building activities. Though you don’t have to attend every event, you should make an effort to show that you do care about your co-workers outside the office. Steer clear of office gossip. You don’t want to get a reputation for talking about people behind their backs. One way to make sure you keep your job is to try to maintain a...

Article in English: The most logical place would appear to be a gym. This will help you keep your sanity and give you a purpose to your morning. Don't settle for the first gym you find. If you look around, you may find nearly deserted gyms in which you can shower and fully clean yourself without embarrassment. Remember: the people who can least afford to sport the disheveled look of a homeless person are those who are homeless, so try not to look the part!  Don't "let yourself go", as once descent starts, it is hard to pull out. Maintaining a well-kept appearance can only help you maintain a positive self-image during a time when it is being seriously challenged.  Gyms can be an expensive option. Many gyms range in cost from $35 a month to a more typical cost of $55 a week. This is pretty expensive just for a shower. Many councils, churches and support organisations have free showers. It can be a false economy to use a gym just for showers, particularly as there are many free ways to keep in shape without a gym. Try to remember the flip flops or water shoes as not to get a foot fungus and let the towel dry out in the car. Community or Recreation centers that have gyms and showers are a cheaper option than the nationwide chains. Many Rec or Community centers yearly memberships cost about the same as the monthly memberships at a national gym. You may not be able to store your items as safely in these places though. The next best choice is to check into an affordable caravan park one or two days a week. These usually range from about $18-$26 a night in Australia, possible more in the USA. You will have a spot to park your car, you can do laundry (usually an extra fee), fill up on water, have a shower and even pitch a tent if you have one. They usually have powered sites, so you can recharge your electrical devices or run a fan or heater.  Another option, though possibly more expensive, is to book into a cheap motel or hostel once or twice a week and clean up thoroughly there (if you can afford it). Swimming pools have showers,...

Article in English: The most popular use of the boned chicken is to stuff it with your favorite variety of stuffing, sew it up with kitchen twine, and bake it in the oven. For a basic recipe:   Mix up your favorite stuffing using old bread, celery, onions, sausage, sage, or whatever ingredients suit your fancy. Liberally salt the inside and the outside of the chicken, as well as using pepper and other spices to taste. Spoon the stuffing onto the inside of the chicken. Using a needle of a paper clip, sew up the bird with the stuffing inside. Begin at the neck end and draw the string through both skin and meat on both sides, taking care to make sure it won't pull loose as it cooks. Tie a knot at the end to hold both sides together, then sew your way down the seam. Alternatively, you could sew the bird up before stuffing it. After you've trussed it up, rub the outside with olive oil or butter and roast the chicken at 375 degrees F (190 C) for 20 minutes per pound of meat. A galantine is basically a boned and stuffed chicken that's either poached in some kind of stock, or roasted. Generally, the stuffing includes greens, herbs, and some kind of nuts. Either way, it's usually served with aspic and cut into slices, then served cold as part of a charcuterie plate. If it's summer time and you've got the grill going, an entirely boned-out chicken can be a cool alternative to individual bone-in pieces. You can cook the whole thing at once, turning it and basting it with barbecue sauce or beer as it cooks, then serve on buns. For a trick, weight the chicken down flat with a cast iron skillet, or other heavy-bottomed pan, to keep it grilling evenly. If you're going to go for broke in the boned-out meat department, you might as well go for broke. A turducken is a boned chicken, inside a boned duck, inside a boned turkey. If you've got a whole football team to feed, or you just love the fowl, it can be a fun and completely excessive project. Why not?

Article in English: The most surefire way of preventing an STD is to not engage in sexual behaviors. These behaviors include oral sex, vaginal sex, and anal sex.  Abstinence is a good choice for some people but is not realistic or desirable for many people, however. If abstinence is not an option, there are many ways to reduce your risk of infection. Note that abstinence-only education is usually less effective than more comprehensive forms of sex education. Even if you plan to be abstinent for a time, it is good to educate yourself about safe sex practices should you find yourself in that situation. The safest kind of sexual activity is sexual activity with only one partner as long as this partner also remains monogamous. Be sure that both you and your partner have been tested for STDs before having sex. If neither of you is infected and you both remain monogamous, your risk for infection is very low. The fewer sex partners you have, the lower your risk is for contracting an STD. You might also want to consider how many sex partners your own sex partners have had. The fewer people they have had sex with, the lower your risk of contracting an STD. Before having sex with someone, make sure they have been thoroughly screened by a doctor for STDs. Most STDs can be tested for, and many of these can be treated. If your partner tests positive for an STD, refrain from having sex until after his treatment. You can resume sexual activity with a partner after his doctor says that it is safe to do so.  If your partner says they have been tested, ask for which diseases. Often people are only checked for gonorrhea and chlamydia, not HIV, hepatitis, or herpes. Be aware that the Human Papilloma Virus (or HPV) cannot be tested for in men. Communication is key when it comes to protecting yourself against an STD. Be open about your own sexual health and history, and make sure that your sexual partners show you the same respect. Do not have sex with someone who is uncommunicative or angry about sexual health discussions: safe sex requires the...

