Article in English: When you know someone on a more personal level, you can often develop a better working relationship. Try to show an interest in your boss’s life outside of work. For example, if they have to leave early for a child’s event, you could say, “What position is Clara playing on the team this year?” Maintain boundaries by avoiding personal questions. For example, you don't need to say, "Are you and your husband planning to have more children?" But showing a basic interest is a great way to get your boss to warm up to you. You are part of your boss’s team, which means you should be working towards the same goals. If your boss’s number one priority is developing better customer service, make that your priority, too. Say things like, “It’s great that you have such a clear focus. How can I help achieve these goals?” Don’t say, “Don’t you think it would be better to focus on HR issues?” Let your boss know that you are on their side. Avoid gossiping about your boss with other team members. You never know who might repeat your words. You can also defend your boss’s plans if anyone else in the company tries to go over your boss’s head. Similarly, don't repeat gossip about others to your boss. That might make them think you aren't loyal to others.

Стремитесь лучше узнать начальника. Сделайте приоритеты начальника своими приоритетами. Демонстрируйте преданность.


Article in English: When you like a girl, being around them will make you feel happy and elated. Think about how you feel when you’re around them and pay attention to your emotions. If you don’t feel any happiness or excitement when you see them, you may not like them. When you like someone there will be more activity in the dopamine-rich areas of your brain that control feelings of pleasure and happiness. If you find yourself daydreaming about the girl and constantly wondering what they’re doing, it’s a strong sign that you like them. Pay attention to what you’re thinking about throughout the day and count the number of times that you think of them. If you think about the girl more than 3-4 times per day, there’s a good chance you like her. When you like a girl, you’ll treat her nicer than other people around you. You may feel compelled to pay for her meals or do favors for her. If you catch yourself paying close attention to how she feels and go out of your way to make her day more pleasant, it’s a sign that you like her.  For instance, you might let them cut you in the lunch line or always offer help with their classwork. You may also go out of your way to be more polite to them than others. If you like a girl, you’ll want important people in your life to also like them. If you’re always asking your friends or family members about their opinion of the girl and want them to accept her, there’s a good chance that you like her.  If your friends or family don't like her, it should bother you if you like her. If you could care less how others feel about the girl, there’s a good chance you don’t like them. If you like the girl, you'll feel happy and proud whenever the girl success in something. Their success and victories will also make you feel good, even if you're not participating in what they are doing. If you don’t feel anything or find yourself feeling envious, it’s a sign that you don’t like them. For instance, you might find yourself rooting them on during competitions or feel good when they do well on tests and quizzes.

Article in English: When you like someone, it's easy to overthink what you are going to say to him. If you type out a long message and ask him out in the middle of it, he may miss your question. Keep the message short and to the point. Send a text that only includes you asking him out.  Don't ramble by saying, “I've been thinking about what I could do this weekend because I'm getting bored being home all the time. Would you want to go out? I know there isn't that much to do but I thought that we could have fun together. Anyway, I'm not even sure….” You might want to ask out a guy from school. A teenage guy is more likely to respond to a simple text than to one where you ramble a lot. Text him something like, “Would you want to go out this weekend?” If you want to ask out a coworker, say, “We never get much time to talk one-on-one at work. Would you want to grab a drink when we clock out tomorrow?” You may be tempted to beat around the bush, or mention going out in a vague way that he could miss. When you text him, say that you want to go out with him and ask him if he would be interested in doing that. It's important that he knows you are asking him out.  For example, don't say, “I haven't dated much recently and you seem like you haven't either. Maybe we would be able to do something together. That might be pretty cool.” Say, “Are you interested in going out with me?” This is especially important when you are asking a guy out who you are already friends with. It's important to make sure they know you want to go out romantically. Say, “I know we hang out a lot, but would you want to go to Orion's party with me as my date?” When you ask someone out, it's not all that effective to say, “Do you want to go out sometime?” There is no specific timeline or activity involved. Think of something cool you could do together and ask him to do that. Also offer a couple of times that would work well for you.  For example, tell him about a party you are going to over the weekend and ask if he wants to go with you. Ask him if he wants to try...

Article in English: When you log in to your Skype account, contacts that are currently online and available will have a green checkmark next to their username in the contacts list. Windows versions of Skype typically default to showing all your contacts upon login. Find the list along the left side of the Skype window, in a sidebar, with your online contacts automatically at the top of this list. On Skype for Mac, your view upon login depends on the screen you were showing when you last logged out. To view your contacts, click "Contacts" along the left sidebar. Online contacts who are available to chat will have both a green checkmark and a status which reads "Online" next to their name. Skype also lets you adjust your view of your contacts list. You can view all your contacts at once ("All") or only those who are currently online ("Online"). If you've linked other accounts or address books (e.g. Facebook) these will also appear as viewing options. On Skype for Windows access these options by looking for a small dropdown menu (by default set to "All") under your Contacts menu but above the actual list of names.  On Mac versions, adjusting the list is accomplished by choosing one of the same options along the top of the main window. Contacts in Skype may also be logged in but inactive. This is indicated by a yellow clock icon. They will be included in online lists and are reachable, however the icon indicates that they have been inactive on Skype for an extended period of time. Skype offers a simple way to search for by linking with your Facebook account. On the home screen of the application just click "find Facebook friends" and then sign into your account. This connects your two accounts and will make suggestions for Facebook friends who also have Skype accounts.  On some Windows versions, this option is accessible via the contacts dropdown by clicking "Facebook" After recommendations are made, you still must make a request and have it accepted before they are added to your contact list and before you can see if they are...

Article in English: When you look at piano sheet music, you will see that there are two staffs which are attached at the beginning of each line and at the measures. These two lines indicate which hand plays which notes. The upper staff indicates the notes played with the right hand and the lower staff indicates which notes are played with the left. Each key, both white and black, represents a particular pitch and like the repeated pattern of the keys, the pitches also repeat. Look at your piano and you will see two black keys close together and then three black keys close together. Starting with the first of the two keys and moving to the very next key (including white notes) the pitches are: C#/Db, D, D#/Eb, E, F, F#/Gb, G, G#/Ab, A, A#/Bb, B, and C. The bolded text indicates a black key. Labeling the keys while you learn may be helpful. You may see pedals at your feet if using a proper piano, rather than a keyboard. The left pedal is called the “soft” pedal, the middle pedal is called the “sostenuto” pedal, and the right pedal is called the “sustain” or “damper” pedal. When to use the most common pedal, the sustain pedal, is indicated on the sheet music: The sustain pedal should be pressed when the word “Ped.” is written below a note and released when you see a star. Alternatively, you may see horizontal, vertical, or angled lines together. A horizontal line means to press the pedal, an angle means a brief release, and a vertical line means to release the pedal. Reading music is just like reading a language. Think of the staff as the sentence and the notes as the letters. Put your knowledge of the staff together with your knowledge of the notes and begin to play the music that you see on the page. You won’t be very good at first but you will get better and better as you get more experience. When first learning to play piano, play slowly. Over time you hands will get used to the movements and it will be easier to play without looking at your hands constantly. Play songs very slowly until you are comfortable and ready to speed...

