Article in English: Do some consumer research by testing out the five or so names with potential customers and see how they respond to the names. You can even talk about the names with a focus group, seeing how a group of people reacts to each name and hearing what they have to say about the feeling that each word evokes. Hearing how other people would react to the name can help you find the best fit. Just make sure that you're testing the names on people who might actually make up your customer base. Different names resonate with different types of people. This may sound silly, but you can get a better sense of what works for each name when you write it down, draw it, or even start doodling a potential logo. Having a sense of how the word would look on the page can help you see if this name is something that you can see on top of your business stationery or hanging above your store. Saying each name aloud will help you see which name rolls off the tongue the most smoothly, and which name sounds the best when said aloud. This can give you an idea of how the name of your business would sound if you heard it over the radio or over the phone. If you've narrowed your list down to two or three names that meet all of your criteria, but you just can't settle on one, just think about the one that will feel the most right. Which name would you love to have representing your business? If you really aren't happy with any of the names you're left with, keep brainstorming. If professional naming companies can take months to come up with the perfect name, then you should certainly spend more than a day or two on this difficult decision.

Article in English: Do some research and meet with several different doctors before choosing one to stick with. During your first session, your doctor will ask you describe your symptoms, how long they have been present, and about your past. You might want to reflect on some of these questions before your first appointment so that you can organize your thoughts and clarify any information, if necessary. You may decide to see a psychiatrist, a doctor with a medical degree who is licensed to prescribe medication. Psychiatrists usually combine talk therapy and medical treatment, but not always. Several types of antidepressants are prescribed to treat anxiety as well. These medications types include SSRIs, SNRIs, and tricyclic antidepressants. There are several different types of medication within these categories, so it is best to speak with your physician or psychiatrist about which would be best for you. You may also choose to see a psychologist, a doctor without a medical degree who focuses on talk and cognitive behavioral therapy. In most states of the U.S., psychologists are not licensed to prescribe medications.  However, there are a few states in which psychologists can prescribe medication, including New Mexico, Louisiana, and Illinois.  If you are under the age of eighteen, talk to your parents about your condition, if they aren't already aware of it, and ask them for help finding the right doctor. Some patients are open to the prospect of medications while other prefer to take the natural route. You should clarify your preferred method of treatment with your therapist upon meeting him or her so that you can determine whether or not it is a right fit. Remember that each doctor has his or her own preferred method of treatment. If you don't have access to a psychologist or psychiatrist, there are other professionals of mental help that can help you with your depression and anxiety. Look for psychiatric nurses, licensed clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, and licensed professional counselors in your area....

Article in English: Do some research on programs like Rosetta Stone to help you master the new language. Many computer programs have been developed to provide a full language immersion class over a period of a few weeks or months. Follow the software guide to practice and develop your language skills. Access Turkish radio and TV broadcasts online. Stream programs that are presented in Turkish, and listen to them throughout the day. The more you are able to hear a language the easier it will be for you to understand it. Visit restaurants or markets that cater to Turkish immigrants. Speak with the people at these locations and practice. To provide yourself with the most inclusive immersion experience take a vacation to Turkey. If it is possible for you to spend a few months fully surrounded by the Turkish language, it becomes much easier to pick up the new language.

Article in English: Do things to consume your time. When your schedule is full of activities that keep you productive and distracted, you won't have the time to dwell on the fact that you are lonely. Volunteer. Find a part-time job. Join a book club, or a new gym with interesting group classes. Tackle a few DIY projects. Just get out of your head.  What hobbies do you enjoy? What are you naturally good at? What have you always wanted to do that you've never gotten around to doing? Take this opportunity and do it. It's easy to sit at home and allow the day to pass with the cast of your favorite sitcom. However, when you remain in the same environment, the pangs of loneliness will only get worse. Go to a cafe to do your work. Go to the park and simply sit on a bench to watch the passersby. Give your brain some stimuli to distract you from your negative feelings. Spending time in nature can have a positive impact on your mental health. Getting outside can actually reduce stress, and may also help improve your physical health as well. So, grab a blanket and read a book on the park grass. Doing this regularly just might lift your spirits. Doing things you are passionate about can relieve your feelings of loneliness. Think about what makes you feel good. Meditating? Reading European literature? Singing? Go for it. Take some of your precious time and spend it nurturing your passions. Or, ask a peer from school, a buddy at the gym or your neighbor if they want to join you. New friend made. Refrain from using substances to dull the pain of feeling lonely. Find healthy activities that make you feel good - not just temporary fixes that only cover the wound. Sometimes, you may be so desperate to get past your feelings of loneliness that you'll take just about any chance that offers itself to be less lonely. Be careful not to seek out bad influences or people who only want to use you. Sometimes, the vulnerability that comes with being lonely can make you a target of manipulative or abusive people. Signs of people who are not interested in a...

Article in English: Do this by running cool water over the bleeding area for several minutes. In this way potential infectants are expelled from the wound and washed away, minimizing entry into the bloodstream. Once the virus enters your bloodstream, it may start to multiply, so it is best to keep the virus cells from entering the bloodstream in the first place. Gently cleanse the site of the needle stick or sharps entry with plenty of soap after you have bled the wound and flooded the site. This will help to kill viruses and bacteria, removing sources of infection and reducing the chance of infection.  Do not scrub the wound while you're washing it. This can make the injury worse. Never try to suck the wound. Use a sterile material to dry the wound and immediately cover the wound with a waterproof plaster or dressing. If the contents of the needle splashed to nose, mouth, face or other skin areas, wash them well with soap. Gently flush the eyes if any splashing occurred there. Place clothing in a sealed bag awaiting washing and sterilization. After undressing, wash your hands and parts of the body that were in contact with the potentially infectious clothing, then don fresh clothing.

Article in English: Do this gently and lightly to increase the circulation around the area. If you press too hard, you could make the hickey worse. Use a brand-new toothbrush. The redness and swelling will spread, but it will tone down if you wait. Leave it there for another 15-20 minutes. If you see that your hickey is less noticeable, try the method again. If you see that you've made it worse by brushing too hard, then keep icing it and wait for it to go away.

Article in English: Do this in the morning and at night before you go to sleep.  The most important thing in maintaining a good oral hygiene is to adopt the correct brushing technique. Ask your dentist or hygienist to teach you how to correctly use the toothbrush and how to apply it to your gums and teeth.  Brush with a soft bristled brush or an electric toothbrush. Brush all the surfaces of each tooth, including the chewing surface, the back and the front. Replace your toothbrush every three months. If you use an electric toothbrush, you should also replace the head every three months. It also never hurts to brush your teeth in the middle of the day. Wait about 30 minutes after eating before brushing your teeth. After you eat, the acid produced by the food in your mouth causes your enamel to soften. Immediately after eating you can rinse your mouth with water, then after 30 minutes, you can brush. Children should brush their baby teeth both to prevent cavities and to learn good oral hygiene habits. Fluoride strengthens the enamel coating on your teeth, making it less vulnerable to decay. Ideally, the toothpaste should have 1,350–1,500 ppm of fluoride in it. This is safe for children as long as an adult supervises them to make sure they don’t eat it.  If you use a lower strength toothpaste for a young child, make sure it has at least 1,000 ppm of fluoride. If it is lower, it won’t have enough to prevent tooth decay. Use a pea-sized amount on the toothbrush. When you are finished brushing, spit it out. You can rinse your mouth with water, but only briefly. You don’t want to wash away all the fluoride! Flossing will remove food particles, plaque, and bacteria that might be hiding between your teeth where the bristles of your brush can’t reach them.  Use about a foot-and-a-half of floss. Wind it around one finger of your dominant hand and one finger of your non-dominant hand. Then, with your dominant hand, insert the floss between your teeth and curve the floss around one of the teeth. Rub up and down, including going gently below...

