Article in English: If you want a quality leather belt, buy a full grain leather belt blank. Full grain leather belt blanks are generally inexpensive, costing around $13 dollars. You can buy a leather belt blank online from Ebay or you can go to a leather store.  Make sure the leather strap is the right width, for a man, you will usually want a belt 1 ½ inches in width. If you are a woman, you usually want to buy one that is 1 ¼ inches width.   You can also buy embossed belt blanks to give your belt a little more style. You can buy silver or gold roller belt buckles from department stores like Walmart or Target. You can buy roller buckles and a variety of big belt buckles from Western stores. A belt keep is a little leather strip that holds the overlapping belt strap. Find one that is the same width/color as your belt blank. This should only be about a dollar. When you go to buy your belt buckle, ask about a belt keep. Because the leather that you are buying is untreated, you will need to preserve it by conditioning the leather with a balm. You can also use a water based leather dye to preserve your leather instead if you would like. If you do not condition or dye your leather and water gets on your leather blank, your leather will stain forever. On the side with the holes, insert the middle pin of the buckle through the hole and fold the leather strap down. Then snap the snaps into place to secure your strap. Put on your belt and cinch it to a place where it is comfortable. Mark on the inside of the belt with a sharpie where you will punch a hole. If you don’t have a leather hole punch you can very carefully use a power drill to make your hole(s). You can also add more holes and space them about an 1 inch apart. Once your belt is back on, you should see how much you want your belt strap to overlap in the front. Use a sharpie to mark the place on the inside of your belt. Where you marked with your sharpie, you should shape an end. You can use a gatorade cap to make a half circle shape on the strap. With an Xacto knife, carefully...

Article in English: If you want a specific font on your page number, simply double click it. It should be highlighted in blue, like any other text you would highlight on Word. From there, simply adjust the font, color, and size normally. It will carry automatically through the entire document. If you want to start a page later in the document at "1," you'll need to break the page up. First, place your cursor at the beginning of the page you want to restart. Then:  Click "Page Layout" → "Breaks" from the top bar. Select "Next Page" under "Breaks." Double click on the current page number. Click on "Page Number," then "Format Page Numbers." Select the bubble labeled "Start At," then select "1" to restart the page count at one. To do so, double-click again on your header or footer to bring up the correct menu. Then find the box labeled "Different First Page" and check it. Now, you can freely click on the first page number and delete it, keeping the rest of your numbers intact.  Many times, just clicking on the "Different First Page" button automatically erases the first page number. Most presentations and papers don't need a first page number -- it's the first one, so of course it is "1." If you want to go the extra mile, double-click on the header or footer once again. Click "Page Numbers," then click "Format Page Numbers" under the menu that appears. From here, you can set different types of numbers, like Roman numerals or letters, as well as customize the basic appearance of numbers. It is not incredibly robust, but it works.

Article in English: If you want a truly distressed and aged look, but are working with shiny, new aluminum, you can sand it down. Use 80-grit sandpaper to rough up the surface of the metal. Wear a mask and protective gloves when working with bleach. Do this in a well-ventilated area so fumes can easily disperse. Put regular bleach in a spray bottle and spray it onto the aluminum. Set the aluminum outside in the sun for several hours. The sun speeds up the process and helps the bleach distress the metal. Soon, the chemical reaction will create an aged look on your aluminum. Use running water to rinse the bleach off the aluminum, or soak the aluminum in a container of water for a few minutes. If your aluminum piece has electronic parts or other things that would prevent you from rinsing or submerging it in water, use a clean, white cloth to wipe the bleach off the surface of the aluminum.

Article in English: If you want people to like you for who you are, you have to also like yourself. Remind yourself of your positive traits and try to let those be the ones you display to others. When people notice the confident way you hold yourself, they'll realize you're someone worth being around. Practicing confident habits lowers anxiety and improves social performance, which can make you more outgoing and help those around you feel at ease. First impressions are important, and they tend to stick with people. If you want to be well-liked, your manner of dress should be expressive and make it clear that you take the impression you make on others seriously. Don't worry about following trends or styling yourself in a way you think your peers would approve of; dress to make yourself comfortable, confident and approachable.  Investing in your appearance isn't just about having cool clothes. It means adjusting your attitude and behavior to highlight your most attractive qualities. Get in the habit of bathing and grooming regularly, get plenty of sleep, and make sure you engage in some sort of physical activity. This might sound strange, but starting the day off with a solid meal has been shown to wake you up and increase energy levels throughout the day, and can give you that critical brainpower you need to be at your best. Choose whole, healthy foods, like proteins, fruits and whole grains--the energy boost you get from cleaner foods lasts longer and you'll also feel better.  Eating in the morning doesn't have to be complicated: good morning nutrition can be as simple as a bowl of oatmeal, or a muffin with a banana and a glass of milk. If you're short on time or not accustomed to having breakfast at home, most public schools provide a basic breakfast for students who arrive early enough. It might be scary to talk to somebody you don't know, but remember that the other kids are just as new to things as you, or were at one time. Put your best foot forward. Strike up conversation when you can, be friendly and smile at everyone you...

Article in English: If you want something more casual, wrap a skinny scarf once around your neck and then toss one end over your shoulder. Leave the other end hanging down the front. This makes for a cute style that can be worn for a casual get-together with friends. A skinny scarf can be used as a creative replacement for a conventional necklace, giving your outfit a unique look. Wrap your scarf in a snug fashion around your neck and tie it in the back. You'll be left with a strip of scarf lining your neck like a choker necklace. This can work for both formal and informal occasions. For a carefree look, wrap the scarf around your neck and let the loose ends hand down in front. Then, tie them into a sloppy knot, making one end a little longer than the other. This helps create a carefree image that works great for informal events. If you're wearing a skinny scarf somewhere like a rock concert, this can be a great look for the show. If you want something feminine and formal, add a bow with your scarf. Tie the scarf around your neck, with the loose ends hanging out in the front. Then, tie the loose ends into a neat bow for a decorative flare. This works great with formal blouses or dresses. Do not limit wearing your scarf around your neck. You can turn the scarf into a headband by tying it over your forehead. You can also use it as a cute alternative to a belt by tying it around your waist. Getting a little creative with the placement of your scarf can translate to a unique accessory. If you're wearing a looser shirt, tying a skinny scarf around your waist can help highlight your figure.

Article in English: If you want that job back, you need to know as soon as possible when it might become available again. You'll need to keep in contact with your former co-workers to see if work is picking up or getting too much to handle. You may even want to let your former boss know you're still available if they decide to hire another person. If you knew your boss or co-workers well, try to keep in touch outside of work. Have lunch or dinner with them. Join them for birthday parties or cookouts. You may want to have a social event and invite them to join you. Go ahead and put your most recent job at the top of your job history. Use your time off to refresh and polish the document. Take time with your job summary to highlight the important work you performed. Emphasize the skills you gained from working at the company and what you have learned since. If you were laid off then chances are people in the company liked your work until business died down. People trust those that they know. They know they can rely on you if additional help is required. Go ahead and find people willing to vouch for you when business picks up again. Go ahead and ask them to permit you to include them on your list of references. Co-workers are great references. Your boss or other managers and supervisors are better though. Their word means more to hiring personnel. Be careful to only use those references that you know will be positive though. Better to have co-workers who like you than a manager that barely tolerates you. They may not be hiring but they will know you are serious about working for you again. If they need you your updated documentation will be on file. Hopefully they will be in touch soon. If the company you previously worked for knows you are interested in your old job they may have you on their list. Pay close attention to new trends and projects your former co-workers tell you about. If work suddenly picks up they may call you hoping you are available almost immediately. This saves them a lot of time and money forgoing an extensive...

