Article in English: Most people can only focus on a task for up to 90 minutes at a time. No matter if you are a student, you work in an office, or even if you own your own business, you need to allow time for your mind to regroup and recharge. Find a rhythm that works for you. For example, you might try working for 1 hour and then resting for 5-10 minutes, rather than pushing yourself for 90 minutes. Or, you might find that you're able to get a lot done in 2-hour chunks and recharge for 15-20 minutes. Think about why it is you want to work smarter instead of harder. Do you want to spend more time with your family? Invest more energy for a side-hustle? Leave space in your schedule for a hobby? Use that to motivate yourself when you feel like procrastinating. Try putting a photo of what motivates you where you can see it throughout the day. Working yourself to a frazzle constantly makes you prone to mistakes. When you're so tired that you realize it's taking you twice or three times longer to do a job than normal, call it a day. Rest at least a few hours at the end of the day. If you need to and are able to, take power naps during the day to recharge. If you've been working hard on a project for a really long time, it can be easy to convince yourself that there's another finishing touch to add or another round of edits to do. At a certain point, recognize that you've done good work and it's time to move on to something else. Remind yourself that nothing is ever perfect. Get around 7-8 hours of sleep at night. Get at least 20 minutes of exercise every day. Spend time doing something you love, like playing a sport or cultivating a creative hobby. Taking care of yourself outside of work will help you become less stressed.  Meditation can also help if you have a stressful job.

Summary in Russian:

Делайте перерывы, чтобы восстанавливать силы. Мотивируйте себя работать ради важной цели. Замечайте признаки выгорания. Лучше просто выполнить задачу, чем бесконечно продолжать доводить проект до совершенства. Создавайте и поддерживайте полезные привычки, чтобы снизить уровень стресса в жизни.


Article in English: Most people enjoy being around others who are confident and comfortable in their own skin. Having confidence in yourself can make you all the more irresistible to any person you may want to attract.  Avoid being arrogant or pretentious. This trait can detract from your irresistibility. Remain yourself: calm, cool, and collected.  For example, if you’re an excellent photographer, you can say something like “I’m a really avid amateur photographer and have actually had some of my work displayed in exhibitions. Maybe I could show you some of my photographs sometime. I’d love to hear your opinion.” This not only projects your confidence, but also draws the other person into your conversation. Catching someone’s gaze and holding it is flirtatious and can help the person remember. Looking the person in the eye when you speak or even if you are not together in that moment can make you appear irresistible and draw her closer to you.  Avoid staring at the person if you are not together. Holding your gazes for a couple of seconds is sufficient. When you are speaking with the object of your affection—be it romantic or just someone you want to know better—look them in the eye as long as you are together. This signals the person that you are completely engaged and interested in her and what she has to say. It’s important to listen closely to what others are saying. This not only helps show your interest, but also gives you the opportunity to later reference comments, which further enforces your interest. It may help you seem more irresistible to the other person.  Meaningful conversations about mutual interests can help forge an important bond that may make you irresistible to the other person.  Having common interests is a powerful way to cultivate attraction. Let the other person in on your hobbies and interests, too. This demonstrates your dynamism, which can help attract others to you. Not being independent or able to hold your own can make you less attractive to others. Demonstrating that you have opinions and don’t...

Article in English: Most people had injections as children and may have bad feelings associated with them. But realizing that needles are now much thinner and cause less pain may help relax you before an injection.  Ask your doctor or the person injecting you about the size of the needle if you like or what type of pain you might feel. In some cases, they may even show you how small it is. Recognize that fear of needles or injections is very common. If you are scared, talk to your doctor or health professional before and during the injection. This can help reassure and distract you.  Speak with your health professional before the injection about any fears or concerns you have. Ask her to explain how she will do the injection before she starts. Ask your doctor to talk to you while she injects you as a distraction technique. Keep the conversation light and not related to your health. For example, you could tell her about your upcoming vacation and ask her if she has any suggestions for it. A recent study suggests that looking away while you’re getting an injection may be the best way to distract yourself. Focus on an object in the opposite direction of where you are getting the injection.  Look at a picture or other object in the room. Watch your feet. This can help you take the focus off of your injection site.  Closing your eyes may help you relax and avoid anticipation of the injection. Imagine something else like a warm beach while your eyes are closed. Being able to tune out an upcoming injection may help you relax and distract you. Try different media like music or your tablet.  Tell your health professional you’d like to distract yourself with media you have brought.  Listen to soothing and slow music.  Watch a show or movie you enjoy.  Watch a funny video before and during your injection to relax you. This may help you associate shots with humor instead of pain. Relaxing your entire body can help you get through an injection. From breathing exercises to medication, try different relaxation techniques before and during an...

Article in English: Most people that store baby clothes prefer to put them in a cardboard box, as these are easy to label, stack, and move around. However, they are not a guarantee that the clothes will be in perfect condition when they are removed from storage.  Cardboard boxes need to be placed in a dry area with low humidity so that the cardboard does not deteriorate from moisture or develop mold that could damage the clothes. It is not a good idea to line the inside of the cardboard box or tub with a plastic bag because it can also hold in moisture that will eventually cause the growth of mold. Like cardboard boxes, plastic tubs (with lids) are great options for storing baby clothes, as they are compact and easy to transport. A few things to keep in mind when using plastic tubs include:  The plastic tubs need to be kept out of sunlight because the sun's rays can cause the exposed parts of the clothing to fade over time. Although the plastic tubs keep air and dust out, they also keep moisture in. Therefore, it is important that the baby clothes that are stored in plastic tubs be thoroughly dried before storing them this way. If there are spare dresser drawers, the baby clothes can be stored there. Unfortunately, most people do not have a great deal of extra dresser drawer space and those that do might have it spread over several different rooms which makes it difficult to organize the baby clothes. Hanging up a year’s worth of baby clothes can take up quite a bit of space since they are so small and the hangers are rather thick. This method should only be used to store some items that would not do well being stored flat in a drawer or a box. Plastic bags are practical for storing clothes, especially when vacuum packed. Vacuum packed clothes are well-protected from dust and moisture, and take up less space than boxes. However, the clothes may be extremely wrinkled when you unpack them.

Article in English: Most people try to breathe into their cupped hand in order to catch a whiff of their own breath, but too often this just gives you an idea of how your hand smells. Since our nasal passages are connected to our mouths, such a technique is not an accurate indicator of your breath’s odor. The best way to recognize bad breath on the spot is to consult someone you’re comfortable with. Find a loved one — someone you won’t turn off too badly — to quickly sniff your breath. Don’t make it obvious. Just a quick exhale will do the trick. Step to the side and lick the inside of your wrist. Because your wrist doesn’t rub up against many things, it’ll be a better indicator of your breath. Wait for your saliva to dry and then give your wrist a whiff. This is one of the most accurate ways of smelling your own breath. Take a spoon and place it upside-down on the back of your tongue. Slowly, but deliberately drag it to the front of your mouth. Now examine residue that you’ve collected on the spoon. If it is clear, then you probably don’t have bad breath. Most likely, it will be a milky-white or even a yellowish color. What you’ve collected is a film of bacteria that has accumulated on your tongue. This bacteria is what causes bad breath.  It is important to scrape the back (posterior) of the tongue when you are brushing your teeth. This is prime real estate for bacteria that cause bad breath. Similarly, you can perform this test with a piece of gauze — found at any pharmacy. Spoons tend to be more accessible in everyday situations. The Halimeter test looks for sulfide signatures in your breath. VSCs or sulfur compounds are commonly found in the human mouth, but high levels of sulfur signatures can indicate bad breath. Sulfur smells like eggs — this is not the smell you want in your mouth during an important meeting. Most likely, your dentist will have to administer the test, but if you really want your own Halimeter, you can purchase one. They are very expensive. This test measures sulfur levels and several other chemical...