Article in English: Do this on your own or with a friend. If possible, get access to a piano or a musical instrument that is important in the musical score. Then, read all the dialogue out loud and sing the songs to the tune of the musical instrument. Notice how the dialogue and the songs sound aloud. Pay attention to any dialogue that feels confusing or clumsy. Check that the songs relate to the dialogue in someway and sound polished. You may underline or mark any sections that feel off to you. You can then go back and revise them so until they are at their best. Stage directions tell the actors where they are situated on stage and how they are approaching a scene or a song. Keep the stage directions concise and to the point. Do not include stage direction that feels long winded or convoluted.  For example, if you want to notate that there is going to be a musical number in a scene, you would add in “Music starts playing (insert musical number here)” into the script. This will signal to the actors that a song is going to be performed. You should also include details about where the actors enter from into a scene, such as STAGE RIGHT or STAGE LEFT. You should include notes about a character’s reaction, but only if it is an important reaction in the scene. For example, “VELMA (aghast) How could you do that?” or “JOHN (crying) I can’t sing anymore.” Once you have a polished script, you should try to have it performed on stage. You may contact actors in your area and hire them to perform the musical at your local theater. Or you may try to get the musical performed by a prominent theater company in your area. You may also seek out actors and playwrights who have had success to get advice on how you can get your musical produced.

Article in English: Do this repeatedly. Make sure that you are inserting your hand slowly and in a non-threatening way. Don’t shake your hand around needlessly. Don’t shake the cage or hit your bird. Your goal is to teach your bird to trust that your hand won’t hurt it.  Lots of parakeets may fly around or squawk at you. However, remain still so it can determine that nothing will happen at this point. After your bird gets used to your hand being in its space, a treat will tell your bird to value your hand. Your hand should signify a safe and even beneficial addition to its space. The ideal treats will be made of grain or seed. They should be big enough for your bird to recognize, but small enough for your bird to pick up off of your hand. Perches come in many sizes. Most look like wooden dowels. Some are made out of metal. They all range in size. You should choose a comfortable perch that extends from your hand  around 4 to 5 inches. Your goal with this step is to get your bird used to perching near your hand. The dowel will eventually be replaced by your fingers. This will be the physical cue that tells your parakeet to step onto the perch. Make sure that you don’t jab your parakeet too hard. If you do, your parakeet will associate the perch and your hand (or presence) negatively. Let’s say your parakeet’s name is Petee. You’d say “up, up, up Petee” while nudging its chest. This will add an auditory cue for your bird to learn. Eventually, you may be able to have your parakeet hop onto your finger with one or the other signal. This includes gentle pets on the back of its head or additional treats. In this respect, parakeets are like dogs and cats. They need some positive reward in order to learn the trick. Some parakeets don't like to be petted. If your parakeet is one of these, stick to treats. Make sure that you choose treats that are made from natural seeds, vegetables, and grains. Every parakeet is different and will prefer different treats. Experiment and figure out what your parakeet likes the most. Place the dowel and...

Article in English: Do you plan on taking a lot of pictures on your phone? If you're an Instagram junkie, you may want to invest in a higher quality camera. If you don't plan on taking too many pictures, the camera quality may not be as big of a concern.  For most smart phones, camera quality will be 8 megapixels. More megapixels may produce higher quality photos, but this is not the only factor you should consider when it comes to photo quality. Make sure the camera has a flash. Otherwise, pictures taken inside or at night will come out blurry. When shopping for cell phones, it's a good idea to take a few photos in the store. This will give you a sense of whether or not the picture quality is high enough for your needs. Phones access data in a variety of different ways. How you plan to use your phone can help you determine what kind of data plan you need.  If you travel overseas a lot, look into a Moto X Pure edition. It's compatible with data types found in both the United States and parts of Europe. 4G and LTE data tend to provide the speediest data for smart phones. If you're looking for a basic smart phone, all your needs should be met with a 4G or LTE data type. However, bills can get high with these plans. Some phones provide Wi-Fi only data plans, where you can make calls and send messages when connected to Wi-Fi. This can be frustrating if you need to use your phone in an area without Wi-Fi, but it can save you money. Do you plan to use our phone to watch a lot of movies or TV shows? If so, you may want a larger screen. Smart phones generally get bigger with each new generation. Getting the most recent type of smart phone will provide you with the biggest screen. If you don't plan to use your phone to watch movies, screen size matters less. Think about saving some money and opting for a smaller screen. You should also think about screen resolution if you plan to use your phone to watch TV and movies. A higher resolution will provide better quality pictures and videos. As with size, opt for high resolution if watching...

Article in English: Do you want a hospital delivery or an at home birth? Have you considered giving birth in a birthing center, which has many of the medical capabilities of a hospital but in a more personal, home-like setting? Will you be using an obstetrician or a midwife as your health care provider during your pregnancy? Do you want family members or older siblings to be able to attend the birth or do you want to keep the setting more intimate with just yourself and your partner? Contact the administration and inquire about specific rules and regulations for birthing plans.  Do they allow birthing plans? Will your birthing plan be followed precisely? Make sure that they are equipped to meet your personal preferences for your birth. For example, if you have your heart set on spending the final stages of labor in a bathtub, it is important to make sure that the hospital you choose has bathtubs available for use during labor. Make sure that the health care provider you select has access to that hospital.

Article in English: Do you want to build a recording studio? Is it a singing booth? Is it an engineering booth? Is it for computer-based music production? Knowing what you want before you start can help you decide which equipment you will need. Doing extensive research will help at this stage. Try to find a specialist at PC World, or your local Apple shop, take notes and then find more information on the Internet. This will include such items as amplifiers, microphones, mixers, electric instruments, cables for connecting it all together. A modern computer built or purchased within the past three years should be sufficient.   If possible, acquire a working high-quality soundcard, such as an M-Audio Fast Track Pro or Digidesign Mbox 2 Mini. Creative Labs does have a Pro Music line called EMU. A 1212M PCI system is ideal if you were going to go that route. Monitor speakers are helpful if you are looking to stick with this for more than a hobby. The M-Audio Studiophile BX8a's, KRK RP-8 Rokit work well, and if you've got money to burn, the Mackie HR824 Studio Monitors. If you're into hip-hop, techno, or dance music, a set of turntables will be needed to record your sets or scratches on the fly. You can also use DJ software such as Traktor or Serato and a USB DJ controller to try out your mixes. A midi keyboard will be useful if you want to use midi software (which you can use to write bass lines, piano parts, and drum beats). Nothing fancy is needed, but each person will have their own preference. There are many advantages to having a midi keyboard because it will give you the tactile feel of a real instrument, which can greatly aid creativity. Pro Tools, Cubase, Reason, and FL Studio are popular brands for Windows while Logic is popular with Macs. Macs include a built in music-editing program called GarageBand.  Garageband is great for beginners but it will be a good idea to upgrade to more advanced music production software such as Logic or Pro Tools to make more professional quality music. This is where most of the genius (and...

Article in English: Do you want to write a pop song, a country song or even a classical song?  Take some time to listen to a few examples of whichever you choose to get a feel for them.  Take note of the rhythms, structure, and harmonic progression of other songs of the type you choose.  Your notes will help you stay on the right track. Choose the type of song you’d like to listen to.  It will keep you motivated. Take a few minutes to meditate about the things that are important to you.  You may want to write a love song for your sweetie or a song about a historical event.  Make sure your topic is something you personally connect with.  Give your song an emotional core. How do you want your audience to feel when they listen to your song?  Your tone will affect the way you write the song.  A song about a new love would likely be upbeat and happy and likely in a major key. A song about the death of a loved one would likely be slow and somber and use a minor key.  Elton John’s emotional tribute to Marilyn Monroe, “Candle in the Wind,”  is a perfect example of a song with a powerful somber tone.  Over 20 years after he wrote the song, John played it beautifully at the funeral of Princess Diana.  Bruno Mars’ “Amazing,” about the joy of being in love, is a perfect example of a song with an effective upbeat and happy tone. Think about your feelings toward the subject of your song and choose a mood that will communicate it to the audience. Always keep your eyes and ears open for possible titles.  You never know where you might find a great one.  Skim newspapers.  Read books.  Have conversations.  The perfect title could reveal itself to you in the unlikeliest of places.  Another great way to find a title is to make a metaphor for your topic. If your title comes from a conversation with someone else, be sure to ask that person permission before you use it. Play around on your piano for a while and try to find a tune that fits your mood.  Try to feel the emotion you wish to invoke while you play.  If it’s a happy song, let your fingers be...

