Article in English: . In order to make the best music you can, it is important to have it in the proper position. You should always use a shoulder strap to hold the bass so that when you are playing your hands can focus on making the sounds you want to hear.  You can sit or stand up, but make sure that you have good posture in either position. Also, make sure that the shoulder strap holds your bass at the same level regardless of whether you are sitting or standing. The bass should be held somewhere between your hips and collarbones. Most people tend to play with it held near their bellybutton, but it’s all personal preference. The guitar should be held at about a 30 degree angle, so as to prevent the need to uncomfortably angle your wrists so much. . The standard tuning on a 4-string bass guitar is E-A-D-G, with E being the low string and G being the high string. You can learn how to tune your guitar by ear, which is often inexact, or plug your bass into an electric tuner, which is more exact. To make a string go up or go down in pitch, turn the tuning heads, also called tuning machines. The bass guitar, unlike other guitars, is only ever plucked rather than strummed. It is important to maintain good plucking practices though, to create the best sounding music. The bass can be picked like a guitar as well, which is a matter of musical preferences.  Always keep your nails trimmed short. Your nails will change the sound of the guitar if used against the strings. Pluck using two fingers to increase efficiency. Alternate plucking between your index and middle finger. It doesn’t matter which you start with, as long as you keep the speed and rhythm between them consistent. Pluck the strings closer to the neck for a flat, warm tone. If you pluck nearer to the bridge at the bottom, the strings will give a more percussive sound. When you practice, keep your plucking isolated to a small area without a lot of movement up and down the strings. Pluck the strings by rolling over them with your fingertips. Don’t actually pull on the strings,...

Article in English: . It's important to be heard when you speak, so raise your voice! If you tend to whisper, mumble or speak with your head down, it is much easier for people to talk over you or ignore you.  However, this doesn't mean you should shout - rather, you should vary the loudness of your speech depending on the situation. For example, if you're addressing a large group of people it will be necessary to speak loudly in order to project your voice. But speaking too loudly in normal, everyday conversation is unnecessary and can give the wrong impression. . Speaking too quickly is a bad habit and it can be difficult for people to keep up with you or even understand what you're saying. This makes it easy for them to tune out and stop listening.   Therefore, it's important to slow down your speech by saying your words more slowly and pausing between sentences - this helps to add emphasis to what you're saying and gives you a chance to take a breath! On the other hand, it's a good idea not to speak too slowly. Speaking too slowly can be monotonous for your listeners, so they may become impatient and just tune out. The ideal speaking rate is somewhere between 120 and 160 words per minute. However, if you're giving a speech, it's a good idea to alter the speed at which you speak - speaking slowly can help to emphasize a point, while speaking more quickly can give the impression of passion and enthusiasm. . Speaking clearly is possibly the most important aspect of developing a good speaking voice. You need to pay close attention to each and every word you say - pronouncing it fully and correctly. Make sure to open your mouth, loosen your lips and keep your tongue and teeth in the correct position as you speak. This may also help eliminate or disguise a lisp, if you have one. It might feel odd at first, but if you consistently make the effort to pronounce your words correctly, it will soon come naturally to you. . Deep breathing is essential for a full, rich speaking voice. The majority of people breathe too quickly and...

Article in English: . Keeping your mouth clean, including the area of your partially erupted wisdom teeth, is vital to your oral health. It is easiest to clean your partially erupted teeth with a narrow-headed toothbrush because it can clean the hard-to-reach spots that normal toothbrushes can't get to.  Brush at least twice a day, including in the morning and before bedtime. You may also want to consider brushing after meals to help remove any debris that may be lingering.