Article in English: Most people want to keep their New Era hats looking fresh off the rack. If that's you, you'll need to use gentle cleaning methods and proper storage to keep it safe. If you don't really care how new your hat looks, but just want to keep it from looking sweat-soaked and gross, you can disregard a lot of the more particular details, and just wash it as you would other clothing items.  Don't soak new hats you want to keep looking fresh for as long as possible. Wait until it gets really soiled and already starts looking old. If you're not trying to keep your hat looking brand new, just toss it in the water to soak. Better yet, just toss it in the washing machine. Easy and done. Every time you take off a New Era cap, it's a good idea to clean it up gently to make sure dust doesn't accumulate. This is especially true if you've got a white one. It doesn't need to take more than a minute or two. If you can't dust your hat every single time, try to do it at least once or twice a week. Dust can work its way into the fibers of the cap, staining it over time, which will result in the need for deeper cleaning methods. The best way to keep your hat looking fresh every day is to run a lint roller over it, to remove the dust and the grime of wearing it. These are usually only a few bucks at most clothes retailers.  Some lint rollers have sticky sheets on the outside, which you can peel off after they get too nasty and hairy. Others will have thick bristles that go one way, but not the other. These are the best lint rollers, because they'll last a longer time and won't leave sticky residue on your hat. Some hat places will even furnish hat brushes, specifically for this purpose. If they're really expensive, opt for the lint roller, which is basically the same thing. DIY lint roller: Use the sticky side of tape, then toss it. Plain wet naps or wet hand wipes are excellent for doing little spot treatments on your New Era cap to keep it from developing stains before they become worse. Use one wet wipe to thoroughly wipe out the...

Article in English: Most pets are not going to sit perfectly still for you to take a photo! With an increased shutter speed, you're less likely to end up with blurred photos due to your pet's movement. Try setting your shutter speed at 1/500 to begin with. You may find it difficult to take pictures of pets that have black fur, including dogs and cats. You lose some of the detail in all that darkness. One way to help combat that problem is to increase the exposure, so the picture is brighter.  On most iPhones, you can increase the brightness by tapping on your pet's face in the picture to focus on it, then move the sun icon up when it appears on the screen. Adjust it until the picture is bright enough to capture your pet's face in all its glorious detail. On an Android phone, it's easiest to adjust the brightness after you take the photo with photo editing software. Pick the lowest f-stop number for your aperture, which will be the widest setting. That will bring your pet's face into focus while blurring the background.  If you can, also use a wide-angle lens to go with the wide aperture.  When using a wide aperture, get close to your pet and have them at least a few steps from the background behind them. An easy way to achieve this effect with a more expensive camera is to just hold down the shutter halfway. You can also try using the multiple shot mode instead.

Article in English: Most professors prefer you use 1-inch (2.5-cm) margins on all sides and a 12-point Times New Roman font. The cover page should be center-aligned.  In Chicago style, cover page and title page refer to the same thing. Your professor may have other requirements. Make sure you use the preferred formatting for your course. Your title should be typed about a third of the way down from the top of the page. It should be centered on the page.  Capitalize the first letter of each major word in your title, but not those belonging to minor words. For example: How to Make a Cover Page Alternatively, some style guides suggest that the title be presented in ALL CAPS. Do not underline, italicize, or bold the title. If you have a subtitle, place a colon following your title and write the subtitle on the following line. You should go several lines beneath the title, and write your first and last name. If you collaborated with other authors, make sure to include their names as well, separated by a comma.  Your name should be typed about three quarters of the way down the page. Use the same font and size that you've used throughout the cover page. Note that this final section should be double-spaced, and each of these elements should be listed on a separate line.  Include both the name and course number of the subject. Write your professor's full name and title. Use "Dr." only when appropriate. For example: "Dr. John Doe" or "Professor John Doe."

Article in English: Most retail stores and restaurants have an age requirement, but if you are old enough, getting a part-time or summer job is a great way to easily earn some money, and start to build your resume.  More and more teens are finding part-time work through bussing tables, or working at hotels. These aren’t the most glamorous jobs, but you may have an easier time getting hired.  Other retail stores, like teen clothing stores, or places like Best Buy, or Macy’s may also be a good place to look for a job. Go onto the company’s website and look for open positions. When applying for a job, and especially when interviewing. You want to dress nicely and respectfully, unless you are requested to wear something specific to the interview. If you don’t have a resume, be able to speak about past accomplishments. It’s also always a great idea to have references. Another easy way to make money, and sometimes get a nice summer tan, is to be a lifeguard or park manager. Go to your local pool or park and ask if there are any positions available and what you need to do to get hired.  Lifeguards have to have special training and be certified, so if you’re serious about becoming a lifeguard, it’s good to get the right training. Once you become certified, you may not be guaranteed a job, however. It’s good to find out if your local pool or beach is hiring, or ask your trainer for tips on landing a job.  You can also contact your local park district to see if there are any summer park jobs that you can work. Sometimes these consist of overseeing weekly events for kids, or managing sporting events. If your parents own a business, you can see if your parents will let you work part-time. This is a good alternative to an allowance and may be easier than finding another job if you have less experience, or are still too young.  Ask if you can help keep the shop clean for an hourly rate. There might be busy work that needs to get done as well, like filing papers, stuffing envelopes, or even going around town passing out flyers or coupons. This...

Article in English: Most romantic evenings will involve some type of food. Make sure to think of something that you know your partner likes. Be sure to keep it simple because you don’t want to spend your whole evening trying to cook! Find a dish that you know how to make, that your partner loves, and that will require minimal preparation.  You could have a mediterranean-style dinner with bread, cheese, olives, ham, grapes, and salad. It is elegant and requires very little preparation. Don’t plan any meal that will be too heavy or you won’t feel very romantic afterwards. The same goes for spicy foods. You could choose a nice bottle of wine for dinner, like a Tempranillo from La Rioja, or even a fun cocktail, like a Tom Collins. A bottle of Champagne can be very romantic. For something non-alcoholic, you could go with sparkling water, sparkling grape juice, or fresh squeezed juice. Having a fancy beverage will help the night feel special. Choose something that your partner will enjoy. You could have a fondue-style dessert and dip strawberries in melted chocolate. This requires very little preparation, is delicious, and is something special that you wouldn’t do every day. It’s these special touches that will make your romantic evening memorable. Take into account your partner’s preferences, but choose something that is light and have it playing quietly in the background. You could play some smooth jazz, like Billie Holiday, to set the tone. You could make a playlist or stream music, just make sure there won’t be any commercials, which will damper the ambiance. Besides eating and conversing, have something else planned. Maybe you could watch a movie together, like The Princess Bride, or you could plan a romantic massage. Having a couple of other activities will help you to enjoy each other’s company for the whole evening. Make the environment special and different from your normal sleeping arrangements. You could put rose petals on the bed, light candles, and set out a vase of flowers. This will help set the ambiance.

