Article in English: Find ways to express yourself creatively that makes you happy. Try to paint, draw, or sketch if this is something you enjoy. Acrylic paints are inexpensive and can be used on just about any surface.  Tune into colors and what emotions you feel they express.  Get a sketch book that is unlined and try drawing or sketching, tuning in to how you feel inside.  Many art schools and museums offer free drawing sessions if you want to start off in a more structured environment. Allow your inner self and inner emotions to guide you as you create.  Taking time to sit and paint or draw can also be relaxing.  Don’t judge your abilities. Expressing yourself creatively is not about becoming the next Leonardo da Vinci, it’s about the act of creating.  Learning to express yourself means learning to get to know yourself. Unleashing the creative side of yourself can be a surprising and fulfilling way to get a handle on who you really are inside. Collaging is a fun craft that will allow you to express yourself. All you need are some old magazines or anything with images printed on it, some cardboard, and a glue stick.  Find pictures that resonate with how you feel and what you want to express.  Use words and headlines to accentuate the visual images. Don’t limit yourself to just cardboard. Collage the cover of your emotion journal or sketchbook.  Decorate an old box, a folder, or anything you might have laying around that you want to express yourself on. Express how you feel politically, spiritually, globally, or make it personal to your life. Sometimes, expressing yourself with physical movement can help free up your inner feelings and desires. Get comfortable in your own skin by moving around and dancing. Dance in the privacy of your own home, or go out to a dance club. Listen to music that fits your mood and that you enjoy.

Article in English: Finding a publisher can take a long time, especially when you’re a novice writer. If you’re determined to get your book published, you’ll want to research what companies might be open to publishing a novice author in your particular genre. Send proposal letters to publishers outlining your idea. You can include a chapter or a few pages with this as a sample. When you apply for publication, you’ll need more than simply a finished book. Publishers are interested in how your book can make money for them and thus will want to understand who would buy it and how it would be marketed.   The structure of a publishing marketing plan will vary significantly based on the kind of book you’re writing but you should start by researching what other publishing marketing proposals look like online. For a free guide to developing marketing materials and a publication plan, visit http://www.thecreativepenn.com/2009/02/20/award-winning-marketing-plan/. Creating a social media page and supporting graphic material is a great way to demonstrate your marketing strategy in your proposal and create some buzz around the publication before you make your proposal. Websites like Amazon, Lulu, CreateSpace, and BookSurge offer e-publication options, some of which are free of charge. E-publication is ideal for first time authors because it will involve minimal overhead and marketing.  E-publication will require special formatting of your manuscript. The formatting standards will depend on which platform you use so make sure you look for those requirements. Note that e-publication usually reaches a smaller audience, achieves lower sales, and will not afford your book the prestige of print publication. You also won’t have a publishing company to market your book.

Article in English: Finding a shared interest is conversational gold. When you find a topic that both of you enjoy talking about, the conversation will flow much more easily. Even if it's something you're not particularly knowledgeable about, demonstrate your interest by asking him plenty of questions and allow him to do the talking.  For example, if you discover that you both like to watch football, ask him about his favorite team, who he thinks their best players are and whether they'll make it to the playoffs this year. Once you get him going there'll be no stopping him, and he'll probably think you're a pretty cool girl for being interested. Pick up on hints about his interests from his clothing, desk or accessories. If he's wearing a band tee - bingo! He likes music. If he has a surfing picture set as his desktop background, that's a pretty good indication he likes to ride the waves. Picking up on small details can help you to choose the right topic to get him going. . To really get the conversation going and to find out about your guy's interests and personality, it's important to ask open-ended questions. Avoid questions with one-word answers or rote questions that he'll automatically answer without thinking.  For example, avoid starting a conversation with "how are you?" which he'll probably answer by reflex with a "fine" or a "good". Instead try asking him "what did you do this weekend?" or "what do you think of the new boss?" which will force him to think about his answer and actually string a sentence together. Alternatively, you can try asking him an "either-or" question, to initiate a playful debate. Ask him whether he prefers "The Simpsons" or "Family Guy", rock or hip-hop, burgers or hot dogs. Whatever he answers, gently tease him about it and soon you'll both be laughing. more than you talk. Conversational etiquette dictates that you should always listen more than you talk. That's why you have two ears and only one mouth, right? So once you've got the ball rolling, take a back seat during the conversation and...

Article in English: Finding a toilet that flushes effectively without clogging is essential. But, a toilet with less water usage does not always mean it has less flushing power than another model. The ideal toilet would have great waste removal and high clog resistance.  To learn about the flushing performance of a specific toilet, use the Maximum Performance (MaP) Test at the Alliance For Water Efficiency website.  Most major hardware and houseware stores label their selection of toilets with a numerical score based on their flush performance, taking into account waste removal power and clog resistance. Current toilet models use 1.6 gallons per flush (GPF), which is about half the amount of water used by older toilets. Toilets with a Water Sense label use just 1.28 GPF and received approval as a high-efficiency toilet (HET) from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). More information about the WaterSense Program is available at the EPA's website.

Article in English: Finding just the right spot for your inner brows to start is key to creating perfect brows, since starting too far in could throw off the balance of your face. To figure out where your inner brows should start, use the following technique:  As a general starting point, take a pencil or other long, thin instrument and line it up with the inside corner of your eye. The place where the instrument overlaps your brow is where it should begin. Mark the spot by making a dot there with an eyeliner pencil. Repeat on the other side. However, if you have close-set eyes, space your brows a bit farther apart. If you have wide-set eyes, space your brows a little closer together. This helps to balance your features. Most eyebrows naturally arch around the eye, and finding the place where the arch peaks is essential to making them look perfect. Use the same long, thin instrument to figure out where your arch should peak by following this technique:  Look straight ahead in the mirror and line up the instrument with the outer edge of your nostril and the outer edge of your iris. The place where the instrument crosses your brow is where your arch should peak. Mark it with a dot using an eyeliner pencil. Repeat on the other side. If you have a round face, aim for a more angular brow. Alternatively, choose a softly rounded brow if you have a square or oblong face. Perfect eyebrows for someone else may not be perfect eyebrows for you. Sometimes thick, bushy eyebrows are in style, and sometimes more people prefer them to be thin and well-tailored. Think about what style you're going for before you dive into plucking your brows. The thickness of your eyebrows is a personal decision that should be influenced by the following factors:  The size of your eyes. If your eyes are on the bigger side, thicker brows can help balance them out. If they're small, thick brows might overshadow them, so you'll want to choose a brow thickness that's slightly thinner. The size of your lips.  A good general rule of thumb is that your eyebrows should...

