Others can often perceive someone’s potential reaction to teasing by the way they act under pressure. If your perspective on teasing is the same as theirs—that it makes you get angry—then making fun of your quirks is what a bully is likely to do. But if your perspective is indifferent towards teasing, you may find that bullies don’t think you’re much fun—and they’ll leave you alone. Instead of engaging with the bully and teasing them back, wait until they are done taunting you throw and a one-liner at them before walking away. After saying your line, shrug, turn on your heels, and walk calmly away. This displays that you aren’t easily ruffled, making you a boring target. You can try one-liners like these:   “Thanks for telling me that.” “Oh, I thought I was cool.” “So what’s your point?” Try to keep a sincere tone of voice instead of a sarcastic or angry tone, as this might display your irritation and perpetuate the teasing. Using a confident tone of voice displays your refusal to back down to the teasing. Don’t sound like you are going to cry; don’t sound like you are angry or upset; and don’t whine. Instead—even if you’re shy—raise your voice so that they can hear you and make your tone even and strong.  A shaky voice is also an indicator that the teasing has worked to upset you. Looking as strong as you sound is also important. You can communicate your inner confidence—or look like you have inner confidence, even if you don’t feel it—by using body language to your advantage. Things like gesturing when you talk and having good posture help your body take up more space, making you actually feel confident.  Make sure that your posture is assertive. Stand with your feet firmly planted on the ground, your arms hanging down at your sides, and your hands relaxed. Maintain eye contact with the bully and keep your face relaxed. You might even want to smile a little, since this demonstrates assertiveness.  Try power posing for extra confidence. Standing in a powerful position can increase your sense of well-being...

Our bodies make very small amounts of DHA naturally; however, the amount is not enough to support healthy growth and development.  In general, it's recommended to consume about 300-500 mg daily for adults.  Adequate levels of DHA support fetal brain development and their ability to learn.  In adults, it supports normal brain function and also has been shown to decrease the risk of heart disease and Alzheimer's Disease. Fatty, cold-water fish is one of the best sources of naturally occurring DHA.  Adding these types of fish and shellfish to your diet can help increase your intake of DHA.  Fatty fish to try include: salmon, anchovies, sardines, mackerel, trout, tuna, halibut, herring, caviar, shellfish, and whitefish.  Try to include two to three servings of fatty, cold-water fish every week.  Each serving should be about 4-6 ounces.  This results in about 1,250 mg of DHA a week. Both wild and farmed version of fish contain high levels of DHA.  Either option is appropriate and will help increase your overall DHA consumption.  Children and pregnant women should avoid consuming fish that have high levels of mercury. The types of fish that are most likely to include contaminants, in general, whether wild or farmed, include mackerel, swordfish, tilefish, and shark. Eggs are another source of naturally occurring DHA.  In an egg that has not been fortified, you consume about 70 mg of DHA per egg.  However, eggs that are fortified with DHA contain about 160-200 mg of DHA per egg.  It's now considered safe and healthy to consume eggs on a regular or daily basis.  Studies have shown that eating eggs does not increase your cholesterol.  Although non-fortified eggs generally contain some DHA, they are not a consistent source.  This is due to the differing diets that hens have prior to laying eggs.  However, choosing fortified eggs gives you an more accurate amount of DHA. Algae is another great source of naturally occurring DHA.  The algae are also what makes fish high in DHA — small fish consume the DHA-rich algae and...

Our lives are filled with others who we must work and share with, and yet, often have vastly different styles and priorities from. Are there conversations you've wanted to have, but pushed aside for fear of the person's response? Without judging or accusing the other person, talk about the ways you differ. Then, you can brainstorm about how you might proceed with these differences in mind. Sometimes, these differences involve quick fixes that take the frustration and dissatisfaction out of daily life. For example, you might have a co-worker who always leaves you responsible for your least favorite task, filing papers. If you calmly let your co-worker know that filing papers is a major source of upset for you, you could work out a way to share the burden. Perhaps your co-worker simply forgets to file papers and doesn't mind taking on the task entirely. Either way, you'll feel empowered for making an adjustment that frees up more time for enjoyable activities. Make checking in with yourself and your priorities a regular occurrence. Imagine that you are hanging out with a dear friend to whom you can vent your deepest insecurities and questions about the direction of your life. Now, see that you can be that friend to yourself. If you are as kind and understanding as your friend would be, you can expect an even greater degree of intimacy and understanding than you ever could from another person. The more time by yourself spent outside, the better. When possible, spend your alone time in the backyard or at a nearby park. This will make it so you have fewer reminders of the other things you need to be doing and more reminders of the beauty there for you to slow down and appreciate. Without realizing it, many of us go through our days thinking thoughts like, "I can't do this." or "I'm not good enough." Every time you notice that you're putting yourself down or judging yourself to be incompetent, try countering it with an affirmation of what you can do. Say you were assigned a paper in class with a long, confusing...

Outdoor flowers are a favorite for bugs and other wildlife (roses are like deer crème brulee). Treat your flowers or build them a removable greenhouse to keep them safe and growing happily. Some flowers require full sun, some prefer partial, or even full shade. Make the most of your house to provide these needs - use the sunny side for sun-lovers and the shady side for shade-dwellers. Weeds will take away resources from your flowers and keep them from reaching their full potential. Generally, you know this. But what you may not be doing is staying really vigilant. If you can weed every day or every two days, that is best. Don't just occasionally remove one or two really bad weeds. Try to get them all. Remove blossoms which have begun to wilt, remove excess flowers before they start to bloom, and cut back dead or overgrown branches. This will help your plant to focus on the blossoms that you want it to. You want to save your plants from the risks associated with frost. Carefully time plantings and transplants so that it is not too cold or too hot. They are delicate and often can't handle the shock! Some plants bloom better if you prune or cut them back at specific times of year. For example, summer-blooming trees and bushes benefit from a winter pruning. Look up the specifics for the types of plants you have. Plant them in good, suitable soil with plenty of compost for nutrition, mulch for water retention and space to grow. You'll also want to pay attention to the pH. Check what is recommended for the flowers you grow and adjust your soil accordingly. If you have an entire garden that requires constant high maintenance, then none of your special blossoms are going to be able to get the attention they really need. Mix flowers you don't have to pay as much attention to with those that need more care to help ensure that all of your flowers reach their full potential. It is important to get the watering balance right - don't over water or the flowers might rot. Don't underwater or they might not get enough and...

Outline the rules of the world and how the inhabitants are governed. Is there one central system or power? Does each district, area, or state have its own governing system?  Think about how the government operates in the world. Is it closer to a democracy or more like a dictatorship? For example, the district that the main character lives in could be a dictatorship that's surrounded by a high wall. Or maybe the state they live in is a democracy that's falling apart. Decide how right and wrong is determined in the world. Outline the legal system in detail. What are the laws and rules in the world? What is considered right and wrong in the world? Are the rules the same for the entire world or different in certain areas? For example, if you use the United States' legal system as a model, you could adjust it so that there's an dwarven council instead of a Congress, and an elven committee instead of a House of Representatives. Determine what happens if an inhabitant in the world breaks the rules. How do they get punished? What is the penalty for committing a crime? Decide if prisons exist in the world and how they operate. It can be based on an existing system, or you can create your own. Determine how the inhabitants are organized in the world. Are the inhabitants distinguished by class, race, and gender? Does the social hierarchy discriminate against certain groups or types of inhabitants?  For example, you may have a social hierarchy that is based on species, where aliens are at the top and humans are at the bottom. You could also have a social hierarchy based on gender, where females are considered more important than males. Or a social hierarchy where inhabitants are ranked by class, with the poor having more power than the rich.

Over the counter emetics, or medicines that can make you throw up, should be avoided unless a medical professional directs you to take some as a last resort. Ipecac syrup, for instance, was once commonly used to induce vomiting. However, it has been shown that medications such as these can complicate treatment for poisoning. In fact, ipecac is no longer produced for over-the-counter sales. While salt water is a classic home remedy to induce vomiting, it may actually pose a risk to a poisoning victim.  This is because drinking salt water can push toxic substances further into the digestive track and speed up absorption of the substance in the process. Furthermore, drinking large amounts of salt water may cause serious health complications, including death. Folk methods of inducing vomiting include drinking mustard or raw eggs, or eating large amount of food. The safety and effectiveness of these methods has not been proven. For instance, eating a large amount of food to induce vomiting may actually speed up absorption of a poisonous substance. There are a handful of substances that can induce vomiting but are not recommended. These include activated charcoal, atropine, biperiden, diphenhydramine, doxylamine, scopolamine, copper sulfate, bloodroot, lobelia tincture , and hydrogen peroxide.