Article in English: When you make people feel stupid, that makes them shut down and tends to quickly lead an argument nowhere. Make them feel smart and you'll have an easier time turning the argument in your favor. Evidence from reliable sources that specifically supports and deals with what you're arguing about can be one of the easiest ways to win an argument. You should also tailor the type of evidence you use to what kind of person they are, using more logical or more emotional evidence based on what you think they'll respond to best. Pointing out fallacies in their logic and politely explaining why that logic is bad is a good way to start to change someone's mind. Learning to recognize logical fallacies can be challenging but here are a few common ones:  Watch out for arguments with incorrectly assume that correlation means causation. For example, rates of autism diagnosis increased with the usage of cell phones. Therefore, autism is caused by cellphone usage. Post-hoc fallacies are similar, but are based on the idea that because A preceded B, B was caused by A. An Argument from Silence fallacy is the idea that because there is no evidence for something, it must not exist. For example, God/germs/evolution/aliens do not exist because we have never physically witnessed them. Non-Sequiturs are when the conclusion of an argument is unrelated to its premise. For example, the argument that we can't pay teachers more because policemen and firefighters do not make that much money. People like to think of themselves as the main character in their life story. Keep them thinking this and charm them into changing their views by carefully tailoring how you talk about the issues. For example, "I know you really, really want to help people. You're one of the most generous people that I know. But if you really wanted to help people, you wouldn't donate to a charity that misuses their money like that. Don't you want to be sure that your money is directly saving lives?" When you argue, avoid language like "you" and "me". Instead, use words...

Article in English: When you meet with your veterinarian you will need to provide accurate information about your dog's injuries. By giving your veterinarian this information, they will be able to start treating your dog more quickly and efficiently.  Tell your veterinarian exactly how and when your dog fell. Inform your veterinarian about any signs of injury that you have noticed. Let your veterinarian know about any first aid you have administered. Tell your veterinarian about any past injuries or surgeries that your dog may have had. Be ready to provide basic information about your dog including age, current medications, or other health issues. Your veterinarian will likely perform some diagnostic tests and will administer certain medical techniques to treat your dog's injuries. Review some of the following possible tests and treatments that your veterinarian may perform.  A basic physical exam will let your veterinarian learn of any surface injuries as well as the overall condition of your dog. Orthopedic examinations will check for any injuries to the bones, joints, muscles, or affected range of movement in your dog. This examination may include an x-ray. Neurological examinations will be ordered if your dog has hit its head during the fall. If your dog is walking oddly or seemingly unaware, this test can help determine if your dog's nervous system was damaged. After your dog has received initial emergency treatment and has been cleared to go home with you, your veterinarian will likely give you home-care instructions. These instructions must be accurately followed to ensure that your dog will have a quick and full recovery.  If your dog is given medications, keep up with the schedule. Make sure your dog is consuming them completely if administered orally. Keep up with changing any bandages that your dog may need. You may need to apply ice or heat packs to your dog's injuries. Make sure your dog rests and keep activities to a minimum while injuries heal.

Article in English: When you mention a movie in text, you typically want to follow that mention with a parenthetical citation. Use the standard APA author-date format, except that for movies the producers and directors are considered the authors.  For example: "(Magness, Siegal-Magness, & Daniels, 2009)." Do not include the words producer or director after the names in parenthetical in-text citations. After the first in-text citation, you need only list the first name followed by the Latin abbreviation "et al" and the year of production. An exception is if there are only 2 producers or directors; in this case, list them each time. Also, if the movie has more than 6 producers and directors, only list the first one followed by "et al" for every citation. For example: "(Magness, et al, 2009)." If you want to direct your reader to a specific scene or part of the movie, follow the year of production with a time stamp or range of time stamps.  For example: "(Magness, Siegal-Magness, & Daniels, 2009, 1:30:00)." Reflect the format shown in the movie itself, putting zeroes in places where necessary. For example, if a movie's time is reflected in hours, minutes, and seconds, and you're citing something that occurred at the 30-minute mark, you would need a zero for the hours: 0:30:00. You'll have to pause the movie to identify the time when the part you're citing occurs. If you watched the film in a theater, you won't be able to do this, so take notes as best you can. By writing down the time, you can calculate the time stamp with reference to the time the movie started. You already have a full citation for the movie in your references. If you include enough information in the text that your reader can correctly identify the movie's full citation in your reference list, there's no need for a parenthetical in-text citation.  Since your citations start with the producer's and director's names, this generally means you need a parenthetical citation unless you've mentioned the name in your text. For example, the sentence "Hitchcock's film...

If possible, visit a month or two before you move so that you can look at potential homes for yourself. If you cannot find a permanent place to live before you leave, then you may want to consider staying in a hotel until you can secure a place to live. Although Canada offers free health insurance to residents and citizens, you will need to purchase private health insurance to ensure coverage for up to three months after you first arrive in Canada. The providers will vary depending on your province. If you are a refugee coming to Canada, then you may be protected by the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) and not need to purchase private insurance.

Article in English: When you notice that your child is in pain, contact your pediatrician right away. He or she will be able to diagnose the ear infection and prescribe medication that will help your child to overcome the infection. Your pediatrician will most likely prescribe antibiotics, and possibly some pain medication. Follow the doctor’s orders when giving your child the medication. Trust your instincts when it comes to bringing your child to the doctor. Because children have a hard time expressing what they are feeling, it is up to you to figure out when your child needs a doctor. Trust your instincts; if your baby does not look or act as if she feels well, you should consider taking her to the doctor. Many times, pain relievers will relax your child so that she will fall asleep.  Sometimes the pain relievers will have something in them that may even help your child to become sleepy. If this is the case, your baby may be sleepy for a couple of days as the medication works its way through her system. Ear infections can make it hard to lie down. A baby with an ear infection may be more comfortable being held. She may need to be propped up on a pillow or have a wedge placed under her crib mattress so that she is not lying down in a completely flat position. If your child’s ears have fluid in them from the infection, then lying flat on her back will cause pressure that feels like all the air has just been sucked out of the room. Propping your child up will help the Eustachian tubes in her ears to clear out, and it will relieve some of the pressure. Ear infections may cause pain and/or discomfort when eating or drinking so it may sound strange to recommend giving your child a drink. However, drinking a few sips of water or juice can help to stimulate the muscles in and near the Eustachian tubes in your child’s ears. When these muscles are stimulated, they can clear the fluid out of your child’s ears more efficiently. That means that the tubes in your child’s ears can open and begin to clear; this will help to reduce your...

Tap the ☰ menu and select “Settings.” Make sure the “Face Grouping” switch is in the On position. (You can turn this off at any time) Tap the back arrow to return to Photos. The search menu will expand, containing a row of several small face photos. If you don’t see any faces, this feature is unavailable in your country. Now you’ll see all the faces identified by Google in your photos. Don’t panic if you see two photos of the same person in this list—you’ll be able to group them later. A new screen will appear, with that person’s face at the top and the words “Who is this?” just beneath. ” A text box will appear, with a “New name” box as well as contacts from which to choose. Because labels are just to help you search your photos, nobody will see this name except you. The name will now be applied as that face’s label. If you saw more than one face icon for this person, group them all by assigning them the same label. You’ll see the face icons appear again. You’ll see the “Who’s This?” box at the top left corner of the screen again. The label and an icon of that person’s face will appear in the search results. A pop-up will appear, asking “Are these the same person?” Both faces (of the same person) will appear just beneath these words. ” Now both faces are assigned to the same label, meaning that when you type that label, photos Google associates with both face icons will appear in the search results. You may have to repeat this process several times for the same person.

Article in English: When you open the hood or bonnet of your car, you should see a bundle of 4-8 wires leading to different points on the engine compartment. The spark plugs are located at the engine end of these wires, under the plug covers that attach them.  On a 4-cylinder engine, spark plugs will be located on the top or side of the engine in a row. On an inline 6-cylinder, they are located on the top or side of the engine head. On V6 and V8-cylinder engines, plugs should be separated evenly on each side of the engine. Some cars have engine covers you'll have to remove to see the spark plug wires, tracing them back to find the plugs themselves. You should always check your owner's manual and look up where your spark plugs are, how many you have, the correct "gap" and the size socket needed to remove them. You should also number the corresponding leads to the cylinder so as not to confuse which lead goes where when replacing with new plugs.  At this point, it is good practice to inspect the leads for any damage or cracks as replacement leads may also be required. If you've been running the car for a while, the plugs and the entire engine and exhaust system manifold can get extremely hot. Only remove them when the engine is cool enough to touch. In the mean time, assemble your tools while you wait for your engine to cool. To change your spark plugs, you'll need:  A ratchet socket drive wrench An extension bar Spark plug socket, usually included in most ratchet socket sets A spark gap gauge or feeler gauge, available at any auto parts store This number should be a specific measurement anywhere between .028-.060 inch, with a bit of wiggle room depending on your particular set of plugs and your car. These days, most plugs come preset according to the model number of the plug and their application, but it is wise to double check. Refer to your owner's manual to find out the optimum distance for your spark plug gap and use a gap checker or feeler gauge to check the distance.  If the distance of the spark plug gap is higher than it...

