Article in English: If you still have the instructions manual, read it before cleaning your coffee maker. Most coffee makers can safely be cleaned with a vinegar/water mixture, but it's always a good idea to check first. If you don't have the instructions manual, try looking up your model online. You may be able to find an instructions manual on the Internet. Many people keep the reservoir lid closed. However, it's a good idea to leave it open when not in use. This will help dry out the machine, preventing mold and bacteria from growing in a moist environment.

Article in English: If you suspect VUR, or just have evidence for a UTI, you will want to go to a doctor to get a diagnostic test and the best treatment options. When you visit the doctor, you should have information ready that will help him or her understand the situation better. It is a good practice to write this information down before going to the doctor. Information you should have includes:  Any signs or symptoms your child has, and for how long. Your child's medical history, including recent health problems and general information. Your family medical history, especially whether any of the child's close relatives (parents and siblings) have had VUR. Any medications your child is currently taking, both prescription and over-the-counter, and how much they have taken. Any other questions you might have for the doctor. When you are at the appointment, don't be afraid to ask questions that occur to you. You want to find the right treatment for your child, so do everything you can to learn your child's condition, and what your options are. A sonogram uses very high frequency sound (ultrasound) to generate images, which avoids radiation exposure. The sonogram will not be able to identify the presence of urinary reflux in itself; however, it will reveal any damage to the bladder and kidneys caused by more severe reflux or any anatomical problems that may be associated with reflux.  This procedure is painless and safe, but it can be difficult to perform well if your child is uncooperative. In children with urinary reflux, an ultrasound may reveal swollen, scarred or unusually small kidneys. If the doctor wants to look at the bladder, it is important for it to be as full as possible. This can be difficult with babies and very young children. Let the technicians know the last time your child urinated. If it has been awhile, the doctor can try to do the bladder part of the study first before your child urinates. Older children often will be asked to urinate after the first part of the study, and take additional images after. The two...

Article in English: If you suspect that you have one or two hairs stuck in your throat, try to just swallow them. The hair will travel through your digestive tract like food does and your body will excrete them. Your body will not break down the hair because it's made of keratin, a dense protein. If it feels like the hair is long, see if you can use your clean fingers to pull the hair out of your throat. You may be able to get the hair out of your throat by swallowing a large mouthful of food. Choose foods that are soft and gentle on your throat. For example, eat a few bites of banana or soft bread.  You should only try to swallow a bite that fits comfortably in your mouth. If you try to swallow too big of a bite, you could choke. The hair will travel through your digestive tract with the food, if you managed to swallow it. If you can't get the hair out of your throat and the sensation is bothering you, schedule an appointment with an ear, nose, and throat specialist. If you're experiencing any other signs of a sore throat, like painful swallowing or pus on your tonsils, you should be thoroughly examined. The specialist may need to run tests or get x-rays. Ensure that you give a complete medical history and explain all of your symptoms.

Article in English: If you suspect that your guinea pig is pregnant, then it's imperative that you consult a vet. You will not be able to tell for sure until the guinea pig is examined and assessed by a skilled veterinary professional. If you need to transport your guinea pig, never pick her up by her stomach as it can harm the unborn guinea pigs and the mother herself. You'll need to encourage her into a transport cage through treats or her favourite vegetables/fruit. A veterinarian will be able to feel around your guinea pig's stomach and differentiate between the different lumps and bumps, something that you may not be able to do effectively on your own. Your vet should be able to tell whether or not your guinea pig is pregnant through a physical examination, but may also recommend additional testing, such as an ultrasound (see below). You vet may also be able to hear the piglets' heartbeats in the sow's abdomen. An ultrasound scan is the gold standard for pregnancy diagnosis among guinea pigs. Unlike in other species, the stress of taking blood can adversely affect the health of pregnant guinea pigs. Moreover, there is no commercial pregnancy test available for guinea pigs.  An ultrasound scan can visualize exactly what the bumps are and confirm a pregnancy. The ultrasound exam involves involves clipping a small square of fur and applying gel to the exposed skin. Then, the ultrasound probe is placed on skin and emits a high-frequency sound that is inaudible to human ears. The probe records the echoes as the sound waves bounce back in order to determine the size, shape, and consistency of internal tissues and organs. This information is then translated into an image. In other words, you will be provided with a visual of your guinea pig's abdomen and the doctor can then confirm or disconfirm a pregnancy. Ultrasounds are non-invasive and do not require sedation. If the vet confirms that your pig pregnant, then it is important that you make sure you know how to properly care for her. A pregnancy puts stress on the sow's organs...

Article in English: If you suspect that you’re experiencing chronic gastritis, schedule an appointment with your primary care physician. Describe your stomach symptoms, including the severity of any pain, how long the pain lasts, and how many weeks or months you’ve been experiencing pain for. Also mention any prescription (or non-prescription) meds that you’re taking.  In cases of prolonged use of NSAIDs, chronic bile reflux, HIV/AIDS, and Crohn's disease, chronic gastritis is more likely to be severe. If you have one of these conditions, undergo medical treatment to control the illness, and then talk with your doctor about how to medically manage chronic gastritis. Sometimes chronic gastritis cases are caused by the presence of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori, which can be identified via an endoscopic biopsy. During an endoscopy, the doctor will insert a plastic tube down your throat and into your stomach, in order to extract a sample of your stomach bacteria.  You might experience mild discomfort during the procedure. However, it won’t be painful, and should be over within 10-15 minutes. If your doctor would like to detect H. pylori without an invasive endoscopy, they may ask you to drink a small glass of radioactive fluid. You’ll then exhale into a bag, which will be sealed and sent to a laboratory. A lab analysis will confirm or deny the presence of H. pylori. If your doctor does detect H. pylori (or another bacteria that causes gastritis) in your stomach, they can prescribe an antibiotic to clear out the bacteria. Commonly prescribed antibiotics include Amoxicillin, Clarithromycin, or Metronidazole. Doctors commonly prescribe a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) along with 1 or more antibiotics to cure gastritis as quickly and efficiently as possible. H-2 blockers cut back on the amount of acid that your digestive tract releases. Less acid in your stomach will decrease the pain caused by gastritis and should also let your stomach heal. These drugs can be available either over the counter or by prescription, depending on the...

Article in English: If you suspect your cat has worms, the next step is to try to identify the type of worm. This helps you to know what sort of medication is going to be effective in getting rid of the infestation. Look under your cat's tail. Tapeworm egg packets migrate out of the cat's anus and get stuck around the fur near the rectum. The egg packets are a creamy-white color and are variously described as looking like rice grains, cucumber pips, or sesame seeds.  The egg packets may also get stuck to the cat's bedding, so have a quick look at your cat’s bedding as well. If you find these, take your cat to its veterinarian to get treated for tapeworm. This is much easier to do if your cat uses a litter tray. Examine the feces for the presence of worms. Sometimes these are visible on the surface of the stool, but more likely you will need to put on plastic gloves and use a disposable tool to break the pellet open and look for worms inside.  Tapeworms are a creamy white color, flat, and segmented. They average around 4 to 28 inches in length.   Dipylidium caninum: The cat can get this type of tapeworm by eating fleas infected with tapeworm eggs.   Taenia taeniaeformis: Cats can get this type of tapeworm when they hunt, catch and eat rodents infected with this kind of tapeworm. Roundworms are very common and look like spaghetti or noodles. On average they are two to four inches long, but can grow up to five inches in length. There are two different kinds of roundworms, both of which can be picked up in different ways:   Toxocara cati: These worms can be picked up via the mother's milk, and most kittens are infected at birth. These are commonly responsible for pot-bellied kittens, and cause vomiting and diarrhea.  Toxascaris leonine: These roundworms are acquired from contact with infected cat or rodent feces. The worm is sometimes vomited up whole, or passed out in the stool. Hookworms are small (0.5 to 1 centimeter), curly worms that have a hook-like mouth. They are very hard to see with the naked eye.