Over-the-counter medicine is that which can be purchased without a prescription from a doctor. In particular, you should try non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs come in tablet, capsule, and spray form and help to relieve pain as quickly as possible. This sort of medicine works to block prostaglandins — involved in the inflammatory process, which can cause pain. When they become blocked, inflammation is reduced, relieving pain. However, keep in mind that you should never go over the dosage directions written on the bottle of the medication. The main NSAIDs are:  Ibuprofen: This is a regular NSAID — it reduces prostaglandin production and reduces muscle aches. The most common form of ibuprofen is Advil and Motrin. Naproxen: This works to reduce inflammation caused by bone and muscle strain. It is also an effective pain reliever. The most common form of naproxen is Aleve. Aspirin: (Not very affective) This works to reduce inflammation. Common forms of aspirin include Bayer and Excedrin. Children and teenagers should not be given aspirin without doctor's approval, as it can increase their risk of Reye's syndrome, a potentially fatal condition.  Acetaminophen: This drug is not an NSAID, but it helps to block pain centers in the brain and control the central nervous system. The most common form of Acetaminophen is Tylenol. If you are experiencing muscle spasms that are causing pain, use a hot pack. The heat will work to soothe the pain, calm the muscle spasms, and reduce joint stiffness. Wrap the hot pack in a towel and then gently place the hot pack on the affected spot. Leave the hot pack on for 20 to 30 minutes. Cold compresses can be used on strained muscles. Ice is generally more useful to reduce swelling and inflammation. In the case of a cold compress, you should cover the affected area for 20 minute increments over the course of 24 hours. If you don’t have a cold compress, you can make your own by wrapping an unopened bag of frozen vegetables in a cloth. If you are experiencing extreme...

Overanalyzing what happened and why can be mentally and physically draining at times.  While it is important to look critically at a situation, avoid dwelling on the what ifs of the situation.  Try to stay focused on the present and future instead.  Overanalyzing can lead to heightened anxiety about what to do.  This may cause you to freeze up and avoid handling a situation.  Pay attention to how often your mind wanders to negative thoughts about the challenges you're facing. For example, let's say you're in a competition at school, and someone else gets first place in the competition.  You may dwell on why they got first place and you didn't.  You may feel frustrated by the results, or be hard on yourself for not being better. When your thoughts appears to be dwelling on the negative, stop yourself.  Write down three good things that are currently happening in the present for you. Remind yourself that your thoughts are just thoughts. They do not represent reality, and you can learn to push through them. When you face challenges, you may be quick to blame yourself or someone else.  Be mindful of this negativity and how it may impact your ability to move on.  If you are constantly feeling resentful or guilty, focus on what you can do to make things better for yourself and others instead.  For example, let's say you are facing a roadblock at work with a project.  You feel like you don't have enough background or experience with something.  You may feel like blaming yourself for not being more prepared or having the right skill set.  Instead, focus on what you can do to make it better.  Devote your energy to the present and future, rather than wishing to change the past. Remind yourself that new projects will bring new challenges. These things are supposed to be difficult, but you can still rise to the occasion. If you are resentful of others, find ways to either work with them more effectively in the future, or spend more time with people who are positive and supportive of you. '  Being mindful means putting...

Ovulation charts are useful for combining results from your vaginal discharge and basal body temperature (BBT) that can be used to identify trends in your cycle. Although you are having irregular periods, start the tracking on the first day of your period.  The first day of your period is day one. If your menstrual cycle is irregular, then you may bleed every 21-35 days for 2-7 days, perhaps with some spotting.  Number each of the days preceding your period. When you start a new period, then that is your new day one. Figure out the number of days your cycles approximately last for a few months. Then try to see if there is an average number that emerges as time passes. Create a chart that has temperatures ranging from 97.0 to 98.0 degrees Fahrenheit in increasing increments of 0.1 degrees on the X-axis and the days of your cycle on the Y-axis.  Put a dot on the temperature that corresponds your BBT reading under the corresponding day of your cycle. This way you can see if there are fluctuations from day to day in your BBT. Connecting the dots allows you to track trends more easily from a visual perspective. There is a drop and then a dramatic spike in your BBT when you ovulate, indicating the two most fertile days of your cycle. You can find a sample chart at BabyCenter.com. Create an easy to understand key describing your vaginal discharge. For example, D can indicate the dryness that occurs after your menstrual cycle, B can stand for a period, R can stand for regular white discharge, and F can stand for stringy, clear fertile discharge.  Compare your descriptions of your discharge against observations from previous cycles and see if your discharge changes consistency within an average range of dates. This can give you a better idea of how your irregular cycle lengths may vary. With irregular periods, it can be frustrating and hard to find patterns that indicate when you are most fertile. Your ovulation chart helps you see if there are certain trends that emerge. With irregular menstrual cycles, it can be...

Начните график с первого дня цикла. Каждый день отмечайте температуру тела. Добавьте к этому графику наблюдение за выделениями из влагалища. Старайтесь регулярно записывать данные в график, чтобы как можно точнее вычислить дни овуляции. Чтобы отслеживать длину цикла, также используйте график.


Oxytocin is a hormone that helps your uterus contract. When your uterus contracts, your blood vessels will close up and keep your discharge at a normal level. If you have low levels of oxytocin, your doctor may prescribe supplements for you to take to help keep you healthy. If you develop a vaginal infection after you give birth, doctor will most commonly prescribe an antibiotic called metronidazole. The common dosage is 200 mg taken three times a day for five to seven days. You should also talk to your doctor about discontinuing other antibiotics and over-the-counter medications. This is because these medications can interfere with the normal microbes found in your body. When the balance of microbes in your body is changed, you risk the chance of developing an infection. Hypovolemic shock occurs when you lose a massive amount of blood (about one-fifth of your total blood). If you experience this, or your partner is experiencing this, you should get to the hospital immediately. Symptoms of hypovolemic shock include:  The menstrual pad saturated in 15 minutes. Fainting or lightheadedness. Anxiety. Skin turns to ashen or grayish. Skin is cool and clammy. The pulse has Increased rapidly. Rapid breathing. A postpartum hemorrhage occurs when tissue is left behind in your uterus after you have delivered your child. This can cause heavy bleeding starting in the first 24 hours to 3 weeks after delivery. If you have this, you will most likely have a surgical procedure done that is call dilatation and curettage. During this procedure, the extra tissue will be removed. If every other option to contract your uterus has failed and you are losing too much blood, a hysterectomy may be considered. During this procedure, your uterus will be removed to stop the bleeding. This is only considered as the very last option.

Oyster shells are sharp, and you'll definitely cut yourself if you aren't wearing a pair of tough rubber or canvas gloves when you're shucking them. Don't forego this simple safety measure. Use the stiff-bristled brush to scrub the ocean grit from the oysters.  Rinse the scrubbed oysters in cool running water. As you handle each one, make doubly sure the oysters are alive and fresh. The curved side of the oyster should be against the palm of your hand. The point, or hinge, should be facing toward you. Point it down into the cup of the oyster. Use a twisting motion to separate the top and bottom shells. You should feel the hinge pop when you twist the knife. Work the blade as close to the top of the shell as possible, and run it from the hinge around to the other side of the oyster. Continue using a twisting motion to separate the top and bottom shells.  The shell will be very tightly closed, so be careful not to let the knife slip as you do this. Do your best not to break the shell into pieces. A few stray bits may get inside, but the shell should stay mostly intact. Don't tip the shell from side to side or turn it over, or the delicious juices inside will pour out. . When the top and bottom shells are separated, open the oyster, taking care to hold it level. Run the knife along the top shell to separate any remaining meat.  Check the oyster for shells or grit. If you wish, carefully separate the oyster meat from the bottom shell, so you or your guest won't have to do so before eating the oyster. Place it back in the bottom shell before serving. Place shucked oysters on a bed of ice, still swimming in their juices.

