Article in English: If you are teaching in the US, determining if your state follows Common Core State Standards or not is an instrumental step to lesson plan objective creation. Some states follow all standards, others follow only the English Language Arts & Literacy portion, and a few do not follow Common Core at all. Follow your state's lead and promote the current philosophical teaching practice. Whether your location adheres to the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) or some other organization's standards, utilize the accepted guidelines to ensure your objectives are professional, holistic, and support common standards. Local students may require specific types of instruction. Question local leaders, administrators, and peers regarding and school requirements exterior to aforementioned practices and standards.

Article in English: If you are the sole tenant on the lease and you are not married, you have the right to make the decision. In fact, if her name is not on the lease you may be violating your lease altogether. However, if both of your names are on the lease, she has every right to remain in the home. If she does not have the legal right to remain in the home, consider giving her a written request to leave. This can be done by you or your landlord. The request should give a moving deadline.  If she does have rights to stay (e.g. she is on the lease), you might still consider giving her a written request to leave. This will give you proof of an exact date that she was asked to leave if things go to court. Most states require you to give a certain amount of notice when you ask someone to move out, such as 30 days. Follow your state's eviction laws to ensure things go smoothly and you don't run into legal trouble down the line. If your girlfriend is abusive or you fear she will become violent, aggressive, or retaliate against you, then you need to protect yourself. It may be best for you to give your girlfriend a formal eviction notice and stay somewhere else temporarily while she moves out. You may also need to contact the police or request a temporary restraining order against your girlfriend. Make sure you are never alone with your girlfriend and change the locks once she has moved out. If you have followed all of the previous steps but she is still unwilling to move you can go to the police. They may evaluate the lease agreement and make a determination themselves. Or, you may have to go to court to settle the dispute. This should only be used as a last resort. If she is on the lease or deed, the police are unlikely to remove her from the house.

Article in English: If you are thinking about dying by suicide, make it more difficult to enact by getting rid of anything that you could use to kill yourself.  This might include firearms, knives, ropes, or pills. If you can't throw out the pills because you need them, give them to a trusted family member or friend who can dish them out to you only as prescribed. Write down everything you can think of that fills you with joy, or that you have a memory of associating with joy and love. This could be the names of your family members, your pets, your favorite sport, your favorite author, your most beloved films, the foods that remind you of childhood, a place that feels like home, the stars, the moon, or the sun. If it's good, write it down.  Include things you love about yourself. Write down the traits that are most special to you, including physical traits, personality traits, and so on. Write down what you've accomplished. Write down times you were proud of yourself. Include things you're looking forward to. Write down where you someday hope to live, what you plan to create, a job you want to try, children you might have, a partner you might find. What has helped to convince you not to take your life in the past? Write it down. Any distraction is a good distraction if it gets you further away from harming yourself. Having a list to turn to when your mind feels too bogged down to remember what to do is going to come in handy in the future. Here are a few ideas:  Call a friend to talk. Eat a healthy meal. Go for a walk or get some exercise. Paint, write or read. Include the names and phone numbers of at least five people, in case someone isn't available when you need to call. Include the names of friends, family members, and acquaintances who are likely to pick up the phone and help.  Include the names of trusted counselors, psychiatrists, and support group members.

Article in English: If you are trying to get over a narcissist, it may surprise you when months or even years later the person still seems to have an impact on your life. Recovering from a narcissistic relationship takes time. There is no precise window to allow for healing. Don’t add insult to injury by being hard on yourself for not healing fast enough. Recovery can take a long time. It's OK to heal at your own pace. A lot of emotions and mental processes may follow a breakup with a narcissist. Don’t fight off these emotions. Allow yourself to fully feel them. You might experience sadness, anger, and even shame for not seeing all the red flags about this person. Give yourself permission to grieve, but don't get lost in your grief. Instead, try  mindfulness by noticing your thoughts, labeling the feelings, and recognizing how they manifest in your body. Feel them and then let them go. Non-stop judgment and self-doubt may have been partly what made you attractive to the narcissist in the first place. In order to get over this person and minimize your chances of entering another similar relationship, you will need to stop judging yourself. Resist the urge to call yourself “stupid” or criticize your inability to see the narcissist’s true nature. Remember even if you “feel” stupid, it doesn’t mean you are. Feelings are not facts. A major part of recovery from a narcissistic relationship is self-care. When you were in the relationship with the narcissist, you may have felt like the person never truly supported you or cared for your emotional needs. Now is the time to feel that void by pouring all that love and support into yourself. Self-care can be anything that helps you feel relaxed and nourished. Try creating a routine of journaling, lighting a scented candle, and playing soft music. Or, pick up a new hobby, learn how to bake, or plant flowers in your garden. Do whatever makes you feel good. Many others have had to recover after dating or even marrying a narcissist. You can get through this by reaching out to them. Try joining a...

Article in English: If you are trying to improve your willpower, it’s likely that your lack of impulse control is adversely affecting some area of your life.  Some people struggle with willpower across their lives, while others have one specific “weakness” when it comes to willpower.  Determine the area you would like to improve; if you have several different areas to improve, you may want to address one at a time.  For example, you may find it difficult to have willpower when it comes to eating.  This can affect your overall health and quality of life. For example, you might have difficulty with controlling your spending habits, making it difficult to save money for “big” or important items or events. Create your own scale for evaluating your willpower. You might make it a 1-10 scale, where 1 is a complete indulgence in the exact thing(s) you are trying to avoid, and 10 is a stoic adherence to strict rules you’ve set for yourself.  Or you can make a simpler scale of “none, a little, more, a lot.”  The scale can take on different forms, but it offers an opportunity for you to evaluate yourself.  For example, if you find yourself hoarding sweets and sneaking to the fast food drive-thru window every day, you may give yourself a 1 or 2 on a 1-10 scale. If you impulse-buy items that you do not really need because they are on sale, or if you shop online and spend money on things you don’t really need just because you’re bored, you might give yourself a “none” on a shopping-restraint willpower scale. The first step towards self-improvement is setting a goal for change.  Your goal should be clear, specific, and attainable. If a goal is too vague or not measurable, it will be difficult to determine whether you’ve met or made progress towards your goal.  For example, a too-vague goal related to impulsive eating is “eat healthier.”  Healthier is relative, and it will be difficult to know when you have arrived at “healthier.”  A more concrete goal could be “lose 40 pounds through healthy eating,” “fit into a size 8 dress again,” or even...

