Article in English: You can demonstrate a stubborn, strong-willed nature by being persistent and not taking “no” for an answer. Try to figure out a way to get what you want and satisfy the needs of others. Finding a way to get a “yes” means you are able to channel your aggression into productive results. For example, perhaps you are trying to apply for insurance coverage for a family member who is ill. Insurance companies can be difficult to deal with and may end up turning your application down. Rather than accept their “no”, you may call them persistently or calmly refuse to leave their office until the matter is resolved or you speak to an authority figure who can help you. Do not yell, berate, or bully — instead, remain calm and be very clear about what you want, avoiding abusive language. It's ok to stand your ground, but do not get inflamed over it. Having an assertive personality also means that you are not shy about your opinions or thoughts. You should be willing to openly state your feelings to others and not try to hide them. Being honest and upfront will show others that you are strong-willed. For example, you may have a co-worker who asks your opinion on how to best serve a picky client. Rather than brush off his question, you should state your opinion and tell the co-worker how you would address the issue. Offer to work with your co-worker to make the client happy, using your assertive personality for something productive and helpful. You should also stand up for what you believe in and demonstrate your strong will during an argument or a discussion. You should be willing to stick to your stance. This will show others that you are determined and willing to act assertively. For example, maybe you get in a heated debate about abortion rights with a friend. Rather than back down on your stance, you may decide to stand your ground and defend your position. Though you and your friend may agree to disagree in the end, at least you will have stood your ground and made it clear how you feel about the issue.

Summary in Russian:

Не принимайте отказов. Прямо выражайте свое мнение. Отстаивайте свою точку зрения в спорах и обсуждениях.


Article in English: You can design a flyer digitally with tools such as Photoshop or Microsoft Publisher. Alternatively, you could design a flyer with pen, pencil, markers, etc., and then photocopy the flier at a copy shop. It could be color in the writing, images, even the paper you print on. Color draws the eye and gets attention. Printing in grayscale on color paper can also be a cost-effective alternative to adding color to your flyers.  A color scheme can be very effective. Use a color wheel to come up with basic color harmonies. For example, you could stick to analogous colors (adjacent ones on the color wheel), like different shades of blues and greens. Or, you could use complementary colors, such as red and green.  A color matching the image you use in the flyer is even better. For example, if your picture shows a sunrise, you could use oranges and yellows. To make the yellow letters pop, they could be outlined in black. Flyer size depends in large part on the function of the flyer and your ability to produce flyers of a certain size. It’s easiest to print digital flyers on printer size paper (8.5 x 11 inches). So, your flyers can be that size, or you might want to cut them in half or quarters if your flyer doesn’t need to be as big (e.g. if it’s a handout). Your fliers can be any size, though, and you can make larger size flyers relatively easily if you’re going to a printer that prints that size. Are you planning on hanging your flyer inside on a bulletin board or outside on a telephone pole? Maybe you plan on handing out flyers at an event or in a busy part of town. Maybe you’re even using the flyers for a mailing. If the flyers are to be hung outdoors, consider printing on stronger paper and with waterproof ink.

Article in English: You can do it all together or break it up -- either way will give you enough exercise. You should be getting at least 150 minutes per week of moderate aerobic exercise, like walking. It depends on you and your fitness level. It’s also up to you what you hope to achieve with walking. If you’re doing it with someone else, do you want to be able to chat as you go? If you’re pushing a stroller, do you want to move fast or slow? Many smartphones now have pedometers built in, if you own one. There are also some great apps to help keep track of your walking and motivate you further. Check out the British Heart Foundation's website for some recommendations, including MapMyWalk, Viewranger, and Walkmeter GPS.  You can also think about getting a pedometer to analyze how far you are walking daily, weekly, and monthly. Keeping track can help motivate you to continue, increase your distance, and set new walking goals.  Some more elaborate fitness meters, such as the Fitbit, will also track things like your heart rate and sleep quality. Sometimes having a partner makes all the difference. Find someone who also likes to walk for exercise -- maybe even a co-worker who would like to walk to work or a neighbor who would be interested in a morning or evening walk. If you’re not in the mood, knowing that you have a walking date will usually make you get out there even if you’re feeling tired or lazy.

Article in English: You can do this by hand, in a simple computer document, or a database program like Excel. Start with your monthly income, then determine the cost of the following:  Rent. If possible, make sure your monthly rent is no more than 1/3 of your income. Recurring bills such as utilities, car payments and insurance, regular medication, phone, and Internet service. Food. Entertainment. Taxes. Consult the Internal Revenue Service website for all forms, worksheets, and questions related to your tax obligations. Set aside some money every month for emergencies if possible. You never know when you're going to need to travel or make use of emergency medical, dental, or maintenance service. Your credit rating is very important. It is a score many companies and organizations use to determine your eligibility for everything from a credit card, to a home or vehicle lease, to a bank or credit union loan. Most people start out adulthood with poor-to-middling credit. You can build good credit in a variety of ways.  Get a credit card and pay it off at least once a month. Demonstrating your ability to make regular payments strongly improves your credit reputation. If you are in debt, make good faith payments regularly. Government debt, like for student loans, can be adjusted to make payments easier, though loans from private organizations like banks can be harder to adjust. Consult a financial professional before making large purchases to ensure you can afford the expenditure. It is unsafe and wasteful to keep all of your money in a checking account. Savings accounts are more secure because they often are not attached to debit cards and checks that can be stolen. Savings accounts also have better interest rates so you will earn money more quickly.  Look for good rates. Not all banks and credit unions are the same. Feel free to shop around for the financial institution that meets your needs. Be careful of hidden fees. Many institutions charge monthly fees for services like debit cards and transfers.

