Article in English: . High blood pressure is one of the first major indicators of heart disease and stroke. If you have high blood pressure it is because the strain on your heart, arteries, and kidneys is unhealthy and likely caused by high cholesterol.  You can control your blood pressure by eating healthy, exercising regularly, reducing stress, staying fit, avoiding tobacco products, and limiting alcohol. It can be difficult to make lifestyle changes. Consider asking your regular physician for a referral to a therapist who can help you manage the transition. Most importantly, be aware that you have high blood pressure. There are few, if any, symptoms of high blood pressure, so it is your responsibility to get it checked. You get your blood pressure checked each time you visit the doctor's office but if you have issues with high blood pressure your doctor may recommend an at-home testing kit. High blood sugar could lead to complications related to diabetes. Diabetes is known to lower HDL (good) cholesterol and raise LDL (bad) cholesterol, increasing the risk for heart disease and stroke.  This condition is known as diabetic dyslipidemia. A side effect of this condition is atherosclerosis in which the arteries become clogged with cholesterol. If you have a family history or are at risk for diabetes, reduce your weight, eat healthy, and increase your physical activity. These actions can greatly reduce the progression of diabetes. Medication is also available if you have trouble controlling high blood glucose levels and to prevent heart attacks and strokes. An active lifestyle is not only rewarding but also helps to prevent many conditions associated with high cholesterol. Make an effort to participate in daily physical activity. It will maximize your health and increase the length and quality of your life.  Any exercise that makes your body warm enough to perspire, and breathe heavily is healthy for your heart and helps reduce cholesterol. Some options include walking, swimming, cycling, jogging, skiing, or climbing. Pick...

Article in English: . Holding grudges against your parent(s) or yourself is not a healthy way to repair a relationship. Therefore, it is helpful to forgive your parent(s) for any mistakes they made. You may also want to forgive yourself for how you reacted to those mistakes.  Keep in mind that forgiveness is not about the other person. It is important for your own emotional well-being. By forgiving your parent, you are choosing to let go of the anger you feel towards him or her, but you are not saying that what your parent has said or done to you is okay.  To forgive someone, you will need to make a conscious choice to let go of the anger that you feel. One way to do this is by writing a letter to your parent that you do not send. In the letter, express your feelings honestly about what happened, why it angered you, and why you think that your parent did these things.   Then, close your letter by writing something to the effect of, “I am not okay with what happened, but I am choosing to release my anger about it. I forgive you.” You can also say this out loud to yourself. You need to tell your parent(s) how you feel and why you became distant in the first place. There is no way for them to work on a problem that they are unaware exists. Do not be accusatory or disrespectful. Tell them how you feel, not what they’ve done. Rather than saying “You took away my rights as a person,” a more constructive thing to say might be “I felt as though I had no right to be my own person.” Once you begin to repair the relationship, you want to avoid backsliding into old habits. Decide ahead of time which decisions your parent(s) can weigh in on, and which ones they cannot. Also, boundaries should be set for which decisions you can weigh in on for your parent(s), or what things you can ask of them.  For example, you might decide that you might consult your parents about major career decisions, such as what college to attend or whether or not to take a job offer. However, you might leave them out of more personal decisions, such as who to date and...

Article in English: . Honesty is a key component of your character. Show others that you are honest by making your actions match your words. For example, if you tell your partner that you will be more supportive of their career, show them you mean it. You could make a point to ask them about a big project they're on or you could offer to take over dinner duty during a particularly busy time.  You can also become more honest by acting sincere. Don't feel that you always have to act a certain way. Give honest reactions. For example, you can say to your partner, "I'm sorry I wasn't more supportive earlier. I think it was because I just miss you when you're at work." . Self-awareness means paying getting to know yourself on a deeper level. By being self-aware, you can understand how your ideas and reactions are shaped. Getting a better sense of who you are can help you build your character. Set aside time to self-reflect each day. You can ask yourself questions such as, "Why did I react like that when Sue said that?" and "How could I improve my reaction the next time there is a conflict?"  Meditation is also a great way to gain self-awareness. You can learn to meditate by downloading an app, taking a class, or reading a book on meditation. You can also just sit quietly and see where your thoughts take you! Everyone makes mistakes, but how you handle them shows your character. Be honest when you've messed up, and do what you can to make amends for your actions. Depending on the situation, you may need to apologize. Other times, you may need to change your behavior or take action to make up for what you did.  Work with the person you harmed to come up with a solution. Consider ways that you could balance the situation. If you make a mistake or do harm to someone else, admit your mistake and make it right. You could say, "I'm sorry that I took credit for your idea. I'm going to tell everyone that you're the one who thought of it." There are lots of reasons to take risks, such as increasing your confidence and finding new ways to pursue...

Article in English: . Houses littered with dirt or candy wrappers will make a bad impression on your guests. Most people take pride in presenting a reasonably clean, polished exterior to the world. Show your guests that you are capable of basic household chores. Being a slob is evident outside the home. Still, this is a balancing act, because it is easy to come off as uptight. Try to find a compromise between obsessing over neatness and completely ignoring it. It’s no mystery why human beings developed hygienic daily routines. Practicing regular hygiene and grooming is important to your appearance as well as your mental and physical health. Hygienic routines are an effortless way to keep you looking clean – and those around you will appreciate your efforts.   Brush and floss your teeth. Adding flossing to your dental care routine will go a long way in keeping your teeth in tiptop shape. Put on deodorant before you leave the house. Bad body odor is a quick way to make a bad impression on the people around you. If you have extreme body odor, see a doctor for prescription deodorant.  Even if you wear your hair long, get regular haircuts. It doesn’t have to be often, but well-maintained hair will impress those around you.

