Article in English: Your pet's energy and nutrition needs are based on multiple factors including growth, activity, reproductive status and age. Pet food is geared for feeding during certain life stages of the animal. A young growing puppy will need more calories than an older pet. A pregnant or lactating dog will also need more calories than its spayed or neutered counterpart. You should think about the caloric needs of your pet, but also remember that those calories should not all come from just one type of nutrient, for instance only protein or only carbohydrates. For instance, protein ranges of 20-25% of calories is sufficient for healthy dogs, growing and otherwise.  If your pet is maintaining a healthy body condition where you can see a waist and easily feel the ribs with the flat of your hand, those are signs that your pet is in good shape. If your pet is heavier than they should be, cut back the calories by 10-25% for a month and then re-evaluate. If your pet seems too thin, then increase the calories by 10-25% and see what happens. Level off the amount fed once the desired body condition has been achieved. If you feed too many calories to your dog, it will store the excess calories on its body, whether it is calories from fat, protein, or carbohydrates. Dogs can develop pancreatitis with high levels of fat (and sometimes protein) in the diet. Fat is a form of concentrated energy. A lower fat dry dog food will have 6-8% fat, while a higher fat diet can be as high as 18% fat. See what advice they can provide based on your pet's current health. If your dog has a particular health problem that is affected by diet (diabetes, kidney disease, pancreatitis, food allergy, etc.), your veterinarian will discuss options with you and develop a plan for your pet.  Consult your veterinarian if you have concerns about chronic diarrhea or skin conditions that may be related to food allergies. Diarrhea in dogs may have multiple causes (internal parasites, bacterial infection), but food is certainly a big possibility. Occasional loose...

Article in English: Your photos are the most important part of your profile because people won't swipe right if they don't like your photos. At a minimum, include at least 3-5 photos that show you in a positive light. Choose photos that are well lit and not blurry.  For instance, you might include 2 headshots, 2 pictures of you doing activities you enjoy, and 1 photo of you with your pet or a group. Additionally, make sure at least 1 photo shows you dressed up and at least 1 photo shows a casual look. Make sure you’re in every photo. You only have 5 photos to make a good impression, so don’t waste them on pictures of your dog, a sunset, or your favorite food. Do not include mirror selfies and gym pictures, especially if you’re a guy. These are a big turn-off! Pick a photo that clearly shows your face so that people know what you really look like. If possible, choose a headshot that also conveys something about you, like your sense of style or a hobby you enjoy. Additionally, pick a photo where you're wearing a red top because it will signal people to stop on your profile. However, try to avoid using a selfie if you want to get more matches.  Try to use a professional photo for your profile pic. If you don't have professional photos, a good first photo might be a picture your friend took of you standing next to your artwork or a photo your mom took of you posing at the top of a summit. If you have a pet, you might use a photo of you holding your pet. If you need to use a selfie, take it from farther away and don’t use unnatural angles to make your face look different. While it's unfair to you, people can interpret selfies as a sign that you're hiding something about your looks. Unfortunately, guys can perceive a girl who wears heavy makeup and appears to dress up often as high maintenance. In fact, most guys say they like a natural makeup look. To get more guys to swipe right, choose photos that are more “girl next door” than “it girl.” Choose more day looks than night looks. For instance, skip the club pic and show off your...

Article in English: Your physician can prescribe preventive medication to reduce the number and severity of your migraines. There are several different preventative medications that your physician may suggest. Preventive medications are meant to be taken daily and can include:  Beta blockers, which are also used to treat heart disease.  Although the reason they work is not clear, doctors believe it may be that they keep blood vessels from constricting and dilating in the brain. Beta blockers include atenolol (Tenormin), metoprolol (Lopressor), propranolol (Inderal). Calcium channel blockers are another type of heart medication that have been found to reduce the number and duration of migraine headaches. These medications include verapamil (Calan) or diltiazem (Cardizem). Tricyclic antidepressants help prevent other kinds of headaches as well as migraines. Medications include amitriptyline(Elavil), nortriptyline (Pamelor), doxepin (Sinequan), imipramine (Tofranil). Some anticonvulsant medications will also prevent migraine headaches, although physicians are not sure why. Some anticonvulsants that have been effective include divalproex sodium (Depakote), gabapentin (Neurontin), topiramate (Topamax). Botox injections have been approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) to treat migraines. The medication helps some people and is injected in a series in the forehead, temples, back of the neck and shoulders about every three months. Acute or abortive medications are designed to stop the headache you currently have. Acute or abortive medications are given when the symptoms first appear. Different medications are used to treat either the pain or the associated symptoms.  Triptans are some of the first medications prescribed to relieve pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light, sounds, and smells. Triptan medications include: almotriptan (Axert), eletriptan (Relpax), frovatriptan (Frova), naratriptan (Amerge), rizatriptan (Maxalt), sumatriptan (Imitrex), zolmitriptan (Zomig). Ergots work by constricting the blood vessels but have...

Article in English: Your poor toy may be covered with gross lint from over-playing with it. When you vacuum your stuffed animal, it removes the dust and dirt. It's like an air shower!  If the animal is way too dirty for vacuuming, give your toy a bath by putting it in the washing machine, or you can hand wash it yourself. Just be sure to read the washing instructions for your toy. Nobody wants a naked toy! The best store to buy clothes will be toy stores or places that let you make a bear/stuffed toy. If they have a cut or tear, stitch them up. If you don't know how, ask around your family and friends. It's kind of like going to the doctor's for stuffed animals.

Article in English: Your posture while cycling is also crucial if you want to avoid back pain. Try to keep your back straight while cycling — not completely erect like sitting in a chair — but rather flat, stable and well supported by squared shoulders. Distribute some of your weight to your arms and hands while keeping your chest and head up. Shift positions and change the angle of your upper body periodically in order to prevent muscle fatigue.  Gently lifting and lowering your head from time to time is helpful for keeping your neck loose and avoiding muscle strains. Approximately 45% of overuse injuries to professional road cyclists involve the low back. When riding your bike, keep your arms slightly bent (10 degrees) while gripping the handlebars. This posture will allow the joints and muscles of your upper body to absorb some of the vibrations and impact instead of your spine, particularly if you tend to ride on rough terrain such as forest or mountain paths.  Grip the handlebar with your whole hand, but not too tightly. Wear padded cycling gloves to help with shock absorption. If your back tends to act up while cycling, break your ride into segments and take more rest stops. When peddling, it's more efficient and best for your hips and low back to have your knee bend at a 90 degree angle at the top of the peddle stroke (when it's farthest from the ground). At 90 degrees, your thigh should be roughly parallel to the saddle, which then allows for a strong push down on the pedal. At the bottom of the stroke (when the peddle is closest to the ground), your knee should be flexed at about 15-20 degrees, which is unlikely to strain the low back muscles, tendons and/or ligaments.  If your legs do not match these angles while you pedal, then adjust the height of your saddle. The front 1/3 of your foot should be in contact with the pedals while peddling.

Article in English: Your pot should be anywhere from 6.5–18 inches (17–46 cm) deep. It's important that the pot you get has drainage holes in it. Larger pots will be able to hold more tulip bulbs, which will create a fuller pot of flowers. You can purchase plastic, ceramic, or terracotta pots to plant tulips.  A 8.5 inch (22 cm) pot can hold anywhere from 2-9 tulip bulbs. A pot that is 22 inches (56 cm) in diameter will be able to hold approximately 25 medium-sized tulip bulbs. Drainage holes are important so that water doesn’t pool on the bottom of the pot and rot the bulbs. Purchase a porous, fast-draining soil from a home and gardening store or online. Perlite and vermiculite potting mixtures are great mediums for tulips. Work outside and carefully pour the bag of potting mix into the pot. Potting soil is often better than the soil you can get in your yard or garden because it will retain moisture better, it’s filled with nutrients that promote growth, and it will have better drainage. Place the bulbs up against the inside edge of the pot first, then move your way towards the center of the pot. Push the flat side of the bulbs deep enough into the soil to hold them in place.  The pointed end of the bulb should be facing up. Planting more bulbs will result in more flowers, but it will increase the competition for nutrients and water. If you’re crowding the bulbs, be sure to water and apply fertilizer regularly. Use the same potting soil that you used before to completely cover the bulbs. If you are putting the pots in an area that may be open to animals like squirrels, you can attach a wire grid over the top of the pots to prevent them from eating the bulbs before the tulips bloom. If you want your tulips to be different heights, or just want more tulips in your pots, you can layer bulbs on top of each other. To do this, simply cover the top layer of bulbs with 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) of soil, then plant another layer of bulbs above the first layer before covering them with potting soil. When the bulbs bloom, they will fill up...