Article in English: If you are trying to reveal your natural beauty, stay away from the makeup cabinet. Let your body speak for itself. Using natural products and creating a healthy lifestyle may make these products unnecessary in your daily routine. The quickest way to dry out your skin is by losing moisture during showering. Use warm, but not hot water. Use all natural soaps or cleansers only. Keep the bathroom door closed to keep moisture in the air. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel rather than rubbing. Your skin accumulates dirt and sediments throughout the day. Splash water on your skin and use a towel to pat it dry before you go to sleep. This will help your skin retain its natural oils. This is a natural way to make your skin softer. Get a small spoonful of raw honey and rub it between your fingers. Apply it to your face and leave it for 5-10 minutes. Wash away the honey with warm water and pat your skin dry to retain the moisture. This part of your body is often drier and more stretched than the rest of your skin. This means elbows and knees probably have more dead skin cells. Cut the orange in half and rub it on your elbows and knees. This should help revitalize your skin and remove dead skin cells, making it look brighter. This is a simple and natural way to keep the skin on your face smooth and bright. It is simple to do, and should make your blackheads go away within a couple weeks. You will apply egg whites to your face, letting it dry before adding the next layer. See this guide for a more detailed description of the process. Shampoo often strips your hair and scalp your body’s natural oils. Some may need to use shampoo to create a texture that they prefer. However, if you are trying to unveil your body’s natural beauty, use only water and rinse your hair thoroughly to clean it. You will soon find that your body is capable of regulating your hair hygiene without the aid of chemicals. You might even consider not shaving your legs, since many men and women have more or less unnoticeable leg hair, or often wear...

Article in English: If you are under 18, this method will require that you fake a note from your parents or guardians saying you have to go to the doctor. If you’re not comfortable forging a note and a signature, consider a different method.   Be sure that the note  includes the date begins with the phrase “Please excuse ___(your name)___...” says exactly when you need to leave explains specifically where you are going (to the orthodontist, the optometrist, etc.) says you’re not coming back that day has your parent or guardian’s signature at the bottom is free of spelling and grammatical errors (so that it’s clear an adult wrote it) is a tiny bit crumpled as if it’s been in your backpack   Note that this method doesn’t really work unless you can drive yourself home. If you have to have someone come pick you up, the jig will be up! Depending on your school, the consequences for turning in a forged note may be pretty severe.  Some schools will give you detention, suspend you, or in extreme cases, even expel you. Think hard about whether it’s worth the risk! Depending on why you need to leave school early, it’s possible that your parents or guardians might write the note for you, so consider asking them before you go to the trouble of faking the note. It will seem more believable if you hand in the note right away. Follow your school’s policies for doing so. You may need to give the note to your homeroom teacher or turn it in in the principal's office. If your note said that you were leaving early to go to the orthodontist, be careful not to slip up and say you have an eye appointment this afternoon! Stick with minimal details, and you are less likely to get caught. When it reaches the time your note said you had to leave, raise your hand and remind your teacher that you have to go.  Pack your bags and leave without causing a ruckus. The more you can fly under the radar, the better!  Act as casual as possible. People will suspect that you’re lying if you make a big fuss out of leaving.

Article in English: If you are upgrading your motherboard in order to use a new CPU, you'll want to do this first before proceeding. Remove all of the components and cables from your old motherboard, and then remove it from the case. Install the new motherboard in the case, using new standoffs if necessary.  Click here for detailed instructions on installing a new motherboard. Double-check that you are grounded before removing your new processor from the packaging. An electrostatic discharge can easily fry the processor, making it worthless. Touch a metal water tap again if you aren't sure. Be sure to grip it by the edges and avoid touching any pins or contacts. Depending on the processor and socket you are using, you may have several notches around the edges or a small triangle in one corner. These guides are designed to ensure that you are installing your CPU in the correct position. After ensuring that you have the processor oriented correctly, gently place the processor directly in the socket. Do not insert it at an angle. You should never need to force the processor into place. If you apply pressure, you may bend or break the pins, rendering the processor inoperable. once the processor has been properly inserted, close the socket cover over it and relatch it so that the processor is securely held in place. Before installing the CPU cooler, you'll want to apply a thin layer of thermal paste to the top of the CPU. This helps conduct heat from the processor to the CPU cooler by removing any imperfections on the contact surfaces.  Click here for a detailed guide on applying thermal paste. This process will vary depending on the type of cooler you are installing. Stock Intel coolers connect to the motherboard using four prongs, while stock AMD coolers are installed at an angle in metal tabs. Make sure to plug the CPU cooler into the CPU_FAN connector on your motherboard. This will provide power to the cooler's fan. Before closing up your computer, make sure everything that you detached in order to reach the CPU has been properly...

Article in English: If you are used to keeping your thoughts and feelings to yourself, try speaking up more often. Maybe you don't open up because that also means opening yourself up to being teased or rejected, but by being more open, your relationship with this girl can become more intimate, and love thrives on intimacy. You don't have to tell her every little thing about yourself right away, but you should work on being more open and telling her things you don't normally tell anyone. This will show her that you love her and that she stands out from the rest.  Being open relates to being honest. Though you don't have to tell her about how you saw a cute girl walking by that day, you should be as honest as you can without needlessly hurting her. If she's opening up to you a lot and you don't give her a lot to work with, then she may feel like you're not as invested in the relationship. Of course, some guys are a lot less open than others, but you should work on being as open as you can with her while still feeling like you're being yourself. Get to know her. Show her that you're interested in who she is as a person, what she's thinking, and what she's been up to. You don't have to interrogate her to make her feel like you really care about her. When you're together, ask her how her day went. Ask about her plans for the next day. When you really get to know each other, ask her about her plans for the future. Here are some other things you can ask her about to let her know you love her:  Her passions Her friendships Her family Her worries and fears Her goals Her everyday life If you want to love a girl, then you have to let her know she is loved. This doesn't mean you have to compliment her every five seconds, or it will begin to feel like you're not being sincere. Instead, just giving her a few meaningful and unique compliments can be much more effective than giving her so many compliments that she doesn't even hear them anymore. Work to compliment a unique aspect of her personality or her looks, or something else about her....

Article in English: If you are using a pedigree to trace lineage, you should start with a specific person or animal and trace backwards. That pedigree also has additional information you can use, such as the person or animal's date of birth. Most animal husbandry pedigree charts are made for dogs and horses that are pure bred. This means that the animal's ancestors were all the same breed or variety of animal. In order to identify the parents of your main subject on a family tree that is oriented vertically, trace the vertical line moving up off that person. It should go up a short ways and then connect to a bracket that attaches to a female and male. This female and male are the subject's parents. They should be connected to each other with a horizontal line that signifies that they had a reproductive relationship. On a pedigree that is oriented horizontally you will look for a horizontal line that is connected to a bracket that is coming off of your subject. This bracket will connect to the subject's parents. After you have identified the main person or animal you are looking at, you can see who their siblings are by looking at other subjects who are also connected to the parents. Go backwards from the parents and see what other subjects they are connected to in the same way as they are connected to your original subject. These are the original subject's siblings. Look for vertical lines coming off the parents that are connected to brackets that connect to a male and female. This male and female are the grandparents of your original subject. Above these grandparents will be their parents, your subject's great grandparents. You can continue to look back generations for as far as the pedigree allows you to. Explore other ancestral connections. For every generation you trace back there are a variety of relatives in addition to grandparents. For example, look at the subject's grandparents. Their siblings should be next to them on the pedigree. These people are the grand uncles and grand aunts of your original subject. One of the...