Article in English: If you sweat a lot, it's very important to wear fabrics that breathe. This will help prevent heat from getting trapped by your clothing and causing you to sweat more.  Loose-fitting clothing is also a better choice than tight clothing, as it allows for better air circulation. You can also try using sweat shields under your clothing to prevent sweat stains. There are lots of different deodorants on the market, so try a few different brands to see if one works better for you. If regular deodorant is not strong enough for you, you may need to ask your doctor about a prescription strength option.  There are also several over-the-counter options that bill themselves as "prescription strength" or "clinical strength." You can prevent yourself from sweating by keeping yourself nice and cool, especially at times when you are likely to become anxious. If possible, seek out air conditioned areas or bring a fan with you. For example, if you're going on a first date and you're worried about sweating, scope out restaurants ahead of time and choose one that has strong air conditioning. Many people unwittingly assume postures that increase their body heat when they begin to feel nervous. If you have a problem with anxiety sweating, you should pay careful attention to your hands and your face when you feel anxious, making sure that you are giving your skin as much room to breathe as possible to avoid creating more heat. Common reactions to anxiety that can create more body heat include making a tight fist, putting your hands in your pockets, and covering your face with your hands. People who are overweight have a higher than average core temperature, which means they are more likely to begin sweating when they become nervous. Maintaining a healthy body weight can help lower your body temperature so that you will sweat less easily. Stimulants like caffeine can wreak havoc on your nervous system, so it's best to eliminate them if you suffer from anxiety. When you do, you may notice that your nervous system is less reactive to...

Article in English: If you take a little time when you’re putting the pizza away, you’ll end up with fresher-tasting leftovers, and the texture will be much more similar to the way it was originally. Start by putting a layer of paper towels or parchment paper on the bottom of a plate or a container that’s big enough to hold 1 or 2 slices of your pizza.  While it can be tempting to throw the whole box of pizza straight into the refrigerator, it can make your pizza soggy. The moisture from the tomato sauce, veggies, and meat will soak into the crust, making it hard to get the perfect texture no matter how you reheat the pizza. If you know in advance you’re planning to freeze the pizza, it’s better to use an airtight container, rather than a plate. Place your pizza in a single layer on top of the plate, then add another layer of paper towels. If you have more pizza than you can fit in a single layer, continue alternating pizza and paper towels until you’ve stacked all of the slices. If you need to, divide the pizza onto more than 1 plate or container. Keeping the pizza in the refrigerator will keep it from spoiling for up to 5 days, and it won’t alter the texture of the pizza as much as freezing will. However, it won’t last there indefinitely, so you should only keep the pizza in the fridge if you plan to eat or freeze it within a few days. If you haven’t eaten the pizza by the 3rd day, throw it out or freeze it.

Article in English: If you tap them sharply and they don't close, discard them; they're not safe to eat. Set them aside while working on your meat and veggies. If you're new to bivalve cleaning, scrub the outside of the shells. Then, using a knife, open the scallop shells and extract the meat. Remove the beard and the frilly outer membrane from each scallop muscle. The "beard" is an affection name for the byssal threads that attach the scallop to its shell. It'll be much easier to get into a rhythm and avoid cooking in a frenzy if all your ingredients are ready for cooking. Grab out your cutting boards, knives, and bowls.  For the meat, dice the pork, cut the chicken into chunks, and peel and devein the shrimp. The chorizo needs to be cooked beforehand. Brown your chorizo over high heat for 1-2 minutes. Do not fully cook; just get the outside well browned. Set aside (you may use the olive oil from the chorizo for the pork and vegetables).  Cut the bell peppers into strips and the tomato, skinned and chopped. Both should be seeded. Mince the garlic and chop the onion into very fine pieces.

Article in English: If you think an injured person has a bone fracture (or dislocated joint), you should not move it in order to assess or treat it. Instead, you should continue with your basic first-aid treatment while the broken bone is in the position you found it or a more comfortable position chosen by the injured person. Without emergency medical training, moving a broken bone is just too risky.  Discourage the injured person from moving around too much. Slightly changing position for comfort is fine, but trying to get up (especially if he is in shock) risks further injury. Supporting the injured body part for comfort or to stop the person from moving it is fine. Use a pillow, cushion or rolled up jacket or towel. There's not much you can do to stop the internal bleeding that invariably occurs with a closed fracture, but stopping or slowing down the bleeding from an open fracture is necessary and can be life saving. Apply pressure to the open wound with a sterile bandage, clean cloth or a clean piece of clothing until it stops bleeding and starts to clot — it can take up to five minutes or more, depending on the wound and which blood vessels are damaged.  Protect yourself and the patient from blood-borne disease by wearing gloves. Coming into contact with the injured person's blood puts you at risk for disease like hepatitis, HIV, and other viral infections. Even if the fracture is closed, there may be surrounding cuts and abrasions that are bleeding and need attention. For an open fracture, once the bleeding is under control, cover the wound with a sterile dressing or something clean (to help prevent infection and debris getting in there) and secure it with a bandage. Do not remove the bandage or cloth you used to stop the bleeding — simply lay the new dressing over the old. You can lightly rinse the wound with water to remove any dirt or debris, but don't vigorously scrub it because it will make it bleed more. Never try to realign a broken bone or push it back into the body if it's sticking out. Instead, immobilize...

Article in English: If you think the recipient is likely to take what you say the wrong way, you should soften your words by leading with something that sounds like an apology, such as "with all due respect" or "I'm not saying this to make you angry." The danger with this approach is that your intended apology will probably not be seen as sincere once the recipient hears the insulting part of it, and claiming you are not trying to make the person mad may actually anger him or her. With this style of insult, you start off by saying something that sounds either neutral or positive, and then turn it into something demeaning to the recipient. This style is often used by comedians in their nightclub routines.  Groucho Marx was a master of this style of insult, with lines such as "I never forget a face, but in your case, I'll be glad to make an exception" and "I've had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it."  If you decide to use this style of insult, pause shortly after your opening before you deliver your insulting follow-up, unless your insult is short, such as “I worship the ground that awaits you.” Sometimes, you’re just too mad or too tired to preface your insult with either a pseudo-apology or an innocuous opening. In that case, just hit the recipient with your insult.  Ad hominem insults, or insults against the recipient as a person, are commonly delivered this way. They normally feature name-calling (“You idiot!”), but may also feature profanity or curt instructions as to where the recipient can go. Acts of incompetence can also be insulted this way, as in "Your cooking stinks." This style works particularly well with made-up insult words, such as comedian Don Rickles' famous "hockey puck." (Rickles' insults are delivered in an exaggerated "in-your-face" style that earned him the nickname "Merchant of Venom.")

Article in English: If you think you have syphilis, then you will need to seek a diagnosis and medical treatment. Syphilis has multiple stages with different types of symptoms. These symptoms may come and go, but it doesn’t mean the disease is gone unless you have been treated. In the later stages, you may have no symptoms of syphilis itself but instead suffer from severe effects such as brain, liver, nerve, and bone damage.  Early symptoms of syphilis  include:  A chancre, which is a small sore that appears near your mouth, anus, penis, or vagina. This is typically associated with swollen lymph nodes in the groin area. A rash that starts on your torso and then spreads to the rest of your body, including palms and soles which is indicative of the secondary stage of syphilis Warts around the mouth and/or genitals. Muscle aches Fever Sore throat Swollen lymph nodes In the latent or later stages of syphilis, the early symptoms disappear. Without treatment you can continue to carry syphilis for years. 10 to 30 years after the initial infection you may develop late stage syphilis. This can cause severe symptoms, including:  Difficulty coordinating your muscle movements Paralysis Numbness, Blindness Dementia Organ damage that can lead to death A variety of tests can be used to detect syphilis and the stage of its progression. These can range from examination of the sores’ fluid to spinal fluid examination and echocardiograms. Most commonly, a quick and cheap blood test is sufficient to diagnose syphilis.  Blood tests are used to confirm antibodies your body makes to fight the illness.  Testing fluid scraped from sores will show the presence of the bacteria, but can only be done when sores are present.  Spinal fluid tests should be used when you think you may have cerebral forms of this disease. Certain antibiotics can be dangerous to the developing baby if used during pregnancy. Penicillin is typically used to treat syphilis in pregnant women. Penicillin G is the only known means by which to prevent transmission of syphilis to the...