Article in English: Do your own thing, and let others do theirs. If they're not hurting anyone, what's the problem? Chill people don't look for reasons or opportunities to hate on others just for being different. There's no reason to bully or tread on other people's territory. Try to be happy with yourself and encourage self-love in others, too and remember be yourself. Unless someone is rude to you, your day should go by smoothly by being polite, considerate, and nice. Chill people don't antagonize for the sake of it or stir up a bunch of negative emotions by being jerks; chill people are generally kind and get along well with others. However, try to avoid going overboard so you don't become a people-pleaser or pushover. Take your life in stride. Roll with the punches and be accepting of the little things life throws your way, reserving your passion for what matters to you most. This is pretty much the defining feature of a chill person. Don't be someone who is really boring and afraid to try new things. Go out and do stuff you consider fun and be someone that other people want to spend time with. Talk with people, go see movies, play games, go on hikes or go camping: it's all good! Be unique. A chill person doesn't feel the need to follow all the trends set by others, they just do what they want and what makes them happy. This laid back attitude inspires others to be more laid back and people will want to be around you more often.

Article in English: Doctors and clinics such as the Sports Injuries Clinic endorse foot massage. They are relaxing, but massages also increase circulation to the feet. They also help prevent injuries such as muscle strains or sprains. Sit on a chair and place a tennis, lacrosse, or golf ball under the ball of your right foot (a tennis ball is probably the most comfortable for your foot). Roll the ball with your feet, moving the ball along the bottom of your foot from ball to heel. Continue the movement for two minutes. You should feel the massage throughout your foot.  Try moving the ball up and down and in circles to increase the efficacy of the massage. Repeat on left foot for 2 minutes. While sitting on the chair, place your right foot on top of your left thigh. Use your thumb to gently work circles into your arch. Run your hands up and down your foot, releasing the muscles through the whole foot. Place your fingers between your toes as if you were holding hands with your feet. Keep this position with your toes spread for 30 seconds. Massage each toe to release extra tension.

Article in English: Doctors and nurses are trained in the best ways to insert catheters, so it's important you learn the best technique from a health professional, not just by watching videos or reading about how to do it. Before you leave the hospital or office, ask for a medical professional to demonstrate how to insert a catheter. Make sure that the professional is using the specific type of catheter that you need so that the demonstration pertains to you. If you will be doing at home catheterization for a relative or friend, make sure that you are allowed in the room for the demonstration as well as step by step instructions with guidance while doing it for the first time. Your doctor will very likely have a recommendation for a medical supply store or website from which to obtain your specific catheter. It is possible that the doctor's office will send you home with one, but other times you will need to purchase one yourself.  Note, these catheters generally need to be replaced after several uses or can be one time use only.  Ensure that a spare is always available.  Some medical supply companies include DVDs that you can watch to demonstrate how to insert a catheter. Try looking for one of these options if you are worried you might forget your doctor's technique.  When in doubt call doctor's office or home health nurse for help. Ask your doctor about home health, and whether this is an option. Your doctor/provider may be able to arrange for someone to come to your home and assist in this process until you are comfortable in doing it independently. Check with your insurance carrier to see if they will pay for the necessary supplies. When you are ready to insert the catheter, you'll want to make sure that you have everything you need.  In addition to a clean catheter, you will need soap and water or sanitizing wipes. You will also need a water soluble lubricating jelly.  Be aware that petroleum jelly (or Vaseline) is not water soluble, and therefore should not be used. Many healthcare professionals recommend that you squat...

Article in English: Doctors have not been able to prove through studies how to prevent or slow the progression of cataracts. However, they think that several strategies can help reduce the likelihood of developing cataracts or even slow their progression. Make sure to schedule at least annual visits with your ophthalmologist. She can detect cataracts in the early stages and help formulate a treatment plan for them. You doctor can tell you how often you should schedule appointments to help treat cataracts. Recent studies have shown that smoking can increase your risk for cataracts. Either quitting or reducing how much you smoke may help you avoid cataracts or slow their progression. If you are not able to quit smoking and want to, speak with your doctor about different treatment options such as medication or counseling to help you stop. There is some evidence that alcohol consumption may increase your risk of developing cataracts. Limit the amount of alcohol you consume to help minimize your risk for getting cataracts or having them progress.  The guidelines for sensible drinking recommend no more that two to three units of alcohol a day for women and three to four units per day for a man.  Units are based on the total percentage of alcohol in a beverage and the amount of alcohol consumed. For example, a bottle of wine has nine to 10 units.  If you are trying to limit your alcohol intake and having difficulty, either avoid situations in which alcohol is present or you may want to speak to your doctor. Ultraviolet light from the sun can promote the development and progression of cataracts. Wearing some form of protection from the sun can help to minimize your risk of getting cataracts.  Wear sunglasses that specifically block out UVB rays. Consider getting a pair of prescription sunglasses to most effectively protect your eyes. If you do not like wearing sunglasses, put on a hat with a large brim, which can help protect your eyes from UV rays. There are certain conditions such as diabetes that can increase your risk of developing...

Article in English: Doctors recommend 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night. Less sleep can result in 10% lower testosterone levels. Less sleep can also make it difficult to lose weight. Moving around more and sitting less will balance your hormones, decrease stress, and result in weight loss. Buy a pedometer. Make sure you hit at least 10,000 steps per day during the course of your daily routine. Stress produces the hormone cortisol and interrupts the production of hormones such as testosterone.  Focus on creating a work/life balance. Spend 2 hours a day on leisure activities you enjoy. Try to bring your workday down to 10 hours or less.  Start meditation, deep breathing, yoga, tai chi, and/or qigong. These activities can reduce stress and help you sleep better. If you don’t think you have time, start by taking four 2-3 minutes throughout the day to take 25 deep breaths per break. If low testosterone has affected your sex life, then consider changing sexual activity to the morning. Testosterone levels are naturally higher in the morning.

Summary in Portuguese:

Cuide da qualidade do seu sono. Mantenha-se fisicamente ativo. Reduza seus níveis de estresse. Aproveite os níveis mais altos de testosterona na parte da manhã.


Article in English: Documentaries are films about real-life subjects, bringing together interviews, documents, footage, and narration to tell the story of a person, place, or event. Is there a story you believe needs to be told? Is there an interesting person in your area with a captivating tale? Since documentaries are grounded in fact, you need to choose a subject that you can get information and interviews on easily. Thus, a filmmaker with limited means will have a hard time filming a documentary about the Revolution in Syria, even though is is a captivating subject.  Keep your subject small -- the best documentaries delve deeply into one topic instead of trying to cover many topics briefly. What sorts of documentaries do you enjoy watching? What sorts of subjects are captivating to you. There is very little that can't be examined closely, including people, cultures, and events:   The Fog of War, one of the decade's biggest documentaries, is almost completely filled up by an interview with one man, ex-Secretary of State Robert McNamara.  Happy People by famed documentary Werner Herzog explores the daily life of Siberian fur hunters throughout the course of one, "normal" year.  Inequality for All is an accessible but comprehensive look at the 2007 financial crisis as narrated by UC Berkeley Professor Robert Reich.  Supersize Me was shot with one man and one camera, asking what would happen if you ate McDonalds for every meal for a month. Before you pick up a camera, you need to be as much of an expert as humanly possible. Conduct some early interviews for practice  and send informal emails asking for advice to relevant professors, spokespeople, or friends of your subject. Go to the library and read as much as you can about your subject. This will help you ask good, informed questions and find the most interesting bits of the story to explore.  Keep a notebook with all your notes in it and make sure you list your sources so that they can be accurately cited in the credits. Look at both sides of divisive issues, not just the one...