Article in English: . Kicking this habit can help prevent gangrene and its escalation as smoking contributes to the slow blockage of blood supply to the blood vessels. When the blood stops flowing, tissues die, and that's when gangrene can set in. Anything that cuts off circulation needs to be avoided, and this certainly includes smoking.  The active ingredient in cigarettes, nicotine, is what greatly affects the blood vessels. It constricts the blood vessels, therefore resulting in less blood flow. If a body part has less blood flow, it will also have less oxygen. The prolonged lack of oxygen in body tissues causes it to become necrotic tissue (dead tissue), which can lead to gangrene formation. Smoking is also associated with a number of vascular disorders that can cause the narrowing and hardening of blood vessels. It is advisable to gradually stop smoking rather than suddenly all at once because it can result in intense withdrawal symptoms, which in turn make it difficult to stay committed to quitting. Ask your doctor to help you quit smoking. With gangrene, tissue and muscle are damaged due to poor blood circulation. Therefore, it is advisable to eat foods high in protein and calories in order to aid in muscle and tissue repair. Protein can also help re-build damaged muscles, while nutrient-rich (rather than the empty calories of junk food) give your body energy to undertake the processes it needs to function. Foods high in protein but low in fat, so as to avoid clogging up your arteries, include turkey, fish, cheese, lean pork, lean beef, tofu, beans, eggs, and peanuts. Avoid fatty foods like red meat, butter, lard, hard cheese, cakes and biscuits, and fried food. Try instead to incorporate more dark, leafy green vegetables into your diet. Germanium is an antioxidant and is believed to increase oxygen function in the body, though much of the evidence at present remains anecdotal. It also enhances the immune system and has anti-cancer properties.  Foods high in germanium include garlic, onions, shiitake mushrooms, whole...

Article in English: . Kissing isn't just about paying attention to what you and your partner's lips are doing. Your whole body should be involved in the act of making out to achieve the most sensual and pleasurable experience possible. The way your partner moves the rest of his/her body while you are kissing can tell you a lot about how they are feeling and what they think about your performance.   Positive signs to look for: Your partner pulling you closer, squeezing you with his/her hands, kissing and caressing with a sense of intense urgency, breaking into random smiles or giggles, or frequent sighing. If you notice that your partner reacts in a particularly positive way to certain actions, be sure to take note. Your partner will appreciate your attentiveness and definitely recognize that you are making an impressive effort to understand what makes them feel the best.  Negative signs to look for: Your partner pulling away, pushing your shoulder away, not touching you at all with his/her hands, barely moving his/her lips, or trying to close his/her lips as much as possible to force you to stop. A mini massage of these sensitive areas can be extremely arousing. Lightly run your fingers and gently run your thumb in a sweeping motion over these areas. You can be a little more rough with these areas. A tight squeeze of your partner can send chills throughout their body. If you're feeling particularly sassy, give your partner a little butt squeeze. You'll be able to tell where they like to be touched by their body language. Move your fingers and/or thumb gently back and forth in a swaying motion to sweetly show your partner that you're there.  While women generally put their hands on a man's shoulders and men generally wrap their arms around a woman's waist, your position will more practically depend on the height difference between you and your partner. That being said, the placement isn't really important, the recognition of each other is what counts. Then go in for the kiss. This slight moment of visual recognition coupled with...

Article in English: . Let your new friends know that you care about them by listening actively when they talk to you. Give them your full attention, for example. Don’t interrupt while they talk but face them, keep eye contact, and even ask questions about what they think and feel. Try to understand their experiences by stepping into their shoes.  Do your best to cheer up friends who’re feeling down. At the same time, though, don’t feel you need to give them advice unless they ask for it. Sometimes, people just want to be heard. Many shy people are great listeners, so if you have this skill, make the most of it. People want to spend time with others who are positive and uplifting. Get into the habit of looking for the good side of every situation and every person you come across. If you are prone to complaining, tone it down, especially in the early stages of a friendship.  You don’t have to act fake or be happy all the time, but a positive mindset will help you attract and keep more friends. Encourage people around you, too! Being positive means celebrating others’ hard work, dreams, and accomplishments. Let your friendships develop naturally over time. Don’t try to force closeness – you can’t become someone’s best friend in a week. Enjoy the time you spend with your new friends without becoming clingy or needy.  For instance, don’t start talking about your deepest personal issues if you’ve only known someone for a week or two. If you’re not sure how much to talk to your friends, try to mirror their level of involvement in the relationship. For instance, if they text you every day, it’s probably okay for you to text them every day, too.