Article in English: If you want the boy you like to ask you to an upcoming dance, you have to make sure he knows who you are. If you’re not already friends, start doing some of the same things he does – maybe he’s in chess club or on the debate team or he plays an instrument. Joining one of the clubs or teams he belongs to will give you an opportunity to hang out with him. If you are already friends and spend time together at school, increase the amount of time you spend together by asking him if he wants to hang out after school.  Don’t join a club or a team you don’t like just because he’s part of it. You could find something that you enjoy doing and ask him to join you. Before you ask anyone to hang out after school, make sure you check that it’s okay with your parents first. If you end up in the same club or on the same team, and even if you were already friends, he won’t know that you're interested in him if you don’t talk to him. Ask him about himself and tell him a little bit about yourself. If you’re really nervous about talking to him, you can start a conversation by talking about the activity you’re doing together.  For example, you can say something like “Hey, so I’m new to chess club but you seem to be really good at it. How did you learn to play?” Or “I play the violin but I always wanted to play guitar. I know that you've been playing for a while. Is it hard to learn?" If you’re already friends and you’re trying to talk about something new, tell him something he doesn’t already know about you. For example, you could tell him about your favorite band or your favorite place to go on vacation. If you’re already friends with one of his friends, tell them that you're interested in him. They will probably tell him that they're friends with you - if he doesn't know already - and mention that you like him. For example, you could say to one of his friends, “You're friends with Jimmy, right? I just joined the band that he's in and I've noticed he's really cool.” If you’re not comfortable talking to his friends about how you...

Article in English: If you want the girl to feel like she means something to you, then you have to show an interest in her life. This doesn't mean you should grill her and make her feel like you're interrogating her, but it does mean that you should make her see that you care about her interests, her friends and family, and the things that are important to her. Here are some things to keep in mind:  Ask her about her dance classes or any sports she plays. Girls love talking about their interests. Ask her about her pets. If she has a cat or a dog, she'll love that you care. Ask her about her friends. Girls love talking about their friends — and any drama that they may be dealing with. Make sure that you have a balance. She should find out things about you, too, instead of revealing a lot without getting anything back. If you want the girl to see that she matters to you, then you should ask for her opinion on a variety of subjects to let her see that you care about what she thinks. You can flirt with her just by asking if she likes your new shoes or asking what she thinks you should do for your next haircut, but you can also ask her opinion on more serious matters.  If you had an interesting debate in a class you had together, you can talk to her after class to see what she thinks on the matter. If you know that you both just saw a new movie, you can ask her if she liked it and why or why not. Ask about her favorite music. See what she likes and doesn't like to listen to -- who knows, you may even end up going to a concert together. If you want to make her feel special, then you should compliment both her appearance and her personality. You shouldn't go over the top and say anything that makes her uncomfortable; for example, don't say, "You are the most beautiful girl in the world," instead, say, "Hey, I like your shirt. It matches your eyes perfectly." Here are some other nice complements that can make her feel special without overwhelming her:  "I have so much fun talking to you." "You have a great laugh." "Has anyone ever told...

Article in English: If you want the girl to feel wooed and to stay interested, then, well, you have to let her know how you feel about her -- at least, a little bit. When the moment is right, give her a sincere compliment that makes her see that you're really paying attention. Make it specific, and don't just focus on her appearance. She'll be really impressed by your ability to find what's special about her, whether you're complimenting her personality or something else that makes her special. Here are some things you can say:  "You're so easy to talk to. I feel like I can say anything to you." "You're really good at making people feel comfortable right away. How do you do that?" "You have the most amazing laugh I've ever heard. Wow." Once you've gotten to know each other a bit and the girl is starting to feel properly wooed, you can start to dig deeper to find things you have in common. Let it arise naturally in the conversation. If she mentions where she's from, you can ask if she likes the baseball team from her city; don't force it. Once you find some things you have in common, the woman will feel more connected with you. Here are some places where you can find common ground:  Sports teams Travel experiences Hobbies Passions Family Pets If you want the girl to feel wooed, then she can't feel like you take yourself too seriously. Make a joke at your own expense and show that you're aware that you're not the world's most perfect man. She'll really appreciate that you're lighthearted enough to have a good time instead of worrying about impressing her every five seconds. It'll take the pressure off, and she'll be even more charmed by you. This doesn't mean you should make a million self-deprecating comments. You don't want her to feel like you have low confidence. Once you're comfortable with each other, you can begin to tease the girl a bit. Make her feel like you're just having a good time and not trying too hard to impress her. This doesn't mean you shouldn't still be nice to her, but you can poke fun at her, too, if you...

Article in English: If you want to be confident, make yourself look bigger. A tall stance tends to exude confidence. Work on being conscious of how you're carrying yourself throughout the day.  Keep your posture straight. Hold your shoulders behind your back. Make sure to hold your head high. When standing, keep your feet close together. Relax your knees while centering your weight on your lower body. This way, you’ll stay grounded to the earth. Confident people give off enthusiasm in conversation. If you want to appear more confident, you can look people in the eye as you speak. However, make sure to hold eye contact when others speak as well. Do not look away when you finish talking. Maintain eye contact throughout the course of a conversation. Avoid common behaviors that imply distraction, such as looking at your phone or scanning the room. Fronting means aiming your torso towards the person you're talking to. This can help make you look confident and engaged in conversation. As you go about your day, be aware of your body's position during conversation. Make sure to keep your torso directed towards the person you're speaking to, as this will make you look more confident. Talking with your hands can make you look animated about the topic. Excitement and enthusiasm can be read as confidence about the matter at hand. Also, you may sound more animated when you gesticulate.  Move your hands as you talk to help illustrate a subject. Go with what feels natural to you. If you don't gesticulate often, try practicing in front of a mirror to find hand motions that feel comfortable. While gesticulating can help, strive to keep your hand movements under control. Something too wild or out of control may be off-putting. Staying relaxed and open makes people feel at ease with you. You appear confident as you look more comfortable talking with others. Make sure you're not closing yourself off with your body language. Open gestures can help exude confidence.  Make sure to show the palms of your hands when you're talking. Avoid crossing your...

Article in English: If you want to be perky, a positive attitude is key. Seek to surround yourself with positive, happy people. You'll end up feeling happier and, as a result, acting perkier.  Make plans with people who have positive attitudes. Make plans with the co-worker who always brings in muffins on a Wednesday. Call family members you can count on to have a positive attitude. If your mom is always looking on the bright side of life, give her a call every Sunday to keep your spirits up. Avoid friends who are negative. You do not have to end these friendships. However, try not to engage with complaining or other negative thought patterns. If you want to come off as perky, active listening can help. Active listening is a form of listening that encourages mutual understanding. It can also make you look more alert and engaged with another person, allowing you to come off as perky.  As the speaker talks, offer verbal and non-verbal cues that you are paying attention. Smile, nod, and offer responses like, "Yes" and "Uh-huh" on occasion. When the speaker finishes talking, reiterate what was just said. Summarize the main points the speaker made to assure that you understood. For example, "I'm hearing that you feel stressed because you have a deadline coming up at work." Do not plan what you have to say ahead of time. Simply listen to the speaker, giving him or her your full attention. Gossip has a bad reputation, but positive gossip can actually be helpful to your relationships with others. Perky people are thought of as cheerful and positive. Always saying nice things about others can help you be perkier.  When you hear someone engaging in negative talk about a friend or co-worker, try to turn the conversation to the positive. For example, someone says something like, "Did you hear Patrick having a screaming fight with his dad on the phone before class yesterday?" Respond with something like, "Patrick is such a nice person! I hope he can work out his family problems."  Positive gossip can encourage others to look for the best in...

