Article in English: You may be considering a summer job to earn some extra money. In this case, your main focus can be finding a summer job with a high wage.  Once you have found the types of jobs that pay the best you can then look to see if you have any skills and experience relevant to these positions. You may have a minimum wage that you cannot go below. Establishing this minimum income threshold will help you sift though the many summer jobs available. If you are looking to change careers and/or pick up new skills a summer job is perfect option. It will allow you to test out a new line of work without feeling like you have to stick with it permanently, especially if it turns not to be for you.

Traditionally it was younger people and students that would fill summer jobs, but that has now changed. There are a lot of officially retired people who are not ready to give up work just yet.  People who are retired may want to take a summer job to earn a little extra money or simply...

Ищите работу с высокой зарплатой. Найдите работу, которая позволит вам приобрести новые навыки. Подумайте о работе на лето за границей. Пойдите на работу, которая позволяет включиться в работу (особенно, если вы безработный). Выберите приятную работу на лето, если вы на пенсии.


Article in English: You may be dying to be back with your ex-boyfriend, but the worst thing you can do is hang around him incessantly, call him, or wink at him in class until he gets the picture. If you're always around, he probably does get the picture, but it won't be one that he likes. Instead, you should take a breather and stop hanging around him, at least for a few weeks or longer.  You can decide whether you want to cut off contact completely, or if that's impossible because of school. Stop calling or texting him. Even if you think of something funny that reminds you of him, it's better to hold off. Try to avoid seeing him at all, even when you're hanging out with mutual friends. If you do catch yourselves at the same party, you don't have to be rude to him, but you shouldn't spend too much time talking to him. You don't have to be rude to take a break from your ex. If you do run into him, you don't have to run away, but you don't have to linger and talk about nothing either. While you distance yourself from your boyfriend, you'll be in a good position to reflect on the problems in the relationship. If you want to get your man back, then you have to figure out what it was that went wrong, so you don't do it all over again. The problem could be simple, or it could take a bit longer to figure out. Here are some of the things that could have gone wrong:  Maybe you were too jealous or controlling, and he couldn't handle it anymore. Maybe you didn't spend enough time together. Maybe he felt like you weren't caring or affectionate enough. Maybe he felt like you were too clingy and were always around. Maybe there was a situational change, like one of you having to move to a different town, or maybe he was leaving for college in just a few months and wanted to break it off. Maybe you were just always fighting and didn't get along. Once you figure out what went wrong in the relationship - which could be a combination of problems instead of just one - it's time to think about how you can make things different next time. You don't...

Summary in Russian:

Отдохните от бывшего. Подумайте, что пошло не так. Составьте план действий по решению проблемы. Работайте над собой.


Article in English: You may be in a chatting mood, but your girlfriend might be sitting in class, or busy with a family event, or working in the library. Just as you might not bug someone in person if they were doing any of these things, it's a good idea to avoid texting her while she's busy. Avoid texting late at night, while you're busy, or any time you suspect your girlfriend might be driving. If she's texting you, don't respond or tell her that you'll text her later. You don't have to write like you're in writing class, but it's still important to make sure you're spelling words (mostly) correctly so that your girlfriend can read them. Take the time to write out full sentences when you can, making each text full of content, so she doesn't have to scroll through 50 to get what you're saying. While you might not care, some people are turned off by too many uses of "ur" and "gr8." That "..." bubble can be nerve-wracking to wait for, but it's important to give her a chance to respond before you start blasting off extra texts. This can seem aggressive and impatient. Don't assume she'll always be right by her phone ready to respond.  Don't text too much. Keep the ratio at roughly 1 : 1. Save some stuff for real-life interactions.  If she doesn't respond to your texts, or isn't giving you interesting responses, just stop sending messages. Never send angry texts, or lash out via text. When she writes something, or asks you a question, respond when you have something to say. It's not good to play "hard to get" when you're texting with a girl. Just respond as soon as you see she's written something and try to have a conversation. If she asks you a question and you don't have an answer right away, still respond to her text. If she says, "Dinner Friday?" Write back, "Sounds fun! But let me make sure my schedule is clear. I'll get back to you later today." Don't just keep her waiting. Sometimes, your meaning can be hard to interpret, and your texts can seem overly aggressive or harsh with just the words. Most phones have a variety of...

Article in English: You may be in the early days of your pregnancy and not ready to announce it. You may even be showing a bit and not want to say anything because of complications or you not feeling well. Answer questions and discuss your pregnancy only as you’re comfortable, even if people show enthusiasm and support.  Let anyone to whom you’ve announced your pregnancy know if it is ok to say something to other people or if you prefer to tell people when you’re ready. For example, “Sara, can you please not say anything to anyone at the party about me being pregnant? It’s still so early that I just want to make sure everything is ok before I announce it to everyone.” Prepare yourself if someone lets the cat out of the bag without your approval. Come up with a generic acknowledgement such as, “Yep, it’s true I’m pregnant. I’ve been so sick that I’m just laying low until I start to feel better.” Many women who are pregnant find out that everyone is an expert on pregnancy and childbearing. This can be especially true with family members. If you are around a lot of different family members during the holidays, develop ways to handle relatives with pesky questions and advice. This can help you more easily navigate and enjoy the holidays.  Make a list of family who may be invasive about your pregnancy. Think about ways in which you can engage them without offending their sensibilities. For example, say to yourself, “Ok, I know Aunt Laurie is going to ask me to name the baby after my great grandfather. But I hate the name Aloysius. So I’m just going to tell her that it’s on the list we’re considering so she leaves me alone.” Acknowledge family members’ positions with respect. For example, you may not be married to the baby’s father and have no plans to wed. If your partner’s father makes comments, counter them with, “Sal, I understand that things are different in your culture and generation, but attitudes towards marriage and pregnancy are different in my generation.” You could also say things like, “Uncle Peter, we don’t go to church...

Article in English: You may be sabotaging yourself with negative thoughts and not even realize it. Begin by simply becoming aware of negative thoughts, and how they may be affecting you. Some common forms of negative thinking include:  Filtering, or minimizing positive aspects while magnifying the negative. Polarizing, or seeing things as only good or bad with no middle-ground. Catastrophizing, or only imagining the worst-case scenario. With a little practice, you can learn to transform your thoughts. Start by following one simple rule: Don’t say anything about yourself that you wouldn’t say about a friend. Be gentle with yourself. Encourage yourself the way you would encourage a close friend. It is a misconception that some people are naturally positive, while others are inherently negative. In reality, optimism takes practice. Try to intentionally see the silver lining. Instead of thinking, “I’ve never done this before,” tell yourself, “This is an opportunity to learn something new.” ” We all have that inner voice that tends to critique or question us. This voice may tell us that we are not good enough, not talented enough, or not worthy of someone’s love. These thoughts are meant to protect you from failure or heartbreak, but in truth, they do nothing but hold you back. When your inner critic speaks up, ask yourself these questions.  Are these thoughts really true? Is it possible that these thoughts are not true? Can I admit that they might not be true? Can I imagine the possibility that really I am good enough, talented enough, and worth of love? If guilt, pain, or regret over past circumstances are bringing you down, you can work to release those emotions.  Make the active choice to let something go. Write it down and/or speak it out loud. Express your pain and/or take responsibility. If there is something you need to say to someone, say it, even if what you need to say is “I’m sorry.” Forgive yourself and others. Try to remember that everyone makes mistakes. Nobody is perfect, and everyone deserves another chance (even you).

Article in English: You may be surprised that you don't need to practice meditation for that long to start seeing the effects. One scientific study examined how a group of students responded to meditation. With just two weeks of meditation practice (10 minutes a day, plus 4 45-minute classes a week), the students significantly improved their GRE scores (a standardized test given to students trying to get into graduate school). In fact, some studies show as little as four days of meditation can improve your attention span and memory. Practicing every day is ideal. Doing so will help you work to increase your memory. In fact, spreading it out throughout the day can be helpful, such as meditating for 10 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes at lunch, and 10 minutes in the evening. However, if you find you can't practice every day, do it as often as you can. Mindfulness is a part of meditation, but it's also something you can incorporate in your day-to-day life. Mindfulness, at its most basic, just means paying attention. In other words, place yourself in the moment, rather then letting your mind race elsewhere.  For instance, when you're in the shower, stop yourself from thinking about the day ahead. Instead, focus on what the shower feels like. Feel the heat of the water on your skin, how the soap feels against your body. Pay attention to the pleasant scent of your soap or shampoo. Let yourself really feel each sensation. You can practice this technique anywhere. For instance, while you're washing dishes, take a moment to really focus on what you're doing. Let yourself feel the warm water on your skin, the weight of a plate in your hands. Put your full attention on getting the plate clean, making sure it's spotless. You may want to jump in with an hour-long meditation every day. However, most people can't sustain that kind of practice when they haven't meditated before. It's best to start small and work up to more time. You can start with as little as three minutes a day.