Article in English: The most up to date estimate suggests that over 70,000 different species of algae exist, and potentially many more species yet to be classified. We use these different types of algae for a host of reasons. Many species of algae are used to produce biofuels to power electrical components. Other types of algae, such as spirulina, are used as a food source. Sometimes, algae is grown in a classroom setting as a science experiment. Your intended use will decide what kind of algae you should grow.  For example, spirulina would be a good choice if you want to grow algae to supplement your diet. Spirogyra plants are sometimes used in science fair projects. For a basic experiment, you can just use any sample of algae, grow it, and observe it. If you are looking at algal behavior in general, you can just collect an algae sample from any pond, lake, or other natural sources. That said, many different types of algae are found in nature. If you are investigating a particular type, you might want to be more careful about where you get a sample. In this case, you should order your specific algae sample or algae starter from an algaculture supply company, or online.  For example, many people are interested in growing a type of algae called spirulina. Because spirulina is often eaten, you should get your sample from a reputable company. If you are growing algae for a classroom experiment, collecting any sample from a local pond or lake is usually sufficient. Once you have selected an algae to grow, simply put the sample into your growing medium. Make sure that the appropriate amount of light is still available. Allow the algae time to grow.  Often, a few weeks may pass before you can see the algae in the container. This is because many species of algae (referred to as microalgae) cannot be seen by the naked eye individually. They must reproduce and generate a high algal population to be visible to the human eye. If you are growing a macroalgae species, such as kelp, you will be able to see it.

Article in English: The mulch will help keep the soil moist, prevent weeds from growing, and protect the plants from rodents. After planting, add a 3-inch (7.6-cm) layer of mulch to the top of the garden bed around the hostas. Ideal mulch for hostas includes shredded bark, pine needles, or mulched leaves. Soak the soil after you plant the hostas. Keep the soil evenly and consistently moist throughout the life of the plants. Hostas that are exposed to lots of sunlight need even more water to prevent burning. Give the hostas about an inch (2.5 cm) of water per week during active growing phases in spring and summer. Hostas will enter a dormant state in fall and winter, meaning they won’t grow and won’t require as many nutrients. When fall arrives, prune the hostas by trimming off dead or yellow leaves. Dying leaves can still suck nutrients from a plant, so you can help the hostas conserve energy for winter by removing these leaves in fall. Hostas are hardy plants and will survive the winter, but they’ll have a better chance of thriving if you prepare them for the colder months. After the ground freezes, cover the ground around the hostas with fallen leaves, and pack more leaves around the crowns of the plants.   Leave the hostas packed and covered with leaves until after the last frost in spring. Covering the plants with organic matter will also help maintain the soil temperature and moisture level.

Article in English: The negative energy of an envious person can cause physical symptoms that are not related to a disease, such as weakness, eye infections, upset stomach, fever and nausea. Also, it is likely that the affected person will have personal, family or professional problems without any apparent cause. This method is practiced in Eastern Europe. Simply drop a piece of charcoal into a pan of water. You can also use the head of a match that has burned. Sinking is a good sign, while floating means a person or child has been affected. Usually a parent or healer performs these rituals, if the sufferer is a child. If not, the sufferer can perform them. Another method is to drip hot wax into holy water. Watch how the wax reacts. If it splatters, it means you or the child you are testing for have the evil eye. The same is true if it sticks to the side. People in the Ukraine employ this method. With this method, the person diagnosing the condition drops oil into water. If it forms an eye, the child is thought to have the evil eye. Another way is to pour oil over a lock of the affected person's hair into a glass of water (preferably holy water). If the oil sinks, then the person has the evil eye.  In turn, special prayers are said until the oil doesn't form an eye to cure it. The person dropping the oil is praying for the evil eye to leave the person. Some suggest there are special prayers for this process, which you can learn from a local healer.

Article in English: The next time you're around each guy, make an effort to really engage him and to think about what it is you like about him so much. Though you can't always pin down the complicated feelings that make you like a person, it's important to have as much information as possible when you make such an important decision. Ask yourself the following questions when you talk to each guy:  Does he make me laugh? Does he have a good sense of humor? We're all attracted to people who can make us laugh. Guys with a good sense of humor make us excited and cause us to look at the world in a different way. If he tickles you, is it weird or do you like it? No guy should touch you in the obvious places unless you are ready for that, but like a hug around the waist, holding hands, or even his arm around you is okay, but if you're at the stage where he is going to kiss you and you kiss him back, make sure that you are ready to be at that stage. When he kisses you, be sure you know how to kiss. You don't want it to be awkward. The guy you are going to choose needs to be able to restrain himself. Does he seem curious about other people? Is he interested in things outside himself? Guys who are only interested in themselves can be pretty boring. You'll want a guy who has hobbies, friends, and a good perspective on life. Is he in touch with his emotional side? Is he sensitive about other people? Lots of guys have an emotional side; the problem is they don't want other people to see it. A guy who's okay with other people seeing his emotions is a guy who's both confident and mature. Does he flirt respectfully? Basically, the ask question boils down to this: Does it seem like he likes you for more than just your body or just your looks? Are the compliments he gives you more than just about your body? Does he take things slow? Guys who take things slowly like to savor things. They care about getting every last drop of enjoyment out of being around you.

