Article in English: Complete a series of timed rounds (8 rounds x 3 minutes, with 1 minute rest in between) and focus on your footwork. In rounds 1 and 2, circle the bag to the right, feeding a jab for every one to two steps you take. In rounds 3 and 4, circle the bag to the left, feeding a cross punch, a straight lined punch with your dominant hand, for every one to two steps. In rounds 5 and 6, circle the bag to the right and feed a 1-2 combo per every one to two steps. In rounds 7 and 8, circle the bag to the left and complete a 1-2-3 combo per every one to two steps.  The goal of footwork drills is to practice moving with the bag instead of waiting for it to return to you. Walk with the bag--move with it and stay loose to avoid hopping around the bag in a stiff stance. Keep the bag an arms length away from you. Complete a series of timed rounds (6 rounds x 3 minutes, with 1 minute rest in between) while focusing on improving your speed. Stand 2–3 feet (0.6–0.9 m) distance from the bag. Divide each round into 15 second intervals. In rounds 1 and 2, explode forward towards the bag in a lunge motion and jab the bag for fifteen seconds. Rest for 15 seconds and repeat until the round is over. During rounds 3 and 4, execute the same drill but substitute the jab with a 1-2 combo. Complete the same drill in rounds 5 and 6, substituting the 1-2 combo with a hook punch.  Don’t focus on your technique during speed drills--work on contracting your muscle quickly instead of perfecting your form. Bend your knees throughout the drill to avoid locking your joints. Focus on your breathing. Short, small breaths will help increase the speed of your hands. Another way to improve your speed is to use a speed bag, a small punching bag. Stand less than an arm’s length away from the speed bag with squared shoulders. Adjust the bag’s height until the bottom is level with your eyes. Keep both hands near the bag. Hit the bag with an open hand--this affords you more control over the bag--and move your hands in a small circles. Hit the bag twice with...

Article in English: Complete the steps that you have identified in the order that you have listed them. Double check each of your answers as you work to ensure accuracy. As you complete each step, you may also want to compare your answers to the estimates you came up with for each step as well as your overall estimate for the problem’s answer. Ask yourself, “Do my answers match or closely resemble my estimates?” If they do not match up, consider why. Check your answers to see if you have completed all of the steps correctly. If your plan is not working, go back to the planning stage and make a new plan. Don’t be discouraged if this happens, mistakes are common when you are just learning how to do something and you will learn from these mistakes. Accept your mistakes and move on. Try not to dwell on them or get upset. When you have solved the problem correctly, look back at your process. Taking a moment to reflect on the problem and how you solved it will help you the next time you encounter a similar problem. It will also help you to identify any concepts that you need to learn more about and practice.   .

Article in English: Complete the tasks which will benefit you the most in the long run first. You’ll need to identify the difference between “high-value” tasks (those which will benefit you the most in the long term) versus “low-value” tasks (tasks which may be easier, but will offer fewer benefits). Avoiding the less pleasant aspects of work doesn’t make them disappear. Building up a huge hunk of the bad stuff to deal with all at once, after you’ve completed the enjoyable stuff, is just going to leave a sour taste in your mouth at the end of a project.  Make lists. Enough can’t be said about the anti-procrastination benefits of seeing your work in front of you, and crossing it off as you finish it. Each list should be long enough to keep your workload in perspective, but not so long that your day feels paralyzingly demanding. One tactic is to divvy your seemingly unmanageable task into manageable chunks, then sprinkle those less-enjoyable aspects of a task into that other stuff that you really like. Stick to a schedule: physically writing out to-dos and calendars isn’t necessary for everyone, but establishing a regular schedule can help you efficiently take care of business. Scheduling the work you dislike for a specific day—and then pushing it out of your mind to avoid stress on other days—might help you conquer unhelpful procrastination habits. Follow through on the tasks you begin. Finishing one project will teach you exponentially more than a dozen fizzled-out attempts, even if you never want to look at that project again. Sometimes you’ll find yourself bogged down in work that seems, now that you’ve toiled away at it for a week, misguided in its goal. If the project has a projected timeline that will take up a great deal of your time moving forward, it’s sometimes best to reassess whether you’re spending your time well (see above, about “high-value” tasks versus “low-value” tasks). So how do you know when you should drop a project? Honest introspection, and self-awareness. If you find yourself thinking this often—and...

Article in English: Completely peel each shrimp ensuring that there are no pieces of tail or legs left behind. Peel them from the middle of their torso, where the legs are located, out. Once peeled, carefully cut them in half lengthwise. For the carrot, slice off each end and peel the outer layer. Chop the carrot into smaller pieces about two-inch each. Julienne each two inch piece into smaller matchstick-sized pieces. If you love cucumber, feel free to add to the recipe. Not only will the cucumber add to the taste, but it will also add crunch to the rolls. Remember to peel the cucumber and julienne into matchstick sized pieces. Gather your ingredients together to speed up the wrapping process. Keep your carrots, shrimp, noodles, mint, lettuce and bean sprouts together as a wrapping station. Having a wrapping station is especially helpfully if cooking a large amount of spring rolls or working with your kids to create a fun assembly line. When storing your spring rolls, keep them laid on the side with the exposed wrapper. This will prevent the wrapping from lifting or the spring roll from becoming undone. As Vietnamese spring rolls are eaten uncooked, your rolls are now ready to be devoured. Try serving these spring rolls with peanut sauce. This can be made by mixing hoisin sauce with peanut butter, and a sprinkle of water. Adding sriracha for some heat.

Article in English: Completing a successful project requires a significant amount of time and work, which means evaluating your priorities and planning your course of action. Schedule specific research time and plan daily, weekly, or monthly targets for your progress (e.g. completing a detailed project outline by the first week). Keep track of your schedule with a smartphone app such as Schedule Planner, a free iPhone app that organizes your tasks and deadlines. When looking up books, news articles, or websites, always look for the credentials of the author or creator of a text. Search for the name of the writer(s) to see if they have already been published, or cited in the work of others. Avoid anonymously-written text or any sensational writing that may be geared towards attracting readers rather than conveying facts. When researching a topic, check the date of publication of all of the reference materials that you use. Current information is always ideal, but it is imperative to find the most recent data in dynamic fields such as the sciences. Historical texts, on the other hand, would be an exception.

Article in English: Completing the square is another way to find the vertex of a quadratic equation. For this method, when you get to the end, you'll be able to find your x and y coordinates right away, instead of plugging the x coordinate back in to the original equation. Let's say you're working with the following quadratic equation: x2+4x+1=0{\displaystyle x^{2}+4x+1=0}. In this case, the coefficient of the x2{\displaystyle x^{2}}  term is 1, so you can skip this step. Dividing each term by 1 would not change anything. Dividing each term by 0, however, will change everything. The constant term is the term without a coefficient. In this case, it is 1. Move 1 to the other side of the equation by subtracting 1 from both sides. Here's how you do it:  x2+4x+1=0{\displaystyle x^{2}+4x+1=0} x2+4x+1−1=0−1{\displaystyle x^{2}+4x+1-1=0-1} x2+4x=−1{\displaystyle x^{2}+4x=-1} To do this, simply find (b2)2{\displaystyle ({\frac {b}{2}})^{2}} and add the result to both sides of the equation. Plug in 4 for b{\displaystyle b}, since4x{\displaystyle 4x} is the b-term of this equation.  (42)2=22=4{\displaystyle ({\frac {4}{2}})^{2}=2^{2}=4}. Now, add 4 to both sides of the equation to get the following:  x2+4x+4=−1+4{\displaystyle x^{2}+4x+4=-1+4} x2+4x+4=3{\displaystyle x^{2}+4x+4=3} Now you will see that x2+4x+4{\displaystyle x^{2}+4x+4} is a perfect square. It can be rewritten as (x+2)2=3{\displaystyle (x+2)^{2}=3} You can find your x{\displaystyle x} coordinate by simply setting (x+2)2{\displaystyle (x+2)^{2}} equal to zero. So when (x+2)2=0{\displaystyle (x+2)^{2}=0}, what would x{\displaystyle x} have to be? The variable x{\displaystyle x} would have to be -2 to balance out the +2, so your x{\displaystyle x} coordinate is -2. Your y-coordinate is simply the constant term on the other side of the equation. So, y=3{\displaystyle y=3}. You can also do a shortcut and just take the opposite sign of the number in parentheses to get the x-coordinate. So the vertex of the equation x2+4x+1=(−2,−3){\displaystyle x^{2}+4x+1=(-2,-3)}.