Article in English: If you want to browse truly anonymously, there are several things you'll want to set up before going online. This may seem like a lot of hassle, but following these steps is the only way to ensure that you have some semblance of anonymity online. This method will help you configure your own person VPN on your own personal, out-of-country server. This is much more secure than subscribing to a VPN service, as you can't always trust a company to be safe with your data. Your computer has a lot of services that connect to the internet, each of which can compromise your online anonymity without you realizing it. Windows is especially insecure, as well as Mac OS X to a lesser extent. The first step to being anonymous is to install Linux to a virtual machine, which is like a computer within a computer.  A virtual computer has a "wall" around it that prevents any data from crossing over to your physical computer. This is essential for keeping your physical computer's signature from showing up while browsing anonymously.  Click here for detailed instructions on installing Linux on a virtual machine. The entire process is free, but may take about an hour. TailsOS is one of the most popular privacy-oriented Linux distributions. It is very lightweight and entirely encrypted. This will set you back a few dollars every month, but will help ensure that you are browsing anonymously. It is important to subscribe to a VPS in another country, so that traffic to and from the VPS can't be tracked to your home IP address.  You will be using your VPS to install VPN (Virtual Private Network) software onto. This will allow you to connect through your VPN, masking your actual IP address. Pick a VPS service that allows you to pay with methods that don't reveal your identity, such as DarkCoin. Once you sign up for a VPS, you'll need to install your own operating system on it. Install one of the following Linux distributions to allow easy setup for your VPN: Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, or Debian. Note that your VPS provider can still be hit...

Article in English: If you want to cover vitiligo patches, regular department store make-up won't cut it. You'll need to buy specialized make-up designed to cover discolorations caused by vitiligo, referred to as camouflage or cover make-up. Skin camouflage is typically used by both men and women. It does not look like you're wearing make-up. It just smooths out discolored patches of skin.  Skin camouflage usually must be ordered online. You may be able to purchase it from your dermatologist's office. It does not require a prescription. You should select a shade that matches your regular skin tone. You may have to do some trial and error when purchasing camouflage products. It may take awhile to find a tone that best suits your skin.  Skin camouflage is safe for adults and children. You can wear it safely all day as it tends to stay on very well. Once you've obtained your product, you should cleanse the skin in the areas where you plan on applying camouflage make-up. This simply means to wash your skin thoroughly, using an antibacterial soap. Pat dry with a clean rag when you're finished. Keep in mind you should check your product's instructions before starting. While most products suggest you cleanse your skin first, some products may have special instructions for use. Always read instructions before using a new skin camouflage product. Once you've cleansed your skin, it may be necessary to moisturize. You'll be coating your skin in quite a few layers of skin camouflage, so if your skin is already dry or sensitive a moisturizer may help. However, some types of skin camouflage recommend you not moisturize, so check your product's label first.  Most people do well with a water-based moisturizer with a light feel. Greasy or oily moisturizers may irritate skin. However, if your skin is dry, oily, or otherwise sensitive, you may need a special moisturizer.  If you have dry skin, go for an oil-based moisturizer as this will help rehydrate. If your skin is very dry or cracked, look for a petroleum-based product. If your skin is very...

Article in English: If you want to drive your boyfriend crazy, then you have to be adventurous and be excited about making love or just hooking up in new places. If you're always getting it on on the couch or the bed, your moves may begin to feel stale, so you should mix things up from time to time so your boyfriend is still crazy about you and so that your relationship and love life feel fresh. Here are some places to try:  Try "christening" a new room in your house or apartment by making love there. Pull the car over to a private and scenic location and have fun kissing each other. Take it back to high school and have fun kissing your man at the movies. Go on a sexy vacation and have fun having hooking up in a completely new environment. There's nothing wrong with sneaking off to your friend's balcony in the middle of a party and stealing a few kisses. You can be adventurous in the safety of your own bed or home. If you're always making love or hooking up in the same position, mix things up next time. If you're always on top and your man is on the bottom, switch roles from time to time. You can make a game of hooking up only in new positions for a while, and cycling through a variety of positions before making it back to same old, same old. Trying out new moves is a great way to keep things fresh -- just make sure you're not doing anything that doesn't make you comfortable. If you want to drive your boyfriend crazy, then you can't keep doing the same old stuff together, or your relationship can begin to lose its luster.

Article in English: If you want to easily fill in your lines, first use a pencil to trace your artwork onto the mug. You can use words, phrases, images, or patterns. Make your marks dark enough so you can see them on the mug. If your lines aren't perfect, that's okay! Touch them up later when you create your image. You can purchase adhesive stencils, or you can use other stencils and tape them to the mug. Then, trace over your image using a pencil. This helps you easily transfer your design to your mug. You can also use a combination of stencils and freehand drawings to personalize your mug. If you want to create stripes or section off areas, rip off pieces of masking tape about 2–4 in (5.1–10.2 cm) long, and stick them to your mug as desired. The tape acts as a stencil, so you can easily create straight lines. Prepping your mug with masking tape helps you easily create your designs. To easily personalize your mug, purchase paint markers. Press down on the tip to get the paint started, then fill in the lines you drew with pencil. Paint markers work just like regular markers, except they are more fluid and dry thicker.  If any extra paint gets applied to the mug, quickly wipe it up with a damp cloth. For stubborn markers, dip a cotton swab in nail polish remover, and dab away the mark. Alternatively, you can use an oil-based Sharpie marker. if you want hand-painted look. Make sure your paint is safe to use for ceramic or glass surfaces (this will be listed on the packaging). Squeeze out a nickel-size amount of paint on a piece of cardboard, and dip the tip of your paint brush into the paint. Then, fill in your design using your paintbrush. If you want to apply multiple coats, let the first coat dry completely, which can take 20 to 60 minutes.  Use a small paintbrush to create small designs, or go with a medium paintbrush to make large designs. Try using chalkboard paint to make a mug that you can directly write messages onto. Use glitter paint for a sparkly touch. Tape or stencil a design on the mug first. Squeeze a few drops of...

Article in English: If you want to fight, you'll need to be in the fighting stance. To do this, just spread your legs about shoulder's width apart and bend your knees slightly so you're not standing completely upright. You need to stay balanced so you don't get thrown to the ground. Stay loose. Bounce slightly as you adjust your position by taking small steps, and keep your hands up to shield your face. The first thing you have to do is make your fist the right way. To make an effective fist, fold your four fingers downward into your hand and place your thumb on the outside of your fingers -- not on the inside, unless you want to break your thumb. Punch your opponent in their nose or stomach to cause some serious damage. The simple straight punch is best for untrained fighters. Here's how you do it:  Keep your elbow bent at a 30-45 degree angle in front of your face, and keep your hands up at all times. Extend the fist along with your elbow and shoulder, straightening your arm. Push your weight through your shoulder and into your arm, connecting the punch at the peak of your extension to get the most force for your hit. Once you've gained your footing, don't hesitate. Throwing the first punch is much more likely to throw off your opponent and will give you the dominant position in the fight. Don't spend too much time stepping around your opponent or trying to get in the perfect position. Instead, punch them once you have a clear shot. Use the beginning of the fight to get an idea for how your opponent performs. Base your own fighting objectives on your strengths and his or her weaknesses:  If you're taller, try to keep your opponent at a distance. Your longer limbs will allow you to strike over a distance that your opponent can't cover. If you're shorter, hurry up and get close. They'll try to keep you at a distance to use their height to their advantage. If you're faster, get in fast, strike fast, and get out fast. Do your fighting in effective bursts. If you're slower, keep it simple. Make the opponent come to you, as opposed...