Article in English: The number of calories you need will depend on how old you are, how much you weigh, and how active you are. Here are some general guidelines:  Teenage boys ages 11-13 need an average of 1,800 to 2,600 calories per day. Teenage boys ages 14-18 need an average of 2,200 to 3,200 calories per day. Teenage girls ages 11-13 need an average of 1,800 to 2,200 calories per day. Teenage girls ages 14-18 need an average of 1,800 to 2,400 calories per day.  Teens involved in strenuous sports need more calories than the average teen.  Check out the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ recommendations at https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/wecan/downloads/calreqtips.pdf. Complex carbohydrates give you energy and help with digestion. Whether you want to lose weight, stay in shape, or bulk up, you should be eating plenty of complex carbs (about 50-60% of your diet.) The best sources of complex carbs are:   Fruits (which are especially good for busy, on-the-go teens, because fruits like apples, oranges, pears, and bananas are so portable) starchy vegetables (such as potatoes and corn) Green vegetables Wholegrains Beans Legumes (such as peas, soy, and peanuts). Less than 30% of your diet should be fats, but you have to stick to the good kind. (Don’t be fooled by fast food and sweets. Those kind of fats aren’t good for you.)  Fats help absorb important vitamins, including A, D, E, and K, all of which you need to stay fit and healthy.  The best fats are unsaturated. They are found in foods such as olives, peanuts, cashews, avocado, walnuts, salmon, and anchovies. Busy teens may want to ask their parents to stock up on packets of nuts as a great portable snack full of lots of good fat. Particularly if you’re trying to bulk up, you may want to include some saturated fats (like milk and red meat)  in your diet. Though too many can lead to heart disease, they’re generally okay in moderation.  If you’re trying to lose weight, you may want to stay away from this kind of fat.  Trans fats are the bad ones.

Article in English: The number of photographs can usually be determined by the intended purpose, size, and design of your collage.  A small, personal collage meant to serve as a decoration or gift should usually be somewhat small, consisting of 10 pictures or less. A larger collage with a simple design can include anywhere from one to two dozen photographs. A larger collage with a more complex design will usually need many photographs. In general, the more complex the picture or design you intend to create, the more photographs you will need in order to create it. A good photo collage will use high-quality photographs. Weed out any photographs that seem blurry, as well as any that show red-eye or those with major imperfections in the film. Note that some imperfections can be corrected digitally. If you have a photo that you really want to include that has a minor imperfection on it, consider correcting it digitally to determine if it can still be salvaged. Since most photographs can be enlarged or shrunk to size, this usually presents little problem. You should consider what may happen to the quality of the photo after altering it, though.  A large, detailed photograph may lose some of that detail if you shrink it down too much. Conversely, a small photograph may become blurry if enlarged too greatly. Shape and orientation also plays a role in photo selection. Many collages include a mix of vertical and horizontal photos, but you should consider the balance between these orientations when choosing your pictures. Choose more photos than you will need. Among the photographs you choose, separate the ones you intend to use from those that can be used if necessary. As you arrange your photographs, you may notice that a certain photo does not fit the theme or appearance as well as you initially thought it would. This is a good time to rummage through these extra “back-up” photographs for an option that can replace it.

Article in English: The objective of the game is to conquer the world by controlling all of the countries on the board. You do this by attacking other players and taking over new territories on the board. All the while, you need to make sure that your own territories are well-defended. Before you start your game, make sure that you have all of the game components. The game of Risk comes with a foldable game board, a set of 72 cards, and various army tokens.  The Risk board has 6 continents — North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Australian Archipelago — and 42 countries. The Risk armies come in six basic colors, along with different kinds of tokens, denoting size of the army. Each set has Infantry (which represents 1 “army”), Cavalry (5 armies), and Artillery (10 armies). A pack of 56 Risk cards should be included. 42 cards are marked with countries as well as an infantry, cavalry, or artillery symbol. There are two "Wild" cards, and 12 "Mission" cards that come with the Secret Mission Risk variant. There should be five dice (three red and two white). Before you get started, figure out how many people will be playing the game. The total amount of armies you start the game with depends on how many players there are:  6 players - 20 armies each 5 players - 25 armies each 4 players - 30 armies each 3 players - 35 armies each 2 players - 40 armies each (this varies between editions) This will determine the starting points for all players. Each territory must have one “army” in it at all times.  There are two ways to determine the initial territories:  Have each player roll a die (Standard Rules).  The player that rolled the highest value will choose an open territory and place one soldier in it. Moving clock-wise, each player will select an open territory until all territories are occupied. Once players have claimed all the 42 territories on the board, players place their remaining armies onto territories they already claim in any order they choose. Deal out the deck of cards (Alternate Rules).  Deal out the...