Article in English: Complimenting him shows that you’re paying attention. Try to keep your compliments short and direct and then let it go. He may respond by saying “thanks,” or he may just smile at you.  For example, you could say something like, “I thought you did a great job giving your presentation in class today.” To compliment his looks, say something like, “Your new haircut looks really good,” or “That sweater really brings out the color of your eyes.” To be a little more flirty, you could say something like, “You always make me laugh!” Making appropriate physical contact, like touching his arm or shoulder, is a great way to gauge how he feels about you. If he smiles and doesn’t draw away from you, that shows he is okay with your affection. If he does pull back, that means he isn’t interested in being that close to you. Small moments of physical contact can help build up more of a bond between the two of you, even if it’s just a friendly one. and text him to talk more outside of school. For your first text to him, say something like, “Hey Josh, this is Ryan. What are you up to?” To start other conversations, you could ask what he thought of school that day, if he started his homework yet, or what he is doing that evening. If he sends back really short texts or doesn’t respond at all, don’t send him multiple texts in a row. Just let it go until he reaches out to you or until you have another legitimate reason to text him. Pay attention to what is going on in his life, like a big test, a sports game or competition, or even something fun, like a vacation. Mention these things when you see him in person. If you have his phone number, you could even send him an encouraging text.  For example, you could send him a text that says, “Good luck at the game tomorrow!” Follow up on important events by asking about them.

Article in English: Compliments don't have any worth other than what we give them — they're not things to be exchanged for favors, used to flatter people we need to like us, or given out for no reason. Compliments are only meaningful when the person giving the compliment truly believes in them. Giving a fake compliment is a white lie at best and, at worst, can be seriously harmful, so don't do it.  For example, let's say that a guy friend has just gotten off stage after bombing at the talent show. If might at first seem like a good idea to lift his spirits with a fake compliment like, "Wow! That was amazing! Great job!" However, since he probably knows that he didn't do well, this may make him feel even worse. In this case, it's probably best to go with a sincere option like "Hey, don't worry. You'll nail it next time." Study of the brain shows that we use the patterns and stresses of speech to distinguish white lies from truth more so than non-spoken cues. If you're not being sincere, the guy will hear it in your voice. Most of the time, gracious compliments will be greatly appreciated. However, it's not always appropriate to give compliments — doing so at inopportune times can be slightly embarrassing at best (and a major faux pas at worst). Below are just a few examples of times when you won't want to give a guy a compliment, or at least will want to keep your compliment short and polite:  At solemn occasions (funerals, memorials, etc.) After he's just been embarrassed When his jealous significant other is around When he's concentrating on something difficult It's worth being aware that some guys can get embarrassed if they receive a compliment (especially a romantic one) when they're in front of their friends. In this case, since the guy is worried about saving face in front of his buddies, your compliment may have the opposite effect as you intended. at him. Nothing spells sincerity like a smile! For some guys (especially those who are attracted to you), the simple pleasure of seeing your smile can be a compliment in...

Article in English: Compliments ease tension between two people and help make their interactions more positive. If you are not very confident, you might find it difficult to take compliments from people. Maybe you become uncomfortable or reject the compliments outright. In order to become more confident, you need to learn how to accept a compliment gracefully. The next time someone pays you a compliment, resist the urge to reject it and just thank them for the kind words.  For example, you can respond to a compliment by simply saying, “Thank you. I appreciate that.” Or even a simple, yet enthusiastic, “Thanks!” will do. Make sure that you learn how to compliment others as well. Complimenting others will help take the attention off of yourself, which may help you to be more confident. Your ability to pay genuine compliments to others will also help to demonstrate your confidence. Sometime people lack confidence because they rely too much on how other people react to them. In order to be more confident, you will have to accept that you cannot change other people and you cannot do anything about their reactions to you. All that you can control is yourself. Work on becoming more accepting of other people as they are. Avoid lecturing others on their faults or trying to get other people to change. Part of being confident is projecting a positive attitude, even if other people try to bring you down. Remember that you are in control of your future, your goals, and your own happiness. If people try to damage your confidence, remind yourself of your accomplishments and admirable traits. Keep the glass half full! Try smiling or laughing, even if you don’t feel like it. Research has shown that even forced smiling and laughing can help you to feel more optimistic and confident. Staying calm in a difficult situation is not always easy, but remaining calm when a problem arises will help you to be more confident and will demonstrate to others that you are a confident person. Try taking a few deep breaths when you become overwhelmed, stressed,...

Article in English: Compost needs nitrogen and carbon, as well as air and water, in order to function properly so try to make sure that there is an available balance of all four components in order to keep the pile working properly. Typical carbon-based ingredients for compost include straw, leaves, cardboard, and shredded newspapers. However, gardeners should only add black and white or grey newsprint because colored sheets may contain potentially toxic chemicals. Add some nitrogen-based fertilizer, such as blood meal or alfalfa pellets, to the compost pile from time to time to keep it working. This is especially helpful during cold periods. Nitrogen not only generates heat, it is part of a balanced diet for all microbes. Gardeners can also add kitchen scraps, such as vegetable peels and coffee grounds, for a higher nitrogen content if the pile stops decomposing like it should. Where possible, compost piles should be located in sunny places, as this will increase heat and speed up the decomposition process. Start the composting process in the garage, basement or nearby shed and eliminate some trips to the compost bin. Cooler temperatures will reduce the usual unpleasant odors. Simply place the compost materials in a large bucket or small garbage can and take them out to the compost pile once a week or whenever the container gets full. Layer kitchen scraps between layers of “browns” or paper products to help reduce odors. Diseased plant parts, dog manure, cat manure, coal ashes, and black walnut leaves should all be kept out of the compost pile because each of these things are known to be harmful in their own fashion. Meat and dairy products should also be kept out of the compost bin because they will certainly attract unwanted attention from neighborhood animals.

Article in English: Composting foods that can be organically disposed of at home is a great way to reduce the amount of food you throw in the trash. It's good for the environment, and can give you some useful compost for the garden. Homemade compost will fertilize your soil and help with any gardening you do.  Use food scraps such as fruits and vegetables, coffee grounds, eggshells, nutshells and tea bags. Do not dispose of meat, dairy or oils this way. Add the food waste to cardboard, newspaper, vegetation and other organic materials in your compost pile. Mix it in with soil and dirt so the food can be broken down. When you add new material to the pile, turn it with a garden fork or other tool to let fresh oxygen in to help with the composting process. If you don't have a yard, you can still compost at home with an earthworm farm. If you don't have the space, or are uncertain about composting at home, you can still deal with your food waste responsibly by visiting your local recycling centre. Lots of recycling centres will have facilities to deal with food waste and composting. Generally you will be able to bring your food waste and either leave it with someone there, or dump it into the appropriate container.  Be sure you check the specific guidelines for your centre before you go. You may need to separate your food waste in a particular way before you take in it. Make sure you know what food waste they accept and what they don't. For example, they will not take meat, but they will take organic waste, such as fruit and vegetables. Your local government will be able to provide details on recycling facilities near you. Depending on where you live, you may be able to use a food waste scheme that is run by your local authority. It is becoming increasingly common for local authorities to provide a small food waste composting bin to households, which is then picked up alongside the regular trash collection.  If you are uncertain about this, contact your local authority to find out if your neighbourhood is part of a scheme. Talk to...