Article in English: Most school administrators begin their careers as teachers, and although this is not always a requirement, a degree in education nearly always is.  You can earn an associate's degree at a community college before entering a four-year school, if desired. Be sure that your degrees are from accredited institutions. Work with a college adviser to specify a particular grade level group and/or subject matter for your degree plan. If you know what area of school administration you'd like to work in, it helps to specialize your education degree to this area (for instance, a degree in secondary education for work as a secondary school principal). This process can vary depending on your geographic area.  Generally, you will need to take several required tests, then apply for your teaching license upon successful completion of the tests. Some states have different requirements for teacher testing. You may be asked to take the PRAXIS or other standardized test. You can apply for, and receive, your teaching license after you have passed all required tests. A master's in school administration will prepare you for leadership, legal issues, diversity training, and data-driven school development, all crucial aspects of successful administration.  Most people spend a number of years teaching after completing their teaching certification, and then go on to earn their advanced degree. But you can also work on the degree concurrently (enrolled part time, or taking night or online classes). You will need to get a Master's, Ed.S. or Doctorate in school administration before or after receiving a teaching job. Consider online classes, but be sure that the school you choose is accredited and has a good reputation in your industry. For a list of top online programs in school administration, visit http://www.thebestschools.org/rankings/25-best-online-masters-educational-administration-degree-programs/ This process, like the teacher licensing process, can vary by state and region.

Article in English: Most snowboards are made out of wood, although some high-end boards are made of synthetic materials such aluminum, honeycomb or fiber base. The wood core will then be surrounded by fiberglass and topped by a sheet containing the graphics.  Cores can be constructed in different ways with higher quality boards using several layers of wood to strengthen them. The core can also be made with wood grain running in different directions in different areas of the core to increase strength and promote edge grip. All cores are vertically laminated and most are laminated from tip to tail. However, some less expensive boards will use plastic spacers at the tip and tail instead of having wood go all the way through the core. The fiberglass surrounding the core determines the stiffness of the board. Beginner and freestyle rider board will have a single layer of fiberglass weaved in a single direction for more softness and flex. Stiffer boards will have fiberglass laid in multiple angles to increase stiffness and durability. Higher quality fiberglass will also be lighter weight than lesser quality fiberglass. A snowboard should be as lightweight and strong as possible. The top sheet contains the graphics and can be made out of wood, fabric or a material made out of beans. They can protect the fiberglass and core from damage but should not be integral in your choice of a board. Snowboard bases are either extruded, meaning the polyethylene pellets have been melted down before being forced together under pressure, or sintered, meaning the polyethylene pellets are forced together under extremely high pressure without being melted first. The graphics can be applied to bases using screen-printing, sublimation or the die-cut method.  Beginner, intermediate and freestyle boards will usually use extruded bases because they are cheaper and easier to repair in case of damage. Extruded bases can be waxed using rub-on wax or a hot wax every 8 times out on the mountain. Sintered bases have pores in between the pellets, meaning they can...

Article in English: Most software applications let you choose which text you wish to italicize in one of two ways:  Select existing text to be italicized. Place your cursor in front of the first letter in a block of text to be italicized. Hold down your left mouse button and drag your cursor over the block of text to highlight it, then release your mouse button. Italicize new text. Place your cursor at the location within the body of text where you want to type new, italicized text. In most cases, this will be at the end of the text. Within a software application, you can italicize text using either the software’s graphic user interface or with a keystroke command.  The applications in Microsoft Office and many similar applications feature either a toolbar or ribbon interface that includes a set of text formatting button controls. Among these controls is a button showing a capital “I” slanted to the right. This is the Italics button. Press the CTRL and I keys on your keyboard at the same time to enable italics in Windows.  In MacOS, you can also enable italics by pressing the COMMAND (also called the “Open Apple”) and I keys on your keyboard at the same time. Which way you use the software interface or keystroke commands depends on whether you are italicizing selected text or typing italicized text.  To italicize selected text, either click the Italics button or use the appropriate italics keystroke command. The selected text will be italicized, and the highlighting around the text will disappear. To italicize as you type, either click the Italics button or use the appropriate italics keystroke command. Begin typing. As you type, your text will be displayed in italics. To turn off italics, click the Italics button or use the appropriate keystroke command again. Your text will no longer appear in italics.

Article in English: Most teas, even the cheapest varieties, have light enough flavors that you will still be able to taste the whiskey. Some people recommend black or chamomile tea for this drink.  Choose your favorite tea, as all flavors can work, though. Coffee doesn’t work as well. The coffee taste is too strong, so it camouflages the whiskey too much. What you’re trying to do is to enhance the tea’s flavor. Some people even use cheaper tea bags such as Lipton. If you are drinking the tea at night, you might try a gentler tea like chamomile. If it’s afternoon, you may want to choose a higher caffeine black tea. Decaffeinated tea works too. Before you put the tea in the water, you need to get the water hot enough to make tea.  Boil or almost water either in a teapot, in a pot, or even in the microwave, and then pour it into a mug. Using a teapot is the classic method. Some teas have fragile leaves, such as white and green varieties. You will want to keep water temperature below boiling for those teas, at between 170 and 185 degrees Fahrenheit (or between 76.7 and 85 degrees Celsius). Oolong teas need hotter water, at should be brewed at between 180 and 190 degrees Fahrenheit Or between 82 and 87.7 degrees Celsius). Black and herbal teas require the hottest water, at between 208 and 212 degrees Fahrenheit (or between 97.7 and 100 degrees Celsius). Teabags can be harmful to the environment. You could also make tea with loose leaves if you don’t want to use tea bags.  You could actually put the tea leaves into a coffee maker to make tea this way.You need about 1 tablespoon for every cup of water. Simply put the tea leaves in the coffee filter. Make your own tea bag with cheesecloth. Cut a square of the cheesecloth, and put your loose tea inside of it. Tie up the bag, add it to the cup of hot water, and let it brew for several minutes. You can reuse the tea cloth. Use a strainer (sometimes called a tea leaf infuser). These come in different sizes. Measure the tea for the right amount you want to make.

Article in English: Most theatres sell candy and other snacks that can be purchased at any convenience or grocery store. You can easily smuggle these items into the theatre, because no one will suspect that they were not purchased from the concession stand. It is highly unlikely that you would ever be asked to provide a receipt. Some large movie theatre chains also sell food such as hot dogs, pizza, and burgers. If this is the case, you could try sneaking in larger items. Some foods can be loud to open and eat. For instance, most movie theatres do not sell soda in a can. The sound of a can of cola being opened will surely draw attention.  If you want to bring your own soda, pour it into a water bottle so you won't disturb others watching the movie by opening the can. Similarly, you can leave loud wrappers at home by opening up your candy in advance and transferring it to a resealable baggie. This will be much quieter and you can eat the food without drawing attention. When sneaking food into a theatre, avoid foods that have a strong scent. This may cause you to stand out and could increase your chances of getting caught by the theatre staff. Stick to scentless foods, such as trail mix, candy, or bottled water. Don't try to sneak in a burger or onion rings. Not only will the person next to you be extremely jealous, but the scent may draw the attention of the staff. As a general rule, you should never eat anything in a dark movie theatre that requires cutlery. Aside from the fact that you will likely make a huge mess, it is also inconsiderate to the other people trying to watch the film. Cutlery is loud and can distract from the movie. Leave your leftovers at home and stick with small snacks and finger foods. Once you are inside the theatre, be discreet. Keep your smuggled food hidden and avoid eating these items in front of the theatre employees. This way you are less likely to get caught.

