Article in English: Make sure to buy fresh, ripe avocados from your supermarket. The flesh should indent a little when you press the skin. Insert a sharp knife near the tip of an avocado and push until you hit the pit. Slice around the pit to separate the avocado into halves. Remove the pit and scoop the flesh onto a cutting board. Slice the avocado meat into small chunks.  Try to keep the avocado meat intact when you scoop it out, so you'll be able to slice it into even chunks. This recipe is easier to make with avocados that are very slightly underripe, since the avocado pieces will hold their shape instead of getting smashed in the dip. After peeling and chopping the mango and tomatoes, place them in a bowl with the avocado. Use a spoon to toss the ingredients together to mix them. Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle the chopped green onions and salt on top. Use a spoon to toss the mixture so the avocado, mango and tomatoes get fully coated with lime juice and seasonings.  Do not over mix the dip, since the avocado will begin to break down and get smashed if you handle it too much. For a spicier dip, try adding 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper and 1/2 teaspoon cumin. Mango avocado dip is also delicious with seafood dishes, such as  fish tacos. Store leftover dip covered in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Article in English: Make sure to drink the recommended 3 liters (0.8 US gal) of fluid for men and 2.2 liters (0.6 US gal) of fluid for women per day. For runs over an hour long, you will need to drink water during your run.  Drink water up to two hours before a long run. During the run, sip water in small sips and frequently to avoid bloating or cramping. After a long run, drink 500mL of water immediately, and then continue to sip water throughout the day to replenish your water supply. You can get lean protein from fish, chicken, turkey, tofu, eggs, and beans, just to name a few.  Salmon is one of the best sources of Omega-3 beneficial fats, which promote a healthy inflammation response. An increase in Omega-3's in your diet may also help reduce the symptoms of asthma. One egg a day will give you 30% your daily value of Vitamin K, which promotes healthy bones. In addition, eggs contain all of the essential amino acids that aid in muscle recovery. After a long run, your body will thank you for replenishing your store of amino acids. Avoid a diet high in red meat or processed meat. Both are thought to increase the risk of colorectal cancer, heighten bad cholesterol levels, and contribute to clogged arteries and a higher risk of heart attack. Nuts, especially almonds, are high in Vitamin E antioxidants and Omega-3 fatty acids that can help lower bad cholesterol levels in the body. Vitamin E also protects body tissue from potential damage from free radicals. Be aware that nuts are high in fat, so only consume the recommended serving size daily. Dark greens and berries are packed full of healthy antioxidants and greens are extremely rich in fiber, which promotes digestive regularity. Foods like sweet potatoes and carrots are rich in beta-carotene, a healthy antioxidant that promotes muscle recovery. When purchasing cereal, bread, crackers, and other carbohydrate-based foods, choose the whole grain or whole wheat option. Whole grains contain fiber and phytonutrients that support healthy digestion. Potassium decreases the likelihood...

Article in English: Make sure to exercise good fashion sense. Wear clothes that fit well and don't look trashy or overly showy. Don't seem like you're doing all this for her, make it natural and normal. Don't be so concerned with your image that you're putting up a front. Girls in general like a guy who'll look after himself, but not a guy who's convinced he has to be someone he's not in order to be likable. Nerd girls in particular have little tolerance for guys who aren't honest and down-to-earth. Nerds are well-known for their many hobbies and emphasis on learning, which takes up a lot of their time. You'll need to respect her schedule. Act friendly, warm, and interested. Ask her a lot about herself, and reveal things about yourself, too. This is called "flirting." It's not that difficult, so don't approach it as if it were. Don't make any comments about her body. All girls hate that.   Treat her like a friend, and you'll probably get... a friend. So what's the difference between flirting and normal talking? Flirting is the process by which you exchange information about each other. Someone talking to a friend might say: "Which of the Alpha abilities do you think is the coolest?" Flirting would sound more like: "If you could have a superpower, what would it be and what would you do with it?" because it helps you learn about the other person's personality. Insecurity won't get you anywhere. Fact: You talked to this girl for thirty seconds and she did not run away screaming. Unless you're secretly a lazy slob whose hobby is punching cats in the face, chances are, you're worth talking to. Act like you know it. Self-respect and confidence are very attractive--to everyone, not just nerds. Find a creative date idea, or one tailored to a shared interest between you. It really makes a girl feel good when a guy notices and remembers something about her, and uses it to make their time together more fun. Who knows--your unique idea might turn Tuesday into Tiramisu Night. Ask her casually, nerdy girls like a guy who can be her lover, and...

Article in English: Make sure to fill your hamster's new playground with toys, whether you built a multi-level box playground, or made a collapsible pen. If you keep toys and obstacles in your hamster cage that are removable, grab them so it can play in its new playpen or box. Use a tray to put treats in your pen, too. Try putting them around the pen in various places for your hamster to find. Use an empty paper towel or toilet paper rolls to make tunnels for your hamster. Make sure that they’re big enough for your pet to get through. Create a bigger tunnel system by pushing the cardboard rolls into any other hamster tubes you might have, like ones made out of either a chewable material or out of plastic. Stock up on empty tissue boxes, cereal boxes, boxes that hold canned soda, and other household cardboard boxes. The size of these smaller boxes will depend on the size of the box or pen you used for the playground. Cut doors in them and make a little city for your hamster to explore. Take a trip to the hardware store, or have your parents bring you. Find a short length of flexible, plastic tubing for plumbing. Use the largest tubing you can find: one with the longest circumference, or longest around. Cut it in half length-wise so you’re left with two long slide shapes.   If you or a parent is handy with wood, you can make a ladder for the slide with a small wood frame or box. Use non-toxic glue to attach 5 to 10 wooden dowels for the ladder’s rungs. You can also get an adult to drill holes through the wooden frame and use a hammer to tap the dowels through them.  Use a small, solid square of wood for the slide’s top platform. Drills holes and use screws or dowels to attach it to the wooden ladder, or glue them together using non-toxic glue.  Have an adult drill holes through the slide shape and the wood square, and use a screw to attach the slide to the square’s underside. Sand out a groove in the platform so the slide fits better. Make sure the pointy end of the screw doesn’t poke through the top side of the wood square. ...

Article in English: Make sure to include the following in your chart:  Quantities. You will want to devote the first column in your chart to the total number of units produced. Your quantities can increase by 1, such as 1,2,3,4 etc. or they can increase by larger increments, such as 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 etc. Fixed costs and variable costs. During production there are certain costs, such as rent, that are fixed. Other costs, such as the cost of materials are variable according to the quantity. Make columns for each of the costs next to the quantities and input the figures. You can also choose to do the work on a spreadsheet; however, you can understand the marginal cost calculation better if you write out the formula initially.