Article in English: Compounding interest accounts can increase even faster if you make regular contributions to them, such as adding a monthly amount to a savings account. The formula is longer than that used to calculate compound interest without regular payments, but follows the same principles. The formula is as follows: FV=P(1+ic)n∗c+R((1+ic)n∗c−1)ic{\displaystyle FV=P(1+{\frac {i}{c}})^{n*c}+{\frac {R((1+{\frac {i}{c}})^{n*c}-1)}{\frac {i}{c}}}}The variables within the equation are also the same as the previous equation, with one addition:  "P" is the principal. "i" is the annual interest rate. "c" is the compounding frequency and represents how many times the interest is compounded each year. "n" is the number of years. "R" is the amount of the monthly contribution. To compute the future value of this type of account, you will need the principal (or present value) of the account, the annual interest rate, the compounding frequency, the number of years being measured, and the amount of your monthly contribution. This information should be in your investment agreement.  Be sure to convert the annual interest rate into a decimal. Do this by dividing the rate by 100. For example, using the above 3.45% interest rate, we would divide 3.45 by 100 to get 0.0345. For compounding frequency, simply use the number of times per year that the interest compounds. This means annually is 1, monthly is 12, and daily is 365 (don't worry about leap years). Continuing with the example from above, imagine that you decide to also contribute $100 per month to your account. This account, with a principal value of $5,000, compounds monthly and earns 3.45% annual interest. We will measure the growth of the account over two years. The completed formula using this information is as follows: FV=$5,000(1+0.034512)2∗12+$100((1+0.034512)2∗12−1)0.034512{\displaystyle FV=\$5,000(1+{\frac {0.0345}{12}})^{2*12}+{\frac {\$100((1+{\frac {0.0345}{12}})^{2*12}-1)}{\frac {0.0345}{12}}}} Again, remember to use the proper order of operations to do so. This means...

Article in English: Compromising means that you come up with a solution that both people can feel okay about even if neither gets exactly what he or she wants.  A compromise is a good way to defuse a dispute or to address a family problem.  The first step is trying to figure out whether the problem is solvable. That depends on the nature of the problem, and what’s already been done to solve it. If you’ve tried and tried and keep getting the same result, that may be different. But consider what points of common ground you have with the other person, and what points you would be willing to give in on.  If you don’t give in on anything, you’re less likely to make headway in the dispute. One technique to develop compromise is for both people in the dispute to sit down and draw two circles that relate to the family problem. In the first circle, write down everything you’re not willing to compromise on. In the outer circle, write down the areas where you are willing to bend. Then, share the circles. There are some families that don't function well as a group. We've all been in dysfunctional groups where there's a negative dynamic at play. Sometimes, this comes out when everyone's together.  Instead of broaching painful family problems at holiday gatherings or a big family dinner, try to figure out who the conflict is really between. If it's between you and one other family member, the rest of the family may feel very uncomfortable being dragged into it, because no one likes to be forced to take a side. Instead, ask the family member in question to meet you for lunch or coffee. Talking one-on-one in a neutral space can be a much better way to redress whatever grievances you have or they might have. People will say things individually that they would hesitate to say in a group. Don’t try talking to the family member when you’re distracted, working on a big work project, fielding a bunch of phone calls, doing the dishes, or the like. Instead, put everything down to focus on the issue and them. Although a lot of disputes can be handled...

Article in English: Compulsive shoppers often cannot control their spending habits and become emotional spenders. They "shop till they drop" and then they keep shopping. But compulsive shopping and spending generally makes a person feel worse, rather than better, about themselves.  Compulsive shopping usually affects women more than men. Women with compulsive shopping issues usually have racks of clothing with the tags still on them. They will go to the mall with the intention of buying just one item and come home with bags of clothing. Compulsive shopping can be a seasonal balm for depression, anxiety, and loneliness during the holiday season. It can also occur when a person feels depressed, lonely and angry. Do you go on weekly shopping sprees? Do you continually spend more than you can afford?  Do you get a certain rush when you go shopping and buying things you don't need? You may feel a certain "high" when buying many things on a weekly basis. Notice if you have large amounts of debt on your credit card or multiple credit cards. You may also hide your purchases from concerned family members or partners. Or you may try to cover up your spending by taking on a part-time job to supplement your spending habits. Individuals who have a compulsive spending problem will likely be in denial and have a hard time admitting they have a problem. Compulsive shopping is considered an addiction. So talking to a professional therapist or going into a support group for compulsive shoppers are both important ways you can address the issue and work to resolve it. During therapy, you may identify the underlying issues behind your compulsive spending and acknowledge the dangers of over spending. Therapy can also offer healthy alternative ways to cope with your emotional issues.

Article in English: Computer monitors are usually made with an aspect ratio of 4:3, 5:3, 16:9, or 16:10. To find the aspect ratio, compare the length to the height and reduce the numbers if necessary.  If the length is 16 inches (40.6 cm) and the height is 10 inches (25.4 cm), the aspect ratio is 16:10. If the length is 25 inches (63.5 cm) and the height is 15 inches (38.1 cm), the aspect ratio is 25:15, which can be divided by 5 to reduce it to 5:3. The diagonal measurement is what is usually referred to when describing the size of the monitor. Use a tape measure or ruler to find the distance between, for instance, the top left corner of the screen and the bottom right corner of the screen. Don’t include the bevel or frame that borders the screen. If the screen is too large to measure diagonally or if you don’t want to smudge it, you can use the pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal distance. Square the screen’s height and the screen’s width, add the 2 numbers together, then find the square root of the sum, which is the diagonal measurement. For example, if the height is 10 inches (25.4 cm), multiply that by itself (10x10=100). Then, multiply the length, 16 inches (40.6 cm), by itself (16x16=256). Add the 2 numbers together (100+256=356), then find the square root of the sum (√356=18.9).

Article in English: Computer programming is done as essentially a set of written instructions that the computer follows (also known as binary coding). These instructions can be written in several different "languages", or which are simply different ways of organizing the instructions and text. Different languages tend to be used to create different types of programs, however, so choose a language that you feel is relevant to what you want to do. If you decide that a language does not suit your needs, you can always move on to a new language. . These languages are mainly used for creating standalone computer applications such as games. C and C++ are difficult languages to learn for a beginner, but not impossible. Learning them will give you an in-depth understanding of not only programming (most programming languages inherit some concept or the other from C and C++) but also of how a computer works. They are popular and widely used, though C#, a language very similar to Java, is starting to become much more common. onsider Java or JavaScript. These are good languages to learn if you want to work on making web plugins (JavaScript) or mobile apps (Java). These languages are very much in demand right now, so they are handy to know.

When you have a slow Internet connection, you generally can't run more than one bandwidth-heavy service (e.g., Netflix, an online video game, YouTube, etc.) at a time; however, running several smaller bandwidth-using items can also be detrimental to your Internet's speed. Focus on one program at a time for optimal speed. When using smartphones or consoles, be sure to exit an app completely rather than just minimizing it. If the app is running in the background, it can still cause your Internet speed to decrease. While closing bandwidth-heavy programs on your computer will help improve your browser's performance, your Internet will continue to be slow if several other computers/smartphones/entertainment sources are actively connected to your network. You can diminish the number of other items with which you have to share your Internet by turning them off temporarily. Placing Internet-connected items in Airplane Mode will also fix this problem. Many modern routers include two bands: a 2.4 GHz band, which is the standard for wireless communication, and a 5 GHz band, which accommodates faster downloads and results in less interference. If your router has a 5 GHz band, switching to it will prevent interference from other Internet-connected items and nearby wireless connections.  You can usually switch to the 5 GHz band from within your item's Wi-Fi settings. Each router will have a different name for the 5 GHz band, so check your router's manual or online documentation. Not all routers have 5 GHz bands. If your router only has the standard 2.4 GHz band, skip this step. Since 5 GHz bands have less range than do 2.4 GHz bands, doing this will often require you to keep your Internet-connected items within 10 to 15 feet of the router. instead of...