Article in English: Mother cats will typically lose weight while nursing their kittens. To prevent the cat from losing too much weight, you should begin feeding her more than normal in the final third of her pregnancy. Feeding her too much before the last third of a cat's pregnancy can lead to her become overweight and that can make giving birth more difficult. A mother cat's body weight may have increased by 40 to 50% by the end of her pregnancy. After your cat gives birth, you should continue to feed it more than she typically eats. She will need more calories, since she is now providing energy to her kittens by nursing them. The exact amount of food a nursing cat needs will vary in proportion to its litter size.  Cats nursing more than two kittens typically need 2 to 2.5 times more calories than usual. A 10-pound cat nursing 4 kittens needs approximately 603 calories per day. A 15-pound cat nursing 4 kittens needs approximately 851 calories per day. Giving your cat the opportunity to graze at will can be the easiest way of ensuring that she gets adequate nutrition. Leave her food dish full and freely available at all times. Wet food is best, since it may be higher in protein. However, if your cat is used to dry food, or if the wet food spoils too quickly, let her have free access to dry food as well. Not all cat foods are created equal. Look for a cat food that specifically provides nutritional support for lactating cats, or one formulated for cats at all stages of life. To ensure quality, you can also look for a cat food that has been certified by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). A nursing cat will need lots of protein to keep herself healthy, and to provide nutrition to her kittens. Quality cat food will normally provide enough protein. However, if her kittens are especially noisy or mobile, it can be a sign that the mother is not getting enough protein. If in doubt, feed kitten-food to the mother cat while she is nursing. Kitten food is higher in calories, calcium, and protein. Most kittens will...

Article in English: Mountain bikes are made to take a beating and survive. Even city or small town dwellers like them, as they can turn off on dirt paths, crush over curbs, and get a little muddy without worrying about the bike breaking down. That said, a mountain bike's true purpose is to safely bomb up and down trails covered in roots, rocks, and sticks, and they will handle it accordingly.  Trail Bikes are great, all-purpose mountain bikes that can handle light and difficult trails as well as pavement and dirt roads quickly. All Mountain Bikes are made for hard, technical trails and serious riders. If you plan on hitting the trials, spending a little extra money will almost always be worth it for safety and comfort. Stand with your feet 6 inches apart and measure from the inside of your foot up to where your leg meets your waist, between your crotch and inner thigh, in inches. Multiply this number by .67, then subtract 4" to 5" from the answer to get the estimated length of your top tube, which is the part of the frame running from the handlebars to below your seat. Use the top-tube for your measurement when possible, as seat tube (pedal to seat) measurements are tricky to determine and change from manufacturer to manufacturer.  If you have a 33 inch inseam, you need a 17.5" top tube, since:33" x .67 = 21.75"    21.75" - 4" = 17.75   Specialty bike makers Lapierre & Neil Pryde have different geometry. Multiply your inseam by .62 instead of .67 if you really want one of these bikes.  If your bike shop gives frame size by seat tube length, multiply your inseam by .185. The number should be the distance between the top of your seat tube and the middle of the crankshaft, the circular piece attaching the pedal to the bike. Because the angles your different tubes are joined at affects the distance between the seat, pedals, and handlebars, these measurements will change from bike to bike and rider to rider. Taking measurements is a good starting points, but you need to get the bike you feel most comfortable on. Try out different...

Article in English: Mouse traps come in many types, including traditional spring-loaded traps, electric traps, and glue traps. They vary in their method of eliminating mice but are handled in basically the same way. These can all be purchased at most hardware stores and online. Multiple traps are useful for ensnaring a single mouse, but mice spread quickly so you may have more than one in your home.  Avoid poison. The mouse will eat the poison and die somewhere hidden. In addition, the poison can be eaten by children and animals. Glue traps are the least humane. The mouse will either starve to death or chew off its own leg and die in an unknown location. Forget the idea that mice eat cheese. While cheese can work, mice eat grains, fruit, and seeds in the wild. Peanut butter is a common household foodstuff that mice love. High-fat, high-protein, and sugary foods also attract them, such as bacon and chocolate. The stronger the object smells and the softer it is, the more likely the mouse will be to respond. Be careful not to use too much bait. Keep your bait to the size of a pea and place it firmly inside the trap. Many people make the mistake of adding too much bait. On a spring trap, for example, this allows the mouse to eat without stepping onto the trap.  It is best to bait the trap before you set it. In spring-loaded traps, for example, it’s easy to trigger the trap and have it snap closed on your fingers. Keeping the bait thin can also force the mouse to work more to eat it. Peanut butter for instance when left in a thin coating will start to dry. Mice like enclosed dark spaces, such as in a cupboard or under furniture. They often stick near walls when scurrying about. You may find rat droppings or smell urine.

Article in English: Move aside any hair that covers the base. Rest it firmly against your skin, but don't press down on it. While it's possible to find a condom that fits well without measuring the length of your penis, most condoms include the length of the condom on the box. Knowing your length will allow you to choose between brands. There should be no extra space between them. Gently hold your penis, and avoid pulling on it. If you have a curved penis, use a soft ruler or a measuring tape and push it against the curve to get the accurate length. Take your measurement to the nearest .25 inches (6.4 mm). Most condoms will include measurements that range in inches or centimeters, but it's good to know where you fall in that range. For example, if you are choosing between two lengths and your penis is 5.25 inches (13.3 cm), you may choose a condom that has a length measurement of 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) rather than one with a length of 5 to 7 inches (13 to 18 cm).

Article in English: Move the sunflower head to a table, counter, or other work surface before removing the paper bag. Empty the contents of the bag. If there are seeds inside the bag, transfer them to a bowl or storage container. To remove the seeds, simply brush them with your hands or a stiff vegetable brush.  If harvesting seeds from more than one sunflower, you can remove the seeds by gently rubbing two flower heads together. Continue rubbing the flower heads until all the seeds are dislodged. Transfer the collected seeds to a colander and rinse them thoroughly with cold, running water.  Allow the seeds to drain completely before removing them from the colander. Rinsing the seeds removes most of the dirt and bacteria that may have gathered on the seeds while they were outdoors. Spread the seeds out on a thick towel in a single layer and let them dry for several hours.  You could also dry the seeds on multiple layers of paper towel instead of a single thick towel. Either way, they should be flat and in a single layer so that each seed can dry completely. As you spread the seeds out, you should remove any debris or other foreign matter you notice. You should also remove any damaged seeds. Make sure that the seeds are completely dry before proceeding to the next step. If you plan to consume the seeds soon, you can salt and roast them now.  Soak the seeds overnight in a solution made from 2 quarts (2 liters) of water and 1/4 to 1/2 cup (60 to 125 ml) salt. Alternatively, you could also boil the seeds in this salt water solution for two hours instead of soaking them overnight. Drain the seeds on dry, absorbent paper towel. Spread the seeds out in a single layer on a shallow baking sheet. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown, at an oven temperature of 300 degrees Fahrenheit (149 degrees Celsius). Stir the seeds occasionally as they roast. Let cool completely. Transfer the seeds, roasted or unroasted, to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator or freezer.  Roasted seeds are best stored in the refrigerator...

Article in English: Move your seat forward if your legs are completely extended when you press the gas pedal. Move your seat back if your legs are bent too much. Keeping your knees slightly bent while you drive will prevent knee pain. Place 2 fingers between the edge of your seat and the back of your knee. If you can't fit both fingers in the gap, slide your seat back until you're able to. Raise the seat higher if you can’t see clearly out the windshield or windows. Don’t drive with your hips lower than your knees. If your car doesn’t have a control to adjust the seat height, sit on a cushion to help keep your hips level with your knees. Make sure you’re not elevated too much or you’ll have to bend down to look out the windshield or windows. Sitting reclined at this angle will decrease pressure on your lower back so you’re more comfortable. If your shoulders lift from the backrest when you turn the steering wheel, your seat is reclined too much. Move the backrest up more if you are hunched forward when driving. When the backrest is in the proper position, you should easily be able to reach the wheel, and your elbows should be slightly bent. If your head is above the headrest when you’re sitting in your seat, move the headrest up. If the back of your head is exposed below the headrest, move the headrest down. Ideally, the top of your head should be level with the top of the headrest. The lumbar support is the raised portion of the lower backrest. First, adjust the height of the lumbar support so the bottom edge is level with your waistline. Then adjust the depth of the support so it completely fills in the curve of your lower back.  If your seat doesn’t have lumbar support, roll up a towel and put it in the curve of your back while you’re driving. You can also buy an attachable foam support to use in place of lumbar support if your seat doesn’t have it.