Начните прямо сегодня. Почаще практикуйтесь. Развивайте осознанность. Постепенно продвигайтесь вперед.


Article in English: You may be tempted to push your inner child away because her problems seem irrelevant to your life as an adult. This isn't true, however, since many of our deepest feelings are carried forward by the inner child. Avoid the temptation of disregarding or ignoring your inner child. She can't be sidestepped. Listen to her like you would an actual child in front of you. She's just as real and her feelings matter just as much. You may experience frustration if feelings of anger or insecurity well up inside you. It's important to let yourself feel this energy, however, because this is the inner child speaking to you. She may throw a tantrum or get sorrowful. You can accept these emotions without "giving in" to them. Acknowledge them and then move on without letting them dictate your actions. Re-parenting is based on the idea that as an adult you now possess the knowledge and resources to give your inner child what she needs. If you feel like your inner child needs some healing before she can show up in your life at her best, this can be a good approach to try. You know better than anyone what she needs, based on hurtful experiences in her past, and how to help.  For example, if your parents never gave you a birthday party, throw one for yourself. Invite your friends and tell them you're making up for this part of your childhood. For another example, affirm yourself when you know you've done something you can be proud of. Say "I'm proud of myself and my achievements." Although you want to avoid being held back by childhood fears, it's a good idea to be sensitive to your inner child's needs as well. If you have particular insecurities that you haven't fully overcome, respect them. You may have a fear of heights that first showed up in childhood. Be kind to the part of you that's still unsure about high diving boards or climbing. Also, stay out of toxic situations. If being around specific people reinforces childhood anxieties, limit contact with those individuals. For example, if you have a brother who picks on you...

Article in English: You may come to suspect a friend, family member, or co-worker is habitually stretching the truth. Pick apart the suspected lies and consider what they have in common. Pathological liars may lie to gain sympathy, boredom, or insecurity. Part of the reason the pathological liar feels compelled to lie is because he or she may feel as though being in spotlight has eluded them. This person feels that he or she should be the center of everyone's universe and will do what he or she can to make it happen. Upon tasting the spotlight it becomes self-reinforcing and the lies grow bigger each time just to keep on being the center of attention.  Some pathological liars may be actively trying to gain sympathy in a situation. They may tend to exaggerate or make up pains and illnesses, for example, or exaggerate small issues in their lives to ridiculous proportions in order to gain sympathy from anyone within earshot. Pathological liars may also have low self-esteem. They may lie to make themselves look more important than they truly are. They may exaggerate accomplishments in personal or professional areas in order to make their lives seem impressive and worthy. In this case, they may be lying to convince themselves rather than to mislead you. Some pathological liars simply lie out of boredom. They will fabricate events and make up lies to hurt others. This creates drama, alleviating boredom in the pathological liar's life. Some pathological liars may enjoy the attention that they get from others by telling extravagant stories about themselves. In order to keep up appearances, they may spin larger and more complicated lies. Pathological liars may often get caught lying. Frequently, you may hear someone else's story retold as if it happened to a pathological liar. If something about a story sounds familiar to you, stop to consider whether you've heard that story before.  You may hear a pathological liar repeat the story of a friend or family member. They may also repeat stories from movies or television shows. The stories...

Article in English: You may feel better about your life and yourself if you are doing something that you really love to do. Take some time to think about what you are passionate about. Write down your thoughts so that you can read over them and use them to help you develop your talents. Some good writing activities to help you identify what you are passionate about include:   Thinking about what you wanted to do as a child. What did you love to do when you were a kid? Did you enjoy playing softball? Drawing? Dancing? Or something else? Write about what you remember loving to do as a child.  Making a list of people you look up to. Try making a list of all of the people who you admire most. Write about what you admire about them and how that might translate into your passion.  Imagining what you would do if you knew you would succeed. Take a minute to imagine that you could have guaranteed success at anything you choose. What would you do if you knew you could not fail? Write about your answer. Once you know what makes you happy, find ways to do these things more often. This can be as simple as turning one of your passions into a hobby or it might be more complex, such as changing careers.  If your passion is something that is hard to break into, such as acting, then try joining a local club or take a class to give yourself an outlet for your passion. Pay attention to how you feel when you are using your talents. You should notice that you have a light, happy feeling. This can help you to confirm that you are truly passionate about this activity. If you notice a heavy, unpleasant feeling, then you may need to reevaluate. Beauty and attractiveness are not the same thing. Attraction is the force that draws others to you. Being typically beautiful can contribute to make someone attractive. However, many other qualities create attraction.  Intelligence, kindness, confidence, health, and humor are all attractors. People who have a realistic self-image, who are emotionally grounded, and who take good care of themselves are considered...

Article in English: You may feel grown up as a teenager, but typically, your parents still have a lot of say in your life. Talking to them about love might seem awkward. It can, if fact, be beneficial for everyone. Your parents can talk from experience and guide you through your emotions. Being open with them will also help them be more open to the thought of you in a relationship.  Ask your parents if they can set aside time to talk to you. You can say something like “I’m experiencing some unfamiliar emotions, and I’d like to hear your advice.” You can also say “I think I’m falling in love. Can you guide me through these emotions?” You may be in love, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take the relationship slowly. Don’t feel rushed to explore sexuality or make a serious commitment to each other. Enjoy being young teenagers in love without the pressure. Figure out what you are and are not okay with in your relationship. For example, you may be okay with kissing, but you aren’t okay with going any farther than that. If you and your partner are in love, you should be able to talk openly with each other. Have a conversation with them about your limits so they will know what they can and can not do. Being in love also means respecting your partner’s space. You should be happy when your partner studies hard and works towards their dreams. Don’t expect them to be around you 24/7 or make bigger commitments than they handle. If you are truly in love, you want what is best for them.

Расскажите родителям о своих чувствах. Не торопите события. Определите свои границы. Не ждите слишком многого от своего партнера.


Article in English: You may feel like you have absolutely nothing in common with your mom, but that's probably not true! Chances are the two of you share at least one common interest. No matter what that thing is, use it to come up with activities that you will both enjoy doing together.  Your common interests can be anything at all, from traveling the world to playing with your cat. Take the initiative to plan some activities yourself. For example, if you and your mom both love animals, plan a trip to the zoo. You can let her in on your plans ahead of time or consider surprising her. Life gets busy sometimes, so if you're trying to spend more time with your mom, you may need to put it on both of your calendars. Scheduling time to spend together will demonstrate that you are both committed to becoming closer.  This is even more important if you don't get to see your mom very often because of her work schedule, for example. The two of you should agree on how often you will have your bonding time. It may be once a week or once a month, depending on your schedules and your own personal preferences. You might decide to do the same thing every time (like going out for ice cream every Friday night) or you may plan different activities for each time. The important thing is that you are together and doing something that you both enjoy. You don't necessarily have to go anywhere for your bonding time. You can stay at home and bake cookies together if you both enjoy doing that. Just being in the same room together doesn't always count as spending time together. When you spend time with your mom, make sure you are actually interacting, rather than just co-existing in the same space. Put phones, computers, and other devices away. Instead, focus on having a conversation or doing some kind of activity together. In addition to spending time together for no specific reason, you should try to celebrate together. Whether it's her birthday or your graduation, let her know that you want to be together for this special time.  Consider doing something...