Article in English: Make sure to include your full contact information at the top of your letter. This will include not only your address, but also your email address, and daytime phone number.  If your letter is chosen, the editors will use this information to get in touch with you. If the newspaper has an online submission system, it will likely have a space for you to include this information. After your contact information, leave a blank line and then add the date. Write it formally, as you would in a business letter, such as: “Feb 25, 2016.” If you are writing an email or sending in a physical letter, address the letter as you would a business letter. Include the recipient's name, position, company, and address. If you don't know the editor's name, you can either find it in the newspaper, or you can just write “Editor.” It's usually a good idea to attach your name to your letter, and some newspapers won't publish letters anonymously anyway. But sometimes, there may be a circumstance where you want to state your opinion but you don't want people to know who you are. Add a note to the editor that your letter needs to be published anonymously.  Unless you've written about a provocative issue, it's unlikely that your letter will be published if you've also requested anonymity. You will still need to provide your name and contact information, so that the newspaper can verify your letter. The newspaper won't publish your information if you've asked it not to. There's no need to be fancy here. Just write "To the editor,” "To the editor of The Herald," or “Dear Editor.” Follow this salutation with a comma or a colon.

Article in English: Make sure to place the cut side of the fruit facing down. The interior dome of the squeezer should press towards the rind-end of the fruit. Placing the cut side face-down may appear counter-intuitive at first. However, if you leave the cut side facing up, the juice will squirt upwards! Hold the squeezer over a bowl. Place the bottom handle in your non-dominant hand. Press down the top handle with your dominant hand, until the handles are close enough together that you can grip them with both hands at once. If you know exactly how much fruit you need to juice, you can skip the separate container and squeeze directly into a pot or other cookware. Place one hand in front of the other. Grip the handles of the squeezer with both hands at the same time. Squeeze several times, until juice stops flowing from the squeezer. The squeezer will invert the rind so that it’s almost inside-out.

Article in English: Make sure to use cardstock, not plain printer paper. Cardstock is thicker and sturdier, which will help hold the box together and keep it together. Printer paper will be too flimsy and may fall apart. Make sure to choose a paper size suitable for the size you want your boxes to be.  For example, 8.5 in × 11 in (22 cm × 28 cm) paper will make small boxes that are more suitable for children. If you want larger boxes, try printing on 9 in × 12 in (23 cm × 30 cm) sheets or even 11 in × 14 in (28 cm × 36 cm). Before hitting print, make sure that your printer can handle the paper size and weight of the cardstock. Select the correct print settings under preferences. Cardstock will be somewhere between 50-110 lb. For a unique touch, you could print the design on a different color of cardstock, such as light blue or pink. Wax paper will keep the butter and oil from soaking into the paper, so you can use the boxes again. Fill the box with your favorite flavor of popcorn and enjoy! When you’re done, throw away the used wax paper and re-line the box the next time you use it.

Article in English: Make sure you are in a good mood yourself.   Babies can mimic laughter even at an early age. Many babies laugh out loud for the first time at 3-4 months of age. Babies will laugh in response to bright colors, toys, and other people's laughter. Peekaboo can be important for object permanence development in infants six months and older.  Object permanence is when the baby recognizes that objects and events still exist even when they can't be seen or heard. Playing peekaboo is a great way to exercise this cognitive development. It can also be a great way for younger kids to play with a younger sibling or relative. It should be one of their toys such as a teething ring or a ball they can grab.  Allow the baby to examine the toy for a minute or two. Let them touch it and grab at it to explore. After a few minutes, cover the object with a cloth. If a baby has object permanence, they will be able to pull the cloth off and find the object. Pull the cloth off and smile. This will often make the baby laugh or giggle, as you have made the object re-appear. Start by smiling at your baby and talking to him in a sweet voice.  Cover your face with your hands and say "Where's Mommy?" or "Where's _____? Pop back out and say "Peekaboo! I see you!" Keep your voice happy and stay smiling. Remember, the goal is to get the baby to laugh and not scare the baby. This is a great way for a brother or sister to connect with a younger sibling.  This is one of the games that older children love to play with babies. Both the baby and the older child get automatic feedback from one another. The baby enjoys the game and this allows the older child to establish a bond with the baby.

Article in English: Make sure you aren't doing anything that could be getting on other people's nerves before you bring up the problem. Especially if there's bad blood between you already, you don't want to make the problem worse by appearing hypocritical or insensitive. Make sure you're not picking them out, either. If you don't want them to play music at 3 AM, your old friends Ken and Janet next door shouldn't be able to do the same thing. If you are planning a late night event, won't be able to keep up with the yard work for a while, or anticipate any other issues that could bother your neighbors, let them know. Have a quick conversation about it and give them your phone number to call if there are any issues. It's amazing what changes from "intolerable" to "no problem" if you just take the time to communicate. Just like everyone, your neighbors have problems in their life, even if they aren't obvious to you. Your neighbor may find it difficult to take the time out of their life to acknowledge and handle another person's problems. Don't fall into the same trap. Is your neighbor nameless and faceless, or do you actually know each other? It's a lot harder to care about someone you've never met, and resentment can build quickly when neighbors don't bother forming a relationship with each other. The best way to get what you want – some peace and quiet on the weekends, for example – might be to forge a relationship with your neighbor so you understand each other better and are more willing to be considerate. You don't have to end up as best friends, but seeing each other as people is a good start to increased neighborliness.  Why not invite your neighbors over for a meal? Ask them to come over when you're having a summer cookout, or invite them for pancakes on a Saturday morning. Get to know each other before you make any requests. If inviting them into your space is a bit much, you could take over a bottle of wine or some home-baked cookies and introduce yourself. If you really want to repair relations with your neighbors, start...

Article in English: Make sure you have a plan to both help reassure you when the situation comes to a head and something you can fall back on if needed.  If you don’t know much about stress, you can educate yourself about the feeling. Stress often happens due to thoughts that you cannot deal with what is happening. Bad thoughts that may lead to stress are, “I can’t do this. I don’t have enough time. This is too much!” Use your problem solving skills. Identify possible solutions to your issue that is causing you stress.  When feeling stressed, use the STOPP method: stop and take a step back, take a breath, observe (what are you thinking and feeling?), pull back (look at the situation as an outside observer), and practice what works. Stress is normal, especially for people at this age where everything seems to be crashing in. It’s confusing and difficult, but you can get through this. Use coping skills that help you feel positive emotions such as happiness or excitement.  Distract yourself. Distraction can be a helpful way to cope with stress. It gets your mind off of what you are worrying about and gets you to focus on something else.  Try playing a game on your phone. There are many that are available for free (such as Candy Crush). Go on social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, SnapChat, etc) for a few minutes, but don't spend too much time focused on it. If you start comparing yourself to others or have a negative conversation with someone, stop yourself and do something else that makes you happy. Text message a friend and set up a time to hang out. Get out in nature. Being near nature may help kids cope better with stress because it may help them focus their attention, which can feel like a mini-vacation. Listening to music can help calm you down and reduce distress.   Use creative activities to deal with stress such as painting, drawing, and writing.  Give yourself a break. Try your hardest and be the best you can be, but take breaks when needed. You need time off to recharge, too. Having someone to talk to is essential...