Google offers access to most of their services with the creation of a Google Mail account, including Drive, Calendar, Google+, YouTube, and more, Microsoft accounts allow you to access Outlook, SkyDrive, Office 365 (with subscription), and create an Xbox gamertag. iCloud mail comes free with an Apple ID, and allows you to send and receive emails using aliases to protect your email address. Yahoo! accounts allow you to create a custom homepage, which you can link with your Facebook account. Most free email accounts come with a limited amount of storage space. While the free amount is typically more than enough for the average personal use, business users may find that the storage is insufficient for high-volumes of emails. Most free email services can be upgraded with more storage for monthly payments. The extra storage will apply to all related services. For example, buying extra storage for Gmail will increase your Drive storage as well. Most internet service providers offer multiple email accounts with your internet package. These can often be accessed through the provider’s home page. Using one of these accounts may be more appealing than setting up a new one, as you are already paying for it with your internet subscription. If you feel like you might change service providers frequently, avoid using their email addresses for anything important You may lose easy access if you change service providers. When you register with a web hosting service, you often receive email accounts that include your domain name. This is especially useful for small business owners, as it allows your email to seem more professional, as opposed to sending email from a free service.

Article in English: When you see a doctor for back pain, the doctor will perform a complete physical exam, which will probably include a series of tests designed to help isolate the exact location of your pain. Depending on your symptoms, your doctor may administer one or more specially designed tests.  The FABER test is used to diagnose sacroiliac joint disease. Your doctor will rotate your hip externally while you lie on your back. If you experience pain, your symptoms are coming from he sacroiliac joint.  The straight-leg test is used to diagnose herniated discs. Your doctor will raise your leg straight in the air while you are lying on your back. If you experience pain during this test, you most likely have a herniated disc.  Your doctor may ask you to bend backwards. This test is used to diagnose spinal stenosis, as those suffering from the condition will experience pain when bending backwards. Your doctor will most likely want to run laboratory tests on your blood as well. While this kind of test may seem unusual, it is actually very important. Blood work is done to rule out underlying conditions that may be contributing to your back pain, such as infections. An x-ray is often one of the first tests a doctor will order to help identify the source of a patient's back pain. This test uses radiation to obtain an image of the bones inside the body.  X-rays are useful for diagnosing conditions that can be seen in the bones, such as fractures and bone spurs. They are not used for diagnosing conditions related to the soft tissue. Be aware that an x-ray is just part of what your doctor will use to find a diagnosis for your condition. An x-ray alone will not usually provide answers about your condition. There are many people with degenerative changes on x-rays who do not have any pain. Disc degeneration, facet joint osteoarthritis, or osteophytes are present in nearly 90 percent of people over the age of 64. If your doctor believes that your back pain may be caused by a problem in the body's soft tissue, you will probably be sent...

Stock questions include: “How are you doing?” “What are you doing over break?” “Were you at the game last night?” “Do you work at _____?” School related questions include: “Did we have homework in English class?” “Do you want to study for the test together?” “What did you think about the quiz?” “Do you need help with the Math homework?” Personalized questions include: “How did you play in the game last night?” “Have you ever seen (insert band’s name) perform live?” ” “What are you doing this weekend?” “Are you going to the party?” “How was your vacation?” After asking the question, remain focused on your crush. Actively listen to their reply so that you can extend the conversation with another question or personal story. As you listen, make a concentrated effort to appear genuinely interested in what your crush has to say—when you remain engaged in a conversation, people are more willing to keep talking.  Set aside all potential distractions, like your phone and computer. Make mental notes of potential follow-up questions or relevant personal stories to share. After your crush has responded to your initial question, both you and your crush have the ability to carry on the conversation. If your crush asks you a question, take a moment to reply to their question and then pose another question of your own. If your crush does not ask you a question, you have three options: ask a follow-up question, share a relevant personal story, or...

Article in English: When you see your starts coming up, weed around them very carefully, paying special attention to milkweed, thistle, and any other local weeds. Kohlrabi are easily beaten out in the beginning, and have a shallow root structure, since the bulb is above ground. The most critical time for kohlrabi is in the first couple of weeks. Let them flourish, then thin them out. After a couple of weeks, the plants should be about 6 inches (15.2 cm) tall and you can start thinning out the most successful of them to give them room to grow. Carefully dig up the plants and re-space them, so they're about 8 inches (20.3 cm) apart, moving some to other places in the garden if necessary. The greens of young kohlrabi can be eaten raw, in salads, or can be thrown into stir-frys as any field green. It's a unique and nutrient-rich way of spicing up a meal. Once the plants are 4–5 inches (10–13 cm) tall, you should provide them a bit of structure and nitrogen support. Pack some compost around the base of kohlrabi to help hold them up and inject some nutrients into the soil. This can be the big difference between healthy-looking big bulbs and woody inedibles. Kohlrabi need lots of water, and do well in relatively mild or Mediterranean climates. If the soil is dry, under-watered kohlrabi will become woody and unpleasant to eat. If the split striations on the bulb start to look dry, increase your waterings. When watering, water the soil around the base of each bulb, don't water on top of the plants, which can increase the possibility of rot. This goes for most cabbage. Kohlrabi and other cabbages are susceptible to cutworms, making it important that you stay on top of these pests as your plants mature. You'll notice holes in the leaves and egg clusters on the underside of the leaves. If you find this, move swiftly.  Wash leaves with egg clusters on them thoroughly, removing the eggs as you find them. It’s common to “collar” the leaf stems of the kohlrabi by tying them up to get the leaves off the ground. This can help to keep the...

Article in English: When you select your variety of gardenia, keep in mind that most gardenia varieties grow better in tropical and subtropical climates. The Kleim's Hardy Gardenia is one of the only gardenia varieties that can withstand relatively cold temperatures. Other varieties that are more suited for colder weather include Chuck Hayes and Frost Proof. Gardenias need a home that receives full to partial sunlight. They like the warmth of the sun for proper growth. Strive to give your gardenia direct morning sun rather than direct afternoon sun. If you are putting your gardenia in an indoor pot, you will want to keep it near a south-facing window so that it can get bright, indirect sunlight for most of the day. Gardenias grow best when they are planted in rich soil that is moist but well-drained. Gardenias do best in soils with acidic pH levels. Try to maintain a pH of 5 or 6. You may want to have your soil tested and then add nutrients according to the results. In particular, if your soil is too basic you will want to add sulfur.