Article in English: You can do this by opening Google's URL shortening site, typing https://www.facebook.com/ into the Your original URL here box at the top of the page, and clicking Shorten URL. After doing so, you'll simply copy the shortened version of the URL and paste it into your browser's address bar. If the network manager only blocked the official Facebook site, you may be able to browse the mobile version of the site right from your computer. While your workplace or school can patrol your internet connection, they probably can't monitor your phone's cellular data network. To use data, you'll need to turn off your phone's Wi-Fi and then open Facebook from there.  For an iPhone, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the Control Center and then tap the blue Wi-Fi icon. You may need to swipe right first if the Control Center opens to a music player. For an Android, open Settings, tap Wireless & Networks (on some phones, this may just be a heading rather than a folder) and then slide the Wi-Fi switch left. You can also open the mobile version of Facebook in your phone's browser while using data if you don't have the Facebook app. Many iPhones and Android phones have a hotspot setting that allows your phone to act as a miniature router. Once your phone's hotspot is enabled, you can connect to it by selecting your phone's name from the available networks section of your computer and entering the hotspot password listed on your phone.  For an iPhone, open Settings, tap Personal Hotspot near the top of the page, and slide the Personal Hotspot switch right. The hotspot password is listed on this page as well. For an Android, open the Wireless & Networks section of the Settings menu, tap the Portable Hotspot option, make sure Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot is checked, and tap the Hotspot Settings option.

Article in English: You can do this easily if you're doing a quick coverage of gray hair and if the shade varies only slightly from your natural color. Anything more complicated should be handled at a salon.  Rub petroleum jelly around your hairline to keep the dye from staining your skin. Set your timer per the directions on the dye package. Wash the color out immediately and all at once when the timer goes off. If you plan to visit a salon for a dye job, then do not use box dyes. They contain harsh chemicals that can damage your hair.   Deep condition your hair a couple of days before your appointment. Moisturizing your hair will help it to hold color better. Also, if you can hold off, don't shampoo on the day of your appointment.  Bring a picture. You can tell your stylist "strawberry blonde," but he or she might have a very different vision of what that means than you do. A picture clarifies what you want. Keep your hair healthy and moisturized. Dry hair loses color quickly. Protect your hair when you head outside in the sun. Wear a hat or a scarf, or put your hair into a braid or a knot. You can also use products that contain SPF.

Article in English: You can do this many different ways, and usually, lots of things you do will work together to prove to your friend that you consider him/her a good friend. The following are things you should always work to do:  Be reliable and dependable. Be honest. Be yourself. Support your friend. Include your friend. Celebrate your friend's accomplishments. Help your friend when he/she needs it. If your friend asks you to hang out, but you already have other plans or an obligation, let him/her know. Then, suggest another day to hang out instead. Suggesting another opportunity to hang out proves to your friend that you do want to spend time with him/her and that you like doing so. No matter how much you and your friend have in common, arguments and disagreements are bound to come up at some point. Work through these bumps in the road with your friend.  Apologize when you need to do so. If you are in the wrong, then it is important to take responsibility for your actions. Offer ideas for how you and your friend can fix the problem instead of expecting him/her to fix it. Even if you and your friend are very similar, you are not the same person. Sometimes, you might need to try to understand an issue or an event from his/her perspective.  Try to understand why this issue bothers or upsets him/her. What about it is upsetting? Do not brush it off if it is something that does not bother you. Instead, try to talk your friend through it and come up with strategies for dealing with the situation. Sometimes, he/she might not want your help or want your involvement in every aspect of his/her life. It is important to respect that and to give your friend the space he/she needs.  Even if you or your friend moves away, it is possible to maintain a good friendship. Keep in contact when you can and show your friend that you respect his/her needs. Let your friend know that you are still there for him/her, even while space is needed. Understand that you and your friend do not need to spend time together every day. You both have your own...

Article in English: You can do this using the hottest setting on a washing machine, or with water heated up in a kettle. If you decide to use a kettle, set your sweatpants in the sink and pour the hot water over them, being careful not to burn yourself. You may need to do this a few times to make sure the pants are completely saturated. If you washed the pants in the washing machine, you may be able to skip this step. However, if you used a kettle or if there is excess water in the fabric from the wash, you’ll want to get rid of it before drying the pants. Be careful not to wring them out or twist the fabric, as this may cause the fabric to stretch again. You can do this on a tiled bathroom or kitchen floor, outside on a deck or patio, on an ironing board, or on top of your washer or dryer. Some hair dryers only have one setting, while others have both a heat and speed setting. It’s best to use one that has multiple heat options, as this will allow you to use a higher temperature to dry your pants. Take your time with each section. Hold the hair dryer a few inches from the sweatpants to make sure the hot air is hitting them directly. If there’s a part of the sweatpants you specifically want to shrink (such as the waistband), this method allows you to pay special attention to that area. Follow the same process you used to dry the first side. Take your time and make sure the pants are completely dry before you turn your hair dryer off. The more heat you apply, the better your results will be.