Article in English: . Many people believe that multitasking increases productivity, but the truth is tackling things one at a time will allow you to complete more in less time.  Break tasks into smaller chunks if needed. One huge job can seem overwhelming, but if you break it down into sections, it becomes more manageable. For example, "write an essay" seems big, but if you start with "brainstorm ideas" and "write a topic sentence," each part becomes a much smaller and more achievable goal. As you do each task, check it off your to-do list. This feels great, and can motivate you to keep going down the list.    The breaks should be no longer then  8-10 minutes. During this time you should stretch and exercise a bit. This will help you come back to the task with more focus, and keep at it for a longer period of time overall. In particular, drink lots of water. Your brain and body can only work properly if you are hydrated. While drinks and snacks can be distracting, they also help keep your energy up. If you're thirst or hungry, don't ignore these feelings - take care of them, and get back to work. . This may seem tedious, but a tidy space means a tidy mind. This shouldn't be a problem if you've already removed the main distractions before beginning work, but if you hear your phone ring, or get a Facebook alert, ask yourself: is it worth breaking my work flow? If there's something urgent you need to take care of, do, but if it's something you can take care of later, wait for your break. If you lose site of why you're working so hard, look back at your to-do list and try to refocus on your motivation. If needed, taking a few moments to re-adjust your mindset like this will help you stay on task. Give yourself the rewards you had promised yourself. Be honest with yourself - if you do not complete the task, do not reward yourself.

Article in English: . Many people with this phobia are further traumatized by feeling embarrassed or ashamed about it. They’ll go to great lengths to avoid facing their fear. However, accepting your phobia is the first step towards addressing it. Being afraid of deep water is a common thing that affects millions of people. Everyone has a different degree of comfort with water, and very few people are entirely comfortable in deep-water situations. It’s nothing to ashamed of. Studies indicate that over half of American adults are fearful of deep water. Before you try to face water, take time to think back about when you first realized that your were afraid of it. Was there a particular incident or influential person that sparked your phobia? If you can recognize the origin of your fear, it can sometimes help to understand and deal with your anxiety. For example, if your father was terrified of deep water, it’s likely that he passed on the fear to you. Or, if you were in a boat that capsized, that might have triggered your phobia. If you understand that there’s a logical starting point, it may allow you to cope better with what can seem like an irrational terror.

Article in English: . Nobody feels happy when they’re sick! Even doing something as simple as taking a multivitamin with vitamins C, E, and A, selenium, and beta-carotene might help to boost your immunity. Having a strong immune system allows you to respond better to stress or physical illness. Other strategies such as regular exercise, getting adequate rest, and maintaining a healthy diet are also important for boosting immunity. . Exercising affects the release of endorphins, which transmit messages to the brain, translating into positive feelings. Regular exercise not only combats depression, anxiety, and feelings of loneliness, but also strengthens your immune system. Even walking for exercise can increase your antibody and T-killer cell response. . Sleep is strongly linked to a person’s health, stress levels, weight and quality of life. Moreover, while you sleep, your body produces cells that fight infection, inflammation, and stress, which means that getting too little sleep makes you more prone to getting sick and increases the time you need to recover from illness.  Exercising is one of the absolute best ways to sleep better at night. Scientists are finding that friendly bacteria in the soil actually trigger the brain to produce serotonin (much like how antidepressants work). If you have a garden, get out there and dig.

Article in English: . Not every yellow-black bug with a stinger is a wasp. There's a big difference between wasps, yellow-jackets, and honeybees, and since there's never any reason to kill a honeybee, it's a good idea to learn to differentiate between them quickly so you don't make a mistake and kill a good pollinator.  Wasps and yellow-jackets are usually skinny and smooth, and build small cone-shaped nests that are quite papery. Wasps aren't pollinators and are quite pesky, so it's usually ok to swat them when they come into your space. Honeybees are hairy, shorter, and more rounded than wasps. They're usually harmless when left alone and are a critical and endangered part of the ecosystem. Never kill a honeybee. If a wasp has gotten trapped in your house, the easiest way to get rid of it isn't swatting, it's opening up a way for the wasp to get out, where it really wants to be in the first place. Open up the exterior windows and doors, and then close off access to the rest of the house and wait for the wasp to leave. This shouldn't take more than a few minutes.  Make sure you're not opening windows that are right next to a wasp nest outside, before you try to open the windows. If you're outside and you see a wasp, just leave it alone. Swatting at single wasps can attract other wasps, which can become quite dangerous. Use a small lidded jar to trap the wasp and release it outside. Wait for the wasp to land somewhere, then sneak up on it with your open jar and a piece of paper. Trap the jar over the wasp on the wall or the table where it lands, then slide the piece of paper underneath to trap it inside.  Always wait for the wasp to land on some easily accessible surface before you try to trap it. Swinging wildly at a wasp will get you stung more often than it will trap the wasp. If you're allergic, don't do this by yourself. Get someone else to try to trap the wasp, or just open the windows and steer clear of it. If you must do this, wear some thick gloves and cover all the exposed areas of your body before you try. Release or...