Article in English: If you want to find three modes, select a range of three cells. If you select fewer cells than the number of modes you wish to find, you will see only that many modes. The MODE.MULT function's format is "=MODE.MULT(Cx:Dy)," where C and D represent the letter of the column of the first and last cell in the range, and x and y represent the number of the first and last row in the range. (As with the MODE function, you'll most usually enter data in cells of the same column and use the same column letter for the first and last cell of the range, or in cells of the same row and use the same row number for the first and last cell of the range.) MODE.MULT can also be used by specifying individual cells or constants within the parentheses, but either option should be used with only very small data sets that you don't plan to change. If you set your spreadsheet for manual calculation press F9 to see the result. For a data set of 2,1,3,4,3,2,1,7,1,2,3,8 entered in cells 1 through 12 of Column A, the formula =MODE.MULT(A1:A12) will return 1, 2 and 3 as the modes, as each appears three times in the data set.

A função MODO.MULT está disponível somente no Microsoft Excel 2010 e 2013.


Article in English: If you want to get more rebounds, developing the right mindset is key. Understand that proper rebounding techniques are as important as dribbling, shooting, and other skills.  Make rebounding a priority. If you're able to rebound a lot of shots, you increase your team's chances at victory. Gaining control of the ball as fast and often as possible is key to a successful game. Always be on the lookout for potential rebounds when playing basketball.  Be aggressive. Go into the game ready to take control of the ball. Do not shy away from boxing players out when necessary. Having a "loose ball" mentality, meaning you're lax in regards to who is controlling the ball and when, decreases your chances of winning. Go into each game ready to be aggressive and go for rebounds when possible. Most shots in basketball, especially first shots, are missed. Even at the professional level, players only make 43% of their first shot attempts. Therefore, each time a shot is taken you have a solid shot at a rebound. Learn to be aware of the factors that increase the likelihood of a rebound.  Pay attention to your opponents as the game progresses. Players have preferences as to where they shoot the ball. If you notice one player tends to always shoot from the right corner, go to the right corner when that player has the ball. This way, if the shot is a rebound, you have a solid chance of intercepting it.  Understand the angle the shot is likely to follow. If a shot is taken anywhere from the wing to the baseline, 80% of the time these shots will rebound from the same angle. Shots taken above the foul line rebound to sides 60% of the time and from the front of the rim 40% of the time.  Keeping this information in mind, watch where shots are made. Move to the part of the court where they're likely to rebound. You will not make every rebound this way, but you will increase your chances greatly. Just as you need to practice skills like shooting and dribbling, engage in exercises that develop your rebounding skills. McHale taps are one...

Article in English: If you want to go out on a date and feel like you shouldn’t be too forward, ask him indirectly. For example, tell him what you’re doing this weekend, and see how he responds.  You could text, “What are your plans for the weekend? I’m going out to eat. You?” Another example is, “Don’t know about you, but I predict I’ll be parched after work Thursday. Drinks?” Leave a conversation at a point where you’re both deeply engaged. This will leave the guy with something to look forward to in your next talk. It won’t be any fun if you keep texting until you can’t think of anything more to say, or when he stops responding.  For instance, say, “Past my bed time…enjoyed talking with you. Talk to you tomorrow?” For something more playful, say, “Got to go to girls’ night out. Drunk-text you later?” This opens the door for him to invite himself along. But don’t just say, “Come over to my place for sex.” If you want your chances of success to be higher at enticing a man into your home for intercourse, you need to put that phrase in sexier terms. For instance, say something like, “We’ll watch Netflix on the couch, eat ice cream, and cuddle.” This may not describe intercourse, but it implies that cuddling on the couch will lead somewhere more intimate. Send the booty call text, “Are you up?” If he is awake, get down to business about what it is you want from him.  When he responds that he’s awake, ask, “Want to come over and hook up?”  You could also recall back to a previous hookup and say, “Remember when we did X? Let’s do it again tonight.” Frame your questions in a way that refers to going out somewhere, but also gives him a chance to invite himself along. You can use the interests you have in common as a framework for the question.  For example, if you both like Mexican food, say, “That new Mexican place has great guacamole. I think you’ll like it as much as I do.” If you share a love of doughnuts, text him, “Tried that new doughnut shop tonight. You need to check it out!” If you’re not the type to beat around the bush and...

Article in English: If you want to have real results that last, it's important to form a routine. You'll need to moisturize and care for your skin regularly and for a long time before you can see real results. Be consistent, persistent, and above all: patient. You will see results but you need to be sure to moisturize every day for a really long time. When the air gets cold, it precipitates moisture out of the air. The air then sucks whatever moisture it can get out of your skin, causing dryness. This is why you are probably most affected in the winter. Protect your skin from the temperatures by covering up in warm clothing and by covering your skin in cremes to lock in the moisture you have. For example, wear gloves to protect your hands and socks to protect your feet. Scarves and cowls can be worn across the face to protect your skin there. The sun also causes problems with dry skin, by irritating your skin and causing damage. You also risk skin cancer by getting too much sun exposure. Be sure to wear protective clothing as much as you can when you go out on a sunny day and for what skin is not covered by clothing, use sunscreen. SPF 1000 sunscreen is just not needed. The regular sunscreen, 15 or 30, should be plenty. You will want to be sure, though, to get a broad spectrum sunscreen (UVA/UVB). Some soaps, especially those with high levels of synthetic surfactants are really harsh on your skin and can cause damage and dryness. You'll want to find a mild soap, that suits your skin, in order to prevent dryness. Hard water, or water which contains a large concentration of calcium, is common throughout the world. This excess calcium ( which not technically harmful) can irritate and dry out your skin, however, by leaving some calcium behind on your skin. You should have your home tested for hard water to see if this is causing your skin problems. If you do have hard water, it's possible to treat the water so that it comes out of the pipes calcium-free. Your local hardware store should be able to help with this. Just like dry...

Article in English: If you want to ignore someone by changing your routine, the easiest thing to do is to change your walking route so you no longer bump into that person. If you always bump into that person between classes, take the long way to get to your next class so you don't have to see that person. If you always run into that person at work, start using a different hallway or bathroom to minimize contact.  If you always see that person when you're walking no matter where you go, start driving places. If that person seems to have changed their walking routine to fit to yours, keep changing yours until they give up. This one is a no-brainer. If you know that person's favorite bars, restaurants, and parks, just don't go there anymore. It won't be worth it, unless you want to spend the whole time there actively ignoring that person.  You can also learn the days when that person goes out. If he only goes to their favorite restaurant on weekends, and you really want to go there, you can just go during the week. If that person only goes to a certain bar during happy hour, just hang out there later at night. If that person is a meat lover, start checking out the vegetarian restaurants in your hood. If that person hates jazz, check out the latest jazz concert in your area. If they're mortal enemies with one of your friends, then that friend's parties are a great place to escape that person. By actively going to places where that person will never go, you're not only ignoring them, but seeking out newer, cooler hangouts that don't involve that person.