Article in English: The occasional weight plateau is normal and should be expected when you're trying to lose large amounts of weight.  As you shed more and more weight and you continue to exercise, your body readjusts.  This sometimes results in a few days or weeks where your weight doesn't budge on the scale.  Track your weight stalls.  This is important because if you don't resume losing weight, you'll need to reevaluate your diet, exercise program and other lifestyle behaviors to make sure they're still conducive to weight loss. If you notice a weight stall and you're still on track with diet and exercise, don't stress.  Trust yourself and continue with your plan.  Remember, weight plateaus are normal and are to be expected.  Do not give up or try new fad diets to make yourself lose weight.  Stick to your plan. Keeping a food journal doesn't just help you stay on track and support your weight loss, it's also a good tool to help reevaluate your progress or overcome a weight stall.  Keep an eye out for extra snacks or indulgences.  Even though you might not be doing this everyday, even a few times a week of an extra snack or treat could slow your weight loss or cause a plateau. Watch your recorded portions.  Portion sizes that slowly get a little too big — maybe from guessing — can also cause your weight to plateau. Also make sure you're eating enough.  Skimping too much on calories or portions may also be slowing your weight loss.  A diet that's too low in calories and nutrients is not a good support to weight loss and may be displayed as a stall. If a weight plateau is driving you nuts or making you nervous, try switching up your routine.  Try adding in more or different types of exercise to help jumpstart your weight loss again. Try different cardio programs like HIIT or circuit training which burn a lot of calories.  You can also increase or start strength training to help increase your baseline metabolism.

Article in English: The oil will permeate and loosen the surface of the paint, hopefully making it possible to remove the remainder of the stain. Use a cotton swab or cloth to dab it in. Try to get as little of the oil as possible on the leather. Alternatively, baby and other cooking oils can be used. Blot with a dry towel to remove the paint after treated with oil. Apply oil repeatedly as necessary, taking care to blot between applications to remove any paint that the olive oil has dislodged. Dab the swab treated with oil on a paper towel to remove paint that accumulates on it between treatments. To clean the oil off the leather, you should rub it down with leather cleaner or soapy cloth. Use mild soap, like hand soap, to limit damage to the surface. Don’t leave any water on the leather. Dab the surface with a dry towel to remove any remaining moisture.

Article in English: The oldest tried and true method of softening jeans is simply wearing them and letting the fibers stretch and soften. When you first buy jeans, wear them every day or at least as often as you can. They’ll soften up faster if you wear them for a week straight than if you wear them once a week. While the jeans will soften with normal wear, biking achieves an exaggerated effect. The constant bending and stretching motion that riding a bike requires puts extra stress on the jeans, breaking them in faster. Spend a half hour or more riding in your new jeans to jump start their softening. Put the jeans on and stretch one of your legs out in front of you as far as you can. Then lower your other knee to the ground. Stand back up and do the same thing with the opposite leg. Repeat this process at least a handful of times to break the jeans in quickly. Washing denim tends to tighten up the fibers that you’ve stretched out with wear. For occasions when you don’t get the jeans filthy, washing them every 5-10 times of wearing them is sufficient. You’ll have to judge for yourself if they are actually dirty and ready to be washed.

Article in English: The olive oil will absorb best into a clean surface. If your plastic object is dirty, wash it with soap and warm water. Dry it off with a towel before restoring it to prevent the olive oil from slipping off. Olive oil can restore black plastic's natural color, clearing up any faded or discolored areas. Add a small, coin-sized dab of olive oil to a washcloth or paper towel—a little goes a long way, and you can always add more later as needed. Baby oil or linseed oil can also work as an alternative. Rub the washcloth or paper towel back and forth on the targeted area. Continue rubbing the area for several minutes to help the plastic absorb the olive oil. To avoid getting olive oil on nearby objects, cover them with a tarp or towel. After rubbing the olive oil for a few minutes, take a dry washcloth and wipe the plastic in circular motions. Apply heavy pressure as you do so to get rid of the olive oil grease and give the plastic an extra shine. If you can't find another cloth, use the part of the first paper towel or wash cloth that isn't oily. When you've removed the olive oil, check the plastic object's color for any remaining damage. If you notice any patches that the olive oil didn't restore, try the process again with more oil while directly targeting the stubborn area. For severe fading or discoloration, you may need to spray paint the plastic black. Like olive oil, black plastic moisturizers restore car trims and bumpers by adding moisture to their surface. If you would prefer to use a product made specifically for cars, you can apply most black plastic moisturizers in a similar way that you would olive oil.  You can buy car trim moisturizers at most automotive stores. Read its specific instructions carefully before applying the object. If you are trying to restore black plastic that isn't part of your car, you can still try a moisturizer on your object.