Article in English: If you think you may have come into contact with the virus, you must wash your hands thoroughly to avoid the spread of infection. To wash your hands to avoid contamination, use soap and hot water. Alcohol hand sanitizer is generally considered ineffective against this particular kind of virus. You should wash your hands if:  You have come into contact with someone who has norovirus. Before and after you interact with someone with norovirus. If you visit a hospital, even if you don’t think you interacted with anyone with norovirus. After going to the bathroom. Before and after eating. If you are a nurse or doctor, wash your hands before and after coming into contact with an infected patient, even if you wear gloves. If you have been infected and are sick, do not handle any food or cook for others in your family. If you do, they are almost certain to get the infection too.  Don't cook for anyone else for 2 to 3 days after you feel better. If a family member is contaminated, do not let them cook for anyone else. Try to limit the amount of time healthy family members spend with the sick family member. Wash all food items such as meats, fruits and vegetables thoroughly before consumption or for use in cooking. This is important as norovirus has the tendency to survive even at temperatures well above 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius). Remember to carefully wash any vegetables or fruit, before consuming them, whether you prefer them fresh or cooked. Seafood and shellfish should be cooked thoroughly before eating it. Quick steaming your food will generally not kill the virus, as it can survive the steaming process. Instead, bake or boil your food at temperatures higher than 140 F (60 C) if you are concerned about its origins. If you suspect any kind of food of being contaminated, you should dispose of it immediately. For instance, if a contaminated family member handled the food, you should either throw the food out or isolate it and make sure that only the person who already has the virus eats it.

Article in English: If you thought cramming was a good idea, you're in for a surprise. Depriving your brain of sleep keeps it from firing on all cylinders. You'd be much better off closing the book and getting some shut eye.  Try to get at least 8 full hours of sleep on the night before a test.  If you feel too nervous to sleep, try doing something relaxing before you go to bed (like taking a bath or listening to music).  If you still can't sleep, doing something to take your mind of the test, like reading a book for fun. If you're starving, you won’t be able to concentrate. Be sure to eat breakfast to start your day off, and get something to eat later in the day, too.  Try to eat something with protein and some carbs for long-lasting energy. Granola and yogurt or toast and an omelette would be good choices.  If your test is later in the day, make sure to eat something healthy at lunchtime too, like a sandwich or salad.  If your test falls between mealtimes and you think you might get hungry during it, try having a little snack. For example, you could try nibbling on some mixed nuts before the test. Ask your teacher ahead of time what you’ll need for the test, and have everything laid out the night before. This could include things like pens, pencils, a calculator, notes, etc. If you have flash cards or other quick study materials, have those ready, too. That way if you wind up with 5 or 10 minutes of downtime, you can whip them out and go over them on the bus, between classes, or when waiting for a friend.

Article in English: If you timed the planting right, the seedlings should have a set of mature leaves and be ready to transplant in time for the growing season, which starts after the last frost of the year. This falls in a different month depending on where you live. If you're unsure when the last frost might take place, ask for advice at your local nursery. A few days before you're ready to plant the seedlings, move them to an outdoor shed or garage. Start by giving them an hour outside a day, and increase the amount of time over a week or two. This helps them get used to the outdoor climate before you place them directly in the ground. Without this extra time to acclimate, the shock of the transplant may cause them to suffer.  If you don't have a covered outdoor area, you can place the seedlings outside and construct a makeshift shelter. Leave them in the sun during the day, and cover them with a cardboard box to protect them from the wind at night. You could also match the temperature in the room where the seedlings are kept to the temperature outside. The planting bed should be located in an area that gets the proper amount of sunlight and shade your plant needs. The soil should have the correct pH balance and composition of nutrients. Be sure that it drains well, too. You can change the pH of the soil by adding amendments like compost or manure. If you are doing this, you should prepare the bed a week or two before planting. Dig holes in the ground that are roughly the size of your seedling containers. Make sure the holes are spaced far enough apart so that the plants have plenty of room to grow. Carefully lift the seedlings from their containers, gently separate the root balls a bit, and plant them in the holes. As they grow, continue providing the correct conditions for the plants to grow healthy.

Article in English: If you took an online personality assessment, one of the factors you may have been assessed on was introversion-extraversion. These are terms used by Carl Jung which describe where you get your energy from in life - either the internal or external world.   Introvert describes a person who gets energy from examining an inner world of thoughts, ideas, memories, and reactions. These people enjoy solitude and may prefer to spend time with one or two people with whom they share a connection. They may be reflective or reserved. Extrovert describes a person who gets energy from interacting in the external world. They enjoy being involved in a variety of activities and engaging with all sorts of people. They get excited when they are around others. They may take action before thinking a decision all the way through. Many popular interpretations describe introverts as being shy and withdrawn, while extroverts are said to be sociable and outgoing. These interpretations are faulty as most researchers have come to understand these traits as existing on a spectrum. No one is 100% introvert or extrovert, but rather leans on one or the other under certain circumstances. Knowing who you are also encompasses knowing your expectations, feelings, and actions relating to friendship. Reflect on your past friendships. Do you like to talk to your friends every day or every blue moon? Do you often organize get-togethers or are you just the person who gets invited? Do you value spending quality time with friends? Do you share intimate details about yourself with your friends or are you very guarded with what you share? Do you uplift/encourage your friends when they are feeling down? Do you drop everything for a friend in need? Do you place reasonable demands on friendships (i.e. don't expect your friends to always be available or only be friends with you)? Once you've asked yourself these question, decide if you are content with the kind of friend you are. If not, talk to your closest friends and see if they have advice on how you...

Article in English: If you tried to rekindle the relationship without success, you have, in a way, experienced 2 breakups. Give yourself permission to feel sadness, anger, and frustration. It might be painful, but things will get better in time. It’s okay to take some time to cry and wallow. Expressing your grief is part of the healing process, so let it happen. It might take weeks or months but, little by little, you’ll begin to move forward. Venting your emotions to your loved ones can help you recover. Call a loved one to get your feelings off of your chest, or hang out with friends and family to get your mind off of things. Call a loved one and say, “I’m having a hard time getting over Jane. I really thought we could work it out, and I don’t see why she won’t try to fix things. Do you have time to meet up or come over? I could really use a friend right now.” Exercise is a key part of self-care, and it’s important to keep up your physical and mental health during the grieving process. Additionally, exercise releases hormones that help improve your mood, and it might help you vent emotions like sadness or anger. Go for a run or bike ride after work or school, swim laps, or join a gym. Group exercise programs and yoga or martial arts classes are also great ways to stay social. If you tried without success to patch things up, continuing to hold onto hope will just worsen the pain. As difficult as it is, acknowledge that the relationship is over and that it’s time to move on with your life. It’s perfectly normal to still love your ex, even if you have to accept that she doesn’t want to be with you. Do your best to maintain a positive mindset and wish her happiness, even if it’s not with you. You’ve gone through one of the hardest breakup situations out there. Think to yourself, “Well, if I can get through this, I can get through anything.” With each passing week, you’ll feel a little better, and the experience will make you a stronger person and better partner in future relationships.