Article in English: Computers, televisions, cell phones, and other devices can make it harder for you to wind down and fall asleep. These devices can also affect the quality of your sleep. Try to turn off all of these devices at least 30 minutes before you plan to go to bed.  Avoid watching television in bed, reading in bed, or doing anything else that might activate your mind. Your bedroom activities should be limited to sleep and sex. Another strategy to use for your computer is using software that adjusts the light on your computer based upon the time of day. Dimming the lights in your bedroom will help to send the signal to your brain and body that it is time for sleep. Make sure that the lights in your home are turned down low about 30 minutes before bedtime.  It is best to make your room as dark as possible when you go to sleep, but you can have a dim light if needed. Try plugging in a night light or using a flameless candle to provide some soothing dim light in your bedroom. If your room gets a lot of light from outside sources, then you can try using light blocking curtains or wear a sleep mask. Music can help you to relax and start to drift off to sleep as well. If you have a hard time sleeping with music playing, then you might enjoy some white noise instead, such as some rain sounds or the sound of ocean waves crashing on a beach.  A fan or air purifier will also provide you with some soothing white noise. White noise helps to raise the sound threshold so that you will not be startled awake by normal ambient noises, such as a passing car or barking dog. A cool temperature is best for sleeping. Before you go to bed, adjust the temperature in your bedroom so that it is somewhat cool, around 60 to 67°F (15.5 to 19.4°C). You can experiment within this range to see what works best for you. If your bedroom gets hot in the summer, you can use a fan or air conditioning unit to cool down your room. Your pinched nerve pain might have you feeling anxious and stressed and this can make it hard to fall asleep. To help yourself...

Article in English: Concentrate on your breathing and how it feels in your body. If you find your mind wandering, acknowledge it and bring your attention back to your breathing.  Close your eyes. Inhale deeply through your nose for four to five seconds. Hold your breath for a comfortable amount of time (try to count to “7”). Exhale purposefully, controlling the rate of exhalation instead of letting all the air just rush out of your lungs. Try to exhale for a count of “8”. Repeat this sequence three times. Studies have shown that learning mindfulness meditation can significantly improve the quality of your sleep. Mindfulness focuses on accepting your experiences in the moment without judgment. These techniques can be especially helpful when you find your mind wandering.  Lie in bed. Prepare with your breathing exercises. Continue breathing deeply as you proceed. Check in with your thoughts. Just see what’s going on in your mind. Don’t try to “stop” thinking or resist your thoughts in any way. Accept their flow. Check in with your body. Focus your attention on where your body makes contact with the bed. Is your weight distributed evenly? Are there any places where you feel discomfort? Check in with your senses. What do you hear? What do you smell? What do you feel? Determine whether these sensory experiences are things you can change or things that are out of your control. If you can’t control the noise, acknowledge this. Return your attention to your body. Do a “scan” from head to toe. Observe any areas where you feel discomfort, tension, or tightness. When you notice tension, remind yourself that you will soon be asleep, and that rest will relax you. Also notice any areas where you feel pleasant or comfortable. Go through your thoughts, starting at the beginning of your day. Take about three minutes to review your day in a focused way. Allow yourself to “replay” the events, thoughts, and feelings of the day, but don’t get wrapped up in them. Acknowledge that each happened and then move to the next thought or event. Finally,...

Article in English: Concentration is incredibly important for retaining your memory.You need to keep things simple. This is why you enter a room and forget why you came in. It's because you were probably planning your party at the same time, or thinking about the TV episode that you just watched and you weren't concentrating. When you're studying and trying to remember things for school, then focus on that one task.Don't think about that friend's party from the weekend. Don't try to do a bunch of different tasks at the same time, or you won't get the full benefit from any of them. Get away from your typical surroundings that make demands on your time, when you need to study. This means leaving your house, your family, your friends, your pets, your TV while you're studying.  Find a specific place to study and don't do other things while you're there (like pay your bills, do leisure activities, etc.). Make sure that you only study when you're in that place, as it will help your brain get into the studying mode. Choose an area that has good ventilation and light so that you are more likely to stay awake and not get distracted. If you do find that you can't work and that you're not retaining anything, take a short break (not too long and don't do anything that will start consuming your time like going on the internet). Go for a short walk, or get a drink. Sometimes the distractions don't come from your friends or family, but come from your own brain. Often when you're reading something for school you find that your brain hasn't been on the material, but instead has been thinking about that party you're going to or wondering whether you've paid your electricity bill.  Keep a specific notebook for these distracting thoughts. If it's a thought that requires later attention (like paying your electricity bill), jot that thought down and dismiss it from your mind so you can work. Make the distraction a reward. Tell yourself that once you have finished reading (and understanding and remembering) this next section, you'll take a break to...

Article in English: Concentration meditation is the foundation of all the other types of meditation. Meditation works best when you strengthen your concentration to the point of cutting out all distractions, or intense focus on nothingness. Reaching this level allows your mind to be calm and to move beyond your sense of self. Once attained, you can use it for wellness and a positive outlook.  One of the methods to practice this type of mediation is to concentrate on a single object like an image, sound, or even your own breath. By consistently returning to focus on the object, the mind develops the capacity to remain calm. Different types of popular concentration meditations are transcendental, zen, om, shine or Samadhi, and chakra meditation. Reflective meditation, or analytical meditation, stimulates the power of dramatic change by providing you with great conviction and strength to reorder your life ways. This type of meditation requires “disciplined thinking.” In this case, a question, theme, or topic is chosen to contemplate for analysis. It is okay to let your mind wander for a short time, but it is vital that you bring your thought back to the reflection to make your mind stronger.  It would be a good idea to master concentration meditation first since this type requires a higher degree of concentration and contemplation. Typical questions you can focus on are: “Who am I?” “What is the true purpose of my life?” “What is my role in the universe?” or “How can I help remove the suffering of others?” Mindfulness mediation is a combination of concentration and open awareness. It emphasizes the cultivation of highly receptive attention toward any object or action within your sphere of influence. It is simply being “mindful,” or “paying attention” to your surroundings. Practitioners claim the benefits provide pain relief and helps support sufferers of anxiety and depression.  This is the most popular meditation type in the Western Hemisphere. You practice this meditation type by concentrating on an object such as breath,...

Article in English: Concoct a mixture of two parts white vinegar, and one part water (cold or warm). Pour the mixture onto the stain, and let it soak overnight. Then, wash your garment as you normally would. Some people can't stand the smell of vinegar. If that's the case for you, skip ahead to one of the following options below. Create a paste out of baking soda and warm water. Use just enough baking soda and water to make a paste-like texture. Then, get an clean toothbrush and firmly apply the paste to the area. Gently scrub back and forth, then let the stain sit for a few hours. Finally, rinse the stain. Put them in a cup. Then, add about two tablespoons of water until the mixture becomes paste-like. Apply it onto the stain, and let it sit for an hour. Rinse the stained part of the garment. Lightly sprinkle salt onto the stain. Then squeeze some lemon juice onto the stain until it's saturated. Rub the stain until it's gone, and then launder your jeans.  This is a great preventative measure as well. You could use the mixture on shirts you know you'll sweat in (like gym shirts). Keep in mind that lemon juice might lighten your jeans' color.

Article in English: Concrete is mixed by adding together Portland cement, sand, and coarse aggregate (gravel) together in a ratio of 1:2:4. Water is added to the dry mixture to bind all the components together. In a concrete mixer, add the determined amount of water and then the concrete mix. You can also mix this in a wheelbarrow with a shovel. Use as little water as possible. Water makes the concrete more maneuverable but it also weakens the constitution of the final product. A drier mix makes the concrete more crack resistant. Turn on the machine. The mix will become smooth and consistent. Shut off the machine. You can sometimes get a truck to pour concrete straight into your form; otherwise, load it into wheelbarrows and tilt them into the form until the high point is reached. While doing this, enlist some helpers to spread out the concrete with shovels, rakes and "come alongs," which is a special concrete rake. Starting at the uphill point, use a screeding tool to flatten out the wet concrete. Screeding involves jiggling a wide plank of wood back and forth, if possible immediately over the forms, to create a flat surface. Work your way from top to bottom, gently screeding until you have a flat surface. Your concrete surface won't be finished yet, but it will begin to look more complete and professional looking at this point. At this point, you should move fairly quickly as the concrete will set fast. Your floating process will contain two steps:  Use a large floating device, also known as a bull float, to press down aggregate and help the cream (gravel-free concrete) rise to the surface. Do this by moving the bull float away from you, keeping the tailing edge slightly elevated, and then moving the bull float back towards you, keeping the leading edge slightly elevated. Use a magnesium hand float to go over the surface. After some of the water bleeds to the surface, use long sweeping motions with your hand float. Line up a plank as a straight edge to make periodic joints in the concrete. These joints will help the concrete...