The operation's really humming. Where have YOU been?"  Exaggerate your response. If someone says, "You look like crap today" come back with, "Apologies, master. To the stocks with I. Shall I bring 'round the Pinto?" It's usually even funnier to tease someone for something that's obviously not true.

Picking on someone's clothes or hair can be a good way of teasing someone gently and making fun. Avoid picking on people's weight or skin, which can be sensitive areas and cross the line into bullying behavior. Instead, try on disses like this:  "Nice shirt.

Article in English: . Obsidian is the only block that must be mined using a diamond pickaxe. Any lesser tool will destroy the obsidian if you try to mine it. Dig down almost to the bottom of the map and explore. It shouldn't take long to find a large pool of lava. Since you have a diamond pickax, you can turn the whole pool into obsidian at once, instead of transporting the lava in buckets. Create a small wall on one side of the pool, leaving room to put down a water block. This will reduce the chances of water pushing you into the lava. Put the water block down inside the fenced area, one level higher than the lava. It should flow down and turn the surface of the lake into obsidian. Stand at the edge and dig one block deep into the obsidian. There might be another layer of lava beneath it. If you're not careful, you may fall into this lava, or the obsidian bock item will fall before you can catch it, and burn up. If there is lava underneath the obsidian, stand next to the water and mine the obsidian at its edge. The water should rush in as you mine, turning the next layer into obsidian before the lava can cause any damage. Continue to mine as much obsidian as you need, moving the water when necessary.

Article in English: . Place the egg in a small saucepan and cover it with 1 inch (2.5 cm) of cold water. Transfer the saucepan to the stove and heat the water to a boil. Immediately turn the heat off and cover the saucepan, cooking the egg in the warm water for another 12 to 15 minutes.  Consider adding a pinch of salt to the water before boiling it to make the peeling process easier. You should turn the heat off immediately after the water begins to boil. Cooking the egg in this manner prevents the egg from being overcooked. Remove the egg from the hot water using a slotted spoon and rinse it thoroughly under cold running water. Keep it there until it feels cool enough to handle, but not yet ice cold. Chilling the egg makes it easier to handle, and chilling the egg quickly helps separate the shell from the cooked egg white. When using the egg for this process, though, you want to keep the egg a little warm, so you should avoid cooling it down too much. Roll the egg gently on a flat surface to crack the shell. Then, use your fingers to peel away the rest of the shell. You'll want to preserve as much of the egg as possible, but don't worry if you lose a few chunks of egg white as you peel off the shell. The egg should still produce enough sulfur as it sits to give your brass a patina finish. Use a kitchen knife to cut the egg in half lengthwise. Note that both the egg white and egg yolk should be cut in two.  Keep the yolk and white together instead of separating them. The egg yolk is an important part of this process, so it is important that you expose it in this step. Place both halves of your boiled egg into a resealable plastic bag, along with your brass piece. Seal the bag well.  Only use a bag with an airtight seal. The brass does not need to directly touch the egg. Let the bag sit out at room temperature for several hours. After several hours pass, you should notice a subtle patina forming on the brass.  The egg yolk is giving off sulfuric gas, and that gas is responsible for giving the brass a patina finish. Keep the egg...

Article in English: . Rewrite the quadratic equation in its factored form. There are several ways to factor out a quadratic equation, but when done, you should be left with two sets of parentheses that, when multiplied together, equal your original equation. Example: (using decomposition)  3x2 - 6x - 45 Factor out the common factor: 3 (x2 - 2x - 15) Multiply the a and c terms: 1 * -15 = -15 Find two numbers with a product that equals -15 and a sum that equals the b value, -2: 3 * -5 = -15; 3 - 5 = -2 Substitute the two values into the equation ax2 + kx + hx + c: 3(x2 + 3x - 5x - 15) Factor the polynomial by grouping: f(x) = 3 * (x + 3) * (x - 5) Whenever the function of x, f(x), equals 0, the parabola will cross the x-axis. This will occur when either set of factors equals 0. Example: 3 * (x + 3) * (x - 5) = 0  х +3 = 0 х - 5 = 0 х = -3 ; х = 5 Therefore, the roots are: (-3, 0) and (5, 0) The axis of symmetry for the equation will lie directly in between the two roots of the equation. You need to know the axis of symmetry since the vertex lies on it. Example: x = 1; this value lies directly between -3 and 5 Plug the x value for your axis of symmetry into either equation for your parabola. The y value will be the y value for your vertex. Example: y = 3x2 - 6x - 45 = 3(1)2 - 6(1) - 45 = -48 At this point, your last calculated x and y values should give you the coordinates of your vertex. Example: (1, -48)