Article in English: Does he bring you coffee? Give you rides home? Unless he's really that much of a good citizen, chances are that he's not doing it out of the goodness of his heart only. He must be attracted to you and must want something more from you than just a "thank you" for all the nice stuff he's been doing for you. Is he asking if you need his help with everything from home repairs to shoveling the snow of your driveway? Is he cooking for you because you've had a long day? If he's always around and finding ways to get close to you and to be in your presence, then it's likely that he's attracted to you. If a guy is interested in a girl, he will try to impress her.  Even risk serious injury like jumping off cliffs into water or ride on trunks of moving cars or anything else to gain your attention and care if he does get hurt. If he's not generally a risk taker or if he takes his risk-taking to a new level when you're around, then chances are that he's doing it just to impress you. See if he tries to catch your eye or look at you after he's done the risky thing -- if so, then he's really just doing it to get a reaction from you. A guy would not flirt with a girl he wasn't attracted to. If a guy flirts with you, then he probably is testing you to see if the feelings are mutual. Seemingly harmless flirting may mask his fear of getting rejected if he were to ask you out outright. See if he's playful around you, if he teases you, and if he likes to make you laugh. Just make sure he's not the kind of guy who flirts with every girl he sees. If he's a chronic flirt and that's just his way of talking to women, then it may not mean as much as it would if he were just flirting with only you. Do you notice unhappiness in him if you go for coffee or lunch with a male co-worker? Does he watch who is around you? If you have a male friend is he a little critical of him? His jealousy may not come out in the most obvious ways, but if he's truly jealous of you and another guy, he'll call attention to the fact that you're hanging out with...

Summary in Portuguese:

Veja se ele faz alguns favores para você. Veja se ele está criando desculpas para ficar perto de você. Veja se ele faz coisas meio chocantes na sua frente. Repare se ele flerta com você. Veja se ele fica com ciúme quando você está com outros homens. Veja se ele dá presentinhos a você. Perceba se ele age como um cavalheiro quando você está por perto. Veja se ele se envaidece quando está perto de você. Observe se ele anda no mesmo ritmo que você.


Article in English: Does he have a good personality that you are attracted to? Are you genuinely attracted to him or are you just flattered that someone would ask you out? Would you really consider starting a serious relationship with him?  If you answered yes to most of these questions, maybe he is someone you'd want to get into a relationship with. However, it's best that you get to know him better if you don't already know him well enough to go out with him. If you answered no to most of these questions, perhaps you should reconsider your answer to him. You could decline or you could take the chance and go out with him, but remember to make sure you choose an answer that makes you happy and that you won't regret later. Don't be afraid to take your time when deciding. Entering a relationship with someone is a decision that should be taken seriously. Remember that other partners will be available in the future so don't feel pressured to accept an offer from a person who you don't truly desire. Write down the traits you want your ideal partner to have. Consider things like religious beliefs, hobbies, career goals, ethics, physical features, sexual preferences, and lifestyle choices. Order them from most important to least important so you can determine which features you would be willing to compromise on. Next, try and discern how many of these features are mirrored in the guy who asked you out. Think about whether you want to go out with him because you genuinely enjoy his company, or because you're trying to cover up insecurities. By accepting his invitation, you've started something with him, and you cannot end it after one day with him. Remember that boys are not toys - they have their own feelings as well, and you should respect that. This can be a good option if you're too taken aback or uncertain to respond immediately. If the guy cannot respect that, maybe you shouldn't consider dating him at all. However, if he truly cares about you and he respects your request then it's a good sign that he's worth your time.

Summary in Portuguese:

Reflita se quer mesmo sair com ele. Pense um pouco sobre as qualidades que gostaria de ver no seu parceiro. Avalie quais são as suas motivações para dizer “sim”. Peça um dia ou um período para pensar.


Article in English: Does he only want to hang out with you at night? Does he ever even just want to spend time with you? Maybe he coincidentally only has time for you when you have an invitation to a cool party. Start paying close attention to when he wants to see you, because this can say a lot about his intentions. If he only wants to be in the bedroom, that's a huge red flag. If he never wants to take you around his friends, but would rather always be alone in his home, that may mean he isn't interested in making you a public and "official" part of his life. Think about the details of each. Consider things like how often he says or does something that bothers you, or makes you uneasy. Making a list is a great way to gather your thoughts and voice the concerns that may have only been brewing in your head up until now.  Is this a repeated behavior, or are you holding a grudge over something he did once, six months ago? While you should look out for yourself and stand your ground, there are also times when you have to be willing to forgive and forget if he's said sorry. Forgetting to call you when he said he would is annoying. Blowing you off on your birthday because he had something else to do is unacceptable. Go down the list and be honest about how bad his actions are, and how down they make you feel. Sometimes people around you can see things that you can’t. Rumors, warnings, and advice from people can all be useful when you’re feeling conflicted. Keep in mind, however, that only you and your boyfriend are in the relationship. Don’t air out the dirty laundry of your relationship to anyone and everyone who will listen. This can create more problems. Only consult trustworthy and well-intentioned people. If you've examined the situation, spoken to people you trust, and decided your suspicion is silly, decide how to move on. Maybe you have some confidence issues you need to address to feel secure in the relationship. If you are certain that there are valid reasons to be uneasy, then you'll need to figure out how to confront the...

Article in English: Does your friend seem true or false to you? Do you feel comfortable and happy around this person or do you feel awkward, controlled and/or unhappy around him or her? Does your friend inspire and motivate you or send shivers of angst and worry down your spine? Do you have evidence that this person supports you or badmouths you? Remind yourself that no friend is better than a bad friend, and that you will find a new friend if this one proves to be false. Also, sometimes your friendship circle as a whole may decrease in size but will increase in value, so let that be your guide. When making your decision, keep in mind that the fact you have had to question this friend's loyalty is a red flag. Generally, the only people you owe loyalty to are those who don't cause you to question theirs.

Article in English: Does your potential partner bring you up or bring you down? A good communicator knows how to separate the person from the behavior or issue while being firm on the issue and soft on the person. Someone with poor communication skills does the opposite. She or he “gets personal” by attacking the person and ignores or minimizes the problem. If you see poor communication between the two of you, it’s not the end of the world. If you’re both willing, improvements can be learned relatively quickly and put to effective use. As the saying goes, “once bitten, twice shy.” You usually need more time to trust after a bad break-up. The right person will understand and appreciate that that’s where you’re at versus running headlong into the first relationship that comes along. Opposites might attract but on a fundamental level, they often don’t work. Compatibility is the key to creating a lasting and deep connection with someone. For instance, if you want to prepare for the future, but your partner only wants to make money to party with, then you may want to reconsider a serious relationship with him or her. Learn from your past mistakes. Use your best judgment to determine whether he or she is trustworthy. Don’t let your emotions get the best of you when entering into a relationship again. If you feel that you are with someone who can’t be trusted, back-off from making a commitment until you know for sure. It could save you years of heartache! Mutual respect is critical for a healthy relationship. Without it, you will always be looking at him or her with dissatisfaction or even contempt. For example, if the person you’re with always drinks to excess and embarrasses you in front of your family or friends, it will eventually takes its toll on the relationship. The idea is to keep an eye out for behaviors that make you uncomfortable now before getting in too deep. If you’re not comfortable with how he or she is in the early phases, chances are high you won’t be comfortable with this person later on.

Summary in Portuguese:

Tenha ótimas habilidades de comunicação. Vá com calma. Procure alguém que busca o mesmo que você. Confie nos seus instintos, mas seja racional. Não entre em um relacionamento se você não respeitar o outro.


Article in English: Does your skin feel especially tight, cracked, itchy or rough after a shower? For people with lighter skin, is your skin redder than usual? For people with darker skin, is your skin gray or ashy? If your skin is afflicted in these ways, you should pay extra attention to moisturizing to restore your natural oils. Some examples of harsh skin care products are aftershaves or colognes containing alcohol or alpha-hydroxy acid, and deodorant soaps. While your skin may normally be resilient enough to combat the negative side effects of these products, you should give yourself a chance to catch up. You may also look into buying special laundry detergent for gentle skin, at least during the treatment period for dry skin.