Article in English: Make sure you have a steady grip on the needle. It should be at the same angle that you want your jewelry to go. In other words, the needle should go through your ear like an earring would, or through your belly button like a belly ring would. Piercing your skin at an odd angle will make it difficult to get jewelry inserted, so take your time lining the needle up. If you want, apply a bit of numbing gel onto your ear before you pierce. Make sure you give it time to start working. It should be one fast, fluid motion. If you push a little, stop, push a little again, and so on, you're more likely to rip the skin. One, smooth puncture will make a smooth hole and also make the healing process easier. Push the needle until it is halfway through your ear. Leave it in for about 20 minutes to ensure that the hole remains there long enough to get an earring in when the needle is removed. After the needle has been in the hole for about 20 minutes, it's time to put something much better looking in. The hole will heal up quickly, so it's important to have the jewelry ready to go before you remove the needle. Pop your clean jewelry into the new hole you created. It's okay to use a little bit of pressure to get the jewelry through your skin, but don't force it.

Article in English: Make sure you have the right size cage for your cockatiel.  The cage should be large enough so that your cockatiel can spread its wings, even with any other birds or items that may be in the cage.  Remember that the smaller the cage, the more time your cockatiel will need to spend outside of it to get the necessary exercise and mental stimulation.  Look for a cage you clean easily.  Remember, birds will void every ten to fifteen minutes. Check to see if your hand can fit in the cage without problem. Your cockatiel will need enough room to spread its wings. Make sure you put enough perches in the cage so that your cockatiel is free to walk and jump around the cage. If positioned correctly, a cockatiel should be able to fly between perches too. Natural wood and rope perches are ideal.  Don't place perches directly over one another as cockatiels cannot fly at steep vertical angles. Try making steps or platforms using your perches to handle vertical positioning. Avoid concrete perches, as they are hard on the bird's feet. Check that the wood is safe for the bird, such as eucalyptus. Dowel perches or plastic perches can cause foot problems due to the lack of foot exercises. Avoid perches and toys made out of Prunus or Oak trees as these may be harmful to to your cockatiel. Variety is important. Cockatiels, like most parrots, love to destroy things. Natural foliage and shredding toys are vital to ensure that your bird can direct its chewing in the right way.  Variety is important.  Your cockatiel will be happiest if it has many toys to play with. Ask a veterinarian before adding natural foliage as not all trees and shrubs are safe for cockatiels. Cockatiels will grow tired of their toys. Rotate and clean toys every other week. All birds will need to have some kind of bathing option available.  Beyond providing a way for your bird to stay clean, it also provides mental and physical stimulation.  Most pet shops will have a sturdy plastic cockatiel bathtub for the cage.

Article in English: Make sure you have your doors and windows locked. Close your curtains at night.  If you hide a spare key outside your house, make sure it is in a well-hidden spot, not under the doormat. Even better, give a spare key to a neighbor you trust. Keep your phone by your bed. Consider putting a security company’s sticker on your window or sign in your yard to serve as a deterrent, even if you don’t have a security service.

It is easy to be in your own little world out in public places, wrapped up in a phone or daydreaming, and zone out as to what’s in front of you. However, stay alert to any suspicious behavior or anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable.  If you can, make a mental description of a suspicious individual’s appearance, including your best guess of their age, height, weight, and ethnicity. When walking or running, stay on populated, well-lit paths. Do not wear headphones. If you feel as though you are being followed, you want to attract the attention of as many people as possible.

Article in English: Make sure you're not putting yourself in harm's way by administering CPR to someone unconscious.  Is there a fire?  Is the person lying on a roadway?

Article in English: Make sure your computer is near a wall cable socket.  Most modem's don't have an On/Off switch. Plugging and unplugging them is how you turn them on and off.  When the cable modem is turned on, it has to go through a boot up process. You can tell this process is done when most of the lights have turned on and stopped blinking. There's usually one light that will keep blinking. It usually takes about 30-60 seconds for a modem to finish turning on. If you've purchased a new modem, you'll need to call your cable ISP and give them information about your new modem, because they won't recognize it as being associated with your account otherwise. You'll need your modem's serial number and its MAC address, both of which should be printed on the bottom or side of the modem. Open a web browser and go to a website that you haven't been to before. If you go to a website you've been to recently, your browser may load it from its cache. If the website loaded, then you're connected to the internet. If not, complete the rest of the steps. Testing your connection is not limited to web browsers; you can use any other program that requires internet. Searching for something using a search engine is a good way to do this.

Article in English: Make sure your fern is well-hydrated as the plant’s ability to absorb moisture will be diminished for a week or two after it is divided because its root system will be compromised. Push the shovel straight down into the soil about 6 inches away from the fern stems, all the way around the fern. Then, push the shovel in again and lift the fern up out of the soil on the tip of the shovel. As an indoor fern may be difficult to get out of its pot, you can grasp the fern’s leaves at the base gently between your fingers and tip the container upside down. The fern should drop out of the pot. If the fern does not slide out easily, tap the container against the edge of a counter or table to work it loose. You want to avoid ripping or tearing the roots so also wash them off carefully and on a gentle or low stream of water. There are different methods for properly dividing your fern depending on your fern’s root structure.   Rhizomatous roots are thick, underground stems from which smaller fibrous roots grow. Your fern may have sections of thick, fleshy roots with fine roots growing from them. Ostrich ferns (Matteuccia struthiopteris) are commonly grown ferns with rhizomatous roots.  Once the soil is washed off, the fern’s roots may appear as a mass of fine, fibrous roots growing from the center of the fern. These are clump-forming roots. Royal fern (Osmunda regalis) is one of the fern species that has a clump-forming root system. A spreading root system is somewhat similar to a clumping root system but the roots originate from all over the entire underside of the fern rather than just the center. Sword fern (Polystichum munitum) is a commonly grown species that has a spreading root system.

Article in English: Make sure your goggles are on. At this point, you may need to adjust the goggles by tugging on the straps so that they don't leak. If you don't feel comfortable getting into the pool yet, you can practice this part in a bowl of warm water. The bowl should be twice the size of your face. Take a deep breath through your mouth first, then place your face into the water. Exhale slowly through your mouth, just enough to keep water from entering your mouth.  Some swimmers like to exhale through both their nose and mouth. If you find this to be more comfortable for you, then you should do it.  Some swimmers find that wearing a nose plug helps them exhale better underwater. You should take twice as much time to exhale as to inhale. If you find this difficult to keep track of, try timing your exhalation to the count of ten. You will likely get water in your mouth at some point while you are underwater. While this may feel uncomfortable, it is not a near-death experience. It happens to a lot of people, especially when they are first learning how to swim. One way to reduce swallowing water is to position your tongue as though saying "Keh." Even though you are not swimming yet, this is a good practice to get into. It will help keep your body straight and aligned. If you keep your head out of the water, your body will be tilted upwards, and create more drag and resistance. It will make it harder to swim. If your pool has those black lanes, use those as a focal point.