Article in English: You can do this with a sanding sponge or with a piece of sandpaper; a sanding sponge will work the best on curved surfaces, however. Also, make sure that you are sanding with the grain of the wood, not across it. Some wooden pieces from craft stores come pre-sanded. If the surface area is completely smooth, skip this step. For an even smoother finish, you can sand the first coat of primer, wipe it clean, then apply more primer over it. Do this a few more times until there no ridges remain.

Article in English: You can draw your own design, create a design using digital image software, or find a pre-made design.  If creating or using a digital design, you will need to print the design out before you can use it. Print the design on heavy paper for best results. Similarly, if drawing the design by hand, you should sketch it out onto heavy paper instead of sketching it out directly onto your stencil material. The easiest option is to use ready-made stencils, of course, but this option will also provide you with fewer design options. Place the design over a patch of pennant felt. Trace around the edges of the design with a pencil to transfer it onto the felt.  Pennant felt is one of the best materials to use since it is durable and capable of absorbing excess paint. Cardstock, photo paper, and freezer paper can also be used but may produce messier results. When using ready-made stencils, you can trace the design without taking any additional steps. If using your own images, you will need to cut around the lines of the image to create a temporary stencil. After doing that, you can trace these newly created edges onto the felt. Place a cutting mat beneath the pennant felt, then carefully cut along the traced lines. Remove the scraps of material to reveal the finished stencil. For most designs, a hobby knife or utility knife should work adequately well. Detailed designs tend to look better when cut out with a stencil burner, however. Flip the stencil over to its back and lightly coat it with repositionable spray adhesive.  The adhesive should help the stencil stay in place on the t-shirt. Make sure that you choose repositionable or temporary adhesive, though. Do not use permanent adhesive. For best results, allow the spray adhesive to dry for a few minutes before continuing to the next step. Doing so should prevent any residue from sticking to the shirt after you remove the stencil. Place the stencil adhesive-side down onto the t-shirt in the desired location. Press firmly to help the stencil adhere to the t-shirt.  After...

Article in English: You can dust the parchment paper with powdered sugar to ensure the cake won't stick to the paper. Carefully turn the baking sheet over and turn the cake upside down over the paper. Use a spatula to help dislodge it from the pan if necessary. Remove the parchment paper from the cake. The cake should finish cooling in a rolled-up shape, so that it doesn't fall apart when you finish assembling it later. Lay a clean dishcloth over the cake. Gently begin rolling the cake, starting with one of the short sides, until the entire cake is in the form of a jelly roll. Let the cake finish cooling while you mix up the filling. Place the cream cheese in a mixing bowl and beat it until it becomes light and fluffy in texture. Add the butter and continue beating until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Place the powdered sugar in the bowl and keep beating. Taste the mixture and add more sugar if you desire. Pour in the vanilla and keep beating the filling until it has a smooth, spreadable consistency. Add more vanilla if you need to thin it out.

White latex paint Sandpaper, sanding block, or orbital sander Water Water based polyurethane, if you want a sealant. A cloth A bucket or container Paintbrush Whitewash looks best on raw wood so you need to use sandpaper, a sanding block, or an orbital sander to sand down the furniture. This will remove any finish already on the furniture for the whitewash paint to create the look you’re wanting. You need to remove all of the sawdust from sanding before painting the whitewash on the furniture to ensure a smooth finish. Use a dry tack cloth to wipe down the furniture and remove any dust on it. Add one part paint to one part water in a bucket or container, and mix well. This will thin down the latex paint making it look more like traditional whitewash when you paint it on the furniture by letting the natural wood grain show through the paint. Use a paintbrush to paint the whitewash onto the furniture using long brush strokes that follow the wood grain. Apply thin coats for the best results.  Work in small sections because whitewash dries quickly. Allow the paint to dry completely, and then add more coats until you reach your desired look. If desired, after the paint dries. you can paint a water-based polyurethane on the furniture to create a sealant and a finish. This is optional, but may make the whitewash look last longer. Choose between a matte or satin finish.