Article in English: Moving soundlessly is much more difficult when you're walking on crunchy gravel and leaves than it is when you're moving over soft grass or dirt. To walk silently, assess the terrain and determine which path is the quietest. Whether you're indoors or outdoors, you can consciously walk over materials that help you move silently instead of creating extra noise.  If you're walking through the woods or in another outdoor area, try to walk on soft grass or dirt. Walk on wet leaves instead of dry, crunchy ones. When walking outdoors, look for rocks or roots, as they won't crunch like leaves or twigs.  Slowly put your weight onto the rock or root to be sure it won't shift or make noise.  Once you are certain, put the rest of your weight down. In a city setting, avoid wooden walkways, graveled areas, cobblestones, and other materials that tend to make noise. Indoors, walk on carpeting whenever possible. The space you move through is as likely to create sound as the path under your feet. When you want to walk silently, it's important to stay very aware of your surroundings so that you avoid touching anything that could give you away.  Avoid twigs and branches that could snag on your clothes and snap. Avoid gates and fences that could squeak or creak. Avoid brushing against piles of clutter and rustling fabrics. Walk in a slightly crouched position, engaging all of your muscles as you move. This lightens the amount of force that hits the ground each time you make contact, enabling you to move much more quietly. Keep your body compact, and distribute your weight evenly so you don't clunk your feet noisily against the ground. Place the toe of your foot down first and slowly, gently roll your foot toward your heel and onto the ground. Your body weight should rest primarily over your back leg. Walk on the outer edge of your shoes if possible.  If you need to move swiftly, keep low to the ground and run using the same toe-to-heel strike. Running on the balls of one's feet can help with speed and quietness, but be careful;...

Article in English: Mucus naturally drains from your sinuses down the back of your throat. If you’re lying down, the mucus can pool there. This leads to a buildup of phlegm in your throat. To prevent this, prop yourself up on pillows to allow the phlegm to drain. When you’re sleeping, use a lot of pillows or sleep in a chair if your mucus is really thick. Acid reflux can cause mucus to collect in your throat. If you commonly experience heartburn or burning in your throat, monitor the foods that seem to cause your symptoms. Then, avoiding eating those foods.  Common causes of acid reflux include garlic, onions, spicy foods, caffeine, carbonated drinks, citrus foods, onions, alcohol, mint, tomato products, chocolate, and fried, greasy foods.  Talk to your doctor if you’re having acid reflux more than twice a week, if you haven’t already. and stay away from secondhand smoke. Smoking can dry out your vocal cords, which triggers your body to make more phlegm and mucus to restore the lost moisture. This can make your phlegm worse. It’s best to stop smoking if you do. Additionally, ask others not to smoke around you or step away while they do it. If you’re a smoker, you may be able to use nicotine gum or patches to help you deal with your cravings. You may have heard that dairy makes you produce more mucus, but that’s not true. However, it may cause your mucus to thicken, especially if you’re eating high fat dairy. While you might not experience thicker mucus, it’s best to stay away from dairy if you’re trying to get rid of phlegm. If you don’t want to stop eating dairy, stick to no-fat or low-fat options because they’re less likely to thicken your mucus. Paint fumes, cleaners, and other chemicals can irritate your airways and harm your respiratory function. This can trigger your body to produce more mucus. Limit your contact with irritants or chemicals. If you must come into contact with them, wear a face mask and move to a ventilated area as soon as possible.

Article in English: Muesli was originally invented by a Swiss physicians named Maximilian Bircher-Benner. While most modern versions of muesli have a high oat-to-fruit ratio, the original was more fruit and nut heavy. His original recipe for the healthy mixture used the following ratios:  1 tablespoon rolled oats, soaked in 2–3 tablespoons water 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon cream 1 large, sour apple, finely grated and mixed in directly before serving Top with 1 tablespoon ground hazelnuts or almonds For some people, basic muesli can be a little bland. If you want to sweeten it up a bit, try adding a small amount of sweetener to your mixture to make it more satisfying. Whatever you use, use it conservatively. All of the following make great sweeteners or light seasoning:  Honey Molasses Brown sugar Cinnamon Toasted coconut Lemon Juice Agave syrup Maple syrup Nutmeg If you'd like your muesli mixture to be a little more crunchy, try baking it on a cookie sheet at 325 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until the mixture becomes golden brown. It might be helpful to add a small amount of coconut oil, or melted butter to the muesli, to encourage browning. One great way of making your muesli mobile is to mold it into bars that you can eat on the go. Mix muesli with a few tablespoons of peanut butter, or your favorite nut butter, to act as a binder, and add whatever add-ins you want. Additional dried fruit, nuts, and other cereals all work great.  Press the mixture into a baking pan, about an inch-thick, and let it chill thoroughly in the fridge. Cut into bars and keep them in the refrigerator for a quick snack. You can also use melted butter and honey as a binder, pressing the mixture into a pan and letting it firm up. Muesli can be used as a replacement for any recipe that calls for rolled oats or oatmeal. Cookies, muffins, and even pancakes can be made a little more healthful and tasty with the addition of a small amount of muesli. Try replacing the oats with muesli in any of the listed recipes below:  Cookies Pancakes Cakes Muffins

Article in English: Multiple course dinners take a lot of time to cook. If you plan ahead, you will leave yourself plenty of time to cook every course. When creating your menu, choose one or two items that will be prepared fresh and cook the others in advance.  Soups, pasta sauces, gravies, and bread can be cooked and stored the day before before the meal. Choose recipes that use different cooking equipment. For example, if all of your recipes are made in the oven, you may run out of time to cook everything. before you start cooking. This will give you lots of time to prepare the food without feeling rushed when your guests arrive. The way you set your table will depend on how many courses you planned. For example:  Set down a placemat and a charger plate at every chair. The charger plate will stay in place until the dessert course is served. Place the dessert utensils horizontally above the charger plate. Set the utensils in the order they will be used. Silverware that will be used first goes on the outside, and those that will be used last are next to the plate. Goblets and wine glasses are set near the top-right corner of the placemat. Desserts plates and coffee cups are usually brought in after the other courses are finished. Cold dishes such as salads or gazpachos can be covered in plastic wrap and stored in your refrigerator. Warm dishes can be covered with foil and placed in the oven to stay warm. Make sure your oven is set to the lowest temperature. Most ovens have a “warm” setting. This setting will keep your food warm without burning it. Catering a full meal can be expensive. However, if you hire someone else to cook, clean, and serve the meal, you will be able to enjoy your evening with your guests instead of slaving in the kitchen. If you can’t afford to hire full service catering, ask local catering companies if they have service-only packages. You will cook the food but waiters will come to your house and serve the meal.

Article in English: Nationalism refers to a blind belief that one's nation or cultural heritage is superior to others, while patriotism refers to a feeling of admiration for a particular belief or way of life. The two terms are often used interchangeably, and it's important to distinguish patriotism for what it is.  Nationalism is often marked by "us vs. them" rhetoric and behavior. Nationalists believe that people who don't believe in the superiority of a nation or culture are somehow lesser. A patriotic attitude is marked by an understanding of a nation's history, accomplishments, and positive contributions to culture. Patriotism also recognizes a nation's failures and negative influence. Patriotism is one of the most common beliefs manipulated in propaganda. Patriotic values and rhetoric is commonly subverted by those who try to manipulate certain beliefs or behaviors. The word "patriot" and "patriotism" is often used as a bludgeon to question someone's commitment and love for their country in a way that's actually more akin to nationalism.  A patriotic person may be moved by an appeal to their love of their country. However, alert citizens should be aware of the intentions of the messages they hear and the potential impact of the actions they seek to accomplish. How patriotic you are is not determined by how well you conform to what messages propaganda circulates as truth. Patriots can love their country without blindly following the popular majority.