Article in English: If you want to initiate contact but do not know how to find your father, you will have to embark on a search. Realize that this search might take a long time and might not result in an actual meeting with your father. If you were adopted, research the relevant laws governing your adoption records. You might be able to access an original birth certificate, for example, in order to obtain your father's name. These registries allow parents and adopted children interested in making a connection to post their information. The registries can then facilitate making contact. Be cautious, however, about expanding your search to social media in general. Make sure to maintain privacy settings on your accounts so that you can pace the amount of information you disclose if you find your father. Finding out where he worked or the names and addresses of his parents, for example, might be the first steps in finding current information about your father. If you choose to hire a professional, make sure that they are properly certified by a relevant oversight body. Volunteer searchers offer a more limited range of services, but may be able to help you collect valuable information.

Article in English: If you want to install a package that ends with the .deb file extension, you can use a built-in tool called dpkg. Start by downloading the desired *.deb file from your preferred source. If you're using a graphical user interface (GUI), you can usually do this by clicking the terminal icon or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T. For example, if you've saved the file to a folder in your local directory called downloads, type cd downloads and press ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return. Replace packageName with the full name of the package ending in .deb. This installs the software package.  For example, to install a package called icewm_0.8.11-2.deb, type sudo dpkg –i icewm_0.8.11-2.deb and press ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return. Type your root password when prompted to complete the command.

Article in English: If you want to make a tutorial, make it simple and easy. If you want to make a funny video, do random things, and use the jump cut effect. If you make tutorials, don't make them look complicated and hard. Use clear, short instructions and promise that the end result is something anyone can manage. Here is where you ensure the jump cuts. Cut all of the things that you don’t want. Make sure that it looks professional and is easy on the eye and ear. Less is often more. Keep that in mind. Here are some things that may help:  The title has to be catchy. Include popular words if possible. A catchy introduction fanfare that you put onto the beginning of every video will make your videos seem more professional and interesting. It also adds to building your brand if you use something that identifies your videos each time. Introduce yourself and to say your name clearly so viewers will understand you. If they like your video and know who it's by (you), they will watch more. Talk with ease, laugh a little at your mistakes. Depending on how interesting they are, you could even make bloopers at the end. Sure people will laugh at you, but you will most likely get a thumbs up. If you're just starting, Windows Movie Maker or iMovie are just fine. You can use more advanced stuff such as VSDC free video editor when your channel becomes more popular. When someone searches a video, there is a tab under the title saying "NEW". Once a week passes, the tab will vanish. Most people want a YouTuber who is current on YouTube. Keep your videos short. Most people don't have time for a 46 minute video. Even if they do, they will probably stop it in the middle of your video.

Article in English: If you want to offer a sincere apology, you'll need to own up to your mistake. Whether you said or did something hurtful, made someone feel bad, or let someone down, you need to address the fact that what you did was wrong and it hurt someone's feelings.  If you cannot understand why someone's feelings were hurt, try putting yourself in his shoes. Think about how your words or actions might have affected that person, and also consider how his life experiences may have made that person more sensitive to the issue at hand. Even if you still cannot understand why the other person's feelings were hurt, try to accept the fact that it happened, and that your words or actions caused it. Accept responsibility for your mistake. Don't try to blame it on someone else. A sincere apology requires an honest admission of guilt. Start by saying something like, "I recognize that I hurt your feelings with my behavior." It may go without saying, but part of any apology requires you to actually say the words, "I'm sorry." Let the other person know that you understand that you've hurt him, and that you feel remorse.  Don't give a false apology, like saying "Sorry you took it the wrong way." Be genuine and apologetic for your mistake. Research shows that sincerity can make or break an apology. If you cannot give an honest, sincere apology, take some time to cool down and reflect on how you've hurt someone. Then apologize when you're ready. Say something like, "I'm truly sorry for hurting you. I don't know what I was thinking." Once you've acknowledged your mistake and given a genuine apology, offer to make it up to the other person somehow. If there is any way you can correct or repair the mistake, do so. If not, you may want to make an offer to make it up to them somehow.  If you joined in on making fun of someone, you can atone for your actions by telling others to stop when you see them making fun of that person in the future. If you let someone down by your actions or inactions, correct the mistake. For example, if you...

Article in English: If you want to plan your furniture arrangement and not need to constantly move heavy furniture until you find something you like, take measurements of everything first so that you can plan your space theoretically. You can draw the room onto graph paper based on the measurements you took (1' to every 3 squares, for example). Draw it with no furniture first. Then, draw your furniture on a separate piece of paper, to scale, and cut out the pieces. Now you can make practice arrangements, however you like. No longer is planning software limited to interior designers: there are lots of software options for planning out your room. From Chrome extensions like 5d, to games like The Sims (2 and 3 work great for this), there are tons of options to let you experiment with arrangements, color schemes, style, and sizing.

Article in English: If you want to reorganize your life, you need to cut out relationships that are putting a strain on you. You should not be putting time and energy into people who cause drama. People who drain your time and energy, treat you poorly, or who are emotionally manipulative should be cut out of your life.  Establish boundaries with these people and stick to them. You may, for example, be okay hanging out with your co-worker Melinda in the presence of others as not to create unnecessary drama. However, you may not want to see Melinda one-on-one as she tends to be difficult. In some cases, it's okay to tell someone directly you do not want to see them again. If the person is not taking the hint that you do not want a relationship, politely say something like, "I don't think this friendship is working for me anymore. I appreciate the time we've had together, but I think we should both move on." Another way to reorganize your life is to not leave major decisions lingering. If you've been putting off making a decision about your job, your personal life, your health insurance, or other matters, now is the time to make the decision. You want to move forward without uncertainty.  Think about any lingering decisions in your life. Maybe you're unsure whether you should stay in your current romantic relationship. Try to weigh the pros and cons. Is this someone you could be with longterm? If so, it may be worth your time to stay. If not, consider whether casual dating is for you right now. Do you want to invest time in a relationship you know will eventually end? Start thinking about your career. Does your current job offer advancement? Do you see yourself on this path for the next 5 to 10 years? If you want to leave your job, make a solid decision to leave rather than letting the maybe/maybe not thought linger. This can motivate you to begin sending out applications. You may have a lot of negative and irrational thoughts about yourself and the world. In order to move forward with your life, work on identifying and disengaging...

Article in English: If you want to start acting, start by asking yourself a simple question. Is acting a hobby or a career? It is easier to start when you know where you want to go. (You don't need an entire plan, just an overall idea). Decide what type of acting you'd like to study first – theater, musicals, improv, television, film, etc. – and research teachers and classes in your area. Commit yourself to that class for at least six months, give yourself a chance to warm up to it. If you love it, then continue. After you've completed your first class, it's recommended to take classes in other areas to see if you are interested in another type of acting. Although you should take classes and get real-life experience, you can also learn a great deal about acting by simply curling up on the couch for movie night! Study your favorite films to learn about important acting techniques – such as character development, physicality, diction, and reacting – from your favorite on-screen actors and actresses. Going to plays is another great way to study stage actors and actresses. Absorb everything you see!  If you want to be in film or commercials, these are the acting methods you should study. Pick your favorite commercials or movie scenes and try to reenact them. If you want to get involved with theater or musicals, then study plays and musicals. Observe what the actors do right and what they can improve upon. Apply what you learn while watching them to your own acting. Acting is more of a community sport than a solo hobby, so get comfortable working with others. Many actors love running lines, talking about their creative process, and sharing stories. Make a few actor friends and learn from them. They may even be able to give you a few pointers or point you to some auditions. Being an actor in a major city like LA or New York City is hard enough for performers with decades of training and experience. If you're an actor with no experience, it's best to start off in your hometown. Nearly every town has a local theater company, and local...