Article in English: You can either do this as a formal outline or just plan it in your head, but you need to decide how to present your material for best effect. If you are writing this paper for the AP test, know that the graders will be looking for a specific structure. This structure is as follows:  The introductory paragraph: 1. An introductory sentence that acts as a hook, capturing the reader's interest. 2. Identification of the issue you will be discussing. 3. Your thesis statement. The body paragraphs: 1. Topic sentence that gives one reason to support your thesis. 2. Your explanation and opinion of the topic sentence. 3. Support from your sources that backs up the claim you just made. 4. Explanation of the significance of the source(s). The conclusion paragraph: 1. State further significance of your topic from the evidence and reasons you discussed in the essay. 2. A profound thought or thoughtful ending for your paper. If you are not writing this argumentative synthesis essay for the AP test, you should plan to use a more elaborate structure than the one listed above. You can use one or more of these approaches to develop your essay:  Example/illustration. This may be a detailed recount, summary, or direct quote from your source material that provides major support for your point of view. You may use more than one example or illustration, if your paper calls for it. You should not, however, make your paper a series of examples at the expense of supporting your thesis.  Straw man. With this technique, you present an argument opposed to the argument stated in your thesis, then show the weaknesses and flaws of the counter-argument. This format shows your awareness of the opposition and your readiness to answer it. You present the counter-argument right after your thesis, followed by the evidence to refute it, and end with a positive argument that supports your thesis.  Concession. Essays with concessions are structured similar to those using the straw man technique, but they acknowledge the validity of the...

Article in English: You can either position your paper vertically or horizontally when you start drawing the Eiffel Tower. Work lightly in pencil to add a line down the center of your paper to use as a guide. Be sure to leave a small gap at the top and the bottom of the sheet so you have room to add some details later. Start one of your curved lines on the right side of the guide you drew earlier. Leave a small gap between the guide and the curved line at the end. As you draw the line toward the bottom of your paper, make the curve get further away from the line. Make another curved line that’s symmetrical to the first one on the other side of the guide. Your drawing will look similar to a triangle with curved sides. The perspective of the drawing resembles standing near the base of the Eiffel Tower and looking up at it. Measure a third of the way down the length of the guide line and make a narrow horizontal rectangle that extends slightly past the curved lines on each side. Then measure another third down the center guide so you know where to place the next rectangle. Make the second rectangle about twice as thick and long as the first one so it looks like it’s closer to you. The rectangles are the bottoms of the Eiffel Tower’s viewing platforms. The curves on the bottom will be the arch that spans between the tower’s legs. Start from the center guide just below the bottom rectangle and curve it out until it’s parallel with the first sweeping curve you made on the side. Repeat the process on the other side of the tower so the arch is symmetrical. Make another curved line just underneath the first one so it looks like an archway. Start the base of the triangle on top of the lowest rectangle about a third of the way in from each end. Make a curved line up from the lower rectangle that’s parallel with the outer curve of the tower so it goes through the top rectangle. End the line halfway between the top rectangle and the end of the guide line. Draw the other side of the triangle coming up from the other side to form a point on...

Article in English: You can either simply set it on a table, counter, any other completely flat surface, or attach it to a tripod using rubber bands or tape. Because of the sensitivity of the shutter, you need the camera to be extremely still as you take photos. For film, you only need to expose the camera to light for a few seconds, but photographic film can take up to a few minutes.  If using film, the duration of exposure depends on the ISO of the film. The higher the ISO, the shorter the exposure time. For 400 ISO film, you will expose it to light for between 2 and 12 seconds depending on the brightness of the external light. For 100 ISO film, the exposure time can range between 8 and 48 seconds, and for 50 ISO film, the exposure time may range between 16 seconds and 1 minute and 36 seconds.  If using photographic paper, the exposure time will most likely range from one minute to several minutes, though there are photo paper products made specifically for longer exposures, even up to several months! You will have to practice to determine the exposure time that works for you, but remember the general rule of thumb for exposure time: the brighter the external light, the shorter the exposure time. Remember to account for the distance between the pinhole and the viewfinder by aiming a bit lower than you might perceive.

Article in English: You can either use a microwave-safe bowl or create a double boiler. Stir the chocolate to make sure everything is melted evenly. Prick them in the center, just enough to pick them up from the parchment paper and hold.  If you're wanting to present the cake balls on a stick, it's recommended to use lollipop sticks, which can be found in specialty baking aisles. Dip about 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) of the stick into the melted chocolate prior to inserting them into the cake balls. If you're wanting to present the cake balls in decorative individual wrappers, poke them with toothpicks. While holding the lollipop stick or toothpick, submerge the cake ball into the melted chocolate. When lifting it back up, gently lift them in a swirling motion or give them a gentle shake. If you are using toothpicks, remove them from the balls. Add a very small amount of extra melted chocolate to cover the holes. You can use the back of a spoon to evenly spread out any extra coating as well.

Article in English: You can find an online calculator, or you can use the following formulas, depending on your gender:  Women: BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)  Men: BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in year) Once you have calculated your BMR, you can estimate your total calorie needs for different levels of activity.  Decreasing your metabolism means you are "turning down" your body's internal furnaces, which lowers your calorie requirements. Use your BMR to make the following calculations. If you:  Are inactive or exercise rarely: Calories to stay the same weight = BMR x 1.2  Exercise lightly 1 to 3 days per week: Calories to stay the same weight = BMR x 1.375  Exercise moderately for 3 to 5 days per week: Calories to stay the same weight = BMR x 1.55  Exercise actively for 6 to 7 days per week: Calories to stay the same weight = BMR x 1.725  Exercise intensely every day: Calories to stay the same weight = BMR x 1.9