Article in English: Concrete's volume (the amount of physical space it takes up) is typically measured in either cubic yards (yds3) or cubic meters (m3). A cubic yard is a 3-dimensional cube that is 3 feet long in each dimension, while a cubic meter is a cube that is 1 meter long in each dimension. Typically, bags of dry concrete mix will specify the volume of "wet" concrete each bag will make when properly mixed with water. Below are rough estimates for how many bags of dry concrete mix it takes to make one cubic meter of wet concrete: 40 kg bag: 56 bags to make 1 cubic meter 32 kg bag: 71 " " " 1 cubic meter 26 kg bag: 86 " " " 1 cubic meter Compared to other 3-D shapes, a rectangular prism's volume is relatively easy to calculate, so, if possible, it is best to break your entire project up into one or more rectangular prisms. For example, if your project calls for you to pour a single rectangular slab-on-grade, that slab would be your only prism. However, if you need to pour a slab along with 4 straight walls, each wall would be its own prism, resulting in a total of 5 prisms. A rectangular prism is a three-dimensional shape with six faces, all of which are rectangles; opposite faces in a rectangular prism are parallel to each other. In layman's terms, a rectangular prism can be thought of as any "boxy" shape with straight edges. A rectangular prism's volume can be found by multiplying its length times its width times its height. For example, in the next few steps, let's imagine that we're pouring a slab that is 10 feet (3.05 m) long, 12 feet wide (3.66 m), and 4 inches (10.16 cm) deep. Our slab's length and width are given in feet and meters, but its height is given in inches and centimeters. For our volume equation to work, all measurements must be in the same units, so we must convert. Since there are 12 inches per foot, we should divide our inch value by 12 to get a value for feet. The slab is 4 / 12 = 0.33 feet deep. To convert from centimeters to meters, simply divide a centimeter value by 100. A slab that is 10.16 cm...

Article in English: Condensed milk is typically sold in non-refrigerated cans. For this recipe, you want make sure the milk is good and cold before mixing your ingredients. Place it in the fridge for a few hours before you get started. Take the heavy cream out of the refrigerator and get to work immediately, since you want to make sure your ingredients are very cold when you mix them together. Start by beating the cream at a medium speed using a whisk attachment. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. If you don’t have a stand mixer, a hand mixer will work fine. Once your stiff peaks have started to form, take the chilled condensed milk out of the fridge. Turn the mixer speed down to low and slowly pour the condensed milk in with the cream. Add the vanilla extract. After the additional ingredients have been added, turn the mixer back up to medium speed. Keep beating the mixture until it thickens and stiff peaks begin to form again. The peaks will be much thicker this time around. If you like your vanilla ice cream with additional flavors and additives, now is the time to add them! You can add anything you want, so experiment and have fun. Try adding crushed cookies, fruit purees, nuts, cake pieces, chocolate syrup and more to create your own custom flavor. Stir the mixture well to fully incorporate your add-ins.  For example, to make strawberry cheesecake ice cream, add 1 cup of cheesecake and your desired amount of strawberry puree. Mix in 2/3 cup crushed Oreos to make cookies and cream ice cream. Add 1/4 cup mango puree for a fruity mango ice cream. Transfer your ice cream mixture into a large freezer-safe container that can be resealed (like Tupperware). Put it in the freezer for at least 6 hours, or overnight. After 6 hours, your ice cream is ready to be enjoyed.

Article in English: Conditioner makes hair smooth and silky, but when you're trying to hold curls, you want a rougher, dryer texture. If your hair is too slippery, it won't hold curl. When you wash your hair, rinse out the shampoo and skip the conditioner altogether. This product is actually made for people with curly hair, but it works great for straight-haired people who want to add curl, too. Use a dime or quarter-sized amount, depending on the length of your hair. Comb it through your hair from the roots to the tips to distribute the product evenly. If you don't have curl cream, you can use gel or mousse instead. Don't add too much product to your hair, since you could end up weighing it down. Too much product will cause the curls to fall out instead of staying in place. There are many methods used to curl wet hair without using any type of heat. You can have shiny, glossy, well-shaped curls or waves without using a curling iron; you just need some extra time. Try one of these popular methods to get the look you want:   Create pin curls  Make sock bun curls  Curl hair with an old t-shirt No matter which curling method you use, the secret is to let your hair completely dry. You can help it along by blowing the pinned-up curls with a blow dryer. Alternatively, sleep on the curls and let them dry overnight. Unpin one curl to test and see if they're dry. If the curl is still wet inside, pin it back up and wait few more hours, then try again. Remove the pins, t-shirt-strips or socks that helped you curl your hair, and let your curls down gently. Avoid combing or brushing them, since this can cause them to fall out right away. Use a medium or strong-hold spray to finish the look and hold your curls in place for the rest of the day. Remember to avoid touching your hair too much, since puling on the curls can make them fall out faster.

Article in English: Condoms can become brittle and more likely to break if you don’t store them correctly. Condoms that are exposed to heat or light are more likely to tear.  Don’t keep condoms in your back pocket, wallet, or glovebox. If you think you may get lucky, put a couple in your wallet or car right before you hit the town. Don’t leave them there for days or weeks. Store condoms in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep condoms in their wrappers until you’re ready to use them. Push the condom away from the edge you plan to tear, and use the easy-tear edges. These are the zig-zag edges on either side of the wrapper that are designed to tear apart quickly and easily.  Don't get carried away in your passion. Don't shred open the foil, and stay away from scissors, teeth, machetes, or any other sharp instrument to open a condom wrapper, or you could tear the condom itself! A torn condom won’t protect against pregnancy or STDs.  If it's your last condom and you destroy it, party's over! This reservoir should already be on the outer tip of the condom, but it can sometimes become inverted during packaging. Make sure the reservoir is oriented so that the rest of the condom rolls away from it. Consider placing a small drop of water-based lubricant inside the reservoir. This can make the condom easier to apply, especially if you are uncircumcised. Make sure this is a very small drop, as you don’t want to compete with the sperm for space inside the reservoir tip.  Do not apply lotion, baby oil, petroleum jelly, or oil-based lube, as it will degrade and weaken the latex. A condom should always fit snugly over a penis, leaving no tight or baggy spots. If rolled over a penis that is not yet fully erect, it will fit awkwardly and be more likely to fall off or tear during sex. The condom should go from the package to your genitals relatively quickly. Don't unwrap the condom until you are fully erect and ready to use it. Never try to reuse a condom. This eliminates the possibility of creating an air pocket inside the condom...

Article in English: Conduct disorder is the young-age counterpart of antisocial personality disorder; essentially, conduct disorder is antisocial personality disorder for children. It is indicated by bullying behavior, disregard for life (mistreating animals), anger and authority problems, inability to show/feel remorse, and general poor or criminal conduct.  These conduct problems often appear early and are developed by age 10.  Most psychologists and psychiatrists consider conduct disorder to be a top predictor of a future diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder. Conduct disorder involves behavior that intentionally inflicts harm on others, including aggression towards other children, adults, and animals.  It is behavior that is repeated or developed over time, rather than isolated to a single event.  The following behaviors may indicate conduct disorder:   Pyromania (obsession with fire) Prolonged bed wetting Animal cruelty Bullying Property destruction Theft Neither conduct disorder nor antisocial personality disorder are easily treated with psychotherapy.  Treatment is complicated by the commonality of co-morbidity, which is the tendency of conduct disorder to coincide with other disorders such as substance abuse problems, mood disorders, or psychopathy.  This co-morbidity makes the treatment of these individuals increasingly complex, necessitating the involvement of psychotherapy, medication, and other approaches.  The effectiveness of even a multifaceted approach may vary based on the severity of the individual case.  More severe cases are less likely than milder cases to respond successfully to treatment. Children suffering from ODD challenge authority, but they feel responsible for the consequences of their actions. They often challenge adults, break rules, and blame others for their problems. ODD can be treated successfully with psychotherapy and medication. This treatment often includes involving parents in family cognitive behavioral therapy and giving the child social skills training. It is possible for conduct...