Article in English: Your potential photographers will bring along a portfolio of their pictures to the interview. It’s important that you spend plenty of time looking through this in detail with your partner. Ask the photographer to give some context for the pictures, including asking about the style used, and the type of wedding it was.  The portfolio is a crucial document that gives you the best idea of what sort of style you photos will be getting. The pictures will have been carefully chosen to represent what the photographer considers her best work. Ask yourself if the pictures in the portfolio move you, or you think they capture the magic of the wedding.  Be sure to ask if the production values on the pictures in the portfolio are the same as in the deal you are discussing. Spend some time looking back through the notes you made during the interview to help you decide. These notes are a record of the interview that can give you a good idea of the impression you got from the photographer. You can compare the scores across the different shortlisted candidates with your partner, and evaluate their relative strengths and weaknesses. Price will no doubt be a factor in your decision, but try to think carefully about the value of these photos to you. It will be hard to value them quantitatively, as they are a record of the biggest day of your life, which you will always look back on. You will want a photographer that will capture the emotion of the day, as well as all the key moments.  Some people recommend putting aside at least ten per cent of your wedding budget for the photos.  Don’t rush the decision, and try to weigh up all of the different factors, including cost. You will use the interview in part to determine the technical skills and style of the photographer, but it is also an invaluable opportunity to assess her soft skills. Think about how personable the photographer is. If you take a disliking to her for whatever reason, this could create a negative dynamic or atmosphere on your big day. Keep in mind some basic...

Article in English: Your power supply transformer determines how large you can make your Tesla coil. Most Tesla coils operate with a transformer that puts out a voltage between 5,000 to 15,000 volts at a current between 30 and 100 milliamperes. You can obtain a transformer from a college surplus store or from the Internet, or cannibalize the transformer from a neon sign. The best way to create this capacitor is to wire a number of small capacitors in series so that each capacitor handles an equal share of the total voltage of the primary circuit. (This requires that each individual capacitor have the same capacitance as the other capacitors in the series.) This kind of capacitor is called a multi-mini-capacitor or MMC.  Small capacitors, and their associated bleed resistors, can be obtained from electronics supply stores, or you can scrounge for ceramic capacitors from old television sets. You can also make the capacitors out of sheets of polyethylene and aluminum foil. To maximize the power output, the primary capacitor should be able to reach its full capacitance each half-cycle of the frequency of the power being supplied to it. (For a 60 Hz power supply, this means 120 times each second.) If you're planning on a single spark gap, you'll need metal bolts at least a quarter-inch (6 millimeters) thick to serve as the spark gap to withstand the heat generated by the discharge of electricity between the sparks. You can also wire multiple spark gaps in series, use a rotary spark gap or blow compressed air between the sparks to moderate the temperature. (An old vacuum cleaner can be used to blow the air.) The coil itself will be made of wire, but you'll need something to wrap the wire around in a spiral shape. The wire should be enameled copper wire, which you can obtain from an electrical supply store or by cannibalizing the outlet cord from a discarded appliance. The object you wrap the wire around can be either cylindrical, such as a cardboard or plastic tube, or conical, such as an old lampshade. The length of the cord...

Article in English: Your praying mantis is delicate no matter how strong it appears. Don't try to grab it, as you can hurt it. Instead, let it crawl out on your hand or encourage it into another container while you clean its main one. It also helps to feed your mantis before handling it, as it will be less likely to perceive your hand as prey.  Be patient! The mantis will typically crawl out on your hand or finger eventually if you hold it in front of it. Usually, they will just sit there on your finger or hand. You can even take it out when you're not cleaning the cage. Praying mantises have wings once they're adults, meaning that they can fly. If you want to hold it, close all the windows and doors before removing it from its home. Don't touch your mantis if it's molting. You could hurt it! Dump the substrate out into the trash and rinse out any debris. Then, scrub the cage down using hot water. If you have a glass cage, you can set the glass in the sink and pour boiling water in it to disinfect it, but make sure to wait until it cools down before you handle it!  It's best not to use any detergent, but if the cage is very dirty, you can add a drop or 2 of dish soap. Make sure to rinse it thoroughly. Once done, dry the cage and put in new substrate. If you notice lots of feces or even mold growing in the substrate, you can just replace it. However, you can also put in tiny bugs called springtails. These critters will take care of the feces and mold, effectively cleaning out the cage. You can find these online or in reptile stores. for at least 20 seconds when you're done. Scrub your hands with warm water and soap, making sure you get in between your fingers. Then, rinse your hands thoroughly. Like most critters, praying mantises can transfer bacteria to you.

Article in English: Your preference for each model may depend on the set up of your bathroom, and your preferred aesthetic or design.  One-piece models are designed so the tank and the bowl are integrated into a compact unit, making them easy to clean and ideal for smaller bathrooms where you need to save space. However, these models can be more expensive than the standard two-piece model. Two-piece toilet models are the more traditional design of a separate bowl and tank. They are more affordable than one-piece models, and are cheaper to install. However, they take up more space and are more difficult to clean. Most toilet seats are available in two shapes: elongated and round. Elongated seats are more comfortable, as their shape adds room and comfort, especially for adult. Round seats are about 2 inches (5.1 cm) shorter, which may work better in cramped bathrooms or with smaller individuals and young children. Small children will be comfortable with the standard height of 14–15 inches (35.6–38.1 cm). The Comfort Height toilet models are 17 to 19 inches (43.2 to 48.3 cm) off the floor and 2 to 4 inches (5.1 to 10.2 cm) taller than regular-height toilets. Comfort Height toilets meet the standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), making them ideal for seniors and those with a disability. This is the distance between the outlet pipe for the toilet and the wall behind the toilet. Toilet models are available in various sizes to fit different rough-ins, so choosing the right size is crucial.  To determine the size of your toilet rough-in, measure from the wall behind the toilet to the bolt caps of your current toilet. Do not include baseboards in your measurements.  Most toilets are available in a 12-inch rough-in, which is the standard distance, but a 10- or 14-inch rough-in may be needed in some homes. For example, a toilet with an antimicrobial glaze finish will inhibit the growth of bacteria inside the bowl. And if you can't stand the clanking sound when a standard toilet seat is put down, a self-closing toilet seat...

Article in English: Your printer or copier will have a specific stapler cartridge that will need to be replaced, rather than replacing staples in individual rows. Usually these cartridges include thousands of staples.  The refill cartridge should be matched to the particular model of printer or copier you use. While the staples may be of similar size to each other, the cartridges are designed uniquely for your office equipment. The printer staples will be found within the finishing unit of your printer or copier. You will usually be able to release the stapler cartridge by lowering it from its location within the finisher.  Look for any necessary tabs that you may need to press to release the cartridge. Refer to your product manual for more details on how to locate the finisher. You may not need to replace your entire cartridge. If your stapler cartridge is jammed, you’ll only need to remove the upper layer of staples. You’ll be able to do this by lowering the guide, while holding onto the knob on the cartridge.  Slide the upper layer of staples out of the cartridge. Holding onto the knob, raise the guide again and return it to its original position. If you need to replace your staple cartridge, the steps will be similar to the above. Lower the guide, while holding onto the knob of the cartridge.  You can usually recycle your used staple cartridge at an office supply store. Finish by holding onto the knob, raising the guide and sliding  the fresh staple cartridge into position.