Article in English: If you are visiting the park with young children who are not yet confident swimmers, make sure that they have a life-saving device. Some parks will offer this free of charge, but remember to find out before you arrive. This will stop children feeling anxious if they get lost. Remember your phones will be in the locker room, so a designated meeting spot is critical. If you jump straight back into the pool after eating, you might get a stomach cramp or feel nauseous. Give your body some time to digest your lunch and only go onto rides once your food has settled. This might also be a good time to relax in the wave pool or enjoy less strenuous activities. If the park is outside, it is important to apply sunblock regularly to avoid getting burnt and nothing will ruin your day more than getting burnt. A waterproof sunblock is best, but even this should be reapplied throughout the day, especially after body slide rides. It might be easy to forget that you need to drink lots of liquid when you're surrounded by water, but this is really important. Drinking lots of fluid will ensure that you don't get dehydrated. It is a good idea to pack water, fruit juice or juicy snacks like watermelons and oranges.

Article in English: If you are within reach of the ocean, head down to the beach for the day. Throw a frisbee around, go for a swim, have a surf or a bodyboard, play beach soccer, or have a barbecue. Often low-key hangs at the beach create the best memories. Take a camera along with you to capture the fun times. If you don’t live near the beach, take a trip to a local river or lake instead. if you want to let off some steam. Find a big open field and bring some balls that aren’t too heavy. Mark out the boundaries and begin the game. To win you simply need to hit all the opposing players with balls and avoid getting hit yourself. Invite as many friends as you like - the more the merrier!  Choose someone to be a referee. This will help to stop arguments about the rules. A good way to help keep people safe is to tell everyone that headshots don’t count as kills. If you don’t like dodgeball, play soccer or basketball instead. Who says you have to be a kid to go to the playground? Hanging out at the playground can be a fun and goofy way for you and your guy friends to pass the time, especially if you haven’t been there in a while. Wait until most of the younger kids have left and then have fun going on the swings, slides, or playing lava tag. Lava tag is just like regular tag except that the ground is lava and the only safe places to run are the playground equipment. Manhunt puts an exciting spin on the ordinary game of hide and seek tag. Wait until the sun starts to set and designate one person to be “it.” Then, have the rest of the people hide and have “it” count to 20 before they start looking for everyone. Once you get tagged you join the person who is in on the manhunt. Keep playing until everyone has been tagged.  The winner is the last person to be tagged. Decide what the boundaries are before you start playing the game. Play in your backyard or at a local park.

Article in English: If you are worried about your job or your performance, you may feel overwhelmed and anxious.  While some things are within your control, other things are not.  Take a step back and assess the situation before reacting.  Are you concerned about the future of your job?  What things are within your control, and what things are not?  Focus on what you can control, rather than worrying about the things you can't.  For example, think about a recent change in upper management.  While this may change things about work, focus on what you can do to make the company and your work stronger. Are you stressed about how others view your work?  Are you fearful that you'll not meet expectations?  Think about if it is pressure that you've put on yourself.  For example, you think that taking a 45-min lunch looks bad if you see other co-workers working through their lunch.  Think about what is company policy.  If you're allowed an hour-long lunch each day, avoid feeling anxious about this right. Look at what has worked in the past.  Identify projects, people, or situations that help to ease your worry at work.  Make sure to talk with trusted co-workers about any concerns you have about your job.  Other people can be more objective about your situation. Feelings of sadness, anxiety, or anger may be triggered when a difficult situation triggers negative thoughts.  You may feel out of control emotionally when those negative thoughts become intrusive and persistent.  Identify when negative thoughts occur.  For example, after giving a presentation at work, you notice that more people are engaged in listening to your co-worker's presentation than yours.   You then have a negative thought to yourself, "I'll never be as good at presentation as my co-worker." The negative thought triggers negative feelings.  In this example, you may feel sad, depressed, and rejected. Learn to replace and challenge these negative thoughts with more positive thoughts.  Instead say to yourself, "I'm glad that I have this presentation.  I'm happy with the...

Article in English: If you aren't able to see the little bugs, look out for curling leaves. Black cherry aphids leave behind secretions that infect the twigs and leaves of cherry blossom trees. Treat the tree with insecticide to remove the aphids. If you see small growths on the joints or branches (usually light brown in color), your tree may be suffering from black knot fungus. Remove the affected branches to prevent the disease from spreading to the rest of the tree. To control fungal diseases, soak your pruning tools in alcohol after using them on an infected plant or tree.

Article in English: If you aren't caricaturing a live subject, pick a large photograph of your subject. Ensure that the reference photo is crisp and has good lighting. You should be able to easily see the definition in your subject's face. If you're caricaturing yourself, ask someone to take a photo of you instead of taking a selfie. Holding the camera close to your face for a selfie will cause distortion which makes it hard to see your actual likeness. Take your favorite drawing pencil and begin sketching the basic head shape of your subject on a large piece of paper. Then fill in the other shapes that form your subject's face, such as their eyes, nose, and mouth. Work quickly and keep the drawing basic. Creating a rough outline for your thumbnail sketch will make it easier for you to emphasize some shapes and fill in details. You may already know which elements you want to exaggerate as you sketch or you might not know yet. Observe the things that make your subject unique and sketch them onto the basic head shape you created. Fill in basic outlines such as the hair and jawline. Look at your subject and pick 1 or 2 features that immediately jump out at you. For example, a person's eyes might droop down noticeably or their lips might be incredibly plump. Once you know the features to exaggerate, make them a little more extreme so they really stand out. For example, if you're caricaturing Barack Obama, you might choose to exaggerate his ears, chin, or forehead. See how far you can push the exaggeration when you sketch the 1 or 2 features you're going to emphasize. Keep in mind that you'll probably have to downplay other features so the exaggerated features fit. Don't be afraid to erase or start over if things aren't working out.  For example, for your Barack Obama sketch, start by drawing a large forehead. Then, instead of making the eyes higher and larger near the forehead, keep them small and lower on the face. This will make the forehead stand out even more. Go back and sketch glasses or accessories after you've finished...

Article in English: If you aren't going to skate too much, then you don't really need them unless you're just in it for style.  Skate shoes resemble casual style sneakers, but are more expensive. Chances are, you will find a pair of casual sneakers that look similar to skate shoes and be able to spend less money. Consider that skate shoes may be more durable in the long run, but casual shoes might be more comfortable if you aren’t actually skating. Your skating style might be better for one type of shoe vs. another.   If you do more board tricks like ollies, grinds and slides, then you will need a more flexible shoe with a thinner sole, like vulcanized shoes. If you want to do jumps such as aerials you will need something with a thicker sole and heel protection for impact, such as shoes with cupsoles. Make sure your shoe is durable enough for your style of skating. If you are doing minor board tricks, you might not need as strong a shoe as someone doing more elaborate tricks. If you skate often, an expensive well-made shoe will last much longer than a cheaper alternative.  The right skate shoes can save you from a foot injury if you land wrong while skating. Try the shoes on for comfort. If your feet don't feel supported or if the shoes rub your feet too much, try a different size or a different brand. If you aren’t skating often, you might be able to go with a cheaper shoe, especially if you aren’t doing aerials or complicated board tricks.