PID doesn't often produce any symptoms during the early stages — especially if the infection is caused by chlamydia; however, when symptoms are present they usually include: pelvic and lower abdominal pain, low back ache, heavy vaginal discharge that smells unpleasant, irregular menstrual bleeding, chronic fatigue, pain during sexual intercourse and urination, and mild fever.  In the United States, almost 1 million women develop PID each year, and one in eight sexually active girls will get PID before they turn 20 years old.  Risk factors for contracting PID include: being sexually active, multiple sexual partners, not practicing safe sex, a history of having STIs, use of intrauterine devices, young age (14 – 25 years), and frequent vaginal douching. If you have symptomatic PID with pelvic and/or lower abdominal pain, then soaking your lower body in a warm Epsom salt bath can significantly reduce spasm, pain and swelling. The high magnesium content of the Epsom salt acts to soothe and relax muscle tension and cramping related to PID. Pour warm water in a bathtub and add a few cups of Epsom salt. You should start to feel results within 15-20 minutes of soaking in the tub.  Don't make your bath water too hot or soak for longer than 30 minutes at a time, because the hot salty water can pull moisture from your skin and potentially dehydrate you. Alternatively, apply moist heat to your pelvic/abdominal muscle cramps — microwaved herbal bags work quite well, especially the ones infused with aromatherapy (such as lavender) which have muscle-relaxing effects. While some home remedies may seem easier and less expensive than going to the doctor, PID is a very serious disease and can cause irreparable damage to your reproductive organs. You should not try to treat it yourself — it is essential that you see a doctor immediately and receive treatment.   Relying on home treatments to treat PID will only prolong the infection — early treatment is important to minimize complications. You may want to discuss supplementing...

PTSD occurs after a traumatic event. A traumatic event is something that deeply impacts someone such as a brush with death, violence, or serious injury. The event can have actually happened or may have been threatened (such as being threatened by a gun or threatened with violence).  Some events may be experienced as more traumatic to some than to others. For instance, living through a natural disaster may be experienced as traumatic by one person but not by another. Someone may experience a close encounter with death or witness someone else almost die, like a friend or sister. A traumatic event can include war, natural disasters, car or plane crashes, terrorist attacks, violence such as rape, kidnapping, mugging, or assault, sudden death of a loved one, or childhood neglect. An event doesn’t have to happen to you for it to be traumatic. You may experience an event directly, or you may witness an event, such as violence in your home. You may also experience the event indirectly, such as hearing something that happened to a relative or friend.  While you may not have experienced being mugged, you may feel traumatized after hearing that your sister recently was mugged. For the trauma to be considered indirect, the outcome of the event was either violent or accidental. An accidental trauma could include learning that your sibling was burned severely by boiling water or was severely injured at work in a sort of “freak accident”. As a result of the traumatic event, the person may not approach life in the same way. Social, professional, school, or home function may change. The person may experience a decrease in functioning in more than one environment. The distress from the trauma causes significant changes to the person’s functioning. A person’s school grades may dramatically decrease, work productivity may change, or a once very clean person may suddenly be unable to take care of his or her house or personal needs. People may experience repeated or extreme exposure to aversive details of the event after it...

PVCs may occur in apparently healthy individual without any cause. Signals for rhythmic contraction of the heart originate in sinoatrial node (SA node) located in the right atrium. It is also called pacemaker of the heart. The signal then travels through specialized conducting tissue to the ventricles, causing them to contract. However, ventricular muscle cells are also excitatory and can initiate self-contraction without any signal form SA node. In normal and healthy subjects there may be occasional self-contraction causing PVCs. It is medically known as myocardial infarction. There is damage of heart muscle due to impairment of blood supply. Coronary arteries provide blood supply to heart muscles. If one or more of them are blocked by a blood clot or plaque, the area supplied by them undergoes ischemic necrosis or death.  The damaged heart muscle cannot contract properly and synchronously with the remaining area. As a result, there may be initiation of contraction signal anywhere in the ventricles that spreads to other parts causing a premature beat. The risk of PVCs is greatest in the hours following heart attack. It should be managed appropriately because it may be the early sign of life threatening arrhythmia. It may be dilated or hypertrophic type. Cardiomyopathy occurs as a consequence of long term cardiac disease.  Common causes are hypertension, heart attack, heart valve disease, alcohol, obesity, diabetes, thyroid disease, vitamin B1 deficiency etc. The heart chambers are dilated, muscle wall becomes thick or thin. The normal architecture of the heart muscle is deranged. It leads to alteration of excitatory pattern of the muscle. There may also be fibrosis in different areas of the heart. All these contribute to abnormal signal transmission and PVC. Most common is mitral valve prolapse. Mitral valve is located between left atrium and left ventricle that controls one way blood flow. The cusps or leaflets are directed towards left ventricle. Long standing heart disease of the valve particularly...

If you don't need a certain book or binder you can leave it at home or take it to school and store it in your locker. You may want to pack the book or binders in the order that you will need them for the day. Make sure you don’t forget any. If you have loose papers, like homework or notes, it’s best to store them in a binder or folder so they don’t get wrinkled or ripped. Include your planner as well so that you can make notes or adjustments to it throughout the day. Stack these items next to your books, making sure to distribute the weight evenly throughout the backpack or bag. It’s a good idea to pack pencils, erasers, pens, highlighters and sticky notes for school. You may also want a calculator, protractor, ruler, pencil sharpener, and a mini stapler. Depending on your age and classes, you could also include tape, glue, crayons, colored pencils, and marker pens. To keep these kinds of supplies organized, consider arranging them in a pencil case or another container. Depending on your schedule, you may need gym clothes in addition to a sports uniform or equipment (like soccer cleats or football pads). If they fit, you can store these items in your backpack so you don’t have to carry two bags.  You may also need a helmet if you ride a bike, skateboard, or scooter to school. Though an instrument isn’t likely to fit in your school bag, set the case near your bag so you don’t forget it! Add some snacks, and a water bottle. If you take your lunch to school, you can store it in your bag as well. It’s a good idea to put food items in a separate lunch box or bag to keep them from being spoiled. You may also want to add a few small snacks, like a granola bar or bag of cut veggies, in case you get hungry. It’s also a great idea to include a reusable water bottle to keep you hydrated...

Pads, tampons, and menstrual cups can all be used to collect period blood and keep you from getting stains on your clothes.  Most girls start off with pads, but try different products until you find something that you like.  Pads and tampons come in different sizes.  Products that say "light" or "slim"  are for a lighter flow, and products that say "heavy," "super," or "overnight" are made for a heavier blood flow.  All menstrual products come with instructions.  Read them before you use the products. It will take practice for you to feel comfortable using the products.  Take your time and don't get frustrated. Do not use scented menstrual products.  These products can irritate your skin and vagina. Avoid perfumes and sprays as well. Tampons are plugs of cotton that you insert into your vagina.  You can't feel a tampon once it is inside of you. Most women sit on the toilet, squat, or put one leg up when they insert the tampon.  Find a position that works best for you. Inserting a tampon should not be painful, but it may feel uncomfortable at first.  Wash your hands before inserting the tampon. Relax when you insert the tampon. It can be painful if you do not relax. Using a tampon with an applicator will make it easier to insert. Change your tampon every three to four hours. You should not wear a tampon for longer than eight hours as this puts you at risk for toxic shock syndrome (TSS).  It may be best to wear pads when you are sleeping. The reason for not wearing tampons at night is they absorb moisture. This makes the tampon become larger. Since you sleep for a long time usually the tampon will be larger and possibly a little more difficult to remove. The tampon will also not hold that much, so it may leak during the night. Tampons are good for swimming and sports activities. Use the string on the end of the tampon to remove it.  If the string breaks, it is ok. You can gently use your fingers to find the end of the tampon and remove it. Do not flush tampons or applicators in the toilet. If you are having...

Paella pans are wide, metal pans that can be used on the stove or on a grill. Pour in the olive oil and heat it over medium heat on a burner or an outdoor grill. Add the chopped onions first, cooking them until they become translucent.  Next add the bell peppers and sauté until they're bright and slightly soft. Lower the heat first, so the garlic won't burn, then sprinkle it over the onions and peppers. Let the mixture cook for another 2 minutes. sauté the pieces on one side for three minutes, then turn them over to sauté the other side. Cook them long enough to impart their flavor to the base, but not so long that they're entirely cooked through.  Stir the squid to keep the pieces from sticking to the bottom of the pan.     Add a little more oil to the pan if the squid starts to stick before it's finished sauteing.