Article in English: . Humans have a bad tendency of judging books by their covers. If something isn't pretty, it isn't good. That's obviously not how it works, but it's a natural go-to for most of us (it saves a lot of time and energy on thought). So save yourself the struggle and shower, brush your teeth, run a comb through your hair, and dress like you give half a ferret. The world will be a lot kinder to you and thus be more readily convinced of your innate loveliness! Choose a scent and stick to it. People will smell your loveliness from across the room. Mmm. Loveliness. If they wanted to capture it, they'd ask you to sweat into a bottle. Psych! The first step was just to ease you in to the process. Showering is all well and good, but it's probably not enough. Being clean is very, very important, but being lovely has a certain "put together-ness" about it. So slap on some lip gloss, some eyeliner, and turn that ponytail into a neat bun. You don't have to dress to the nines (sometimes that's just inappropriate), but do have a look that says "I didn't play Russian roulette with my closet today." Spend five minutes picking out your outfit. Give yourself a glance to see if your pieces fit together. If someone were to see you, what's the first impression they would get? . Being a klutz isn't something you can really help, but it's something you can consciously try to be aware of. If you keep good posture, your chin up and shoulders up (if you don't trip over yourself!), you'll move like Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly. The ultimate picture of class. . There is a certain aspect of loveliness that is very feminine. Very soft, very gentle. There is nothing loud, brash, excessive, or macho about being lovely. While everyone's version of femininity is different, play up whatever that word means to you. You can be feminine in an oversized plaid shirt and jeans. You can be feminine while you're bossing people around. You can be feminine rolling out of bed with no makeup on. It doesn't necessarily have to do with what you're wearing or...

Article in English: . Hydration is essential for healthy digestion, so be sure to drink lots of water throughout the day.  Keep in mind that alcohol and caffeine can actually cause dehydration, so drink them in moderation. You should drink water all day, but drinking during and right after you eat is especially helpful for digestion. . Fiber helps regulate your digestion, so it’s important to eat foods that are naturally fiber-rich, like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble, and they play very different roles in digestion.  Soluble fiber (found in oatmeal, nuts, beans, apples) absorbs water, while insoluble fiber (found in celery, whole wheat, the skins of fruit) does not. Increasing your soluble fiber intake can help with issues like diarrhea and can bulk up your stool; increasing your insoluble fiber can help with issues like constipation and hemorrhoids.  If you plan on adding more fiber into your diet, do so slowly. Adding a lot of fiber all at once can cause digestive issues like bloating and gas. While most whole grains are good for you, you should stay away from wheat products if you are gluten intolerant.  Cabbage is a fiber-rich food that is especially beneficial for digestion.  Our bodies can’t process all types of fiber easily. For example, corn contains cellulose, which is a type of fiber that is very difficult for the human body to process. If you eat corn, make sure to chew it thoroughly to help your body break it down better.  If you suffer from gas, you may actually want to consider temporarily reducing the amount of fiber in your diet. Do so slowly and pay attention to whether or not the change in diet has any effect on your digestive issues. You should then begin reintroducing fiber little by little. Leaner proteins, like chicken and fish, are much easier for your body to digest than fatty proteins, like beef. Some foods are just more difficult for your body to process, so it’s best to stay away from them as much as possible, especially if you have digestive...

Article in English: . Ideally, start this an hour in advance so you have time to get perfect roasting coals. There are three successful ingredients to a good campfire (plus a safe fire pit and a way to light it, of course):  A pile of dry tinder, such as paper, grass, dryer lint, or char cloth. If you didn't bring any and the weather is wet, collect pine cones or take shavings from inside a split log. Small twigs to use as kindling. Build it gradually outward and upward from small to large, leaving plenty of space for air. Dry branches about the size of your forearm, added gradually once the fire catches. These should be about as long as an adult's arm, sturdy, and pointed. Try one of these:  Metal stakes or kebab sticks. These can get too hot to touch, so choose ones that are extra-long or have a wooden handle Hardwood sticks, sap-free and whittled to a blunt point. Storebought marshmallow roasters Make sure the stick goes all the way through the marshmallow to prevent slipping. If the marshmallow can slide easily along the stick, you'll have to be careful not to tip the stick down into the fire. You can stack on several marshmallows at once, but it's easier to get a good toasted surface with just one at a time. Once your fire has been burning for a while, some of the wood will burn out and turn it glowing coals. A spot right above these coals is the perfect area to roast marshmallows. The heat from this makeshift oven will caramelize that sugar perfectly, and there are no gouts of fire to ruin the majestic white goo. Rotate the stick as you go so the heat toasts the marshmallow evenly on all sides. You'll see the outer surface turn brown as it cooks. You can either keep up a steady rotation until the marshmallow is light brown all over, or cook one side until it's done, then rotate and start again on another side. Sometimes, the marshmallow will sag down and fail to turn when you rotate the stick. Stab it or prop it up with a second stick to fix this. Sticking a marshmallow into the flame will cause it to catch fire. You can...