Article in English: If you aren’t currently seeking help for your anxiety, then you should do so. While you can manage anxiety and your anxiety related procrastination on your own, medical and mental health professionals can provide you with effective treatment, support, and information.  You can check with your school counselor or the human resources representative at your job for references for professionals. Talk to your physician about your feelings of anxiety. For example, you could try saying, “Could I schedule an appointment to talk about some anxiety I’ve been having?” If you are currently receiving treatment, talk to your service provider about techniques you can use to overcome your procrastination. You might ask your therapist, “Are there strategies I can use when my anxiety is causing me to procrastinate?” You will be able to handle your anxiety and your anxiety related procrastination if you use strategies to reduce your stress and calm you. There is a respectable amount of research that suggests that using coping techniques like mindfulness meditation and deep breathing can reduce anxiety.  Practice taking slow, deep breaths. Inhale slowly and deeply. Hold the breath for a beat or two. Slowly and deeply exhale. Repeat these steps as many times as needed to reduce your anxiety. Try mindfulness techniques to center yourself and calm down when you feel your anxiety building. Being mindful, or aware of yourself, can help you cope with the physical and emotional symptoms of your anxiety. Practice doing stretches and other physical activities like yoga to help reduce some of the anxiety you feel. One of the best things you can do to cope with your anxiety is to let your friends and family support you. People that care about you can provide support, encouragement, or just a listening ear to help you beat your anxiety related procrastination.   Tell the people close to you that you’re struggling with anxiety related procrastination and need their support. You might say something like, “Mom, I’m having trouble finishing my...

Article in English: If you aren’t happy with the search results, or if you have a more specific idea of what you are searching for, you can try Google Scholar’s advanced search options.  These options allow you to do things like search for results within a certain date range, find results in a certain language, order the results from most recent to oldest, and look for articles written by a particular author or published in a particular journal.  You can access the advanced search options in a few ways: by clicking the downward-pointing arrow at the right edge of the search box when you first pull up the Google Scholar page, or by using the menu to the left of the search results to filter them after you have already begun your research. For example, if you are interested in what has been written about Vietnamese culture since 2016, you can enter ‘Vietnamese Culture’ in the Google Scholar search box, then click “Since 2016” on the left-hand menu once the service pulls up the search results. Google Scholar, like the regular Google Search engine, is designed to be used intuitively, simply by entering the key terms of what you are interested in. However, you can run a more precise search by coupling your search terms with Boolean connectors. For instance:  Entering a minus sign (“-”) before a search term will eliminate it from the results. For instance, if you are researching Vietnamese culture but do not want to find results related to the Vietnam War, searching for ‘Vietnamese culture -war’ will stop Google Scholar from giving results that use the key term “war.” By typing OR (must be capitalized) between search terms, Google Scholar with retrieve results containing either term. If you are interested in the culture of both Vietnam and Thailand, you can search for ‘Vietnam OR Thailand culture’. Google Scholar allows users to run more precise searches by entering other text instructions into the search bar. Familiarizing yourself with these can help you find more relevant sources. Some of the most common commands include:  Searching...

Article in English: If you become a victim of learned helplessness, then you’ll believe that you won’t ever be able to succeed because the world is pitted against you. People who are victims of learned helplessness believe that they’ll never get anywhere because they haven’t had good results in the past. If you want to be able to deal with adversity, then you have to learn to embrace new opportunities instead of thinking that you’re destined to fail.  A person who has fallen victim to learned helplessness will believe something like, “Well, I haven’t gotten the last five jobs I interviewed for, so this must mean that I’ll just never be able to find a job. There must be something wrong with me, or finding jobs is all about networking anyway, so I might as well not even bother if I keep failing.” A person who wants to take control of her destiny will work on thinking positively and feeling like she has the power to change the situation. She’ll believe something like, “Even though the last five interviews haven’t worked out for me, I should be encouraged by the fact that hiring managers are interested in me at all. If I just keep sending out my resume and going on interviews, I know I’ll find a great job eventually.” Another way to deal with adversity is to find a mentor you trust who can help you deal with the more difficult challenges in life. Having a person who has been through what you’re going through or who has found a way to succeed in your field can help you feel more confident about continuing to go after what you want. Talking to another person can give you more advice and perspective on your situation, and can also help you feel encouraged. Plus, it’s likely your mentor has dealt with his or her fair share of challenges and setbacks. Hearing about these will help you want to keep going, too. In addition to having a mentor you trust, having a strong social network can help you stay strong during a time of great need. Having friends to rely on, family members who love and care about you, and being part of a strong...

Article in English: If you begin with a subtle color in the central room, then you can paint bold colors in the nearby rooms without them clashing. Otherwise, you might find your rooms seem to be working against each other rather than creating a cohesive look.  Try a soft grey, a cream, or pale tan, for instance. An alternative option is to pick a bold color you like, and put that in the room you want it in. Then move out from there, picking colors that coordinate throughout your house. Since you went with a neutral color in your main room, you can get a bit crazier as you move outward. However, keep the line of sight in mind. For instance, if you can see from your dining room into your living room (the neutral room) and then into the hallway, you should probably pick coordinating colors for the dining room and hallway. For example, if you choose a periwinkle for your dining room, you might pick a light peach for the hallway, since those are complementary colors. Pick the type of coordination that you like the best and apply it to your color scheme. For instance, if you love blues, then you might try a monochromatic scheme featuring different hues of blue. If you like bright, bold colors, try using complementary colors. For a rainbow effect, opt for analogous colors through your house. For instance, for an analogous scheme, you might paint one room pale yellow, the next one pale peach, and the next one pale pink. When picking colors, make sure that you apply these schemes in rooms that you can see through to the next one. Similarly, even if you can't see much of 1 bedroom from the one next to it, you still want to apply a color wheel scheme to help the house feel more cohesive.  This is especially true if you have an open concept house. With separate floors, you can use different schemes if you'd like, as the stairway creates a separation.

Article in English: If you believe that your stalker is nonviolent and will back down with confrontation, you might try speaking to him directly. Telling the person who is stalking you that you are not interested in any kind of relationship with him might make him back off.  Consider having another person present to help protect you in case of escalation to violence and to act as a witness to the conversation. However, don't ask your boyfriend to help you, as one or both of the men could become upset by the other's presence. Instead, ask a friend or relative to be there for you.  Try not to be too nice with your rejection. Being nice to a stalker can unwittingly encourage him, and he may try to “read between the lines” and listen to your tone rather than your words. If you believe that your stalker is nonviolent and will back down with confrontation, be sure to tell him that a relationship will never happen. Saying that you're not interested in a relationship “at this time” or “because you have a boyfriend right now” leaves the window open for future relationships and may not deter the stalker. Be clear that you do not and you will never, under any circumstances want a relationship. If you are frightened or angry, it can be difficult to have a conversation with your stalker. It is important to remain as calm as possible, avoid yelling or cussing, and be clear and direct. Anger may be misinterpreted as passion, just as sympathy or niceness may be misinterpreted as affection. It is best not to have this conversation alone.  Ask someone for help, but you may want to be sure that any friend you bring with you to the conversation will not be perceived as a threat or competition. You may want to include a friend who is the same gender as you, as long as you both feel safe confronting the stalker. If you have experienced violence at the hands of the stalker, or if he has threatened you, you should not try to contact or talk to him on your own. Consult the police department or victim services about the best way to send a clear message...