Article in English: Your priority when pregnant is caring for yourself and your unborn baby. You may want to celebrate the holidays to the fullest, but may not always feel your best. Developing a general plan on how to tackle the holidays that you can change if need be may give you some comfort and help you more easily navigate the holiday season.  Write out a tentative plan based on invitations and things you’d like to do. Make sure to include meals and periods of rest. Remember that doing what makes you feel best lets you focus on your wellbeing, even if it means disappointing someone. Pregnancy is a great time to allow yourself to focus on what you need. This is especially true if it’s your first baby. After you deliver, children often become the focus of the holidays. Allow yourself to do what you want, be it going to parties, staying in to cuddle, or enjoying a massage. Explain to others why you decide to take or decline offers during the holiday season. Most people understand that you may need time to yourself when you’re pregnant. For example, “Hi Diane, thanks so much for your invitation to join you on New Year’s Eve. I think I’m going to stay at home. I’ve been really tired and with my due date getting closer, I’d like to just have a quiet evening at home.” The holidays are a time when many people indulge on rich foods, meals, and drinks. Being pregnant makes your appetite bigger and you may be tempted to treat yourself a bit more. Stress can also cause you to eat more. Maintaining a healthy diet with a few treats can keep you and your baby healthy. Eat everything in moderation. Make sure you are getting plenty of vital nutrients at each meal and then allow yourself to have a small treat, such as a cookie or piece of pie. Many people run themselves ragged during the holidays. Take your pregnancy as an opportunity to ask for help when you need it. This can help you not only navigate the holiday season, but also truly enjoy it.  Reach out whenever it’s necessary. For example, “Sander, can you please clear the table? I’m a...

Article in English: Your problem with saying "yes" to everyone may have already left you trapped with almost no time to yourself. You may have said "yes" to helping your friend run her bake sale, "yes" to helping your boss manage a new project and "yes" to helping your significant other paint his apartment. You can avoid this situation in the future by beginning to say "no."  Whether you can't do everything because you've said "yes" to so many people, or because of all of the commitments of your busy life, tell yourself that it's impossible for you to say "yes" when you don't feel right about it. One of the big reasons that people can't say no without feeling guilty is because they feel that they're being selfish for turning down people who need their help, therefore making more time for themselves. But if you're selfish, then you're always looking out for yourself only and would never feel guilty about saying "no" to someone.  Tell yourself that you're not being selfish, and that if that person thinks you're selfish for not doing something unreasonable, then that's not a person you should want to associate with. Think of all of the times that you have said "yes" to people in the past -- what's selfish about that? Acknowledge that it's impossible to please every person in your life and that you have to draw the line somewhere. You may feel that you will disappoint a person if you say "no," and will thus lose his respect, but you may find that the opposite is true. If someone thinks you'll say "yes" to everything, then he will actually be more likely to take advantage of you and to ask you to do too many favors. You can please the people you really care about some of the time, but it's not possible to please every person every time -- and maintain your sanity. You don't have to look at saying "no" as a negative thing. If you're saying "no" to doing more work, you're saying "yes" to a variety of things that will benefit your life. If you think of all of the things that will be better off from you saying "no," you will feel less...

Article in English: Your professor or supervisor may assign you a research question or subject, or you may be able to choose your own. The subject or question should be very specific and focused. Consider the scope and the limitations of the investigation. For example, the question could be, “What factors contribute to landslides?” or “What is a volcanic eruption?” Alternatively, you could investigate whether the mean population density of land-locked states is lower than the mean population density of the world. Do you simply need to compare data or will you need to work in the field? Figure out how to collect the data you’ll need and make arrangements to do so. For instance, you may need to study the ecology of several locations that are prone to landslides. You should collect at least 2 kinds of information: primary (talking to researchers or interviews with eyewitnesses) and secondary (statistics, reports, and other published material). Always choose reliable sources for information. When investigating volcanoes, collect eyewitness statements to serve as primary information sources. A secondary source could be a report on volcanic lava composition. Depending on your research, you may need to graph data or analyze statistics or observational notes. Evaluate what the data means in terms of your research question or subject. Is your question answered completely or your subject fully explored? Look for relationships, patterns, and trends between the issues and ideas you explored. For instance, your research may show that the mean population density for landlocked states is greater than the mean world population density.

Article in English: Your profile doesn’t need to specify where you went to school or where you grew up. Save the basics for when you start messaging. Instead, choose details that will set you apart from everyone else and provide a good description of who you are as a person. For example, everyone likes tacos, so don’t put that in your profile. However, you might write, “I’ve created 10+ taco recipes, and I’m always looking for new suggestions.” If you start to write your bio and completely blank, you aren’t alone. To help yourself get started, choose 10 adjectives you’re proud to embody. Think about what you like most about yourself, how you spend your time, and what people compliment you on. Then, turn those things into adjectives.  As an example, you might write, “I’m persistent, creative, intelligent, open-minded, helpful, caring, witty, honest, bubbly, and talkative.” You don’t need to include every adjective in your bio. Just pick the ones that you think will be most appealing and that you feel describe you the best. Now turn the best 1-3 adjectives into a short description of yourself. To do this, pick the adjectives that you think are most relevant for your dating profile. Then, write out the ways you show that trait. Revise what you’ve written until you have 2-3 short, engaging sentences.  For instance, let’s say that creative and witty are your favorite qualities. You might write down, “I do improv comedy sketches, I produce a zine, my apartment is a hodgepodge of art I’ve collected, and I draw to relax myself.” Your 2-3 sentences might read, “When I’m not working on my zine, I’m at local coffee shops doing comedy sketches. After my performances, I check out the work posted by local artists to see if there’s anything I can add to my collection. If I’m spending the night at home, I’m probably doodling in my sketchbook because it helps me relax.” You probably feel like you’re a work in progress, which is totally normal! However, most people aren’t looking for a project, and they expect for you to be able to care for...

Customizing your URL allows you to reference your LinkedIn page easily in your resume or on business cards and other documents. It should remain simple, with the best kind of URL including just your first and last name with no spaces or special characters. For example, www.linkedin.com/in/firstlastname. Writing a LinkedIn summary is much like writing a professional biography. It should be brief, yet comprehensive enough to give the reader an overview of your career thus far. Also, it...

Article in English: Your project will have some text on it to represent your ideas. On your sketch, identify where the text will go. Use your research to write your text, though put it in your own words. In addition, make sure you are citing your sources, which means you are saying where you got the information.  Your teacher should tell you how should cite your sources or what guidelines you should be using. If you don't know how to write according to those guidelines, try an online resource such as Purdue's Online Writing Lab. It covers the basics of the major citation styles. If you're doing an artistic project, begin painting or drawing the pieces. If you're using something such as papier-mâché, start building your sculpture. If you're designing it on the computer, start making your art or gathering images to use. Write or type out your text. Put the finishing touches on the visual parts. Glue or tape the project together as needed, so it makes one cohesive whole. Use what you sketched earlier to pull your project together into your final draft.  Before you turn it in, make sure you covered everything your teacher asked you to. If you skipped something, see if you can add it in, even if it's last minute.

Article in English: Your proposal should be readable and present a strong appearance. Unless the RFP or your instructions specify something different, you should use a clear, readable font, in a size and style that will be comfortable for the reader. Generally, Times New Roman 12 point font presents a strong, professional appearance.  You might also review sample proposals used in your industry. Search the Internet for “proposal sample” and some details about your particular business field. You may also find business proposal templates online. Using one of these templates can make your proposal look professional. If your proposal is lengthy or complicated, you should offer an overview of what follows the introduction. You could summarize the parts that follow the introduction. For example, you could write, “This business proposal has four parts. After this introduction, we offer the proposed solution, timetable, and an explanation of benefits in Part II. In Part III, we provide an itemized budget and a set of standard contract terms. Finally, in Part IV, we summarize our experience and confirm that our proposed solution is the correct course of conduct.” Unless time is critical, set your draft aside for a day or two and then review it. Look for typing errors and dropped words. Also pay close attention to your numbers and make sure they are accurate.  You also should review the RFP again, along with any relevant correspondence. Make sure your proposal contains everything that the client has requested that you address. Shorten the proposal, if necessary. Ideally, someone should be able to read your proposal in eight minutes. If it takes longer than that, then try to move as such material into an appendix.