Article in English: The only difference between the double-leg takedown in mixed martial arts and in wrestling is the set-up. Without the right set-up for the maneuver, shooting in for a takedown of this sort in MMA can get you choked out quickly, because of the variety of strikes, chokes, and other defensive maneuvers available. For this reason, setting up your opponent for a double-leg takedown is almost more important than the maneuver itself. If you shoot in from too far away and drop to your knee with your head in your opponent's armpit, you might as well wear a sign that says, "Hey, guillotine-choke me!" You've got to use this move in tandem with set-ups to get your opponents arms out of the way and get them to the ground before a strike is possible. One of the most straight-forward and common ways of trying to set up the double-leg takedown is by striking at the head with jabs to draw your opponent's arms up into a defensive position, then shooting in for the takedown. While this still leaves you open to a knee or to a choke, you can get past your opponent's guard if you do it quick enough. Alternatively, faking a double-leg is sometimes a good way of dropping your opponent's arms to open up for strike attacks. One of the best ways of defending a quick wrestling-style shoot for a takedown is with a hard knee strike to the head. It's a quick way to end the match and a devastating strike. Since you know this, you can try to draw out a premature knee by juking in as if you're about to shoot, but pulling up short. Practice half-shoots, in which you fake a shoot from far away, keeping your eye on your opponent's knee the whole time, to make sure you come up short when it's thrown. As soon as you see it up in the air, shoot back in to finish off the job. Your opponent will already be off-balance with one leg in the air. Shooting in for a double is usually best after you've worn each other down some, and your opponent is grabbing for your shoulders, rather than striking out. A quick chop upward with your hands, striking your...

Article in English: The only way to legitimately get Latias in your FireRed game is to trade from Sapphire, Ruby, or Emerald. Latias cannot be caught in the wild in FireRed unless you enter a cheat code using a CodeBreaker cheat device, or an emulator. It is easiest to catch Latias in Sapphire and Emerald. In Ruby, you'll need an event ticket that is no longer available.   To catch Latias in Sapphire or Emerald, you'll need to defeat the Elite Four first. After defeating the Elite Four, you'll need to track Latias down, which can take a long time since it appears randomly across the map. Once you've tracked down Latias, use your Master Ball to capture it, or whittle its health down and use Ultra Balls. See this guide for detailed instructions on catching Latias in Sapphire, and here for instructions in Emerald. If you're going to be trading for someone's Latias, you're going to need to be able to offer something equally rare in return. Legendaries like Rayquaza, Groudon, Kyogre, Deoxys and Mew all make good trading stock. You can also offer to trade a full team of well-trained Pokémon in exchange for the one Latias. Before you can trade Pokémon from Sapphire, Ruby, or Emerald, you'll need to defeat the Elite Four in FireRed. After defeating the Elite Four, you'll need to get the Ruby from Mt. Ember, the Sapphire from Ruin Valley, and the Sapphire in Five Island Meadow. You'll need two Gameboy Advance (GBA) consoles in order to trade between the games. You cannot use Nintendo DSs to perform the trade.  You can connect the two GBA devices using a GBA Link Cable, or by using the GBA Wireless Adapter for each GBA. You can initiate the trade by stalking with the person on the right when you enter the Pokémon Center.

Article in English: The only way to move forward without guilt is to stop cheating. Being in two relationships is unfair to both the person you are cheating on and the person you are cheating with. Decide who you want to be with and walk away from the secondary relationship. For example, if you have fallen in love with someone else and no longer like your boyfriend, end that relationship and commit to the new person. If you regret cheating on your spouse and want to strengthen your marriage, stop seeing the new person altogether. If your partner doesn't already know about the cheating, don't assume telling will make you (or them) feel better. Confessions of infidelity introduce immense pain, distrust, and insecurity into the relationship. Weigh the pros and cons before telling your partner about the cheating.  You should definitely confess if your cheating involved unprotected sex that compromises your original partner’s health. You should also tell if there is a likelihood of your partner finding out from another source. Ultimately, telling the truth is the best choice if you want to save the relationship. Keep in mind that not confessing further undermines your partner's ability to trust you. Regardless of whom you decide to be with, make an oath to be faithful and straightforward with your partner(s) in the future. If you prefer not to be in a monogamous relationship, everyone involved should be on board.  If your partner knows about the cheating and chooses to give you another chance, you might perform a symbolic "recommitment" ritual to demonstrate that you plan to be faithful from now on. Don't expect automatic forgiveness—put in extra effort to show that you can be trusted in the future. This might involve being straightforward about your movements when you're away from your partner or even granting them access to your phone or email. Even though you did your partner wrong, you should not accept abuse or mistreatment simply to gain their forgiveness. How can you use this experience as a growth opportunity? Reflect on how...

Article in English: The only way you can reach self-actualization is to envision what your actualized self will look like. Connecting with your future self is an important step in reaching personal goals. Two ways you can connect with your future self are:  Creating a vision board. Prepare a collage – either online or with photos and paper – that sums up the future self you hope to become. Browse through magazine or online galleries and search for pictures and phrases that represent the person you envision yourself becoming. Paste all these images and words together to create a larger image depicting your future self. Writing a letter. Another powerful way to forge a connection with your future self is with a “Dear Future Me” letter. Write in detail about all the things you are proud of or inspired by about your future self. Go on to tell exactly HOW and WHY your future self reached these successes. Once you have a general idea of where you want to end up you need to go back to the drawing board and figure out how to get there. Pinpointing your personal values can give insight on what drives your decisions, beliefs, and ideas. Think of your values as a road map directing you to your future self. Identify your values by doing the following:  Think of two people you admire. What characteristics describe them? If you could change something about your local community or the world in general, what would it be? If your house was on fire, what three things would you take with you? When was the last time you felt really accomplished? Describe the moment and why you felt this way. Which topics do you stand up for or get really riled up about? Why do these topics get you going? Once you have considered these questions/statements, look for themes in your answers. Any recurring themes may shed light on your values. After you have performed an analysis of your values, compare these to your future self. Do your current values coincide with the life you hope to someday lead? Now, reflect on your everyday behaviors, beliefs, and principles. Do...