Article in English: When you show your parents your pet, you'll want to put its best face forward. If possible, give your pet a bath. Clean out their cage, and wash their bedding. Make sure that their room is tidy. If your parents see that the animal is well cared for, they may be more likely to let you keep it. Just in case your parents say no, make sure you have your back-up plan all set. Find a friend or relative who is willing to take your pet for you. Offer them all of the necessary pet supplies. Avoid taking your pets to a shelter unless you have no other option. You want to make sure you appear mature and collected when you show your parents your pet. Since this can be an emotional topic, write down what you want to tell them. Try saying it in front of the mirror a few times. The best time to talk to your parents is at home when no one is distracted. Tell your parents that you want to talk, and ask them to sit down with you. Do not tell them as they are driving, cooking, or cleaning. You may be able to talk with them over dinner. Be careful about approaching them right after they get home from work. They may be tired and stressed out. Wait for them to relax before you talk to them. Be honest and straightforward. Let them know how well you have taken care of the pet. If they haven't noticed, point out that the pet is not as noisy or smelly as they may have thought. Acknowledge that you broke the rules, and apologize for it. Ask them if you can keep the pet. Promise to take care of the pet yourself.  For example, you can say,  "I found a cat that needed a home. For the last two weeks, I have cared for the cat in my bedroom. She is very sweet, and I have taken care of her all by myself. I hope to continue caring for her. I know I have broken your trust, but please, can I keep her?" If your parents say no, you have to live with consequences. Give the pet to another home along with all of their bedding, toys, and food. You may be grounded or punished. Bring your pet out to show them. Let them hold and touch your pet. If they...

Article in English: When you stomach is full of water, it stops sending signals to your brain that it wants food. You'll feel fuller on absolutely zero calories. To top it off: Your metabolism gets a boost too.  Although water passes through the digestive system quite quickly, it can still help decrease your appetite. Often we mistake thirst for hunger, especially when the mid-afternoon cravings hit.     10 minutes after drinking 17 ounces of water, subjects of a study in Germany saw a 30% increase in their metabolic rates. And in other studies, it's been shown that water drinkers lose more weight and keep it off.    Losing weight while you sleep sounds like a miracle, doesn't it? But recent research says there are definite connections. Two hormones, leptin and ghrelin, are controlled by sleep; those hormones help control appetite. So don't feel guilty about squeezing in that nap -- you're just curbing your hunger! These two guys work together symbiotically. Ghrelin stimulates the appetite while leptin tells your brain you're full. And leptin, believe it or not, is produced in your fat cells.    Suppressing your appetite is all about tricking your brain -- and using your nose is the ultimate way to do this. In a recent study, people who inhaled peppermint at regular intervals ate 2,700 calories per week less than normal -- which is almost a one-pound loss. In addition to popping that after-dinner mint, banana, green apple, and vanilla show similar miracle-working. And in this one case alone -- more is better: the more you sniff, the fewer calories you'll intake. Put some scented candles in your snack drawer; it'll probably mask the chocolate-y aroma to boot. And if you know you're a stress-eater, try sniffing through your right nostril and your right nostril only; this goes to the side of your brain where your emotions are processed. Reducing your anxiety could reduce your desire to eat.    When you eat, you should be eating, not multi-tasking. You'll be able to concentrate on your food and actually taste the flavors. And eating...

Article in English: When you stop in to check on your guinea pig, talk to it softly and calmly, while still keeping your distance at first. This will help to get your guinea pig slowly used to the sound of your voice and presence. After a few visits, you can try sticking your hand in your guinea pig’s cage. If your guinea pig is feeling adventurous, it might come and sniff your hand. Don’t try to pick your guinea pig up just yet; but rather keep your hand still. Be patient if your guinea pig won’t sniff your hand yet. It can take some time to build trust. Once it seems more used to your presence, entice it into a corner of its cage. Placing one hand under its belly, and your other hand under its rear end, gently pick it up. Alternatively, wrap one hand around its shoulders, and place your other hand under its rear end. Hold it against your chest and talk softly to it.  If your guinea pig seems calm, you can sit with it in a chair and pet it. If it is not calm, put it back in its cage and try again later. You can also try wrapping your guinea pig in a towel as you pick it up. Hold it to your chest, as this seems to make some feel safer. Try picking your guinea pig up on a daily basis for the first few weeks. Even if yours seems a little nervous or frightened, you will eventually become friends if you are consistently calm and patient with it. If your guinea pig starts to make a purring sound (like a cat), this may actually mean that it feels nervous.  Guinea pigs are generally gentle, but can bite or scratch if they are frightened.

Article in English: When you subscribe to a VPN service, you usually receive a username, a password, and a VPN server address. VPN subscriptions are not free, and are often billed monthly.  ExpressVPN is generally considered one of the best choices for Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, and Linux. Downloading free VPN software is a different process, as doing so gives you a program that will block your IP address in all browsers but must be turned on and off. Tap the Settings app icon, which resembles a grey box with gears on it. It's near the top of the Settings page. You'll find this near the bottom of the page. It's at the top of the screen. Tap the Type text field, then tap your VPN's connection type. If you don't see your VPN's connection type here, you can't use your VPN on your iPhone. Fill out any text fields that have "Required" written in them. It's in the top-right corner of the screen. Doing so takes you back to the VPN page, where your VPN should have a blue checkmark next to it. This option is at the top of the screen. The switch will turn green. Type in the password (or other authentication information) in the pop-up menu, then tap OK. This will connect your iPhone to your VPN, allowing you to browse without your IP address being seen.

Article in English: When you suffer from cat allergies, talk to your doctor about the severity of your symptoms. If the allergy is severe, your doctor may recommend moving your pet to a new home. If the symptoms are mild, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes or medications. The type of drug and the dosage for you by your doctor will vary depending on your particular case, so always follow your doctor’s and the manufacturer’s instructions for each medication. Your allergic reaction causes your body to create excess histamine. An antihistamine works by blocking the receptors that the excess histamine would normally bind to, thereby negating the cellular effect of higher histamine in your blood. This means is will help alleviate your allergy symptoms, such as sneezing, itchy eyes, and runny nose. Generally, first-generation antihistamines, like Benadryl, cause more drowsiness, so you may choose to avoid those. Other side effects of these medications include dizziness, dry mouth, headache, and GI upset. You may need to experiment with different ones to find the one that works best for you.  Some common brands of antihistamines include Allegra, Astelin, Benadryl, and Claritin.  Long term use of antihistamines generally is safe. However, it can cause side effects and liver issues, especially for people who are at risk of these. Decongestants can be used to treat the symptoms of congestion caused by allergies. This includes nasal and throat congestion. It also helps with other common allergy symptoms, so it may be a better option if you suffer from other cat allergy symptoms along with your congestion. The most popular brand of decongestant is Sudafed. However, decongestants are sometimes combined with antihistamine, which can be found in Allegra-D and Dimetapp Decongestant. Steroids work by suppressing your immune system, thereby reducing inflammation. These medications work best when used on a regular basis instead of an as-needed basis and are only available by prescription. They can take longer to start working, so give at...

Article in English: When you talk with them, don't get super excited or start acting weird. Just keep calm. They're a normal person just like you. Act natural and they'll find it much easier to interact with you. Greet them every now and then, at first warmly, then a bit more flirtatiously. Say hi in the halls or talk to them a bit. Smile at your crush and make eye contact, but don't be creepy about it. For example, if you do not know your crush very well, get to know him/her slowly (Asking them for the time, talking about a book they are reading, etc.). If they are a friend, start flirting slightly. When conversing with your crush, make sure that you spend at least as much time listening as you do talking. Don't send them a bunch of notes or hang around after school and wait for them. Don't get their phone number from other people or do any kind of stalking. This will make them not want to talk with you or spend any time with you. Think about how your actions will really look to them, especially if they don't share your feelings.

Summary in Russian:

Сохраняйте спокойствие. Говорите! Будьте дружелюбны. Прислушайтесь. Не будьте навязчивы.