Article in English: Your proposal should be tailored to suit your partner perfectly. Instead of trying to copy or one-up what other couples have done, ask yourself the following throughout the entire planning process: “Will they love it?” For instance, if you know your partner hates being the center of attention, definitely don’t propose on the big screen at a sporting event. On the other hand, if you know they’d get a thrill out of having 50,000 people watching them say “yes,” go for it! Keep in mind that marriage proposal traditions vary widely around the world, especially if your partner comes from a different place or background than you. Do your homework and make sure your proposal respects their traditions, as well as any requirements you may have.  For example, the engagement ring is not a universal symbol. Nor is bending down on one knee while proposing. If possible, talk to your partner’s family to get advice on the best way to propose. Even if there isn’t an expectation that you should get their blessing first, they’ll appreciate being informed of your plans to propose. If tradition is important to them, make it important for you when planning the proposal. For instance, it may be important for you to talk to their parents first, get a diamond ring, take them to a fancy restaurant, get down on one knee, and specifically ask “Will you marry me?” If you’re not sure if they expect a traditional proposal, pay attention to how they respond to proposals involving friends or even celebrities. You might even ask, “So, what did you think of that proposal?” Not everyone dreams of the “fairy tale” proposal that fits all the traditions of their culture. Use your deep knowledge of your partner’s perspectives and preferences to guide your proposal planning. Remember, you goal should be to make it the perfect proposal for them!  If they have moral or economic objections to diamond rings, for example, you might go with a more basic ring style for one or both of you, or just skip using rings at all. So long as you know it suits your...

Article in English: Your pug needs to have a pleasant and enjoyable temperament. The pug you plan to breed with yours should also be well behaved and even tempered. This will ensure their puppies will be good, strong pets. If your dog has any emotional or temperament issues, you should rethink breeding him or her. You only want to breed the best pugs you can. Before you breed your pug, you need to have him tested to determine his genetic background. This will test your dog’s bloodline to ensure there are only good qualities in his or her bloodline. If your pug is a registered as a purebred, you can obtain your dog’s bloodline from the American Kennel Club or other registering authority. You need to be sure your pug and the pug you are planning to breed with are not directly related in order to prevent any possible genetic defects caused by inbreeding. Your pug should be in fine physical shape in order to be bred. This means your pug should be free from any genetic health problems that could be passed down from him or her to the puppies. Take your pug to the veterinarian to get checked out. Common pug diseases that would deter you from breeding your pug include:  Luxating patellas, also known as 'wobbly kneecaps', which is the excess movement of the kneecap sideways that can cause the hind leg to lock in an extended position. Hip dysplasia, which is when the hips are poorly formed so they do not move smoothly in the hip joint, causing the the dog to have a weak back end and lead to early arthritis Entropion, which is an inwards turning of the eyelids where the hairs rub on the surface of the eye and cause constant irritation Hemivertebra, which is a malformation of the spine bones that causes a physical deformity of the spine Cleft palate, which is a separation of the palate of the mouth area, often corrected by surgery at a young age Before your pug is mated or bred, you need to ensure he or she is up to date on all necessary vaccinations.

Article in English: Your puggle will need someplace warm and cozy to sleep, so make sure that you provide your puggle with a comfortable bed. You may want to place this bed in your room to comfort your puggle while he is a puppy. If you do not want him to sleep in your room, then you might try to get him to sleep in the bed in his crate with the door open. You should keep your puggle inside the house whenever you are not able to supervise him outside. Puggles are designer dogs that may be an attractive target to do thieves. Your puggle will need lots of mental stimulation and toys to chew on as well. Make sure that you provide him with a variety of toys, such as puzzle toys, rope toys, and squeaky toys. Your puggle may also enjoy interactive toys such as Frisbees or tennis balls for a game of fetch. Make sure that you play with your Puggle daily to keep him entertained. Even if you only have 15 minutes to play with him in your living room, he will appreciate the attention and it will be a good bonding opportunity for you and your dog.

Article in English: Your puggle will need to have a high-quality food to keep him in good health and you will also need to choose a food that is appropriate for small breed dogs. To determine if a food is of high quality, check the ingredients. If meat (not a meat by-product) is listed as the first two ingredients, then the dog food is most likely of high quality. If not, then keep looking. You can also find dog foods that are formulated just for small dog breeds. Making your dog’s food requires careful planning to ensure that you meet all of your dog’s nutritional needs. Dogs require a specific balance of vitamins and nutrients, which is not easy to achieve. Talk to your puggle’s veterinarian first if you are considering preparing homemade food for your dog. Your puggle’s daily food requirement will depend on his weight and activity level. Your dog food package should provide a suggested feeding range, but you will need to tailor this amount to your dog’s activity needs.  For example, if the dog food package recommend ½ to one cup of food per day and your dog is very active, then you will need to give him the full cup of food each day. If he is more sedentary, then he may only require ½ cup per day. Ask your veterinarian for a recommendation if you are still not sure how much you should be feeding your puggle. Some people like to free-feed their pets, which is when you leave out a large amount of dry food and allow your pet to eat as much as he wants. This can cause your puggle to become overweight or even obese, so it is best to stick to measured portions and a regular feeding schedule instead. To determine how much to feed your puggle at each meal, you will need to divide his total daily food intake into multiple portions. For example, if your puggle is supposed to have one cup of food per day, then you might give him ½ cup in the morning and another ½ cup in the evening. If your puggle tolerates it, you can give her all of her daily food in one meal per day, but some dogs do better if fed two meals per day. If your puggle is...

Article in English: Your pug’s facial folds can hold onto food, saliva, dirt, and other debris that may be smelly and irritating. Use a cotton swab dipped in warm water to clean them out. Run the swab along the folds around your dog’s nose and eyes, being careful to not let the swab make contact with their eyes, nostrils, or mouth.  Don’t leave the folds damp, as this could cause further irritation. Dry them with a towel or a dry cotton swab.

Article in English: Your puppy may enjoy sucking on a piece of ice. This will soothe their gums. Try holding out an ice cube to them; they may take it right out of your hand. You can also drop one or two ice cubes in your puppy's water bowl to cool down the water. If you have a toy breed, you may want to feed them a bowl of crushed ice instead of giving them a whole ice cube. Purchase a finger toothbrush from your vet or pet store, and place it over your finger. Gently slide your finger into the puppy’s mouth, and gently massage their gums in a circular motion with the textured side of the toothbrush. This will reduce their irritation and prevent more chewing. A finger toothbrush is a brush that fits over your finger so that you can brush your dog’s teeth. Certain foods can reduce the puppy’s pain while rewarding them for not chewing the furniture. Do not use treats when the puppy has misbehaved. Instead, let them have one when they have done something right.  Frozen foods can provide relief and taste good. Place foods like bagels, strawberries, and bananas in the freezer before giving them to your dog.  Bully sticks are a great natural treat for puppies as well. Your puppy will spend a long time chewing one. The vet can tell you if the puppy’s adult teeth are growing in correctly. If the puppy has any puppy teeth left after six months, the vet may remove them for you to ensure that their adult teeth are aligned properly. Some breeds, like terriers, are more susceptible to teething problems than others.