Article in English: If you try to talk with the other person while either of you is still angry, neither of you will be receptive to listening.  There is an adage of: “Never go to bed angry” which has some wisdom to it. Waiting too long will often make anger fester, and make you sleep poorly and less able to be in a good frame of mind the next day. This in turn can lead to more arguing. However, not every argument will be settled by bedtime. Depending on the depth of the argument, the complexity, or simple logistics, you may not be able to make up immediately. But do not put it off. It is perfectly normal to feel upset with the other person after an argument, and it can feel natural to want to hurt them in some way, such as lashing out with snide or sarcastic comments or pointing out their failures. These actions aren’t constructive, however, and should be avoided when you approach the other person to make up. How you felt about whatever caused the argument between you is different than the actual issue (or issues) that may have initiated the argument. Keeping them separate in your mind will allow you to be honest about your emotions and still have a productive conversation about what happened. Don’t discount feelings by saying things like “You shouldn’t have felt that way” or “That’s not right.” Accept that the other person did feel the way that they did. As you prepare to approach the other person to make up, don’t assume that you know how the argument made them feel. Try to go into the situation without preconceived ideas of what the other person thought or felt, and don’t “read in between the lines” of what they tell you. If you’re still upset about the argument, or you feel like you have some very emotional things to say to the other person, try writing them down first. You won’t share this with the other person: the point is to explore your own feelings and try to clarify them before sharing them with someone else. Try to avoid approaching the other person to make up when they’re experiencing a lot of stress or heightened...

Article in English: If you used the rubber band trick described above, it may seem like you need to take the rubber band off of the green note as soon as the intro is over. This isn't actually true — in Guitar hero, if you're playing a single note, you can have any notes "under" it (further down the fret) held down and you'll still hit the note. Because there aren't any chords (two notes or more at once) until just before the lyrics start, you can actually leave the rubber band on until then and it won't affect your playing. This is handy because it keeps you from missing notes by taking a second to move the rubber band out of the way during the early parts of the song, which are packed with notes. After the first chord, there's a brief pause in the guitar part, so you'll have a second to get rid of the rubber band safely. Throughout the song, there are numerous parts where a single note must be played very rapidly for a second or two. The best way to tackle these parts is not to wildly strum as fast as you can — this can actually cause you to lose points and break your streak by playing too many notes. Instead, you'll want to use a quick but very steady rhythm. Since there are so many notes packed into these sections, using a strumming tempo that's not steady can cause you to miss dozens of notes. For sections like the "Post Insanity" section right after the intro where this fast rhythm alternates between multiple notes, concentrate on keeping your strumming steady and just move your fretting fingers when you need to switch notes. Once you get your strumming under control, these sections actually aren't that hard. Having a reserve of star power to fall back on during this song can make the difference between victory and failure. Because of this, you'll want to make sure that you take every opportunity to build up star power that you can get. Missing an easy star power section is not an option in this song! Below are a few of the less-difficult sections near the beginning of the song where you can earn star power — if you can...

Article in English: If you visiting or staying with relatives who annoy you, plan to stay only for a short time, whether it's for dinner, or the weekend.  If asked for dinner, set aside two to three hours maximum. One and a half hours for lunch is sufficient.  If asked for a visit on the weekend, set aside three hours maximum, and try to plan an actual activity, so that you have something to do together. Getting worked up ahead of time can ruin any chance you have of successfully making it through the visit without becoming upset or agitated, and it can ruin your chances at making good choices because of stress. A little stress can help you be more aware, but too much will wreck you. Being able to calm yourself will help you respond appropriately, and you might even surprise yourself. Being a good guest means respecting your hosts’ hours and habits, and following the rules of the house, and even to a degree offsetting the cost of your visit in thoughtful ways.  Discuss your plans and free time, so that you know ahead of time what you will need to schedule, rent, and so on.  Don’t take over public spaces, spread out everywhere, or take over the bathroom or kitchen. Don’t talk on the phone loudly or listen to music in public spaces. Go outside or into a bedroom, or use your headphones. Do clean up after yourself in the bathroom and in the kitchen. If you can, offer to clean up after others too, including putting away dishes, taking out the trash, etc.  Do offer to run errands, pick up groceries, or take-out, to keep things running smoothly and to replace what you consume.  Leave them with a nice hosting gift, and definitely hand write a thank you note after your departure.

Планируйте короткие визиты. Сохраняйте спокойствие. Будьте примерным гостем.


Article in English: If you wait during a conversation and listen to the different participants, before you jump into the fray, you'll appear more clever, simply because you've had more time to listen to different opinions and sides and evaluate these opinions before giving your own.  For example: say you're conversation with your cousin Bob, your aunt Milly, and your sister, Sarah, about the best way to baste a turkey. Let the other three hash it out for a bit while you listen, and evaluate the effectiveness of each side of the argument. Then, slip in your own idea for basting the turkey, once the argument is winding down. Make sure that it's different than the other three; if you do agree with one of the others, possibly Aunt Milly, offer up a more convincing argument than she has, or give a reason for that option that the others might not have considered. This is also a great way to avoid looking the opposite of clever, by not just opening your mouth first and saying whatever comes into your head. Often the person who speaks last is less likely to simply point out the obvious, or regurgitate facts. Instead they usually come up with something more creative, or more original, which people are more likely to remember. These are the types of facts that you can whip out during an argument that support whatever claim you're making. Chances are you're not going to be able to have facts for every single argument you might potentially get into, so pick the ones that are most important to you.  For example: if you're really passionate about global climate change, you might make sure to have statistics memorized that look at the difference between weather and climate, that show what has changed so swiftly in the past few years (and how that is linked to things like carbon dioxide), and how this is different than the slower, more long-term climate change that happens without the help of human practices. It's really good to gather some facts (real facts) for things that everyone assumes are true. Blowing assumptions out of the water can...

Article in English: If you wait until the day your homework is due to start working on it, you're going to feel stressed and you may not have enough time to finish. This is especially true for big projects like science projects or book reports. Use the mornings to finish up short worksheets or other homework that doesn't take very long. Stretching helps boost your circulation and can help you feel more alert, which will help you do better on your homework. Taking deep breaths increases the oxygen flow to your brain, which can help you wake up faster. When you first wake up, take the deepest breath you can and exhale slowly. Repeat this several times, then try some easy yoga stretches or just bend down and touch your toes. Drinking a big glass of ice-cold water can trigger your body to produce adrenaline and can boost blood flow to your brain. That increased blood flow might give you the edge you need to get your homework done on time. You should never do your homework in bed, because it decreases productivity. It can also lead to problems going to sleep later on. Sitting at a desk or a table will help you feel more focused on your homework. Students are able to focus better on simple, logic-based problems first thing in the morning, as opposed to abstract thought, which can lead to daydreaming. Doing your math, science, or vocabulary homework first will help you to focus. Leave your creative work, like essay questions, for last. If you start to get sleepy while you're doing your homework first thing in the morning, try moving around. Do a few jumping jacks or jog in place to get your blood flowing. This will help you feel more awake. If you still need help staying alert, use essential oils in bright scents like peppermint and citrus. You can apply them directly to your skin on pulse points like your wrists or temples, or you can put them in an oil warmer on your desk. These are known to help you feel more awake. Make sure you finish your homework with enough time to shower, brush your teeth, pack up your books, and get dressed...