Article in English: If you want to stop caring about what others think of you, then you have to work on building your confidence as much as you can. Though it can take years to truly love yourself and be happy with the person who you are, taking steps to get there will help you feel more secure in who you are and less likely to care about the haters who are getting you down. Here are some ways to work on building your confidence:  Write down all of the things you love about yourself. Take the time to acknowledge what an amazing person you are. Work on accepting the flaws you can’t change. You’ll never be truly confident if you’re not able to accept some of the things you can’t change about yourself, whether it’s your voice or your height. Spend more time doing things you’re good at. You’ll be much more confident if you spend more time doing the things that make you feel like you’re skilled and talented. Spend time volunteering. Seeing that you have something to offer to the world will make you feel like you’re a worthy person. Take care of yourself. Making an effort to exercise, eat well, shower regularly, and wear well-fitting clothes can make you feel better about who you are. Fake it until you make it. Having good posture, smiling, avoiding slouching or fidgeting too much, and keeping your body “open” when you talk to others can all make you project more confidence than you may feel. Another way to spend less time caring about what others think is simply to turn your mind to other things. If you spend all of your time worrying about some comment someone made, wondering what people thought of your new outfit, or not trusting the compliment someone gave you, then you’re never going to feel good about yourself. Instead of analyzing what people think of you, focus on thinking about the positive reinforcement people give you and don’t waste your energy worrying about whether something was less-than-positive.  You are your own worst enemy when it comes to caring about what other people think or say about you. You have the power to...

Article in English: If you want to submit some work that you've already written, or find an online venue for a writing project that you're thinking of undertaking, there are several resources in place for writers to check for submissions calls. When publications are seeking content of a particular style or content, they'll open submissions to unsolicited writers and consider work, sometimes for free, sometimes for a small fee. This can be an excellent way to get your good writing considered by professional publications.  Writer's Chronicle, the Association of Writing Programs (AWP), and the Poets & Writers database all collect lists of writing contests, open submissions, and general submission guidelines for a variety of websites and other publications. If you're not familiar with the sorts of publications that might be interested in your style of writing, explore there to learn more. Submitting work to selective journals is much easier if you become familiar with individual publications and the types of work they tend to publish. Spend time researching the writers, the editors, and reading the entries on the publications before you submit your work. If a journal only publishes serious and highly academic writing about culture, they're probably not going to be interested in a short story about werewolves.   Consider culture publications like Slate, The Awl, Jezebel, Flavorwire, the Culture-ist, all of which accept submissions on a rolling basis, and produce a diversity of interesting and engaging content. Non-fiction and cultural criticism would be excellent for these publications. Check out literary journals like Narrative, PANK, Octopus, H_NGM_N, and Sixth Finch if you want to publish creative work. These are all highly-respected online journals that publish work by respected authors. If you've got non-fiction, short stories, or poetry that you'd like to see online, research journals that publish content you'd like to read and send them your best stuff. Online publishers will accept submissions in any number of different ways,...

Article in English: If you want to take your dog for a long walk in the summer, do it when the ground will be at its coolest. Early in the morning or long after sunset are usually good times to take dogs for walks. In addition to protecting your dog's paws, walking it during cooler temperatures will protect it from getting heat exhaustion and dehydration. When summer temperatures are high, it's important to protect your dog's paws from hot surfaces. One good way to do this is to go outside and touch the concrete before leading your dog onto it. If you can comfortably touch the concrete, then your dog's paws will be fine on it. Sand can also become so hot that it burns your dog's paws. Be cautious and test the temperature of sand before you lead your dog onto it. If you do take your dog outside during hot weather, make sure it is walking on grass or other cooler surfaces. Keeping your dog on vegetation will help it avoid burned pads. Consider taking your dog for a walk on a bark or dirt path instead of a concrete path. If your dog will put up with having something on its paws, you can use booties in the summer. Put them on your dog before taking it out in areas where it will walk on hot concrete or other hot surfaces. Booties are also a good choice if you're taking your dog for a long hike. They'll protect its paws from cuts and scrapes. If your dog's pads do get burned by a hot surface, it's important to treat them so they can heal properly and quickly. If they have a slight burn, soak the pad in cool water, dry it off, apply a veterinary antibiotic, and then bandage them up. If the pads are severely burned, they should be treated by a veterinarian.  Signs that your dog's pads have minor burns include the dog slightly limping, being hesitant to walk, and licking the pads after a walk in the heat. However, with a minor burn the pads themselves will look normal.  Severe burns can be identified by looking at the pads. They will have areas that are discolored or blistered.

Article in English: If you want to talk about something potentially uncomfortable, it's important to find the right time and place. Talking when your mother is busy or stressed will only make an uncomfortable situation more stressful.  Choose a time with no external time constraints. If you're telling your mother something private or embarrassing, you want to make sure the two of you can talk out the issue for as long as necessary. You should also pick a time when you and your mom are generally not stressed. You don't want to talk to her about something embarrassing or awkward when you're already in a bad mood. If you both tend to have down time Saturday, this may be a good time to talk as you'll both be relaxed. If you're talking something private over with a parent, there is likely to be some embarrassment. This is normal. It will be easier to go into the situation if you expect you're going to be embarrassed.  Do not try to talk yourself out of feeling embarrassed or awkward. This is only likely to make you focus on these feelings more. Instead, accept that you'll feel embarrassed but remind yourself why you want to talk things out. For example, you may want to talk to your mom about something like being pregnant or having a family. While raising the topic is difficult, your mom can give you valuable advice on the topic as she's older and more experienced. You should not go into the conversation without some idea of what you want. If you're telling your mother something private, you're doing so for a reason. Think about why you want to talk this over with your mom. Knowing what you want can also help you better direct the conversation.  You may just want your mom to listen. If you're going through an embarrassing personal problem, you may just want to vent to someone. If this is the case, you can let your mom know you don't want advice or guidance. However, you may want advice about something. Think about whether or not your mom's input would be helpful. If you want advice, you can ask for it directly. For example, "Mom, I...

Article in English: If you want to talk about the stopping or cessation of activity, you can say "paro." You may recognize this as the first-person present conjugation of the verb parar.   Paro is most often used to talk about a workers' strike or labor stoppage. For example: "Los trabajadores de la refinería hicieron un paro." (The workers at the refinery went on strike.) In Spain, paro is also used to mean unemployment. For example: "El paro subió en Valencia el pasado mes de marzo." ("Unemployment rose in Valencia last March.") " to tell someone to "Stop it!" This interjection is more literally translated as "That's enough!" but it's frequently used to tell someone to knock it off and stop doing whatever they're doing. "Para ya!" is another interjection you can use to tell someone to stop doing something. " The verb dejar is more accurately translated as "to leave," but when used with "de" as a verb phrase, it means to stop, quit, or give something up.  The verb dejar is a regular -ar verb, so it is conjugated the same way parar is. For example: "Dejé de fumar hace un año." ("I quit smoking a year ago.") " as in interjection meaning "Stop!" The word alto can mean something more like "halt," giving it a little more urgency than some of the other Spanish words that mean "stop." The word appears on stop signs in Mexico.  Alto is more frequently used in a law enforcement or military context. The word descanso is literally translated as "rest," but can also be used in contexts where you would more likely say "stop" in English.  For example: "Yo no descanso durante el dia." ("I don't stop during the day" or "I don't rest during the day.") You can also say "sin descanso," which literally means "without rest" but can be translated as "non-stop." While descanso is typically only used for a short break, you can use the word estancia for a longer visit. This might be translated as "stop" in English. For example: "Le deseamos una agradable estancia." ("We wish him (or her) a very enjoyable stop" or "We wish him (or her) a very enjoyable stay.")