Article in English: You may feel that you could or should do something else with your time other than meditate. But, if you treat meditation like it is a part of a healthy lifestyle then you will find yourself more motivated to do it.  You deserve to be peaceful as much as you deserve to eat, sleep, or breathe. It is a part of who you are. Furthermore, the world around you—–your family, your friends, your companion animals, even strangers—–deserve for you to be peaceful, too. ”Tell yourself, “It’s okay for me to take the time to meditate. This is a part of being healthy. It’ll help me be calmer and more peaceful. “ A meditation zone is a space in your home dedicated to meditation. You can even tell the rest of the household that this area is off limits during the times you are using it for meditation. Having a dedicated space that you enjoy can help you find the motivation to meditate.  Use scented candles, incense, or aromatherapy fragrance makers to make your meditation zone appealing. Add light as part of the enjoyment. Use low-key colored lights or pretty hanging lights to create an atmosphere that draws you to this area for "me time". By making the space where you meditate a special place, in time you will become aware that you are calmer here, because it will be associated with peace and reflection. Listening to relaxing music playing quietly in the background can help you relax and get into the ‘meditation mood’. And the more you are in the mood to meditate, the more motivated you will be to meditate.  Create a meditation playlist of your own made up of music that calms you and helps you be more peaceful. Find a relaxing channel or playlist on an internet radio or video provider by searching for the term ‘meditation music’. If you can, wear headphones, as this also allows you to block out any other noises and distractions. Don’t allow the music or sounds to become a distraction. You want to focus on meditating, not the music. You can motivate yourself to meditate and make meditation a part of your lifestyle if you remind...

Article in English: You may feel the need to panic and wipe up the stain, but resist that temptation! Wiping up the stain without the use of a cleaner can lead to an even bigger stain. If possible, blot up some of the ink with a paper towel. Just press the ink stain until you can’t remove any more of the ink with blotting alone. The kind of toothpaste you use to brush your teeth should work just fine—unless you use gel toothpaste. In that case, get some basic toothpaste that can even be bought from the dollar store. Put the toothpaste directly on the ink stain. Find a toothpaste that is labeled for whitening or has baking soda in it. This helps clear the stain. Okay, now you can start wiping instead of blotting. First, dampen a clean, soft cloth. Rub the stain for a few minutes. You’re ready to stop rubbing when the cloth slides over the wood with ease. Check the wood out to see if most or all of the stain is gone. Then, rinse off the rag you just used to clean the floor. Use that same cloth to rinse off the floor. Wipe off the wood until there isn’t any toothpaste left on the floor. Use a towel to pat off the wood until it is dry. Look over the result of your hard work. At this point, the stain should be completely gone. If not, don’t stress! There are other things you can do. You can repeat the process until you get the result you want. Or, you can use a stronger chemical to get the job done.

Article in English: You may find it easier to have a conversation with just one person at a time. This is especially true if one parent is stricter or angrier at you than the other one. Ask your parent whether he is busy before you ask your question. Make it clear that you want to talk about the punishment before you begin talking. If he seems irritated or distracted, ask whether there is a better time to talk to him. . It may hurt your pride, especially if you do not think you did anything wrong. However, your parent does, and she probably won't change her mind on the punishment unless you agree with her. When you apologize, don't try to pass on the blame to someone else, or even part of the blame. You may explain briefly why it happened, but it's best only to talk about your own actions. Talk about your own feelings, and avoid using the word "you," which can sound accusing. For instance, "I take a walk outside when I need to relax, so I feel stressed when I'm not allowed to leave the house." or "I know I did something bad, but I'm not sure this punishment is giving me the opportunity to show I can do better." This works best for long term punishments, such as grounding that lasts several weeks or months. For instance, ask for the ability to leave the house, but with an earlier curfew. If you show you can follow these terms, your parents might continue to reduce the punishment or end it early. Some experts on parenting recommend that parents follow this strategy. Be cautious about telling this to your parents, though. They may not appreciate their child telling them about good parenting practices. Your parents might let you exchange your current punishment for another one. Depending on the situation, you might ask to have extra chore duties, be banned from television and computers for a certain amount of time, or find a tutor for your schoolwork. Your parents probably know which punishments you find easy to handle. Suggest a serious alternative punishment, just one that will restrict you in a different way. Listen to your...

Article in English: You may find it helpful to start with some riddles for which you already know the answer. There are many collections of riddles online and in books that you can use to practice on. Riddles tend to assume that the answer should already be known; part of the fun of a riddle is seeing whether you can stump someone by asking them about something they don’t know that they know. Although the wording itself may be tricky, the solution is usually something familiar. For example, a famous enigma in Sophocles’ play Oedipus the King asks, “What goes on four feet in the morning, two feet at noon, and three feet in the evening?” The answer is “a person”: a baby crawls when it is young (morning), walks upright when it is an adult (noon), and has to use a cane when it is old (evening). With the Oedipus enigma, a good place to start might be the “feet,” since they’re repeated throughout the riddle. What has four feet? What has two feet? What has three feet?  What has four feet? Many animals have four feet, so that’s a possible answer. Tables and chairs also have four feet, and they’re common things too, so keep those in mind. What has two feet? People seem an obvious choice here, since humans are familiar and they have two feet. Chairs and tables don’t have two feet, so they’re probably not the answer. What has three feet? This is the tricky part. Animals don’t usually have three feet unless one has been taken away. However, if the animal started with four feet and then went to two feet, it wouldn’t re-grow a third foot. That means that we’re probably looking at the third foot as a kind of tool: something that has been added. What uses tools? A person is the most familiar answer, so this might be the target. We only get one verb in this enigma, “goes.” So we know whatever the solution is, it’s capable of going somewhere. This might mean that it goes because something else makes it go (like a car), so don’t make up your mind just yet. Maintaining an open mind is crucial for solving riddles. The other information in the...

Article in English: You may find that sleeping on your back is the most comfortable position when you have broken ribs, or you may find it more comfortable to sleep on your side. Both of these sleep positions are okay to use when you have broken ribs. Sleeping on your side or on your back will also help to make breathing easier. Try out different positions to find the most comfortable position for you.   Try sleeping on the injured side. If your broken ribs are only on one side, some physicians recommend that you sleep on the injured side because it restricts the movement of your injured ribs and allows you to breathe more deeply on your uninjured side. However, if this position is painful for you, then do not try to sleep on your injured side.  Try sleeping in a recliner. For some people with broken ribs, sleeping in a recliner is more comfortable than sleeping in a bed. Pillows and cushions can help to prevent you from rolling over in the night, which can be painful may even cause you to wake up in the night.  If you are sleeping on your back, then try placing a pillow under each of your arms to keep you from rolling onto your sides. You can also place a couple of pillows under your knees to reduce some of the strain on your back. . Broken ribs may cause you to take shallow breaths due to the pain associated with moving your chest too much. For this reason, it is a good idea to do some deep breathing throughout the day and right before bed as well. Practicing deep breathing can help you to relax and it will also ensure that you are getting plenty of oxygen. To practice deep breathing, lie on your back or recline in a chair and slowly take in a deep breath. Count to five as you take in the breath and then slowly exhale out as you count down from five. As you breathe, try to pull the air down into your belly with your diaphragm. During the first few days, you will need to limit coughing, twisting, turning, and stretching. This might be harder to remember or control at night. Just try to keep in mind that your ribs are connected...

Article in English: You may have a great idea for a paper in your head, but if it doesn't perfectly match the prompt, you may not create the product your instructor has asked for. Look over the prompt (and rubric, if you have one) carefully and underline key phrases. Keep a list of these things by you as you work.  Many comparative essay assignments will signal their purpose by using words such as "compare," "contrast," "similarities," and "differences" in the language of the prompt. Also see whether there are any limits placed on your topic. While some essays may be simple compare/contrast essays, others may ask you to begin with that framework and then develop an evaluation or argument based on your comparisons. For these essays, simply pointing out that things are similar or different will not be sufficient.  The assignment will generally ask guiding questions if you are expected to incorporate comparison as part of a larger assignment. For example: "Choose a particular idea or theme, such as love, beauty, death, or time, and consider how two different Renaissance poets approach this idea." This sentence asks you to compare two poets, but it also asks how the poets approach the point of comparison. In other words, you will need to make an evaluative or analytical argument about those approaches. If you're unclear on what the essay prompt is asking you to do, talk with your instructor. It's much better to clarify questions up front than discover you've written the entire essay incorrectly. Showing the similarities between the two subjects is the essence of a comparison paper, but you also need to recognize their differences. Making an effective comparison requires that you examine the differences between the subjects, as well. By examining the contrast between your subjects, you can provide valuable insights into how they relate to each other. The best place to start is to write a list of things that the items you are comparing have in common as well as differences between them. It is likely that you will not be able to write...