Article in English: Finding out a workable exercise regimen is a tough task in the modern world, but rest assured that exercise will help you produce more sperm. Exercise releases testosterone into your body, helping with sperm production. Use compound exercises and lift heavy weights, but refrain from working the same set of muscles the day after. Giving your muscles time to rest and rebuild should help you produce testosterone.  Do not exercise too much! Excessive exercise causes the release of adrenal steroid hormones that actually cause a testosterone deficiency. So whether you want to put on that extra muscle or help out your sperm, remember not to stress your body too much. Do not use anabolic steroids. Anabolic steroids may help you pack on the pounds, but they shrink your testicles and may cause infertility. If you're trying to conceive, stay far, far away. A diet that's low in fat, and high in protein, vegetables, and whole grains is good for your health and for your sperm.  Eat plenty of fish, meat, eggs, fruits and vegetables. Peanuts, walnuts, cashews, sunflower and pumpkin seeds are also considered to increase sperm count. Avoid an excessive amount of soy-based foods and high-fructose corn syrup. Soy foods have a mild estrogenic effect on the body. While that may be good for women, it's not great for sperm. High-fructose corn syrup may cause insulin resistance, which lowers fertility. . Losing weight will help you counteract low sperm count. Scientists don't know why obesity correlates to low sperm count, but a recent French study found that obese men were 42 percent more likely to have low sperm count than their non-obese counterparts. In the same study, scientists found that obese men were 81 percent more likely to have no sperm at all in their ejaculate. There are a number of different theories for why this is. Some speculate that fatty tissue converts testosterone into estrogen; others speculate that more mass in the thighs could make the testicles too hot.

Article in English: Finding something that you’re passionate about and allowing yourself to incorporate that passion into your life can help you feel happier and more confident.  Find your passion by reflecting on your interests, identifying what makes you lose track of time, and thinking about the things you loved doing as a child. Once you have found a passion, work on it.

Various kinds of dancing in vastly different groups of people have consistently shown increased happiness and lower stress. This can translate into a boost in confidence. Not sure where to start?

Article in English: Finding the right person for a casual sex relationship is harder than it might sound. You need someone you’re sexually compatible with, who is also looking for a no strings attached relationship.  You can meet your sex friend anywhere: at a bar, at the bank, in a class. Look for someone you’re sexually attracted to, but wouldn’t consider dating long-term. Try not to pick someone you’re already close friends with. Introducing sex into your friendship might derail an already good relationship. Don’t just jump straight into sex – take some time to get to know the person and make sure you’re compatible as friends, too. Taking time to hang out without sex will also give you time to communicate what you’re looking for from this relationship.  Be honest from the beginning that you’re not looking for anything serious and that you’re only looking to keep things casual. If one of you has feelings for the other, then it’s time to break off the relationship. Relationships like these only work when both partners are on the same page. Don’t try to introduce romance into the relationship. Don’t plan dates or introduce them to your friends or family. By creating distance, you satisfy your sexual needs, without adding pressure from the other people in your life.  Don’t spend time talking or stressing about emotions. Over-thinking the relationship will only cause it to implode. Keep it lighthearted. This relationship exists for you to have fun and let off steam. Don’t make it any more complicated than that. A friends with benefits relationship is not exclusive, so your friend will probably continue seeing other people (as will you). Don’t talk about these other relationships – they’ll distract from what you have going and may result in hurt feelings.  Don’t take it for granted that you’ll be asked to spend the night. Be cognizant that you both have other things going on. Understand that as other relationships come and go, you may see each other less. This is completely normal. A friends with benefits relationship may only work...

Article in English: Finding ways to meet your needs in a new environment can be challenging, but it’s also helpful in fighting homesickness. Connecting with what is new and exciting about your new situation may help you feel more attached to it.  For example, if you're studying or living abroad, check out all of the museums, palaces, local restaurants, and cultural traditions that make the country unique. Get out your tour book and make a goal of doing something cultural at least once a week. Immerse yourself in the culture. Even if you’ve just moved to a different place in your home country, you might find that the local culture is quite different from what you’re used to. Learn the local expressions, try out new cuisine, and check out local bars and pubs. Take a cooking class that focuses on local ingredients. Join a local dance club. Increasing your intercultural communication skills can help you feel more at home in a new place.  Ask the locals about their favorite things to do. You may get an excellent recommendation for finding the best burrito of your life, or you could get directions to a gorgeous off-the-radar lake. If you’ve moved to a new country, not being able to speak the language can be a huge barrier to feeling like you belong. Learn the language as quickly as you can; take classes, chat with locals, and practice your new skills. You’ll feel more confident and in control, once you’re able to communicate with the people in your new environment. Getting out of the house is half the battle to beat homesickness. Of course, you'll be homesick if you spend eight hours in a day watching reruns of The Office in the near-dark. Instead, make a goal of spending a lot of your time out of the house, whether it's just to read the same book you were going to read at home in a sunny park, or to take a long walk with a good friend instead of doing sit-ups in your room. Work or study out of the house. Go to a coffee shop or park and do the same work you were going to do at home. Just being around people may help you feel less...

Press down a little harder to ensure a tight seal has been made, and no air will leak out. If the sure-zip slider piece comes off while closing the bag, simply slide it back onto the bag. Press it back onto the zipper track over the top of the bag. You should hear it click twice. To ensure that the zipper is completely sealed, slide your fingers along the zipper track and press down. You should be able to feel if any areas are not sealed. Space saver vacuum bags have a valve located on the top of the bag. To open the valve cap, place one hand around the base of the valve and use your other to lift open the cap. If you pull the cap too hard it may come off. You can put it back on by placing the rubber flapper inside the valve base. Then, snap the cap back onto the base. Remove all attachments from your vacuum and place the circular hose onto the valve. Make sure to place the hose in the center of the valve. The circular end of the hose should completely fill the valve. Dust-buster style vacuums will not work. Once the vacuum is turned on, you will see the bag begin to shrink as air is removed. When the bag stops shrinking, this signals that you have completed the sealing process. At this point you can turn off the vacuum. When placing down-pillows or down-comforters into the bag, don't empty all of the air from the bag. Only compress the air in the bag to fifty percent its original size, as further compression will damage the down feathers. Once you have finished vacuum sealing the bag, remove the vacuum hose from the valve and close the lid on the bag. This will prevent any air from escaping the bag.