Article in English: Your puppy needs to be on a schedule that you control. By regulating his feeding, sleeping, playing, and bathroom schedule, you help him fit comfortably into your life. The routine will bring him comfort, and you’ll have fewer “accidents” down the road. Most puppies should get four meals per day until they are 12 weeks old. After that, they should get 2-3 meals a day until they reach adulthood. Feed your puppy the amount recommended on the label. Many labels give only the total amount a dog should eat during the day. You’ll need to divide those amounts into portions throughout the day.  To ensure the puppy grows well, feed him in meals instead of leaving food out at all times. If he doesn't finish his food within 15 minutes, pick up and remove the rest. Very small breeds often get low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). They should be fed four smaller meals spaced out to make sure their sugar levels are healthy throughout the day. Let the puppy outside to use the bathroom after every meal, play session, and nap or night's sleep. He'll need a few weeks to adjust to the schedule, so expect accidents at first. But as the puppy grows up, he'll be able to go for longer periods between bathroom sessions.  Puppies 6-8 weeks old need to use the bathroom every hour during the day until they're housebroken.  At night, you should let them out every 2-4 hours. Puppies 8-16 weeks old should be able to hold it for about two hours during the day and four hours at night. This includes a regular bedtime that comes right after a bathroom break. Even when they're as young as eight weeks old, some puppies will sleep for a full eight hours during the night. Most, though, will need to use the bathroom at least once during the night. Do this 2-4 hours after putting your dog to bed.  It’s best to let the dog out every two hours the first night or two, just in case. Begin increasing the time between wake-ups from every two hours to every four hours over several days or weeks. This will depend on the breed and how much your puppy sleeps. —...

Article in English: Your rabbit’s diet will not vary much while she is pregnant or weaning, but it is as important as ever to provide high-quality nutrition. Check your feed label and provide a feed that is:  16 to 18 percent protein 18 to 22 percent fiber 3 percent or less in fat She should also have constant access to clean water, which you should change two to three times per day. You can supplement her diet while she is gestating and weaning the kits (babies) by giving her some alfalfa hay or cubes to provide more protein. It is uncommon for the male rabbit to harm the kits. However, he can impregnate the female again as soon as she gives birth, resulting in another pregnancy before she finishes weaning the first litter. To avoid this, you should separate the two rabbits as birthing draws closer. Ideally, you should keep the male close enough to make contact with the female through their separate enclosures. Rabbits bond very closely and still being close to the male will cut down on unnecessary stress for the female during the pregnancy and birth. Kits are born without fur and will need constant warmth initially. Providing a nest box with bedding materials will help keep the kits warm and collected in one place. This small box (cardboard is fine) should be slightly larger than the mother with about a one-inch lip to stop the kits from getting away from the box.  Put a generous handful of grass (make sure no fertilizer or pesticides are present), straw, or hay in the box as well for bedding. Put the bedding on top of a clean towel  without any loose threads that might catch on the kits.  The female might rearrange the bedding in the box or even pull out some of her fur to add to the bedding, which is usually a sign that the birth is close.  Make sure you place the nesting box on the opposite side of the cage from the mother’s litter box to help avoid any complications for the kits. You should also place the cage in a quiet, darkened space. Too much activity around the mother and her new kits will cause her undue stress.

Article in English: Your railway can be as long as you want it to be, but you'll need to know roughly how many blocks it will traverse so that you know how many rails to create. Try walking from point A of your planned railway to point B. This will help you plan out your route as well as make you aware of any obstacles in your way. There are four main items that you'll use to create your railway:   Minecart - The "train" section of your railway. This is how you will move from point A to point B.  Rails - Basic rails on which your minecart will travel.  Powered Rails - Rails activated by redstone that will speed up your minecart (or keep it moving). Powered rails that don't have redstone powering them will slow (and eventually stop) your cart.  Redstone Torches - The power source for each section of 14 powered rails. Not necessary for regular rails. To create a railway system, you'll need the following items:   Iron bars - For each 16 rails that you want to make, you'll need six iron bars. You'll also need five iron bars to make a minecart. You can make iron by smelting iron ore in a furnace.  Sticks - For each 16 rails that you want to make, you'll need one stick. You'll also need one stick per lever and redstone torch. You can craft four sticks by adding two planks (one on top of the other) to the crafting table interface.  Gold bars - Used to create powered rails. You'll need six gold bars for each stack of six powered rails that you want to make. You can make gold by smelting gold ore in a furnace.  Redstone - Mine redstone blocks with an iron pickaxe (or better).  Cobblestone - You'll need one cobblestone per lever. Face the Crafting Table and select it to open the crafting interface. Place an iron bar in the top-left, top-right, middle-left, center, and middle-right squares in the crafting table, then click or tab the minecart icon and click or tap your inventory to move it to your inventory. Place one iron bar in each of the squares in the far-left and far-right columns of the crafting interface, place one stick in the...

Article in English: Your reactions to his presence, touch, and voice are telling! If you are genuinely excited to see him, have a strong reaction to his physical presence, and could chat with him for hours on end, chances are you like him. If your feelings and reactions are indifferent, you likely just aren’t that into him.  When you run into your crush, do you get flutters of excitement in your stomach or a sinking feeling? Do you blush when he speaks to you?  Do you feel tingly and flushed when his body brushes against yours? If he calls, texts, or messages you, do you smile and answer immediately or do you ignore his attempts to contact you? When you talk to him, do you dread the end of the conversation or welcome its conclusion? The amount of time you spend with your crush is a great barometer of how you truly feel about him. If you are intentionally creating time in your schedule to see him, engineering ways to “bump” into him, or obsessing about the next time you will see him, you may be interested in him. If, however, you make very little effort to spend time with him, the relationship may not be a priority to you. When you are crushing on a guy, it is often difficult to see him flirt or talk to other people. When jealousy rears its ugly head, it is a sign that you have developed romantic feelings towards him. If you begin to feel territorial towards him—you have to know where he is, who he is with, and what he is doing at all times—you may be interested in being more than friends with him. If you aren’t upset when he flirts with others, perhaps you aren’t the jealous type or maybe you aren’t interested in being exclusive with him. When you like a guy, you often get to know the most minute, arbitrary details about him. You may know how he likes his coffee or what he gets on a sandwich. You might be aware of his favorite band or movie. Perhaps, you are aware of his odd phobia. When you learn and retain the little details about someone’s life, you are invested in getting to know that person on an intimate level.

Article in English: Your reader doesn’t need to read about every event that lead to the problem your character is dealing with. They only want to see a snapshot of your character’s life. Pick an inciting incident that gets the reader into the plot quickly. This will help you ensure your story doesn’t move too slowly. For example, starting with Esther walking to the hospital is a better place to start than when she enrolled in medical school. However, it might be even better to start when she arrives at the hospital. Dialogue breaks up your paragraphs, which helps your reader’s eyes move down the page. Additionally, dialogue lets you present what your characters are thinking in their own words without having to include a lot of internal monologue. Use dialogue throughout your story to convey your character’s thoughts. However, make sure each piece of dialogue is driving the plot. For example, this piece of dialogue shows us that Esther is frustrated: “But I’m the top student in my class,” Esther pleaded. “Why should they get to examine patients but not me?” It’s hard to do mean things to your characters, but your story will be boring if you don’t. Give your characters obstacles or hardships that keep them away from what they want. That way, you’ll have something to resolve in order for them to reach their desires. For example, Esther being denied entry to the hospital as a doctor is a horrible experience for her. Similarly, being grabbed by security would be frightening. Use the senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste to bring your reader into the story. Make your setting more dynamic by showing your reader what sounds they would hear, the smells they would notice, and the sensations they’d feel. This will make your story more engaging. For example, Esther could react to the smell of the hospital or the sound of beeping machines. Try to make your readers feel what your character is feeling. Do this by connecting what your character is going through to something universal. The emotions will draw readers into your story....