Pain relief has an important role to play in the treatment of lameness. Modern painkillers (analgesics) have a dual action of reducing pain and inflammation, and belong to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory group of drugs (NSAIDS).  NSAIDs work by inhibiting the action of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX1 and COX2). It is the COX enzymes that release prostaglandins that cause inflammation and pain. By blocking COX enzymes the mediators of inflammation (prostaglandins) are reduced and so pain is reduced. The most commonly used NSAID pharmaceuticals for the relief of bone and joint problems in the horse are aspirin, flunixin, and phenylbutazone. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is effective against mild pain, swelling, and discomfort. Some aspirin products are available over the counter from pharmacies which makes them a useful first option treatment for mild lameness.  AniPrin contains powdered acetylsalicylic acid mixed with a palatable molasses flavor base, designed to be mixed into the horse's feed. The dose is 10mg/kg once daily. For a 500kg horse this equates to 5,000mg (or 5 grams) of AniPrin.  Two scoops are supplied with the product: the larger measures out 28.35grams, and the smaller 3.75grams. Thus, a typical 500kg horse requires 1.5 small scoops of AniPrin once daily on food. Never give aspirin to a horse that is taking other medications without first consulting your vet, and always provide a plentiful supply of fresh water. Commonly known as "bute" amongst horse owners, phenylbutazone reduces pain and fever. Phenylbutazone is a prescription NSAID and needs to be prescribed by your vet. It should not be used in combination with other NSAIDs, steroids, or given on an empty stomach.  Phenylbutazone interacts with some medications (such as phenytoin, sulfonamides, warfarin, barbiturates, and digoxin) so always speak to your vet before starting treatment.  A typical equine preparation is of phenylbutazone is Butazolidin. The dose for a 454kg horse is 2 to 4grams once a day with or after food. It is available...

Pain that relates to a heart attack most often feels like a pressure, or squeezing, sensation. It can range from mildly painful, or not painful at all (in what are called "silent heart attacks"), to full pain that people would rank a 10 out of 10 in intensity. The pain is often in the chest area, and may radiate down your left arm, to your jaw, or to your back. In addition to pain in your arm, jaw, neck, and back, there are other symptoms you may see during a cardiac episode, as well. These include:  Nausea Lightheadedness or dizziness Cold sweating Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing due to chest tightness If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms in conjunction with your pain, it is best to see a doctor as soon as possible to rule out the possibility of a heart attack. (911) if you are experiencing heart attack symptoms. If you are in doubt about your current condition, it is safer to call 9-1-1 or triple zero (000) or the Emergency Medical Services number for your area for quick transport to the hospital and further management. Always remember that if you have a heart attack, time is very important and not a second should be wasted because your life is at risk.  As you wait for emergency medical personnel to arrive, take 2 baby aspirins (180mg total) as these can diminish the severity of a heart attack. Aspirin works by preventing further blood clots, and it is a blood clot in one of the coronary arteries (the arteries surrounding the heart) that causes a heart attack to begin with (so aspirin helps to prevent this clot from getting worse). Do not take aspirin if you have been diagnosed with GI bleeds or allergies to aspirin. Also take nitroglycerin if you have it on you as you wait for the ambulance to get there. This can diminish chest pain and help you to cope with the symptoms until you get to the hospital (at which point the doctors can offer you additional pain medications such as morphine). DO NOT take nitroglycerin if you have had Viagra or Levitra in the past 24 hrs, or Cialis in...

Painkillers block the receptors that signal pain to the brain, preventing pain from being interpreted and felt. Therefore, these medications can be a useful tool in relieving the pain of muscle cramps following a marathon. There are two different classes of painkillers, as follows:   Simple Painkillers: These are over-the-counter drugs used to relive mild to moderate pain, such as paracetamol and acetaminophen. Doses of simple painkillers may vary according to age, but the usual recommended dose for adults is 500 mg oral tablets every 4 to 6 hours.  Stronger Painkillers: When simple painkillers do not work, stronger prescription painkillers are sometimes recommended, such as codeine or tramadol. For oral tramadol, the usual dosage for adults is 50 to 100 mg every 4 to 6 hours. For codeine, the recommended oral dose is 30 mg every 6 hours (drugs.com).   NSAIDs: NSAID stands for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. These medicines work by blocking specific body chemicals that causes the affected area to become painful and inflamed. Examples are Ibuprofen, Naproxen and Aspirin. Approximation is a massage technique used to relieve muscle cramps. It is done by pressing the muscle fibers together in the same direction for a specific time.  You can perform this massage by grasping the muscles above and below the cramps. Then push the hands together to shorten and compress the muscle until the muscle relaxes. Try to contract the muscle without pressing the opposing muscle against the cramping muscle. This forces the cramping muscle to relax, thereby relieving the cramp. Cold therapy helps to reduce blood flow in the swollen and inflamed muscle and slows down the pain signals that are transmitted to the brain. Thus, the pain felt during muscle cramps is decreased. A cold compress can be applied to the affected muscle for at least 20 minutes every 4 to 6 hours for three days. Heat therapy involves the application of heat to the affected area, which causes the muscles to relax by dilating the blood vessels and...

Painting vinyl or another metal material other than aluminum will be greatly different, so it's important to be sure of what you're about to paint.  Galvanized steel should not be painted with oil-based paint. Many paint manufacturers offer multi-purpose enamel or a direct to metal paint. Determine if the siding has been previously painted and what kind of paint has been used. If possible, bring a sample to a professional. Aluminum can be difficult to tell apart from vinyl if brand new. Check for cracks or dings in the siding. If the siding is cracked or broken, it is vinyl. Dings or bumps are an indication of aluminum.   Try tapping on the siding because aluminum sounds hollow and lightly metallic.   Use a magnet to determine if your siding is steel versus aluminum because magnet will stick to an steel siding but not aluminum. steel will also show red-brown rust. It's best to use a power washer, angling the spray in the direction rain would hit the house as washing from the bottom up can cause unnecessary damage to the siding.  If you choose to use any chemicals, complete a final rinse to remove remaining materials because residual chemicals can be damaging to your painting process.  If you've got stubborn stains, try cleaning with a biodegradable laundry detergent by mixing approximately ¼ cup (60 milliliters) detergent with 4 gallons (16 litres) of water.  Rub your hand along the siding when it is dry to check for chalking, which is common. If a powdery substance comes off, don't be alarmed because this is chalking, which is normal in paint made for aluminum substances. This powdery substance acts as a self-cleaner for the siding. Simply choose a detergent containing TSP (trisodium phosphate) to remove the chalking.  Repair any damaged siding by banging out any dents or sags or removing unsalvageable pieces altogether. Depending on how big the area is that you want to paint, you may want to use a power sander. Always start with a rough sandpaper and finish with a fine. Make sure to avoid etches and special...

Pallets can be used to make a basic vertical garden. Get a pallet and sand it down before treating with wood preservative or wood paint suitable for outdoors. Using a stable gun, cover the back, bottom and sides of the pallet with a double thickness of landscape fabric. The best way to do this is to start planting up from the bottom row and do a row at a time going up the pallet.  The soil should be very firmly pushed into the available space and the plants should be fairly tightly packed together. It's a good idea to leave the pallet flat for a few weeks. This allows the plant roots to grow, enabling them to hold the soil in place better when you eventually lift the pallet to display on the vertical. Another way to plant inside a planter is to create individual pockets of landscape fabric in each row, behind each slat of your pallet. This is a bit fiddly to achieve but the soil is less likely to run out.  Measure up lengths of landscape fabric and put your hand inside the pallet to staple the fabric to the back wall behind the top slat.     Next bring the fabric through to the front and staple to the front of the next pallet slat down, so about a half inch of fabric is visible on the front slat of the pallet.    Take 2 pallets and stand them against each other in a V-shape. They'll need to be about 1.5 feet (0.5 m) apart.  Hammer two strips of wood to hold them in place in a tent shape. Put a grow bag at the base of each pallet and plant climbing plants such as trailing cucumber, beans or pumpkin. Train these up the pallet trellis.