Article in English: Make sure your home printer can print on cardstock. Load a sheet of cardstock (or blank postcards) into your printer's paper tray. Print out however many copies of your postcard that you want. If you are printing both the front and back of your postcards, print a page of "fronts" first. Then, load the cardstock back into your printer's paper tray before printing the "backs." If you're unsure which side your printer prints to, try doing this using a test page on normal printer paper first. Unless your postcard takes up the entire sheet of paper, you will need to cut your printout into separate cards. If you have a paper cutter, use that to quickly make consistent cuts into multiple copies at once. Otherwise, hand cut them one at a time with a pair of scissors. Some blank postcards are perforated so that all you will need to do is tear where necessary. If your Word document didn't include addresses, write them in. You can also add a handwritten message to any available blank space. Affix a stamp to the top right corner of the addressed side, and your card is ready to post.

Article in English: Make sure your pan is deep enough that the brats will be covered in water. Place the bratwurst in the pan. Try to not let them overlap. Giving more room is better for cooking the bratwurst. Alternately, you can add half water and half beer to the pan for added flavor. Turn the pan to medium-high heat and let the water heat up to a boil. Once it gets to a boil, turn down the heat so that it doesn’t overboil or ruin the bratwurst. If you boil the sausage at a slower, gentler boil, you will have better bratwurst. If you are cooking pre-cooked bratwurst, you just need to heat them up, rather than making sure they are cooked through as you would with raw bratwurst. Grilling the brats will help finish them off and give them a nice flavor. Put them on the grill with a pair of tongs and grill them for 5-10 minutes, turning them over at least once to make sure they cook on both sides. They will be browned from the grill and ready to serve. You can also grill your brats first for 5-10 minutes on each side, and then boil them. If you do this process, boil them for about 20 minutes after grilling. Check the internal temperature of the bratwurst by using a meat thermometer and making sure the brats are about 160 °F (71 °C).

Article in English: Make sure your store has a wide selection of tires represented. People feel more empowered to buy when they’re given a choice. If you’re not carrying the most popular models, there’s nothing to stop potential customers from going to someone who is.  Add a few notable industry leaders to your list of suppliers, including companies like Bridgestone, Goodyear, and Michelin. It’s also a good idea to make several different grades available from each brand, from standard to deluxe. This will allow you to target customers with different needs and budgets. A customer who’s just stopping in might not even know you sell tires if they’re hidden in a back corner of the store. Set up your display near the store’s front entrance so they’ll be visible to everyone entering and exiting. You never know when someone in need of a new set will walk by. Make sure your stock can be seen from the window of your store or dealership to catch the attention of those on the outside. Take some time to educate yourself on important details like sizes and pressure specs, average lifespan, and the function of different tread patterns. That way, you’ll be able to make more informed recommendations to customers who aren’t sure exactly what kind of tire they need. If you’re attempting to get a customer to upgrade to a more expensive tire, be sure to tell them what extra benefits they’ll be getting for the price hike. Most buyers resent feeling like they’re being upsold. Find out what your competitors are charging for the same models and offer to either match it or let it go for less. Tires are an expensive purchase for most people, so anything you can do to keep your prices affordable will be good for your business as well as your customer. Special sale discounts and rebates for buying a certain type of tire at a certain time are also effective ways to entice buyers.  Advertise your deals in print, over the radio, and online through your website to reach the greatest number of drivers possible.  By letting your tires go for a little less, you...

Article in English: Make the appointment as soon as you notice multiple symptoms as listed above. Ensure that you ask many questions while in the doctor's office. Physicians can be busy and accidentally skip over small details. In most instances, your child will have to take antibiotics to kill the bacteria that cause scarlet fever. Penicillin is often prescribed, as is amoxicillin.  If your child is allergic to either of these common antibiotics, Macrolides or Clindamycin are alternatives. Your doctor can tell you which one will work for your child. All medications come with detailed information about how to use them. Don't skip any of the steps or ignore any of the warnings.  Read the instructions carefully, especially the warnings section. You need to know how to tell if your child is allergic to the medication. You also need to know if mixing it with any other medications the child is taking might further sicken him. Be aware of how long the child should take the antibiotics. If the instructions say to take it for ten full days, then ten days it is, no matter if the child protests! Halting the use of the medicine will not rid the child of scarlet fever. Give the appropriate dose. Do not give more or less than what is needed. For instance, don't give your child two pills instead of one in the hopes of ridding him of the illness more quickly. You wouldn't want your child to end up back at the doctor's office.

Article in English: Make the call!  Whether you’ve been meaning to do so for a while now, or the thought just occurred, follow through on the desire to get in touch with someone by giving them a call. Let your friend know you’re wondering what they’re up to, and give them a quick update on your life.  Know that is doesn’t have to be a long call to be meaningful.  Just the sound of one another’s voice will likely be enough to bring a smile to each of your faces, whether from the next neighborhood or across the continent. Schedule a call. If you or a friend can’t speak for long, or you can’t connect on the first try, shoot them a text offering to schedule a call later that day. Get in the habit of keeping up with a far-off friend by maintaining monthly calls at specific times and dates.  If you or a friend are particularly busy, set up calls during daily commutes. Video calls are even better, as they allow you to keep in touch visually as well, and simply provide a greater feeling of togetherness, no matter your actual distance. Several video-chat applications are especially easy to use, as well as freely available.  FaceTime is limited to Apple products, but is literally as easy to use as it is to make a call – the button for FaceTime shows up automatically during your call. Skype is also easy to use, though you must install the program on your phone, tablet, or computer and set up a free account. You can also make audio calls and send text messages through Skype, anywhere you have internet access. Google Hangouts will allow you to video chat with up for ten friends at once. Try to set a standing weekly or monthly date and time to catch up with a group of friends consistently.  Using the text messaging feature, propose themes for each call and plan to wear costumes or share relevant viral videos. You can also use the text-messaging feature to simply remind one another of an upcoming call. Texts are a great way to send someone a quick note, wise-crack, or simple “thinking of you” message. Don’t let the majority of your...

Article in English: Make the rules for your classroom and each exercise very clear and consistent. If a student breaks a rule, handle it immediately in the classroom before moving forward. However, once you’ve made a disciplinary action, don’t dwell on it or you could create additional problems. Also, make sure that any consequences that you assign match the level of the offense committed.  For example, if a student accidentally disrupts a designated “quiet period” this can generally be corrected with a simple verbal warning for a first offense. You can also ask the student to stay after class and speak with you. This is one way to issue a consequence without disrupting your classroom. Some students create problems in a classroom due to sheer boredom or feeling disconnected with the subject or their teacher. Start with giving a challenging student small, personal tasks to complete. Then, over time, give them more difficult and public responsibilities.  For example, you might ask a student to serve as a time-keeper for an in-class exercise. Be aware that this is an option that won't work for every challenging student. If they don't do well at the simple tasks, don't give them more advanced ones. If you show your students that you enjoy their company and value their opinions, then they are far less likely to exhibit challenging classroom behaviors. Make a point of asking your students about their daily lives and personal interests. While staying professional, tell your students information about you in return. For example, you might talk with your students about where they are going for an upcoming break. It’s really easy to lose your cool when faced with a challenging or critical student. Instead, take a deep breath and try to look at their perspective. Ask them to explain their position in further detail. Encourage other students to enter into the discussion. There are many possible reasons why a student might remain silent in your classroom. Encourage them to learn by creating a safe environment for all opinions. Offer a...