Article in English: First dates are often awkward and it can be difficult to properly judge someone after just spending a few hours together. Of course, if you aren't attracted to him or he does something egregious, you are under no obligation to see him again. Likewise, even if marriage is very important to you, don't think about how every guy you date can be "the one." This kind of thinking puts too much pressure on budding relationships and may make you rush into a marriage you aren't ready for. This doesn't mean you should tell a man you've just met all of your most personal secrets. However, do your best to be yourself during the casual dating phase, rather than the person you think he would want you to be. If he doesn't like the real you now, you two will probably not be a good match when things get more serious. Most cultures around the world have traditionally used some form of matchmaking to help people find their ideal mates. Even in countries where matchmaking had fallen out of fashion, the practice has seen a recent boost in popularity. If you've ever joined a dating website with an extensive personality quiz, you've engaged in a modern form of matchmaking. Most matchmakers pair their clients according to personality, values, hobbies, goals, and other traits.

Article in English: First impressions make a difference. Good hygiene shows that you take care of yourself. Take a shower every morning. Wash your hair, put on deodorant, and possibly use a small amount of cologne or perfume. Bad odors, among other problems, are distracting and cause people to not want to be around you. When you use cologne or perfume, add only a small amount to your neck, chest, and shoulders. She should be able to smell it up close without it overwhelming her senses. Clothes and hairstyle are also factors in how people judge you. If your hair is long and greasy and you wear stained sweatpants, chances are the girl will think of you in a negative way, making her feel uncomfortable. Buy yourself clothes that flatter your figure. A style that looks unique on you without being too flashy will help her appreciate you. If you don’t feel comfortable, chances are she won’t feel comfortable either. Anytime you seek her out, display your best self. This means going up to her, maintaining eye contact, and speaking loudly and clearly. To do this, practice being natural. Look into a mirror as you speak, maintaining eye contact with yourself.  Even if you feel nervous around her, slow down. Breathe deeply, speak slowly, relax, and focus on her. Be your natural self.  If you’re going to be at the same place a girl is, such as school or a party, try getting to the place early. This gives you time to get accustomed to the environment before it becomes more crowded and busy. Avoid any bad habits that would make her uncomfortable, such as swearing, telling inappropriate jokes, or fidgeting. Start with small questions, such as “That’s a nice tattoo, what does it mean?” Avoid asking deep questions, as these are too personal too soon. Instead, let her answer and then add to the conversation, such as by talking about something a little personal such as your own tattoos. Everyone has boundaries about how physically close someone cannot be. Moving into this space too fast and being unwelcome is a sure way to make a girl feel...

Article in English: First things first: to live the lifestyle, you need to start doing yoga. Consider joining a class at a gym, community center, or yoga studio, for example. Ease your way into the practice and prepare to feel better and more relaxed.  There are many reasons to start yoga. You will become better toned and flexible, enjoy more energy, and feel more relaxed. You may even lose weight. Not many of us can afford a personal yoga trainer. However, you won’t break the bank by joining a class. The average cost of drop-in sessions is about $12. This price drops if you commit to a week or month-long program.  A one-month unlimited plan at Yoga Tree in Toronto costs $160, for instance. While face-to-face time with an instructor is best, you can also make do with a good beginner’s yoga DVD , like Yoga for Beginners, Smart Start Yoga, or AM/PM Yoga for Beginners. There are yoga poses that any beginner will have to know. These are basic and beginner’s level and include the Cat-Cow, the Half-Lord of the Fishes, and the Downward Dog. They are simple and easy to do.  For the Cat-Cow, for example, start on your hands and knees with your spine flat. Then, inhale and drop your belly toward the floor and look up. Pull your spine upward, rounding your back, as you exhale. Repeat. Try the Downward Dog. Begin again on your hands and knees. As you inhale, push your hips upward, straighten your legs, and place your feet flat to the ground. Then, spread your fingers out and let your head hang down. Continue breathing in this pose. It may take a while for you to catch on. Try sitting in the back of the class, so that you can easily see your classmates and follow their movements. Don’t overdo it! Sit aside if you find a pose too challenging. You’ll need to learn how to breathe properly for yoga exercises, as well, especially when holding poses. The basic maneuver is a “three-part breath” called Dirga Pranayama. It involves breathing in and out of the nose into your belly and should be calming and relaxing.  Dirga Pranayama is a continuous...

Article in English: First, arrange two cards into a slightly-off-center "T". Hold the cards, one in each hand, so that their flat faces are perpendicular to the table. Lean them against each other to form another almost-T. Next, place a third card against the middle of one card to form another "T". Close the box with a fourth card and "T", so you have four cards pressed against each other with a square space in the center. This is the basic four-card cell or "lock box". It is one of the most structurally stable foundations that you can lay for your house of cards. Think of this cell as a pattern that you can repeat throughout your design. Overlap two cards flat on top of your four-card cell. Then, lay two more flat cards (rotated at a 90-degree angle) to complete the roof. A "double-ply" flat layer will make your eventual structure much more stable. Carefully construct a second four-card cell on top off the flat layer. You now have a stable two-story card structure. Feel free to keep adding stories until you run out of cards, or until you think the structure is tall enough. The four-card cell is a very strong root, so you should be able to stack many levels atop the foundation.  Try adding "wings" to the house by attaching more T-shapes to the ground floor. Whenever you put down a card shape that is perpendicular to the table surface, make sure to lay a flat card layer on top as a "ceiling". This will make the cards more structurally sound, and it will make the whole building look more like a house. Get creative. The sky's the limit with this method – so see how big of a house you can build!

Article in English: First, ask her if she wants to choose the setting, in case she already has an idea about what she’d like to do. Plan ahead for where you’ll go. Keep in mind that your preparation shows your interest level. When selecting a location, look for places you’ll have the chance to talk and find out more about each other. You can also arrange multiple places to go on a single date, if desired.  Try asking, “Do you have anyplace specific in mind, or would you rather be surprised?” For instance, you might choose to go to an aquarium followed by a restaurant that isn’t too casual. Other ideas are ice skating, bringing a picnic lunch to a park, or a city walking tour. Avoid places like the cinema, concerts and clubs, where you’ll have to compete with the noise level and energy.  If you’re going out to eat, ask her what type of food she likes first, and don’t wait until the date to pick a restaurant. Choose a place, make reservations, and let your date know whether she should dress formally or casually. Avoid choosing a noisy place like a sports bar, where you won’t be able to hear each other well. If you’re going to drive on the date, take some time beforehand to throw away any trash in your car. You may want to vacuum your car out as well, especially if you have pets or it’s been a while since you vacuumed your car’s interior. Wipe down any dusty interior surfaces. Bonus points if you get a car wash, place a well-concealed air freshener in your car, and keep gum and/or mints in your console! You may not need to use them, but it’s good to have some ideas prepared ahead of time in case you find yourself at a loss for words. Think of questions that are open-ended, so they can start conversation rather than inviting simple “yes” or “no” answers.  Try asking, “Do you like to travel? Where would you most like to go?” Discussing dream travel destinations makes people feel good and even look more attractive to each other. You could also ask her what here favorite trip is that she’s been on.  Some light-hearted topics you can...