Article in English: Conduct research about your target market. You can look up information online or at a library, or you can conduct your own experiments by polling members of your target market or giving them samples to try to review. Make sure to consider what your target market should be. Certain demographics to consider include age, gender, education level, location, interests, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Once you have some feedback about your product and more information about your target market, make any changes that seem appropriate to perfect it for your market. Remember that while you will get widely differing opinions, if there are common criticisms of your product, they are probably correct and should be addressed. Think about how much money you will have to market your product in the beginning. This will determine what type of marketing you do and sometimes what strategy you use. You will need to determine how much of your product at what price will need to sell in order to keep your business afloat. This is very, very important. Balancing this will be tricky and it may take some time to figure out the right formula. This is when you will need to write out and specify your sales timeline, target market needs, priorities, objectives, challenges, how you will acquire new business, and how you will grow your existing business. A sales plan will be necessary if you want investors to consider your product. There are a number of different ways you can market your product, or different approaches in who you market to and what aspect of people you appeal to in your marketing. These strategies can bring you widely different customers or they can help you soar with a specific set of people.  Consider a concentrated marketing strategy. This is when your marketing appeals to and is targeted at only your target market. This is commonly seen with luxury items, which get marketed to very specific parts of a population, but can also be seen in other areas as well. Think Teen Magazine. Consider an undifferentiated marketing...

Article in English: Conduct research and talk to other people in your field to narrow your search down to the areas you're most likely to find a job. If you conduct a nationwide search, you'll have less time to research each job and will find it difficult to demonstrate a serious desire to relocate to each employer.  If you already know the exact location you'll be moving to, research other cities within commuting distance as well. Try to estimate your chances realistically. If you have little work experience or lack a qualification many people in your field hold such as an advanced degree, don't assume you'll be able to get a job in a competitive area, especially before you move there. Once you've narrowed down your list to a few locations, find out everything you can about each one. You'll avoid wasted time if you find out you don't want to move there, and your knowledge of the area will demonstrate seriousness to a potential employer when you get an interview.  Consider factors unrelated to your career, such as weather, housing prices, and demographics. Research local schools if you have children. If you discover a dream job outside the areas you were considering, try to conduct your research objectively before jumping on the chance to apply. Search online for job mailing lists in the area you'd like to move to. Sign up for national mailing lists for your profession as well, especially if there are multiple locations you could move to. Ask the mailing list owner whether you can send out a request for people familiar with the target area to contact you. Ask your colleagues and business contacts whether they know anyone there. Post on social media to see if any of your friends are familiar with the region or know someone who lives there. Networking is one of the most important steps for finding any type of job, but getting a contact to recommend you greatly increases the chance that an out of state company will take you seriously.

Article in English: Confidence comes from having a well developed sense of self and a grounded sense of stability. In specific terms this means not bragging about your successes and being unwavering in your commitment to overcome personal fears and obstacles:  Accept yourself. You do not owe explanations for who you are and how you behave in the world. People will not acknowledge you if you have not already learned to accept yourself. This means that you have faced your dark emotions and thoughts, have processed them, reached your own conclusions and have a purpose and ambitious path in life. Ambitious can mean different things for different people, but women admire guys who know where they are going and actively work each day to move closer to what they want. Confidence and arrogance are two different things. Confidence is inner strength, while arrogance is an outer display of overconfidence and an unhealthy obsession with an individual's persona. The arrogant man spends all his energy persuading others that he is always right and can do no wrong. The confident man does not involve himself in such behavior. He knows he is not perfect. You have to want to keep yourself clean and your body lean. Outside influences cannot do this for you. Change and sexual power comes from within. The sexiest thing a guy can do is to understand what he wants, who he is, and where he currently stands in relation to where he wants to be. Next, work hard to get there.

Summary in Russian:

Будьте уверены в себе. Станьте самой сексуальной версией себя самого.


Article in English: Confidence is attractive, so think positive thoughts about yourself. Tell yourself, “I've got this! I'm fun, easy to talk to, and a great person.” The more comfortable you are in your own skin, the more at ease you’ll be when you talk to the girl you like.  Additionally, keeping your cool will set the tone; she might get uncomfortable if you’re nervous and jittery. To relax before starting a conversation with the girl you like, try taking slow, deep breaths for a few minutes while imagining calming scenery. A joke can be a great way to break the ice, but you don’t want to be cheesy. If you’re not confident about your comedic timing, you could also just make an observation or ask a question. Just make sure whatever you say is open-ended, or invites a response from her.  For instance, you could say, “So how about our math homework last night? It was so long, I thought the problems would never end!” or just ask, “Hey! How’s your day going?” If you don’t already know her that well, introduce yourself. Say something like, “Hey, how are you? I’m Sam—I’m in your history class. What do you think of Mr. Jones going off on Tyler like that yesterday?” Think of a compliment that focuses on a quality you admire, like her sense of humor, style, or intelligence. Thoughtful compliments like these will probably make her feel more special than just saying something about her looks or body.  For example, say, “I saw the school play last week, and you did a great job! You have a gorgeous voice,” or “Congrats on acing another test! You’re so smart!” If you do want to compliment her looks, keep it respectful. Try telling her, “You have really beautiful eyes,” or simply say, “You look really nice.” You don’t want to lose her interest or make things awkward, so try to keep the conversation flowing. It might be helpful to think of topics to talk about ahead of time. Asking questions that prompt more than a simple “Yes” or “No” can also help keep the conversation going.  If you need to fill an awkward pause, try asking questions like...

Summary in Russian:

Поверьте в свои силы и ведите себя естественно. Начните разговор с шутки или открытого вопроса. Сделайте вдумчивый комплимент. Избегайте неловких пауз. Не напирайте слишком сильно. Намекайте на свои чувства.


Article in English: Confidence is one of the most attractive qualities a person can possess. You don't have to be super sexy or built like Chris Hemsworth, either. All confidence requires is a firm belief in your own self-worth. If you believe it, that girl you like? She's going to believe it, too.  It takes time and a little effort to build your confidence, especially if you're starting from a low point. Even if you don't believe in yourself, pretend like you do. Faking confidence actually tricks your brain into believing that you are confident!  Stand up straight when you're walking, like you matter. Take up space like crossing your ankle across your knee when you're sitting. Leaning nonchalantly against a nearby surface. Avoid crossing your arms across your chest, or not making eye contact when you talk to people. Both of these are defensive gestures. Part of being confident is being yourself and being okay with who that is. Trying to change yourself to be someone else isn't going to work with her. She's going to see that you're not comfortable with yourself and that you're lying about who you are and she won't be pleased.  Show what makes you unique and why you're interesting. You don't have to walk around wearing a pocket protector (do people do that anymore?), but you don't have to hide that you're interested in computers. She will accept you and if she doesn't.. she's probably not worth your time! Don't try to be someone else, especially if you're trying to be the person you think she wants. If she isn't interested in the person you are, she's not the girl for you. It's hard to attract the girl that you like when you overwhelm her with your smell and your greasy hair. Try to shower at least a couple times a week and use soap. Wear clothes that have been recently laundered. Reusing jeans and trousers is fine, as long as they aren't super dirty, but change your shirt each day.  Be careful about using aftershave or cologne. A little goes a long way! You don't want to approach the girl you like in a cloud of cologne. Keep it...

Summary in Russian:

Работайте над уверенностью в себе. Будьте собой. Следите за собой. Ведите активную жизнь.