Palms vary in size from relatively small Windmill and Sago Palms, to giants like Royal Palms and Queen Palms which, when grown, may tower fifty feet in the air. The amount of sunlight palm trees require, as well as the amount of cold they tolerate, also depend on species. Consult a list of some common palms used in landscaping, and their sunlight requirements and cold tolerances:  Warm weather palms:   Cuban or Florida Royal Palm. Cold tolerant to 22° F (-5° C); full sun to partial shade.  Sago Palms. Cold tolerant to 20° F (-6° C); filtered sunlight to full sun.  Canary Island Date Palm. Cold tolerant to 19° F (-7° C).  Queen Palm. Cold tolerant to 18° F (-7° C); full sun.   Cold weather palms:   Mexican Fan Palm. Cold tolerant to 15° F (-9° C).  Cabbage Palms. Cold tolerant to 12° F (-11° C); full sun.  Pindo Palm. Cold tolerant to 10° F (-12° C).  Chinese Windmill Palm. Cold tolerant to 8° F (-13° C); full sun. What size palm you select will depend largely on just three things:  Budget: Small palms cost less, big palms cost more. Small palms can cost as little as $100 while big behemoths can cost thousands of dollars. Aesthetics: Do you want to watch your palm grow, or do you want it to immediately fit into your landscape? Mature trees cost much more than immature trees. Maneuverability. Starting with mature palms is expensive, sometimes so big that they need to be trucked and craned into the site. If you're trying to plant in a location where maneuvering big trees is going to be hard, you may want to opt for a smaller one. Because large palm trees are extremely heavy and you may need to use heavy equipment during the planting process, it's best to look for an area that is easily accessible. Planting on an even, low slope in the front yard will be much easier than planting on a steep grade or in the back. Check into the property plat plan. See city or county permits, maps and utility plats, and call your local utility for locating service to be sure of routing of underground utilities, if there is any...

Panic disorder affects roughly 6 million adults in the United States and is more commonly experienced by women. The attacks associated with panic disorder generally last only a few minutes, but can reoccur for hours at a time.Some of the symptoms of panic disorder include:  Sudden and repeated attacks of fear. Feeling out of control during an attack. Experiencing a fear or terror that is almost paralyzing. Fear or anxiety about when the next attack might occur. Avoiding places where previous attacks have occurred . Feeling that you are going crazy or are about to die. Physical symptoms during an attack may include a pounding or racing heart, sweating, difficulty breathing, weakness or dizziness, feeling hot or a cold chill, tingly or numb hands, chest pain, choking, or stomach pain. Experiencing general feelings of anxiety or one or two panic attacks, while frightening, does not mean you have panic disorder. The defining characteristic of the disorder is the persistent fear of having future panic attacks. If you have had four or more panic attacks and are fearful of when your next attack will occur, locate a mental health professional who specializes in panic or anxiety disorders.  People with panic disorder are more afraid of when and where their next attack will occur than they are of particular objects or events.  Remember that everyone experiences anxiety — it's a normal reaction to stress. Feeling anxious does not mean you have a disorder. Normal anxiety usually occurs because of something specific, like an upcoming presentation or a big game. For a person with an anxiety disorder, the anxiety is constant and can appear to have no source. When left untreated, panic disorder can have serious side effects. One of the most severe consequences of panic disorder is the development of phobias. If, for instance, you had an attack while riding in a elevator, you may begin have serious anxiety about elevators; you may begin to avoid them and may develop a phobia. You may give up a great apartment or job because...

Panicking can cause you to make poor decisions and affect your judgment. If you're going to get out of the woods, you need to have a clear head. Take deep breaths and focus on the tasks at hand.  Focus on one task at a time to keep from getting overwhelmed. Have hope that you're going to get out of the woods. It may be difficult for you to find adequate food and water if you're lost in the woods. Try not to sweat or use too much energy by doing things like running around and screaming for help if you're by yourself. Conserve as much energy as you can for doing things like building shelter, fire, and searching for water. Stay put in one location for a better chance at being rescued. If you have determined you are hopelessly lost, your best tactic is to stop and hunker down in a safe place rather than to try to hike out.   If you aren't safe where you are, find a safe location nearby. When lost, humans have a tendency to walk in wide circles, often coming back to the same locations time and time again. In the process, a lot of time, energy, and emotional focus is lost. If you don't know where you are, you could walk in the wrong direction and make it much more difficult for people to find you. Build a fire and add a bunch of green leaves or pine needles to create a lot of smoke. Take a large branch with green leaves on it and cover the fire for 3-4 seconds to stop the smoke from escaping. Then, remove the branch to allow the smoke cloud to escape. Repeat the process to form a line of cloudy puffs of smoke in the sky. The puffs of smoke will tell people looking for you that the fire is manmade and that you're signaling your location.

Не поддавайтесь панике. Не расходуйте слишком много энергии. Оставайтесь на месте. Дайте сигнал о своем местоположении с помощью дыма.


Pansies are generally a low-growing plant and fairly compact. However, if they are grown in the shade, they are more likely to grow tall and become a bit ‘leggy’. If your pansies are too ‘leggy’ they can look straggly and flop over, which generally doesn’t look as good, particularly if the flowers become hidden. Your pansy plant can also become leggy if they are fed too often, so try to stick to monthly fertilizing treatments.    To deal with a leggy pansy stem, consider the length you would prefer the stem to be. Once you’ve determined the length you would like, find the nearest leaf set to your desired length. Cut back to about a quarter of an inch above the leaf set. For most pansy varieties you can aim to cut the leggy parts of the plant back to about four inches of stem length (or the leaf set closest to this height).    If the whole plant is leggy, you may want to cut the whole stem back to a stem length of about four inches. Try to make the cut just above the leaf set closest to this four-inch length. When the plant grows back, it should grow back more compactly.

Parasites often feed on sugar; you need to cut off the parasite’s food supply to weaken it in your body. Try and avoid these carbohydrates for at least a week to be effective.  Simple carbohydrates are the sugars naturally or unnaturally in food. Some examples of simple carbs include brown sugar, syrup, raw sugar, corn syrup, fruit juice concentrates.  Simple carbs can also be found in non-whole-grain breads. Try and consume more complex carbohydrates; these are carbs with more dietary fiber than sugar. Foods high in complex carbs include barley, brown rice, oatmeal, and seeds. Seeds from pumpkins, flax, and papaya are natural and effective ways to weaken and remove intestinal parasites.. Studies have shown that, over a period of a week, eating raw seeds benefits patients.  Flax seeds have been categorized as a “super food” in aiding certain digestive ailments.  Certain raw seeds, like pumpkin, can even be beneficial in helping remove parasites in pets. Always talk to your vet before trying this. Garlic, another superfood, also helps weaken parasites by boosting your body’s immune response. It is recommended to take two garlic tablets three times a day at meals for ten days to see results.

Parents are often more distressed than their teenagers by bickering or minor, day-to-day arguments. They may still be troubled by a conflict that you have almost forgotten about. If your parent still seems upset about an old conflict, don’t dismiss their feelings. Instead, ask them what is still bothering them, and listen thoughtfully to their answer. Teenagers and parents often frame conflicts in different ways. Teenagers are more likely to emphasize personal choice, while their parents are more likely to focus on underlying issues of right versus wrong. For example, you might see your messy room as just one way to live, while your parent might see a certain level of dirtiness as fundamentally wrong. While it can be frustrating, try not to tell your parents that their way of seeing things is completely wrong. Instead, focus on practical issues: how often do your parents expect you to do your laundry? Will your mess bother them less if the door is shut? You are likely to be more emotional at this phase of your life. In addition, you might tend to see emotion in others, even when it’s not there. Practice reality testing: ask your parents calmly how they feel about something, or even ask them directly: “Were you angry at me when I came in just now?” Doing fun activities together can help foster a good relationship with your parents. It’s helpful for them to see you out in the world, navigating different situations with maturity and grace. For example, inviting your parents to go on a hike with you might help them to feel more open to allowing you to go on an overnight camping trip later on. Teenagers naturally seek out stronger connections with their peers than with their parents. If you let your parents get to know your friends, however, it will be easier for them to be open to letting you spend time with them later at night or in more independent ways. If you are able to talk seriously and openly about adult issues such as sex, relationships, and your future, you will have a better and more adult relationship...

TL;DR in Russian:

Parents may have a hard time forgiving because they are concerned you may make the same mistakes again. Demonstrating that you learned from your mistakes and developed ways of avoiding repeating them will help your parents to let go of the past. If you are struggling to identify more appropriate responses, ask your parents to help you. They will appreciate that you are making the effort to improve, and it's another opportunity to make them feel heard. Show them you are responsible by studying to earn good grades or getting a job. Remind them how great you are by taking on a leadership role at school or in the community. Involve yourself in activities they would be proud to tell others about and reduce their concern about how you're spending your time. Parents forgive more quickly when they can focus on your new achievements, rather than past failures. Consider volunteering to serve others in your community to really make them proud. You can find lots of volunteer opportunities online. Help them forgive you by distracting them from your past behavior and focusing on future possibilities. Set goals for 6 months, 2 years, and 5 years from now, with action plans to achieve them.  Your 6 month goals should be reasonable. Set goals for improving grades, saving money, and/or improving you physical and mental health. Your 2 and 5 year goals should be complex but attainable, a good example might be to graduate college.