Article in English: If you wait until the last minute to begin your essay, you will likely feel more stress and the pressure to write in a short amount of time might cause you to become stuck. You also want to give yourself time to revise, so getting started early will help with the entire process. The best way to write is to write. Just start putting words on the page, and give yourself a writing goal for your work time.  Giving yourself a time goal (like 2 hours of writing) is often more helpful than a product goal (like 2 pages or 400 words). Many people use the “Pomodoro technique” to write, which is to focus with no distractions for 25 minutes, then take a 5 minute break. Sometimes trying to get one sentence or section “perfect” can prevent you from continuing to write.   If you find yourself getting stuck on a particular sentence, write a “placeholder” sentence and move on. A placeholder sentence may look like this: [Something about how much I like puppies.] You may want to mark any placeholder sentences with brackets or by highlighting it in the word processing program (or on paper if you’re writing a draft by hand). When you have finished your first draft, go back to any areas or sentences that you skipped and try to write them now. It will be easier to revise your essay if these sections have already been filled in.

Article in English: If you wake up feeling like you need to throw up, let yourself vomit. It may be that you body consumed something that it needs to expel, so listen to the way your body feels and do what is best for your body. It is never pleasant to vomit, but in the end, your stomach will likely feel better. Holding it in can damage your esophagus because the stomach acid is just sitting in your throat. One reason you may have a morning stomach ache is because you are anxious about something. If you know you are worrying too much about something, try to calm yourself. Anxiety often causes nausea and stomach aches, so relieving your own anxiety can often make the harsh feeling of your stomach in knots go away. Try to acknowledge the anxiety and let go of whatever is bothering you. Try meditating or even breathing. This can help your muscles relax and make you feel better overall. You may wake up with a stomach ache because of muscle tightness all over your body. This can happen due to a strange sleeping position or over exertion the day before. To alleviate this, lie flat on your stomach on a flat, solid surface. Push your arms up, lifting just your upper body and arching your back toward the ceiling. This will stretch out your back and release the muscles in your abdomen as well. To exercise your neck, tip your head forward and touch your chin to your chest, holding for 10-15 seconds. Next, tip your head to either side and hold your ear toward your shoulder, holding for 10-15 seconds. Repeat on the other side. You can use a hot water bottle or a heating pad to help alleviate the pain in your stomach. Lie flat on your back and lay the bottle or pad across your stomach. The heat will increase the blood flow to the skin surface. This helps lower the feelings of pain from underneath the abdomen. They also make heat patches that may work. You can buy them at your local pharmacy or general store. There is a method called reflexology that uses the nerves in the body to help relax other areas of the body. In this practice, the...

Article in English: If you want a flatter stomach, you need to reduce your body fat, and you do that by burning more calories than you consume.  Reducing your calorie intake will cause your body to turn to its internal fuel reserve — the fat you are seeking to eliminate.  In basic terms, one pound of fat equals roughly 3,500 calories.  This means, generally speaking, that you need to burn 500 more calories per day than you consume in order to lose a pound a week, which is considered a healthy weight reduction rate. When you’re trying to reduce your calorie intake, it’s important to make each calorie count by choosing low-calorie, high-nutrition foods like vegetables, fruits, and lean proteins.  The tables available through the Mayo Clinic provide examples of how making some relatively simple food “swaps” and portion alterations can help significantly reduce your calorie intake. Fruits, vegetables, beans and legumes, and whole grains not only offer an array of nutrients, they are also high-fiber foods that can help your weight-loss regimen in several ways. The recommended daily intake for fiber depends on your age and sex; refer to this table to figure out how much fiber you need.    Some people associate fiber with bloating and therefore advise against it when seeking a flatter tummy.  In reality, though, fiber helps flush out your system, which can help reduce a bloated appearance. Fiber does, however, provide a more lasting feeling of fullness, which can help you reduce your daily calorie intake. Lean proteins like fish, poultry, and low-fat dairy products offer beneficial nutrients without excess calories or unhealthy fats.  They can also help supply you with the energy you’ll need to keep up an active exercise regimen, which is also an important component of achieving a flat stomach.  Packed with protein and low in carbohydrates and overall calories, eggs can make an excellent breakfast option to help jump-start your day. There is also evidence that dairy proteins help increase satiety (your feeling of fullness), which may...

Article in English: If you want a happy-go-lucky, physically fit, educated man, you should work on being a happy-go-lucky, physically fit, educated woman. You need to become the type of person you want to attract, first and foremost. Birds of a feather flock together, so be the kind of person you want to flock with!  Not only will this attract the right kind of men, but working on yourself will also increase your self-confidence. A good rule of thumb is to sporadically “check yourself,” and decide if you would want a man who is doing what you’re doing. In other words, if you’re lying on the couch eating Twinkies and feeling sorry for yourself, decide if you want a man lying on his couch doing the same thing. You’d probably rather have a man who is out, doing something he loves, and feeling great. If you act like you deserve a great man, you will attract great men. This does not mean that you should turn up your nose at every man who you deem unworthy, but rather be picky about who you accept on a romantic level. Be kind, and carry yourself with self-assurance and poise. If you don’t act like you deserve a better man, you probably won’t get one. If you carry yourself like the prize that you are, you will be seen as a prize. The best kind of men will be willing to work for you. Take care of yourself, practice self-love daily, and pamper yourself when you have no one else doing it for you. By taking care of yourself, you’re ensuring that you feel great. When you feel great, you’ll ooze a self-confidence and love that is irresistible to good men. If you are investing in yourself, you’ll attract men that want to invest in you as well. Imagine falling in love with a man, only to find out a couple months later that he is not the man he pretended to be. It’s not fun, is it? When you want to attract an authentic man, you need to be authentic yourself. Don’t pretend to be a person that you aren’t, because you won’t be able to keep it up forever. By showing your true colors you’ll also immediately weed out the men who wouldn’t be...

Article in English: If you want a longer fringe or bangs, comb out a section from the top of your hair before starting on the larger haircut. If you don't want bangs, move to the next step.  How you cut your bangs will depend on the style of your pixie cut. For wispy bangs that blend with your pixie cut, cut into your fringe at a 75-degree angle while moving diagonally across your face. For more blunt bangs, cut straight across from ear to ear, moving across your hair in small sections as you go.  Put your fingers near the bottom of how long you want your crop to be, and cut there.  You want to cut a straight, even line as you do so. Take as much off as you want to achieve the desired length. Using the previously cut section as a guide, pull a small amount of hair into parallel to the first cut section, and cut accordingly. Continue taking parallel sections, using a small piece of the last cut section as a guide. Refine the edges when you are done so that it is even and balanced.

Article in English: If you want a more authentic ginger flavor, you can rely on this recipe instead. Making it at home allows you to adjust the strength to suit your taste. Start with about 2 tbsp (30mL) for a 10-oz (300mL) glass. You can find this ingredient at health food stores, upper end grocery stores, or online. For a fresher taste, make your own:  Heat 1 cup (240mL) water and 1¼ cups (240g) sugar, stirring until dissolved. Add ½ cup (120mL) grated or thinly sliced, raw ginger. Simmer for 15 minutes. Let cool, then add 2 tbsp (30mL) lemon juice. Plain seltzer (fizzy water) is best. You may use lemon-lime soda, cream soda, or other sodas. Sodas add a large amount of sugar and can overpower the ginger taste. This alcoholic ingredient will add complex herbal flavors. Try it if you happen to have it on hand, but don't bother buying it if you don't make cocktails at home. Give it a stir until all the ginger syrup has dissolved. Add ice or drink it straight.