Article in English: Dog breeders use artificial insemination for a variety of reasons. Some breeds suffer from a diminished gene pool, especially if the country has a small number of breeding dogs. If the male and female dog are separated by great distances it may be cheaper to AI than to pay for transportation for the dog and their handler. Artificial insemination can also make the semen from a desirable male dog more widely available. Only dogs that are healthy and meet breed specifications for conformation and type should be bred. This helps assure that the offspring will be healthy and display the desired breed traits. In addition to a general health examination, a breeding soundness examination is done to make sure the male dog’s reproductive tract is healthy and sound. Much like the male, the female dog needs to be examined to make sure she is healthy for breeding and that she meets breed standards. A female dog that is in ill health or who has reproductive problems could have problems getting pregnant, even with AI, or could suffer severe health problems due to a pregnancy.

Summary in Portuguese:

Determine se é necessário usar inseminação artificial. Avalie se o cachorro se qualifica para a reprodução. Avalie se a fêmea está apta a reproduzir.


Article in English: Dog's can suffer from whiplash and neck sprain quite easily. Anything from a sudden halting brake during a car ride to jerking his head around playing catch or running with other dogs could have caused your pet to experience some neck pain. Your vet will want to run tests and may require X-rays, CT scans, or an MRI to rule out any more serious conditions. It's important to rule out those conditions, as many debilitating illnesses and infections that cause neck pain require quick medical treatment. Even a severe spinal trauma may require corrective surgery. If your dog is suffering from a sprained neck, your vet may prescribe muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory medication to treat the pain and facilitate movement. Allow your dog plenty of time to rest and recover. Do not be tempted to give human pain relief medication to your dog unless instructed to do so under veterinary supervision.

Article in English: Dogs appreciate routine and it helps them feel secure. Work to establish a routine with your dog right away. Give meals at the same time, let him out to go potty, and take him for walks at a predictable time each day. Here is a sample schedule that might help you: :  7:00am: wake up and let dog outside 8:00am: feed dog breakfast 8:30am: let dog outside 1:00pm: let dog outside 5:00pm: let dog outside 7:00pm: feed dog dinner 7:30pm: take dog for a walk 9:00pm: let dog outside 10:00pm: bedtime A dog that has just been neglected needs a loving and responsible pack. Make it feel loved and let it know that you will care for his future needs. Loving the dog doesn't mean that he should be given free rein to do what he wants. He actually appreciates the security of having someone in charge and will thrive when given kind guidance. Pet your dog regularly. Do so carefully. Many neglected dogs will be hand shy. It may even respond violently, if it has been the victim of physical abuse. Until you understand your dog’s temperament be gentle and very careful, but make sure to pet him every day. By making physical contact with your dog, he’ll learn to trust you and will be comforted by this contact. Remember that dogs are social creatures by nature and they love to play. Play is a great way to bond with the animal and to help it get the exercise it needs. Play is also a great way to teach your dog how to behave around you. Pick out a variety of toys like tennis balls, pull toys, squeak toys, and frisbees. Take the dog outside and let it run around with these toys. Once your dog has regained his health, you can start to train him in basic obedience. If the dog is not trained, then be patient and never chastise him for getting things wrong or being disobedient. Ignore puddles or accidents - and instead praise what he does right. Start by teaching simple such as essential commands such as "sit". Try “click-and-treat-training”. In this type of training, the pet is empowered by having the opportunity to find a way to make you...

Article in English: Dogs need a lot of positive reinforcement to behave. Once your dog is comfortable in your bed, provide positive reinforcement. Each night, when your dog gets in bed with you, give him praise or a treat to show him he's behaving properly. If your dog is a slow learner, it can help to create positive associations with the bed. Your dog will be more eager to join you in bed each night if he thinks of the bed as a place where happy, fun things happen.  Try feeding your dog on or near the bed. You can lay down a towel over the bed to prevent a mess. Put some things your dog likes in the bed with you. Allow him to have some of his toys and blankets in the bed.  Spend some time just sitting in the bed with your dog. Watch TV or read a book and allow your dog to hop up on the bed with you. Periodically pet him or praise him. Be careful, however, not to teach him to associate anything too disruptive with the bed. You want him to sleep through the night and not disturb you. Therefore, playing with your dog in the bed may be a bad idea. Dogs respond well to negative reinforcement as well. Some behaviors can be disruptive to sleep.  Dogs may not respond well to punishment or scolding. It's sometimes easier simply to ignore bad behaviors. If your dog sees he's not getting a response, he may stop. For example, if your dog is whining or barking at night, just ignore it. Yelling at him might make him feel like you're barking back, encouraging him to keep it up.  If your dog is continuing to behave poorly, taking something away is also an effective means to discourage the behavior. Sometimes dogs act out to get your attention, good or bad, and yelling may only encourage bad behavior. Instead of scolding your dog when he's being disruptive at night, consider putting him on the floor. Do not let him back into the bed until he's calmed down. Eventually, your dog will realize certain behaviors result in him being removed from the bed. He'll stop engaging in those behaviors. It's great to have your dog sleep in the bed with you....

Article in English: Doing a bit of learning about how horoscopes developed and how they have been used throughout history will help you to see that they are just a pseudo-science. The signs aren't even in the same positions as they once were. Due to the fact that all the planets are constantly changing their positions, these cycles in fact never actually repeat themselves, making each person an absolute individual. A single horoscope can therefore never capture the breadth of personality and destiny of any single person. For example:   The Sun is a star with a large mass. Extensive research undertaken on earthquakes and the positions of the planets has shown that they strongly affect the rate of earthquakes and that the Sun has no greater effect than any of the other planets.[citation needed]  Depending on the Suns' relationship to the the other planets, the nature of the influences can in fact be the exact opposite of what is traditionally stated in sun-sign astrology. Due to the fact that the characteristics of the sun-sign can be the same as the traditional characteristics, the opposite, or somewhere in between, there can be no sound statistical method that would work just based on the traditional characteristics of the sign.

Summary in Portuguese:

Procure a história dos horóscopos. Considere como as posições das estrelas mudaram desde que os horóscopos foram criados. Considere como as posições do planeta mudam constantemente. Observe que a astrologia solar possui sérias limitações quando a ciência é aplicada a ela.


Article in English: Doing just 1 reading of the poem may not be enough for you to appreciate it. Try reading it at least 2-3 times, taking breaks between each reading. You may find you have a deeper connection to the poem on the second or third, or even fourth read. You can also try reading the poem once, putting it aside for a day, and then returning to it for a second or third read. This can give you time to think about the poem in more detail. If any lines or words catch your attention or spark your interest, go back and reread them. Consider why you find the lines or words pleasing. For example, you may simply like them or feel you can relate to them. Or you may find the lines interesting because they are strange and unexpected. Read a line that contains an image or feeling in the poem. Then, close your eyes and try to picture what it might look like to you. For example, you may close your eyes and picture an image of a ship on a harbor as it is described in the poem.

Summary in Portuguese:

Article in English: Doing positive activities may help reduce the risk of depression, and it's an effective strategy for regulating emotions. Research shows that focusing on positive activities can shift attention away from distressing thoughts. On the other hand, focusing on something negative can cause increased distress.  Go for a light walk in the park or some calming place. Watch a funny movie. Laughter really can be the best medicine; laughter has been shown to increase overall health and happiness.  Social support is a crucial component of preventing depression. If you can, try to spend time with or talk to others in order to prevent depression. Call up a friend, coworker, or family member. If you have been depressed previously due to loneliness, mindfulness can help reduce the likelihood that you will get depressed again. Mindfulness has also been shown to help individuals who feel lonely. Mindfulness is about giving your full attention to what you are currently doing and experiencing. Often we are distracted from the present moment by thoughts about the past (regrets) or future (worry about what might happen). Practice mindfulness as often as you can, especially when you start to become lonely or depressed.  Try a mindfulness walk. Simply take a walk down the street and focus solely on your walk. Notice the sounds you hear, the things you see, the smells, and how you feel. Is it hot or cold out? Is there a breeze or is the air still? Do you see any birds in the sky? Is it cloudy or sunny out? Another mindfulness exercise is mindfulness-based meditation and guided imagery. Close your eyes and imagine you are in a safe place. This can be a beach, your bedroom, or sitting under your favorite tree at a local park. Imagine that you are there. Experience your safe place in its entirety including what it feels like (i.e. the sand beneath your toes), smells like (salty air, fish), looks like (notice the whole environment), tastes like (if you eat something or drink something), as well as what you hear (the waves crashing).