Park the car in a well-ventilated area and start the engine. Let the engine warm to operating temperatures.  You must do this while the car is in a well-ventilated area since the process will usually create a lot of smoke. Vehicles with automatic transmission should be kept in park. Vehicles with manual transmissions should be put into neutral, and the parking brake should be applied throughout the process. Open the hood of the car and locate a vacuum line that distributes evenly to all cylinders of the engine.  On most vehicles, the best option will be the vacuum line from the brake booster PCV. Since different vehicles are set up in different ways, you may need to choose a different option. If in doubt, seek a professional opinion before attempting this method. Carefully disconnect one end of the selected vacuum hose. If using the brake booster hose, disconnect the hose going to the manifold. The check valve should remain on the hose going to the brake booster, and you should not allow Seafoam to pass through the check valve during this process. Carefully pour one-third to one-half of the bottle directly into the detached hose.  If necessary, position a funnel in the opening of the hose and pour the Seafoam in through that. The manufacturer recommends against the practice of drawing Seafoam into the hose using suction. While you pour the Seafoam into the vacuum hose, a second person should rev the engine up to 2000 RPM. You will probably see heavy white smoke coming out of the tailpipe. This is normal and should not be cause for alarm. As soon as you finish pouring Seafoam into the vacuum hose, turn off the engine and allow the car to sit for 10 to 30 minutes. The longer you wait, the deeper the Seafoam will sink into the engine. Regularly maintained engines may only need a 10-minute wait, but for engines with a lot of suspected buildup, a full 30-minute wait would be better. Start the vehicle again and drive aggressively for five to ten minutes, or until your tailpipe stops pumping out heavy white smoke. ...

TL;DR in Russian:

Прогрейте двигатель. Найдите вакуумную линию. Отсоедините шланг. Медленно залейте Seafoam в вакуумный шланг. Увеличьте при этом обороты двигатель. Дайте двигателю остыть. Прокатитесь, пока не рассеется дым.


Park the vehicle in a safe, secure place (like a garage or a level stretch of ground) and open the hood to access the engine compartment. Look for the distributor - often, this is a cylindrical part with thick wires coming out of it that sits near the engine. Most distributors are located above ordinary V6 and V8 engines and to one side of inline I4 and I6 engines. The distributor has a plastic cap with spark plug wires coming out of it. There will be one wire for each cylinder of the engine. There will also be one additional wire connected to the ignition coil. Replacing the distributor requires you to use a timing light to set the timing of the engine after the new distributor is installed. To do this, you'll need to use the timing specifications unique to your vehicle. Often, these are on a sticker under the hood or in the engine compartment. You may also be able to find these in your vehicle's manual or online. If you can't find the timing specifications for your vehicle, don't attempt to install a new distributor. In this case, it's much safer and easier to simply bring your vehicle to a qualified mechanic. As noted above, most distributors have a plastic cap from which the ignition wires emerge. To begin removing the distributor, remove this cap. This may or may not require basic tools - some caps have clamps that can be loosened by hand, while others may require screwdrivers or even socket wrenches to unscrew screws and/or bolts holding the cap in place. Before disconnecting each wire, mark it so that you'll be able to reconnect it in the same place in the new distributor. Electrical tape works well for this purpose - use the tape to give each wire a "tag" and, if you'd like, make notes on the tag with a marker. As when working with any sort of electrical system, you'll want to use a healthy amount of common sense. Never tamper with a vehicle's electrical wires while the vehicle is running or any electrical current is flowing through the engine compartment. To make it a little easier to install the new...

Parsley comes in two general varieties: curly leaf and flat leaf (also known as Italian parsley). Flat leaf parsley tends to have a slightly stronger flavor than that of curly-leaf parsley, but both types are relatively mild. You will also need to decide if you want to grow your parsley from seed, or if you will grow the plant from a start/potted version. Parsley works well in any garden or pot, as it doesn’t have strict growing conditions under which it thrives. Choose an area that gets at least partial sunlight, either in its own plot or between other garden plants. If you decide to pot your parsley, place it on a windowsill that gets morning sunlight, such as on an eastern-facing windowsill. Soil that is relatively loose, full of compost/nutrients, and has a pH level between 6 and 7 is perfect for parsley. Test the pH of the soil, and incorporate peat moss into it if the soil is too basic. To create the perfect soil mixture, mix 50% potting soil with 50% compost for nutrients. This will create a light and airy soil mixture that will make it easier for the small root-system of the parsley to attach itself to.

Part of becoming more comfortable around him is going out of your way to spend more quality time with him. Make plans with him in settings that feel comfortable to you, whether you hang out one-on-one or with a group. If you and your boyfriend were not already friends when you began dating, then you likely do not know much about him yet. Take time to get to know him better so that you have a better understanding of who he is as a person. Make sure that you are willing to answer any question you ask him so that he can get to know you better as well.  “What is your favorite memory from your childhood?” “What is your family like?” “What is your favorite thing about your family?” “What is your favorite genre of music?” “What do you do when you feel too stressed out?” “If money were no object, what would you do with your life? Why?” “If you could go on a vacation to anywhere in the world, where would you go? Why?” “Have you traveled much? Where have you gone?” “What is your favorite hobby?” Another contributing factor to your nervousness around him might be that you are still trying to put on a certain persona. When he asks you questions about yourself, be sure to answer honestly. Not only will this build trust, but it will also give you the opportunity to be yourself and allow him to like you for who you really are. It is never a good idea to build a relationship on secrets and lies. Think about how you would feel if you found out that he lied to you about himself. Both of you will feel more at ease when your dates are planned around something you both enjoy. Discuss with your boyfriend what types of activities you both enjoy and would have the most fun doing.   Go see a movie you both enjoy. Go to a concert for a band or artist you both like. Play a board or video game that you both love. Attend a group date with mutual friends.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проводите больше времени со своим парнем. Задавайте ему вопросы, на которые вы тоже готовы ответить. Честно отвечайте на его вопросы. Участвуйте в занятиях, связанных с вашими общими интересами.


Part of being a mentalist is about trusting your judgment. Unfortunately, most people have turned their observation skills off. General and non-overt assessment of an individual provides good background information that is normally missed.  For example, are the person's hands soft or calloused? Is his musculature toned or not? Is the person dressed to stand out or to hide? Take yourself right now -- what might someone learn about you just from looking at you? There are dozens of general assessment information items that will help you to profile the individual. Think of Sherlock Holmes -- he didn't have ESP, he just noticed things. That's all. A slight tan line on the left ring finger. A pen mark on the left hand. He would now trust that this person is either divorced or separated and right-handed. Trust those snap judgments! A mentalist's work lies in stirring memories and causing the "tells" to appear, even if the person cannot bring to mind the information. “Tells” will help you to observe what the mind knows but the memory cannot call forth. Remember that although someone may say they do not remember something, the brain records everything. As such, the information is there, but just not accessible to that person at that time. "Tells" include:  Dilation or constriction of the pupil of the eye (dilation is associated with positive emotion; constriction with negative).  Where the person gazes Rate of respiration Heart rate Relative perspiration of the body Knowing what tells to look for isn't helpful if you don't know what they mean. While each person is a bit different, tells are called as such because they're usually consistent. So get in front of a mirror and start studying your own face. Here's a few things to look for:  When you think of a positive memory, your pupils should dilate. When you think of a negative experience, they should constrict. Imagine both of these scenarios and see what happens. Think of an answer to this question: What do you like about going to the beach? Once you've come up with...

TL;DR in Russian:

Попробуйте ухватить то, на что вы не обращали внимания. Ищите физические сигналы в других. Используйте себя в качестве первого подопытного кролика. Обнаружение лжи. Задавайте наводящие вопросы. Практика – это лучший способ разработать наблюдательность.