Article in English: Naturally, he’ll wonder why you’re asking.  And if you’ve been showing him a lot of attention or flirting before throwing out this question, it will be obvious you’re asking because you like him.  Even if you already know he’s single (because you may have asked his friends), you can still ask.  Look at it as just another way to let him know you’re interested.    You can bring it up casually during conversation after you’ve talked for a while.  If you’ve flirted with him and noticed him responding to you, you can be upfront and ask earlier.  Especially if you sense the feeling may be mutual.  You could ask him directly: “Are you single?”  “Do you have a girlfriend?”  Or you could ask in a more playful manner: “So where’s your girlfriend?”  “Are you here alone?” Be prepared with a follow-up response once he answers.  If he says he is single, you can reply by saying “Good” and smile.  Or if you’re feeling bold, you can lean towards him and say in a low voice, “I’m in luck then.”  If he says he’s in a relationship, it’s best to be respectful and back away at this point.  Instead of ending the conversation abruptly, and to keep the moment light, you can tease him by saying, “Darn it!  I’m too late.” Rather than beating around the bush or throwing out hints, hoping he gets the picture, gather up the courage to let him know that you like him.  Arrange a moment where the two of you can have time to talk privately.  You can make this moment as serious or as lighthearted as you feel.  What you say and how you say it all depends on how much you like him.  If you’re bold, be straightforward and say, “Hey, I like you.  I'd like to be more than friends.”  You’re essentially pinning him in a corner with this method.  But you’ll know rather quickly if he also likes you or not. Tell him you think he’s cute and suggest you both should hang out more.  While this is also a direct way to let a man know you like him, it’s also a more casual way to express your feelings.  It takes the pressure off of him to respond appropriately...

Article in English: Needle-nose pliers are useful both to help you attach and remove split shot sinkers from your line and to help you remove the hook from the fish's mouth. (Some fishermen carry 2 sets, one to remove the hook and the other to hold onto the fish.) Look for a pair with a reasonably long point, allowing you to reach deep into the fish's mouth, if necessary. Pliers can also be used to help peel away the skin from catfish. Special pliers are made for this task, but you can also use a pair of snub-nose or adjustable pliers. Either of these items will help you cut the tag end of your fishing line after tying a knot and can be useful for other purposes as well. If you clean your fish on-site, a good fillet knife, which features a long, thin, sharp blade, will help you separate the fish's meat from its bones and skin.  Fish other than catfish and carp can be scaled instead of filleted. If you prefer to scale your fish, you'll need a fish scaler, which is shaped somewhat like a brush but replaces the bristles with jagged metal teeth used to remove the scales from your fish. You'll still need a good knife to cut off the fish's head. Some fishing sites provide fish cleaning stations, while most don't. To keep your fish from moving around while cleaning it, you can purchase a cleaning board with a clamp on one end to hold the fish's tail while you work Having a first aid kit along will help you deal with the bumps, bruises, and cuts that may happen while you're in the outdoors. A few adhesive bandages, an antiseptic salve, some gauze, a small spool of waterproof medical tape, and perhaps a small bottle of hand sanitizer will cover most of the minor injuries you're likely to deal with. You can pick up some of these items for free if you attend trade shows. Many hospitals and health agencies who exhibit at these shows offer small first aid kits or their components as promotional items. While fishing provides an opportunity to get away from the rigors of life, you can also come back with a sunburn instead of sunfish, insect...

Article in English: Networking events are opportunities to connect with people either in your current industry, or in an industry you hope to enter. If you are looking just to build relationships with others in similar roles in your industry, your introduction and interactions may be different than those of a job seeker speaking to a recruiter.  If you’re building relationships with peers, focus more on describing your experiences in the field. If you’re networking for a job interview, connect your experiences to a desire to work for that company. In any case, plan to deliver your description in the form of an “elevator pitch,” which ideally runs about 75 words and takes 30 seconds to deliver. Elevator pitches should be succinct summaries that describe who you are and what you do. These summaries highlight the most important, memorable things about you. Here are some questions to ask while developing your key messages:  Who am I? “I am a writer.” “I am a recruiter.” “I am an office administrator.” What organizations do I work for? “I work for an online art magazine.” “I work for a start-up software company.” “I work at a small-business non-profit.” What do I help my organization do? “I review local art openings for an international online art magazine.” “I seek out and secure new talent for specialized software development roles.” “I work with businesses to hone their launch strategies.” Answering basic questions like “Who am I?” will help you identify what you value and what you are passionate about. Use this knowledge to organize your answers into short, fleshed out summaries, such as:  “I am a writer for an online art magazine with an international audience. It’s a great opportunity because I get to attend and review local art openings.” “I am a recruiter at a small software start-up. I get to seek out and meet with new talent.” “I’m an office administrator at a small-business non-profit. I offer support to new businesses who are honing their launch strategies.” Even though everyone else at the networking event knows you’ve...

Article in English: Never apply bleach to dirty wood. Before bleaching your wood, wipe the wood down with water using a soft rag. Remove any stuck on dirt or debris carefully and then let the wood sit out to dry. Usually, the wood will need to dry for one to two days before it can be bleached. Bleach can be dangerous if you get it on your skin or in your eyes. Before applying bleach, put on a pair of protective goggles and thick gloves. As bleach can stain clothing, it's always a good idea to wear old clothes when working with bleach. Always work in a well-ventilated area when working with bleach to prevent dizziness or lightheadedness. An open garage or patio is an ideal place to bleach wood.  Since the chemicals in bleach are highly corrosive, you do not want any to make contact with your or your household items.

Article in English: Never leave an end piece of drywall unsupported. The end piece of drywall should always be screwed down to a strapping piece or joist. If your drywall does not end on a strapping piece or joist, try this:  Measure to the center of the farthest support piece the drywall gets to and transfer that measurement to the drywall. Place a T-square along the line in your drywall and run a razor along that straight line created by the T-square. Break the end piece off from the scoring line. Double-check the end of the drywall makes it to the center of the strapping piece or joist. Do this right before you intend to hang the drywall. You want the edges to be perpendicular to the strapping or joist and tight against the wall. Repeat this process for each strapping or joist underneath the drywall.  Make sure the five screws are evenly spaced along the strapping or joist. Leave 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) buffer zones on edges when driving screws. Do not screw too close to the edge of the drywall. Drive the screw heads down past the top of the drywall, but not so deep that they break through the surface. Start the next row at the edge of the wall, next to the previous row, but make sure the end joints of the drywall offset the first row by at least 4 feet (1.2 m).