Article in English: Make your strengths work for you by determining what they are, and then taking advantage of them. Using what you have going for you is an easy way to achieve your goals, and feel more motivated about the future. For instance, if you know that your ability to talk to anyone is one of your strengths, use it when you are feeling particularly lonely: chat up someone at the grocery store or gym. Keep in your mind the picture of the end result. Seeing an image of what you are working on is excellent motivation to keep going. Whenever you want to quit, ask yourself, do you want to feel the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat? Most likely, you'll want to know what it feels like to achieve your goal.  Spend time every day envisioning your goals. Think about where you are, what you are doing, and how you feel now that your goal has been achieved. Envision this with as much detail as possible. For example, if you are interested in losing weight and gaining more confidence, you would imagine yourself as thinner and healthier. See the foods you eat. Visualize getting sweaty during your workouts. Think about the compliments you'll get from friends and family. Envisioning how you'll feel can help propel you forward and keep you on track. Break major goals down into smaller milestones. Doing so reduces fear, clarifies direction, and increases the probability of early successful outcomes. Buy yourself something nice when you've worked out for a week in a row, or take yourself to dinner when you are half-way to your goal. Celebrating these victories keeps you motivated and helps you feel good about your achievements. Understand that the solution you had in mind may not be the correct one, but there is always another way to solve the problem. Know that there is always a way out, but it is up to you to find it. For example, if you want to go back to school, but can't with a full-time job, consider ways you can cut back hours at work or take online classes. Avoid making excuses like “I'm not in the mood today” or “I need to...

Article in English: Makeup applied correctly can be a good way to camouflage jowls. You can do this by applying foundation as you normally would. Apply highlighter to your jowls using a concealer brush, which will make them less obvious.  Apply a lightweight concealer on top of the highlighting powder to remove some of the shimmer. Finish by applying the rest of your makeup as usual, and finish the look with a setting powder to keep it in place. If you want to, you can look for a foundation that is formulated to plump and hydrate, which will help lines look less obvious. If you are a man, you can easily hide jowls by growing a beard. Beards are very trendy these days, so no one will find it strange if you decide to grow a big beard. If you do grow a beard, be sure to maintain it well to keep it looking neat and fresh. Wearing a turtleneck or a scarf is one way that you could hide your jowls if you feel self-conscious about them. In summer, look for light, flowing scarves so you don’t get too hot. In winter, you can try warm turtlenecks and fluffier scarves if you live somewhere cold.

Article in English: Makeup was big in the '50s, and shades like blue reds were very in. If you want your makeup to resemble someone from the '50s, go for a brick red lipstick that is more on the matte side. You should also add a touch of bright blush to your cheeks, making yourself look slightly flushed. Painted nails were big in the '50s. Colors such as pale pink and peach were popular in the early '50s. In the later '50s, after 1955, the popular color was red. If it's within your budget, try springing for a manicure. You can tell the nail artist you want '50s style nails. The bob was the major look of the 1950s. Stop by a salon and get your hair trimmed into a short, stylish bob to encapsulate the look of the '50s.  Hair could either be capped or curled outward slightly. Capped-styled bobs had all the hair pointing inward towards the head. Curled hair had wavy curls pointed away from the head. If you don't want to cut your hair short, pull your hair into a loose rolled bun near the nape of your neck. This style was called the "chignon" and was popular at the time. The '50s were a more conservative time, so men's hair was generally shorter and more conservative. Go for a classic short hairstyle with a somewhat conservative flare.  You can wear your hair in a side part, a combover, or slick it back. If you're unsure what style would work for you, talk to your stylist. They can recommend a look for you based on 1950s hair.

Article in English: Making decisions about what college you will attend, what your major will be, and what classes you plan to take can be overwhelming. Find someone who is not judgmental and is a good listener. A friend, family member, or teacher can serve as a sounding board to help you work through your thoughts, ideas, and problems.  Try talking to someone who has also gone through similar stress. They will be able to empathize and offer advice that stems from personal experience. Keep in mind that other people may have their own ideas about what career or college major would be best for you. Try to find someone who will ask you questions and help you to explore your options more deeply. Choosing a career path can be stressful, and judgmental, negative people can make the situation worse. Try avoiding people who make judgments about your proposed college, major, or career choice. You should also stay away from people who are negative. For example, if your grandmother is constantly pressuring to attend her alma mater while talking negatively about the school you really want to attend, you should try to limit conversations with her about your college choice. It is important that you take care of yourself while preparing for college. Pay attention to what you eat, and make sure you are properly nourished. You should also make sure to get at least eight hours of sleep each night. Regular exercise should also be a part of your life.  Take time for a relaxing activity each week like walking on a local trail, taking a long bath, or reading a novel. It is especially important to get plenty of sleep. Getting enough sleep can improve your memory, mood, alertness, and thinking.  Try to implement good self-care habits before you begin college. This will help you to start off your college career on the right foot.

Article in English: Making eye contact is the first step to a successful kiss. Once you're been cuddling for a while, or even if you haven't and just feel like kissing, the first step is to make eye contact. Locking eyes will let your boyfriend see that you want to kiss and that you're thinking about his lips. Once you're facing each other and your arms are around each other, it's time to go in for a kiss. You can even lick your lips a bit to soften them without being too obvious about it. That will bring even more attention to your mouth. Now, move closer to your boyfriend and put your hand on his cheek or face. Pull him toward you and continue to lock eyes as you get ready for the kiss. You shouldn't try to French kiss him right away. First, give him a soft, passionate kiss on the lips. Just lean in to kiss his lips, hold your lips there for a second, and then pull away while locking eyes. . Once you're comfortable with soft, gentle kisses, you can start French kissing if you're comfortable with that. Move your tongue slowly into your boyfriend's mouth as he does the same. Then, you can move your tongue around his mouth in a slow, circular motion, or gently move your tongue up and down as you rest it on top of his. If you want to show affection for your boyfriend, you can kiss his neck, his ears, or even the side of his jaw. This will add a nice change of pace to your kissing session, and will make him want to kiss you even more. Just because you're kissing doesn't mean that you should drop your hands and do nothing but kiss. In fact, it means the opposite. You should keep your hands busy while you kiss, so that you and your boyfriend feel more intimate. You can also take breaks between kisses to cuddle.