Внимательно проанализируйте вопрос. Определите, какого именно типа сравнительное сочинение вам нужно написать. Составьте список сходств и различий сравниваемых объектов.

Article in English: You may have had some downs, some failed grades or poor relationships - this does not mean that you will fail every exam you ever take or have poor relationships for the rest of your life. Acknowledge any role that you may have played in these and also look at other factors that may have been at play. The point of this is not to point fingers or lay blame on any one. Understand that you have some control over the quality of your life. Look at things that may have gone wrong in the past and look at your behavior then and now. Forgive yourself. Are there any lessons that you can draw from them? Write them down. Is there anything you’re doing that you know will have consequences that you will regret later? Instead, do something that will be of benefit to you later, or at the very least will not cause any harm. You will have to exercise some discipline. It’s easy to repeat behavior just because it’s familiar, it’s what you’re used to doing in a particular situation. For example, if you’re used to eating lots of sweet things and now you have diabetes, it will take time to adjust to your eating habits. Take the lessons you’ve learned, and carry on with life. As your past defined your present, your present will define your future. What you do now, will affect your future.  Allow yourself to fully feel any grievance you may have for the past. For a friendship that went sour or for a project you set out to do that didn’t work out the way you wanted. Write about it or discuss it with someone you trust. Express your view on the matter and why you’re upset about it. This will help you better understand your situation.  Accept that what’s done is done and that you can only deal with the here and now. Forgive yourself for your mistakes and if you can, make amends with others. Internalizing this may take longer than a day. Your choices, habits and behavior in the past made who you are today. It will take time to cultivate new habits that will make who you are tomorrow.

Summary in Russian:

Поймите, что ваше прошлое не должно определять ваше будущее. Учитесь на своих ошибках. Не стойте на месте.


Article in English: You may have heard that you should  set SMART goals, which means goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Results-focused, and Time-bound. So, grab that piece of paper on which you wrote down your wildest dreams. Develop an action plan to meet these goals with clear and measurable steps and a reasonable, yet challenging deadline.  Take your goal-setting a step further by finding an accountability partner. Ask a coworker, close friend, or family member if you can email a weekly progress report to them outlining what steps you have taken in reaching your goals. This extra step will motivate you even more. If you can’t find an accountability partner, download an app that helps you stick to your goals. And do it first. If you are truly serious about living a life on your own terms, then you must be responsible for prioritizing your goals above all. Each week, make sure that the first tasks you perform each day are those with the highest priority/greatest importance. That way, even if you slack off for the remainder of the day, your day was still purposeful. If you have a passion to do something, don’t allow money to deter you from doing it. Also, don’t give in to the belief that you do not have time. If your dreams are important enough to you, you will make time. Living a self-directed life can be enhanced by the people who surround you. You can’t expect to see positive changes in your life when you spend most of your time with negative people. Positive energy coming from your friends and loved ones gives you greater confidence, reduces stress, and makes you happier. Of course, it is impossible to keep those who are endlessly critical, unmotivated, or mean-spirited completely out of your life. Just be mindful of their toxicity and monitor your thoughts when you are around them. If you find yourself thinking negatively, challenge those thoughts and reframe them into more positive thoughts. Get out there and collect experiences. If you have been living your life based on other's approval or expectations, it...

Article in English: You may have heard the saying “It's the little things.”  Telling your parents that you love them on a regular basis can warm their hearts; however, doing little caring things, when they least expect you to, will show them that you truly do love them.   Write them a brief love note, send a thoughtful text message, or give them a touching greeting card on an ordinary day. Arrange to spend some quality time with them.  If they are feeling “under the weather” offer to help nurse them back to health. Just like you're not perfect, you're parents are not perfect either. They are human.  They also struggle with various things, and can often be under a lot of stress.  You can bring them joy by simply embracing them.  Allow them to make mistakes. Avoid judging them. Make sure that you forgive them. Encourage them every opportunity that you get. Teenagers are notorious for feeling awkward and uncomfortable with displaying affection for a parent.  But sometimes just a touch can go a long way with a parent. You're never too young or too old to be affectionate with your parents.   Surprise them with a kiss goodnight. Give them a warm hug when they least expect it. Wrap your arm around your father.  Hold your mother's hand as she's walking.

Summary in Russian:

Заботьтесь о своих родителях. Принимайте своих родителей такими, какие они есть. Выражайте свою любовь.


Article in English: You may have to wait a few minutes before you stop crying. You will eventually stop. It is better to let yourself cry than force yourself to stop. Pent up emotions are being expressed when you cry which allows the body to release tension and recover.  If you are in a time crunch and you need to stop crying, tell yourself, “You need to stop crying and find the calm inside you.” Repeat this until you stop. You can also purposely startle yourself. This will create a quick shift in your emotions and will help you stop. Simply saying, “Oh!” might do the trick. Redirect your emotions with a pinch to your arm. This can cause enough of a distraction to switch off your crying response. Once you have stopped crying, distract your thoughts away from the reason for crying. If you just received news that someone passed away, focus on what you need to do that day. Crying is related to many positive events as well as sad or maddening events. Allow yourself to cry until you stop. When you cry, facial nerves are stimulated, which causes the skin to increase in temperature. Cool water splashed on your face will lessen the heat. Let the water run over your hands and wrists and splash your face a few times. Use a towel or whatever is available to pat your face dry. You want to clear you nose of mucus. Once you've blown your nose, look in a mirror to make sure your nose is clean. Take a few cleansing breaths to release the residual emotions and fill your lungs. Crying can constrict your breathing, and slow breathing can restore normal function. Your body will benefit from the additional oxygen. Avoid rapid breathing that can turn into hyperventilating, which can trigger a panic attack. When a person cries, blood rushes to the face, eyes and nose areas. Once you stop crying, the skin will eventually return to your normal color.  Use a cold compress and place it over your eyes, nose and face. This will speed up the calming process. If you are at work or elsewhere and a cold compress is not available, wet paper towels and spin them...

Article in English: You may have to wait even longer than that, depending on how dry or humid it is in your home. In fact, it would be a good idea to poke your finger under the papier-mâché; if it feels wet, give it a little more time.  This completes your dinosaur's body. Don't worry about the hole left by the balloon. You'll end up covering it with the dinosaur's head or tail. How long it will take for your project to dry really depends on what the weather is like. Papier-mâché will dry a lot faster on a hot, dry, sunny day than on a cold, wet, day. Be patient!

Article in English: You may literally be at the end of your rope, thinking that there's absolutely nowhere else for you to turn. But you know what the best part of rock bottom is? It's that the only place you can go is up. You may feel like you have nothing to live for and that everything can only get worse, but the important thing to remember is that things will get better if you stick it out and make a game plan. Sure, your life won't be amazing overnight, but if you are aware that things can get better for you, then you'll be on the way to moving forward. When you feel a suicidal thought creeping up, just tell yourself that you know you can get through it and that you'll have better days. There are many people out there who deal with people like us every day of their lives. They are there because they want to help us, not make us feel even more miserable. It may seem like there is nobody in this world who can help you, but that's probably because you're not letting them help you. If you tell your friends how you're feeling then they are guaranteed to help you out. That is, if you let them. It's understandable that you may not want anyone's help, and that's completely acceptable. But you can't just keep having that thought linger in your mind forever.  If you feel that you are in danger of harming yourself and have no one to turn to, call the Emergency Services, your doctor, or check yourself into the ER as soon as you can. You should not be alone during this difficult time, period. You can also call a helpline if you're in trouble and want someone to talk to. You can call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) at any time in the US or you can call Samaritans at 116 123 or PAPYRUS at 0800 068 41 41 (if you are a teen or a young adult) if you're in the UK. Go online to find the contact information for the suicide helpline in your country. If you'd rather text someone, send a message to the Crisis Text Line at 741741 to chat with a crisis counselor. If you're in Canada, the number is 686868, or text 85258 in the UK. If you're having suicidal...