Article in English: When you talk, use a clear and even voice. Start by working on keeping your tone and volume as even as possible. When you are prone to shouting or whispering, you might come across as less intelligent. In order to make your speech more clear, you’ll want to make sure you are not speaking too fast. You will also want to watch out for mumbling. Enunciating your words will also make you sound significantly more intelligent.  Enunciation is saying words clearly, without slurring or dropping sounds. For example, you would want to be very careful to enunciate when saying the word “ship”, especially if you were talking quickly. You can use tongue twisters as an exercise to get you speaking at a good speed and make sure that you are enunciating correctly. Try saying: “Shep Schwab shopped at Scott's Schnapps shop. One shot of Scott's Schnapps stopped Schwab's watch.” When you speak, use proper grammar as much as possible. Don't worry about colloquialisms and common phrases but do make sure that most of your speech is correct. When you use improper grammar, it tells people (even if it's not true) that you don't understand your own spoken language. This makes you look unintelligent.  If you don't really know the proper grammar to use, listen to smart people talk and read a lot of high quality books. With a little effort, you'll pick it up with time. An example of improper grammar would be "You and me went for a walk" instead of "you and I went for a walk". Another example would be replacing words or cutting words, like saying "you been" instead of "you have been" or "I were/You was" instead of "I was/You were". There are few things that will make you look sillier than using words incorrectly or pronouncing them very wrong. This tends to happen with more complex words, and especially if you're trying to fake looking smarter by using really fancy vocabulary that you don't actually understand yet. Stick to words you really know.  Common examples of mispronunciation include "nu-cu-lar" instead of "nu-cle-ar" and...

Article in English: When you think about journaling, you probably think of a notebook and pen. Use any notebook you like and feel comfortable with. Pick a plain notebook if you want to decorate it, or select a nice journal if you want something more stylish.  For a budget friendly option, look for a spiral notebook or composition book in the school supplies section. If you want a fancy journal, visit a bookstore or the office supplies section of your local department store. You might find it more convenient to type your journal entries. Use your preferred word processor to keep your journal. Create a new document at set intervals, such as each month or year. Then, save all of your journal entries into the same folder.  For instance, you might create a new journal document each month. Your folder might include saved files titled “January 2020,” “February 2020,” “March 2020,” etc. Any word processor will work. For instance, use Word, Pages, or Notepad. If you choose Google Drive, you can access your journal from all of your devices. This means you can write entries on your computer, tablet, or phone. If you don’t mind making your ideas public, try keeping a blog. Use your journal in a way that helps you by setting a purpose for your journal. Consider why you want to keep a journal and how you hope it will help you. Then, pick a type of journal to keep. Here are some common options:  A personal journal to write about your daily life, your thoughts, and your feelings about what you’re going through. A gratitude journal to record the things you’re grateful for each day. A therapy journal to help you work through an issue or to support your recovery. A travel journal to document the places you go, what you do on your trips, and your impressions of the places you visit. An art journal includes images, sometimes along with text. Draw, paint, and/or collage inside your journal. It’s so frustrating staring at a blank page with no ideas! Fortunately, it’s easy to find a source of inspiration for a journal entry.

Article in English: When you trip a breaker and lose power to a room, unplug everything in that room. You can spot the breaker in question by finding the switch that is out of line with the other switches. If you have power, your breakers should all be in the "on" position. The tripped breaker will either be flipped to "off" or it will not be fully on. Some circuit breakers have a red or orange mark on them that is easy to see when the switch is off. This can help you locate the tripped breaker. Flip the tripped breaker all the way off before turning it back on. Many breakers will not reset unless they have been turned off completely. If the breaker trips immediately, call an electrician to inspect your wiring. Once you have flipped the breaker back on, plug your appliances back in. If you trip the breaker again, there may be an issue with your appliance, or you could be plugging too many appliances into one circuit. If you trip the breaker from plugging in too many appliances, try using a different outlet. If that does not solve the problem, call an electrician.

Article in English: When you use Facebook for business networking, you need to be cautious of what you upload, post, and share. These things can all be seen by the professionals you are networking with, and can have a negative impact on your professional life. If you decide to start networking professionally on Facebook, take some time to tidy up your profile. Take down any comments or photos that might be incriminating. Avoid keeping pictures of you drinking or taking drugs. Sexually suggestive photos will also make you appear much less professional. While you don't want to turn your Facebook profile into your resume, you should still highlight all of your most important work milestones. Create a Professional list that only contains your professional contacts, and a Friends list that includes all of your social contacts. This allows you to set aspects of your profile to only be visible to your social friends. Whenever you add a professional contact, put them in the Professional list. See this guide for details on creating a new list and adding people to it. Once you have a Professional list and a Friends list, you can start blocking off parts of your profile from your professional contacts. Open your Facebook home page and click the "Edit profile" link underneath your image.  For every entry in your profile, you can set who can view it. Click the button with the silhouettes in the corner of each item to select who can see the item. Use this to hide any information that you don't want professional contacts to see, but don't care if friends see. Make sure to do this for any images that you don't want to share with professional contacts as well. Images can be very damaging if they contain content that a company might find objectionable. Before you start making new contacts, spend a few minutes tracking down old coworkers and other professional contacts. This can help you build an established network before you start meeting new people. Click the Friends icon in the Facebook title bar. Click the Find Friends link, and then use the...

Article in English: When you use torrents to download files, you'll be loading a torrent file into your client. The client will then connect to other computers that have the same torrent file and begin downloading the actual game files to your computer. The more people that are sharing the file, the faster that you will be able to download it. You can download highly compressed versions of games from various websites, but this isn't recommended as they've often been stripped of lots of assets to make the file size smaller. With hard drive storage becoming cheaper and cheaper, you'll get a better experience getting a full game from a torrent. Torrent trackers are sites that host torrent files. You can use torrent trackers like search engines to find the exact game that you are looking for. The easiest way to find torrent trackers is to simply search for "torrent tracker" using your favorite search engine. Most trackers you'll find through Google are public trackers that anyone can use. If you do some digging, you'll likely come across private trackers. These may allow you to find harder-to-find games, as well as stay out of the spotlight. Private trackers typically require invites from existing users, and almost always make members upload as much as they download. Use the torrent tracker to search for the game that you want to download. If it is a more recent release, you'll likely find several options in the search results list. If the game is older, there may only be one or two options, or the game might not be available on that tracker. It is illegal to download a game that you don't own in most areas. The first thing that you want to look at in the results list is the number of "Seeders". These are users that have the complete file and are sharing it with others. Not only do more seeders lead to a faster speed, but more users generally indicates that the file works. This is especially important with games, as many are designed with copyright protections to prevent users who didn't purchase the game from playing. You'll want...

Article in English: When you walk away from a bully, you show that that person doesn’t have control over your actions or emotions. Engaging the person means you are meeting him or her on  the same level. You don’t need to engage this person, and there’s no use putting any of your energy into the situation. Remember that you choose your response. Is it worth engaging with this person? It may be better to just walk away and not even bother. If someone is harassing you or egging you on,  calmly tell this person that you are not interested in engaging with him or her. Remember the person can only bully you if you give him or her power over your emotions. Once you no longer seem to care what this person thinks, he or she may become bored or disinterested.  If the person persists, ignore the person. Say, “I don’t want to talk to you” or “This doesn’t interest me.” Remember that you have control over how (or if) you react. If it isn’t worth your time, say so. Ask yourself, “Will I remember this situation in 1 year? What about 5 years? Will this affect my life then?” If not, determine to spend your energy and time elsewhere. Also ask yourself if these are people that will continue to be in your life for a long time. If you have plans to go to college or move, it’s likely these people will be gone from your life soon enough. If someone is being mean to you, respond with a joke or with some humor. Humor completely disarms someone trying to hurt you, and he or she may be too surprised to know how to respond. When you use humor, it shows that this person has no control over you.  If a mean person targets you and you respond with a joke, it’s likely he or she will lose interest in trying to hurt you. If someone is making fun of your shoe size, say, “You’re probably right. I tried out for the Lord of the Rings but I guess my feet weren’t hairy enough.”