Article in English: If you believe the bill is fake, you should not return it to the person who passed it to you. Instead, try to delay the person. Call a manager to the front and tell the passer the manager needs to look at the bill. As you wait, note important details about the passer. Write down their age, height, hair color, eye color, weight, and other unique features.  If the person drove to your business, try to get their license plate number.  Remember that the person giving you the bill might not be the counterfeiter, so don’t think you have to perform a citizen’s arrest or anything. They could be completely innocent. You should write your initials and the date in the white border surrounding the $100 bill. You’ll need to hand it over to the police, who might be able to pull fingerprints off the bill. For this reason, touch the fake $100 as little as possible. Store it in an envelope in your register. Remember not to put it in with the other bills. Instead, mark your envelope “counterfeit” so that you can find it quickly. You can find the number in your telephone book. Tell them you have a counterfeit $100 bill and give them your location. They will tell you what to do next. Generally, the police will contact the Secret Service to investigate. You can also call the Secret Service directly, if you want. You can find your local office at this website: https://www.secretservice.gov/contact/field-offices/. Enter your zip code. Only turn the bill over to an identified police officer or Secret Service agent. If you give the bill to the Secret Service, you may need to complete a Counterfeit Note Report for each bill.

Article in English: If you bought your glasses new, they should have come in a box with a large white shipping label. This label should contain important identifying information for your glasses — if it doesn't, they're probably fake. Official Ray-Ban boxes should be labeled with the following:  Model number: Starts with "RB" or "0RB", followed by four numbers. Submodel number: Starts with a letter, followed by four numbers. Lens type code: One letter/one number combination (e.g. "2N"). Lens width (in millimeters): Two-digit number. All Ray-Ban glasses should come with their own carrying case — if yours didn't (for instance, if your glasses came in a plastic bag), this is cause for concern, unless you bought them after-market (for instance, from a pawnbroker). The glasses' carrying case should have the following marks of good craftsmanship:  A sharp, shiny gold logo on the front left side. The logo should read "100% UV Protection - Ray-Ban - Sunglasses By Luxottica". A Ray-Ban logo on the snap. Material that is textured (and feels like) real leather. A hard, protective front portion. Clean stitching. Real Ray-Bans are usually packaged with a small booklet that discusses the product you've purchased, contains promotional images, and more. This booklet should be flawlessly printed from good-quality matte paper. In addition, real Ray-Ban booklets are thoroughly reviewed and edited before their publication. If the booklet contains any sort of error — whether it's a spelling, grammar, or factual error — this is a sign of trouble. Ray-Bans almost always come with a small felt cloth to be used for keeping the glasses clean. If this isn't included with the glasses in its own clear plastic envelope, your glasses may not be genuine. If the glasses do come with a cleaning cloth, but it appears poorly-made, this can also be a sign of a fake. Look for the following sorts of defects in the cloth:  Stains or signs of previous use Thin, coarse, or ratty texture Loose stitching Cheap-looking material Ray bans are sold with a distinctive cling-on...

Article in English: If you can find a few public email addresses for employees at the same company as the person you're trying to find an email for, you may be able to infer their work email address.  Look for sales rep email addresses, tech support addresses, and other email addresses for individuals at the company that may be public. Check the LinkedIn page for the company itself and see if any of the employees there have publicly-available email addresses. Look for press releases if possible. These often contain the email address of the PR representative. If you are looking for any type of “official” address, like a work or school e-mail address, the username is likely to consist of elements from that person's first, last, and possibly middle names. Many companies assign email addresses to their employees that follow a common convention. Look at the email addresses you've found and see if you can come up with the address you're looking for based on what's there. For example, if the emails you found were formatted FirstLast@company.com, try plugging the person's name into that format. This can help you determine if the address is legitimate before you test it out. You may find links to their social networks, in which case you'll know you have the right email address. You can try a few more common company email structures, which may be used if the person shares a name with someone at the company or they are allowed to choose their own usernames:  first_last@company.com  firstinitialLast@company.com (e.g. brubble@company.com for Barney Rubble) last@company.com FirstMiddleinitialLast@company.com

Article in English: If you can make it work, fit your main keyword into your domain name as the first word in the domain. To boost rankings, you can also use a country TLD (top level domain, like .com) if you have a local business. You'll be rewarded for searches in your area, but doing this will hurt your searches outside of your country. Of course this doesn't matter if your business is local. At the very least, avoid replacing words with numbers (and other 90s tricks) and avoid using a subdomain.  This applies to subpages as well. Use descriptive and valid URLS for each page of the website. Give the pages names that tell search engines and users what they are instead of using generic names like "page1". Instead, do something like weddings, for your wedding rentals and catering page. Keywords in subdomains also work in your favor. So for example, if you have a section of your site that is for wholesale, use an address like "weddings and wholesale". Your website code allows you to add invisible descriptions for pictures and pages. Use these, and try to fit at least one keyword into the text. Having one at all will help your rankings. If you don't know how to work your html code to do this, get your website designer to help you. Headers are another part of the website code where you can add text. Use these, and try to fit at least one keyword into the text. Having one at all will help your rankings.

Article in English: If you can remove a bike wheel successfully, you can attach one just as easily. This is very simple for the front wheel. If you’re putting the back wheel on, pull back on the derailleur to clear the chain from the gear discs. Then, while continuing to pull on the derailleur, carefully guide the wheel into place. Close the latch on the brake calipers or the brake handle, if your brakes have a quick release. Or, squeeze the calipers together and feed the brake cable back into place. Refer to your instruction manual or the manufacturer’s website for specific guidance for your brand. Use a wrench to make sure the nuts are snug and secure. Don’t try to tighten them so much that you “round off” the nuts, however, or they will be difficult to remove in the future.  If your bike has a quick release mechanism for the wheels, just close the latch to secure your wheel. Now you’re ready to go for a ride!