Article in English: First, choose a design you would like to create. Then, collect bottle caps. Most water bottle caps are white, so you can paint them different colors to have variety. The last step will be to glue the caps to a large sheet of paper. Hang the design where you wish for a colorful decoration. This is a great way to decorate your home, and it also makes for a fantastic DIY gift. To create a flower vase, cut off the top part of the bottle with a utility knife. Glue colorful wrapping paper, white paper, or felt to the bottom half. Decorate the bottom with stickers, markers, or other supplies if you wish. Fill the bottle up with water and place flowers inside. These can illuminate your home or backyard in fun ways and are relatively easy to create. To make these, simply cut off the bottom portions of several (5-10) empty 1 liter water bottles with scissors or a utility knife. Paint the top halves of the bottles with acrylic or transparent glass paint or decorate with washi tape in a design of your choice. Remove the caps and slip the bulbs of string lights into the bottle openings, one bulb per bottle. Using the knife, poke a small hole near the opening and pass craft wire through it. Twist the craft wire with the string light wire to hold the light in place.

Article in English: First, remove the top of the vacuum’s collection tank. Then, following the instructions for your particular vacuum model, remove the dry dust bag and filter from the collection tank. This will keep both the dust bag and filter from getting wet and growing mildew over time.  After removing the dry dust bag and filter, put the top back on the collection tank. Plug in the vacuum cord and turn on the vacuum. Then, hold onto the hose of the vacuum and direct the end of the hose into the toilet. Push the hose as far down the drain as possible. You may feel or hear the item move as you push the hose down. If so, direct the end of the hose so that the opening points at the item. Turn the vacuum on to start sucking up the toilet water. Keep sucking up the water until you hear the object pass through the hose, or until the collection tank is full. Some wet/dry vacuums have a separate setting when vacuuming water, so make sure that you turn your vacuum on accordingly. If you heard or saw the item go through the vacuum’s hose, or if the collection tank is starting to get full, turn the vacuum off. Then, remove the top of the vacuum’s collection tank and look into the tank to see if the item was sucked up through the hose. If you see the item, you can retrieve it with your hands, a shovel, or any item with a scoop or hook on the end. If you don’t see the item in the collection tank but you suspect that it was sucked up, check the vacuum’s hose as well. The item may have gotten lodged in the hose. If the item is not in the collection tank or hose, it’s likely that it’s still in the toilet. To try again, first empty the water out of the collection tank. Then, put the hose back into the drain and turn the vacuum on again. Keep vacuuming until you hear or see the item get sucked into the hose, or until the collection tank gets full again. You may need to repeat this process a few times before the item gets sucked up into the vacuum. After you’ve retrieved the item, flush the toilet once or twice. The toilet bowl should refill...

Article in English: First, separate your hair into sections using clips or hair ties. Blow dry each section separately, using a large hairbrush to pull the wet hair away from your head. If you're worried about heat damage, apply a heat-protecting leave-in conditioner to your hair before drying it. If you're in-between washings or if your hair looks slightly oily, dry shampoo can be used to give your hair a fresh lift. First, shake the can of dry shampoo to incorporate the ingredients. Next, hold the can a few inches away from your scalp and spray the shampoo along your hairline. Separate your hair into several large sections and continue spraying your scalp.  After applying the dry shampoo, rub it into your hair using your fingertips and brush your hair again. Dry shampoo can also come in a powder form. However, powdered dry shampoo is more difficult to apply and can leave a powdery residue in your hair. Daytime hairstyles will usually be more relaxed than evening updos. Choose a style for your hair that makes you feel comfortable and cute. For example, if you're feeling lazy and relaxed, use a hair band to style your hair into an adorable top knot bun. Other examples of cute hair styles:   Apply pomade to the ends of short hair to add texture. Tie your hair into a low knot to create a cute, effortless low bun. Style your hair into an elegant side braid.  Pull your hair into a high, sleek pony tail. Whether you're going out with friends or going on a date, your evening hairstyle needs to add drama to your look. If you have long hair, you can style it into a beautiful updo or brush it out. Brush shorter hairstyles away from the face and spray them with hairspray to create a clean, sleek look.   Curl long or medium hair using a curling iron, a brush, and hair spray.  Straighten your hair with a straightening iron and a wide-toothed comb to create a sleek hairstyle. Short hair can be curled with a small curling wand to create ringlets.

Article in English: First, take a ping pong ball, and make a small hole. This can be done with anything sharp and small. Unfold the large paper clip and form it to make an appropriate stand. Stick the paper clip into the hole in the ball. Put down some newspaper beneath the ping-pong ball so that the paint doesn't stain your workstation. Use a metallic gold spray paint cover your ball with at least two coats. Let it dry. Take the other ping pong ball, and cut it in half, using either an exacto knife, a kitchen knife, or scissors. Draw a swirl pattern on each half of the ball that mirror each other. With a small pair of scissors, carefully cut out the swirl patterns. Paint the swirl patterns and the ping-pong halves, and let them dry. Use plain white craft glue to stick the cut-out swirls back to the ping-pong halves, somewhere where the cut-outs don't overlap with the holes in the ping-pong halves. Cut out the plain paper into two identical wing shapes. The easiest way to do this is to fold the paper in half and cut both wings out at once. You can do the wings as you like, but an idea is to cut out 2 appropriately-sizes half circles, and then cut "flaps" out of the straight sides, to make feathers. Glue the cut-out half-ping pong balls to the actual ball on the stand. Put some glue on the end of each wing, and tuck it in the swirls. Hold it together for a few seconds so that they stays on. Let the glue dry before you remove your finished snitch from its stand.

Article in English: First, wet your lips with your tongue just enough so that they're soft. Then, gently kiss any part of your partner's neck with a closed mouth, as if you were giving your partner a close-mouthed kiss on the lips. You can start by kissing the area where your partner's neck meets her shoulders or collarbone, resting your lips on the curved groove. Slowly open your mouth in between kisses, and begin to kiss your partner's neck with an open mouth, separating your lips as you gently kiss her skin. You can also move up and down your partner's neck to add some variety.  Breathe some hot air on your partner's neck in between kisses. This will drive your partner crazy with pleasure. If you're really getting into it, lick your partner's neck from the bottom to the top. Use only the tip of your tongue and be very gentle. Make sure your partner is enjoying this sensation. Do not do this if it's your first time kissing this person. Confirm it with them first if you're interested, but only do this if you've kissed their neck before or you have some experience with it. This goes for blowing air or using your tongue, and especially for biting and sucking. If it's your very first time, just stick with open and closed mouth kisses. Do this so that you and your partner can discuss anything else that the two of you would be interested in doing. Give your partner slow wet kisses so she can really feel the sensations. You can focus on kissing one area of the neck or move all around her neck. Try kissing near her ear -- this is another sensitive area. Blowing hot air near the ear will drive your partner wild as well. Gently suck on your partner's neck for just one or two seconds at a time. Just don't do it too quickly or you'll leave a hickey, and your partner may not be into that. You can suck on your partner's neck in between close-mouthed or open-mouthed kisses.  Be very careful of hickeys. Sucking and biting is very likely to result in a hickey, and that may get both of you in some very serious trouble.  You can also blow some...