Article in English: Making eye contact will make you seem confident and attractive and will clearly send the message that you're interested.  Before starting a conversation, try catching his eye, holding eye contact for three seconds, before smiling and looking away. If he's interested he'll smile back and might even approach. During a conversation, make eye contact as much as possible - but remember not to stare! Remember to flash those pearly whites - guys simply cannot resist a girl with a great smile. Smiling makes you seem fun and approachable instead of closed and uptight. The underlying key to all flirtation is confidence. Guys appreciate a girl who is comfortable in her own skin, a girl who's happy and self-assured.  Speak clearly and confidently. This doesn't mean talking over people or interrupting them constantly, but try to speak a little louder than you normally would. Avoid qualifying sentences with too many "like"s and "you know"s. Stand up tall and keep your shoulders back and your head up. You'll immediately look and feel more confident. Dressing well can give you a great deal of confidence and a much-needed ego boost. When you know you're looking good, you will feel much more confident about approaching a guy and starting a conversation with him.  Make sure you've washed your hair, spritzed yourself with perfume and cleverly applied your make-up to accentuate your best features. He may or may not notice - but you certainly will! If you're constantly worrying about your appearance, you won't be able to relax and enjoy the conversation. Engaging in some light flirting definitely helps to capture a boy's attention. Flirting is all about body language. Run your hands through your hair, lightly touch your neck with your hand or keep a hint of a smile playing on your lips. Gently brush against his arm when you're talking to him. He'll soon get the message. Try not to dominate the conversation. Ask plenty of questions and listen carefully to his responses. Listening demonstrates that you are interested in him and in...

Article in English: Making time for each other is a way to say you are committed to each other. Say you will spend a certain time each week with each other, and stick to it. It will also give you a chance to get to know one another again. When you first got together, you were probably partially attracted by the differences the other person exhibited. For instance, maybe you were exhilarated by the fact that he or she was impulsive and loved to be spontaneous. Now, you may find yourself hating the quality. The key is to try to remember why you loved that quality in the first place and move toward enjoying it again. For instance, it may drive you crazy when your spouse wants to drop everything and drive to the mountains. On the other hand, it keeps your life from getting too boring. Try to strike a balance, and enjoy what you can. It is important to acknowledge what is going well in your relationship as well as what has become a struggle. You might even want to make a list of strengths and difficulties together. Make sure that you include things on the list that you avoid talking about because of fears that you will just end up fighting about them.  Try to pick a time to talk about your strengths and difficulties when you are both feeling calm and focused. Avoid talking at the end of a long day or at other stressful times.  Use "I" statements rather than "You" statements. In other words, try to talk about what you're feeling and what you think is wrong without blaming the other person. For instance, saying "I get upset when we don't spend enough time together" is better than "You're never around." The second statement puts your spouse on guard, while the first helps open discussion. Spend time talking and listening. That is, you can't just lay out what you think is wrong. You also need to spend time actively listening to what your spouse has to say. Show you're engaged by offering short summaries of what he or she has said and by asking questions that are relevant to the conversation. Once you've figured out together what issues...

Article in English: Making your car a happy, peaceful place will help keep your road anger at bay. Listen to music that makes you happy or that calms you down. Creating a positive driving environment will help keep you calm during your commute and aid you in ignoring the road rage of others. Listening to audio books is one good way to remain calm during a long commute. Being late will make you anxious and impatient, so you'll be more likely to get angry at other drivers or make irresponsible driving decisions that will make them angry at you. Leaving yourself plenty of drive time will help you stay relaxed. If you begin to clench the steering wheel while driving, wiggle your fingers and then try to hold the wheel with a more relaxed grip. You will retain control of the car, while feeling less tense. If your vehicle has cruise control and road conditions will allow it, using this feature will give your right leg a break and may make you feel less stressed. You should only use cruise control in situations where you can drive safely at the same speed for extended periods of time – use manual control in stop-and-go traffic situations. If you feel yourself getting tense and anxious, take several slow, deep breaths. This should calm you down. Roll your window down every now and then, to let in some fresh air. Whether you are consciously aware of it or not, clutter can cause stressful feelings. Trying to see through a dirty windshield, or struggling to clean a dirty windshield with the wiper fluid every few minutes, will also cause you feel anxious and tense – feelings which can quickly lead to road rage. It's a good idea to pull over if you are feeling symptoms of road rage. Find a safe place to pull over and park, then get out and walk around for a few minutes until you feel more calm.  Never try to pull over on the side of a busy street or highway – continue to the next exit, then find a safe place to stop the car. Try not to drive more than 3 hours at a time. If you are on a long road trip, take a break at least every 3 hours and...

Article in English: Manicures and pedicures are a great trick to take you from glamorous to casual. They feel great, and your boyfriend will notice the difference in the way you look and feel. It's a good idea to make the hands and feet match if you use nail polish. After all, you want to make yourself a consistent, impressive visual package. You can moisturize and manicure your hands at home if your budget's a concern. It can take some time to perfect your skills, but saves lots of money in the long run. A sexy black or fire-engine red are colours that have sex appeal virtually built into them when worn by a woman who knows what she wants. The kind of wardrobe you're wearing shouldn't be completely different from what you're comfortable with, but aiming for suggestive colours can say something on its own. A great deal of sex appeal has to do with what someone is wearing. What you wear in particular will have a lot to do with your personal sense of style. As a general rule however, you should try to find clothing that showcases the natural shape of your body. It's not the clothes your boyfriend's interested in; it's what's underneath that counts. You don't need to dress so provocatively to get a reaction out of someone. Something casual can usually do the trick. It's how you wear it that counts. Nothing changes the frame of someone's face like new hair. A new hairstyle has the ability to transform someone's look. Certain hairstyles fit different types of head better than others, but you r best bet is to pick a style that suits your personality and personal tastes. Look at some of the latest trends in hair. Although you shouldn't try to follow fashion unless it matches your own aesthetic, it can be a helpful refresher if you're not sure how you want to reinvent your look. Ask a hairdresser for her advice if you're stumped.  As a general rule, you want your hair to compliment the shape of your face. If your face is boxy, you may want a wavier hairstyle to even it out. On the other hand, if your hair is round, a short cute style...

Article in English: Manure is a great natural fertilizer for the garden. Use manure from cows, horses, pigs, and dogs. Make sure you age it for six months, as fresh manure is too overpowering for plants. Spread aged manure in a ¼ to ½ inch (0.6-1.27 cm) layer over your garden soil. You can also till it or mix it in by hand.  You can buy aged manure at your local gardening center. Put animal manure in the garden in the fall or winter, before you do any spring planting. Fish guts, bones, and heads are a great source of plant nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, phosphorous acid, and amino acids. You can use fresh guts, bones, and heads from fish like tuna or salmon. Or, freeze fish parts during the year so you can make fish fertilizer in the spring.  Collect fish parts from your own cooking or buy fish parts from your local fish merchant. Combine 1 part fish with 2 parts water in an airtight container. Place it in a sunny spot far from your home to avoid the smell. Stir the mixture every two days for about two weeks. Then, apply the fish fertilizer to your garden. You can also take the aquarium water from your tank and use it to fertilize the garden. Only use fresh water from a fresh water tank, not salt water. Fish fertilizer is particularly good for leafy greens, beets, Brussel sprouts, and broccoli. Worm castings contain beneficial nutrients for the soil. You can buy worm castings from your local gardening store or start a worm farm and make your own. Spread the worm castings over the soil to fertilize it. Add enough worm castings to cover the soil completely in a thin layer.