Article in English: You may love clothes but clothing is only part of the story when undertaking fashion design. You'll also need excellent communication skills, a willingness to work very hard (often 24/7), a tough hide when criticized, an ability to cope with stress, openness to having many different clients and/or bosses, an acceptance that there will be loneliness or isolation on occasion (depending on how you set up your design business or career) and an ability to be a self-disciplined self-starter.  Being a fashion designer is probably for you if: You want to devote your life to this career (it's your "vocation"), you don't mind uncertainty or insecurity, you are willing to stand up for what you believe in, you have distinct ideas about what is important in fashion, you listen to clients well, you know the fashion industry inside out and you live, eat and breathe fashion. Being a fashion designer is probably not for you if: You can't manage stress well, you don't like uncertainty or instability, you want a career without too many highs or lows, you need other people to praise your efforts, you need a lot of guidance, you hate being financially unstable and you have too many other interests in life.

Article in English: You may need to found a legal entity to legitimize your business. Starting your business as a legal entity, including having a marketing strategy and billing structure, can help show potential clients that you are a serious businessperson.  If you have any questions, consult the Small Business Administration, which was set up to help smaller companies.  Check with local authorities to ensure you have all of the correct licenses, certificates, and any insurance you need to start your business. The Small Business Administration can also help if you have any questions.  In some cases, you may not have to set up a legal entity for a freelance business. However, it may be advisable to establish a proper business to limit your potential personal liability if problems with your business arise.  Make sure to register your business with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or other tax authorities.  You may want to hire a local accountant to help you navigate the financial side of your business, from registering with the IRS to budgeting. Write out short and long-term plans to guide your business. This is important to help develop your business and accommodate for any contingency, such as an illness or a lawsuit. Be as detailed in your plan as possible. List your responsibilities. Create a working list of services and prices that you can tailor to demand. Finally, make sure to calculate any costs you may have to take on for supplies and payroll. You will need to have a designated space in which to run your freelance business. Set aside a room in your home or rent an office space where you can do your work without interruption.  You will need sufficient space to meet with clients, complete your projects, and store your materials.  Make the space warm and inviting to your clients. It should be clean and tidy.   If you are using a space within your home, set up a separate entrance to your studio for your clients. Otherwise, you will have customers walking through your home, which will require you to have it tidy, clean,...

Article in English: You may need to recruit, or even hire, someone experienced in home electrical wiring, plumbing (gas), heating, and air conditioning to ensure that it is thoroughly inspected. You can also do the checks outlined in the following steps. Wear rubber sandals and hold a wooden stick or equipment to avoid getting an electric shock. Remove any jewelry  or metallic accessories that you might be wearing to be safe as they might conduct electricity.  Look for improperly grounded receptacles. Many modern appliances require a "three pronged" (grounded) receptacle, but people will sometimes use an adapter to bypass this safety feature, or even break a ground prong off an appliance cord. Changing existing circuits to provide grounding is a job that is best left to a professional electrician. Look in the attic and crawl spaces for wiring which has been damaged by pests or insects. Some old wiring is insulated with a material which insects eat or chew on, and squirrels or other rodents will often chew the thermoplastic insulation off of modern nonmetallic cable (Romex). Look for overloaded circuit breakers, panel boxes, or fuse boxes.  Check for breakers or fuses which may have circuits "piggy-backed" on them. These are rated for single circuit protection, but sometimes in outdated or undersized panel boxes, people will put two or even more wires in the terminal of a single breaker or fuse. Notice flickering lights, or intermittent power surges. These conditions may be caused by outside influences, but if they occur often, they may indicate a bad connection or a short in the circuit. Note breakers which trip, or fuses that blow frequently. This is almost always a sign of an overloaded circuit or other wiring problem, usually of a most serious nature. Look at the individual breaker connections, especially in outdoor panel boxes, for corrosion, signs of thermal damage (smut or smokey residue near terminals) splices which are poorly taped or wire nutted, or abraded or damaged wire insulation. Check the ground cable. A failure...

Article in English: You may need to use a third pillow if you are making a bed for a large dog. You will probably need to sew by hand to avoid jamming the pillow into your sewing machine. Depending on the strength of your sewing, you may want to sew the pillows together on top where they meet in little valleys. This will help the pillows stay together and also create a more consistent shape. It helps to measure the pillows with a tape measure or yardstick and then transfer the necessary dimensions to a piece of fabric before cutting. Make sure to account for the height of the pillows by adding about four to six inches of extra fabric to each side of the cutout.  You can also lay the fabric over the pillows and mark where the fabric meets the pillow edges using a pen. Alternately, you can use old curtains instead of purchasing new fabric to save money and recycle your old things. Drape one piece over the pillow and place the other piece underneath the pillow. Make sure that the edges of the fabric match up. You can either fold as you sew or pre-pin all four sides of the bed before sewing using safety pins or sewing pins. Make sure to leave one side open in order to stuff the pillows inside. Make sure that the bed is evenly stuffed corner to corner. Snip any loose threads.  If you are seasoned at sewing, consider attaching a zipper to the fourth side of the bed. This makes it easier to wash the covering without having to wash the pillows as well. The bed can sit alone on the floor of your home, or you can place the bed in an adequately shaped box or basket for extra support and a more polished look. If using a box or basket, you can also sew strips of fabric onto the side of the bed to act as ties. You can then tie the pieces of fabric to the box or basket to prevent the bed from sliding.

Возьмите две большие подушки и частично накройте одной подушкой другую, примерно 15см по длине. Зашейте подушки вместе там, где одна подушка перекрывает другую, по шву, который соединяется с другой подушкой. Повторите по второму (и если необходимо и по третьему) шву. Выберите ткань и отрежьте два,достаточно больших куска, чтобы они могли покрыть подушки полностью. Отрежьте ткань нужного размера с помощью ножниц. Перед тем, как зашивать ткань вместе, сложите края тканей по отдельности, чтобы у вас получились мягкие, округленные края. Зашейте три стороны кровати вместе, используя либо швейную машинку, либо зашивая вручную. Как только вы зашьете три стороны, засуньте внутрь подушки. Зашейте оставшийся край кровати.


Article in English: You may never have any intention of meeting your online conversants offline, but if you do, it's important to ask them appropriately and respectfully. Don't ask any information of them you wouldn't like to provide yourself. Offer a safe, public space for meeting up (for both your protection and theirs!).  Choose a venue that gives you both the chance to converse as long as you desire with the possibility of leaving at any time. Going for a movie would be a bad choice, for example, because it is unacceptable to talk during a film. Dinner makes for a bad first meet-up as well, since it can be awkward to leave a meal before finishing if you or your conversant is feeling uncomfortable. If the website or application does not normally lead to real-world meet-ups, as with many online forums dedicated to shared interests, proceed with an extra level of care. Done offhandedly and with little thought, your request can seem intimidating or suspicious. Meeting online conversants offline is not all that different from meeting anyone else in the real world. You can't impress someone if you aren't trying to impress them. Treat the other like you would a friend you hadn't seen in years: with warmth, interest, and a respectful degree of personal space and distance. Keep in mind, however, that you are mutually strangers to one another, and that you both know very little still about the other--it takes time to build intimacy, and online intimacy is worlds apart from offline intimacy!

Article in English: You may not be able to escape it all—the holiday season is a cash cow, and every media outlet, new and old, will be pushing one message. As Tom Lehrer put it 50 years ago, "Angels we have heard on high, tell us to go out...and buy." To get back to the most primal reason for this season's festivities, start by modifying what you normally watch or listen to.  If you have cable TV, avoid the broadcast stations—the signal-to-noise ratio (noise being the Christmas marketing push) is very high. Instead, use your normal TV time to catch up on old movies you love, or the National Geographic channel or science channels for more celestial-type programming, or the History channel to learn how people celebrated the season before the rise of Christianity and later, Wall Street. Turn off the radio. You'll be pitched every 10 minutes, or subject to Christmas music, or be harangued by talkers for participating in a "war on Christmas."  Shun the internet newsgroups, especially regarding topics that touch on any reason for celebrating the season. Somebody will always be there to rain on the parade, and usually with the most abusive attitude. None of that will help you capture the spirit of the season as you see it. Whatever your solstice views are—be they pagan or secular—there are people out there who think as you do. A search in Google will give you a plethora of choices. If you live in a place where you're isolated, either by geography or by local culture, you can find like-minded people in Internet groups. Here are some things to look for:   Saturnalia. The Romans celebrated the return of the light by mandating feasting, gambling, ribaldry, and general merriment. The reason? This would vanquish Old Man Saturn, who was often depicted as Father Time, or even Death (not unlike how we ring in the new year now!). Saturnalia is celebrated from December 17th through December 24th. If all that drinking, partying, and debauching is a bit much, December 25th—conveniently enough—is Juvenalia, a celebration of children. In old Roman...