Article in English: . Rinse both the glutinous (sticky) rice and long-grained rice in cool, clean water. Drain the water when done.  Pour the rice into a large glass bowl and add roughly three times as much water to the bowl. Use your hands to move the rice around the bowl while it is still submerged under the water. Pour the contents of the bowl through a fine-mesh colander. Discard the water and save the rice. Pour the cooking oil into a medium saucepan with tall sides and a heavy bottom. Set the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Allow the oil to heat up for 30 to 60 seconds before proceeding. Add the minced garlic and sliced ginger to the hot oil. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes.  The two ingredients should become lightly toasted and notably fragrant during this time. Watch the garlic and ginger closely to prevent them from burning. Place the rinsed rice in the saucepan and pour the stock on top. Stir well to combine.  Scrape the bottom and sides of the pot as you stir its contents. Doing so will minimize the risk of rice sticking to the pan. Most lugaw recipes use homemade stock, but a high-quality commercial broth can offer just as much flavor. Some cooks even prefer to use plain water instead of stock or broth, but doing so will create a much blander taste. If you want to season the lugaw, you should add any desired fish sauce (Patis) and black pepper now.  This step is only optional. You do not need to add either seasoning to the dish. If you aren't sure how much to use, start by adding 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) pepper and 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) fish paste. You can add more throughout the process as desired to suit your tastes. Bring the lugaw to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 30 to 60 minutes, or until the grains of rice become notably puffy.  The overall texture of the dish should be very thick when finished. Stir the contents of the saucepan frequently during the cooking process. Doing so causes the rice to release more starch, thereby creating a thicker lugaw. If the contents of the...

Article in English: . Shaving is probably the most common option when it comes to pubic hair removal, as it is cheap, easy, relatively painless, and embarrassment free. You will need some gentle, unfragranced shaving cream or gel (both men and women should use a women's shaving cream, as it is the gentlest), preferably one designed specifically for removing pubic hair, and a new razor (dull blades will be less effective and can cause irritation).  First, trim the hair from the areas you intend to shave -- you can choose to just remove the hair around the bikini or brief line, or you can go the whole hog and remove it all. Razors work best and cause the least pulling and irritation on short hair, so aim to trim the hair to about 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) in length. Soften the hair using hot water in the bath or shower for 3 to 5 minutes before you shave. Alternatively, you can apply a warm compress to the area to achieve the same effect. Apply your chosen shaving cream to the area, taking care to avoid the genitals. It may be wise to test the shaving cream on a small patch of skin 24 hours before shaving, as some creams may cause an allergic reaction.  Pull the skin around your pubic area taut using your free hand -- shaving works best on flat surfaces. Begin shaving, without applying any pressure to the razor (if you need to apply pressure, your razor is too dull). Shaving upwards (against the direction of hair growth) will give you the closest, smoothest shave, while shaving downwards (with the hair growth) will minimize irritation for people with sensitive skin and reduce the risk of developing ingrown hairs.  Once you've removed the desired amount of hair, wash the area thoroughly with warm water to remove any cream, pat the area dry with a clean towel, then apply a soothing lotion to reduce irritation. . Depilatory creams are a good option for people who just want to tidy up their bikini or brief line, with as little pain as possible. These hair removal creams work by using strong chemicals which actually dissolve the hair so it can...

Article in English: . Smiling brightens up your face and allows your inner beauty to shine through. It gives the impression of happiness and confidence, while also making you more attractive to others. Smiling more often will help you to look your best, regardless of whether you're wearing makeup or not. A healthy glow can transform your appearance, making your skin appear more radiant and your complexion smoother and more even-toned. If you can achieve a tan naturally, while also wearing protection, that's great. However, tanning beds and other options like these are expensive and occasionally cause skin cancer, so try a spray-on tan (good quality—you don't want to look fake) or for your face, bronzer for an extra little sun-kissed glow. Look for facial moisturizers which will slowly build up a natural-looking tan and leave you looking sun-kissed, no matter the weather. Looking and feeling healthy has a lot to do with what you put into your body. Skin, especially, can be affected by a poor diet and healthy skin is essential to looking good without makeup. Try to cut out as many greasy, fatty, sugary foods as possible and load up on fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean meats instead.  Remember to drink plenty of water to flush out your system, keep skin looking healthy and prevent you from feeling bloated. Take a vitamin supplement if you feel you are not getting all of your daily requirements from your diet alone. Vitamins A, C and E are all particularly beneficial for the skin. True beauty shines from within, so stop believing that you need your mascara to feel confident and start believing in you. Stand up tall, with your shoulders back and your chin up. Make eye contact with people and smile frequently. Remember that makeup is simply a tool used to emphasize certain features—your natural beauty has been there all along.