Article in English: Manx cats can have short or long hair, which will affect how much you need to groom your Manx. If your cat’s fur is short, then you can brush it about once per week. If your cat’s fur is long, then you will need to brush your Manx every day. If your Manx is shedding, then you may need to brush him more often than usual to get rid of excess hair. . Scratching will help to keep your cat’s claws worn down, but you may need to give them a trim now and then to keep them from getting too long. Plan to trim your cat’s claws about once every three weeks.  Trim the white tips of your Manx’s claws. Be careful not to trim the pink area of your cat’s claws or you may hurt your cat. Trim your cat’s nails with a special guillotine style nail trimmer.  Your veterinarian or a cat groomer can also trim your cat’s claws if you are not comfortable doing so yourself. . Just like people, cats are prone to dental health problems. Use a special toothbrush and toothpaste for cats to brush your Manx cat’s teeth once per day. Only use toothpaste that is meant for cats because fluoride is toxic to cats. . Your Manx should be able to keep himself clean, so bathing is not usually necessary. However, if your Manx becomes dirty, then you may want to give him a bath. For example, if your cat smells bad or if she gets something sticky on her, then you may need to give her a bath.

Article in English: Manx cats need regular checkups to stay healthy and keep them up to date on their vaccinations. Take your Manx to see a vet as soon as possible after you get her so that she can get all of the necessary vaccines. At her first veterinary visit, she will get a thorough physical exam and a test for feline leukemia. Make sure to make annual appointments for your Manx and make an appointment if she seems ill as well. If you do not plan to breed your Manx, then you should spay or neuter him to prevent any unwanted kittens and protect your Manx cat’s health. Spaying and neutering is the best way to keep the pet population down, prevent pet homelessness, and it can also protect your Manx from certain diseases and conditions. Cats that are not spayed or neutered may engage in hormonal behaviors such as spraying and fighting.  Spaying and neutering may also protect your cat from certain health issues, such as enlarged prostate, uterine infections, and some forms of cancer. Some Manx cats are born with spinal defects that can cause problems with urination, defecation, and walking. These issues are usually obvious by the time the kitten is six months old, but if these issues are detected then it will be necessary to euthanize the kitten. If you notice that your Manx is not urinating, defecating, or that he is hopping with his back legs instead of walking normally, then take him to see your veterinarian right away.

Article in English: Many California girls have a seemingly effortless beachy hair look from swimming in the ocean all day long. You can create this look at home with a few styling tools, no ocean water necessary.  Start with damp hair, straight out of the shower. Create a rectangle with your hair at the front of your head. Make sure the rectangle extends from the end of one eyebrow to the end of your other eyebrow and four inches back from your hairline. Use volumizer spray on the roots of your hair and blow dry your hair using a round brush. Move the brush straight and upward to create a tousled look. Once you finish drying your hair, use three fingers to twist the rectangle section so it forms a pin curl and pin it with a bobby pin. Let the section cool as you spray sea salt on your hair. Tousle your hair with your fingers. Remove the pin and let the curl fall over your face. Use dry shampoo on the roots of the rectangle section and flip most of the section to one side. This should form a side part that goes from the arch of your eyebrow and angles toward the crown of your head. This is the go to style for many California girls, especially after a long day at the beach when their hair is still damp with salt water. It can also be done at home with the aid of damp hair from a shower and styling mousse.  Apply two dollops of styling mousse to dry hair or start with damp hair. Use your fingers to apply the mousse from the roots of your hair to the ends. Flip your hair over and dry your hair with a blow dryer, using your fingers to roughly blow it out. Dry it until there are no stiff pieces and the mousse is completely dry. If you are using damp hair for this style, you can skip this step. While your hair is still upside down, pull your hair together into a ponytail at the very top of your head. Use a hair tie to secure the ponytail and flip your head back up. Divide the ponytail into two sections and twist each section until they come together. Secure the sections at the base of the ponytail with bobby pins. Finish with a few...

Article in English: Many SUVs are equipped with backup cameras. While this technology allows drivers to see what is behind their vehicles, it should always be used in combination with your side and rearview mirrors. You can use this feature when you are backing into a parking space, straightening your forward 90-degree parking job, or backing out of a parking space. To activate this feature, shift your vehicle into reverse. As you park, straighten, or leave a space, use the monitor and your mirrors to safely execute the task. The process of parking, straightening, and leaving a parking space does not change with the use of the backup camera. SUVs are challenging to park. When the space you intend to park in is flanked on each side by other vehicles, the challenge increases. Minimize your risk of damaging other vehicles and your SUV by parking on the outskirts of lots or the top floors of a structures. Backing out of a parking spot in an SUV is very difficult—SUVs have several blind spots. It is always safer to pull out of a spot because you can clearly see oncoming traffic, pedestrians, and other potential obstacles. When you have the option, always back into a parking space or pull through a parking space. Like all cars, SUVs have blind spots. Unlike small vehicles, however, an SUV’s blind spots are much larger. When parking, use your mirrors to compensate for your SUV’s blind spots.

Article in English: Many abstract reasoning tests are timed. Before you start your test, evaluate the amount of time you have and the number of questions you need to answer. Set a time limit for each question. This will prevent you from spending too long on difficult-to-answer questions.  If, for example, you have 30 minutes to complete a 30 question test, your time limit would be a minute per question. You may even bump that down to 45 seconds per question so that you have time to review at the end. Don’t stress about the ones you skip. Once you’ve finished answering the questions that come easier to you, you will be able to go back and tackle the hard ones with your extra time. Abstract reasoning tests can seem difficult because they ask you to use skills you don’t engage every day. Immediately before you start your test, take a few deep breaths, and remind yourself that you have prepared. If you find yourself particularly frustrated with a question, take a deep breath in and skip it. Start the next question with a clear mind, and come back to the difficult question later. Before the timer starts on your test, you will typically be given a set of instructions. These may outline how to select answers, how to navigate the testing software or website, and how to submit your test. Read these fully and completely before you start the clock. Knowing what to expect from the test interface will help you focus on the test itself, rather than worrying about software navigation or how to submit your results.