Article in English: Your reading sources are important because what you read connects you with other hipsters, informs you about cultural issues, and keeps you knowledgeable. There's a lot to be read out there, so sort the wheat from the chaff and get into the things that matter most. Things to read include:  Hipster magazines, such as Vice, Another Magazine, and Wallpaper. Foreign magazines are good too. Great books and poetry by people like Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and Norman Mailer. Any other books you think are great. Any books, period; reading books sets hipsters apart from a lot of people. Visit the political science, anthropology, and sociology sections of the bookstores and local library frequently. Blogs by other hipsters. You might also be inspired enough to write your own blog frequently. Watch independent and foreign films, as well as attending independent theater productions, such as shows by Ann Liv Young. Watch Wes Anderson, Hal Hartley and Jim Jarmusch movies. Indie music is a big part of what being a hipster is all about. Turn to the endless and ever-renewing list of independent artists in the music scene, especially in the areas of nu-rave, minimalist techno, independent rap, nerdcore, Elephant 6, garage rock, classic rock (Beatles usually), and punk rock. Also, remember, they don't have to be famous to be good. Browse amateur videos on YouTube, and you may find your style.  Hipster artists of note include Lana Del Rey, Grizzly Bear, Marina & The Diamonds, Pink Floyd, Stray Kites,The Xx, Nirvana, La Roux, M83, Neon Indian, Neon Neon, King Khan, Milky Chance, Alt J, and the Shrines. Imagine Dragons, and Bastille are great examples of non-hipster bands, because the main part of being hipster is listening to bands that no one has ever heard of. Try Days n Daze, King Krule, Mitski, ikea graveyard, Waxahatchee, Dollar Signs, spoonboy, Not Half Bad, or Pope instead.

Article in English: Your real estate investment can be active or passive. Active investment, such as trading properties or flipping houses, is more risky because property isn't particularly liquid. If you need to get rid of it, you may not be able to find a buyer. Passive investment is less risky, and may be a good place to start real estate investment. A popular option is to buy shares in a real estate investment trust (REIT). Each share represents a diverse bundle of properties, kind of like a mutual fund for real property. You can purchase shares through a broker. Forex, the international currency exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world. Currencies rise and fall in relation to each other, primarily based on the strength of each country's economy.  To successfully trade currency, you need a strong understanding of geopolitical trends and events. Be prepared to read a lot of international news every day so you can spot opportunities. It's usually smart to focus on one or two currencies so you can thoroughly research those countries' economies and keep up with the latest news. An option is a contract that gives you the right to buy or sell an asset at a certain price at a set point in the future. Since you don't have the obligation to buy or sell at that point, your potential losses are limited to the price you paid for the contract. To trade options, open a brokerage account, either online or with a traditional broker. The brokerage firm will set limits on your trading ability, based on your experience investing and the amount of money you have in your account. If you get into riskier investments, a solid hedging strategy will help protect your portfolio. The basic concept of hedging is to offset a possible loss in one security by simultaneously investing in another security that is likely to move in the opposite direction.  Most passive investors, who are simply investing for retirement or a long-term goal (such as money for their kids' college), have no use for hedging. However, if you're making...

Article in English: Your regular physician is a good first step if you suspect you have mild depression. Some illnesses, especially those related to the thyroid or other parts of the body’s hormone system, cause depressive symptoms. Other medical conditions, especially terminal or chronic conditions, may carry also a risk for depressive symptoms. In these cases, your doctor can help you understand the source of your symptoms and how to alleviate them. Engaging in psychotherapy, or “talk therapy,” can be very beneficial for treating mild depression. Depending on your specific needs, you might try to find a certain type of mental health professional, including counseling psychologists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, or licensed professional counselors. If you have mild depression, it’s likely you’d visit with a counselor first.   Counseling psychologists: Counseling psychologists focus on helping skills and helping people overcome difficult times in their lives. This type of therapy can be short- or long-term and is often problem-specific and goal-directed. Counselors ask questions and listen to what you have to say. The counselor will be an objective observer helping you to identify significant ideas and to discuss them in greater detail. This will help you work out emotional and environmental issues that may contribute to your depression.  Clinical psychologists: These psychologists are trained to administer tests to confirm a diagnosis and, therefore, tend to focus more psychopathology. Clinical psychologists are also trained to use a wide range of therapeutic techniques.  Psychiatrists: Psychiatrists may use psychotherapy and scales or tests in their practice. They are typically seen when medication is an option the patient wants to explore. In most states, only psychiatrists can prescribe medication. You may see more than one kind of therapist, depending on your needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy and behavioral psychotherapies consistently show benefits to patients.

Article in English: Your relationship as you knew it pre-cheating is gone, but if you've decided to move forward with your partner you're now entering a potentially rewarding new period of reconciliation, growth, and development.  This new phase in your relationship will bring with it new rules and expectations.  Discuss these rules and expectations openly to ensure you are on the same page. While continued communication and trust-building will be important, your fragile relationship will benefit from spending time and effort on new experiences.  Consider activities you've enjoyed in the past that you could reestablish as productive habits. Discuss your goals and interests.  Perhaps your partner has always wanted to travel.  You might consider spending some time researching trips or even pursuing language or cultural instruction to make that dream a reality.  Perhaps he or she has been thinking about running a half marathon.  If you can share this vision, commit to achieving this goal together -- or, if you aren't a runner yourself, commit to becoming your partner's top cheerleader. If sexual intimacy was part of your relationship in the past, set a goal of reestablishing sufficient trust to renew this commitment. Be mindful that while your relationship is a partnership, the wounded partner needs to set the parameters for this process.  Fulfilling intimacy requires considerable trust. Ensure you've been tested for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).  Never risk your partner's physical health -- or the emotional devastation that would result from an STD diagnosis.

Summary in Russian:

Работайте над построением «новых» отношений. Хорошо и интересно проводите время вместе, занимайтесь тем, что нравится вам обоим (и что не будет напоминать о вашей интрижке). Вместе работайте над тем, чтобы восстановить ту близость, которая связывала вас.


Article in English: Your rod cells take about 30 to 45 minutes to adapt to a change of light around you. Rod cells can only see black and white and have poor resolution but are very sensitive in night vision circumstances.  Photopigments are chemicals contained in both rod and cone cells that are light-sensitive and convert what you see into a language that your brain can understand. Rhodopsin is a photopigment found in rod cells that is critical to night vision. Your ability to adapt to darkness depends on some things that may be out of your control, such as your age, previous eye injury or damage, and any existing eye conditions. In order to see in the darkness, you need to understand what it takes to improve your utilisation of the rod cells and manipulate your eyes to more quickly adapt to a sudden change in light. If you are trying to look at a dim light, don't look directly at it. By doing this, you are utilising your rod cells instead of your cone cells which would happen if you look directly at the dim light. This trick is often used by astronomers. Rod cells don't pick up the color red, so 20–30 minutes of wearing red tinted glasses before you go into a dark area can help you to detect motion around you more quickly.  By blocking everything in the visible spectrum except red, the glasses will allow your rods to adjust to “darkness” of a sort before you head out. This is a common trick that aviators use when they don't have time to sit in perfect darkness and adjust before night-flying. Light sources will force your pupils to contract and diminish your night vision.  The pupil works like the aperture part of a camera, getting smaller or larger depending on the amount of light that is entering the eye. The more light, the smaller the pupil gets. In lower light situations, your pupil opens wide to let in as much light as possible. By looking directly into a light source, you are extending the amount of time it will take for your vision to adjust, or readjust, to the low light. If you can't avoid looking at a light source,...

Article in English: Your scalp needs to be very clean since Bantu knots leave a large portion of it exposed. If you have too much product buildup, grime, and flaky skin on your scalp, the style can become itchy and lose some of its glamour. You do not need to use any special shampoo for this task, but using a sulfate-free option will help reduce frizz. Simply use the same hair care products you always use when shampooing your hair. If your hair is prone to frizziness or flyaway strands, using a conditioner can help prevent some of this effect. You can opt for either a rinse-out conditioner or a leave-in conditioner.  A rinse-out conditioner is recommended if your hair dries out easily but is not notably prone to flyaway strands, while a leave-in conditioner is recommended if the hair gets especially dry and frizzy when you work with it. Conditioner offers a layer of protection for your hair, which can help prevent breakage as you coil, twist, and wrap it into knots. There are conflicting opinions concerning whether to work with wet, damp, or dry hair, but the general consensus is that damp hair is best for setting both knots and knot-outs.  Dry hair tends to be more difficult to set, and the knots or knot-outs may not hold well if you have straight or kinky hair that tends to lose a curl after a few hours. Dripping wet hair will not dry while knotted, however, and the knots or knot-outs may become limp as a result of being over-saturated. As a general rule of thumb, aim for towel-dry hair that is still damp to the touch but no longer wet enough to wring moisture out of.