Article in English: New teachers are sometimes reluctant to take jobs in areas that are struggling economically and at schools that are currently underperforming. This is doubly true if salaries are low. Therefore, if at all possible, address the issue with financial incentives. Even if you can’t afford to pay significantly higher salaries, you can consider:  offering one-time signing bonuses including performance bonuses in the salary package participating in government-sponsored loan forgiveness programs Studies show that monetary incentives may help bring teachers to needy schools, but not if the schools are dysfunctional. Even schools with very low budgets can, at least, implement programs designed to encourage teacher creativity and build a positive, collaborative work environment. Make sure that you are doing all you can to make your school as attractive as possible to potential employees. Some new teachers worry that, for a variety of reasons, they will not perform well in a struggling school. You may be able to mitigate those concerns by implementing strong mentoring programs and pairing new hires with seasoned teachers who can provide guidance and support. For some teachers, the challenges of working at an underfunded or struggling school can be construed as positives; they want to feel truly needed. Admit that your school is struggling – you won’t be able to cover it up, anyway – and focus on finding teachers who are committed to helping at-risk children. Middle and high school recruitment programs are especially important for schools that struggle. This is because teachers tend to want to serve schools in their own cities and neighborhoods, populated by students who remind them of themselves. Your best future teachers may be in your local schools right now. If your school is struggling to recruit good teachers, consider participating in programs like Teach for America and The New Teacher Project, which help aspiring teachers on non-traditional paths find work in positions that are traditionally harder to fill. Though...

Article in English: Next time you buy green onions to use in a recipe, save the white part with roots and eat only the greens. You can grow more green onions using only the leftover roots - and next time you want to add flavor to a dish, you'll have your own home-grown green onions on hand. Any green onions bulbs will work, but you might have the best luck if you use green onions that were grown nearby. That way you know they'll grow well in your climate. Try starting with green onions you bought at the farmer's market, since they were probably grown in your region. Any type of clean glass jar will do. Just make sure the glass is clear, and not tinted, so that the sun's rays can easily reach the onions inside. Put in as many green onion rots as you'd like - just make sure the roots are facing down, so that the greens grow up and out of the jar. Pour in enough water to cover the bulbs entirely. Set the jar in a sunny window and wait for the magic to happen. Within a few days, you should see the roots starting to get longer. Tiny green shoots will emerge from the bulbs and begin growing upward. Keep the jar filled with enough water to cover the white part of the onions. Once they're 4 to 6 inches long, they're ready to harvest. Remove a green onion from the jar and chop off as much as you want - or use the whole thing. If you just need a handful of chopped scallion, you can return the bulb and roots to the jar to continue growing. You should be able to harvest the same onions two to three times before they stop growing. If you want to continue growing onions year round, then put some rocks and pebbles in the bottom of the jar. Then, place soil over the rocks and pebbles and plant the bulbs in the soil.

Article in English: Nicotine replacement therapy, or NRT, is widely considered a successful means of dealing with intense cravings. There are many over-the-counter NRT products available, and according to a decades-long study by the Food and Drug Administration, combining NRT products shows no significant health threat.  Nicotine replacement patches, nicotine gum, and nicotine lozenges are all common NRT products that have been shown to be effective in treating nicotine cravings.  Stronger NRT products are available with a doctor's prescription. These include medications, such as bupropion (Zyban) and varenicline (Chantix). Unlike over-the-counter NRT products, these prescription medications are best used on their own, rather than in combination with other products, unless your doctor gives you express approval to combine NRT products. Talk to your doctor if you think prescription-strength NRT products may be right for you. Whether you're trying to quit altogether, or just trying to break a too-frequent smoking habit down into what you view as a more-manageable social habit, having a support system can be a valuable aid. If you know of other friends or relatives who are going through the same withdrawal cravings, call or text one another, or get together to go for a long walk or run. If you don't know anyone who's actively trying to quit or reduce their smoking frequency, you can join an online support group. Find online support groups by searching online for smoke cessation support groups. Many long-term members have gone through what you're going through, and can likely offer support or advice on how to manage your cravings. E-cigarettes, also called vape pens, are a non-combustible alternative to smoking cigarettes. These products typically contain a flavor component and nicotine, although some e-cigarette cartridges also come in nicotine-free varieties. While e-cigarettes are not necessarily safe, they do allow smokers to avoid inhaling actual smoke while managing (and, ideally, reducing) the amount of nicotine being...

Article in English: Nit eggs are covered in a sticky substance which binds them to human hair follicles. Vinegar has been found to contain chemicals that dissolve this substance, preventing nits from maintaining their grip on human hair.  While kneeling in front of a bathtub, place your head under the faucet. Turn on the warm water and thoroughly dampen your hair. Then, turn off the water and, while still kneeling, pour a large amount of vinegar over your head. Make sure that all strands are coated with the liquid. Then use warm water to rinse your hair. Alternatively, fill a sink with 1:1 parts of water and vinegar. Submerge your hair in the sink entirely, either by dipping your head forward or dipping it backward into the solution. Detangle with a leave-in conditioner and normal brush. Try to get your hair entirely detangled, so that combing with a nit brush is easy and painless. If you are the one affected by lice, then you will need the help of another person. They'll need a metal nit comb — a fine-toothed and rigid comb that is better at removing nits than a plastic comb. You should be able to buy a nit comb at most pharmacies for under $10. They can use a magnifying lens if possible to search for hard-to-see nits. A large number of nits could have been rinsed out of your hair during the vinegar application. However, there will likely still be eggs clinging to the dampened strands. Working with one small section of hair at a time — about the width of the nit comb — your helper should carefully comb through your entire head. Once the comb has run-through a section of hair, the comb should be cleaned off in a shallow bowl filled with water and dish soap. Then, wipe it dry using facial tissue or paper towel, being sure to remove any lice or nits that have clung to the comb. Once your helper has finished with a particular portion of hair, he should pin it flat to the side of your head to minimize the chance of re-infestation. You may want to wash your hair one more time after a complete comb-through. Even if all the nits and...

Article in English: No in Afrikaans is pronounced differently than it is spelled and should sound like nee-yu.  To say yes  you say ja. It is a long and low sound with an h sound like ya-hu.  Afrikaans is one of the languages of South Africa. It is a descendant of Dutch, a West Germanic language, brought to the Dutch colony of the Cape of Good Hope in Africa by European settlers in the 17th century. Afrikaans evolved from a mixture of Dutch and other languages including Bantu, Khoisan languages, and English.

Article in English: No lie: backing up a trailer is one of the most difficult driving maneuvers there is, but it's easy to master with the right technique and a bit of smarts. To get ready, roll down your windows and kick a passenger out to act as a spotter. It might take a few runs before you get it perfect, so it helps to have another set of eyes. To get yourself oriented properly, pull more or less straight perpendicular to where you want the back end of the trailer to go, keeping the truck and the trailer straight. Pull past the spot by 8–10 feet (2.4–3.0 m) to give yourself adequate room to back up. When you've got it lined up, turn your wheel opposite the direction of the parking spot. So, in other words, if you've pulled up perpendicular to a spot on your passenger side, enough ahead of the spot to back up, stop the car and jack the wheel to the left, or the driver's side. Basically, to get the back end of the trailer to go right, you need to make your car back up going left and then straighten it back out to avoid a jackknife. Start backing up slowly and quickly straighten the wheel back out by turning it back toward the right. Watch your back end closely and straighten it back out if your angle gets too sharp. This'll take some practice.  Go extremely slowly. If you're in an automatic transmission, the idling speed should be plenty fast to make you nervous. Use gas only sparingly and don't make unnecessary or fast changes. Avoid jackknifing. If, at any point, the angle of the truck to the trailer becomes smaller than a right angle, straight it back out and give it another go. Don't try to force it, because it won't work. Make friends with your side mirrors so you can keep an eye on where your front end is at all times, taking special caution to watch out for parking obstacles and bumps that might mess up your approach and be a problem when you're trying to straighten back out. Drive like a pro and use your side mirrors. Your rear-view will be basically useless in the task. Use the help of a spotter and your side-mirrors...