Article in English: If you want a simple, inexpensive camera with a low learning curve, consider a point and shoot digital camera. These have a viewfinder that's simply a "window" through the camera, rather than an exact image of what the camera will photograph, and may have fewer settings to alter. The picture quality will likely be worse because of this, but there is a wide range of quality in point and shoot cameras, so do not rule them out before you investigate. An SLR digital camera (sometimes referred to as DSLR) provides you with much more creative control. Most of these have both automatic and manual adjustment for lighting and focusing. If you want additional control over the technical aspects of photography, or if you enjoy playing around with color settings and flash, look for digital SLR cameras. Be aware that these are almost always more expensive than point and shoot cameras. SLR stands for "single-lens reflex" and describes the mirror and prism system that sends an accurate image to the viewfinder. Nowadays, most digital cameras of this type have an electronic display, but they are still referred to as SLR or DSLR cameras. Remember that sometimes an inexpensive camera will satisfy your needs better than a more expensive one. Similarly, brand names are sometimes associated with higher quality, but that does not mean a less well known brand won't satisfy you. Judge cameras based on their qualities, not on the hype of a price tag or advertisement. Before you get carried away with the extra features and higher quality of a fancy camera, keep in mind that you'll have to carry the camera away as well. Generally speaking, a small camera is lower quality than a larger one, but the sacrifice may be worth it if you plan to carry the camera on a whirlwind tour of Europe. Consider the case it comes with as well, and how much protection it provides. You may wish to purchase a higher quality case if you are going to be traveling. Soft camera cases are portable and easy to store, while hard camera cases provide better...

Article in English: If you want an advanced, in-depth list of all of the hardware that your computer uses, you can use Device Manager. This is useful when attempting to find out what type of proprietary hardware your computer uses. Either right-click the Start icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen or press ⊞ Win+X. You should see a pop-up menu appear on the left side of the screen. It's in the pop-up menu. Doing so opens the Device Manager window. Scroll through the different categories of hardware until you find one that you want to open.  For example, if you wanted to find out more about your computer's processor, you would double-click the Processors heading. Depending on who built your computer, what you see in Device Manager may vary slightly. Double-click the hardware category, or click the "expand" icon to the left of the category. You should see at least one indented item appear below the category heading. If you see a list of indented options below the hardware category, the category is already expanded. Depending on your selected category, you may see anywhere from one hardware item to upward of 10; double-click an item to view its properties. Make sure you don't uninstall or disable anything in Device Manager without explicit instruction on how to do so, as accidental uninstallation can cause your computer to stop working.

Article in English: If you want attentive feedback, the best person to give it is someone you know, preferably a friend or a colleague. When emailing someone you know for feedback, make sure you email them how you usually would. If you'd usually call them, then you should probably do that instead. Don't send the manuscript in the first email, unless you know they are likely to say yes (someone for whom you've read a manuscript, or someone who's offered to read yours). You can include a brief description or an abstract, depending on whether the person you're emailing is a friend or a colleague. If you really do need expert advice, send an email to an expert you know of and explain your project and why you need feedback. Don't be pushy, but rather kindly thank them for their consideration, and say, "I understand if you don't have time to give me feedback." You may even want to ask if they know anyone with the time and expertise who can help you if they can't. This will likely go unanswered, unless you specifically tell them you will pay for their help. If they are a famous author, they are unlikely to respond to such an email as they receive a ton of such emails. Instead, ask your friends, colleagues, professors, etc., first. They are more likely to be able to help you, and more likely to want to help you. If you only want positive feedback, tell them so. Tell them whether you detailed feedback, local or global feedback, and whether you want aesthetic, grammatical, or structural feedback. This can go a long way in helping your reader know what you want from them.  Positive feedback need not be un-constructive. If they explain why they like what they like, you can learn a lot about your manuscript.  If you get negative feedback, give yourself time to respond. If they are your friend, they likely only want to help. If they are a professor, no matter how angry or upset you feel, you should not respond in that manner. Instead, thank them for their help, and move on. After some time you may find that the feedback was helpful, even if...

Article in English: If you want extra power, try adding other ingredients - some people like a bit of mint or some apple cider vinegar for whitening, although results may vary. If you want to try out different oils to see what works best for you and yields the best results, get as many as you'd like and to try to use a different one each morning for a full week. Keep a fully stocked kitchen with a variety of organic oils and experiment with their benefits and uses. Organic virgin oils like coconut oil aren't always the cheapest thing at the market, but they're incredibly versatile: you can use coconut oil to make your own toothpaste, massage oil, in your hair, and in your next stir-fry. Some people are turned off by the concept of making a mouthful of cooking oil the first taste of the morning, but it is important to do before you clean your mouth or consume anything, so make it easy on yourself. Consider measuring out the oil before you go to sleep and leaving it by your bedside, or set out on the bathroom counter top so that you don't have to think about it. Put it in your mouth and start swishing. If you usually keep your toothbrush on the counter, put it away and put a tiny glass of oil in its place. It'll become a habit in no time. If you typically do some calisthenics or light stretching in the morning before breakfast, make oil pulling part of the regimen. Wake up your body and get your day started right. The more you make it part of some routine, the easier it will be to make oil pulling a regular thing in your life. Whatever you typically do in the morning, add oil pulling to the routine. Look over the newspaper briefly while swishing the oil, or read your favorite blog.

Article in English: If you want her to really start trusting you, then you should confide in her. Tell her about what’s on your mind, what your fears are, what your childhood was like, what drama you’re having with your friends, or really anything else you’ve been thinking about. If you open up to her, then she’ll see that she has more reason to trust you, because you’re willing to open up to her. You don’t need to freak her out by revealing incredibly person details when you’re just getting to know each other, but the more time you spend with her, the more you should open up.  If you talk to her about the things that really matter to you, then she’ll see that you really do think she’s special and that you like her. The more you confide in her, the more she’ll be comfortable confiding to you back. That said, she may not be comfortable confiding at the same pace, so don’t put pressure on her to reveal more to you than she’s ready for. If you tell her things you’ve never told anyone, then she’ll really see that she means a lot to you. Of course, you should only do this if you want to. If you really want to gain her trust, then she has to see that you’re not just there for the good times. If she’s in a fight with her best friend, having a rough week at work, or just not feeling so great, then it’s up to you to be there for her. If she thinks you’re only around for the kissing and the fun dates, then she’ll see that she can’t really trust you. Show her that you’re there for the sunshine and the rain.  If you want her to see you as someone she can truly depend on, then you should support her when she’s upset. Don’t just get frustrated and act like she’s getting upset over nothing or like you’re just waiting for her to be in a better mood. If you really want a long term thing with this girl, then you have to be prepared for the fact that she won’t always be in a good mood. The same is true for you, right? Another way to gain her trust is to actually take the time to listen to her. Look her in the eyes, don’t interrupt her, and let her...

Summary in Russian:

Доверьтесь ей. Будьте рядом в тяжелые для нее минуты. Слушайте ее. Покажите заинтересованность. Приложите усилия, чтобы понравиться ее семье и друзьям. Выполняйте свои обещания.


Article in English: If you want powder foundation to last for the day, primer is key. Primer is liquid makeup you apply underneath foundation. Primer makes your foundation look more natural and helps prevent it from creasing. It can also help keep foundation on all day long. When using powder foundation, make sure to apply a layer of primer first. When applying primer, start from the inside of your face and work out. Dab a few dots of primer on your nose, under your eyes, and on your cheek and chin. Then, use your fingers to spread the primer evenly across your face. Mineral or light foundation is for light to medium coverage. If you want more coverage, go for pressed powder, which tends to go on darker. You may also choose to apply a layer of mineral foundation and target problem areas with pressed powder. To see if a foundation is a good color match for your skin, dip a q-tip into the foundation. Draw a line along your jawline area on the side of your face. If the line is invisible, this makeup is a good match. If you can see this line, you'll want to try a different shade. You may have to experiment with several different colors before you find a shade that works. Try asking someone working at a department store makeup counter to help you find a match. This way, you can try out makeup on your skin before making a purchase. You should always use a sponge or brush when applying powder foundation. Using fingers tends to make your makeup look caked on, and your fingers will provide far less precision than a solid makeup brush or sponge.