Article in English: The options are endless. You could pick nickname that reflects a funny habit of his, or one that’s hilariously mismatched.  If your boyfriend is has an intense obsession with Star Wars, call him Chewbacca. If your boyfriend is a super tall, call him Tiny. Playful banter is flirty and fun. Make fun of one of his quirks, do a light-hearted imitation, or give him a backhanded compliment. Keep the teasing gentle and fun. His insecurities shouldn’t be the subject of your jokes. Stop right away if he looks upset or asks you to stop. Hurt feelings are certainly not funny.  Say something like, “Wow, you’re not so bad at cooking for someone who lives on Ramen noodles.” If he has a crazy laugh, do your best impression. Make your weirdest faces and snap a ton of selfies. Try to recreate famous photos or paintings, or use Snapchat filters to make your photos even more bizarre. Then, look through them together and appreciate your silliness. Send your boyfriend one of these goofy photos a few weeks later with a text like, “Why are we so attractive?” Put on the scene, turn down the volume, and do your own interpretations of the dialogue. Don’t be afraid to be ridiculous--the sillier, the better.  For a hilarious contrast, do goofy dialogue for a super intense romantic scene. Use foreign accents to spice up your scene. Grab his hat off his head, swipe a shoe, or snatch a cookie off his plate. Give him a playful smile, and dash away. Use furniture for cover as you dodge him.

Article in English: The packaging on the hook should say the maximum load capacity. Don't use a hook that's not meant to hold the weight of the bike or it could pull out of the wall. You can find bike hooks at your local hardware store. Use a bathroom scale to figure out the weight of the bike if you're unsure. Weigh just yourself on the scale, and then weigh yourself on the scale while holding the bike. Subtract your weight from the weight of you plus the bike - the number you're left with is how much your bike weighs. You can get a stud finder at your local hardware store. Place the stud finder on the wall and slowly move it across the wall until it indicates that a stud has been found. Usually stud finders light up or make a beeping sound when they’re over a stud. Read the instructions that came with your stud finder for specific directions on using it. Measure from the furthest tip of the front tire to the furthest tip of the back tire. Make sure it's somewhere along the stud you found. Because the bike will be hung vertically, make sure the distance between the floor and the bike hook is greater than the length of the bike. Make sure the hole is deep enough that the entire screw end of the bike hook can fit into it. Insert the screw end of the bike hook into the hole and continue turning the hook clockwise until it won’t turn anymore. You want the hook itself to be parallel with the floor. Place the front tire of the bike on the hook so that the tires are touching the wall and the seat of the bike is facing outward, away from the wall.

Article in English: The pears with the reddish-orange or purple skin and deep purple interiors are considered to be the sweetest, but the white-skinned varieties are more popular in Mexico. Store-bought prickly pears are usually spine-free and sometimes can be handled with your bare hands. Unprocessed pears still have glochids that will drive you crazy if you get some on your skin. Just to be sure, always use tongs or at least a plastic bag as a glove. If you're foraging for prickly pears, remember that while all pears are edible, only a few will actually be ripe and taste good. Get them when they are bright purple and look like rat food, just before starting to wrinkle. Place the pears in a plastic colander five or six at a time under cold water. Swirl the pears around for about three or four minutes not bruising them. Doing this washes all the fine blond hairs away, now you can handle them prickly free. All the hairs gone slice off the thicker skin at both ends of the prickly pear (the bottom and the top). It takes a little practice to know how much to slice off. Generally, you want to take off the skin without getting at the seed-filled center. Cut lengthwise along the pear's top-bottom centerline just through the skin. Using that slit, use the knife to lever the skin and peel it off of the rest of the pear. The flesh of the prickly pear can be used to make jam, jelly, sorbet, wine, and "cactus candy." The seeds can be consumed with the fruit (but be careful not to bite into them, as they're quite hard) or spit out. Some people eat the seeds in soup or dry them to be ground into flour.

Article in English: The pebbles should be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) big in diameter. The layer of pebbles should cover 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) in the bottom of your pot. You can find these at most gardening centers. This plant likes well-drained soil, and the pebbles will help with that. This plant also prefers a soil that is aerated. The soil should be 1 part peat, 1 part pine bark, and 1 part sand or perlite. You should be able to buy all of these ingredients at your local gardening store.  If you don't want to make your own mix, look for a potting soil that has the same ratio, or one meant for foliage plants.  Outside, the plant will do well in most soils, though a slightly acidic soil may be best. This plant thrives in temperatures of 60 to 75 °F (16 to 24 °C), so pick a temperate corner for your plant. It doesn't do well with the cold, so try to pick an area that isn't susceptible to drafts. Don't go below 55 °F (13 °C) for this plant. Direct sunlight is usually too much for this plant. Instead, stick it near a window that has a sheer curtain. That way, it still gets sunlight but not too much sunlight. Outside, try it in a shady area, where it will still get indirect light. You could also place it in a room that gets a lot of ambient sunlight without it directly hitting the plant. In the United States, this plant grows best in hardiness zones 10 and 11. It can grow in zone 9 if you provide it with some wind protection with a wall. It will not tolerate temperatures below freezing or above 115 °F (46 °C). You can find a map of US hardiness zones at http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/. Rubber trees need to be protected from the wind. Place it near a wall to protect it. For the most protection, determine the direction the wind in your area commonly blows, and place it so it is blocked from that wind. For instance, in the southern areas of the US, the wind typically blows from the south or west, so place the tree on the north or east side of the building.