Article in English: . If it's been a while since you did long division with ordinary decimal (base ten) numbers, review the basics using the problem 172 ÷ 4. Otherwise, skip ahead to the next step to learn the same process in binary.  The dividend is divided by the divisor, and the answer is the quotient. Compare the divisor to the first digit in the dividend. If the divisor is the larger number, keep adding digits to the dividend until the divisor is the smaller number. (For example, if calculating 172 ÷ 4, we would compare 4 and 1, note that 4 > 1, and compare 4 to 17 instead.) Write the first digit of the quotient above the last dividend digit you were using in the comparison. Comparing 4 and 17, we see that 4 goes into 17 four times, so we write 4 as the first digit of our quotient, above the 7. Multiply and subtract to find the remainder. Multiply the quotient digit with the divisor, in this case 4 x 4 = 16. Write the 16 underneath the 17, then subtract 17 - 16 to find the remainder, 1. Repeat. Once again, we compare the divisor 4 with the next digit, 1, note that 4 > 1, and "bring down" the next digit of the dividend, to compare 4 with 12 instead. 4 goes into 12 three times with no remainder, so we write 3 as the next digit of the quotient. The answer is 43. Let's use the example 10101 ÷ 11. Write this as a long division problem, with the 10101 as the dividend and the 11 as the divisor. Leave space above to write the quotient, and below to write your calculations. This works just like a decimal long division problem, but it's actually quite a bit easier in binary. Either you can't divide the number by the divisor (0) or the divisor can go in one time (1): 11 > 1, so 11 can't "go into" 1. Write a 0 as the first digit of the quotient (above the first digit of the dividend). Here are the next couple steps to our example:  Bring down the next digit of the dividend. 11 > 10. Write a 0 in the quotient. Bring down the next digit. 11 < 101. Write a 1 in the quotient. As in decimal long division, we multiply the digit we just found...

Article in English: . If one thing gives macho guys a bad name, it's that they treat women poorly, talking down to them, objectifying them, and being rude in general. A macho guy treats all the women in his life respectfully. Learn to talk to women one-on-one, calmly and with courtesy. You don't have to put on a big show to attract women. It's a turn off and shows that you're just putting on an act. Remember: Be a man. Never cat-call or use pick-up lines to talk to women. You're better than that. and have a well-rounded diet. Some men think it's "cool" to only eat meat, and develop a dislike of green vegetables and other foods because they think it's non-masculine. Unfortunately for them, a diet that consists mostly of red meat and avoids green vegetables leads to things like prostate, stomach, and bowel cancer. There's nothing macho about having your prostate removed and becoming sexually impotent and incontinent. Being able to "hold your liquor" isn't a sign of masculinity, it's a sign of alcohol abuse. There's nothing wrong with enjoying a couple of drinks among friends--especially a straight bourbon, dark beer, or a Manhattan--but you need to know your limits and avoid pushing them as a way of showing off to your friends. It can lead to serious problems. This also goes for other self-destructive vices, like smoking and using other drugs. Abusing substances is a sign of insecurity, not a sign of manhood. There's nothing macho about speeding, cutting people off, or revving your engine at stop-lights. If you're a real man, you don't need to overcompensate by showing off in a big car. If you've got a jacked-up ride that you're really proud of, show it off to your friends in your driveway, or on open road, but don't show it off in the middle of traffic. Strangers on their morning commute don't care about your horsepower, and it won't make you look more macho to peel out from stoplights in front of them. . A macho guy doesn't need to be promiscuous to prove it. Practice safe sex and move at your own speed. Ignore guys who brag...

Article in English: . If people sense that you're speaking from the heart and that you believe and will stand behind your actions, words, and beliefs, you'll present yourself as a person to be respected. Learn to cultivate sincerity among your friends, at work, in school, and in all parts of your life. When you're among different crowds of people, act the same way you act when you're alone, or when you're with other groups. We've all experienced the social pressure to act a certain way, or seen a friend suddenly fawn over a successful business contact you were moments ago trash-talking in a private conversation. Be consistent in your personality, regardless of who's around. Many people wait to talk in conversations, rather than listening what the other person has to say. This can give off an unpleasantly self-centered vibe. We all have things we want to say, but learning to be a good listener will ultimately make people more interested in what you have to say. If you want to earn the respect of people you talk to, learn to listen actively and cultivate a reputation as a good listener.  Ask lots of questions. Even if you're talking to someone you know well, learn as much as you can by asking questions, follow up questions, and personal questions. People like to feel interesting when they're listened to. Showing a genuine interest in what other people have to say will earn you respect. Follow up specific questions like "How many siblings do you have?" with deeper questions that show you're interested. Ask, "What are they like?" Follow up on conversations. If someone recommends a book or album to you, shoot them a quick text when you've read a few chapters to let them know what you think of it. Raising up others can earn you respect, since it shifts your focus to the community rather than yourself. When the actions, ideas, or statements of a friend or colleague stand out to you as being particularly notable, compliment them with brief praise. Some people let jealousy fester when someone else meets success. If you want to earn...