Article in English: When you want to use your critical thinking skills to act — because armchair philosophy can get old after too long — it helps to know what your options are. Lay them all out there, and then weigh the options. We often pigeonhole ourselves into believing that we're stuck with only one option, when other options are available. You want to be the big fish in the little pond, because it makes your ego feel good. Well, throw away your ego. If you really want to learn, get better at something, and develop critical thinking skills, hobnob with people smarter than yourself. Not only can you bet that the smart people themselves rub shoulders with people smarter than they are, you can also bet that some of that intelligence is going to permeate your perspective. Be fearless in the face of failure. Failure is just another way of figuring out what doesn't work. Use failure to your advantage by learning from your lessons. The popular myth out there is that successful people never fail, when the truth is that successful people fail until they succeed, at which point their success is the only thing that's visible.

Article in English: When you wash every day, you put unnecessary strain on your hair follicles. The nourishing oil your scalp naturally produces gets washed away, plus you pull and tug on your hair in the process of washing it, drying it and combing it out. When regrowth is your goal, you want to treat your hair and scalp as gently as you can and leave it alone as much as possible.  Washing every three days or so, or going even longer without washing, is recommended by beauty experts as the best course of action. In between washing days, try using dry shampoo. It's a powder you sprinkle on your hair and then comb through. Your hair will look clean and smell fresh for the day. When you step out of the shower, use a wide-toothed comb to gently comb out the tangles, starting at the tips and moving up toward the roots. When you yank a brush through your hair, you damage your hair from the roots down the shaft and all the way to the tips, causing hair loss, breakage and split ends.  Be especially careful when your hair is wet, since it's most easily damaged when it's moist and stretchy. The thicker and curlier your hair is, the wider the teeth on your comb should be. If you have very kinky or curly hair, don't comb any more than necessary. Heat is damaging to hair, plain and simple. Even if you use a heat protectant, your hair will still be affected when you apply heat from a hair dryer, curling iron or straightening iron. Use heat only when you absolutely have to for a special occasion. Otherwise, let your hair air dry and style it without using heat tools. When you're trying to regrow your hair, trimming it off isn't going to help the problem. It's a good idea to trim off your split ends every few months, but don't go overboard getting brand new styles. Having a stylist cut and style your hair using heat tools and heavy products could make matters worse. It's better to do your daily massage, use oil treatments and mask, and otherwise try to leave your scalp alone so your hair can start growing in. When you do get your hair cut, opt...

Article in English: When you wear heels, your body has to take a different approach to walking because of the new angle at which it places your legs and feet. Try following a simple approach to help you more easily walk in high heels. First, take a step forward, starting with your heel, and rock all the way forward to the tip of the toe. Repeat these two words with every step as a reminder, "heel - toe; heel - toe; heel - toe...", and before you know it, you will feel sturdy, stable, confident, and comfortable walking in heels.  Eventually, you will develop muscle memory to walk comfortably and easily in heels. After you can walk at a good pace, watch yourself in a mirror to smooth out your new strut. Your stride should be natural, and your body should remain perpendicular to the floor. If you catch yourself wobbling unsteadily, slow it down again until you feel good. You should walk as if you are being pulled up by a string. As you walk, use your hips to shift and lift your legs to the center with each step you take. Condition your body to deal with the changes in posture, which will engage different muscles than when you are walking barefoot or in flats. Your feet, ankles, knees, and back will thank you!  Keep your back straight, don't slouch. Don't block your arms when walking, swing them normally. Take small steps and walk in a straight line. You wouldn't go from couch potato to marathon runner in one day. Similarly, you can't go from ballet flats to four-inch stilettos in one day. If you are planning to wear heels for a special occasion, begin by wearing them for increasing intervals of time every day prior to your event. First, wear them for thirty minutes, then an hour the next day, and then two hours. This will help prepare you for an extended time in your heels. Start slow by walking back and forth on a non-slippery surface. Then, try to walk up and down stairs. Make sure you can bend over to pick things up. Try wearing a pair while vacuuming, getting ready in the morning or before bed, and running small and routine...

Article in English: When you wear something that makes you feel great, it boosts your confidence and makes you look more attractive. Choose something that enhances your best features and flatters your shape. This will draw his attention.  For instance, you might wear jeans and a form-fitting t-shirt or button-up, a cotton t-shirt and a skirt, or a cute dress. Don’t worry about being trendy. He’s going to pay more attention to your confidence, not your outfit. You don't need to wear makeup to get a guy, but red lipstick is a great option if makeup is already a part of your look. Red lipstick is considered a sexy color, so it will make guys think you’re more attractive. Use a classic red for an easy option. Alternatively, match your red to your skin tone. Wear a red with bluish undertones if you have a cool skin tone or a red with orange undertones if you have a warm skin tone.  Don’t worry about wearing red lipstick if you hate makeup. You want him to be attracted to who you are. If you're still in school, make sure you're allowed to wear makeup before you do it. Scent can both draw his attention and make him remember you. Choose a scent that you like and that smells great on you. Then, wear it whenever you’re around him. For instance, you might wear perfume, scented lotion, scented shampoo, or diluted essential oils. Eye contact shows him that you noticed him. If you also smile, he’ll know you might be interested. Plus, smiling makes your face look more attractive. Whenever you’re around him, look him in the eye and smile. Don’t stare at him longer than 3 seconds because he’ll get uncomfortable. Face your body toward him and keep your arms down at your sides. This shows him you’re approachable and comfortable with him. Avoid positions that close you off, like crossing your arms over your chest or crossing your legs. Try not to turn away from him because this closes you off from him. Winking at a guy is an easy way to flirt without having to say anything. Whenever you pass by him, look at him, smile, and wink. Keep walking so...

Article in English: When you're deciding to give up any food you'll have to decide if you're going give it up all at once or slowly taper it out of your diet.  Regardless of which option you choose, there will likely be some withdrawal symptoms.  If you consume large quantities of sugar or have been consuming it for a long period of time, going cold turkey might come with more intense withdrawal symptoms.  It might be best to slowly remove sugar from your diet over a few weeks. If you only consume small amounts of sugar you may be able to go cold turkey with minimal symptoms. If you choose to taper down the amount of sugar you're including in your diet, make sure to be honest about your choices.  Don't indulge in a sweet treat just to have a source of sugar in your day. Letting go of sugar may not always be an easy task.  In addition, finding foods to replace sugar in diet may also be difficult or time consuming.  Start journaling your foods, diet plan, and how you're feeling as you cut sugar out of your diet.  Come up with a strategy and make notes in your journal.  You might start by writing down a food diary to get an idea of how much sugar you consume in any given day or week.  Then you can start making a plan of how to reduce sugar in your diet. Also include different healthy swaps you are thinking about using.  You might need to try a few different things before you find something that works. You can also include notes on your mood or how you're feeling about your progress.  Journaling is a great way to manage any stress related to this task. Like many food addictions, when you give-up the offending food, you may have some side effects.  These symptoms are normal and to be expected. Remember that sugar is essentially a drug. With any drug, quitting can lead to withdrawal and cravings. These will pass but the initial withdrawal phase may be a bit tricky.  How long you experience withdrawal symptoms depends on how much sugar you've been eating each day and for how long you've been consuming sugar.  The more sugar you've been...

Article in English: When you're drunk, you start to overlook things about your appearance that you would usually care about when sober. Run your fingers through your hair and intentionally mess it up. The more outrageous and disheveled you look, the drunker you'll appear.  Having messy hair tells other people that you don't care about being perfect and are here for a good time. It could also make people think that you've been partying. Alcohol reduces motor skills. For that reason, many drunk people will drop things frequently. Many times, this includes food and drink. Put ketchup or mustard stains on your shirt and act like you don't notice it or that you don't care.  If someone mentions the stain, respond by saying "Yeah, I know. I don't care." You can use other things to create stains, but avoid dairy products or any other food that would produce an odor. Tucking your shirt in half way will enhance how oblivious you look, and people will mistake it for being drunk. Make sure that it doesn't look intentional, or else people won't associate it with drunken behavior. Try to make it look like you just used the bathroom. Tucking your shirt in half way could be a fashion statement. Glazed and bloodshot eyes are a common sign of drunkenness. There are safe and natural ways to make your eyes naturally red. To do this, rub a small amount of freshly cut onion, menthol, or peppermint oil under your eye to make them appear redder.  You can also try crying or blinking several times to make your eyes look redder. Redness occurs because alcohol can swell the blood vessels in your eyes and makes them appear red. Make sure that the peppermint oil, menthol, or onion does not make direct contact with your eye.