Article in English: If you can spot some common interests that the two of you share, that's a great place to steer the conversation. If not, ask some open-ended questions to learn more about what the person likes.  For example, you might ask, “What brings you to this conference?” or “What sort of music do you like?” Open-ended questions require more expansive answers that keep the conversation going. Do something for the person without them asking. However, make sure that you aren't acting inappropriately. Choose something that would commonly be done by a friend or acquaintance, whichever is appropriate for your relationship. For example, if they miss a class, ask them if they want a copy of your notes. If they're ill, bring them chicken noodle soup. People enjoy talking about themselves, so let them. Orient to face them and listen to their entire message without interrupting.  Once they pause, paraphrase what they said back to them to be sure you're clear on what they're sharing. This lets them know that you're truly listening and provides the chance for them to clear up any misunderstandings so that you fully get their message. Listen with your whole body.  Make eye contact with the other person, lean forward a bit, nod in agreement or understanding. Keep in mind that if you spend the whole time talking about yourself, you won't get to know the person better, and they may not think you’re interested in them. Let them do most of the talking. Compliments make people feel special, but it also endears them to you. Comment on their appearance, a particular skill they have, or an insight they make during conversation. Try not to focus on only one area, like appearance. Say, “Cool shirt! I'm a Harry Potter fan, too" or “Wow, that's a really neat idea!” People like people of good cheer, so make a witty remark or tell a joke. Laughing together helps strengthen your bond. As a result, the person will look at you more favorably. Dance a little jig to show you're happy, gently tease them, or send them a funny meme. Making them laugh will...

Article in English: If you can still reach out to the person, try to stay in touch with technology. You can text, call them on the phone, or chat with them through video. Agree on a regular time to connect, such as every Thursday at 6pm. Use this time to catch up on what's happening in one another's lives. Follow or friend the person on social media to feel more connected to them. Even if they are far away, you can still read their status, see pictures, and message them via social media. Social media also lets people stay in touch across great distances. As long as they update their feed often, you'll be in the loop. Friends, family, lovers--whatever your connection to this person, you can still have long distance quality time with them. Try playing games together online, doing crafts from Pinterest together, or watching the same movie or TV show.  All you need is connection to the Internet and you can do simultaneous activities during a Skype or Hangouts video call. You could also “meet up” in a virtual reality room no matter how far away the person is. For example, a game like Rec Room (for Playstation 4) allows you to meet up and participate in virtual reality activities with someone. Nothing is quite like being with your friend or partner in person. If you have the resources, plan a time to go and visit the person. Then, you can hug them and see up-close how much they may have changed since you've been apart. If your loved one has passed away, you can maintain a connection with them by starting or supporting a charity event or scholarship in their name. You might run in a fundraiser half-marathon, for instance, and dedicate your performance to their memory. You might raise money for a English scholarship if your friend loved literature. Or, if they died in a car accident, you might advocate to have the street changed to their name or have better road signs placed in their honor.

You'll need a bathroom scale, a pull-up bar or hanging board and a stopwatch. Position the scale right underneath your pull-up bar or board.  These should be high enough that your arms will be fully extended above your head. You want to test your grip strength for a 5 second time period.  Set your stopwatch to 5 seconds or have a friend monitor their watch. To get in the right position, stand on the scale and place your hands on the pull-up bar or board.  Look at the scale to make sure the weight reading is accurate. To test your grip strength with a bathroom scale, you'll want to see how much weight you can pull up with just your hands.  While standing with feet flat on the scale, squeeze your hands around the pull-up bar or the side of the hangboard.  You should not bend your elbows, wrists or knees.  Your entire body, aside from your hands, should remain stable.  You want to aim to lift as much of your body weight off the scale as you can, with only the strength of your hands. Squeeze or pull on the bar as hard as you can with your hands.  Have a friend record what the new weight reading is on the scale.  It will be less than your actual body weight. Again, it's recommended to take an average of these readings.  Do three to five tests and then take the average of these results. Once you've noted your current weight and the averages from the tests, you can calculate your grip strength.  Follow this simple equation:  Your grip strength in pounds = your current weight - your weight while gripping the bar.  For example 180 pounds current weight - 80 pounds while gripping the bar = 100 pounds of grip strength. Record this result and continue to track your grip strength using this same method over time.  This will help you see any improvements after practicing...

Article in English: If you can't seem to connect your Nook to the internet, your very first step should be to make sure your device's Wi-Fi is on with the following steps:  Tap the Settings button in the top right (it looks like a small gear) Look at the "Wi-Fi" option. If the slider next to it is in the "off" position, move it to the "on" position. Look at the "Airplane Mode"option. If the slider next to it is in the "on" position, move it to the "off" position. To recap, you want Wi-Fi on and Airplane Mode off to connect to the internet. If you can't find your preferred network out of the list of available ones, one potential quick fix is to simply reset your Wi-Fi connection with the following steps:  Tap the Settings button in the top right (it looks like a small gear) Move the slider next to "Wi-Fi" from "on" to "off," wait a few seconds, and switch it back. One reason you may not be getting a good Wi-Fi connection is that you're simply too far away from the source of the signal. Try moving right next to your Wi-Fi router and connecting again. If you know that your home network is operating but you can't see it on your Nook, it may be set to run as a hidden network. To add it manually, use these steps:  Tap the Settings button in the top right. Tap "All Settings." Tap "Wireless & Bluetooth." Tap on "Find other networks." Tap "Add Network." Enter your network's information and finish by pressing "Save." Some problems may require more assistance than can be provided online.

Article in English: If you can, just ignore the warts because they can sometimes go away on their own. You can cover the warts with bandages or even be stylish by using a scarf or a bandanna to cover facial warts. Study shows that most warts will resolve themselves after two years.  However, if the warts really bother you, by all means try the treatment options discussed above. If the warts persist for years, or if you find they begin to spread, seek medical attention. Stop touching the warts and leave them alone. Practice the universal precaution of good hand hygiene so that you don’t transmit the warts to others. Picking warts can worsen your problem.  Keep your hands dry and clean because warts thrive on moist areas. Make it a habit to wash your hands before and after applying topical solutions on your warts. Isolate your clothes and towels. Make sure that others don't use these items of yours to prevent the transmission of warts. If possible, label them so that others will know that these are your items and will think twice about using them. This can easily spread the virus to other areas. Remember, warts are highly contagious. Even a slight brush of the affected part can infect you or others. This can also harbor warts and spread them to other people. You may want to let your facial hair grow if you can, to avoid shaving the area. Facial scrubs and abrasives may contribute to this as well.

Article in English: If you can, try to go on a day/time when the dealership is closed so you can browse freely and not be bothered by any sales pitches or arm twisting. If salespeople do approach you, tell them you have no intention of buying, and are just doing market research, and would prefer to look undisturbed. If they continue to hassle you, walk away and go to another dealership: you probably don't want to buy from a dealership that doesn't respect the customer's wishes. This is called the "invoice price," and it's relatively easy to get on the internet. Arming yourself with the invoice price lets you haggle starting low and going up, as opposed to starting high and going down. It's a much better position to be in. Make sure you find the invoice price with all the available features you want. The invoice price doesn't mean much unless it actually matches the features of the car you're trying to buy. Use websites such as Autobytel.com, VINSnoop.com and PriceQuotes.com to shop for quotes that you can use as bargaining chips when you actually decide to negotiate in person. Many dealerships will also have an online branch that will get you a quote in a couple days; use them! For the best possible bargain, it's essential to have your financial game plan laid out before you set foot on the dealership. This includes:  Knowing your credit score if you intend to finance. You can get a free report once a year from each of the three major credit reporting agencies. If you haven't done so already, get your credit score. Shopping around for a loan from a bank or credit agency.  Getting a loan directly from the dealership can be a bad idea. Get a loan secured before you walk into the dealership; the dealership might be able to beat the price, and if they can't, you know you'll be able to finance your car another way.