Article in English: . If someone has a head injury, you should call 911 and have them checked out by medical professionals. Even minor concussions should be checked out by a doctor. If you choose not to call emergency services after a minor head wound, you still need to watch for severe symptoms. If you notice any of these symptoms, call 911 immediately:  Vomiting Having pupils of unequal size Being dizzy, confused, or agitated Being unconscious Seeming drowsy Having neck pain Having slurred or difficult speech Having trouble walking Having seizures After a head injury, check the person. Look for loss of consciousness first.  Then, check their  mental awareness. Don't move them unless it's absolutely necessary.  To check for mental awareness, ask the person their name, what day it is, how many fingers you're holding up, and if they remember what just happened. If they are unconscious, check their airways, breathing, and circulation to make sure they're breathing, and immediately call emergency services. After someone suffers a blow to the head, they need to rest. If the head wound isn't major, the person can sit up. Make sure they are in a comfortable position. Cover them with a blanket if one is available. If the head wound is severe, or you believe the person has neck or back damage, don't move them unless necessary. If the injury is not bleeding, apply ice to any swollen areas. Make sure not to put ice directly on the skin. Instead, place a cloth between the ice and the swollen area. You can use a bag of frozen vegetables if you don't have an ice pack or ice available. If the wound is bleeding, apply pressure to it to stop the bleeding. Use a towel, article of clothing, or other piece of cloth to staunch the bleeding. If at all possible, make sure the cloth is clean, but if you don't have access clean cloth, use the cleanest piece of cloth you can find. Don't press too hard; you want to stop the bleeding, but not cause any additional pain. Gently press the cloth to the wound.  If at all possible, keep your hands away from the...

Article in English: . If the tick is fastened to a person or a pet, detach it first. Grasp the tick's head with a pair of tweezers with pointy tips. Pull slowly upward, in a straight motion.  Tweezers with wide tips may crush the tick or squeeze out infectious germs. Never use your bare hands. If you must touch the tick, wear disposable gloves. Cover the tick with transparent tape on all sides. The tick will die on its own, and cannot get free. This is the best method to use, since the tick will be mostly undamaged. This makes it easy for a doctor to identify the tick, if you end up showing symptoms. You can use a sealed, clear container instead, such as a small zip-locked bag. Check for holes and make sure it is fully sealed. If you do not have tape, drop the tick into a container full of alcohol. It may take a while for the tick to die. Watch it or cover with a transparent lid to make sure it does not escape. Water will not kill the tick. If you don't have rubbing alcohol, try bleach or vinegar. Scrub with rubbing alcohol or an iodine scrub, if you have it. Use soapy water if not. This reduces the chance of an infection spreading. Tape the dead or trapped tick over an index card. On the card, write the date you found the tick, and locations it might have come from. Store it away from pets and children. Some ticks can spread diseases, especially deer ticks. Bring the victim and the tick to a doctor if the victim develops these symptoms within three months:  Fever or chills Headaches, muscle aches, or joint pain A rash, especially a large red "bulls eye" rash.  Swollen lymph nodes, usually in the armpit or groin

Article in English: . If the two of you have been flirting, then you should be able to tell. Look out for classic signs of attraction: laughter, touch, and eye contact. If she pays a lot of attention to you, and she seems to make a point of being around you, then there's a good chance that she's interested. Try not to make this assumption unless you're reasonably sure. It is good to be confident, but try to keep a level head about the situation. Make your move during a slow song at a dance, or when you see a shooting star. Wait for the end of a date, when you're saying your parting words. Kiss her after you make her laugh, or after you tell her that you like her. Imagine that you are in a movie. The "right moment" might feel like the scene when the hero kisses the girl. Don't build it up too much – but keep the ambiance in mind. If you are alone with her, and the mood is good, and you think that she wants you to kiss her, then there's a pretty good chance that the time is right. If you feel an overwhelming urge to kiss her: do it. There is no definitive "best" time to ask a girl for a kiss. You'll need to read the situation, be bold, and make your move. Seize the moment when it comes. It might be tempting to leap at the first chance that you get. Read the contextual clues, however, and consider whether there is any reason that it'd be inappropriate to ask her for a kiss right now. Don't force the situation. If you're going to ask a girl for a kiss, let the moment blossom naturally. It's better to wait than to kiss her at the wrong time. If she is sad, or angry, or otherwise bothered by something, a first kiss may not be the way to distract her. Kiss her when she's in a good mood and receptive to being kissed.

Article in English: . If there's just one skill you have, it should be public speaking. Your face, your voice, you is gonna be in the limelight at least until the election is over. People are going to be watching you and analyzing your every move. If you can convince them with your winning smile, calm demeanor, and persuasiveness that you're qualified for the job, it'll be smooth sailing. The most obvious examples are Barack Obama and JFK. When Barack steps up to the podium, his charisma just oozes out of him. His public speaking skills got him to where he is today. And then there's the famous JFK/Nixon debate, where JFK was so calm, cool, and collected that he made the nervous, twitchy Nixon look like a joke. So brush up! So while JFK schooled Nixon because of his charisma, it didn't hurt that he was 100x better looking and more put together. If you're gonna be in the public eye, you gotta look the part. That means ties, suits, and that wonderful pair of I'm-just-like-you khakis. And the shoes! Don't forget the shoes. You'll generally need two looks: the nice, fancy suit for your more formal functions and then the rolled-up Oxford and khakis when you're talking in the town hall. This goes for men and women, though a women's suit could either be a skirt or pants. If you expect people to vote for you, you gotta have your views and your views down pat. None of this wishy-washy flip-flopping -- or you'll be called on it faster than you can say "John Edwards." Hopefully you figured these out pre-campaign (though in the realm of politics, changes of heart aren't exactly uncommon). You'll probably be encouraged to align your views with the majority. There is no book that says you have to do this. Your team may want you to, but you don't have to do a damn thing. It can get you votes, but what's gonna happen when bill-passing time rolls around? Hope the Catholic guilt doesn't get to you? Once you're a politician, you're basically signing off on your privacy. You're the closest thing to a movie star there is. Your image will be plastered...