Article in English: The person could be your partner, someone you are dating, or someone you are having sex with. Ask them if they have time to have a conversation, and find a time that works for both of you.  Talk before the heat of the moment; it will be easier to express yourself clearly when you are clear headed.   This conversation may end up clearing up tension between you two. Perhaps your partner has also wanted to talk to you about sex. The space should be comfortable and free from distractions. Turn off any televisions or computers that you are watching. Put away your phone and put your full attention on the conversation. Your partner should respect the fact that you want to be responsible and communicate about sex. It will ultimately improve your relationship if you are good communicators about sex.  You can start by asking them about how they feel about your sex life. You want them to know that their feelings matter and that you are interested in hearing them out. Explain that this conversation is not a rejection. You may also want to explain that this conversation is not a negotiation of what you will do sexually. Explain that this conversation should be a mutual exchange of boundaries, solutions and communication needs. Do not be embarrassed about using sex vocabulary with your partner to talk about sex. You can laugh about it, but the communication is the important part. So push through the awkwardness and say what you need to say about your boundaries. You can ask the person to wait for a yes before going further when you are being physical. Also, tell the person to wait before acting after they ask. Adding this element of communication to your physical relationship can also make the intimacy more exciting as well as safe.   Ask them if they have any suggestions for ways that you can respect each others' boundaries. If this person is your partner, you can tell them the things you appreciate about them physically or that you like about your physical relationship. This will help them feel better about the...

Article in English: The person may pause slightly before saying it or drawing out the syllables. The stressed word usually exaggerates that you mean the opposite of what you're saying. For example, they're probably being sarcastic if they say, "I got this gorgeous olive and orange sweater for my birthday." If the person has been animated, they might drop their pitch and deliver the sarcastic statement in a monotone voice. If the delivery is completely without expression, it's sometimes called "deadpan." For example, they might respond to someone else's excitement by stating, "yay," in a low, bland tone. Although many people deliver sarcastic phrases in a monotone voice, others make their pitch higher and feign excitement when emphasizing a word. Remember to pay attention to context. They're probably being sarcastic if they're getting excited about something that's not interesting. For example, they might say, "I can't believe you're asking me out if your other date falls through! I'm so lucky!" Sarcasm can be delivered in a few different ways. The person might be sarcastic if they give a heavy sigh and then make their statement. They could also be sarcastic if they're quietly muttering, especially if they're difficult to hear. If the person sighs heavily, they may want you to recognize that they're being sarcastic.

Article in English: The person you have a crush on will likely love a guy that is solemn, and a little nervous.  After all, you want a great person, and they should be able to tell that you really care if they accept, and that you don't feel entitled when asking them out.

Showing them they are always on your mind ups the cute factor tremendously. If you guys are getting closer, you can rest your hand on their leg, or hold their hand. Little moments like this show intimacy, as well as a commitment to show them you love them in public.

Article in English: The point will not be on the given line, and can be above or below it. Label the line m{\displaystyle m} and the point A{\displaystyle A}. To do this, place the compass tip on point A{\displaystyle A}. Open the compass so that it is wide enough to reach beyond line m{\displaystyle m}, then draw an arc that sweeps across the line at points B{\displaystyle B} and C{\displaystyle C}. To do this, open the compass a little wider. Set the compass tip on point B{\displaystyle B}, and draw an arc that sweeps directly across from point A{\displaystyle A}.  If the given point is above the line, you should draw this arc below the line. If the given point is below the line, you should draw this arc above the line. The arc does not have to be very long, as long as part of it falls directly under the given point. To do this, keep the compass set to the same width. Set the compass tip on point C{\displaystyle C} and draw an arc that intersects the previous small arc. Label this point D{\displaystyle D} Label this line line n{\displaystyle n}. Line n{\displaystyle n} is perpendicular to line m{\displaystyle m} through points A{\displaystyle A} and D{\displaystyle D}. Remember, a perpendicular line is a line that creates a 90 degree angle.