Article in English: You may not be having as much fun as you want because you feel like you're doing the same old thing day after day. Well, finding a new hobby is a great way to spice up your routine, pick up a new skill, and provide something to look forward to on a daily basis. Finding a hobby will also force you to carve out some personal time for yourself and will make you less stressed; more open to fun.  Explore your artistic side. Learn how to sketch, paint, or take professional-quality photos. Photography will change the way you view the world and will make your everyday life a bit more fun. Try to be a wordsmith. Write a poem, play, or short story and revel in the feeling. You don't have to be  a Hemingway or Steinbeck to feel happy and fulfilled. Pick up a new solo sport. Try running, swimming, or power yoga. Whatever you do, make sure you commit to doing it at least once a week so you know you can have a great time on your own. Learn a new skill. Picking up a new skill is always a lot of fun, whether you learn how to knit, speak Japanese, or fix a car. Conventional wisdom suggests that music helps reduce stress and kills a bad mood. Listen to music you really like when you feel stressed, then make music a part of your life, a habit.  Take the stress as a 'cue' which will remind you to bring music into your life. Stress(cue) leads to listening to music (routine) which, in turn, creates a better mood. Being a positive thinker is a great way to put a new spin on the same old thing and to, therefore, open the door to having more fun. Your whole life will brighten: daily routine, friends, and goals will be more attractive once you learn to embrace the best in every situation. So, stop obsessing over all of the little things that can go wrong and think more positively:  Recognize everything you're grateful for. Write down all of the things you love about your life and the people in it. This will make you feel more upbeat as you go on with your day. Think of the best-case scenario instead of the worst-case scenario....

Article in English: You may not believe your behavior was completely in the wrong, so instead of looking at the situation as a whole, focus on specific aspects. You may not have done everything wrong, but it isn't likely you did everything right. Find areas of improvement and own them. Your parents will appreciate your ability to admit you were wrong as a sign of maturity. This will help them forgive you more quickly. Do not argue fault or try to deny wrongdoing. Your parents may see this as immature and take even longer to forgive you. to your parents and others you may have hurt. Showing remorse is important to help anyone forgive. When giving an apology, acknowledge the hurtful behavior, why it was wrong and how it affected others. This will demonstrate you understand what you did wrong and validate your parents' feelings.  Try structuring the apology stating the effects of your behavior first. This will show others you are most remorseful about hurting them. For example, "I'm sorry worried and disappointed you by sneaking out. My behavior was irresponsible and inconsiderate; I assure you it won't happen again." Always be sincere when apologizing. Insincere apologies will probably be interpreted as sarcasm and make the situation worse. If you struggle with personal apologies, try writing it in a letter. Make a genuine effort to compensate the offended parties. Depending on what happened, this may not be possible, but a good faith attempt is usually enough to buy considerable goodwill with parents. You might consider working off debt or providing physical labor to help restore damaged property.

Article in English: You may notice that your dark circles are more obvious on nights when you get little sleep. That’s because a lack of sleep usually makes your skin paler so the darkness under your eyes stands out more. Make an effort to get enough sleep every night to minimize the look of dark circles.  Adults typically need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep a night. Teenagers typically need between 8 and 10 hours of sleep a night. Certain foods can cause puffiness and bloating that lead to dark circles under the eyes. It’s best to stay away from overly salty foods, alcohol, and carbonated drinks if you want to get rid of your dark circles.  Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water can help reduce puffiness and bloating too. Aim for about 8 glasses of water a day. Certain foods also improve blood flow to the skin, which can help reduce dark circles. Try to incorporate foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as walnuts, salmon, soybeans, and spinach, in your diet. When you lie down at night, fluids can accumulate under your eyes and make the area appear darker. By elevating your head slightly as you sleep, you can keep those fluids from building up. Add an extra pillow to your bed to help prop up your head as you sleep.

Article in English: You may now have severe pain spreading to your face, neck, jaw, or the side of your head that is affected by the advanced ear infection. You should see your doctor right away or go to the emergency room if you have severe symptoms. You will likely now have complete blockage of your ear canal, reducing your ability to hear out of the infected ear. The redness of your ear will increase and your outer ear may now be swollen and red. As the infection increases, the lymphatic system in your body will be activated to fight. Swelling in the lymph nodes in your neck therefore indicate an increased progression of infection. Use the middle 3 fingers of your hand to check your lymph nodes. Press gently down the sides of your neck and under your jaw line for swelling. As the infection begins to affect your body to a greater extent, your body will be working harder to fight off the infection. One way your body does this is by raising your temperature to make the environment inhospitable to infections.  A fever will generally be anything over 37.3C or 99F. There are different ways to monitor a fever, including using tympanic, or ear, thermometers. If you have an ear infection, be sure to take your temperature in the opposite ear. The infection will naturally increase the temperature in the affected ear so you want to be sure you get a true reading of your body temperature.

Article in English: You may still want to wear makeup, especially if you prefer neutral tones. There are techniques for using makeup without having the appearance that you are wearing any. The key is to apply skin products that blend together the colors you choose. Make sure any product you use is a color that is not far off your natural skin tone.  Use a tinted moisturizer to slightly alter your skin complexion while keeping it looking natural. Use a powder to conceal any minor imperfections. Try a soft brownish eyeliner to bring out your eyes without looking like you are wearing makeup. Beautiful eyebrows can be emphasized to complement or off-set your other facial features. Use a pencil to bring out the shape and fill in any gaps. Finally, comb them upward to make them more striking. Try applying a black gel liner to the upper lines of your eyelashes. Stop before you get to the center of your face, by a half inch or so. This will help your eyelashes stand out. You don't have to go to the salon once a week to have great looking hair. There are many ways to style your hair quickly and easily if it is long enough. For example, you can put a headband on top of your head, then use a hair tie to make a quick pony tail, and twist it into a bun.

Скройте свой макияж. Подведите брови. Акцентируйте внимание на ресницах. Попробуйте сделать быструю и простую укладку.


Article in English: You may struggle to identify the physical cues that are signs of different emotions, but all humans are born with this ability. Just like any other skill, if you take the time to practice reading people's emotions, you will get better at it.  Observe people in a crowded place (like a mall, nightclub, or park) and try to identify how they are feeling. Try using context, body language, and expressions to figure out who is feeling shy, stressed, excited, and so on.  Read up on body language, especially facial expressions, and how it corresponds to different emotions. Sadness, for instance, is characterized by drooping eyelids, a slight pulling down of the lip corners, and a raised inner brow.  Put on a soap opera and try to identify the emotions the actors are portraying. Use context clues, facial expressions, and body language. Mute the television so you can't get clues from the dialogue. Once you feel you've got it down, move on to more subtle dramas in which the actors use nuanced expressions to convey emotion. You may come off as insensitive because showing emotion makes you feel uncomfortable an awkward. Instead of saying something that might sound stilted or insincere when you see someone is upset, you remain quiet. Accept that it might sound forced when you offer condolences to your friend, "I'm so sorry to hear that...", but know that it will become more natural if you push through and keep trying. To you, sadness may seem pointless, illogical, and self-indulgent. You may wonder why the person doesn't just think through the issue and figure out how to make it better. But emotions are an essential part of decision making, as is logic. Emotions can motivate you to change your life, as emotional discomfort is often an impetus to get out of a rut.  Emotions are essential to making connections and healthy, successful social interactions.  Remember that emotions are simply part of being human. Even if you don't understand them or think they're pointless, be aware that most people don't feel that way. ...

Summary in Russian:

Тренируйтесь понимать эмоции других. Научитесь проявлять обеспокоенность. Осознайте необходимость эмоций. Поймите собственные эмоции.