Summary in Russian:

Больше улыбайтесь. Загорайте. Правильно питайтесь. Будьте уверенны в себе.


Article in English: . Smiling makes you look friendly, approachable and cheerful. These are qualities that people generally like to associate themselves with, in case you didn't already know! Turns out no one likes approaching strangers and putting themselves out there, so smiling is the first thing you can do to show them you're not scary. Even the most confident of people find it reassuring. And it doesn't cost a thing. That's when you do just that -- you adopt their body positioning and/or facial expression like their reflection in a mirror. It unconsciously tells the other person that you're like them or that you feel the same way. Ever been to a rock concert and you leave feeling that rush of being with 1,000 others all feeding off each other? It's because you're all swaying, moshing, and rocking out together. The same goes in a normal, everyday conversation! Very few words (or none) can be exchanged and you can still feel a bond. If you purposefully go out of your way to do this 24/7, you'll probably be caught. But for 90 seconds, you're good to go. So mirror the angle of their body, put your arms in a similar position, and mirror their face, too. You'll probably feel the exchange of energy, too. Imagine meeting someone who is constantly looking three feet over your right shoulder. You'd practically have to trick yourself into not waving your hand over their face and screaming, "Buddy! I'm over here!" Save them the temptation and make good eye contact. It tells them that you're listening, you're interested, and you're engaged with them and the words they're saying. Not making eye contact is usually mistaken as just being rude. If this is an issue for you, try tricking yourself by staring at the top of their nose, or only looking at them when they're talking and taking breaks while you're talking. You don't need to be looking at them 100% of the time. That'd be intense! This is important to show that you are polite and respectful -- if you don't, you risk looking rude and unapproachable. To paint the right picture in your...

Article in English: . Smoking and chewing tobacco raises a person's blood pressure while they are using these products, but they have long term effects on blood pressure as well. The chemicals in these substances can damage the lining of artery walls which can cause arteries to narrow, thereby increasing blood pressure. Drinking too much can severely damage many parts of your body including your heart and liver, but it can also lead to high blood pressure. Drinking alcohol can also interfere with medication you might be on to control your high blood pressure. Too much sodium in a person's diet can cause them to retain fluid, which may increase blood pressure. Limiting junk food and other foods that are high in sodium may help lower your blood pressure. Potassium helps your cells balance out their sodium content/intake. If you don't consume enough potassium, your cells may hold on to too much sodium which can lead to higher blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure, try eating more foods that are high in potassium like bananas, potatoes, yogurt, orange juice, lentils, pistachios, etc. Vitamin D can effect enzymes produced by your kidneys that affects high blood pressure, so taking a vitamin D supplement can help lower your blood pressure. . High levels of stress can seriously affect your body, including your blood pressure. This is especially true if you use tobacco, alcohol, or food to combat the effects of your stress. Try relaxing more without these substances by reading a book, taking a bath, going for a walk, etc. This can help lower your blood pressure.