Part of being poised is maintaining your composure in difficult or irritating situations. Instead of reacting automatically in a negative way such as storming out of the room or yelling at someone, maintain your poise by stopping and take a breath or removing yourself from the situation in an elegant way (i.e. excusing yourself to go to the restroom). If you are alone, you can try a deep breathing exercise to calm yourself down. Breathe in through your nose deeply and out through your mouth slowly. Focus on your breathing and your experience of it. Your body should begin to relax and once you feel calm you can stop the breathing exercise. Being mindful of what you are reacting to is an important component of keeping your composure. If you observe what is happening, you can begin to change how you react to the situation and be more poised.  Ask yourself, “What am I reacting to? What am I thinking and feeling about this situation? Is this something that is a pattern from my past? Am I upset about this situation or does it remind me of something else that happened and struck a chord with me?” Look at the bigger picture. Observe the situation from afar as if you were in a helicopter viewing it from the sky. What is the bigger picture? Will this situation matter in 1 month, 6 months, or a year? You may find that you react to situations that do not affect your life in the long-term. Having a plan on how to deal with difficult emotions is one surefire way to maintain your composure in difficult situations. Identify ways to cope with difficult emotions that work for you. For example, if you notice that you tend to get angry when people do not agree with you on a topic, you may develop specific coping mechanisms for dealing with this situation. This might include taking deep breaths, counting to ten, or reminding yourself that others can have different opinions and it doesn't mean that they think you are dumb or don't like you.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте паузу и дышите глубоко. Наблюдайте. Эффективный план действий.


Part of codependent relationships is familiarity and "button-pushing."That is why in some situations, it may help to say no and distance yourself from your codependent family members, at least temporarily. Finding the right way to say no will depend on the situation, but it can empower you to walk away when things get rough.  In some cases, when codependent behaviors are not spiraling or threatening your sense of self, you may use a calm response. These could include, "Sorry, I just wouldn't be comfortable doing that," or "Yes, I see that you don't have the same point of view; we are not communicating.” In situations where you feel it is important to disengage quickly, a simple “No,” or “I can’t do that,” will work. You don’t owe anyone an explanation. Your family member may develop an emotionally-charged response, but you are not obligated to meet their emotions. Violent communication is a form of communication that causes harm, often through coercive or manipulative language. You can start to remove yourself from a codependent dynamic by practicing nonviolent communication. This can help strip the violent communication of its power, and help you detach from the controls of codependency.  Nonviolent communication relies on explaining how you feel without blame or criticism and expressing your needs with empathy. For example, instead of saying, “You always try to control me! Stop!” you may say, “When I hear you telling me that, I feel like I don’t have personal autonomy. I value being able to make that kind of decision for myself. Would you be willing to let me do so?” Using "I" statements helps communicate your point without assigning blame or causing your family member to get defensive. If your family member’s codependency is dictating or dominating your life, you may not want to selectively detach. Instead, you may find it more beneficial to detach completely for a longer period of time. This could be anywhere from a day to a period of years, depending on their behavior and your needs.  In these...

Part of dealing with resentment is listening to your partner. You can’t deal with resentment and the issues that lead to the resentment if you don’t listen to each other’s problems and feelings. Though it may be hard to hear, take a step back and objectively listen to what your partner has to say. Listening to your partner, even if you feel resentment also, helps you work through the problems and reach a solution. Refusing to listen leads to more resentment, and can eventually lead to the end of the marriage. If you find that you cannot talk to your spouse or that your partner won’t listen to you, you may need to see a marriage counselor or a therapist. A professional can help mediate between you and your spouse, help you both figure out how to say what you can’t verbalize, and help you work towards a solution. Even if your partner won’t see a marriage counselor, you may consider seeing one to help you figure out how to deal with the issues in your marriage, and how to better communicate. When you discuss your resentment, you may feel inclined to place blame on your partner. This generally leads to more problems, anger, and resentment. When you talk to your spouse, use only “I” statements to bring up issues. This helps you avoid accusing your spouse of things. For example, you may say, “I feel overwhelmed and frustrated because the house is always a mess. I need help because I cannot do everything by myself.”

TL;DR in Russian:

Выслушайте своего партнера. Обратитесь за помощью к специалистам. Используйте высказывания от первого лица.


Part of having a solid perspective is to learn to forgive small imperfections. No one can be the perfect mother all the time. Accept that some things will not turn out exactly as imagined.  Sometimes, chores fall to the wayside. You might not get laundry, dishes, and vacuuming done on the exact schedule you desire. Try to let it go. You can always wash dinner dishes in the morning or put in a load of laundry at night.  You might not make it to every event. You might end up missing a family dinner night now and then or skipping out on a meeting for church or PTA. Try not to stress and remind yourself you're doing the best you can. Oftentimes, motherhood is stressful because of skewed priorities. Mothers sometimes get caught up in small matters rather than focusing on what's really important.  Finances can be a stressful part of parenting, but try to remember time over money is what matters. You may not be able to afford the same toys a child across the street has, but what really matters is quality one-on-one time with your kids. Think about how you spend money. Many parents invest in their kids by spending extra money on expensive sports equipment, art supplies, or other things to fuel a child's passions. While it's important to encourage your kids to explore their interests, remember again that time is what matters most of all. Instead of buying a new, better piano for your daughter to practice on, consider paying someone to help out with cleaning. Use the time you would spend on dishes and laundry listening to your daughter play. While it can be hard to feel grateful when you're stressed, striving for gratitude can help put things in perspective. Try to be thankful for your family and your children, even when things are hard. This can reduce your stressful level and make for a more harmonious home. Many mothers see asking for help as a sign of defeat. Understand this is not the case. It's okay to ask the sitter to stay extra hours or ask your parents if they can take the kids for the afternoon. Being a mom...

TL;DR in Russian:

Позволяйте себе совершать ошибки. Пересмотрите приоритеты. Будьте благодарным человеком. Обратитесь за помощью.


Part of keeping your baby goat happy and healthy will involve giving them a proper space to live in.  Baby goats need a space that is both warm and dry, as either cold or dampness can have an ill effect on their health.  Make sure there is plenty of warm bedding, such as pine chips , wheat straw and hay can be used for warm bedding . Change any bedding that becomes wet. If the area is cold, consider adding a heat lamp.  Make sure the heat lamp is absolutely secure, as it is a fire hazard. Keep the lamp at least 3 ft (0.91 m) above the kids, and make sure they can go to a cooler area if they get too warm. The umbilical cord should naturally break away from both the newborn and the mother.  However, freshly broken navel cords can become infected and may need additional attention.  Never cut the cord between the mother and newborn.  Allow this to break naturally.  Only attempt trimming the cord if it is longer than four inches after it breaks. If you are unsure of what to do, make sure your veterinarian is on site during the birthing process. If the cord is still quite long, you should trim it closer to the kids stomach. Trim to about three to four inches in length. Always used sterilized instruments.  Make sure whatever instrument, such as a pair of scissors, are sharp enough to make the cut. Dip the cord in iodine, betadine, or diluted chlorhexidine. This kills bacteria and prevents infection. It also helps the cord dry much faster. The cord should fall away from the newborn within three weeks. After you help the mother trim the umbilical cord, leave her baby goat with her.  The mother will want to lick the baby clean.  Allowing the mother to clean the baby will increase the bond between them. Creating a bond between the mother and newborn is extremely important. Stay with both the mother and the newborn goat.  Help keep the birthing area clean and monitor the baby goat. A few moments after the baby goat, or goats, have come out the afterbirth will follow.  Allow the mother to eat the amount of this she will...

Part of making a graceful exit is knowing when you are not wanted. This could be for a variety of reasons. Maybe the girl's just not digging you. That's okay. Maybe she has a boyfriend and doesn't want to waste your time. Maybe she just wants to spend time with her girlfriends. Whatever the reason, once you get the sense it's time to leave, get going.  If the conversation lags completely and the girl is checking her phone or looking around constantly, it's time to leave. If her friends start rolling their eyes at you or ignoring you, it's time to leave. Once you know it's time to go, don't embarrass yourself further by saying, "Well, it looks like you're just not interested" or "Sorry to bother you." Just say, "Hey, it was great talking to you. I'll see you around later." Walk out with a smile on your face, even if you're disappointed. But if she's laughing a lot, maintaining eye contact, playing with her hair, and just generally looking like she's having a great time talking to you and wants more, it's time to step it up. If you've really clicked during the conversation, and the girl is clearly into you, then it's time to kick it up a notch and see where this thing goes. You're trying to pick up the woman, right? So what are you waiting for?  If you're at a bar or nightclub and things are wrapping up, you can say, "How about we go somewhere more private to talk?" Or, "What do you say we get out of here?" If you know the girl wants to keep hanging out but you don't want to turn her off by trying to isolate her yet, ask her if she and her friends want to go to a quieter bar down the street, or invite her out to an after party with your friends. Remember, she just met you, and even if she likes you, she may not want to get down on the first night. If you're not ready to ask her to come home with you, get her number. Don't be nervous. Just make it clear that you're really asking her out. Say, "Hey, this has been a great conversation, and I'd love to talk to you more over drinks or dinner. Can I get your number...