Article in English: You may think that you and your partner need to do absolutely everything together in order to live a happily married life. However, if you really want to maintain your bond, then you have to keep up some level of independence. If you and your partner do absolutely everything together and have no time to develop your own interests, then you are likely to become codependent and to lose a sense of your own identities.  If you both spend time pursuing your own hobbies and interests, then you’ll continue and grow as people. You don’t want to be the exact same person you are now twenty years from now, do you? Plus, if you and your spouse spend more time apart, then you’ll be able to appreciate the time you spend together more. It’s easier to take each other for granted when you’re always together. You don’t have to bring your spouse along every time you hang out with your friends just because you’re married. Though you both should be integrated in each other’s social lives, it’s important to make time for “guy time” or “girl time” too, so you continue to build your friendships and your support network. If you want your marriage to last, then you have to keep making an effort to be romantic. While things will change after you’ve been with your spouse for a long time or when you have children together, you should still make an effort to make each other feel special, to have date nights, and to keep courting each other long after you’ve said your vows. This can help keep your marriage feeling exciting, sexy, and fun. Here are some things you can do:  Make sure to keep up with your date nights. Whether you have a date night every week or every other week, keep your dates with your spouse and make sure you don’t do the same old thing every time. Find time for romance even when you’re at home. Whether you’re watching a romantic comedy or making dinner together with candles lit everywhere, it’s important to keep things feeling exciting even when you’re just at home from time to time. Try writing each other really...

Summary in Russian:

Уважайте личное пространство друг друга. Сохраните романтику в отношениях. Ищите компромиссы. Знакомьтесь с друзьями и родственниками друг друга. Будьте рядом в радости и горе. Контролируйте свои ожидания. Учитесь развиваться вместе.


Article in English: You may use a stopwatch, a clock with a second hand, or an online timing tool to keep track of the frequency and duration of your contractions. Have a pencil and paper handy as well so that you can record the numbers and recognize patterns.  Use a precise timer, rather than a digital clock without seconds. Since contractions often last under a minute, it's important to be able to time them to the second. Make a chart to help you easily record the data. Create a column titled "Contractions," one titled "Time Started" and a third titled "Time Ended." Include a fourth column called "Duration" to calculate how long each contraction lasts, and a fifth column called "Time Between Contractions" to calculate the length of time elapsed between the beginning of one contraction and the beginning of the next one. Do not start in the middle or at the end of an already-occurring contraction. If you-or whoever is experiencing the contractions-are in the middle of a contraction when you decide to start timing them, wait for the next contraction to begin. When you feel your abdomen tighten, start the timer or begin watching the clock and jot down the time in the "Time Started" column.  The more accuracy you can provide, the better. For example, instead of writing "10 PM," write "10:03:30 PM." If the contraction did start exactly at 10 PM, then write "10:00:00 PM." When the pain subsides, and the contraction ends, record the exact moment it stopped. Again, include as much information and accuracy as you can.  Now that the first contraction is over, you can fill in the "Duration" column. For example, if the contraction began at 10:03:30 and ended at 10:04:20, the duration of the contraction was 50 seconds. Record other information about the contraction, such as where the pain began, what it felt like, and so on. This could be useful as the contractions continue and you begin to notice patterns. Subtract the start time of the previous contraction from the start time of this contraction and you'll know how far apart your...

Summary in Russian:

Определите, какой прибор вы будете использовать для наблюдения за временем в течение схваток. Зафиксируйте время в начале сокращения. Запишите время начала схватки. Запишите время завершения схватки. Запишите время, когда начнется следующая схватка.


Article in English: You may want to practice nudism as a family because you want you, your spouse, and your children to feel free and at peace with your own bodies. This is a great motive, but before you embark on this journey, you should be aware that there are some dissenters out there who think that it may be unethical to raise your children as nudists — some even go as far as to call it sexual abuse. At the end of the day, you should decide what's right for your family while making sure that your children don't do anything that they aren't comfortable with. If you want your whole family to transition to being nudists, especially if you have young children, then you have to play your cards right. You can't just go from wearing ten layers of clothing to all of a sudden asking everyone to undress. Instead, you should encourage your family members to wear less clothes and even to be nude more, so you get comfortable with each other's bodies before taking the leap.  If your children are nude during bath time, don't make it a big deal that they're not wearing clothes. You can even encourage your kids to spend more time in the nude, if they are comfortable doing so after play time. Of course, once you start doing this, you have to make it clear that this is what your dynamics will be like, but not what the outside world expects. Let your kids see that being nude at home is acceptable while it may not be in the world at large. If you want to practice nudism as a family, then you have to make people feel confident in who they are and how they look. Make them feel beautiful, don't laugh at their bodies, and give them compliments to make them feel like they are wonderful people both inside and out. Though nudism is not sexual and it's not about telling your husband he looks great naked, you should encourage people to be who they are without apology. Just maintaining a positive environment in your household can go a long way in encoring your family members to be in the buff. Though healthy criticism is a good thing, you should focus on...

Summary in Russian:

Знайте, что вопрос о нудизме в семейных условиях считается спорным. Для начала постарайтесь поощрять обнажение. Помогите членам своей семьи почувствовать уверенность. Постарайтесь добиться естественности нудизма в своем доме. Сделайте нудизм удобным. Практикуйте нудизм всей семьей.


Article in English: You may want to try one of the simplest DIY remedies before resorting to storebought creams, particularly if money is a concern. Washing your face is a remarkably effective way to clear up your skin.  If you have dirt and bacteria in your skin, hot water will open your pores, making it easier to clean the gunk out. Using a gently soaked face towel should do the trick. The water should be hot, but not so hot that it's painful to apply to your face. Chances are, you already have everything you need to make a sugar-based exfoliator at home!  First, mix two tablespoons of sugar into 2 tablespoons of water. Once fully mixed, add another tablespoon of sugar and stir again. Drain out some of the excess water from your sugar mixture. Following that, splash some water on your face, and rub the mixture on each cheek in a circular motion for one minute each. If you're the DIY type, you can approximate a good toner at home with a lemon. Get about ten drops of lemon juice on your hands after you wash your face.  Smear the drops on your face and wipe away after a few seconds. This should attend to the dirt particles your cleanser may have missed. Make sure to keep the lemon juice away from your eyes. The resulting irritation may be painful if applied carelessly. Apple cider vinegar is a great alternative toner if you don't want to use lemon juice. This will comprise the end of your 'ritual'. This will close your facial pores again and keep dirt and bacteria from getting in, thus keeping your skin clear. Think of this step like patching up an airlock; now that you've opened up your skin and cleared out the muck, you'll want to close your pores back up again so your progress isn't undone. If ice cubes aren't available, a splash of cold water across the face should do, although it won't likely be as effective as the method above. By making a bi-daily routine of this process, you're effectively doubling the amount of progress you can make in getting clearer skin, than if you were just doing it once in the morning. Making sure...

Умывайтесь горячей водой каждое утро. Приготовьте очищающий скраб для лица на основе сахара. Приготовьте тоник для лица на основе лимона. Завершите процедуру, протерев лицо кубиком льда. Повторяйте вышеуказанные шаги дважды в день в течение недели. Регулярно ухаживайте за вашей кожей.


Article in English: You might be tempted to join a conversation and say a bunch of made-up stuff to make yourself look smart, but actually that makes you come off as phony. If you don’t know anything about a subject, don’t make it obvious by making stuff up. Instead, listen. You’ll actually learn! Then you can politely steer the conversation toward a topic that you know something about. Don’t change the topic to boast about yourself. Instead, switch it to a topic that you’re comfortable discussing. Like, “oh, that reminds me of a conversation I had with my grandfather. He had such an interesting life. He used to…” When there’s a conversation about something that you don’t know much about, you can still look intelligent. Nobody knows everything, but smart people know how to ask insightful questions that take the conversation out of small-talk and into something more meaningful. For instance, if someone is describing an experience they had, you can ask, “How do you feel like that experience changed the way you interact with people today?” or if they are describing a book they read, you can ask, “What most stood out to you about the book?” This might seem like a simple one, but it will actually make you stand out in a crowd. Many people think that they don’t have time to read, but you don’t actually need a huge chunk of time to read a book. Bring along a book in your backpack or purse, and take it out whenever you would normally start swiping through your phone: in line, on the bus, on the train, waiting for a friend to show up. Choose a genre that you actually enjoy reading, and it won’t feel like a chore.  Not only will you look smart by reading a book in public, but you will actually get smarter by exposing yourself to new worlds, words and ideas. Try to read before you go to sleep instead of watching television. It will calm your brain for bed better than watching bright lights and moving pictures. Just don’t read anything too sad or scary right before bed! Don’t feel like you have to read a newspaper front-to-back every day to...