Article in English: Fitted pants and tops that seem custom made for your body will make you look long and lean. If you’re petite, shop in the petite section of stores to boost your chances of finding clothes that fit properly.  Baggy and ill-fitting clothes will only make you look frumpy, and will do nothing to lengthen your legs. Avoid buying clothes that don’t fit you perfectly. If this is unavoidable, either have your clothes tailored or tailor them yourself so that they fit well. Make sure that your pants are hemmed correctly, so that they just graze the top of your foot. Don’t let them bunch up and wrinkle at the top of your foot or shoe, as this will make your legs look shorter. Aim for skirts and pants that go just above your natural waist. These will make your legs look longer by giving the impression that your legs start where your waist does. Low-rise bottoms will generally lengthen your torso and make your legs look shorter, so avoid these. Wearing long tops will make your torso look longer and your legs look shorter. Tucking a top into high-waisted pants will give the illusion of longer legs. Tops, sweaters, and jackets that end anywhere from your waist to just above your hips will shorten your body and lengthen your legs, especially when paired with high-waisted bottoms. A lot of experts recommend wearing skinny jeans or narrow straight-legged pants, particularly in dark shades, to give your legs a longer appearance. This is particularly effective when the pants are worn with heels in the same shade — for example, black jeans with black pointy-toed ankle boots. Make sure the hemline grazes the floor at the back, and the top of your foot at the front, while you’re wearing heels. If the pants are too long for you, your legs will look shorter, so get them tailored or hem them yourself if need be.  Wide-legged pants have much the same effect as skirts and dresses, as they can help hide exactly where your legs start. Aim for high-waisted, wide-legged pants for maximum leg-lengthening effects! Pair a wide-legged pant with...

Article in English: Fixing or removing rusty plumbing is usually too dangerous for the amateur plumber. Unless you are a professional plumber or have experience working on interior pine lines, avoid DIYing a potential plumbing issue.  Fixing rusty plumbing by yourself can result in serious injuries to yourself or damage to your home. Although fixing rusty plumbing on your own may seem like it will save money, you may end up worsening the problem and costing you more in the long term. A plumber can find the issue with your interior plumbing and assess the best method to fix it. If you have determined that the water discoloration is not caused by a mainline problem, contact a plumber. While searching for local plumbers online, check their company's reviews. Avoid companies with many negative reviews, as a bad plumber can cause even more damage to your home. Contact at least 2 or 3 plumbers for a house inspection before choosing an option. You'll be able to get more perspectives on the cause of your water discoloration and the best, most cost-efficient way to treat the problem. The cheapest option is not necessarily the best choice, when it comes to plumbing. Choose the plumber who has the most experience and can offer references or positive reviews from their previous clients. Depending on the cause and suggested fix, rusty or corroded plumbing may be covered by your warranty. Contact your insurance company after you have pinpointed the cause to determine what the out-of-pocket cost for repair will be. If you don't currently have a copy of your home warranty, contact your insurance or home warranty company. As their client, you should be entitled to a new copy.

Article in English: Flash fiction can be in any genre you’d like, but popular genres to choose from include romance, thriller, horror, and science fiction. Each genre has its own tropes to help you shape a unique story. Brainstorm the type of narrative you’d like to write and like to read so you can start thinking of ideas.  If you like to write suspenseful stories, try doing a thriller or horror flash fiction piece. For stories that take place in the future or have advanced technology, write science fiction. If you want to focus on a relationship, consider writing romantic flash fiction. The theme is the main moral argument of your story and the message you want to leave with your readers. Some common themes you can use for your flash fiction include love, family, death, and power. Write down what themes you may want to use for your story so you can use them to influence your character and plot. For example, if you want your theme to be love and sacrifice, you may choose to write a story about someone who works all the time just to earn money for someone they care about. Your main character needs to have a motivation and goals in order to progress through your writing. Make their motivations believable so your readers can relate to them easily. Give your protagonist some flaws so they aren’t perfect and have difficulty achieving their goals. Only focus on 1 character since your flash fiction piece needs to be short.  For example, your protagonist’s goal may be to find sunken treasure, but they’re afraid of the ocean. Only give your character 1 goal for your flash fiction or else your piece could get too long or complicated. The antagonist is the main force fighting against your main character. Your antagonist could be another character, something in nature, or even an internal struggle. Make sure your antagonist directly affects your protagonist and the outcome of your story.  For example, your protagonist could be someone stuck in the forest and your antagonist could be a wolf trying to hunt them. Combine an internal struggle...

Article in English: Flashbacks are the trademark symptom of HPPD. You may notice that you continue to have flashbacks beyond the few days after drug use. You may also experience persistent changes in your perception after taking hallucinogenic drugs. If you have perception changes, you may see:  Geometric shapes Objects in your peripheral vision (along the sides or edges of sight) Colored flashes Enhanced color intensity Trailing and strobe-like moving objects After images or impressions Halos Objects that appear small or large Changes in perception can be annoying or even frightening, but they aren't necessarily a sign of any serious physical damage that is life threatening. Any alterations in brain chemistry are related to how you see things, not how your body generally functions. These alterations are also distinctly different from hallucinations since they're clearly not associated with what's happening in the present moment. Changes in perception shouldn't be confused with reality. Any serious health consequences of HPPD aren't caused by brain damage from whatever drug was used. Instead, health problems typically come from sustained depression or anxiety associated with the persistent flashbacks. You may feel depersonalized, or drastically disconnected from your body. For example, you may feel as though you're watching yourself from an outside perspective or from outside your body. This feeling of disconnect can also be accompanied by a sense that you're in a dreamlike state or that the world isn't a real place. Like other HPPD symptoms, this can be frightening and last for an unknown period of time. But, it's not necessarily a sign of serious physical damage that needs immediate treatment. Sometimes people who use hallucinogenic drugs notice visual disturbances in the weeks after use, while sometimes they last for years. Since this varies by individual, there’s really no clear way of knowing how long your visual disturbances will last. You most likely won't need to treat HPPD as if it was a serious health condition.