Article in English: Doing this will help your employee feel like they are appreciated and their success is being recognized personally by a manager. A quick email, text message or visit to an employee’s office or cubicle for a thank you can do wonders to energize them. Even if the sales targets are not met due to unrealistic goals or aspects that were out of your employees’ control, show appreciation for small wins. This will remind employees that their efforts are not going unnoticed and prevent them from feeling demoralized or under appreciated. When an employee does average work, follow the average routine. But when an employee goes the extra mile, make sure you acknowledge and reward them. Reward employees who have achieved their goals for one, two, or even five years running. Appreciate their long term focus on the business strategy as well as their ongoing contribution to meeting daily targets. Doing this will reward employees for keeping their eyes on the company’s overall vision while still managing their daily tasks. Whether it is the right IT setup for their work station or hands on guidance about how to complete a task, you want your employees to feel like they are being set up for success, not failure. Your employees may lack the skills or knowledge to perform their assigned tasks, especially if they are new to the job or unfamiliar with the work. The fear of being unable to properly understand an issue can lead to disengagement and a lack of motivation, so address this fear with training.  These sessions should link different operations of the business to specific skills that need to be learned. Sometimes it is not the skills as much as the direction and instruction that counts. For example, simply training an accountant to handle tax filing isn’t enough. They need to be instructed on how to specifically apply their skills in a certain situation or procedure. For example, you can create a program where the most efficient employee will be sent abroad for training with paid leave. This will encourage every employee to...

Article in English: Domestic meat and dairy production requires a lot of natural resources. Eating less meat and dairy, and more plants, is one way you may be able to help the environment, and stay healthy yourself.  If you are advised to maintain animal protein in your diet, look for more sustainable practices such as localized farms, or learn to hunt responsibly. Meatless Monday is a national non-profit public health campaign that encourages people to give up meat one day a week. Visit their website at http://www.meatlessmonday.com/favorite-recipes/ for some meatless recipes. Try to avoid drinking coffee from individual-serving coffee pods. The mini pods of ground coffee for single-serve coffee makers create a lot of extra waste because they are designed to only be used one time and then thrown out. (Although some brands may be recycled after they are cleaned).  Use a mug or other reusable cup for your coffee instead of a disposable cup. If you love the convenience of single-serve coffee and have already invested in a single-serve machine, look for a washable, reusable coffee pod that will fit your appliance. Transporting food from far-off locations takes a toll on the environment. Food must be shipped in trucks, by rail, flight, or by ship—all of which produce pollutants. Buying food that is sourced locally will help eliminate or reduce the environmental impact caused by transportation. It also goes without saying that local products are more fresh. Hence, they are higher in nutrient value.   Visit farmers' markets to find local vegetables and fruits or use a CSA (community-supported agriculture) service to get fresh produce on a regular basis. Plan your meals so that you don’t cook more than you will eat. Store your leftovers and use them up at one of your meals over the next few days. If you do have an overrun of food, such as after a party, share it with friends or neighbors.

Article in English: Don't avoid your problem by shoving it under the rug. Tackle your work problem head-on and be aggressive in your strategies to prevail! If you are deciding between important job offers that each would lead you on a different course in your professional life, don't wait until the last minute to decide. Instead, gather all the information you can about each job and talk with others to make a well informed decision you will be happy about. Make pros/cons lists and to help you tackle your work problem. Think of your problem as an opportunity to improve yourself and take on new responsibilities. It can be a chance to show your boss a side of you they have never seen, which might lead to some sort of promotion. Take away all of your assumptions about your problem to help you overcome them. For example, make a list of the assumptions about a product in your industry. Then, think about what would happen if they weren't there or you did the opposite. For example, Cirque du Soleil challenged our common assumptions of what a 'circus' was, and made something innovative and profitable. Do you want to be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company or run your own restaurant? Write down your ultimate goal, and then break it down into smaller goals. Each one of these smaller goals will help in the pursuit of your larger goal. Ensure that your goals are attainable and measurable, so you can monitor your progress. Celebrate in some way after reaching each goal. Visualize what you want your life to look like in five or ten years. Assess how this problem will help or hinder your imagined future. How can you tackle this problem to ensure your future is bright, and the way you thought it would be? Visualizing a solution to your problem can also be helpful. Think about all the possible solutions and how you would achieve each. Decide which solution helps you the most and has the least amount of backlash with your colleagues. Ask for guidance from a mentor, family member, or other support group in your life. Overcoming problems can be very...

Enfrente o problema de cabeça erguida. Reestruture o problema. Estabeleça objetivos possíveis. Imagine sua vida profissional daqui a 10 anos. Converse com alguém.


Article in English: Don't be afraid to fulfill your dreams in life. You can get there by setting a series of manageable goals that will ultimately get you to where you want to go in life. Start by determining what your ultimate goal is, and then come up with five or ten steps to get you there.  It is important to set small goals that lead up to a larger goal. This will help make the big goal easier to achieve. If you don't have a goal in mind, ask yourself, "What have I always wanted to do?" For example, if you want to write a book, set smaller goals for yourself, such as writing 500 words a day or outlining a chapter every week. Once you've set your sights on a goal, you must make a plan. Break your goal down into smaller, step-by-step goals. Give each of these small goals deadlines. Think about what obstacles might stand in your way, and think about how you can overcome them.  For example, if you want to take a trip, you first need to save money. Create a plan for how you will earn extra money, and how much you will save each month until you reach your goal. If you want to lose weight, choose an approach to diet and exercise and give yourself concrete deadlines. Boldness is the opposite of hesitation. Once you have your plan in place, you have to take the leap. Seek out a community of people who are seeking the same goal, and use them to keep you motivated and accountable.  Keep yourself motivated by celebrating small victories. Instead of putting things off for the future, force yourself to take action in the moment. Now is the best time to start. Many people hold themselves back from doing things because they are afraid to fail. The truth is: everyone makes mistakes. Fearless people just aren't afraid of that inevitable downfall. Learn to embrace and expect failure, and use it as a learning experience.  For instance, if you are a writer, you could set the goal of receiving 20 rejection letters per year. If you are an athlete, compete in a tournament you know you probably won't win. If you never fail, you are never really...

Summary in Portuguese:

Estabeleça objetivos possíveis e graduais. Trace um plano. Tome uma atitude. Aprenda a aceitar seus erros.


Article in English: Don't be afraid to share your greatness. If you've gotten the hang of thinking of yourself as the top dog, it's time to start spreading the word. Here, a little finesse is required - if you simply walk around telling everyone you meet that you're great and they're garbage, people will think you're a bully or a psychopath. Instead, just use the opportunities you get in normal conversations to slip in cocky mentions of yourself.  For example, if your friends are discussing last weekend's big soccer game, you might say, "Yeah, Beckham's goal was alright, but his passing game was pretty sloppy. When  I  played club soccer, I wouldn't have let the ball get away from me so often." When you're in a competition against someone, it's very cocky to engage in a little trash talk. If you're competing against a romantic interest, it can even be a little flirtatious. Just make sure to keep away from low blows - if you're really cruel, you can get penalized or ejected. If you get a compliment (and you will), take it while subtly acknowledging that you already know you're the best. Instead of saying, "Really? Gee, thanks!" when you get a compliment, instead say "Thanks, that's great to hear." You want to give other people the impression that you're not surprised that everyone's jealous of you. Show the world that you expect to be adored. Truly cocky people have things to be cocky about. Be proud about whatever you've achieved in life.  Bring these things up whenever you get the chance. Whenever you make a new achievement, relish your victory. Celebrate with your friends. Act especially confident and self-assured afterwords. You might even consider changing your appearance after you've achieved something (within reason.) After a big sports victory, you might, for instance, wear your jersey or letterman jacket to school the next day. Be warned - rubbing an opponent's nose in his or her failure  is not  good cocky behavior. It's embarrassing for everyone involved, especially you. Being a sore winner reeks of low confidence -...