Article in English: If you cannot remove the pillow insert, make sure that the cover is washable. If it is not washable, you will need to spot clean the cover instead. Click here to learn how to clean a non-removable pillow cover. The last thing you'd want is to put a damaged pillow into a washer, and open the door at the end of the cycle to find a pile of feathers. Before you stick your pillow into the washer, examine it carefully. Focus on the body of the pillow as well as the seams. If you see any rips or tears, stitch them up using a needle and thread. Placing the pillows vertically will ensure that they won't wrap around the agitator while they are spinning and get tangled.  Washing two pillows at once will help balance out the drum inside the washing machine. Washing the pillows separate from the rest of your laundry will ensure that there is enough water to rinse the soap out properly. If the pillow is not washable, toss it into dryer with a few tennis balls or dryer balls. The head will kill any odor-causing bacteria. When choosing soap, make sure that it is liquid and low sudsing; powdered detergent will be too difficult to wash out. If the care label on your pillow has different requirements for water temperature, detergent, and cycle setting, follow what the label says instead. Because pillows are so bulky, a single rinse cycle may not be enough. Many people find that they have to do an additional rinse cycle or two in order to get all of the suds out. The longer they sit, the more likely they will end up smelling musty. Do not twist or wring the pillow. Instead, place it at the end of a large, clean towel. Place another towel right on top, so that the pillow is sandwiched in between. Start rolling the pillow along with the two towels, from one end to the other. Press down on the roll, then unravel it. Repeat this step for any other pillows you have just washed If the pillows are filled with feathers, use the no-heat setting. If the pillows are filled with a synthetic material, such as fiberfill, use a low-heat...

Article in English: If you cannot see out the back of the vehicle, you will need to use your side mirrors to see as you back up.  Before you begin, adjust your side mirrors to ensure you can see the side of the vehicle, the ground, and anything coming up from behind you. In many cars you can adjust both mirrors from the driver’s seat, but in some you may need to adjust them manually by hand on each side. Using mirrors will only show you what is behind your vehicle on either side, so it’s important to check both sides often.  This will prevent you from accidentally hitting something, or from not noticing as someone approaches from one side or the other.  You likely will need to drive even slower in reverse when using mirrors to be sure you don’t miss anything. It may help to pay closer attention to the mirror on a side with an obstacle, so you can keep your eyes on it. If you are backing up using only your mirrors in a difficult area, you may choose to ask a friend to guide you.  Using your mirrors to keep an eye on a friend that is checking your clearances from the back may be your best option when driving a box truck or something else with severely limited visibility.  Have your friend stand behind the vehicle on one side to ensure you can see them as they guide you. Make sure to open your windows and turn off the radio to hear your friend’s instructions as you back up.

Article in English: If you can’t find the right color, you can dye them using hair dye (if they are made from real hair). You can also buy them in a lighter shade for an ombre effect. It would be even better if the extensions matched your hair texture (curly or straight). Don't worry if you can't find the right ones; you can curl or straighten them later. Most packs of extensions will come with 7 wefts, or strings of hair. Each weft will have 2, 3, or 4 clips sewn into it. Separate your wefts into groups based on how many clips are sewn in. Some groups may only have a single weft, while another group may have up to 4 wefts. Knowing how many clips are on each weft is important. Where you place the weft depends on how many clips are sewn into it. Gently brush the hair starting from the ends. Never drag a brush straight down through the wefts without detangling it first. If the hair is particularly knotted, detangle it first using a wide-toothed comb, then brush it. to match your hair, if desired. If the extensions are made from real hair, apply a heat protectant product then use a curling iron or a hair straightener on them, just like you would on your own hair. If they are made from synthetic fibers, read the package to ensure that they are heat-resistant, or you risk melting the fibers. Alternatively, you can straighten or curl your hair to match the extensions instead.  A trick for styling the extensions is to pull your own hair back into a ponytail then clip the extensions in one at a time to the side of your head and curl or straighten them. Alternatively, you can clip the extensions to a skirt hanger to make it easier to style them. Even though these extensions are only temporary, your hair should be clean, dry, and free of any knots or tangles. Wash your hair as you normally would, then allow it to air dry or use a hairdryer. Brush your hair until it is smooth and free of knots.

Article in English: If you can’t run and defending yourself is your only option, you will want to do something unpredictable. Spit in your attacker’s face, or drop suddenly to the ground. If you have a backpack or a purse, throw it at their head. If this gives you an opening to run away, do so. If not, you’ll still have thrown them off and given yourself a chance to fight. Being unarmed against a knife attack is a dangerous position to be in. Look around your surroundings for anything that you might use as defense, especially anything that's heavy or relatively long. Anything that puts some distance between you and your attacker is good. You can make a weapon out of almost anything you find around yourself: throw a jacket or shirt over your attacker, put keys between your fingers, or pick up something heavy nearby and swing it at them. When your attacker lunges for you, they will be off balance. If you found your own weapon, now is the time to ram into them. If not, strike out at them to throw them further off with a kick to the groin or the legs. Just make sure to steer clear of the knife. If you are lucky enough to have a weapon to use, strike at the person’s hand, keeping as much space between you and them as possible. This will weaken and damage their hand to the point that they’ll no longer be able to hold the knife. If you don’t have a weapon, you will need to try to grab their wrist and disarm them instead. While any grab near the knife is incredibly dangerous, grabbing your attacker’s wrist may be your only choice. Grabbing their wrist firmly will give you control of the knife’s direction and give you a moment to punch or strike them. You may be able to wrest the knife from their control, but using both hands to try to take the knife leaves them with an opening to headbutt or punch you instead! Keep them on the defensive by continuing to attack them. If you’re able to, continue to hold their wrist and strike at their head and legs until you can get them on the ground. Once they’re on the ground, continue to keep the...

Article in English: If you care about your FWB’s feelings, but don’t think you could ever go back to being just friends, have an honest conversation with them. End your relationship while honoring your friendship by letting them know exactly why you’ve made this decision. If needed, write a letter or email, either before or after talking with them directly, to express all the points you wish to make clearly so nothing is left unsaid:  “Now that I’m seeing So-and-So, I feel like I’m only being half-hearted with them because I still think of you as more than just a friend.” “I’m not ready for a serious relationship, but it feels like that is where we ended up, and it wouldn’t be fair keep going just because it seems like that is the only way for us to stay friends at all.” “I said at the start that I was fine with ‘no strings attached’ because I truly thought I was fine with it, but now I realize you mean much more to me than that, and I can’t go back to the way things were without pretending to be okay with that, too.” Use straight-to-the-point words to make it absolutely clear that things are over. Resist feeling obligated or being manipulated into providing some sort of exception that might lead to the resumption of benefits. Respect their feelings and avoid being hurtful (unless they really warrant it), but avoid sugar-coating the situation and leading them on with false hope. If they continue to pursue benefits after you have told them that things are over, write them a text or email to restate your decision, using no uncertain terms, so that it is right there, in plain language, for them to see, without providing them a chance to argue the point. If your FWB refuses to accept the change in your status, reinforce your decision to move on by cutting off all ties. Unfriend them on social media. Take their phone number out of your phone. Delete old emails, voicemails, and other correspondence. Focus on a bright new future rather than dwell on the past. If you share the same circle of friends, make a point of seeing your other...