Article in English: Flax seed gives your boring bowl a fresh, nutty flavor. Try adding some fresh berries in to complement the added flavor of the flax seed. Add whole seeds for a nice texture that boosts the health value of your creamy snack. Simply pick your favorite muffin or bread recipe and add about 1/4-cup of flax seed per batch. The final product will gain a nice crunch and an interesting texture.  You can also use ground flax seed and water as a replacement for eggs. For one egg, the ratio is one tablespoon of flax seed to three tablespoons of water. Fruit smoothies are nicely complemented by the addition of nutty flax seed. Boost the fiber power in your smoothie by adding about one tablespoon per serving. Add flax seed to your french toast dip and allow the flax to coat the bread before pan frying it. Not only does the flax add a nice crunch, but the flavor goes perfectly with a traditional french toast recipe. You can use either whole flax seeds or ground flax. Add flax seed to your favorite trail mix cookies. Cookies with dried fruit, nuts, oats, and other chunky ingredients are nicely complimented by flax seed.

Article in English: Flea bites are extremely itchy, so the first sign of a flea infestation is usually seeing your dog scratching or chewing itself more than usual. Other behavioral signs of fleas might include head shaking, hair loss, scabs, or hot spots. Flea bites are usually smaller than other insect bites. This means they can be hard to spot, so you’ll have to look carefully.  Some dogs may have a stronger reaction to a flea’s saliva, causing a larger red area and more severe irritation.  You may notice small red dots on your own skin, which could also be flea bites. Use your fingers to part your dog's fur so that you can see its skin, looking for signs of adult fleas. Fleas tend to prefer the base of the tail, the abdomen, and behind the ears, but they can be found anywhere on the dog.  Adult fleas are about the size of a pencil lead. They are small, flat-bodied insects, and they range in color from reddish-brown to black. Keep in mind that fleas will move away from your fingers as you search your dog's fur, making them hard to spot. Most fleas live in the environment around the dog, so they may be hard to find in your dog's fur if it only has a mild infestation. Brushing your dog may agitate any fleas which might be present. If they jump off of your dog, you should be able to easily spot them on the white towel. Place the flea comb on your dog's coat, then apply slight pressure until the comb comes in contact with your dog's skin. Carefully brush through your dog's coat, making sure the comb stays in contact with its skin through the entire stroke.  After each pass, examine the comb for fleas and flea dirt, then dip the comb into a bowl of warm soapy water to clean the comb. Flea dirt, or flea droppings, look like small black flecks, but they actually contain dried blood. If you dip the flea comb into a bowl of soapy water, you should see the flecks slowly change back to red. If the flecks remain black after being added to water, it’s probably regular dirt. You can also place the flecks on a damp cotton pad and monitor...

Article in English: Flesh-scrapers and stretching boards are about as primitive a tool as you can get, but it's still the most effective way for getting the flesh, cartilage, and fatty bits off of the pelt so that it can dry thoroughly.  A flesh scraper is basically what it sounds like: a short and sharp blade that's used to scrape the flesh away. In a pinch, you could use a big kitchen knife that's somewhat dull, but it might be a little more difficult than with a scraper. Hog scrapers, single and double-handed scrapers are all common. Metal and wooden boards are both commonly used for the job. If you use a wooden stretching board, you'll also need staples or push-pins to secure the pelt when you're ready to stretch it for drying. Wooden stretching boards can double as "fleshing boards," providing a nice surface to scrape the pelt on. If you have a metal stretcher, you'll just need to use a bench, table, or other flat surface on which to scrape the pelt. It's usually recommended to let the fur alone to firm up the fat some in a cool environment (about 55 degrees F, or 13 C). This will help to make the scraping job a lot easier. You can flatten out the pelt onto the board, fur side down, to let it dry for several hours before you get started scraping. When you start, the whole process of scraping itself shouldn't take more than 15 or 30 minutes. Using firm pressure, carefully scrape the fat and connective tissue away from the skin using the scraper. There's not much of a secret or a science to it–you're basically just scraping. Be gentle to avoid tearing through the skin, but be firm enough and even enough to get everything off. The tail is usually the most challenging part, so most trappers will start there, spending the most time making sure that every bit of fat is evenly scraped away. After removing the fat from the tail, scrape directly up the middle of the pelt, in a stripe. Go all the way up until you've scraped everything off a narrow strip up the middle of the pelt, and the head of the pelt. Then go back and scrape...

Article in English: Flexibility in these joints is crucial for your back handstand. You can do these stretches every day, and always do them before practicing your handstand.  To stretch your wrists, sit on the floor and place your palm flat on the ground at a 90-degree angle to your arms. Gently bend your elbows and feel the stretch through your inner wrist. Then cross your arms in front of you, putting your hands on the ground with your fingertips pointing towards each other. To stretch your ankles, make several circles with your foot (moving from the ankle joint) clockwise and counterclockwise. If you like, you can sit on the ground and do this – extend one leg in front of you, cross the other over it and hold your foot in your hand to gently increase the intensity of the stretch. The bridge is a fundamental pose for practicing handstands. Not only does it help stretch out your shoulders, it is also your beginning pose for the back handstand.  Lay down on your back with your feet flat on the floor, knees bent. Your feet should be touching your bottom. Place your hands on the ground next to your ears, fingers pointing towards your shoulders. Raise your hips into the air as high as you can, extending your elbows as much as possible. Let your head hang down so your neck is relaxed. Push your weight onto your hands so that your shoulders are over your hands in a vertical line. Walk your feet out in front of you so your legs are straight, keeping them parallel. Rock the bridge back and forth. Bend your knees, shifting the weight onto your feet, then back onto your hands by straightening your legs. This helps to stretch out your shoulders. Come out of the bridge by bending your elbows and knees, gentling lowering your back to the floor. To execute a perfect back handstand, you need strong central muscles. These include your abdomen, pelvis, lower back and hips. The bridge is an excellent exercise for this, so practice every day. In addition, many basic exercises involve core strength, such as weight-lifting, sit-ups and push-ups....

Article in English: Floating is a life-saving technique that will help you catch your breath. When you’re swimming in deep water, you won’t always have the opportunity to stand up or grab on to something to take a break. Furthermore, the dog paddle is a great swimming technique for beginners but it can tire a swimmer out easily. Learn to float to reduce the risk of drowning. Practice floating in the shallow end of the pool. If you have trouble staying above the water you can stand up to catch your breath. It’s hard to float when your muscles are tensed up. Turn on your back in the water and stretch your arms and legs out, flattening your body. Relax your neck and let your head dip into the water. However, make sure that your face doesn’t become submerged.  If you’re worried about getting water in your ear, wear a swimmer cap while swimming. If you’re having trouble relaxing try closing your eyes while you float. First, breathe deeply. Filling your lungs with air will help you float above the water. If your legs are sinking too much, stretch your arms out behind your head, keeping them in the water. If you’re still having trouble keeping your legs afloat, kick your legs slightly.  If you’re having trouble breathing when you exhale, kick your legs slightly. This will help you stay afloat until you draw your next breath. Try to avoid using your hands to paddle. Instead, spread your hands and let your arms float. Most people prefer to float on their backs so that they can breathe while they float. However, if you’d like to float face down, the technique is very similar. Take a deep breath and hold it. Submerge your face in the water and stretch your arms and legs out like a starfish. When you need to breathe again, either stop floating or gently turn onto your back to take a breath.  Push your chest into the water to help keep your legs afloat. Kick your feet gently if you’re having trouble floating.