Summary in Portuguese:

Use "paro" para se referir a uma paragem ou paralisação. Grite "¡Basta ya! Diga para alguém parar com a frase “dejar de”. Use "¡Alto! Diga "descanso" se estiver falando sobre uma pausa ou um intervalo. Use a palavra “estancia” se estiver falando sobre uma parada mais longa ou durante a noite.

Article in English: If you want to work on repairing a relationship, work on tweaking your listening skills. When someone tries to communicate with you, do your best to show you are listening.  Actively listening means giving verbal and non verbal cues you are paying attention to what's said. Nod on occasion and say things "Yes" and "Uh-huh." Smile and laugh at appropriate times.  When it's your turn to speak, take a few moments to reiterate what the other person said. Briefly summarize the points they made, something like "I understand you feel like..." or "I'm hearing you're feeling very..." If a friend or romantic partner feels hurt by something you did, apologize to that person. Teens are often preoccupied with what others think, making them reluctant to apologize. However, whether you feel you were in the wrong or not you should sincerely apologize if you hurt someone's feelings. An apology can go a long way towards repairing a damaged relationship. Withholding judgment is important to repairing damaged relationships. Try to put whatever circumstances lead to you and this person's disagreement aside. Proceed without judgment, despite any past negativity. Make a conscious effort to see things from the other person's perspective. Even if your feelings were hurt, what do you think drove this person to behave how he or she did? Ask yourself whether this relationship is truly worth repairing. Teenagers often make poor decisions relationship wise due to insecurity. Make sure you know the qualities a good friend should have.  Think about past friendships that were positive as well as your relationships with family members. What did you like about these relationships? Did you feel supported, secure, safe? Did you feel this way in regards to the damaged relationship? Why or why not?  Look for friends that bring out the best qualities in you. If you don't like how you behave in the presence of a particular person, that friendship might not be worth your time.  Repair relationships only with those who treat you with respect. Some...

Article in English: If you want to, you can mark your bird's grave with some kind of marker or memento. This can be as simple or as elaborate as you choose.  You can mark the spot with a simple stone so everyone knows where it is. If you want a more elaborate marker, you could create a personalized headstone. Consider making one out of wood and using paint or a marker to include a personalized message. You could also consider purchasing a kit that is typically used to make a concrete stepping stone. This will allow you to decorate your stone and write your pet's name if you wish. You could also place a statue of a bird on the grave as a memorial. If you don't want to use a grave marker, but you would like to mark the grave and pay respects to the bird, consider planting a beautiful plant on the grave.  Be sure to choose a plant that tolerates the amount of sun in the area. Plant a perennial if you want the plant to keep coming back year after year. Don't forget to take good care of the plant so it flourishes. If you are saying goodbye to a pet, it may help you feel more at peace if you hold a small funeral. The style of the ceremony is completely up to you.  You may want to let each member of the family say something about the bird. If you would like, you can say a little prayer or sing a song for the bird. You can also observe a few moments of silence to honor your feathered friend.

Article in English: If you want your husband to treat you a certain way, let him know. He may not know your desires and therefore, may be unable to meet your wants or needs.  Don’t expect your husband to “know” your wants or act as if he is a mind reader. Instead, do him (and you) a favor and clue him in.  Don’t be shy in expressing your desires. If there’s a gesture or action you appreciate, let him know. If you like when your husband does something (like wash the dishes or open the door for you), make sure you let him know how much you appreciate the gesture. By letting him know you appreciate the gesture, he can begin to do these things continually out of love for you.  Say, “thank you” often, or express specific gratitude by saying, “I really appreciate when you pull my chair out for me.” Taking the lead is an excellent way for you to show your husband what you want and appreciate from him. Show your husband some romantic gestures like leaving a gift for him in the morning, planning a romantic evening together, or treating him to a massage. Show your husband your love and care for him by extending the romance to him.  When taking the lead, express your desire for your husband to reciprocate the romance back.  Take the lead in small gestures and also in sex. Do things that your husband finds romantic. Taking the lead does not necessarily mean that your gestures will be returned. Your husband’s idea of romance may differ from your own. Intimacy doesn’t just include sex, it also includes being emotionally intimate. Encourage your husband to share his hopes, dreams, disappointments, fears, and accomplishments with you. Allow your husband to feel open and vulnerable around you by listening to him and supporting him. Emotional intimacy can enhance physical intimacy and feelings of closeness with your husband.  Be intimate with your husband, too. Allow each other to be intimate together and create a strong sense of connectivity between the two of you.

Summary in Portuguese:

Expresse o que deseja. Reforce suas preferências. Assuma o comando. Estimule a intimidade.


Article in English: If you want your partner to be okay with your foot fetish, then the worst thing you can do is blurt it out right away. If you're just in the middle of your first date, or even kissing for the first time, saying, "I have a foot fetish!" is likely to turn your night in the wrong direction. If you want to tell your partner about your foot fetish and get the best results, then you have to wait for the perfect time -- when you know each other a little better.  Ideally, you should wait until you have a sexual experience before you discuss your foot fetish. Otherwise, it may be too much, too soon. On the other hand, you don't want to wait too long -- if you walk down the aisle before admitting your lifelong obsession with feet, then you may run in to some serious trouble. Once you've gotten more comfortable with your partner, it's time to test the waters. If you've found yourself in bed are in various degrees of undress, you can try kissing your partner's stomach, legs, and then move your way down to the feet. Don't go straight for the feet or you may freak your partner out. You can also just start touching your partner's feet if you're watching TV and you want to give him or her a sexy foot massage. Don't start licking or sucking on your partner's feet yet -- this may be too much too soon as well. How does your other half react when you go for the feet? Do hear murmurs of approval, the occasional, "Oh, that feels good," and see a nice relaxed smile on his or her face? If so, then things are moving in the right direction. If your partner pulls away, or even outright says they don't like it when you touch their feet, then it's time to abort the mission. If your partner reacts negatively, don't be discouraged. You may still be able to turn things around. However, this does mean that you shouldn't go for the feet again until you have the big talk. Don't go overboard -- just say, "You have such sexy feet," or "I just love your feet." Don't make it sound like a fetish yet -- just tell your partner that he or she...

Article in English: If you want zucchini noodles that more closely resemble actual pasta, peel the zucchini before turning it into noodles. For something a little more colorful, though, keep the peel on.  Keep the zucchini peel on also has health benefits. Primarily, the peel offers extra fiber, and dietary fiber can help regulate your digestive system. Slice off one end of the zucchini so that you have a flat surface to place on your counter. Use a vegetable peeler to peel off the dark green skin, revealing the light green flesh beneath it. You can make long, thin ribbon noodles using a vegetable peeler or mandolin.  Pass the peeler or mandolin over the side of the zucchini lengthwise to produce long, flat noodles. When you approach the seeds, turn the zucchini and begin slicing another side. The seeds will prevent the noodles from holding together, so you do not want to use the part with seeds in it.  If using a mandolin, make sure that you use one of the smallest blade settings in order to produce small, thin noodles. For flexible yet thicker slices suitable for use as lasagna noodles, use a mandolin or sharp kitchen knife.  Cut slices of the zucchini off the vegetable lengthwise using a knife. The noodles should hold their form but still be fairly thin. When you approach the seeds, turn the zucchini and begin slicing another side. The seeds will prevent the noodles from holding together, so you do not want to use the part with seeds in it. If using a mandolin, use the thickest blade setting possible. Pass the zucchini over the blade lengthwise to produce long slices. Spaghetti style zucchini noodles can be made using a vegetable peeler, julienne peeler, or mandolin.  Pass the peeler or julienne peeler down one lengthwise side of the zucchini. Only catch a thin portion of the zucchini, no thicker than 1/2 inch (1.25 cm), for each pass in order to create thin spaghetti-like noodles. If using a julienne peeler, this thickness should already be preset, so no additional work will need to be done on your part. If using a mandolin,...