Article in English: If you want the girl to miss you when you're not together, then you can't spend too much of your free time with her. You should hang out with her enough to make her see how awesome, fun, and interesting you are, but not so much that she starts to take you for granted or feels like you've run out of things to say to each other. Make an effort to see her once or twice a week, but make sure she's not the only thing on your social calendar, or she'll begin to think that she can have you whenever she wants.  If she wants to hang out with you, she should make plans with you at least a few days in advance. You don't want it to look like you're at her beck and call.  When you do hang out with her, don't spend the entire day with her, but leave to do something else after a few hours so she really relishes the time you do spend together instead of getting too comfortable with you. This may feel a little strange, at first, but hey, it's part of playing hard to get. If you and the girl you like talk on the phone, make sure you keep your conversations relatively short so she doesn't think you have nothing better to do than to talk to her all the time. You can talk to her to set up plans or to see how she's doing for a few minutes, but you shouldn't let the conversation drag on so long that you've run out of things to say. To keep her interested, you want her feel like she can never run out of things to say to you.  Don't tell her everything that you're thinking or everything that's going on in your life over the phone. Save some of it for when you actually hang out in person. Make the time count. If you only talk to her on the phone for a few minutes, make sure you bring your A game and charm her, make her laugh, and make her feel special. Don't talk to her while also watching the Jets game; make her feel like you do value your conversations. To make a girl miss you, you can't make her feel like you're at her beck and call. If she texts you and you're busy, don't go out of your way to give her a lengthy response ASAP,...

Summary in Russian:

Ограничьте количество времени, которое вы проводите вместе. Ограничьте число ваших разговоров с девушкой по телефону. Не бросайте другие дела, чтобы поговорить с девушкой; в противном случае она будет думать, что вы у нее на побегушках. Не бросайте ваши любимые занятия (увлечения) ради того, чтобы встречаться с девушкой. Не забывайте о друзьях. Позвольте ей строить догадки.


Article in English: If you want the girl to miss you when you're not together, then you have to remind her of your presence from time to time. Send her a text to say hi or to see how her day is going, or give her a quick call to tell her about what you've been up to. You can also send her an email from work or shoot her a quick text when you're away with your friend for the weekend. Make sure you talk to her just enough that she doesn't forget about you, but that she also doesn't feel smothered by you, either.  If you're apart, make sure you're not always the one getting in touch first. You can call or text her from time to time, but you shouldn't make her take you for granted and feel like you'll always call even if she doesn't. If you know she has something important coming up, such as a job interview or a volleyball game, then check in with her to wish her luck. If it just happened, check in to see how it went. This will show her that you care and that you are paying attention, even if you're not always around. One trick to getting the girl to miss you is to make sure you're on her mind as she's getting ready for bed. You can send her a sweet text or plan your phone calls so you talk to her later in the evening, so she thinks of you as she goes to bed and maybe even dreams about you. She also may wake up thinking about the great conversation you had—and will miss you even more as a result.  Talking to her before she gets ready for bed will give you a better chance of really capturing her attention. She'll be winding down and will be able to focus on you more easily instead of talking to you while having a million other things going on at the same time. Of course, make sure it's okay for her to talk on the phone late at night—you don't want her to get in trouble with her parents. Another way to make sure that the girl misses you is to give her something that makes it so you're never far from her mind. It can be a necklace you gave her for her birthday, a letter you wrote to her, a sweatshirt that smells like you that you let...

Article in English: If you want the healthy omega-3 fats but can’t stand fish, you can simply take fish oil supplements containing omega-3s. These supplements have been shown to lower triglyceride levels in adults. EPA and DHA are the fish oils you want to maximize omega-3s. Take as directed. If you have trouble packing enough fiber into your daily routine, then you can add a psyllium supplement. Psyllium is a water-soluble form of fiber, and it is available in several forms, including pills and powders that you stir into a glass of water (such as Metamucil). Studies have shown that high-fiber diets including psyllium lead to lower levels of triglycerides. Soy protein supplementation is most commonly available in a powder form that you can mix into a variety juices, smoothies, etc. Many studies have shown that soy protein supplementation can lower triglycerides, as well as having an overall positive effect on your cholesterol levels. Take as directed. Studies have shown that whey protein can also positively affect triglyceride levels.

Article in English: If you want to be a better boyfriend to your girlfriend, then you have to work on being more of a gentleman. This doesn't mean you have to turn into Cary Grant or pick her up in a horse-drawn carriage, but it does mean that you should try to treat her with a bit more attention and respect. Open doors for her, whether she's getting into your car or walking into a restaurant. Pull out her chair before she sits down. Give her your coat if she's cold and avoid being overly vulgar in her presence. Don't worry: being a gentleman doesn't mean acting phony or over the top. Just treating your girlfriend with more care and attention will make her see that you're a true gentleman. Many boyfriends are notoriously bad at communicating their needs. If you want to be a better boyfriend, then you have to work on being able to honestly but kindly tell your girlfriend what you're feeling, how to have a conversation without getting angry, and how to learn to compromise instead of being upset when you don't get what you want. If you develop stronger communication skills, your relationship will flourish.  When your girlfriend is upset, you should work on understanding what she's really angry about and try to address her concerns; if she's mad at you for being late for a date, for example, it may mean that she's mad because she feels like you don't put enough effort into the relationship. Timing is also important if you want to have a serious conversation. If you want to have a big talk with your girlfriend, try to pick a time when she won't be too tired or distracted to have the conversation. If you want to be a better boyfriend, then you have to make yourself more available to your girlfriend. This doesn't mean you should be free 24/7 and have to bend to her will at any given moment, but it does mean that you should make enough time to keep your relationship going strong, from time to weekly date nights to time to talk on the phone or watch a movie with her. If you're never around or always prefer hanging out with your buddies...

Summary in Russian:

Будьте джентльменом. Улучшите навыки общения. Уделяйте своей девушке больше времени. Уважайте ее независимость. Будьте любезным с друзьями и родственниками своей девушки.


Article in English: If you want to be a fair teacher, then you have to make it clear that you respect the opinions of ideas of all of your students. If you only call on the same three students or dismiss the comments of a student who is struggling more than the rest, then you may develop a reputation of not being fair. If you don’t let students who are more shy or more problematic have a turn at speaking, then they’ll be discouraged from participating in your class, because they won’t feel that you’re treating them fairly.  Keep in mind that allowing a diverse range of opinions into your classroom also makes for a better learning experience for all students, even the ones who don’t contribute much. It’s not fair to let only a few of your favorite students express themselves. Practice calling on students who haven’t raised their hands and asking what they think. Though you should proceed with caution with students who are more reserved, setting this standard can make students feel more accountable in the classroom. You may think that you’re fair in the classroom, but when you take a step back, you may see that you don’t react fairly to every student. Ideally, you should be receptive to what every student has to say, pause to wait for an answer from every student, and give positive feedback and encouragement to all of your students. When you go home, ask yourself how you reacted to each student and see if there’s anything you could have done that was more fair. You can even ask another teacher to observe you to give you honest feedback. You may find that you’re spending twice as much time with some students and are neglecting others. Though some students do need more help than others, it’s only fair to give all students some of your time and attention. If you really want to be fair, then you have to learn to see the good in each and every student. You may have a student who does so poorly in the classroom that you may feel like all you can do is offer criticism, but you should work extra hard to find something to praise about that...

Summary in Russian:

Позвольте высказаться каждому ученику. Относитесь ко всем ученикам одинаково. Найдите что-то, за что можно похвалить каждого ученика. Ставьте оценки справедливо. Справедливое отношение к ученикам не всегда означает одинакового отношения к ним. Не заводите «любимчиков».