Article in English: When you're handling stain and sanding, it's important to wear protective clothing, gloves, eyewear, and respiration if you're indoors. Avoid getting wood stain in your face or on your skin. If you're staining in your garage, it's also critical to wear breathing protection and to ventilate the area as much as possible. Take frequent breaks and make sure you're getting enough clean air into your lungs. Stop immediately if you start to feel light-headed. Paint the stain onto the wood with the grain, using a lint-free cloth folded into a pad. Paint evenly, with the door laid flat so the stain won't drip down the wood grain and stain at awkward intervals.  After the first light pressure wipes, without adding more stain from can, apply even pressure and wipe three to eight times with the grain. Always go with the grain of wood, and in a singular motion without stopping. Some wood workers like to apply the initial coat with a brush, then go over the stain while it's still wet with a rag to smooth out the stain and create a more even look. If you're using a poly stain or a gel stain, it's sometimes recommended to use a brush, as opposed to a lint-free cloth. Always defer to the manufacturer's directions and use the appropriate tool and technique for the stain you're using. Depending on your project, the wood you're staining, and the variety of stain you're using, you may be ready to finish the stain, or you'll likely want to apply a second, and possibly more coats. If so, it's important to let the stain dry, sand over it with 0000 steel wool or 220 sandpaper, and repeat the staining process. Use a clean lint-free cloth to wipe off excess stain as you're painting it on, to avoid uneven pools of stain that will form dark spots. As stain dries, a kind of "peach fuzz" will form as a result of stain, which you should work off with the steel wool, moving in gentle but even circles with the grain of the wood. Typically, you want to allow six to ten hours of drying time between coats. Now, if desired, you may dip your...

Article in English: When you're on the job market, you are often told to dress for the job you want, not the job you have—which is clichéd, but it's a cliché for a reason. It really is important that you present yourself to voters through your dress and demeanor in a way that conveys to them you are serious and ready for the job.  If you are campaigning for a position which will put you in contact with leaders and officials of the community, pay attention to how they dress. Do they wear professional suits? If so, you should as well when you are at public events. When it's time for you to get up in front of people and make your pitch, you don't want to have to rely upon notes or a teleprompter to get you through the speech. Treat the task of learning to deliver your message like any other skill, such as being able to consistently hit a baseball:   Do it over and over again until you can do it reflexively. You don't want to be searching for words or need to take long pauses to gather your thoughts when you are in front of your audience. In order to be smooth and polished, practice in front of a mirror, record yourself, and take advantage of friends and family who are willing to listen (and re-listen) to your speech over and over again. Besides needing to know how to talk about your platform in a clear and engaging manner, you're going to need to be able to respond to questions and objections from the audience or your opponent. This can be incredibly hard to do, especially if you are presented with an unexpected question.   In order to prepare yourself and help relieve any anxiety about being unable to respond, enlist the help of a friend who is on the opposite side of the issue or who is who is really good at playing devil's advocate. Have them throw tough questions at you so that you can practice responding quickly and effectively. Make sure that your constituents know how to get in touch with you (and actually follow up when people ask for meetings or send you questions), and be willing to arrive early and stay late at events so...

Article in English: When you're on the mic, try to remember the most important part of being a wedding MC: You're not the entertainment. It's not your job to be funny, it's not your job to tell stories, it's not your job to do anything but make sure everyone knows what's coming up next in the evening, and what they need to do. You'll have an opportunity to talk for a while, usually at the very beginning of the reception, before the bride and groom enter, which is when you can introduce yourself and set the tone of the evening. The room will probably be buzzing and unsettled, anyway, so don't think about launching into that crude story about your spring break trip to Cancun with the groom. Even though you've got a naturally witty, charming, and hilarious personality--that's why the lucky couple picked you to MC, no doubt--don't try to rely upon your talents and skills, hoping you'll be able to improvise your way through the night. After a busy and stressful day of the wedding, it's likely your mind will come up blank. Write down what you're going to say, and keep your script handy on a mobile device or a notepad. Write it like you'll want to read it, word-for-word, so you won't have to fill in the gaps at the last minute. Make sure they know what's coming, both in terms of what will be said, who will say it, and when. The night of the wedding isn't the time to shake things up and decide at the last minute that you're going to launch into the best man's speech while the groom's father is outside talking to grandma. Make sure everyone's ready, everyone's on-point with the plan, and stick to it. Even if the speech-givers want to surprise the party with their speeches, try to find out what's in them and let the bride and groom know. It can be somewhat embarrassing to have to listen to a crude attempt at jokes from someone at a wedding, so it's good to do a little screening. It's not your job to tell them not to give the speech as written, just let the couple know so they'll be prepared and won't be (overly) embarrassed on their...

Article in English: When you're out drinking, don't make every drink an alcoholic drink. Try drinking a soft drink or water instead of alcohol for some of your drinks to cut down on your alcohol intake — try making every other drink a non-alcoholic one. To play it safe, consider only drinking a single alcoholic drink per hour. That means one glass of wine, one 12-ounce beer, or one 80-proof shot. Also, try not to switch back and forth on what you're drinking. If you're drinking beer, stick with beer; if you're drinking hard liquor, stick with that. Switching can sometimes lead to over-drinking. Drinking games encourage you to drink alcohol quickly in a short period of time. This type of behavior can easily lead to alcohol poisoning, so try to bow out of drinking games. If you really want to participate, substitute a non-alcoholic beverage like soda or juice. Another dangerous habit is chugging alcohol. It can be tempting to chug when people around you are encouraging you to drink faster; however, drinking too fast can lead to alcohol poisoning, as you're putting a lot of alcohol in your system in a short period of time. Any alcohol you liver cannot process floats around in your bloodstream and finds its way to the brain, where it damages cells and, in high enough quantities, can shut down the brain stem. Chugging is like mainline alcohol into your brain. Not all drinks are created equal when it comes to alcohol content. Therefore, it can help to pick drinks that aren't as strong, to help lower how much alcohol you consume. For instance, a 5-ounce glass of wine at 12 percent alcohol is considered one drink, while a 12-ounce glass of beer at 5 percent is also considered one drink. However, some lagers can have a much higher alcohol content. In addition, 1.5 ounces (one shot) of 80 proof alcohol is considered one drink. So if you're drinking something that has multiple shots in it, you're drinking more than one drink at once. For a 160-pound guy, 15 shots in three or four hours could lead to alcohol poisoning. For a 120-pound...

Article in English: When you're picking out a donkey, it's important to take these factors into consideration. Male and female donkeys have different temperaments, and there are miniature, standard and giant-sized donkeys which are as big as standard horses. Figure out which type is the right fit for your needs before you decide which one to bring home.  If you plan to keep your donkey as a pet, choose a gelding (a castrated male) or a jenny (a female). If you plan to breed your donkey, you'll need a jack (an intact male) and one or more jennies. Don't get a jack if you just want a pet and don't keep a jack with other male donkeys, since they'll fight. If you plan to ride your donkey, make sure it's big enough to handle your weight. A donkey can safely carry 20% of its body weight. Also, just like mule, horse or camel, make sure they are not sick or injured, because this could make it worse If you plan to use your donkey as a guard animal against predators, such as wolves or dogs, choose a standard or giant donkey, not a miniature. It's important that the donkey be larger than the predator. If this is your first time handling a donkey, you'll want to choose one who already knows how to stand and walk on a lead without bolting. You may also want to make sure the donkey can handle being petted all over its body and will allow you to lift its feet without trouble. Donkeys can be a little tricky to train, so unless you're experienced with them, it's a good idea to choose one that is fairly well behaved or find a friend to help you. Donkeys are extremely social creatures and they get sad when they're left all alone in the pasture. Your donkey will be a lot happier with a companion. Two jennies, two geldings or a jenny and a gelding make good companions for each other. Donkeys will bond deeply with their companions for life, and they won't want to go anywhere without each other.   Donkeys can bond with horses but if you ever plan to take the horse somewhere without the donkey, it's not advisable to allow them to create a deep bond....