Article in English: . If there's one thing that's absolutely, positively, 100% crucial to a BLT, it's bacon. Delicious, delectable bacon. Turn a burner on your stove to medium heat and place a large or medium-sized frying pan on it. When the pan is hot (you'll know it's ready if water flicked on to immediately sizzles), add your bacon strips and let them begin to fry. Use tongs or a long fork to periodically turn your bacon strips as they cook to avoid burning. When they have achieved a pleasing brownish color, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. The entire process shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes or so.  While waiting for your bacon to cook, you can proceed to the next few steps to save time. Just keep an eye on your bacon to make sure it doesn't burn. As an alternative to frying, you can bake bacon by placing it in a shallow cooking pan and leaving it in an oven set to 375o F (190o C) for about 15 to 20 minutes. The "correct" crispiness of bacon is a subject of endless debate among bacon aficionados. Some people like their bacon soft and chewy, while others like it burnt to a crisp. Ultimately, it's up to you. The earlier you remove your bacon from the pan, the softer it will be. Next, take out two slices of bread and lay them flat on a clean, clear cutting board or work area. Spread mayonnaise (or a substitute like Miracle Whip) on one slice of bread. Then, spread mustard over the mayonnaise. Finally, add any optional spreads or condiments that you care for. For instance, some like to add a little "kick" to their BLTs with a splash of Tabasco sauce.  If you like, you can toast your bread to give your sandwich a crispy texture before applying your spreads. Obviously, if you don't care for mayonnaise or mustard, there's no need to add either to your sandwich. You may find that having at least one spread helps your sandwich "stick together", though it's certainly not necessary. Next, grab a tomato, turn it on its side, and make a few vertical cuts to produce several circular slices. Lay these evenly over your...

Note that all the addresses in the follow ranges: 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255, 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 & 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 have been set aside for exclusive use in a LAN; and one address in the range of any of them of them would be assigned to the connected router. Enter in the IP address of the router into the address bar and press Enter. Your browser will attempt to connect to the router’s configuration menu. If your router came with an installation disc, you can run the configuration program from that instead. It will accomplish many of the same functions. In order to access the configuration page, you will need to be on the router's IP address and enter a valid username and password at the prompt. Most routers have a basic account set up that you will need to use to log on. This varies from model to model, but should be printed on the router or in the documentation.  The most typical username is “admin”. The most typical passwords are “admin” and “password”. Many routers will only require a username and a blank password, and some allow you to leave all fields blank. If you can’t figure out the correct IP address, your username or password, search for your router model online to see what the default login is. If it has been changed, press the Reset button on the back of the router for 10 (to 30+ seconds as dictated in the instructions for the router model) to restore factory defaults and try again. When you log in to your router, you will be taken to the router’s main menu or status screen. There will be...

Article in English: . If wolves are prowling around your camp, light a smoky fire to keep them at bay. Use green leaves and damp wood to make as much smoke as possible. When you have some smoking embers, move them near a tree, or disperse them between several trees. Apply sap or resin to the branches, and light them. Try to waft the smoke downwind toward the wolves. Wolves dislike fire and smoke because it appears dangerous to them. If the wolves have pups around (which is likely in spring, when wolf pups are born), then the fire may cause them to move to another den site if the breeding female believes that that safety of her pups is being threatened. Use branches, stones, sharp sticks, and other solid objects to create a barrier around your site. If well-constructed, this may keep wolves from getting in – but don't forget that they'll still be able to smell you and hear you. Wolves howl to claim their territory,  and they may interpret the noise as you claiming your territory. If you are in a group, sing and shout together. Be as loud and fierce as possible. Avoid trying to imitate a wolf howl. This may draw the wolf to you. Lone wolves howl to locate the other members of their pack, and wolves have been known to come running when humans imitate wolf howls.

Article in English: . If you already have some extra cash on hand, you can earn even more by lending it out and charging interest on your loans. There are many companies, the largest of which are Prosper and Lending Club, that match prospective lenders with prospective borrowers. Although the industry has been shifting away from private investors, there are still opportunities to be had. If you wish to become a money lender, be sure to abide by any and all applicable laws in your area. Instead of letting the money you have languish in checking account (or under your mattress), put it into an interest-earning account, like a money-market account, a certificate of deposit (CD) account, or a 401k. These types of accounts pay a higher rate of interest than normal savings accounts. Ask a professional at your local bank for help placing money in these types of accounts. Note that these types of accounts may require a minimum balance to start generating interest. They also may require a long-term investment, during which time you will not be able to access your money without paying a penalty.

Stock trading is by no means risk-free, but if you're smart, careful, and a little lucky, you can stand to make lots of money on the stock market.