Article in English: . Start by just saying “Hi!”or "Hello!" to the person who sits next to you in class. Talk or complain about your homework, like, “That worksheet took me forever!” As you get to know them, start asking what’s new in their life. It’s hard at first, but the more people you talk to, the more relaxed and confident you’ll feel.  Try sitting with somebody new at lunch. Say, “Wow, your sandwich looks good,” or, “Can you believe the cafeteria served pizza today?” Relax and act normally when you talk to new people--you don’t want it to seem like you’re trying too hard. Let your new friendships progress slowly and naturally, and don’t force anyone to be your friend if they’re not interested. Exchange phone numbers and talk or text them a few times a week. It can be something as simple as, “I’m so bored. What’s up with you?” Invite them to hang out by saying something like, “Do you want to go to the mall this weekend? My mom can drive!”  Use a cell phone if you have one, but it’s okay if you don’t. Ask your parents if it’s okay to talk to your friends on the landline. If they’re worried about you spending too much time on the phone, say you’ll limit it to just half an hour a day. Follow your new friends and share funny videos, link to cool websites, and pictures of places you go. Use your pictures and posts to show who you really are and not the person you think people will like.  Stay safe online. Don’t chat with people you don’t know and never be cruel to someone on social media. If your parents won’t allow you to have a social media account, remember that they’re only looking out for you. Ask them if you can have social media with some limitations, like not following anyone you don’t know. If they say you’re not old enough, ask what age is okay. Maybe it’s only a year or two! In the meantime, focus on making friends in school and in “real life.” Invite your old group when you make plans with your new friends, or hang out with your old friends separately if they don’t want to mix. Whatever you do, don’t choose...

Article in English: . Take stock of your level of feeling. Now that you have processed the feelings and looked at your situation from all angles, is there another way of interpreting the events that happened? How have your feelings changed since you started processing them? Feelings change as our thoughts change. On your own, or with your loved one, make a list of possible things you can do to change the situation you are in. Consider the consequences, the effort required and whether or not you should ask someone else for help. What you do will be different depending on the individuals involved and your relationship with them (family, romantic partner, friend, acquaintance, coworker, boss) so think about what is appropriate for your situation. Do what you can to change the situation you are in. If you were responsible in some way, be honest about that and take responsibility for your actions. Sincerely apologize for any mistakes you've made and try to make amends. Knowing you did the best you can is an important part of seeking closure for feelings. For whatever reason, if your attempts to resolve the situation are ineffective or if it's literally impossible for you to come to terms with the people involved in this situation (e.g., they're deceased or they have cut off all contact with you), you need to love yourself enough to move on. Know that you’ve done all you can and that you've learned from this situation. Remember the lessons you've learned. Sometimes, it can be tricky to figure out where feelings are coming from. A therapist can help you uncover the source of your feelings and learn ways to deal with them effectively.  You can use this therapist locator to help you find a trained professional in your area. You can also ask your doctor for a referral. It's a common misconception that you have to have huge or unmanageable problems to see a therapist. In fact, a therapist can help you identify the unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving in your everyday life and learn better ways to live an emotionally stable and fulfilling life.

Article in English: . Talk to your cat in a calm, quiet voice while washing.  Sometimes cats will try to get out of the tub. If they prefer to have only two of their feet in the water, face them toward the back of the tub and let them stand on two feet. Do your best to hold them still.   Using a well-fitting harness is recommended to safely hold your cat in the bathtub. A harness allows you to hold them in the bath tub by holding onto the harness instead of the scruff their neck or collar, which could hurt your cat. It's easier to bathe your cat if there are two people involved, especially if your cat is rather strong and can kick and wriggle its way out of your hands. One person can restrain by the scruff and the other bathes the cat.  You should plan to be done as quickly as possible without rushing. Be sure your cat can breathe comfortably while restrained. At no point is it recommended to fight with your cat. A scared 10 pound cat can do a lot of damage to a human (or two). You may need to start with just getting the feet and legs wet and then stop. Try more another day and work your way up to a full bath. If you're nervous or excited about the process, your kitty will know and respond by being nervous too. Use a little bit of shampoo and water to wash your cat's neck, body, legs, belly, and tail. Start at the neck and work toward their tail, in the direction of the growth of their fur. Wash the cat in a massaging motion, so they feel soothed, not scared. Act like you're just petting and grooming your cat and that this trip to the bathtub is nothing special. To minimize the risk of creating an ear infection, put a cotton ball—a small wad of soft material used to stop up a wound or an opening—in each ear. Don't forget to take them out at the end of the bath. The cotton may also reduce the noise and make your job easier. If you are giving your cat a flea bath, wet the area around its neck first. Fleas will try to escape to the dry areas of the cat, which can mean a mass exodus of fleas to the head and face while you are...