Article in English: You can find child-sized versions of both acoustic and electric guitars, and beginner's models typically will be roughly the same price. Talk to the child about what kind of music they enjoy and want to play. This can help you choose between acoustic and electric.  Generally, if the child enjoys singer-songwriter, folk, and country music, they probably will feel more at home with an acoustic guitar. Kids who are more into rock music typically will want an electric guitar. Electric guitars can be easier to play than acoustic because the action is lower. Since there is less space between the strings and the fretboard, little fingers don't have to work as hard to play. With electric guitars, you also have the option of plugging headphones into the amp for silent practice. This can be helpful if you are concerned about disturbing neighbors or other people in the house. If the guitar is too large for the child, playing will be frustrating. Guitars are typically measured by scale. Start with the size recommended for the child's age, but don't be afraid to go up a size if the child has larger hands or is taller than average.  Get a 1/4 size guitar if the child is 4-6 years old. Get a 1/2 size guitar if the child is 6-9 years old. Get a 3/4 size guitar if the child is 9-11 years old. A full-size guitar is appropriate for children 12 years old or older. To start playing a guitar, your child will need several picks, a metronome, a tuner, and probably a capo for simplified chords. Get these accessories together and let the child help pick them out.  For example, the child can pick out fun picks in cool colors with cartoons or images on them that they like. Having fun accessories will help motivate the child to play. You can download metronome and tuner apps for a tablet or smart phone. If you're going to use these, make sure the child will have unlimited access to the device whenever they want to practice. A number of major guitar manufacturers, such as Gibson and Fender, put out beginner's kits that come with all the...

Article in English: You can find inspiration from erotic stories -- many's the woman who has thrilled to 50 Shades of Grey -- but it can also be a good idea to consult some "how-to" manuals on how to improve your sex life. Look for books written by sex experts. It can also be helpful to look for resources that are geared toward where you are in life; there are resources available for LGBT individuals, older individuals, etc. The American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy recommends the "Better Sex" video series by the Sinclair Institute. Some causes of sexual dysfunction have medical causes, especially for men. Erectile dysfunction, for example, is commonly caused by conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or obesity, although stress can also cause it. If you're experiencing physical problems that are interfering with your sex life, talk to your doctor. Many conditions that cause sexual dysfunction are very treatable. Don't feel embarrassed about going to your physician; sex issues are very common and your doctor likely deals with them all the time. Sometimes, a couple has issues with their sex life that they can't seem to solve on their own. This is perfectly natural. If you continue having sexual problems, seeing a couple therapist who specializes in sex therapy can help. A sex therapist (or couple therapist with sex therapy training) knows what kinds of questions to ask to help the two of you discover what may be causing your issues in the bedroom. It can be immensely embarrassing to talk to a stranger about your sex life, but sex therapists are held to the same rules of confidentiality as all mental health professionals. They're there to help you, and will not judge you or discuss your issues with anyone else.

Article in English: You can find rubbing alcohol at your local drugstore or pharmacy. Gently dab it on and let it sit for two minutes. Never rub anything into a pen stain, as rubbing may cause the stain to sink in and spread more. Always dab onto a stain instead. Apply pressure with your hand to encourage more of the ink to lift off the stained garment. Periodically check the cloth for ink to see if the rubbing alcohol is working. You should start to see some of the ink transferring from the stained garment onto the cloth. Make sure you've lifted all of the ink you can using the cloth. You can do this by hand in the sink with detergent or by using a machine. Once the garment’s been washed, check to see if the stain is gone. Keep trying to lift more and more of the ink off the garment using rubbing alcohol and a cloth. If the rubbing alcohol stops working, you may need to try a different method to remove the stain.

Article in English: You can find them online and in well-stocked craft stores. Resin typically needs a catalyst to set. Some resin kits include this catalyst; the bottles are usually labeled "Part A" and "Part B." If you bought the resin just by itself, check the label to see if it needs a catalyst. If it does you will need to purchase it separately.  You can find basic, clear resin in an arts and crafts store. Read up on the type of resin you are buying. Some types of resin turn opaque after they cure. Others turn a different color. Resin sets quickly, so have everything laid out and ready to go. Choose an area with adequate ventilation. Next, cover your work surface with newspaper or a cheap tablecloth. Put on a pair of gloves. Set out you stir sticks, button mold, and any additives. This includes things like resin dyes, glitter, and confetti. High-humidity levels can sometimes affect curing times or cause resin to cure improperly. Plan on making your buttons on a dry day. Most resins come in two parts, and need to be mixed in a 1:1 ratio. Some resins are different however, so be sure that you read the mixing instructions carefully. If you don't use the correct amounts, the resin may not cure properly. Typically, however, you will need to pour Part A and Part B into separate mixing cups, then pour Part A into Part B, then stir it together with a stick  If you wish to dye the resin, do so during this step. Follow the instructions on the dye package, as each brand may be different. If you plan on making a lot of buttons, consider mixing only small amounts of resin at a time. Resin sets quickly, and it may harden before you finish filling all of the molds. Hold the cup close to the mold, and pour the resin in slowly. This will help prevent splatters and air bubbles. Do not overfill the mold. If you do, you will end up covering the button holes.  If there are any air bubbles, gently blow on the resin.  Consider adding some glitter or confetti into the resin after you pour it into the mold. If you need to, use a toothpick to stir...