Article in English: You might feel like you have hair stuck in your throat although there really isn't anything there. Other issues can cause the uncomfortable feeling. To soothe your throat, fill a glass with warm water and stir in salt until it dissolves. Gargle with the salt water to make your throat feel better. Studies also suggest that gargling can prevent or reduce common cold symptoms. Toxins and particles from smoking can irritate the lining of your throat. This irritation might feel like hair that's trapped in your throat. Try to cut back on how much you smoke every day to reduce throat irritation and smoker's cough. If you have acid reflux, acids from your stomach move back up into your throat. This acid can irritate your throat, especially if it reaches your vocal cords. When this happens, the acid can make it feel as though something is stuck in your throat. Ask your doctor about the best treatments for your acid reflux. If you're also experiencing hoarseness, coughing, or you clear your throat often, you may have a type of reflux called laryngeal pharyngeal reflux. If you're having an allergic reaction to something you've eaten, you may have trouble swallowing, feel like there's something stuck in your throat, or your tongue might feel hairy. Follow your allergy treatment plan or contact your doctor immediately. The doctor may recommend that you take an antihistamine to block the allergen.

Article in English: You might feel trapped with the person you live with because they’re your family, you’re underage, or because you signed a lease with them. Think of some alternatives, even if they’re temporary. While you may feel stuck, there may be some options that could help you. Brainstorm some alternatives and see if they’re doable.  For example, if you live at home, see if you can spend one night a week with your cousins or spend a summer with your aunt. If you have a lease with someone, you may be able to find a different roommate or you may need to break the lease and pay a fine. If you can crash at a friend's house temporarily, do so. While this isn’t ideal, it can help create space and give you some time apart from the person you live with. Removing yourself from the situation can help you clear your head and think about ways to resolve the situation or improve your living conditions.  For example, if you live with one parent, ask if you can live with the other or spend more time at their house. Or, see if you can attend more sleepovers with a best friend. This is a temporary solution. Use it only to gain clarity and help you problem-solve. If the situation has become unbearable and you can’t imagine living with the person any longer, consider your options for moving out. You may not be able to move out immediately, but you can plan for when you can. If you care about the person, think about whether remaining to live together will be better or worse in the long run for your relationship. If moving out will save your relationship, it might be a good option.  Moving out may not be feasible if you are under 18, lack financial resources, and/or depend on your family. You may need to find a temporary situation while you look for a new place or gather funds.

Обдумайте свои варианты. Временно поживите в другом месте. Если у вас есть запасной вариант — попробуйте съехать.


Article in English: You might find wildly different advice on what breastfeeding moms should and shouldn’t eat, and this is largely because cultural differences play a huge part. The most important thing is that you eat a nutrient-rich, varied diet. Scientifically, this is all you and your baby need.  For example, American moms are told never to eat garlic because it will make your baby refuse to drink, while moms in India are encouraged to eat garlic because it gets baby used to adult flavors and contains lots of great nutrients. Certainly, if one particular type of food seems to make your baby turn away from the breast for too long or gives the stomach problems, stop eating that food. But don’t let your mom-friends scare you away from half the food at the grocery store. Babies will often get used to strong or unusual tastes over time, so don’t worry if they refuse for a day or so. The one thing that biology says you will need is more calcium. You’re making milk, after all. If you don’t get enough calcium for you and your baby, then your body will start breaking down any calcium it can find. This means calcium-low moms end up with depleted, weaker bones, which is not what you want. Take a supplement and try to fit more calcium-rich foods into your diet.  The healthiest sources of calcium actually aren’t milk or dairy products, which are high in unhealthy fats. Instead, good sources of calcium for nursing moms include white beans, kale, and bok choy. 1000-1300 mg of calcium a day is recommended for breastfeeding moms. It’s a fact that the type of fat that you get in your diet also ends up in your breast milk. While it’s not the biggest concern, it certainly won’t hurt to make sure baby gets the healthiest fats and cholesterol possible. This means that you’ll want to eat foods rich in healthy fats, like sardines, avocado, olive oil, and soy. Bad sources of fats include butter, cheese, pork, and most of the usual “junk foods” (chips, cookies, etc.). Getting enough water is important no matter what, but do keep in mind that you’re...

Type into the box your current city, and if it doesn’t come up by the end, your state.  Only use map-cities.  In Facebook’s mindset, there isn’t a state of “Confusion” (if your city is Brilliant, and your state is Confusion, don’t type Brilliant Confusion, because neither will be found and you will later have added an incorrect unverifiable place. It will accept almost any city/state that is located globally too, but it may take a bit more typing, with the provinces and such.  So be forewarned. Type the location, like as you initially did for “Current City” above filling in the proper information here too.

Article in English: You might not be able to do this in all circumstances, such as when trying to get a sticker off a fridge. But if you're working on a table or countertop, you'll want to make sure to prevent spillage, as oil can stain some surfaces. This will prevent the oil from spilling. Be careful when placing the surface flat. If it's an appliance, such as a toaster, you'll want to make sure it's not balanced on a protruding piece. If balanced in such a way, it might shift as you work and cause a spill.

Article in English: You might not feel like eating when you’re nauseous, but swallowing some plain-tasting food may help absorb stomach acids and calm your stomach. If nothing else, you should avoid overly sweet, spicy, and fatty foods, which can trigger nausea. Help your body dilute acidic digestive juices and absorb nutrients by drinking a glass of water 1-2 hours before you eat. Then, sip some water with each meal if you continue to feel nauseous. This helps create softer bowel movements, which can ease constipation-related nausea. Let your food cool slightly or opt for raw fruits and veggies instead of hot foods when you’re feeling ill. Hot foods can have strong smells, which may worsen nausea or vomiting if you have a sensitive stomach. Foods with minimal smells, such as crackers, may be more palatable to you than foods with strong odors. Talk to a doctor about allergy testing if you notice that certain foods consistently make you feel nauseous. Skin testing can help pinpoint any food allergies that may be setting off your sickness.  Typically an allergist performs a scratch test to determine your sensitivity to different foods. It’s best to avoid taking antihistamines before your appointment for the most conclusive testing. Your doctor may also have you try a food elimination diet to see if you are sensitive to certain foods such as gluten, dairy, soy, peanuts, eggs, and corn. Opt for low-fiber foods, such as refined hot cereals or juices, if you notice your nausea worsens while working out. These foods digest quickly, moving out of your stomach faster.  Most people experience less nausea on an empty or partially-full stomach than a filled one. For example, if you’re prone to vomiting during track practice, try swapping a protein shake for your regular turkey sandwich. Your liquid lunch will get digested more quickly and is less likely to nauseate you. Water and other healthy fluids promote good digestion, which can help you avoid vomiting. Staying hydrated is especially important if you’ve been vomiting a lot, or are...

Article in English: You might not have an idea of what it means to be fashionable. If you're unsure what constitutes a fashionable style, spend some time learning about fashion itself. You can do this by seeking out advice from friends and evaluating your own personality.  If you're unfamiliar with fashion, reading up on the latest styles might not be helpful. You may have difficulty understanding language and terminology. Instead of reading, ask a fashionable friend to take you on a shopping trip. Allow him or her to help you pick fashionable outfits that flatter your body type.  Good fashion sense starts with your personality. Ideally, your choice in fashion should express something about you as a person. Try jotting down a list of personality traits and passions you would like to see conveyed by your wardrobe.  Try to pay attention to the design of clothing you try on and buy in stores. Who is the designer? What is his or her reputation in the fashion world? Why did he or she put a pocket on a particular place in a coat or pair of jeans? Why use two kinds of fabric instead of one? Try to do some research regarding these questions when you get home. Google the designer and read up on his or her artistic and professional goals. If you want to be more fashionable, one great way to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and styles is to follow a variety of fashion blogs. These websites can give you inspiration on how to become more fashionable.  Bookmark at least 3 fashion blogs or websites. Browse the sites a couple times a week and look for updates on fashion trends and styles.  Instagram can also be a great resource if you want to be more fashionable. Follow Instagram bloggers whose style you admire. You can also try searching hashtags like #ootd (outfit of the day) for inspiration for new styles. Trends come and go, but certain items will always be fashionable. Stock up on the basics and, from there, mix and match with accessories and other clothing items. For instance, a nice, clean, white tee is essential for both men and...