Article in English: The pot will make the stem and the drain plate will make the cap. The plate needs to be a 3 to 5 inches (7.62 to 12.7 centimeters) wider than the pot, so don't choose the matching size—go a few sizes larger. If you need to apply more coats, let each coat dry before applying the next. It will take about 15 to 20 minutes for the paint to dry enough for a second coat. You do not need to paint the bottom of the pot. Flip the plate over so that the back is facing you. Spray paint it a bright, contrasting color. Red is the most popular choice, but you can also do pink, purple, or even turquoise. Once again, if you need to do more than one coat, let the paint dry first. The top part of the plate won't be visible so you don't have to paint it. You can paint the spots on using a paintbrush or a round, foam pouncer. You may need 2 to 3 coats of paint for this. If this is the case, allow each coat to dry first. Just because the paint feel dry doesn't mean it is ready to be sealed; some types of paint require curing times as well. Check the label for more complete drying times as each brand is different. Once the paint is dry, give the pot and plate a few coats of a clear sealer.  Choose a clear, outdoor sealer in either glossy or matte. Allow the sealer to fully dry and cure. Turn the pot upside down so that the bottom is sticking up. Coat it with epoxy or waterproof outdoor glue. Place the plate, painted side up, down on top of it. Make sure that it is centered. This can take a few hours to several days. When moving you mushroom, hold it by the stem—do not grab it by the cap.

Article in English: The precise amount of salt you need varies depending on the size of your pan. Sprinkle salt to the point the surface of the cast iron is covered in a somewhat thick layer. For example, about half a cup of salt would be used for a 12 inch cast iron pan. Cut a potato in half. The potato will be coarse enough to rub away rust as you rub the salt into the cast iron. Place it on the cast iron cut side down and scrub the salt in to remove rust.  Use a great deal of pressure as this will help scrape off the rust. Rub the potato in a circular motion. If you're scrubbing something like a pot or pan, do not forget the sides and bottom. Once you've scraped away the rust, rinse your pan under the faucet. Get out any remaining traces of salt and potato. Immediately pat dry your pan with paper towel. Then, place your pan on the stove over low heat. This will help get rid of any lingering moisture. It's very important to dry your pan off immediately. Water causes rust with cast iron pans, and if you leave your pan wet it will just get rusty again. Unfortunately, removing rust removes the seasoning of a cast iron pan. After treating it with salt, apply a small amount of vegetable or olive to the pan using a paper towel. Then, take a clean paper towel and remove any excess oil. Place your pan over low heat for about 30 minutes. This should re-season the pan. Blot off any excess oil after removing your pan from the heat and storing it.

Article in English: The predominant color is your room's main color, so take some time to think about how you want the room to look. This color will likely end up on your walls. You may also want to find furniture and decorations that contain this color in order to emphasize a consistent color theme.  Since the walls are the biggest color canvas in a room, starting there is easiest but not mandatory. If your predominant color is very bright, for example, you might buy accessories in that color, then paint your walls to complement it. Pick out colors that capture your attention. Any item, such as a favorite coffee mug or blanket, can provide you with colors to use. Find a couple of colors that go well with the predominant color you chose. You can make a cohesive room out of just about any combination of colors, so let your imagination run wild. Complementary colors create harmony, but opposing colors can accentuate your predominant color.  For example, red and yellow pair well together, but you could paint your walls a light blue color to draw attention to a striking red decoration. Try looking up a color wheel to see which colors complement and contrast one another. Paint supply stores will have swatch books you can use for this purpose. If your predominant color is bold, then choose muted accent colors to complement it or balance it out. For example, if your main color is a bold pink, your accent colors could be muted orange and white or shades of light grey and white. A room that is painted a singular shade of blue looks consistent but boring. To break up the monotony, find ways to incorporate different shades. You could paint the wall 1 shade, then paint the doors another shade, for example. If you can’t find a shade you like, remember that you can mix your own paint. Many paint suppliers will do this for you. Add white to a color to lighten it or add gray to a color to darken it. When choosing colors, work with the room’s architecture. Items such as doorways, molding, and built-in bookshelves are difficult and costly to...

Article in English: The premise of this strategy is simple: you'll need bait to attract the cockroaches, and adhesive to keep them there. This trap can be difficult to move once you have set it, but it is a simple trick, and you may yield a high reward for relatively little effort. You can also find adhesive-based traps, if you prefer to buy them. Look at home-and-garden stores, or ask your local exterminators for advice. Make sure that the tape is fresh and sticky – otherwise the roaches may be able to easily struggle out and escape. You can use alternatives to duct tape, but make sure that they are powerfully adhesive. Scotch tape will not do, nor masking tape; your trap must be able to hold the cockroaches until you are able to remove them from your home. Anything with a powerfully sweet or oily smell will work. Onion is a common choice, although you can use anything fragrant. Try using small strip of fresh banana peel or sweet, overripe fruit. Consider using a small piece of bread. If you have noticed the cockroaches in your house being particularly attracted to any given food item, try using that as bait.  If you wish to outright kill the cockroaches, you can buy gel baits spiked with active ingredients that poison the insects. Bear in mind, however, that these are not always attractive to roaches, and that they may not be as effective as advertised. Contact a local home-and-garden store or pest-control center. Make sure to only use a small portion of your chosen bait. If the bait spills over the edge of the tape, there will be little motivation for cockroaches to get themselves stuck. Slice the onion, fruit, or other food into a small but substantial chunk. Place the fruit, onion, bread, etc. in the middle of a length of your sticky tape. Make sure that it is stable, and that it will not fall over. Leave the tape in an area where you've been finding a lot of cockroaches: a kitchen, perhaps, or a dark corner, or near a hole in the wall. Bear in mind that you will need to decide what to do with these cockroaches afterward –...