Part of prioritizing your marriage and working on intimacy is spending time together. Your marriage can’t be a priority if you don’t make time for it. Take a look at your daily schedule. Find a block of time each day where you can be with your spouse.  You may have to cancel something, rearrange certain responsibilities, or make certain things easier and quicker to make time for your spouse. For example, you may choose to make a quick, easy dinner so you and your spouse can have half an hour after dinner to spend talking. You may ask your spouse to pick up the kids instead of you, go to the gym in the morning, or move a stack of work to the next day. Spend at least 15 to 30 minutes together with no electronic devices. Talk to one another about your days. Hold one another. Kiss. Spend this time enjoying each other and connecting. You can’t work on increasing the intimacy in your marriage alone. It has to be a joint effort between you and your spouse. When you are figuring out how and when to spend time together, make sure you plan together. Don’t plan it and tell your spouse. Instead, work together. This can also start to increase intimacy.  Sit down together with your weekly calendars. Think of times you can squeeze in 15 or 20 minutes to be together. If evenings are bad, consider mornings or lunch dates. See if close friends or family members would be willing to watch your kids now and then so that you can spend some time alone with your spouse. For example, you could ask your children's grandparents or a friend who has children around the same age. Every person needs different things to feel an intimate connection. Some people are more physical, while others are more emotional. You and your spouse should discuss what you need from each other to feel more intimate.  For example, you may say, “I need to be touched more, like hand holding, hugs, or your arm around me” or “I need you to be more affectionate. I’d like it if you smiled at me, complimented me, or acted happier to be around me.” Meeting your spouse...

TL;DR in Russian:

Каждый день выделяйте время друг для друга. Стройте совместные планы. Удовлетворяйте потребности друг друга.


Part of the reason feet get sore is due to swelling, so raising your feet while sitting down will help to negate gravity and allow blood and lymph fluid to exit the lower legs and return into circulation. Taking your socks/nylons off will also help to cool your feet down, thus soothing them even further.  Raising your feet to at least the level of your heart is good for promoting circulation. Use pillows to elevate your feet while laying on the sofa, but don't hamper blood flow by crossing your ankles. Ill-fitting, poorly ventilated and/or excessively heavy shoes also contribute to tired and sore feet. As such, wear stable, lightweight footwear that suits your job, sport, or activity. Aim for no more than a 1/2 inch heel. High heels crowd the toes and promote foot pathology such as bunions. If you're a serious runner, replace your shoes every 350 – 500 miles or three months, whichever comes first.  Remember to always tie your shoes tightly, because loose shoes or flip-flops put more strain on your foot and lower leg muscles. Get fitted for your shoes by a shoe salesperson late in the day, because that's when your feet are at their largest, usually due to swelling and slight compression of your arches. If you have flat feet and spend lots of time standing or walking then consider a pair of orthotics. Orthotics are customized shoe inserts that support the arch of your foot and promote better biomechanics while standing, walking, and running. Orthotics will also help reduce the risk of problems developing in other joints such as the ankle, knee, and hips.  Health professionals that make custom orthotics include podiatrists and some osteopaths and chiropractors. Some health insurance plans cover the cost of customized orthotics, but if yours doesn't, then consider a pair of off-the-shelf orthopedic shoe insoles — they're considerably less expensive and may provide quick relief. Weight loss helps prevent a variety of foot problems as there's less pressure put on the bones and muscles of the feet and lower legs....

Приподнимайте ноги во время отдыха. Смените обувь. Используйте ортопедические вставки. Попробуйте немного похудеть, особенно если вы тучны. Принимайте НПВП, доступные без рецепта. Принимайте ванны с солью Эпсома. Используйте небольшой деревянный ролик.


Passive communicators tend to hide or qualify their needs. Assertive communicators decide on what they want and then directly ask for it or state it. Next time you have the opportunity, try to give at least one direct statement to communicate your thoughts or express your needs.  You should still be respectful of other people’s needs and schedules, but you shouldn’t avoid making your own needs or concerns known just to accommodate someone else. For example, instead of saying, “I would like to speak with you for a few minutes if it isn’t too much trouble,” tell someone, “We need to talk about a plan for our assignment today. What time works for you?” Establishing Boundaries goes hand in hand with expressing needs. Try to clearly communicate your boundaries to others. For example, if someone at work keeps bothering you and interferes with your ability to complete tasks, say “I have a hard time focusing on the tasks I need to complete when I am interrupted. Perhaps you and I could meet before lunch to discuss everything you want to tell me.”  If your value system and priorities are not straight in your mind, it may be difficult to articulate them to others. Make sure you figure out exactly what you want, need, or think before you express it to others. Being assertive means that you value your own needs. It does not mean being aggressive. Use “I” statements to express what you want or need in a situation. Try to avoid “you” statements, since these tend to cast blame and show anger.  For example, instead of saying, “You always make it difficult for me to do my job,” try saying, “I need better resources to do my job properly and efficiently.” Think about what you want and need, and try to focus on that. Don’t spend time blaming someone else. Blame comes off as more aggressive than assertive. Pay attention to your speech habits and patterns and try to adjust them if they aren’t assertive. Avoid using casual, unprofessional words, such as “yup,” “literally,” or “like.” You may find that you talk too fast or speak...

Passive sources income are investments that create income with little involvement and time from you. This could be royalties from publishing a book, a song, or a piece of art, profits from a business partnership where you are a silent investor, or income from rental properties. Consider investing in a rental property, preferably several multifamily units rather than one single family home. Though a rental property can be a large upfront investment, the potential income generated from this investment could be substantial. Ask a friend or business partner to invest with you in a rental property and create passive income to supplement your existing income. A stock represents a stake in a company. When you own a share of a stock, you are a part owner in the company and have a claim on every asset and every penny in the company's earnings. A bond is a financial IOU from a company or the government. Companies and governments issue bonds to fund their day-to-day operations or to finance specific projects.  When you buy a bond, you are loaning your money to the issuer, whether it's a company or a government body, for a certain period of time. In return, you get interest on the loan, and you get the entire loan amount paid back either on a specific date (the bond's maturity date) or a future date of the issuer's choice. For example, if a bond is valued at $1,000, and pays 7% a year, it has an interest value of $70. You can invest in stocks and bonds by buying them individually or by buying them via a mutual fund. A mutual fund is a collection of stocks, bonds, or cash equivalents, or a mix of all three.  Talk to a financial advisor about the right mix of stocks and bonds for your financial portfolio. When you are young and just starting to invest, you should put money in stocks. The long term potential growth of stocks will outweigh the risks. Over time, as you get older, you should scale back on your investment in stocks. Bonds are less volatile and they are good long term investments. Over time, as you get older,...

Pastafarians who wish to deepen their faith may eventually choose to join a sub-sect of the religion. These sects interpret the word of the FSM differently, leading to different practices and beliefs for their members. Unless a sect breaks one of the I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts, there's no "right or wrong" sect to be in—it's a matter of personal preference.   Two of the biggest sects in Pastafarianism are the Orthodox and Reformed sects. Orthodox believers tend to have more conservative, literal views of Pastafarian beliefs, while Reformed believers tend to be more open to allegorical meanings. For instance, many Reformed Pastafarians believe in Automated Creationism, which is the idea that the FSM sparked the creation of the universe with a single event (the big boil), then let natural processes eventually create life. Orthodox Pastafarians, on the other hand, believe that the FSM deliberately and literally created all things. The Church of the FSM encourages its members to promote its message so long as this does not lead to harassment or persecution of others. One of the most popular ways to do this is to distribute propaganda in the form of flyers, booklets, brochures, and so on. Official propaganda materials from the church are available here. You may also make your own propaganda materials if you wish. However, make sure your materials are consistent with Pastafarian doctrine. It wouldn't be appropriate, for instance, to pass out flyers saying "The Flying Spaghetti Monster hates people who follow other religions." This isn't true—the FSM accepts people of all faiths. Ready to stop being a follower in the Church of the FSM and start being a leader? Becoming an officially-ordained minister is easy and can be done online here. You will need to pay $25 to receive your official certificate and have your name added to the register of ministers.

Patterned, cotton fabric with a floral print works well for a boho-chic look. For an edgier look, try a colored cording and leather instead. Ball chains come in both silver and gold, so pick the one that goes the best with your color scheme. You can find ball chains in the beading section of an arts and crafts store. You can also use an old ball chain necklace instead.