Article in English: If you want to be a good boy, then it’s important to treat other people with respect. Whether they are your parents’ friends or your dentist, it’s important to be nice and respectful to the people around you and to treat them with basic kindness. Respect their space, ask them how they’re doing, and avoid asking overly personal questions. Being respectful is an important quality of a good boy as well as a good man.  Good boys are respectful, especially of their elders. Make sure to treat people who are older than you with the utmost respect, even if you may disagree with them sometimes. When you’re in public, make sure you’re not too loud and avoid not cleaning up your mess. A restaurant or movie theatre isn’t your bedroom, and you need to be aware of the people around you. Another way to be a good boy is to be nice to your neighbors. Avoid making too much noise, accidentally getting on their property, ignoring them, or generally not treating them kindly. Your parents will want you to be nice to them to help make a good impression for your family, and being nice to them will make your living situation much easier. Even if you feel like you don’t have a lot in common with them, it’s always important to be nice. Just making polite small talk can make a big difference. When you see your neighbors, just say, “Hi, how are you?” You don’t have to get wrapped up in a long conversation with them, but take the time to acknowledge them. One of the most important parts of being a good boy is treating girls with the kindness and respect they deserve. Be nice to them, make an effort to get to know them, and only tease them if you’re both being playful. Don’t ever make demeaning or nasty comments to a girl or make her feel bad about her looks or who she is. Even if the other boys around you aren’t mature enough to be nice to girls yet, it’s important that you break this mold and make an effort to treat them with care and kindness.  When you see a girl, be friendly and ask how she’s doing. You can even compliment her new...

Article in English: If you want to be an effective communicator, and ensure that people listen to what you have to say, it’s important to understand who you are talking to. If you are trying to engage people on a subject completely alien to them, it’s going to be a difficult task. Ask yourself the following questions about your audience:   Who are they, and what do they do? How can the audience benefit from listening to you? What do they already know about the topic? What is the relationship between you and the audience? What are your audience interested in? What impact will what you say have on the audience? Asking the audience simple questions will help you to answer these questions. For example, if you are talking about a recent report, you could ask “how many of you have had time to read the new report yet?” Being a good listener is an essential part of being a good communicator. Whether it is a serious conversation with a significant other, or a business discussion with some colleagues, making the effort to listen and understand the concerns of other people will really help. If you feel like the person you are talking to is not properly responding to you, stop for a moment and just listen. Maintain eye contact when the other person is speaking, and try to concentrate and empathise. Try to practice active listening by following these basic rules:  Try to understand before you try to be understood. Be non-judgemental. Give the speaker your undivided attention. Use silence effectively, and don’t interrupt unless necessary. If you want to get people to listen to you and take your ideas on board, it can be very helpful to try and find some common ground with your interlocutors. Your audience may be more receptive to what you have to say if you can frame it in a way that is more inclusive and connects directly with their concerns.  For example, if you are explaining a problem you have had, you could try and introduce it by relating it to something that happened to the person you are talking to. You may be more likely to form...

Оцените своих слушателей. Слушайте. Ищите точки соприкосновения. Распознавайте невербальные сигналы.


Article in English: If you want to be modest, then you have to look the part. Don't hover over people, wave your hands wildly when you gesture, touch people you barely know with too much confidence, or stand with your hands on your hips and a giant maniacal smile planted on your face. Just stand with good posture, smile when the occasion calls for it, and keep your hands at your sides. You don't have to hunch over or look at the ground to be modest. Just don't go so over the top with your body language that people think you're full of yourself. If you're modest, then you shouldn't march right into a room like you own the place and start chatting away like the belle of the ball. Stride into a room with confidence, and calmly greet people or give them hugs, but don't show up and throw your hands in the air and cry, "The party's here!" The way you carry yourself, especially when you enter a new environment, can influence how modest you really look. This doesn't mean that you should dress like you just arrived to America on the Mayflower. However, if you want to be modest, then you should avoid clothes that are too flashy and which draw too much attention to you. Wearing obscene graphic tees, neon colors, or zebra or leopard print patterns may not be your best bet. Wear something that accentuates your best features without putting it all out there. Women should define what dressing with modesty means to them. There's no harm in showing off a little cleavage as long as you've got it under control. Part of being modest means not acting or looking like you're better than everyone else. So, that $1000 Prada purse or those expensive diamond earrings may have to go if you want to look modest in front of other people. It's okay to own some nice things and to bring them out from time to time, but if you're rolling in with $5000 worth of electronics, jewelry, watches, shoes, and any other accessories that you can think of, then other people will raise their eyebrows. Maybe you worked hard for that $1000 Prada purse. It's okay to wear it. But...

Article in English: If you want to be perky, you'll need to have a high overall energy level. Work on maintaining a regular sleep schedule. This will help you get a better night's rest.  Go to bed and get up on roughly the same time each day. Your body runs on a circadian rhythm that adjusts to a regular schedule. If you set your bedtime for 11 PM each day, and your wake-up time for 8 AM, your body will wake up and fall asleep naturally at those times.  Have a bedtime ritual. This can help signal to your body that it's time for sleep. Do something relaxing before bed. Take a warm bath, read a book, or have a small snack.  Avoid going on your computer or phone close to bedtime. The light emitted by electronic screens stimulates brain activity, making sleep difficult. Magnesium is an important vitamin to a balanced diet. Upping your magnesium levels can increase your overall energy. It can increase your heart rate and oxygen levels, resulting in higher overall energy.  Women should get 300 milligrams of magnesium a day. Men should strive for 350 milligrams. You should talk to your doctor about healthy ways to reach these levels.  Foods high in magnesium include hazelnuts, cashews, whole grains, and bran-based products. Halibut is also high in magnesium. If you feel tired during the day, take a short walk. This can increase your energy level, leaving you perkier. At work, take a 15 minute break to take a brisk walk around the block. Taking short 10 to 15 minute walks throughout the day can help boost your energy level. You should also strive for regular physical activity.  Try to exercise for 20 to 30 minutes at least 3 times a week.  Pick a form of exercise you enjoy. If you loathe running, you'll struggle to stay on a schedule. If a long bike ride is incredibly relaxing for you, try biking instead. Talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise regimen. You want to make sure you do not strain yourself. Many Americans skip breakfast, but if you want to be perky, breakfast is a must. Low-energy and poor performance at work and...

Article in English: If you want to be really good at something you need to practice, right? Well, smiling is no different. If you're not a person who smiles a lot naturally, you will need to get used to what smiling feels like and learn how to replicate that feeling more naturally. Practice by smiling when no one else is around, in the bathroom, in bed, in your car. That way, you will feel less self-conscious.  Every morning, try to look in the mirror and smile at yourself. Concentrate on making the smile look natural, by extending it to your eyes. A slight upturn of the mouth isn't going to convince anybody. Find a smile that you like the look of and try to memorize how your face feels when you make it. That way, you will be able to replicate that exact smile in everyday situations. It's no secret that being happy makes you smile, so why not take advantage of that fact? If you find yourself in a situation where you know you'll have to smile and you want it to look natural, take a moment to conjure a happy memory or the face of a person you love. These positive mental images will automatically boost your mood and help you to smile more naturally. Bottom line: think happy thoughts! Everybody knows at least one person to whom smiling it the easiest, most natural thing in the world. Someone who'll smile at the drop of a hat, at everyone and everything. Chances are this person is well-liked, and is known for being approachable and trustworthy. Such are the powers of a great smile. Take some time to interact with this person, one-on-one, in a sociable setting and observe how and when they smile.  Make a mental note of how often they smile, along with the things they smile in response to. Do they smile when you say something funny? Or even when you don't? Are they smiling to be polite, or just because they seem genuinely happy? Now you've seen how a natural smiler navigates normal conversations, you will feel more confident about adopting similar behaviors and incorporating more smiles into your daily interactions.. In situations like...