Article in English: If you wear contact lenses, be sure to carefully remove and store them before you apply any prescription or over-the-counter eye serum. You can re-insert your contact lenses 15 minutes after you have applied the serum. Use a gentle cleanser and warm water to wash your face before applying any products onto your lashes. Make sure your face and eyes are clean and free of dirt, oil, and make-up. A clean surface will allow the serum to better adhere to your lash line. If you are using a prescription eyelash serum, your doctor or pharmacist will provide you with a container of solution and a set of disposable applicators. The serum should be applied to the upper eyelash line every evening with the sterile, one-time-use applicator. Remove the one-time use applicator, and add one drop of the solution onto the applicator’s brush. Since a prescription eye serum is an ophthalmic solution, it will not cause harm to your eye. You do not need to rinse your eye if the serum comes into contact with it. Close your eye and spread a thin coating of the serum across the roots of your upper lash line, working from the corner of your eye outward. Do not apply the medication to the lower eyelid. The medication will spread to your lower lash as you blink. Some over-the-counter products can be applied directly onto your eyelashes using a mascara wand. Work the product through your upper and lower eyelashes. Begin at the base of your lash line, and wiggle the wand in an upward motion to completely coat each eyelash. Since the serum promotes hair growth, be careful not to apply it anywhere other than your eyelashes or lash line. Otherwise, you may experience unwanted hair growth elsewhere. Blot the corner of your eye with a tissue after application to prevent any excess serum from spreading to other areas of your skin. Use a gentle cleanser, unscented soap, baby soap, or a dish detergent and lukewarm water to clean the applicators for the over-the-counter products. Gently wash them with the soap of your choice, rinse them thoroughly,...

Article in English: If you wear fabric with no stretch, you run the risk of squishing your assets. This is exactly what you do not want to do. Find clothing that doesn't flatten your curves, but rather lifts and accentuates them. Look for jeans that contain Spandex or Lycra. This stretch denim looks no different than regular denim, but will hug your body tighter while being flexible.  Tight, stretchy clothing will draw eyes to your butt, and you don't want a glaring panty line distracting from your curves. Make sure you wear the proper underwear for whatever outfit you are wearing. Tumble dry stretchy clothing. The heat will help the fabric retain the stretch it may have lost during wear. If you're wearing shorts, a skirt, or a dress, raise the hemline. When you show more leg, eyes will automatically be drawn to your butt. When you're looking to accentuate your curves, this is perfect. If you don't choose to show leg, strategically showing a bit of skin above the waist will achieve the same goal. Look cropped shirts or pieces with sexy cut-outs near the waistline. Show the areas that you feel confident showing. If you love your back, don a backless top. If you love your muscular legs, a mini skirt is perfect. Any bare skin near your booty will help you accentuate it, so choose clothing that makes you feel sexy. Wearing high heel actually raises the booty by around twenty to thirty degrees. This change in angle makes your figure appear more youthful and curvier. Heels also lengthen your legs, and this will draw eyes to your legs and butt. Wearing heels may take some practice. To walk naturally, focus on putting your heel down first, then your toe. Even if you think you're lacking in the booty department, don't be tempted to hide it in loose clothing. Clothes that hug the curves you do have are your best bet for dressing for a curvaceous look. Wear clothes with confidence and embrace the body you've got! Pay attention to your body language. Stand tall, and walk in to every room like you own it. Flaunt whatever curves you have, and...

Article in English: If you were blocked in error, then the person probably won't be unhappy to hear from you. But it could be considered harassment for you to attempt to work around a block that somebody enacted to put distance between you and them. Be wary of the legality of disregarding a block in your region before proceeding. You can do this by typing "*67" before the phone number you're trying to call; this will result in your call showing up as an unidentified number. Most people won't pick up if they see a "Restricted" or "Unknown" number calling them; this is because telemarketers often use this tactic to reach numbers on the do-not-call list. If, for example, you and your contact both use Facebook, you can use Messenger to try to reach out to them. The same concept applies to WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, or any other IMing services you share. Though your contact won't receive a notification of your call or your voicemail, it will still end up on their phone. You can use this loophole to communicate important information to them if need be. If you absolutely have to get into contact with someone who has blocked you, you can email them or message them from various social media accounts. Again, consider your urgency here: if you're simply upset because they blocked you, it's best to leave the situation alone until both you and your contact have cooled off a bit.

Article in English: If you were holding her hand or already had your arm around her, leave it there as you turn to face her. If you weren’t holding her, quickly check to see where her hands are. if she’s got them in front of her, reach out to hold her hands. If they’re at her side, wrap your arms around her waist so that you’re hugging her.  If you’re not comfortable holding her hand or wrapping your arms around her, consider putting your hands on her shoulders. This is a good middle ground between a full embrace and standing still. Unless it’s a playful, quick smooch, don’t put your arms down to your sides. It will make you seem like you’re not emotionally invested in the kiss. ” There’s nothing cute about pushing your lips out and pursing them together. Keep your lips flexible as you’re initiating a kiss by keeping your facial muscles relaxed. Nobody wants to kiss stiff, hard lips. Keep your mouth closed. You kiss with lips, not teeth! As you lean in for the kiss, pay attention to how the girl is angling her head. Tilt your head in the opposite direction to prevent squishing into her nose as you kiss her. Keep your head slanted so that your nose will brush right against her cheek.  Avoid jerking movements and try to be smooth as you do this. It should be a subtle, simple motion. Lean in with your whole body. Don’t stick your head out like you’re scared of her! Don’t turn your head so far that your lips are going to make a cross.

Article in English: If you were sitting at the front of a big group of ornery, restless, loud students for eight hours a day, every day of the week, how would you feel? You'd probably want your students to quiet down and do their work, too. Try to imagine how your teacher must feel on a daily basis to give you some clues on how to act, if you want your teacher to like you. Try to take it easy on your teacher. Don't make your teacher have to work harder than they already have to. Every time you have an excuse or a favor or a request you have to make for your teacher, that's more work for them. Give them less to do. There's no one way to please all your teachers, since all your teachers will be completely different people. Some will be kind, easy-going, and warm, while others will seem like stern, old-school taskmasters. Try to get a read on who your teacher is, what they like, and what makes them tick, to learn more.   If your teacher is stern, sucking up won't do you much good. Focus on your work, putting your head down, and doing what's expected, not in being a big presence in class. If your teacher is kind of warm, they'll likely more appreciate the talkers in class. If you want the teacher to like you, open up and talk a bit more and have a short conversation with the teacher if necessary, as well as doing your work as well as you can. Contrary to what you might think, teachers don't like brown-noses, suck-ups, or annoying tattle-tales. The person in your class you think is the "teacher's pet" according to the students is probably not most teacher's favorite student. Keep that in mind. It's not necessary to be the most talkative, or to ask more questions than everyone else. Just make sure that you contribute sometimes and that you keep the classroom positive. If you want to go the extra mile, it's helpful to have a creative spin to put on your work to help yourself stand out from the rest of the students and interesting, creative, and likable. Think of creative projects when you get projects, or do your in-class work in...