Article in English: You can find these at most department and cosmetic supply stores.  There will probably be many different varieties of available. All other things being equal, hot waxing kits work tend to work best for the back because they can cover a larger area.   Note: Waxing will leave your back red and sensitive, so start this method at least 24 hours before you want to show it off. This is usually easiest in the shower. This is an important step — the wax has a much easier time grabbing your hair if it is free of sweat and oil. After showering, be sure to dry your back thoroughly. For most hot waxes, you'll need to heat the wax up (usually in the microwave). The temperature of the wax should be warm, but not painfully hot. Different products will have slightly different sets of instructions. Use the included waxing stick (or a clean spatula) to spread the wax in the direction of hair growth. Work in small patches of no more than a few inches around at once. While the wax is still hot, firmly press the paper or fabric strips into the wax. Let the strip sit for for a few moments to allow it to stick. Pull the strip in the against the direction of hair growth. This is the opposite of the direction you applied the wax. Use a quick, fluid motion. Don't go slowly — this will hurt. To reduce pain, do not pull straight up or up at an angle. Keep the strip close to the body as you pull in a direction parallel to the skin and pull as quickly as possible. Continue until all of the hair on the back has been removed. This will take many applications. Don't be afraid to take breaks if the pain becomes too much. Future waxings tend to hurt less than the first. If the pain is ever unbearable, stop — burning or injuring yourself isn't worth worrying about uneven back hair. After you finish your waxing, your back is likely to be a little red and irritated. In this state, it's more vulnerable to infections than normal. To reduce this risk, wash it with soap. An easy way to do this is to simply take a shower.

Article in English: You can find these games online easily at sites like chessgames.com. You should memorize the first ten moves of black and white to get a sense of how true masters begin their chess games. This will help you get a sense of not just how to succeed, but how to truly excel. Also, memorizing these moves will make you more disciplined because you'll have to train your mind to absorb these moves as well as to understand what makes them so great. You can use websites like Chesstempo, Chessity, or Puzzle Books. As Malcom Gladwell once hypothesized, working on anything for 10,000 hours will make you an expert, so imagine what a pro you'll be after solving 10,000 puzzles! Of course, this can take a very long time to achieve, but if you aim to do at least one a day, you will go far. You can also start by setting a more realistic goal for yourself, such as 1,000 puzzles, and see where you go from there. Try not to get too fixated on the exact number. While frequent practice is certainly helpful, especially for disciplines that have fixed rules (like chess), some studies suggest that the impact might be less significant than Gladwell's initial hypothesis. Nevertheless, practice is useful, so make a habit of playing puzzles on your favorite website as frequently as you reasonably can. You can also use the world champs chess app or other apps that are geared toward chess players. Though practicing to be a chess master takes complete concentration, having an app on your phone that relates to chess can help you train when you find yourself with some unexpected free time. Sign up for as many as you can and make sure you play at least once a week, no matter how tired or frustrated you may be. Local tournaments are the way to help you practicing playing against real players and to improve your technique and strategy. Having a chess coach may cost a pretty penny, but he can definitely help you improve at the game and to develop the discipline to be able to think outside the box. You can also find a chess engine online that can...

Article in English: You can gauge whether a child is gifted based on social interactions. Gifted children have a unique ability to understand others, and genuinely try to empathize.  A gifted child may be sensitive to other people's emotions. If your child is gifted, they may be able to easily tell if someone is sad or angry, and may want to understand the reason behind an emotion. A gifted child will rarely feel indifferent in a situation, and will almost always be concerned for the wellbeing of those around them. Gifted children will be able to interact with people of all ages. Due to their advanced knowledge, they can talk to adults, teens, and older children with as much ease as they can communicate with those their own age. However, some gifted children have social difficulties. Their intense interests may make it difficult to interact with others, and gifted children are sometimes misdiagnosed as autistic. While positive social interactions are one sign your child is gifted, it is not the only sign. If your child has difficulty socializing, this does not necessarily mean they are not gifted, and some gifted children are also autistic. Gifted children tend to be natural leaders. They have a great capacity for motivating and encouraging others, and seem to naturally fall into leadership positions. You may notice your child is generally the leader in a group of friends, for example, or that your child is able to quickly rise to a leadership position in extracurricular activities. Emotionally, gifted children need alone time. Gifted children will enjoy spending time with others, but will not become bored or agitated if they spend time alone. They may pursue solitary activities, like reading or writing, and may sometimes prefer to be by themselves rather than hanging out in a group. A gifted child will rarely complain of boredom when not being entertained, as they have a great deal of intellectual curiosity that keeps them mentally stimulated. When bored, a gifted child may only need a little "push" to start a new activity...