Article in English: Confidence is the backbone of being sexy and appealing. Have confidence in everything that you do. It shows a high level of self-esteem and demands a certain level of respect from onlookers.  Don’t be quiet. If you’re a quiet person, you don’t have to lose yourself and become an extreme extrovert. But don’t let being quiet dull your shine. Gain sex appeal by staying engaged in conversation, even if it’s only a couple words at a time. Always dress for the occasion. Even if you’re running errands, put on an outfit that makes you feel great. The better you feel about yourself, the sexier you appear. Try something new, meet new people, and continue to grow. All of these experiences will teach you what you like and don’t like and make your more comfortable with yourself and that makes it easier to be confident. Having sex appeal means you have a fun, delightful, delicious manner about yourself. Add some surprise into this and you’ll have ultimate irresistibility. Knowledge is power; power is sexy. If you’re always staying engaged, you’re always going to be learning. The more you know, the more confident you’ll be—about yourself, your job, your hobbies, or anything else.  Always ask questions. This can get you noticed. Whether it’s in a work meeting, group outing, or new class, attention will be on you if you ask a question confidently. Don’t get complacent. This stands for every aspect of your life. If you stop challenging yourself, you’ll stop growing. Someone continually moving forward with life attracts other people who are doing the same. Not only is working out going to make you look better, but it will make you feel better immediately. Even if you’re tired, working out will give you more energy, so get to the gym as often as you can.  Have a good body image. A good body image portrays confidence. You don’t have to be a model to be sexy. Know that your body is healthy, take care of it, and own it. Endorphins keep you engaged. Endorphins are released when you exercise, they give you more energy and high energy...

Summary in Russian:

Выражайте уверенность во всех делах. Ведите себя спонтанно. Демонстрируйте, что вам нравится учиться. Запишитесь в тренажерный зал. Заводите новых друзей.


Article in English: Confidence, like many things, is a skill that can be learned. Even if you don't start off feeling confident, the more you practice, the better you'll get and the happier you'll feel. Think positively about your life. When faced with an obstacle, tell yourself that you can overcome it.  Even if you’re not feeling confident, try acting confident with body language. Stand up straight while you're walking or sitting. Avoid standing with your arms crossed. Instead, put your hands on your hips. Just smiling, even if you force it, can help you feel instantly happier and more confident, as your brain releases endorphins.   Stop negative thinking. Every time you start having negative thoughts about yourself, stop yourself and re-frame the thought into a positive or neutral one. For example, if you find yourself thinking "I am so worthless,” think instead, “I am really valuable to myself and others.” Never stop educating yourself throughout your life. It will keep your brain sharp, lower your risk for diseases like Alzheimer's, and give you interesting things to discuss with other people. Start with subjects that are interesting to you, such as video game design or historical costuming.  Educate yourself about what is happening in the world: advances in science, medicine, politics, art, and current events. This keeps you in touch with what is going on. Try to learn a new skill, such as knitting, speaking a foreign language, or understanding astrophysics. Reading books and articles, watching the news and documentaries, or doing online tutorials are all great ways to keep learning. No matter how successful you are, no matter how healthy you are, no matter what you do or don't do, you're going to make mistakes and experience failure. Sometimes these incidents will be your fault, sometimes they won't. It's how you respond to them that will determine your ability to be successful at life.  Your attitude toward life shapes how you experience things. Let go of your expectations and accept life as it is. This will empower you...

Article in English: Configure your coals into a two-zone fire. This means that you will cast your coals to cover about half of the grill to produce medium to high-temperature zones. You can use any coals for grilling. Self-lighting coals are generally easier to work with. If your coals call for lighter fluid, carefully squirt lighter fluid on the top and sides of the charcoal mound. Squirt the lighter fluid gently and wait a minute or two for the fluid to sink into the coals. This will prevent all the lighter fluid from burning off immediately. After waiting a minute, squirt a second layer, followed by a third before lighting your coals. Avoid squirting lots of lighter fluid into your coals during each application. Less fluid is better than more. Lighter fluid can add a chemical taste to your burgers if you use too much. It doesn’t take a lot of lighter fluid to get your fire going. You will only need about 1.6 ounces of lighter fluid per pound of charcoal. Toasting buns is quick and easy. Simply split your buns open and place them on the grill with the cut side down. Make sure to place them on the cooler side of the grill to keep them from burning or cooking too quickly. Grill your buns for about 10 seconds and flip if desired..  You can lightly butter the inside of your buns before toasting if you'd like. Watch the buns closely as they can burn easily. Take your burgers off the grill as soon as they are done to avoid overcooking. Remember that they will cook a little bit after they are taken from the grill. Serve your burgers with a variety of condiments

Article in English: Confirm that you're using monophasic pills and that you already have the next pack. Make sure that you can discern between the active pills (which suppress your period) and the placebo pills (which trigger a week of withdrawal bleeding). Use a calendar to chart out your birth control schedule for the weeks leading up to the period that you want to skip.  Monophasic pills cause less spotting than multiphasic pills, making them better suited to skipping periods. However, you can still skip a period using multiphasic pills. Ask your gynecologist about which pills you can skip in order to miss your period.  If you aren't already on a birth control program, speak to your gynecologist about starting. Only take birth control pills that you've been prescribed by a licensed physician. If you are taking monophasic pills, then you just need to take the same pill every day. If you are using multiphasic pills, then you'll need to be careful to keep to the schedule. If you aren't sure, ask your gynecologist for advice on how to proceed. If your birth control is packaged with a "period week" of placebo pills, feel free to discard the placebos. They are sugar pills, and you won't need them if you are going to skip your "period." Skip the placebo pills. Begin the next month's birth control packet immediately at the end of the regular three-week regimen. Make sure that you are ready with the new pills as the three-week mark approaches!  Remember: if you're taking birth control, you are not actually getting your period on the fourth "placebo" week of the month. The bleeding that occurs is "withdrawal bleeding" as your body responds to stopping the hormones. Withdrawal bleeding does not pose a serious risk to your health and skipping withdrawal bleeding does not affect your health. It is safe to skip your period indefinitely using hormonal birth control. You may experience minimal spotting. However, this should not last more than a day. Monophasic pills are more stable than multiphasic pills, and thus less likely to trigger...

Article in English: Conflict starts long before a fight develops. Positive and assertive interaction with the group may off-set any violence. Do your best to minimize conflict by being good-natured, not picking arguments with volatile people you don't know very well, or making off-color comments that could deeply offend the people around you. . Unless you are a skilled fighter or are in a situation where you cannot escape, your best bet is to run away, fast. Head to somewhere public and call for help. Running is also likely to separate your attackers, making it more likely to be able to confront them individually. Be extra careful when you're running so you avoid getting surrounded or running right in to a trap.

Summary in Russian:

Остановите или предотвратите драку до ее начала. Если есть возможность — бегите.


Article in English: Confrontation makes shy guys nervous. Not only will he deny that he’s interested, but he’ll probably also begin avoiding you afterwards out of embarrassment. Always use subtle techniques when interacting with a shy guy. Shy guys’ top priority is secrecy.  If a shy guy likes you, it’s extremely likely that he hasn’t told anyone and doesn’t intend to.  Asking his friends has a very serious downside: You may be given bad information about whether or not he likes you. Because he's shy and doesn't express his feelings often, you might get the idea that he's not interested when he actually is. Asking his friends also has the downside of putting the ball in his court. When he knows — or guesses — that you like him, he's going to think that you want him to ask you out. This makes him feel pressured. As frustrating as it may be, you're going to have to do a lot of the work here, helping him feel relaxed along the way. Shy guys’ behavior can be so strange that it might not make sense on its own. Instead of only analyzing his behavior when he’s around you, compare it to how he acts around others. Remember, guys are guys - they will act like guys around their friends, but when it comes to just the two of you talking, he will think before he speaks, tend to be nicer, and will find a way to make you laugh. Look for anything he does extra around you – whether it’s good or bad. Is he extra nice? Extra quiet? Extra nervous? Extra irritable? If he treats you differently than everyone else, he definitely has strong feelings of some sort for you. Does he get really quiet around you? His inability to talk might be nervousness: He's got a crush on you, and he's so afraid of saying something weird or stupid that he's told himself it's better just not to talk when you're around. . However, instead of looking for the usual flirting behavior (ex. getting near you, touching you, and other look-at-me body language), watch for signs that he’s uncomfortable around you. If he looks down, crosses his arms, avoids eye contact, or makes...

Summary in Russian:

Не спрашивайте его прямо о том, нравитесь ли вы ему. Не спрашивайте его друзей о том, нравитесь ли вы ему. Сравните его поведение по отношению к вам с поведением по отношению к другим людям. Читайте язык тела Попытайтесь поймать на себе его взгляд. Обратите внимание на то, как он разговаривает с вами. Понаблюдайте, дружен ли он с вашими друзьями.