Deixe que todos saibam o quão incrível você é. Receba elogios como um campeão. Mostre suas conquistas. Faça amigos de verdade. Seja generoso com sua afetuosidade. Flerte como um profissional. Passe por cima das dificuldades inevitáveis da vida.


Article in English: Don't be the girl who forgets all about her friends every time she gets in a relationship. If it doesn't work out with this guy, you're going to need your friends to be there for you when it's over. But even more than that, guys are interested in girls who have their own lives apart from them. Let him see that you have friends and that other people enjoy spending time with you. This will make him want to spend more time with you too. There's nothing more attractive to a guy than a girl who doesn't need him. Don't be available to him every second of every day. Make plans with other people and live your life. This kind of behavior is what attracted him to you in the first place.  Call your girlfriends and go to the movies. Volunteer at your church. Do whatever you want to do with your time so that he'll feel special when you're able to spend time with him. There's nothing more unappealing to a guy than knowing a girl is sitting at home waiting for him to call. It can seem a little desperate. If you want to stay home, that's fine. But don't tell him you are staying home in case he calls.  If he said he might call you tonight, don't wait around to find out. That's what cell phones are for. He can reach you while you're out doing something. And then if he doesn't call, you didn't waste a whole night waiting around on him. Then you won't be mad and he won't feel the pressure you would have otherwise put on him. Assertiveness can be a very attractive quality. It involves setting healthy boundaries and expectations. This means that you should know what you want and you should take steps to go after it. Don't let other people (your man included) dictate the direction of your life. It's okay to be agreeable, but make sure that you have your own opinions so that people don't walk all over you.

Summary in Portuguese:

Tenha os seus próprios amigos. Faça planos sem ele. Não o espere telefonar. Seja mais firme ao falar.


Article in English: Don't be too obvious with the question or your parents might suspect something and drop in to check on you! Unless you are sure of when your parents might return, it's worth calling them to find out before starting out on this adventure.  Ask general questions like "Will you be home for dinner?" or "What time should I have my chores done before you get back?", etc. Try slipping the question into idle conversation.  You could say something like, "Oh, we can go out for ice cream if you'll be back before the shop closes up!" Or maybe tell them to call you when they start heading home.   You never know when an unexpected arrival could catch you off guard and create an... awkward situation. Even definite schedules change and in this case, it's better to be safe than sorry!

Summary in Portuguese:

Descubra quando seus pais voltarão. Se já saíram, ligue para eles. Espere até que seus pais estejam longe de casa antes de tirar qualquer peça de roupa. Dispa-se depois de garantir que ninguém poderá te ver de fora da casa. Separe uma muda de roupas "de emergência". Vista-se novamente bem antes de alguém voltar para casa.


Article in English: Don't blast it, or try to drown out the sound of the fireworks. Play the music at a normal volume level. Just enough so you can easily hear the music. Piano playing music is great. If you typically keep a television on in your home, consider putting it on your regular programming at a slightly increased volume from what you normally use. This way the sound of the television will help drown out a bit of the fireworks while also helping her feel that everything is normal. There are several herbs that are tasty and appealing to cats and that have stress-reducing properties. Try one or more of these:  Catnip is a classic cat treat, which helps your cat feel less stressed by giving a slight feeling of drunkenness and calmness. Because it first works by stimulating the cat and then causes feelings of calm, you should give it to her fifteen minutes before the fireworks begin. Keep a plant of live catnip in your home for special occasions, or purchase a toy that is infused with cat nip. Try valerian root, which has the same effect as catnip but usually results in a cat falling asleep. That should definitely calm her down!  Experiment with dried flowers. There are a few types that are soothing and safe for cats: chamomile, hops, and a combination sold under the name Bach Rescue Remedy. You can find all of these online or in some health food stores. Use a calm, relaxed voice, say things along the lines of "It's okay honey" or "Calm down, it's ok." Stroke her gently. It really doesn't matter what you say. If your cat is used to your voice and loves you, she will likely be comforted by anything you say. In fact, you could read the newspaper aloud or read your favorite novel and she wouldn't mind. It would help to reassure her that you are with her and not leaving her.

Article in English: Don't forget to observe the patient while taking readings to see if they seem worried. Have them sit in a relaxed position with their legs uncrossed. Pay attention to see if they are in obvious distress or if they have something wrong with them that's visible to the naked eye. Sometimes, weight is included in vital signs. To weigh a patient, ask them to get on a scale, and then write down the number. Make no judgment on the person's weight, whether by comment, facial expression, or body language. For this vital, you'll need to ask the person how they are feeling and to rate their pain on a scale from 0-10. Of course, everyone's pain scale will be different, but if you can get a good idea of what level of pain the person is having, that helps assess their overall condition. First say, "Are you in any pain?" If the answer is "yes," ask "Can you rate your pain on a scale of 0-10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain you've ever felt?" Oxygen saturation is how much oxygen is in your blood. It is an important indicator of whether the patient is breathing properly and/or pumping blood to the body properly. A simple device that fits over the patient's fingernail will give you a reading for oxygen saturation, which normally is at 95 to 100 percent.

Summary in Portuguese:

Observe o paciente. Pese o paciente. Discuta os níveis de dor. Faça a leitura de saturação de oxigênio.


Article in English: Don't just nod your head and say "uh uh" but practice active listening. When practicing active listening you need to ask questions and paraphrase back important points to demonstrate your involvement and interest. You are never done learning about your partner, nor they about you, and learning starts with good listening. A good, deep relationship requires lifelong maintenance and effort, but the effort is worth it for the support, security and love from someone who really knows you. Listen when your partner talks. Respect your partner's opinion by allowing them to express it in full, even if you disagree. Take the time to really understand your partner's views by asking questions and attempting to paraphrase what they are saying to you. Do not simply try to fix the symptoms, but when your partner or you is unhappy take the time to explore and understand what is the source of the problem and fix that. For example if your wife is mad that you spend too much time with the guys and doesn't want you to go out, you could treat the symptom and just stop ever hanging out with the boys, but this is not a healthy long-term fix. Instead you should explore the numerous reasons why she doesn't like you spending time with the guys. Ask questions and listen to her without judging to uncover her motivations. You may find that:  A) She is jealous of other women at the bars you go to with the boys. Solution: Change the venue, or invite her to "drop by" and see that nothing unseemly is going on. B) She thinks you do not like to spend time with her and do not like her. Solution: Schedule regularly quality time with her, and verbally ensure her that you enjoy her company too. C) She thinks that your hanging out with the boys unfairly burdens her. This is especially true if you have kids, as your hanging out with the boys means that she is on solo baby duty. Solution: Offer to give her a day out with the girls too. And make sure you are not falling behind on household chores when you do go out.

Ouça. Respeite o outro. Chegar à raiz do problema.