Article in English: You can generally find indigo at big retailers and beauty supply stores. You can also purchase high-quality indigo on websites like Amazon. Buy 100g of indigo for every six inches of hair. If you have any old newspapers or towels, you should put them on the floor of the space that you intend to use. Henna may be dripping and you won’t want to clear the sticky substance off of the floor. If your bathroom is big enough, you might want to consider dyeing your hair there. Indigo will permanently stain clothes, carpets, pets, and furniture, so be careful. You can dye your hair in the shower so you have an easier cleanup. Wash your hair thoroughly, then dry it naturally or with a blow dryer. You can use your regular shampoo and conditioner. You just want to make sure that you get rid of any excess dirt and henna, if you applied any. This will make the dyeing process easier. Your hair can be a little damp; in fact, a little dampness is good for the dyeing process. Comb your hair and aim to get rid of any tangles or knots. After you do this, you will want to section your hair into a few different parts. This will make dyeing your hair less difficult. The most common way to section hair is to create four different quadrants. To do this, create two divides. First, you should divide your front and back hair.

Article in English: You can get a fuller understanding of cardiac output by learning about what influences it. The most straight forward of these is heart rate, the number of beats the heart makes in a minute. The more it beats the more blood is pumped all over the body. A normal heart should beat at 60-100 in a minute. When the heart rate is too slow, it is also called bradycardia, a condition in which the heart ejects too little blood in circulation.  If your heart beats really fast it may cause tachycardia (a heart rate that exceeds the normal range) or, in severe cases, arrhythmia (problem with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat). Although you may think that the faster the heart beats the more blood is circulated, in fact the heart ejects less blood with each stroke. If you are interested in the influences of physical fitness on cardiac output learn about contractility. Contractility is the ability of the muscle to contract. The heart is made up of muscles that contract in a certain pattern to eject blood. As the heart contracts, for example during exercise, this equates to increased cardiac output.  The stronger the heart contracts,  the more blood it draws into itself with each contraction, hence the more blood it circulates.  This is what is affected when a piece of the heart muscle dies, and the heart is able to eject less blood during circulation. Preload refers to the stretch of the heart before shortening and impacts on cardiac output. According to Starling’s law, the force of contraction depends on the length to which the heart muscle is stretched. Therefore, the greater the preload the greater the force of contraction, which results in a greater amount of blood being pumped by the heart. The final key factor that influences cardiac output and is connected to the condition of the heart is known as afterload. Afterload is simply the amount of force that the heart needs to overcome to pump blood, which is highly dependent on the tone of the blood vessels and arterial blood pressure. A decrease in afterload can...

Article in English: You can get any size you want, but something around 16 or 18 inches (41 or 46 cm) would work the best for most home décor purposes. When measuring the pillow, be sure to measure across the front, from seam-to-seam. This method works the best for plain pillow inserts, like that you'd toss onto a couch. It is not suitable for box-type cushions that have a height dimension as well. Place the pillow on top of the cover. Pull the left overlapping edge over the left side of the pillow, and the right overlapping edge over the right side. Smooth the edges down in the back of the pillow so that they overlap nicely.

Article in English: You can get long leggings that come all the way down to your ankle. You can also get medium-length ones that come down to your calf, or shorter ones (capris) that come down just past your knee. Most leggings will come in either a matte or satin texture. A matte texture is more casual, and suitable for everyday wear. A satin or shiny texture is great for parties and special nights out. This will determine whether or not you can wear these as a pair of pants, or if you should layer other clothes over them. Tuck your hand inside the leg and pull the fabric taught. If you can see your skin, you will need to layer the leggings with other clothes. If you can't see your skin, then the leggings are safe to be worn as pants. Tight pants may be in fashion, but too-tight pants will never look good or feel comfortable. When buying leggings, try to do a few squats; you should be able to move around easily. If you are feeling self-conscious about certain parts of your body, such as a loose tummy or love-handles, consider getting a pair that offers support in those areas. They might be labeled as "control top" or "supportive." The wrong underwear may show through even solid-colored leggings. The two things you need to focus on are seam lines and color. Choose a pair of underwear that's either black or that matches your natural skin tone. Also, try to buy a pair of underwear without a seam line. They are often called seamless or something similar. You can also wear a black- or nude-colored thong. Some leggings will come with a fancier cuff. You might be able to find some with scalloped lace along the cuff, or even some sparkly beads. These sorts of leggings are a great way to add that extra detail to any outfit.

Article in English: You can have a lot of nice single pieces of clothing, but it's not going to dazzle anyone unless you know how to put them together. Learn what colors work well together. Take a look at a color wheel and study what colors complement each other. Know when to rock heels and when to go for sneakers. Try a monochromatic look, which means all your clothes are the same color. It's a basic technique, but can look modern and chic. Need a new skirt? Don't go and buy one; make one! Rip the sleeves of a long sleeved top or cut some shorts to make them into a skirt. You can create a lot of clothes, from thrift stores, that fit your style by modifying them at home.  Personalize your clothes. Make your own bag. It would be best to use a sewing machine to make the stitches are neat. Customize your stale jeans. You can splatter paint on them or wash them with bleach. Jewels and other accessories can change an outfit from being okay to being in style. Know how much jewelry is too much. Take everything in moderation when first trying out new techniques for your outfit. Consider wearing a hat and figure what type of hat best suits your outfit. Baseball caps or a beanie can go a long way. Never settle on a style if you want more out of your appearance. Try wearing the wrong shoes with an outfit. Try for example, Doc Martins with a tennis outfit or a shorter skirt. The juxtaposition will create a fashionable look. Wear something big with something small. Try wearing a small crock top with an oversize coat. Wear a t-shirt that's clearly too big for you with tight pants or cut-off shorts. Tall t-shirts are becoming quite a trend. Wear your clothes; don't let your clothes wear you! Style is meant to empower you. It's not suppose to make you self-conscious. Don't feel obligated to stay in your comfort-zone. Also know that one bad day of fashion won't taint you for life.