Article in English: . The ending of a relationship can often feel similar to the death of a loved one. It's okay to mourn this loss.  Painful emotions cannot simply be swept under the rug. In fact, you will find it much easier to move past your hurt if you confront your emotions without judgement.  Trying to suppress your thoughts will only make them stronger. You may even begin to dream about your ex if you don't allow yourself to experience your thoughts and emotions.  Cry if you want. It feels better when you let all that out, instead of keeping it bottled up inside you forever. Sometimes you just need someone to listen rather than offer advice. Even if you cannot understand why it happened, talking about it can help you accept that the relationship is over.  If you don't feel comfortable talking to a loved one about the breakup, consider seeing a therapist or joining an online support group. It might also help to have an imaginary conversation with your ex about all of your pent-up grievances. This will allow you to talk through all of your feelings without actually having to have contact with your ex, and may help you  find closure. . If you're obsessing about the terrible things you ex did to you, you will never be able to move on! No matter how angry you are, it's important to stop ruminating on these negative thoughts. When dealing with recurring thoughts, it's helpful to confront them head-on. Think about why you are having the thought, how the thought may be distorted or untrue, and what kind of negative effect the thought is having on you in the moment. The more you acknowledge your ruminations, the easier it will be to let go of them. After a breakup, people are often dishonest with themselves about the quality of the relationship or the reasons why it ended. It's important to carefully consider how happy you really were in the relationship and what caused the breakup. This will allow you to move past idealizing what might not have been a great relationship in the first place. It will also help to ask yourself what...

Article in English: . The first step to delivering a masterful performance is memorizing your lines. If you don’t have to worry about your lines, you’ll be able to concentrate on your mechanics and character development.  Read your lines at every opportunity, recite them over and over, and copy them by hand to help commit them to memory. If you have a long passage, say the first line over and over until you remember it, then add the next line. Add one line at a time until you’re comfortable with the entire passage. Enunciation, or speaking clearly, is a vital part of stage acting. Exaggerate your pronunciation so that audience members in the last row will be able to understand every syllable.  Try practicing tongue-twisting vocal exercises, such as, “A proper copper coffee pot,” or “Knit kilts for nasty cold nights.” Even if you’ll be using a microphone system, your audience won’t understand you if you mumble your lines. Fill your belly up with air and use your diaphragm to support your speech. Try to speak clearly and loudly without changing the tone of your voice. Proper projection sounds like talking, but can be heard at a distance. Shouting, on the other hand, is when the tone of your voice becomes harsh and grating. If you have access to your performance space, have someone sit in the last row while you practice projecting your lines. They can let you know how audible you are and whether the quality of your voice changes. Try to find a large hall or similar space if you don't have access to your performance location. Facial expressions and gestures should be more intense. That way, the emotions they convey will be clear from a distance. However, you don’t want to over-act and seem unnatural.  Try setting up a mirror or video camera and stand as far away from it as possible. Practice exaggerating your expressions and try to find your balance between clarity and staying natural. Getting notes from your director or theater-loving friend is also useful. It helps to know the size of your performance space. In a small intimate...

Article in English: . The first step to perfect skin is to figure out a skincare routine that works for you. Everybody's skin is unique, so what works for another person may not work for you. Take a long, hard look at your skin and decide whether it's normal, sensitive, dry, oily, or a combination.  If you have normal skin, you're lucky! Your skin doesn't get oily, your pores are small, your skin tone looks even and you rarely suffer from breakouts.  Sensitive skin tend to be very reactive - it may become dry, itchy or irritated depending on the weather, your lifestyle, and the products you use.  Dry skin usually feels tight after cleansing and can suffer from roughness or flakiness, especially when exposed to cold weather or dry air. Dry skin is prone to wrinkling, and tends to have no visible pores.  Oily skin can become greasy and shiny-looking within an hour after washing. The oil may even seep through your makeup and cause it to slide off. Oily skin is prone to blemishes and breakouts, and has visible pores.  Combination skin means that your skin can be dry and oily. It might be flaky and rough around the edges, but oily along the t-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). Combination skin tends to have visible pores only in the t-zone area. In addition, whether you have a light skin tone, medium skin tone or dark skin tone will also dictate what issues your skin is prone to, and should be taken into consideration when choosing skincare products. twice a day. Washing your face is super important as it cleans away dirt, oil, bacteria and traces of make-up that would otherwise be left sitting on your skin.  Stick to washing your face twice a day - once in the morning to cleanse any oil that has built up overnight, and once in the evening to remove any dirt and make-up from the day. If you don’t use makeup, you may not need to wash your face twice a day. Pin your hair back before you begin washing, to ensure that you have access to all the edges of your face. To cleanse your face, splash your face with warm water. Hot water can be too...