Article in English: . If you are concerned about your immediate safety, do not hesitate to call for help. When you call in, make sure you clearly describe where you are and what is happening. If possible, remain as calm as you can, and try to explain the kind of help you need. The more details you can give, the more quickly the dispatcher will be able to send help. Do not hang up until the dispatcher tells you to. Your first step to stopping a stalker is to accept that you are being stalked. Stalking is not a minor problem or a small irritant. It can be dangerous, and should not be tolerated.  Stalkers can be either men or women, and anyone can be a victim. If you are at all concerned about your ex and what he or she might do, it is not a sign of weakness to accept that. Only when doing that will you be able to stop it. Don’t worry about overreacting. If you feel scared, worried, or angered about someone else’s behavior, you don’t need to tolerate it. If you are concerned, act quickly. Recognizing his behavior will only confirm his belief that it is working, and will encourage further stalking behavior. This means ignoring gifts, calls, and any attempts he makes to contact you. Do not return them or respond in any way. You cannot reason with a stalker. This person has already decided that he will follow you, no matter what you say. This kind of reaction will only encourage him to continue trying, or to try even harder, to stay in touch with you. If you think you are being stalked, let others know. Tell your friends, family members, or other people you trust. That way, they can help keep an eye out for your stalker, and call the police if they think something is wrong.  When you tell others, be careful not to demonize your stalker. You only need to let others know about him, not tell them how terrible he is. Unless something dangerous has already happened, demonizing him can only help to escalate the situation with others. In addition to your circle of friends, consider talking to a group like HAVEN, which can provide support,...

Article in English: . If you are unfamiliar with pouring concrete, follow the linked instructions to ensure you do so correctly. Be ready to move on to the next steps as soon as you pour. Many modern concrete mixes do not need to be compressed, or "tamped", before finishing, and tamping the wrong mix can weaken the slab. Confirm your decision with a professional before tamping. If you do decide to tamp, simply press the concrete down using any variety of tamping tool (hand, rolling, etc.). Find the straightest lumber 2x4 you can find and place it across the barriers holding the concrete in place, or "forms". The 2x4 should extend at least a foot past the forms in each direction. This object is referred to as a screed board. Using the technique described below, move the 2x4 down the forms to remove excess concrete.  Use a sawing motion to pull and push the 2x4 across the concrete as you move it down the length of the forms. This sawing motion helps prevent tearing as you level the surface. Tilt the leading edge slightly away from the direction of travel to create a thin cutting edge where the screed board meets the concrete. Keep at least a 1 inch (2.5cm) hump of concrete in front of the edge at all times. This will fill any holes in the concrete's surface. Pour and level in stages for larger projects. At the end of the slab, push the excess concrete against the forms for easy removal with later tools.

Article in English: . If you cannot quite pinpoint what is causing you pain, suffering, confusion, or what is blocking you from letting go, spend some time writing about your experience and how you feel. You may realize that certain thoughts or beliefs keep you from letting go of something. You can also learn to identify and express your emotions through journaling.  Be completely honest in your journal and share your thoughts and feelings. Write about what might be stopping you from letting something go or what factors make it difficult. Don't be concerned about spelling, neatness, format, or even making sense. Start writing when you feel like it, and stop when you feel like you're done. Remember that you don't have to process everything in one sitting. You may work out your feelings over multiple entries over a period of time. . If you find your thoughts becoming negative or holding onto something, use mindfulness to help let them go. Sit down and ask yourself, “What is it that I’m feeling?” Notice your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. Notice these things without responding to them or interacting. After a minute or so, bring your awareness to your breath. Notice how it feels to bring air into your body and exhale it. Continue to let your entire body breathe and let whatever feelings come up be felt, but always return to your breath. Breathe through each experience.  If you get sidetracked in your own thoughts, always come back to your breath. Don't sabotage yourself by expecting meditation to come easily right away. Practicing mindfulness and meditation can be very difficult at first, but becomes easier the more you do it. Stick with it, even if you are initially frustrated by your drifting thoughts. Find an affirmation or mantra to repeat to yourself when you’re having problems letting go. This serves to remind you to avert your attention and accept that letting go is okay. Choose a mantra that resonates with you such as, “I surrender” or, “Letting go is okay.” When you start to feel stuck or uncomfortable in...

Article in English: . If you have a desire to reboot your life, it may be because you don't feel like you are living according to your principles. Values are the beliefs, opinions, and ideas that drive your decision-making and serve as a foundation for your life. To ensure that your life reset gets off on the right foot, figure out your values. Perform a self-assessment in order to pinpoint your personal values. Ask yourself:  What kind of things get you fired up talking about? What would you be willing to sacrifice your life for? If your home was on fire, assuming all living beings had been rescued, what three items would you want to take with you? What aspects of your community or the world would you like to change? To further direct your path, do a visualization exercise. Visualization can be a powerful tool to clarify our desires and move us closer to obtaining them.