Article in English: You can hire a car from many places in Manila that will take you to Tagaytay. The private cars that can take you to Tagaytay often gather near the airport, though, so it is easiest from there. Taxis from the airport have regulated rates that make them more expensive than other options. A private car or an FX (a taxi-like van), hired just outside of the airport, will be a more economical option. You should be able to hire an FX for about $35 in US dollars. Don't be afraid to haggle over the price. For $35 you should at least be able to get to Tagaytay, and maybe hire a driver for the whole day. It is not uncommon for drivers to ask you to pay for fuel.

Article in English: You can join a club, go to school, or go to church, but you still won't make friends if you don't actually talk to people. By the same token, you don't have to be involved with an organization to be social. Any time you talk to someone, you have a chance at making a lasting friend. Don’t worry about saying anything special—just open a conversation by saying something friendly (like “Isn’t it a gorgeous day?” or “That is an awesome shirt!”) and see where it goes from there!  You can talk to anybody: the clerk at the video store, the person sitting next to you on public transit, or the person in front of you in the lunch line. Don't be too picky. Having good manners goes a long way. You can start talking to people by simply greeting them with a "Good morning, how are you?" as you pass them by. Showing simple good manners by greeting people makes you seem more friendly and people tend to respond well to it. It's a great way to start communicating with people. If you don’t present a friendly and inviting appearance, people are less likely to be receptive to your friendship. Look people directly in the eye when they are speaking to you (or when you are speaking to them) and offer them a warm, friendly smile. Do not squint, look bored, frown, or look deadpan. Try to avoid closed-off body language, like folding your arms or hanging out alone in a corner. Once you find a person you’re interested in becoming friends with, you need to initiate a conversation with that person. This will help you connect with them and start forming a friendship. There are a few different approaches you could try. For example:  Try making a comment about your immediate environment. The weather is a classic: "At least it's not raining like last week!" Make a request for help: "Can you help me carry a few boxes, if you have a minute?" or "Can you help me decide which one of these is a better gift for my mom?" Alternatively, you could offer help. For example, “Hey, do you need a hand cleaning up?”  Give a compliment, such as, "That's a nice...

Article in English: You can learn a lot about teaching by discussing ideas with other instructors. Talking to instructors who have taught the same or similar courses can help you when you are planning your syllabus and lesson plans. You can also gain ideas from them throughout the term. You don’t need to become best friends with your students. Knowing something about their backgrounds, interests, and future plans, however, can help you teach them more effectively. If you are familiar with your students, you can foster an inclusive classroom environment. Likewise, students are more likely to be engaged in a course if they feel that their instructor understands and cares about them.  You can ask students to fill out a brief survey at the beginning of a course that describes any of the following: their background, reason for choosing the course, similar courses taken, interests, etc. You can also meet with students individually in office hours to get to know them. Model diversity and inclusiveness for students by accounting for multiple points of view on a given topic. For instance, if you are teaching “American Literature,” make sure that the course acknowledges a range of perspectives, including those of Native American, European, African, and Asian descent as well as other heritages and perspectives, such as LGBTQ writers. You could do this by including a wide variety of readings, for instance. Don’t assume that students will contact you if they have problems or questions about a course. They might be busy with other courses or work obligations, or be unsure of how to approach you. Be proactive and ask students frequently if they have questions or concerns. Have high expectations for all your students. If you expect that they can and will succeed, they are more likely to. Identify those students that need more assistance, and work to provide it. Don’t assume that a student from a certain background will or will not succeed just because of that background. Don’t assume that all members of a group will share the same opinion....

Article in English: You can leave it in there for a few hours to ensure that it is adequately cooled. This will make the hardened plastic more brittle and it will be easier to scrape off. Alternatively, you can fill a bag with ice to cool the plastic. This works for the rack, the coils, and the bottom of the oven. Leave the ice on the affected area for 15 to 30 minutes. Once you remove the rack from the freezer or have cooled it thoroughly with the ice, you can begin to scrape the plastic. Using a razor blade or scraping tool, gently scrape at the melted plastic. You may have to apply some pressure to peel it away from the metal. Continue scraping until you have removed the plastic from the rack, coils, and bottom of the oven entirely. The plastic may be sharp, so take care to wear gloves and use caution to avoid cuts. You’ll be left with plastic shavings and pieces on the bottom of the oven. Carefully sweep these out using gloves or a brush. You may also choose to put a bowl or pot under the rack when scraping to catch the plastic as it falls. Before you use the oven again, be sure to wipe it with your usual oven cleaner to ensure the plastic residue is completely removed.