Article in English: Flour mites cannot thrive in a low-humidity environment (under 65%), and you should never see an infestation if your storage area is well-ventilated. Pay attention to the placement of kettles, cookers, dryers, and stoves and make sure they are not causing moist air to collect in food storage areas. Try keeping a fan in your pantry to cool the air and dry out any moisture. , grains, cereal, and other susceptible foods in clean, airtight containers. This will keep your food fresh and dry and keep mites out. If there are any mites that survived your cleaning process, depriving them of their food source will cause them to starve and prevent them from laying eggs in your grains.  Resealable plastic bags can work short-term, but mites can chew holes through them and get to your food. Try glass or thick plastic containers instead. The lifecycle of flour mites is about one month, so if you can keep everything clean and sealed up tight, any remaining mites should die off. Try to avoid combining old and new foods in the containers. Wait until you've used up all the flour in the bin, give the bin a thorough cleaning and remove any old flour stuck to the bottom, and then refill with the new flour. Though it may be a little more expensive than buying in large, bulk quantities, but if you buy smaller portions, you are less likely to have susceptible foodstuffs sitting around for long periods of time. If they sit in a humid environment for too long, they may become damp and start to mold and start another infestation of mites. Make sure you inspect all packaging before bringing dry goods home. Make sure they are not damp or damaged and that they were not stored on a damp shelf. Flour mites, cockroaches, moths, rats, weevils, and many other pests are said to hate the smell of bay leaves and will avoid your dry goods if they are present. You can put the leaves right into the container (the taste won't leech into your food) or tape them to the lid of the container or inside the pantry or cupboard. There are conflicting reports...

Article in English: Focus on a theme of your own. You might want to make it really original, like the Great Sith War or the New Republic. You can also visit many different places for different planets, or just make one in the setting. A Jedi could be walking around the neighborhood then attacked by two Sith. Or, you could make the story more complicated by putting it before or after the movies, or even in between. Humor will improve the amateur movie, allowing for much forgiveness for the amateur setting and story line! Add few jokes and punch lines to your movie, It wouldn't be a good one without it. Make sure that you understand people's styles, and make the humor fit to each of them.  Make your own funny scenes. For example:  Rebel 1 and rebel 2 are walking. Rebel 1 collapses. Rebel 2 calls his commanding officer. Rebel 2: "Sir, my partner collapsed and is not breathing, what should I do?" Commander: "Make sure he is dead, then tell me." Rebel 2 shoots rebel 1. Rebel 2: " Now what?".   Make a parody of the original movies. Parody is both fun and clever. Creating a parody script will teach you a lot about analyzing and writing.

Article in English: Focus on becoming more aware. Genetics play a large part in determining the capabilities of our senses and many factors can distract or diminish their ability. While improving our senses is considered very difficult, you can improve your skill by isolating them. Let go of inhibitions to become more susceptible to  the sensations your body experiences. Confidence doesn't come overnight. Build yourself up each day by remembering to stay positive and optimistic. Your vision has been your primary sense throughout your life and is responsible for about 80% of the information your brain receives. Without the ability to rely on our vision, we become more aware of what the rest of our senses are experiencing. Give your other sense the opportunity to interpret your environment. Notice every sound and try to judge the distance it's traveling to reach you. Isolate individual sounds like a bird singing. Try following two individual sounds separately.  Listen to music with headphones. For a bigger challenge, listen with two sets of headphones and a different song in each ear. Try to follow each song separately. Listen to music you love. Ask yourself why you love it. While your sense of taste and smell are controlled by separate receptor organs, the two senses are entwined and responsible for how your brain perceives taste.  Let your eyes close during each bite. Chew slowly and focus on the taste, texture, and smell. Seek out aromas that you enjoy. Bake some cookies or light a scented candle. Add different herbs and spices to your meals and try to single them out by their taste. Your skin is your largest organ and is responsible for giving you important information about your environment. Your skin keeps you updated on different temperatures, textures, pressure, vibrations, and more. Seek out activities that target your sense of touch.  Enjoy your favorite fabric and pay attention to the texture. Relax in a warm bath or shower. Get a massage.

Article in English: Focus on concrete and sensory details. In the above example, you might describe what the scratching sounded like, and what Millie imagined could be within the closet that stirred her fear. Make sure you've provided enough information about characters' thoughts, feelings, and reactions. In the above example, the ending might reveal that Millie was really just afraid of fear itself, and seeing the mouse made her realize her own silliness. Make sure you're consistent throughout; you don't want a story where one part is shallowly described while the rest of the story is described in even the most minute details. Here is where you can make all the final tweaks and changes to make your story read smoothly. Proofread carefully, make sure all your grammar is correct, and polish up any unclear or awkward spots in your language. Because you've spent so much time and effort writing the story, you may have a very different perspective of it than other readers. Having a friend read your story can help you discover if there are any places that seem confusing or out of place to readers. You may also find out that your friend thinks it's amazing just as it is!

Article in English: Focus on cutting out sugary foods and processed grains. Most sugar-filled drinks are between 150 and 300 calories. These are considered "empty" calories, because they have few nutrients. The other half should be split between lean protein and whole grains. It is necessary to keep your metabolism from slowing down and storing more fat in your midsection. Reduce what you eat by between 100 and 500 calories, reducing less on the days when you have a long workout. Most doctors agree that losing weight and keeping it off require small diet changes and reductions that you are committed to, rather than drastic diets.

Article in English: Focus your eyes on something else instead of giving the annoying person eye contact. Most people understand the importance of eye contact during a conversation. If they get the hint, they will likely end the conversation.  Focus your eyes on your computer if you are sitting at your desk. Use your cell phone as a distraction from the annoying person. You could force yourself to yawn, or blow your nose several times to make the act convincing. This will allow you to quickly excuse yourself from the conversation without being offensive. If you don't feel like you can pull off faking a cold, just say that you have another obligation and you can't be late.  You could tell the person that you are meeting someone for coffee/lunch/dinner, and that you have to leave right now. If you say something like "I haven't felt well for days," and blow your nose, the annoying person is likely to let you end the conversation and go home. When you are stuck standing by an annoying person who is trying to converse with you, start taking steps away from the person. Make it seem like you have somewhere that you need to go. Then, politely excuse yourself from the conversation. Don’t allow the annoying person to get comfortable in your presence. Avoid being hospitable when they visit. You can do this subtly without being blatantly rude.  Don’t offer the annoying person a place to sit. If you have seats available, occupy them with your purse, coat, or paperwork. Avoid offering the rude person a cup of coffee or a drink of water. Be sure to sit at a table that would be too small for them to accompany you.