Summary in Russian:

Вымойте волосы. Используйте кондиционер по необходимости. Частично высушите ваши волосы.


Article in English: Your scalp produces natural oils which provide your hair with a lot of moisture. When you shampoo your hair, you wash away these oils, leaving your hair dry. Instead of washing your hair every day, simply rinse your hair in the shower and shampoo only every 3-5 days. If your hair looks greasy in between washes, use a dry shampoo to soak up the oil and add texture. Select a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to help smooth your hair and reduce puffiness. Read the labels and choose products that specify they are "moisturizing" or "smoothing." Avoid using products with sulfates, which can dry out your tresses and lead to frizzy hair.  Avoid products that advertise increased hair volume, as these will exacerbate frizz. Condition your hair from the mid-lengths to ends, and leave it on your hair for at least 2 minutes before rinsing. Cold water seals the hair cuticle, which will prevent each strand from losing valuable moisture and create a sleeker, shinier look. Enjoy a warm—not hot—shower and rinse out your shampoo and conditioner with cool or cold water.

Summary in Russian:

Мойте голову как можно реже. Применяйте шампунь и кондиционер, предназначенные для сухих волос. Ополаскивайте волосы холодной или прохладной водой.


Article in English: Your school may provide a list of materials that you will need, or you may need to make your own list of the supplies that you will need. Major retailers like Target and Walmart, as well as pharmacies like Walgreens and CVS, typically run promotional sales during the weeks leading up to the school year: you can often get all of the supplies that you need in one stop.  Plan ahead. While stores usually advertise back-to-school sales, some items may be cheaper during other sales. For example, clothing may be cheaper during end-of-summer clearance sales held before the back-to-school sales. Get your list ready in advance, and look for deals throughout the summer.  Check for additional student discounts. Keep your student ID handy as some retailers offer discounts if you can show that you are a student. Ask a salesperson or look online for a list of major retailers with discounts. Get your supplies ready in advance so that you will have a chance to double check that you have everything. Make sure that your bag is large enough to carry the items that you will need daily. Use the sections of your backpack or organizational supplies to make all of your supplies easily accessible.  Make sure you have folders to collect loose papers and assignments. You might lose important information or undermine your success by turning in damaged work. Plan to have extras of the most essential items. It is easy to lose a pencil before an important test, so have several writing utensils stashed in your bag. Pack a small bag or a compartment in your backpack with items that can help in emergencies. For example, a pack of tissues can be ready in case you get a runny nose in class and a bandage can help if you get a papercut while reaching into your bag. Try to buy mini sizes so that you don't take up a lot of space in your school bag.  Some items that might help you in a pinch: a pack of gum or breath spray, lip balm, a few adhesive bandages, a packet of tissues, antibacterial gel, oil blotting sheets, a compact mirror and makeup,...

Article in English: Your screenplay has now gone through at least one draft, or several drafts. But before you can read it to others or send it out to interested studio executives, you need to check that the script is formatted properly.  Check that your script begins with a “Fade in”, a title card, and a description of setting. Confirm your script contains with lines of description of each character, especially if this is the first time that character appears in the script. Note that all character names appear in caps and all sounds appear in caps. Confirm all visual cues are in parenthesis. Check for transitions, such as “Cut to”, “Fade to”, or “Dissolve to” between scenes. Confirm there are notes at the bottom of the page that say (MORE) or (CONTINUED) if the page breaks in the middle of dialogue or a scene. Check for page numbers, top right, on each page. In the movie business, once you’ve sold the script, this read-through may occur in a round table with the actors and actresses who have signed on to play your characters. Even if you haven’t sold your script to your dream studio yet, it’s still important to have a read-through of the screenplay. Ask a few friends to play different characters in a scene. Note how the dialogue is working to propel the story forward and how the scene transitions are working. Listen to how your characters speak and ask yourself if the screenplay would work well on the big screen.

Article in English: Your self-worth isn’t based on what other people think of you or the approval of others. It comes from you and nobody else. Surround yourself with positive people and recognize when you feel low about yourself. Listen to how you talk to yourself (like calling yourself unlikeable or a failure) and stop beating yourself up for your mistakes.  Learn from your mistakes and treat yourself the way you would treat your best friend. Be kind, compassionate, and forgiving. Note if you have people pleasing tendencies. This is often a sign of low self-esteem. Neglecting your needs can be a sign of a lack of self-love. Looking after yourself and taking care of your body isn’t selfish. If you tend to neglect taking care of yourself to take care of others, carve out some time each day for your health. Eat healthy meals, exercise regularly, and do things that make your body feel good. Above all, make sure you get enough sleep each night and feel rested each day.  Aim to get 7.5-8.5 hours of sleep each night.  When you take care of yourself, you’re better able to help others. Taking good care of yourself will help you feel better and help you cope with stress. Spend time having fun with friends and family. Treat yourself with a little pampering now and then: get a massage, go to a spa, and do something that relaxes you. Do activities that you enjoy. Listen to music, journal, volunteer, or take a daily walk. The only approval you need is your own. No matter how hard you try, some people just cannot be pleased. You can’t change what people think or feel to make them like you or approve of you. It’s up to other people to make those decisions. If you’re trying to win the approval of a friend group or you want your grandmother to see what a good person you are, you may not be able to do this. Struggling with people pleasing can be difficult. If you’ve tried to change things yet it’s stayed the same or only gotten worse, it might be time to see a therapist. A therapist can help you enact new behaviors and stand up for yourself....

Article in English: Your shape should be one capable of dividing into equal groups, such as a square or circle. Draw the shapes large enough that you can divide them into smaller pieces. For example, if you are calculating 5÷34{\displaystyle 5\div {\frac {3}{4}}}, you would draw 5 circles. The denominator of a fraction tells you how many pieces a whole is divided into. Divide each whole shape into its fractional parts. For example, if you are dividing by 34{\displaystyle {\frac {3}{4}}}, the 4 in the denominator tells you to divide each whole shape into fourths. Since you are dividing the whole number by the fraction, you are looking to see how many groups of the fraction are in the whole number. So, first, you need to create your groups. It might be helpful to shade each group a different color, since some groups will have pieces in two different wholes. Leave any leftover pieces unshaded. For example, if you are dividing 5 by 34{\displaystyle {\frac {3}{4}}}, you would color 3 quarters a different color for each group. Note that many groups will contain 2 quarters in one whole, and 1 quarter in another whole. This will give you the whole number of your answer. For example, you should have created 6 groups of 34{\displaystyle {\frac {3}{4}}} among your 5 circles. Compare the number of pieces you have left over to a complete group. The fraction of a group that you have left over will indicate the fraction of your answer. Make sure you do not compare the number of pieces you have to a whole shape, as this will give you the wrong fraction. For example, after dividing the 5 shapes into groups of 34{\displaystyle {\frac {3}{4}}}, you have 2 quarters, or 24{\displaystyle {\frac {2}{4}}} left. Since a whole group is 3 pieces, and you have 2 pieces, your fraction is 23{\displaystyle {\frac {2}{3}}}. Combine your whole number of groups with your fractional number of groups to find the quotient of your original division problem. For example, 5÷34=623{\displaystyle 5\div {\frac {3}{4}}=6{\frac {2}{3}}}.

Нарисуйте фигуры, которые будут представлять целое число. Разделите каждую фигуру на число частей, равное знаменателю дроби. Закрасьте группы, представляющие дробь. Посчитайте количество групп. Найдите дробную часть смешанного числа. Запишите ответ.