Article in English: . If you have fractions with whole numbers, changing them into improper fractions will make it easier to add. The numerators of your improper fractions will be larger than their denominators. For example, 6 3/8 + 9 1/24 will turn into 51/8 + 217/24. If the denominators are different, you'll need to write down the multiples of each denominator so you can find 1 that they have in common. For example, for the problem 51/8 + 217/24, list the multiples of 8 and 24 to find 24. Because the multiples of 8 include 8, 16, 24, 32, and 48 and the multiples of 24 include 24, 48, and 72, 24 is the lowest common multiple. The denominators should all become the lowest common multiple that you found. Multiply the whole fraction by a number to make the denominator the lowest common multiple. For example, to make the denominator for 51/8 become 24, multiply the whole fraction by 3. You should get 153/24. If the other fractions in your equation have different denominators, you'll also have to multiply them so they have the same denominator. If the fraction already has that as the denominator, you don't need to adjust the fraction. For example, if you're working with 217/24, you won't need to adjust the fraction since it already has the same denominator. You can add the numerators once the denominators are the same or if there were the same from the start. Once you've added the numerators, put the answer over the denominator. Avoid adding the denominators. For example, 153/24 +217/24 = 370/24. . If your numerator of your answer is larger than the denominator, you'll have to divide it to get a whole number. To finish making a mixed number, write down how many parts you have leftover. This will make the numerator which you can put over the same denominator. Keep reducing the fraction down until it's in its simplest form. For example, 370/24 will become 15 10/24 because 24 goes into 370 15 times and has 10 parts of 24 left over. 10/24 can be further reduced to 5/12 for a finished answer of 15 5/12.

Article in English: . If you have people in your life who belittle you and put you down, your self-esteem is going to take a hit. It will be hard to lift yourself without some support in your corner. Cut negative friends out of your life and connect with people who accept and care about you.  If you don't feel you can cut this person out of your life, call him out on his negativity.

It's another thing you can add to your list of your positive qualities.

You may meet new people and you'll feel good about your new abilities. Take a walk, go for a swim, play basketball with your sister--when you start to feel depressed or down on yourself, decide to do something active instead. Exercising releases endorphins and neurotransmitters that can make you feel better. It can distract you from your negative thoughts and help you gain confidence.  Even less intense activities like gardening, yoga, or pushing a grocery cart around a store can help with depression.  Exercising can be a healthy way to cope with depression and negative thoughts. Don't use it to hide from or ignore your problems, but consider it a positive outlet for your feelings.  Try setting small, achievable goals, like to walk around the block three times a week.

Article in English: . If you have simply purchased shelled pine nuts, then you can skip this step. However, if you're looking to gather your own pine shells, then you should know that it's a lengthy process that can take months. Here's what you have to do:  For the gray pine, you should collect the cones in September or October and keep them in an airy, but dry place, such as a garage. The cones should still be tightly closed at this point. Wait for the cones to slowly open, revealing their nuts. Then, bang the cones around in a gunnysack until all of the nuts fall out. Alternately, you pick them out by hand, if you don't mind getting resinous pitch stuck to them. Toss out the winged part of the shell that connects the shell to the cone. Remove any nuts with holes in them; this means bugs have gotten to them. It's important to know which type of pine nut species you're dealing with. Pine nuts can have soft or hard shells, and hard-shelled nuts shouldn't be cracked with your teeth, or you could hurt yourself. Here are the main types of pine nut you need to know:   The New Mexico pinon pine nut. This is a buttery nut that is wild and hand harvested. These are the most valuable pine nut in the world and they have a hard shell that is too hard to crack with your fingers or teeth.  The Italian Stone pine.

The gray pine nut. Typically found in Northern California, these nuts have a bit of a softer shell.  The Nevada pine nut. These are sweeter, fruitier, larger, and easier to shell. Unshelled nuts have a long shelf life if they are kept refrigerated, so make sure you place them in the fridge if you don't plan on shelling them right away. However, once unshelled, your nuts may only last a few weeks, or even just a few days, without the...

If you're a fun person, you'll become magnetic, and more people will want to hang around you because it'll be a guaranteed good time.   Be adventurous.

Well, transfer your fear into positive energy, and you'll get more out of life. Don't be afraid to be goofy or just plain silly. You don't have to be an aloof model type to get a guy to fall in love with you. Show that you don't take yourself too seriously by wearing silly t-shirts, dressing up for theme parties, and even telling jokes that make people groan. Just look like you're having a good time. Be the person that everyone at the party gravitates toward by being animated, gesturing, and being excited whenever an old friend walks through the door. If you look like the most fun person in the room, your boy will notice you for sure. Your body language can be essential in grabbing your guy's attention.

Don't stare -- just make eye contact for long enough to get the guy's attention. You can also try raising your eyebrows at him for a quick second to get his attention.  Don't cross your arms over your chest. Keep them at your sides or use them to gesture. This will make you look open and approachable. Stand tall.