Article in English: When you're planning to make roasted leg of lamb, buy the lamb from a butcher you know and trust, rather than picking it up on sale from the grocery store. That's because the quality of the meat will have a big impact on the taste of the finished roast. Ask for a leg of lamb at market weight, meaning it was butchered at the proper age.  Lamb that's below market weight was butchered too early. Butchering a baby lamb is unethical and isn't a common practice among reputable farmers and butchers. Lamb that's over market weight was butchered later in the animal's life. Older meat will taste more like mutton (the meat of an adult sheep) than lamb. Mutton has a much stronger taste that some people find distasteful. Bone-in lamb, like other bone-in meats, tends to be more flavorful than boneless meat. As the bone cooks it releases juices that flavor the meat. However, bone-in lamb is a bit more difficult to cut than boneless, so you might find it easier to go with the boneless. Boneless meat usually comes in an oven-safe net or wrapped in twine, to keep the meat in the shape of a leg.  With the bone, a leg of lamb will weight about 6 1/2 to 8 pounds. If your boneless leg of lamb does not come in an oven-safe net, use kitchen twine to tie the meat together in several spots along its length. The part of the lamb's leg that is edible is the upper leg, or the thigh. The bottom part of the leg is called the shank. Some people like to roast the entire leg, for an impressive presentation, while others prefer to just use the top part of the leg. The shank doesn't have enough meat to eat, but you can use the bone as a soup base. If the butcher hasn't already trimmed away the fell, a thick cap of fat that encases the leg, have them do so. If you roast the lamb leg with the fell, it will be more likely to taste of mutton, and it will be less tender. However, don't have the butcher remove all of the fat. Keeping some of the fat intact will help to flavor the lamb and keep it moist.

Article in English: When you're setting up a wireless router, you'll need to keep a few things in mind:  For easy troubleshooting, the router should usually be placed close to your modem. It should be located centrally to allow for maximum wireless coverage. You'll need to connect a computer to the router via Ethernet during the setup process. You'll be using your computer's web browser to configure the router's wireless network. You can use any web browser. You can typically find this printed on the bottom of the router, or in your router's documentation. If you can't find it, there are a couple things you can try:  Windows - Right-click the Network button in the System Tray → click Open Network and Sharing Center → click the Ethernet link → click Details → find the Default Gateway entry for your router's IP address. Mac - Click the Apple menu and select System Preferences → click Network → click your Ethernet connection → find the Router entry for your router's IP address. You'll be prompted for the login information for your router. The default login information varies depending on your router model, but the username is often "admin" and the password is often "admin," "password," or blank. You can look up your router model at https://portforward.com/router-password/ to find the default login information. The exact location and wording of this section varies from router to router. This may also be called "Network name." This is the name that appears in the list of available wireless networks. This is the most secure option currently available on most routers. Avoid WPA and WEP except when explicitly required by older, incompatible devices. This password will be required in order to connect to the network. The field may be labeled "Pre-Shared Key." Depending on the router, you may have to check a box or click a button at the top of the Wireless menu to enable the wireless network. This will save the changes to your router. It may take a minute for the router and network to come back online. Once the network is back up, it will...

Article in English: When you're shopping and are on the lookout for preservatives, there are a variety of places on food packaging that can help you determine whether or not you want to buy that product.  100% organic foods are also not always preservative free.  By legal definition, only 95% of the ingredients or additives of a 100% organic food need to be organic.  In addition, there are 45 additives that are actually permitted in organic foods.  These are there as they have been deemed as "essential" to the safety of the foods.  There are some phrases like "all natural" or "natural" that do not really have a legal definition within the FDA.  Many food companies use this terminology for marketing and advertising purposes.  However, there are plenty of "all natural" foods that contain a variety of added sweeteners, natural flavors and preservatives.  Don't get fooled by this type of labeling. After reviewing any labeling claims on the front of the package, you will need to double check and verify with other labels on your food. The ingredient list is required and all food manufacturers need to include an ingredient list on their products.  This is where you will find out what types, if any, of preservatives are added.  The FDA requires all food manufacturers to list every single ingredient contained in a food product on the ingredient label.  When reviewing the ingredient list, know that the first ingredient listed is the 1 found in the highest quantity.  The last ingredient listed is found in the least or smallest quantities in the product.  Preservatives will be listed with a statement about their intended purpose. For instance, the ingredient list may declare “ascorbic acid to improve color retention” or “sulfur dioxide to prevent rotting.”  This can give you an idea of why the additive is a part of the food. Food manufacturers may add a whole variety of different compounds to foods for many reasons.  Preservatives are only 1 type of additive that food companies use.  In addition to preservatives, you may also notice other...

Article in English: When you're taking everything off, take them off first. As an organic gem composed of calcium carbonate, pearls are more vulnerable to the chemicals found in cosmetics, hair spray, and perfume. Dress, style your hair, apply your make-up, and spray on your perfume before you put on any pearl jewelry. These pieces are more subject to scratching since they sit on your hands. Never wear these pieces when you anticipate working with your hands, and limit them to special occasions. Especially if you know you are going to do a rough job like playing sports, bathing or grooming your pet, take them off immediately. A pearl's luster can be damaged by even the smallest amount of perspiration. Removing your sweat from the pearls after each use helps preserve their luster. You can also dab a drop of water on them and clean them off. Don't scrub too hard, even though it is soft cloth! Acid can come in the form of sweat, perfume, fruit juice, vinegar, or a number of other substances. The acid will break down the crystallized calcium of the pearl, ruining its luster and causing a very long-term damage.

Article in English: When you're warm and cozy in bed and your alarm goes off, your first instinct is to hit snooze. When you snooze your alarm and drift back to sleep, you're resetting your sleep cycle. The next time your alarm sounds, you'll be groggier because you're interrupting a new sleep cycle. This is called "sleep inertia." Get into the habit of waking up the first time your alarm sounds. You'll be more alert and motivated to get going with your day.  Keep your curtains partially open. When light fills your bedroom in the morning, waking up is easier. Light in the morning tells your body to naturally awaken. It will help you get into a lighter stage of sleep, so when your alarm sounds, it's easier to get out of bed. Set your alarm for 10 or 15 minutes earlier. You can ease into your morning more calmly as opposed to rushing around. Sit up slowly in bed and do some stretches. Make an effort to go to bed around the same time each night, even on weekends or days off. Consistency is key to healthy sleep patterns. Your circadian rhythm stays in sync when you have the same bedtime routine each night. Have two or three ready-to-go outfits in your closet. For example, have your shirt, pants, and belt on one hanger, with matching shoes below. This takes the guesswork out of choosing an outfit for the morning. Sleep in your workout clothes. If you want to work out first thing in the morning, you'll have one less thing to do if you're already dressed to hit the gym. You're dehydrated when you wake up since you've fasted all night during sleep. Drink a glass of water or a small cup of juice with your breakfast. This wakes up the cells in your brain. It's an instant way to feel more alert and motivated. Drink caffeine moderately. A cup or two of coffee or tea helps you feel more alert. Avoid caffeine overload. Any more than three cups may make you feel jittery and distracted. It can actually decrease motivation because you're unable to focus. Not everyone benefits from a full workout first thing in the morning. If fitting in a...