Article in English: Folliculitis is often brought on by irritation caused by shaving or unsanitary shaving practices. If you have folliculitis on the skin under your beard or another area that you regularly shave, give that area a break from shaving. Persistent shaving can irritate the area and even spread the disease from one patch of hair to the next. If you must shave, minimize the irritation as much as possible. Try to use an electric razor, rather  than a handheld razor, and shave with the grain, rather than against the grain. Ensure your razor is clean every time you shave. Fingers and hands are among the most common vectors for bacteria. This means that they carry and transmit bacteria much like an airplane carries and transmits people. Although the area may itch, sting, or smart, it's important to resist the urge to itch or pick at the infected area. Treat the area like an off-limits area—wash your hands before touching it, and try to touch it only if you're applying soap, topical medicine, or a compress. The mechanical action of clothing rubbing against the skin throughout the day can cause chafing and irritation which can potentially lead to infection. Additionally, skin infections can also result if any clothing prevents air from reaching the skin. If you are prone to folliculitis, ensure that your clothing is soft and loose-fitting to minimize any potential irritation. Also try to prevent the clothing around any areas affected by folliculitis from becoming wet. Wet clothing is likely to cling to the skin, increasing the risk of irritation. Everyone's skin is different—some people are susceptible to rashes and breakouts, while others are resilient. If you have folliculitis (or are prone to it), try to avoid coming into contact with any substances that you know to cause you irritation (especially substances you're allergic to), as the irritation can lead to an infection or sidetrack the healing process of an existing infection. You may, for instance, want to avoid certain cosmetics, oils, lotions, rubs, and so on....

Article in English: Follow a unified colour scheme.  For example, choose bottoms in black or khaki, with a matching sweater or jacket if appropriate. This will allow you to take a smaller number of clothes.     Choose tops that will match all bottoms. As tops are generally lighter than pants, you will be able to pack a few more without adding extra weight.     Generally, three bottoms (black or khaki cotton pants, dress pants, and jeans) should be sufficient, with three long sleeved shirts, one to two sweaters, a jacket, and a few t-shirts to layer under clothing.    You may surprise yourself considerably! One for walking, one for business/formal wear and one for the weather you'll be encountering.  Consider hiring or buying boots if you encounter snow or wet environments. These can be too heavy to cart around on a long trip. All sports boots or shoes should be hired.     Flip flops cost nothing. Buy them when you're in the country or area rather than dragging them along with you. Then leave them behind when you're done.    If you're doing a round-the-world trip, you are likely to encounter all sorts of weather, including cold, wet, hot and dry. This makes carrying clothing a bit of a logistical nightmare. What can make it easier is to either send home clothing mid-way, especially after cold country visits, or decide to give it away to people before leaving the country. Choose clothing you don't mind giving up if you're going to give it away. Perhaps select a wardrobe of items you're never going to wear again, but are close to being donated anyway. Or, do a deliberate shop at the thrift store to purchase gear only for the trip and to be given away as you go. You won't be so invested in it that way but do be sure to choose stuff that looks fabulous on you, or you'll regret taking it with you.    Don't travel with valuable jewelry unless you want to advertise the theft opportunity. Leave that stuff at home. Take only what is useful, such as a watch, a money holder, a scarf, a hat, etc. Consider buying accessories as light, easily...

Article in English: Follow the agreements that you make with them. Never lie to them about how you are going to use the increased independence you’ve negotiated.  If you have a cell phone, answer your parents’ messages and calls. They might reach out more frequently at first, while they adjust to your increased independence. Be patient. Don’t be late. If you are supposed to be home by 10pm, aim to be home by 9:45pm – that way, you have a buffer in case you’re held up by a slow bus, for instance. If you can’t help being late, get in touch with your parents as soon as possible to let them know the situation. The ability to delay gratification in order to keep your word to someone else is an important sign of maturity. It also demonstrates that you are developing a good character. Don’t let your emotions or desires run away with you, so that you make bad choices or speak irresponsibly. This is an important part of showing that you can make good decisions.  It’s natural to get angry sometimes, for example, but don’t fly off the handle. Make a plan to calm yourself down.  If you feel your blood boiling, take a deep breath, count to ten, or excuse yourself to go outside or to the restroom. Your brain is set up to seek out more dangerous, risky behavior during this time in your life. While this is a natural part of adolescence, your parents also need to see evidence that you can rein in your desires and take care of yourself. Never do illegal drugs. If you are old enough to be in a sexual relationship, practice safer sex, including using condoms or other forms of barrier protection. For example, most parents monitor what websites their teenagers visit and how they use social media. These limits are part of your parents’ job. Don’t compare your parents to your friends’ parents. No one likes being pressured by these sorts of comparisons. And, it’s likely that you don’t know the whole story, even about your friends’ lives. Instead, focus on your own relationship with your parents. Another marker of maturity that your parents will...

Демонстрируйте родителям свою готовность проявлять внимание по отношению к другим людям.


Article in English: Follow the directions above for making your own sopapilla dough, but don’t cut the dough into triangles. These will need to be fried, not baked, so pour oil into a pan and heat to 400 degrees. You will need to pour a bit more oil that you would for regular sopapillas, as these will take up more space because of the filling. Flatten the dough so it is thin but without holes, and then cut it into circles between 6–8 inches (15.2–20.3 cm) in diameter. For these, you can use nearly any filling imaginable. For a savory sopapilla, fill the dough with rice, beans, and meat. For a sopapilla that can be eaten for dessert, try using a pie filling or chocolate chips. Thoroughly close the edges of the dough around the filling by rolling them in slightly and then pinching them tightly. It is very important the edges be closed to not leak filing into your frying oil and create a big mess. Place each into the hot oil, waiting 1-2 minutes on each side for the sopapilla to turn golden brown. Fry as many at once as the pan size will allow. Place them onto a wire rack covered in paper towels to allow the excess oil to drain off. Allow time to cool, at least ten minutes. Although your sopapillas are filled, you can choose to add more on top as well. For a savory sopapilla, top with cheese or salsa. A dessert sopapilla can rolled in more cinnamon and sugar or sprinkled with powdered sugar.