Article in English: Don't lecture your Labrador. Your commands need to be simple and consistent. "No", "Drop", "Wait" are strong, simple, and direct. "Stop doing that, oh for goodness sake" or "Oi, stop eating my shoe" will not work as they are too complicated. Remember that dogs don't process language like humans do. In general, shouting at any dog is ineffective. This is especially true for Labradors who are an excitable breed by nature. Use a firm voice when instructing your dog; don't yell or lose control. Dogs are very intuitive and will be able to sense your frustration and may react in kind. Firm and assertive commands will communicate to the Labrador what you want him to do. Admonishing a Labrador too long after the incident is ineffective. If you need to admonish or correct your dog, it needs to be done during or within a few seconds of the act. Dogs will have forgotten the event within seconds of its occurrence, so it's key to address the behavior immediately in order to facilitate the retraining process. If you live in a household of more than one, your family also needs training. Explain to your family as well as visitors to your home about what your dog is and is not allowed to do. For example, if you do not allow anyone to feed your Labrador at the dinner table, then you need to let others know about that rule. If other family members or visitors don't know about this rule, they may feed your dog, which is confusing for him and will disrupt the training you have done.

Summary in Portuguese:

Seja direito e preciso. Seja firme e mantenha o controle. Seja oportuno em suas respostas e comandos. Treine a família.


Article in English: Don't let anyone see the number your write down. You'll reveal this secret number at the end of the trick, to your audience's delight. Any 4-digit number will work for this trick. Hand the calculator to the volunteer and have them enter the number. For instance, if your volunteer picks the number “7893,” they would type  "78937893" into the calculator. Have your volunteer verify this by dividing the 8-digit number in the calculator by 137. Any number made by repeating a 4-digit number twice will be evenly divisible by 137. For example, 78,937,893 divided by 137 is 576,189. Your volunteer will get an answer of 73 every time if you've followed the directions right. It doesn’t matter which number they started with. For instance, after dividing 78,937,893 by 137 to get 576,189, the volunteer would divide 576,189 by 7,893. Have your friend or volunteer open the folded piece of paper. Be prepared for your audience to go wild when your prediction of 73 is revealed! Don't reveal the math behind the trick! A good magician knows how to keep their secrets.

Summary in Portuguese:

Escreva “73” em um pedaço de papel, dobre-o e dê a um amigo ou voluntário. Diga ao participante para escolher um número de quatro dígitos e colocá-lo na calculadora duas vezes. Diga que o número é divisível por 137 e não produz resto ou casas decimais. Peça ao voluntário para dividir o resultado pelo número de quatro dígitos original. Faça o participante mostrar a sua previsão.


Article in English: Don't let it cool all the way. You just want it cool enough so you're able to touch it without burning yourself. After the spaghetti squash has been out of the oven or microwave for a few minutes, touch it with the tip of your finger. If the spaghetti squash doesn't burn you, it's cool enough. Discard the spaghetti squash’s outer skin. Season the spaghetti squash to taste with salt and pepper. You can also top the spaghetti squash with grated parmesan cheese or fresh herbs.

Article in English: Don't let previous annoyances or disputes from the day roll into a conflict with your friend. Are you upset with your friend or are you upset about traffic delays earlier and taking your frustration out on your friend? Also, be conscious about your friend rolling his stressors onto you. Perhaps your friend feels overwhelmed with school or work or children and doesn't have an outlet for stress. Unfortunately, people take stress out on other people. Keep it in perspective. Think about any stressors in your friend's life that may be setting him off. Then, talk about it with him, showing genuine concern. After gaining some perspective, have some empathy. It's probable your friend doesn't know how to deal with the stress he experiences, and is displacing this stress onto other people. The ability to show you understand how another person feels can be the single most powerful communication skill. It allows the person to feel heard and diffuses conflict.  Having empathy does not mean you  agree with their perspective, but it does mean you show your understanding of their feelings (i.e. “I can understand you felt upset by that.”) Reflect what your friend says and feels. “I hear you saying that you feel stressed and overwhelmed. I'd feel the same if I was in your shoes. I totally get why this is a hard time for you.” Conflict often arises due to differing needs, or needs not being expressed sufficiently. If two people feel  accepted, supported, and understood, it's unlikely conflict will occur. Think about what underlies what your friend is expressing. Then consider ways that you may not be supporting or accepting your friend. Realize that conflicts will continue to fester until you deal with them head-on.  Maybe your friend wants to spend more time together than you've been available to spend. Think about ways you can support your friend. Show that you are there for him. If you're not sure what your friend needs, talk to him. Ask, “How can I be a better friend?” Approach your friend and say you'd like to discuss the...

Article in English: Don't procrastinate! Waiting until the end of the quarter to study or, even worse, cramming the night before a test dooms you to poor grades. Your brain won't have enough time to really understand the material and log it away. Cramming leads you to remember things incorrectly or not at all. Basically, you should set aside time every night to go over material from the previous week and make sure you remember and understand everything.  This means that when you study for a test, all you have to do is a quick refresher. Try to return to old material as much as possible, to help solidify the ideas in your mind. Having good notes allows you to quickly go over the material and refresh your memory. If you didn't understand it the first time, your notes will give you a road map to finding the information that you need. Organize your notes by topic and go over them one topic at a time. Sometimes topics that are related are covered at very different points in the year. You might have to pair information you learned in September with information you learned in January, to get a full picture of it. . Sometimes your teacher may give you a study guide, but if not, you should make your own. A study guide breaks up the information that might be covered on the test and then lists out the most important facts and ideas. These are usually used for preparing for tests but they can also be used for keeping up with regular subjects as well. Make one for yourself each time you finish a unit and you will be prepared for anything your teacher could throw your way. Make study cards. Study cards are like little study guides, with a single concept or set of facts to one note card. You can then study these like flash cards, giving yourself 2-3 per day, covering material from previous weeks so that it stays fresh in your mind. Have you ever seen a mind map? This is where someone writes down an idea on a card and places it on a wall, then connects other cards with similar ideas to the first. You can do this for studying too! Make charts,...

Article in English: Don't push the hook all the way through - the hook should be inside the worm's body but not coming the other side. This method of baiting is a little more difficult and increases the chance that a fish will take your worm without biting the hook, but it's much more attractive to fish. You'll go through more worms this way, but you'll also get more bites. Work the worm around the hook's curve like you'd push a sock up your leg. This step is difficult - be careful not to split the worm in half by pulling the hook's barb through the worm's body again. Pierce the point of the hook through the worm so that it's sticking out of its side. Allow the rest of the worm's body to dangle limply below the hook. Because so much of the worm is allowed to hang free of the hook, the worm's wiggling will be much more visible to fish in the water than in the standard method. It's also easier for fish to take the "free" portion of the worm without biting the hook. This method is high-risk, high reward. If you're using this method, make sure you have plenty of worms handy - you'll go through them quickly. If you can't seem to get the hang of it and keep splitting your worms in half, you can still use the torn segments of worm as bait by simply by spearing them on the hook just under the barb.

Article in English: Don't raise your voice, call your spouse names, or get sarcastic. Acting nasty will put a stop to any productive discussion you might have had. If you feel your temper rising, call a time-out and regain your composure before continuing the conversation. If you're getting too angry to talk rationally, go somewhere by yourself and take a few deep breaths, or blow off steam by taking a walk around the block. Argue about one thing at a time. Don't drag unrelated issues or old grudges into the conversation. Leave the past where it belongs – behind you. If you've already forgiven your spouse for something, don't dredge it up again as ammunition for your current argument. For instance, if you're arguing about how often to mow the lawn, don't bring up an old disagreement about where your kids should go to school. Stay civil and polite. Some things, like name-calling or picking at your spouse's insecurities, should remain off-limits during an argument. If you're angry enough that you want to say something to hurt your spouse, step away and cool down by yourself.  For example, if your husband makes a rash decision, resist the urge to call him "stupid" or "an idiot." Even if you feel it's true in the moment, it will only make communication and conflict resolution even harder. Ask your spouse to explain their perspective so that you can understand why they made the decision. Then you can calmly discuss the issue including input from both of you. Give your spouse the benefit of the doubt. Don't put words in their mouth or look for reasons to assume the worst. Make sure you understand what they're saying before you answer them.  For example, your spouse tells you they need some space and you assume they are trying to leave the marriage. Ask for clarification. "Space" could simple mean more time and room to think things over. If something is bothering you, address it. Don't spend time by yourself stewing over what may have been an innocent action or remark.