Article in English: No matter how busy your life is, make sure he knows that you have time for him and will always do whatever you can to clear a space in your schedule for him. Do not make him feel like he has to beg for your attention. Make it absolutely clear to him that he is one of the most important parts of your life. Kiss him hello, goodbye, good morning, and good night. Cuddle against him when the two of you are side-by-side. Linger in his embrace when the two of you hug. Physical affection demonstrates physical love, and this physical dimension of love is just as important to a guy as the emotional dimension when he is involved in a romantic relationship. This is important no matter how long the two of you have been together, but it is especially important if the two of you have just begun falling in love with each other. Find out about his likes and dislikes. Ask him about his past or his plans for the future. Getting to know him deeply and thoroughly lets him know that you are really serious about him. Part of getting to know a guy also means letting him talk about the things that interest him at length, even when they do not interest you. Your conversation should never be completely one-sided in his favor, though. If you want your relationship to be healthy, you need to make sure that both of you are allowed time to talk about things that are important to you as individuals. If you've never met them, ask your man to introduce you to the other important people in his life. Once you do meet them, go out of your way to connect with them. Welcoming these people into your own life demonstrates a desire to further connect his life to yours. At the same time, you need to make sure that you let him spend time with these people away from you, as well, especially where his friends are concerned. Sometimes your guy might actually crave “guy time” with his buddies, so you need to let him have it. Sometimes, your man might need to get away from the world for a while. If you lets you, then hide away with him. He may not feel like...

Article in English: No matter how careful you are, you won't be able to make the present look pristine and untouched. Follow a few of these steps if you're uncertain about whether you should mess with something or not:  Removing tape will likely tear the wrapping paper, leaving evidence. Don't mess with the tape. Wrapping paper is difficult to put back precisely. Trying to rewrap an item is sure to fail, because parents have years of experience wrapping presents to make them look better. Bows are a definite stop sign. Once a bow is unwrapped or curled the wrong way, they can be so delicate that you can't put them back together. Make sure to put everything back where you found it. If you looked under a pile of books or something, don't just pile the books on the floor and leave them there. Your parents will know you've been snooping.  Make sure you know the order of items, not just the positioning. Your parents may have things alphabetically organized or put in some other order. Pay attention to folds and creases, especially in clothing. They'll know you've been in their stuff if the folds are different than the norm. Clean off smudges from glass items. Use your shirt or a paper towel to remove any incriminating evidence if you happened to have touched glass and left a visible fingerprint. . Make sure they don't see this page! If they see this page, it doesn't matter how well you covered your tracks. They'll know your intent and won't trust you.   If your parents find out you've been snooping around, they may even dedicate time into finding a better hiding spot. Log off the computer. Leave no evidence you were on it and make sure it's cool enough and not hot, so your parents won't notice. Turn the computer off. If the computer was off to begin with, you want to make sure and power it down.

Article in English: No matter how many guests you have and how many appetizer choices you prepare, you should plan out the total amount around the maximum number of guests you anticipate having. The standard rule is to serve four to six pieces for each person.  Note, however, that if you are planning an evening event that does not provide a main course and only has an appetizer, you should prepare 10 to 15 pieces per person. The amount of time can also change this figure. For instance, if you plan on letting the appetizer course last for two hours or more, plan on guests eating around 10 pieces for every two hours. Divide the total number of pieces by the number of choices to determine how much to prepare of each appetizer. For instance, if you have 30 guests, you will need about 150 pieces per guest and roughly seven different selections. That means you'll need to prepare approximately two dozen (or more precisely, 21 to 22) pieces of each appetizer. For any appetizers that need to be cooked or assembled, do as much of the actual preparation as early as possible. A day in advance is ideal.  Appetizers that need to be served warm should be prepared early and rewarmed as guests start arriving. Do your cooking in an oven to make sure that the appetizers are crisp. Avoid cooking anything in the microwave, even when there are instructions on how to do so. The only appetizers you should avoid baking too far in advance are those that will become soggy after being refrigerated, like soufflés or meats coated in a crispy batter. Do as much preparation as you can earlier in the day, then bake the appetizer, planning just enough time for the baking to finish immediately before your first guest should arrive. Continue keeping these appetizers warm in the oven as the rest of your guests roll in. The appetizer selection should be visually appealing, but the way you arrange the appetizers also needs to catch the eye. Consider arranging the foods in a unique way or decorating the serving platter the foods will sit on.  Use toothpicks and small...

Article in English: No matter what activity you're doing, sound can have a drastic impact on how much you're enjoying it. For instance, maybe you have to clean your bedroom or the kitchen. The chore is a drag, but turn on some of your favorite tunes and it becomes a cleaning concert of fun.  Identify sounds that make you happy or relaxed. Music. Children laughing. Rolling ocean waves. Birds chirping in the trees. Aim to surround yourself with these sounds more. If you can't get to them naturally, listen to them from YouTube. Identify sounds that make you upset, sad, or angry. Honking traffic. A phone ringing off the hook. Aim to avoid these sounds, if possible. If you can't, counteract them with sounds you like, such as listening to soothing music through earbuds to cover up the nonstop phone calls. Or, maybe you never get quiet time, and a good dose of silence can help you enjoy your tasks more. Humans crave the warmth and touch of others as it is our primary expression of compassion. In this increasingly digital age, touch has become even more important for you to thrive. Touch boosts safety and security, enhances overall well-being, builds trust, increases team bonding, and reduces risk of disease. Engage in activities and surround yourself with people whose touch brings you joy. Doing so can bring contentment to more areas of your life. Even eating can be fun when you are doing it mindfully. Many people associate food with guilty feelings. Maybe you should be saying "no" to that slice of chocolate cake at the office party or extra buttery popcorn at the movies. However, when you practice mindful eating, rather than eating mindlessly, you can enjoy more foods you love without the guilt.  To practice mindful eating, select a food such as a bite-size chocolate or small bite of fruit. Observe the food - shape, smell, size, texture. What is your reaction to looking at the food (i.e. salivation, impatience, etc.)? Place the food in your mouth for 30 seconds without chewing. Once 30 seconds have elapsed begin chewing.

Article in English: No matter what hair type you have, the first step to detangling it is to start with a small section. Part your hair with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb, then separate it into 4-6 sections that are each about 2 in (5.1 cm) wide. If you have curly or natural hair, using a brush on your wet, detangled hair can help to clump your curls together at the ends. Run it gently through the strand, going from root to tip, until your curls are gathered at the ends.  For looser curls, use a brush with wide-set boar bristles to help smooth your hair and keep it frizz-free. If you have tighter curls, use a detangling brush with flexible bristles to conserve your curl pattern without causing frizz.

Article in English: No matter what outfit you choose, the fabric needs to be breathable so you don't get overheated. This will prevent sweating, and in turn, prevent a heat rash from developing on your skin. Some breathable fabrics include cotton, linen and wool. You can wear solid shorts or capris in fun colors like pink, green, or blue, or neutrals. To match, wear a short-sleeved shirt with an empire waist and a fun print. The shorts and capris you choose should be stretchy, and come with a maternity waist. Pregnant women are prone to becoming  overheated due to increased blood in their body. Especially in the later months of your pregnancy, you may feel hotter than you normally do, so it’s better to wear cool clothes and layer them with fashionable sweaters or jackets. Maxi dresses are the perfect feminine outfit to wear anywhere. The flowing cut of a maxi-dress is comfortable, stylish and will keep you cool. Maxi dresses come in all kinds of stylish prints and solids, so take your pick! Choose a basic color that you can mix and match with several tops, and is professional enough to wear to work with a blazer. A pencil skirt that goes down to your knees is very professional-looking, and can also be super comfortable if it's made of stretchy fabric. Wearing shorter skirts will also keep you cool when you want to avoid getting too hot.