Article in English: If you choose to remove your pubic hair, shaving is less painful that waxing and the most economical option. To ensure a comfortable shave:  Trim your pubic hair before shaving. Use scissors to cut your hairs as short as possible. This keeps hairs from snagging onto the razor and pulling at your skin. Choose a razor designed to shave pubic hair. Most razors will work fine but if you plan to shave in a delicate and hard to reach place like between your buttocks, a specialized razor can prevent nicks and cuts from happening. For example, some razors are equipped with a trimmer or are coated with a soothing lotion. Bathe or shower before shaving to open up your pores and soften coarse hairs. Typically, pubic hair is thicker than the hairs on our heads. Use shaving cream to help protect your skin while shaving. However, be careful not to put shaving cream onto your genital area as it can cause irritation and inflammation. Apply aloe vera or baby oil after shaving. Don’t use moisturizers with added dyes or fragrances. You can get waxed by a professional or do it at home. However, there is an element of pain that comes with pubic waxing. To relieve pain, take aspirin or ibuprofen 30 minutes before waxing. To ensure a comfortable waxing experience:  Wait until your pubic hair is about a quarter of an inch (1 cm) long before waxing. The wax will grab onto the hair follicle, making it easier to remove. Follow the instructions of at-home wax kits carefully. Some kits will have a pot or cup of wax for you to heat and apply, while others will have premade strips ready for you to use. Test the temperature of the hot wax before applying it to your pubic area. A burn down there can be extremely uncomfortable. Test the temperature by applying a bit of wax to the inside of your wrist. Wax needs to be hot enough for it to spread over your skin but not hot enough that it will burn it. Wear cotton underwear and clothing after waxing to allow your skin to breathe and avoid irritation. There are different looks and styles you can...

Article in English: If you choose to start the path to recovery alone, bear in mind that alcohol withdrawal can potentially be deadly. If you start experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms (panic attacks, severe anxiety, the shakes, rapid heart beat) you should seek immediate  medical assistance. The condition could potentially deteriorate to delirium tremens, which is deadly, if left untreated.  Don't feel like you need to quit alone. You are carrying a heavy burden, but plenty of people (including people with medical degrees) want to help you. It's often easier to quit with the help of medical intervention than it is to try it cold turkey. Doctors treating withdrawal from alcohol often prescribe benzodiazepines to help with symptoms. Benzodiazepines, which include alprazolam (Xanax), clonazepam (Klonopin), diazepam (Valium) and lorazepam (Ativan), are psychoactive drugs used to calm anxiety and quell panic. They can be addictive on their own and can be fatal if taken with alcohol. For this reason, you should only take them for a short time while being monitored by your doctor. Remember, you're not being forced to give up a good friend who has treated you well. Instead, you are finally ridding yourself of an enemy. Adjust your attitude so that quitting is made easier. Your better half wants you to quit; your selfish half wants you to stay the same. Be ambitious, but reasonable. If you are very heavy drinker you must first slow down to avoid withdrawal symptoms (in this case it is best to have your doctor help you plan your quitting date). Don't feel that just because you are having guests over you need to offer them a beer, wine, or cocktail.  It is perfectly fine to offer people tea, lemonade, coke, or the like. Cry when you need to.  Laugh when you can.  Eat when you are hungry. Sleep when you are tired. This is going to be really weird at first, but embrace it.  You haven't felt your feelings for a long time.  You will have a learning curve. There's an old saying about "Playgrounds and Playmates" — look at yours. You may need...

Article in English: If you compliment her all the time, eventually the “special” feeling can start to wear off. How often is too often is difficult to gauge, but you should generally try to save compliments for special occasions and times when you feel like it’s really important. You know that feeling you get where you think your heart might just burst from how wonderful she is? That’s a good time to compliment her. When she’s clearly beating herself up about something? That might be a good time to point out that she’s got stronger traits that are going to carry her through. The point of a compliment is to make her feel good; it’s not actually about earning you points. That means that compliments should be saved for times when it’s really important to make her feel good about herself. Women can almost always tell when you’re not being genuine with your compliment. This is why things will often go wrong if you’re trying to compliment a girl you’ve never met: you don’t really know her so how can you know anything actually worth complimenting. Whatever you compliment her on, you have to really mean it. You have to honestly think that it’s a good thing. Your earnest belief will come across and, even if it’s a little cheesy, she’ll be really flattered. This is why we feel really good when kids give us a compliment. It might not always be worded in the perfect way and it might be complimenting something kind of weird, but kids haven’t learned how to flatter people to get what they want. When they compliment us, they mean it, and it’s extremely heartwarming, even if the delivery sucks. Now, you might hear advice telling you that you’ll be more likely to score with a girl if you give her a compliment that insults her just a little bit, making her think that her only chance is with a guy like you (who “doesn’t care” about her “faults”). If this works with any girls at all, it will only work with women who have very low self-confidence. They are not the kind of women that you want to date. Instead, when you compliment her, be respectful....

Article in English: If you continue to have symptoms of a pinched nerve for a week or longer, or if your symptoms do not respond to things like taking an over-the-counter pain reliever or using a heating pad, then you should see a doctor. Tell your doctor about your symptoms including when they started and what (if anything) seems to help.  Tell your doctor about any recent changes in your physical activity levels and any changes you have noticed in your bowel or bladder habits.  Be aware that leaving a pinched nerve untreated may lead to other conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, tennis elbow, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Your doctor will examine your body for any signs of a problem. Be sure to point out the areas where you have been having symptoms. For example, if you have been having numbness and tingling in part of your leg, then specify the area of your leg where you have these symptoms. Over time, a pinched nerve may cause swelling, pressure, and scarring, so your doctor may be checking for this. Let your doctor know if you have noticed any of these symptoms. Your doctor may not be able to make a diagnosis based on your symptoms and a physical exam alone. You may have to go for some tests to identify the problem. Some tests your doctor may order include:  Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Your doctor may order an MRI to get images of the affected region. An MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to generate images of the inside of your body. Nerve Conduction Study. For this test, a series of electrodes will be placed on your skin to measure the how your nerves respond when a small electrical current passes through them. Electromyography (EMG). For this test, your doctor will need to insert a needle into the muscles where your symptoms are located to test their reaction and determine if there has been any nerve damage. X-ray. Although an x-ray will not show your nerves, it may help your doctor to detect any bone degeneration or changes in your bones due to arthritis.