Article in English: Confronting the person won’t work if you’re angry and aggressive.  If you feel upset or frazzled by a rude comment the person said to you, take a few deep breaths before approaching them. The more flustered you look, the less they will listen to what you have to say. Spend a moment thinking carefully about what you will say beforehand instead of impulsively yelling at the person. They will be less likely to argue back if you show that their rude comment has not fazed you. Being the bigger person means that you are confident and in control of your emotions. Don't engage them in any sort of physical fight or argument - this will also only worsen the situation. If you’re worried you might lash out, have a friend with you to keep you in check. Avoid beating around the bush or being passive-aggressive. Face them square on, make eye contact, and cut straight to chase about what it is they did that upset you. They can’t learn from their mistake if they don’t know what they did. If someone cuts in front of you in line at the grocery store, don’t let out a dramatic sigh and roll your eyes hoping that they will notice. Address them directly by saying, “Excuse me, but I think I was in front of you in line” or “I’m sorry, but the line starts back there.” If you feel uncomfortable directly calling someone out on their rudeness in a serious way, incorporate humor to diffuse the tension.  If someone is loudly munching on their sandwich and making a mess next to you on the subway, smile and casually say something like, “Wow, you’re really enjoying that, aren’t you?” with a laugh. If they don’t get the point, follow up with, “Would you mind chewing a little less loudly?” Make sure your humor is light-hearted and not passive-aggressive or sarcastic. Stay friendly and smile. You want your comment to come off as a joke that the both of you can laugh about, not a sassy comment that fires off an argument. The best way to fight rudeness is with kindness. Be the bigger person and don’t stoop down to their level by being rude in...

Article in English: Congested ears often result from sinus congestion, as your eustachian tubes run from the back of your nose to your middle ear. Since nasal decongestants relieve sinus congestion, they can also help unclog your ears.  You can find nasal decongestants over-the-counter. For some brands, you may need to ask for them at the pharmacy counter, but you don’t need a prescription. Stop taking the decongestants after 3 days, unless a doctor advises you to continue them. It’s best to talk to your doctor before taking decongestants, especially if you take other medications or have high blood pressure, glaucoma, or prostate problems. Similarly, you shouldn’t give decongestants to children. Nasal steroids can relieve the swelling inside your nasal passages, which causes congestion. This relieves both your nasal and ear congestion.  Don’t use steroids without talking to a doctor. You can find these products over-the-counter or by prescription. These are especially helpful for people who have allergies. Untreated allergies can cause ear congestion because they irritate your sinuses, resulting in nasal congestion. A daily antihistamine can help prevent this. There are several options available over-the-counter, including cetirizine (Zyrtec), loratadine (Claritin), and fexofenadine hydrochloride (Allegra).  Talk to your doctor before taking an antihistamine or if an OTC antihistamine isn’t working for you. When flying, you can take an antihistamine 1 hour before your flight to help prevent having pressure build up.  Read all instructions and precautions enclosed with the medication before taking it. You should start to feel more comfortable within a few hours of starting self-care. If you don’t, then you need to see a doctor. Congested ears can cause damage if left untreated. Additionally, you may have an infection.  See your doctor right away if you develop a fever or have any kind of discharge from your ear. Take all of the medication prescribed by your doctor, especially antibiotics. Otherwise, your symptoms may return. Your...

Article in English: Congratulations! You've differentiated your equation implicitly — not an easy task for first-timers! Using this equation to find the slope (dy/dx) for any (x, y) point is as simple as plugging in the x and y values for your point into the right side of the equation, then solving for (dy/dx). For example, let's say that we want to find the slope at the point (3, -4) for our example equation above. To do this, we would substitute 3 for x and -4 for y, solving as follows:  (dy/dx) = (-2y2 - 2x + 5)/(2(2xy + y + 4) (dy/dx) = (-2(-4)2 - 2(3) + 5)/(2(2(3)(-4) + (-4) + 4) (dy/dx) = (-2(16) - 6 + 5)/(2(2(3)(-4)) (dy/dx) = (-32) - 6 + 5)/(2(2(-12)) (dy/dx) = (-33)/(2(2(-12)) (dy/dx) = (-33)/(-48) = 3/48, or 0.6875. The chain rule is an important piece of knowledge to have when dealing with calculus problems (including implicit differentiation problems). The chain rule states that for a function F(x) which can be written as (f o g)(x), the derivative of F(x) is equal to f'(g(x))g'(x). For difficult implicit differentiation problems, this means that it's possible to differentiate different individual "pieces" of the equation, then piece together the result. As a simple example, let's say that we need to find the derivative of sin(3x2 + x) as part of a larger implicit differentiation problem for the equation sin(3x2 + x) + y3 = 0. If we think of sin(3x2 + x) as "f(x)" and 3x2 + x as "g(x)", we can find the differentiation as follows:  f'(g(x))g'(x) (sin(3x2 + x))' × (3x2 + x)' cos(3x2 + x) × (6x + 1) (6x + 1)cos(3x2 + x) Though it's not common in basic calculus, some advanced applications may require the implicit differentiation of more than two variables. For each extra variable, you'll need to find an extra derivative with respect to x. For instance, if you're working with x, y, and z, you'll need to find both (dz/dy) and (dz/dx). We can do this by differentiating the equation with respect x twice — the first time, we'll insert a (dz/dx) every time we differentiate a term with z, and the second time, we'll insert a...

Summary in Russian:

Подставьте значения (x,y), чтобы найти (dy/dx) для любой точки. Воспользуйтесь цепным правилом дифференцирования сложных функций: Если функция содержит переменные «х», «у», «z», найдите (dz/dx) и (dz/dy).


Article in English: Congratulations, you're pierced! Now you just need to take care of it properly. You should soak it in a solution of warm water and sea salt for the first couple weeks. When taking a shower, it is a good idea to use an anti-microbial soap just in case. Showers are fine, but try to avoid baths or swimming during the healing process since it is easier to get infections from sitting water. With genital piercings, you should not have sex for at least four weeks or so. You have an open wound on your penis, so keep that in mind. You are much more susceptible to STDs during the healing process, and having unprotected sex makes it much more likely to get an infection. So wear a condom every time for at least two months, whether you're in a committed relationship with other forms of birth control or not. This is for your safety. Also, remember you have metal down there, so it might not be a good idea to use "Shear" or "extra sensitive" condoms as they may break more easily. Enjoy your new piercing, and if you have any questions, ask your local piercer. They are more than happy to give you advice. They want everyone to be safe.

Article in English: Conjunctivitis can occur due to viruses, bacteria, and allergies. All types of pink eye cause the eyes to become red, watery, and itchy, but the other symptoms of pink eye will vary according to its cause.  Viral can affect one or both eyes, and individuals with this condition may experience sensitivity to light and watery discharge. Viral conjunctivitis is highly contagious and difficult to treat. It usually needs to run its course, which can take anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks. The best way to treat viral conjunctivitis is by preventing complications from arising. In severe cases, topical corticosteroids may be needed.  Bacterial conjunctivitis causes a sticky discharge, yellow or green, located in the corner of the eye. In extreme cases, the discharge can cause the eyes to stick together. One or both eyes can be affected, and bacterial conjunctivitis is contagious. Bacterial conjunctivitis is best treated by a doctor. You might be able to overcome the illness at home, but antibiotics will significantly shorten the duration. Allergic conjunctivitis is usually accompanied by other allergy symptoms, including a stuffy or runny nose, and both eyes will be affected. It is not contagious. Allergic conjunctivitis is usually treated at home, but patients with severe allergies may need professional medical treatment to clear the condition up quickly. It never hurts to call the doctor when you have pink eye, since your doctor will have good recommendations for what to do. A call is strongly recommended if the pink eye is accompanied by more worrisome symptoms.  Call the doctor if you experience moderate to severe pain in the eye or if you experience vision problems that do not clear up once the discharge is wiped away. If pink eye deepens in color to an intense red, you should seek medical help as soon as possible. Contact the doctor immediately if you suspect that you have a severe form of viral conjunctivitis, such as one caused by the herpes simplex virus, or if you are immunocompromised due to HIV infection or...