Article in English: Your shooting hand should grip the butt of the cue stick in a loose, relaxed manner, with your thumb as a support and your index, middle, and ring fingers doing the gripping. Your wrist should point straight down to prevent it from moving sideways when you take your shot. Your shooting hand should generally grip the cue stick about 6 inches (15 cm) to the rear of the stick's balance point. If you're short, you may want to move your hand forward of this point; if you're tall, you may want to move it further back. This prevents the cue stick from moving sideways when you shoot. There are 3 main grips: the closed, the open, and the rail bridge. In a closed bridge, you wrap your index fingers around the cue and use your other fingers to steady your hand. This allows for more control over the stick, particularly with a forceful forward stroke. The cue will slide through and you will use your other fingers to keep the cue from moving sideways. The open bridge is better for softer shots and is preferred by players who have trouble making a closed bridge. A variation of the open bridge, is the elevated bridge, in which you raise your hand to lift the cue over an obstructing ball when striking the cue. Use the rail bridge when the cue ball is too close to the rail for you to slip your hand behind it. Lay your cue stick over the rail and keep its tip steady with your off hand. Line yourself up with the cue ball and the ball you want to hit. The foot corresponding to your shooting hand (right foot if you're right-handed, left foot if you're left-handed) should be touching this line at a 45-degree angle. Your other foot should be a comfortable distance away from it and forward of the foot matching your shooting hand. This depends on 3 things: your height, your reach, and the location of the cue ball. The further away the cue ball is from your side of the table, the longer you'll have to stretch. Most billiards games require you to keep at least 1 foot (0.3 m) on the floor when shooting. If you can't do so comfortably,...

Article in English: Your sister or brother might tease you or do annoying things. If you get in a fight, you might get into trouble with your parents. Chances are, your sibling is trying to get your attention or they are bored. If you ignore the behavior, they will probably stop and go onto a different activity. This keeps you from fighting and keeps you out of trouble with your parents. Sometimes, you might be treated unfairly by your parents, and your sibling might get better treatment. They might get to stay up later or they might get to watch a movie that you don’t get to watch. Instead of getting mad and getting into a fight, show your maturity by accepting that you don’t always get what you want and that you can handle it. This will keep you out of fights with your parents. If your sibling is really testing you or getting into your stuff too much, talk calmly with your parents. Explain to them that you’re trying to be patient with your sibling but you also need your own space and privacy. Your parents will value your maturity. Oftentimes, your sibling may be annoying you to get your attention. Find a time when you can do something together, like going for a walk or seeing a movie together.

Article in English: Your skill level and the design you want to create will determine the type of stone you need.  Stones with a flat surface, such as river rocks, work best for beginners.  Softer sedimentary rocks (such as sandstone, limestone and soapstone) are easier to drill into.  Keep your eyes open for stones when you're outside at the beach, in your garden, etc, or purchase engraving stones from your local arts and crafts store. Alternatively, you can use a point chisel and mallet or hammer to do your engraving, but an electric engraver will make the process much easier.  Look for an electric engraver or rotary tool that allows you to change out the tip. A carbide tip is appropriate for engraving softer stones like sandstone, limestone or soapstone. A diamond tip is best for engraving harder stones or glass. Engraving tips come in various shapes and widths. For a basic design, the standard carbide tip that comes with your tool will be enough. Over time, you can add to the complexity of your designs by using a cone tip to create detail lines and a cylindrical shaped tip for shading and dimension. Electric engravers or rotary tools can be found at your local hardware store, craft store or online. Sketching your design onto your stone or creating a stencil before you start engraving will save you a lot of missteps along the way.  Wax-based pencils, china markers or permanent markers can be used to draw your design directly onto the stone. You can make an easy stencil using cardboard or acetate and a craft knife. Beeswax and latex paint are optional design supplies that can be used to add color and shine to your stone. Safety goggles should be used during all of your engraving projects. Engraving throws small pieces of stone and dust into the air that can damage your eyes. Prepare a bowl of water large enough to submerge the stone. This will be used to cool and clean the stone during the engraving process.

Summary in Russian:

Найдите подходящий камень. Приобретите электрический гравер или фрезу. Восковый карандаш, маркер или трафареты. Используйте защитные очки. Приготовьте емкость с водой.


Article in English: Your skill level, the size and shape of your stone, and your intended use for the stone will all play a part in creating your design. Inspirational words, a name, flowers, leaves, the sun, or other basic shapes are great design choices for beginners.  Create your own unique design or write out a word you want to engrave. Look for stencil designs online that you can print and cut out. Create a design on your computer. Draw an image or write a word in a font you like. Size the design to fit your stone and print it onto black and white paper. Whether you're engraving an image like a flower or feather, or writing out a word, having a sketch or stencil to follow will make the process much easier and will leave you with a nicer finished project.  Practice drawing your design on a piece of paper before sketching it directly onto your stone.   Make a stencil. If you printed out a picture to use, lay a piece of tracing paper on top and go over it with a pencil. Tape the traced outline onto your cardboard or acetate and cut out the design with your craft knife. Get a feel for the engraving process using a stone similar to the one you're saving for the final project.  Use the engraving tool to create straight lines across the stone, moving in different directions. Vary the pressure you use to draw lines. Draw lines using light, feathered strokes. Go back and draw lines using more pressure. Notice the differences in the look of the lines. Draw circles or other shapes in the stone. If you're writing a word on your stone, practice making the various letters.

Article in English: Your skin and scalp have a natural pH level between 4.5 and 5.5, and your shampoo and conditioner should have a pH level that matches your body. Many homemade shampoo recipes call for products that are too alkaline (like baking soda) or too acidic (like vinegar) without balancing them out, meaning they won’t have the right pH level for your scalp. Signs that your hair care products don’t have the right pH level include:  Eczema and psoriasis on the scalp Mold or fungal infections Dry or itchy scalp Dandruff or flaking Hair loss or breakage There are many hair-related problems that people suffer from, including brittle or dull hair, oily hair, hair loss, dry scalp, and dandruff. Luckily, there are also many essential oils available that are great for healthy hair, treating problems, and improving the look and feel of your hair.  To treat a dry scalp or dandruff, use lemon, lavender, tea tree, and rosemary in your shampoo.  To strengthen your hair or help reduce hair loss, try clary sage, lavender, wild orange, rosemary, and peppermint. For added luster and shine, try sweet basil, chamomile, and lavender.  To treat oily hair, add some bergamot, cedar wood, lemon, pine, or ylang-ylang to your shampoo.

Article in English: Your skin could be dull because it's covered in dead skin, and it may have accumulated dirt and oil over the course of the day or night. Washing will clear your pores and remove excess oil and dirt. Do not wash your face more than twice a day, however. You may irritate and dry out your skin, which will lead to a dull appearance. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and smooths out your skin for a brighter appearance. You should exfoliate both your face and body one to three times a week. More often will irritate your skin; less often will cause the build-up of dead skin cells.  Use a facial scrub for your face.  You can buy a scrub from the drug store or make your own. A good natural scrub is sugar and honey. A number of body scrubs are available for exfoliating below your neck. You may also use a scrub brush for your face. Put a few drops of your cleanser on the bristles and slowly work the brush in a circular motion around your damp face. Rinse afterwards. Use exfoliating gloves on your body. These gloves can be worn in the shower. Lather them up with your favorite body wash and work the soap over your body. Exfoliate before you shave for an extra close and smooth body. Do not use the gloves on your face. Moisturizer will make your skin glow with a healthy shine. That said, you want moisturizer that will work for your particular skin type. Different moisturizers are produced for various skin types and conditions.  If you have extremely dry skin, a lotion containing an oil base (either mineral or vegetable oil) will rehydrate your skin. If you have normal skin, find a water-based moisturizer that is not greasy. If you have oily skin that is prone to acne, try a gel or water based moisturizer that will keep your face hydrated without clogging your pores. Many people moisturize their faces but forget about the rest of their bodies! And just like with your face, you want to make sure that you choose a moisturizer that is right for your body. This will be a different type of lotion than your face.  You can choose...