Article in English: Many airports around the world have wrapping services in them where you can get your bag wrapped in plastic. Once you get to the airport, locate the bag wrapping service, tell an employee that you would like your bag wrapped and pay them for their service.  If you plan on using one of these services, be sure to give yourself some extra time to find the kiosk and to have your bag wrapped. In a large airport the bag wrapping area can be far away from your airline's check-in desk or security. In general, the fee for having your bag wrapped can vary anywhere from a few dollars to $20 (US). One of the biggest perks of having your bag wrapped by a company at the airport is that most of them guarantee that your bag will be wrapped again if the plastic needs to be cut off to be inspected. Instead of plastic wrap, some people choose to put locks on their bags to secure them. This will deter theft by making the bag harder to open. While locks don't make the whole bag harder to take, they do make the bag harder to get into quickly. There are TSA-approved locks for luggage that allow security agents to open them but are otherwise locked. These are typically available at travel stores or from online retailers. One of the best ways to keep thieves from getting into your bag is to not let it out of your sight. Don't leave it unattended or have a stranger watch it, as this is the perfect time for a thief to get to it. Most airports have large bathroom stalls and large aisles in stores to accommodate you bringing your luggage with you wherever you go. If you are fearful that your checked bag will get rifled through, consider using a carry-on bag instead. With a carry on you can keep an eye on your bag better and it is less likely to get damaged as well.  When you put your carry-on bag in the overhead bin, put the zipper opening toward the back side of the bin. This measure with ensure that a thief cannot get into your bag without pulling it out. Be sure to board your plane in plenty of time to get the overhead spot right...

Article in English: Many alternative health practitioners and DIY beauty fans believe that the following oils stimulate hair growth, but scientific research is still needed to prove that they really work:  Castor oil is one of the most commonly recommended oils for promoting thicker, fuller lashes. Try to buy a natural and hexane-free brand of castor oil. Cedarwood oil is a stimulator that promotes hair growth.  Coconut oil contains lauric acid, which can help boost hair health and growth by preventing protein loss. Extra virgin olive oil has moisturizing and antibacterial properties that can help you achieve thicker, fuller lashes.  Jojoba oil has long been praised as a natural hair growth remedy. It has been proven to moisturize and nourish hair, and may stimulate growth.  Moroccan argan oil is full of antioxidants, and moisturizes and nourishes your hair.  Rosemary oil stimulates your hair’s roots, improves hair growth, and increases circulation.  Vitamin E oil can be taken as a supplement or applied externally to promote hair growth. A popular growth serum recipe is to combine 1/2 tsp of coconut oil with 2 to 4 drops of lavender essential oil. You can even mix these in the palm of your hand. If you want to make more, use the same ratio in larger quantities, and store the mixture in an air-tight container, away from light. Ensure that it is clean of makeup or any other debris/dirt. Gently wash your eye area with your hands, being careful not to rub or apply too much pressure to your eyes and eyelashes. Essential oils can irritate your eyes, so be careful that none of the oils drip into your eyes during application. If they do, rinse your eyes out with cool, clean water. To rinse your eyes, fill your hands or a basin with cool or lukewarm water and lean down to place your eye into the water. Open and close your eye repeatedly, release the water from your hand, and repeat as needed until your eye feels flushed. Be sure to clean your eyes well the next day so that your pores and glands don’t become clogged. Remember to be gentle...

Article in English: Many argue that respect is equal to love in fostering growth and strengthening the bonds of a relationship. Your relationship will only continue to flourish when you make your partner feel respected. Respecting your partner's differences means:  Demonstrating an understanding that his/her opinions, thoughts, ideas, and beliefs may be different from your own Showing an interest in his/her unique opinions Validating his/her opinions even if you do not agree with them Use the conflict that you and your partner face as a tool that deepens your bond. If you do this, you will come to welcome conflict because you see it as a way to bring the two of you closer. Once you have hashed out your differences and come to a mutual agreement about an issue, don't hesitate to turn up the dial on laughter, affection, and warmth. Rejoice in the idea that you successfully overcame conflict. If you and your mate can't seem to come to agreement or even agree to disagree about a problem, it may be wise to seek professional counseling.  This would be an option for an issue that one or both of you deems significant to the health of the relationship. One that, if not overcome, can create long-term discord between you. Seeking professional help can equip you with the appropriate communication and problem-solving skills to handle bigger issues that arise in your relationship over time.

Article in English: Many autistic people relax their facial features when their mind is busy. This may include a faraway gaze, a slightly open mouth, and a general lack of expression.   Lining up objects is a common activity for autistic people when lost in thought. Some autistic people assume this expression by default when they are focusing on listening to someone. If an autistic person is staring into space by themselves, assume they are deep in thought. They can still hear you (but get their attention first if you want them to listen). Eye contact can be distracting or painful for autistic people, so they may look at your shirt, your hands, the space next to you, their hands, et cetera. Their eyes may be unfocused during this time. This is usually because their brain is focusing on your words.  If you think they may be zoning out, try saying their name, verbally getting their attention, or gently waving your hand in front of their eyes (if nothing else works). Stimming can help with self-calming, focus, and feeling good in general. If an autistic person is stimming while talking to you, assume that it enhances rather than detracts from their focus.  Autistic people may suppress their stims out of fear of criticism around someone they don't know or trust. Thus, if an autistic person stims openly around you, this means that they probably trust you and feel safe around you. If an autistic person stims around you, it often means that they trust you to let them be themselves. It also has meaning depending on the situation. It may be an expression of emotion, a way to reduce stress or overload, a focusing aid, or something else. Here are ways to get hints.    Facial expressions—Stimming while smiling usually means something different from stimming while frowning.  Words and sounds—What they say, or the sounds they make (crying, giggling, etc.) can give clues towards their feelings.  Context—A woman who waves her arms when shown a puppy is probably excited, while if she is waving her arms and whining while working on a difficult...

Article in English: Many celebs do meet-and-greets as part of promotions for projects, conventions, and fan appreciation events. Check your favorite celebrities’ official website, their authorized fan sites, and schedules for conventions like Comic-Con and VidCon to see if they are scheduled to make an appearance near you any time soon. When you look for scheduled appearances, make sure you get all the facts before you go. Check to see if you need to buy a pass or a ticket, and verify that there will be a signing or meet-and-greet, not just an onstage appearance or panel discussion. If possible, look for smaller events, and those with tickets or reservations. These increase your chance of getting some face-to-face time with your celeb. Concerts at local music venues, book readings, and lectures are great events to increase your odds of running into the feature celebrity. Many celebrities like getting to interact with their fans. Scheduled appearances often have some attached rules, though, that can’t be disregarded. Some celebs, for example, refuse to sign autographs, and showing up with a pen and autograph book could get you kicked out. Check the ticketing website or the ticket, itself, to see what is and is not allowed. Always follow directions for an event. You don’t want to miss an opportunity to see your favorite celeb just because you got caught trying to do something that wasn’t allowed. This is true of meeting in person, but it’s especially true if you want to talk to a celeb online. They get thousands of messages, posts, and other things directed at them a day, and they don’t have time to see all of them. Keep retweeting, tagging, and messaging, and be patient. You don’t want negative attention because you were too aggressive or rude in your communication.  Remember to keep a personal connection in your online communication. The more of a personal touch your messages or comments have, the more likely they are to get a response. If you see a celebrity in person and they let you know they don’t have time to talk, respect...