Article in English: . If you want a friendship to work out with this person, then you will need to identify what behaviors you will and will not tolerate. Then, make these boundaries known to the person. Make sure to be honest with yourself about what your boundaries are and be direct with the person when you communicate with them. For example, if you are not willing to tolerate mean comments from this person, then say something like, “If you make negative comments about my appearance, then I am going to leave and we can’t continue our conversation.” If the person violates the boundary, then make sure you follow through with your consequence. For example, if you have said you will leave if the person makes mean comments about your appearance, and they do so, then get up and leave! Make sure that the person knows that they have violated a boundary any time that they do so. It’s best to keep the “enemy” part of your friendship to yourself. It can be really tempting to share all of your negative thoughts with friends, but you don’t want to sink to your frenemy’s level. If the goal is to keep things running smoothly, gossiping will ruin that by stirring things up. This will also keep your frenemy from getting between you and your true friends. By observing the frenemy’s trash talking as well as your lack of it, your true friends will see you more clearly as the trustworthy one. Do your best not to react emotionally when facing a frustrating challenge involving your frenemy. Your frenemy will most likely find satisfaction in getting a rise out of you, so it’s best to keep a cool head and act like nothing’s bothering you. Turning the other cheek will also make you appear more kind to you and your frenemy’s mutual friends. Counter the negative things that your frenemy says and does to keep problems from developing.  If you know your frenemy always bails on the plans you make together, always have a back-up plan. If your frenemy has a passionate view of religion that you disagree with, consider steering clear of that subject while...

People gravitate toward people and are willing to be influenced by people who are positive and nurturing, not harsh and criticizing.  If you're going to criticize someone's work or offer suggestions or alternatives, start by praising something. Instead of launching into a critique, say, "That's a great thought, but what if we tried it a little differently…" Avoid conversation topics that involve complaining and criticizing. Talk about things you like, not things that bug you. People will be more attracted to spending time with someone who wants to have fun and talk about positive things. Influential people are those who know how to play to their own strengths. What is something that you do well? What do you do better than most people? Recognizing and emphasizing your strengths in your personal interactions is a great way of influencing others.  If you're a harsh critic of yourself, listen to what others say.

Article in English: . If you want to make your girlfriend want to have sex with you, then you should show her what an amazingly dependable guy you are. If your girl is going to trust you enough to have sex with you, whether it's her first time or if she's had sex before, then she has to feel like she can depend on you. One of her fears may be that as soon as you have sex, she won't be able to rely on you anymore because you would have gotten what you wanted. So, prove her wrong by being an upstanding and dependable guy.  Show up when you say you're going to show up. If you routinely pick her up half an hour late for your dates, she'll think that you don't think she's so special, and she'll be less likely to have sex with you. Don't be a flake. If you say you're going to take her to the beach over the weekend, do it. If you don't stick to your word, she won't be able to trust you. Be her rock. Let her talk to you about her problems and insecurities while knowing that you can make her feel better. Don't go hours or even a day or two without returning her phone calls or texts. This will make her feel like she can't depend on you. Some guys can be ready to have sex with a girl in the time it takes to down a beer, while some girls can take months, or even longer, to decide that they're ready to make love. And some girls -- sorry, gentlemen -- are really adamant about holding out for the one, and don't even want to have sex before marriage. So, don't rush into it -- wait for the girl to trust you first.  If your girl is barely comfortable with kissing, then you shouldn't bring up the "s-word" for a while. However, if you and your girlfriend are already comfortable hooking up in bed all the time after just a few weeks, then you can start thinking about taking it to the next level. If you want to make your girlfriend want to have sex with you, the worst thing you can do is bring it up or try to force it when it's way too early. This will turn your girlfriend off and will make her much less likely to sleep with you. Let's face it -- if...

Article in English: . If you want to make your life matter, you need to focus on meaningful accomplishments. Set goals for yourself, based on your passions and wants, and work towards these goals.  Set specific goals that push you towards meaningful pursuits. For example, don't set a goal like, "I'm going to protect the environment." Focus on the specifics on how you might do this. For example, "I'm going to use my bike more and recycle cans and bottles."  It's important that you set goals you can reasonably accomplish. Say animal rights are important to you. A goal could be, "Get my school's cafeteria to switch to cage-free meat and eggs." While this a big goal, there are ways you can go about doing this. You can make a petition, talk to your teachers or professors, raise public awareness by handing out flyers, and so on. Repeat your goals to yourself when you get discouraged. Read your lists of personal goals each morning if you're having an off week. This can help you remind yourself why your goals are important and push you to work harder.

Article in English: . If you want to write melodies well, it's a good idea to know at least the basics of how music works before you get too serious about composing. Of course, this isn't required. However, the more you understand about music, the easier it will be to understand when musical concepts are being explained. We will be using musical terms in this article because it is difficult to explain these ideas without them. Some will be explained but others are too complex to cover in a simple sentence. If you do not understand things like beats, measures, and time, you might want to do some reading first. The song form is sort of like a gender but for music. All music generally falls into a set shape, or form, which determines what parts sound like what other parts and when changes happen. You are probably most used to this concept in popular music, with the ideas of chorus and verse. Now, you don't have to follow these set forms, but it can help give you a road-map to work with when writing your melody.  The most common song form is called AABA. This means that there are two "verses", a "chorus", and then another "verse". In other words, a section that sounds one way, then another that sounds the same, then something different, then a return to the theme of the first section. There are many different forms however, so do some research to find which one is best for you. You can consider AAAA, ABCD, AABACA, etc. Or you can break from this entirely, of course. Some genres of music have a certain style to them and if you want to achieve that "sound", you'll need to write your melody in a particular way. Read up on the genre of music you're trying to write for before writing, to find out if there are any unique features of that genre in terms of the structure, key, or progressions. For example, the chord progression for blues and jazz follow particular forms. Jazz makes heavy use of particular chords, so you'll want to look up jazz chords before writing songs like that. No matter who is performing the piece of music you write,...

Get past the intimidation of the numbers and you'll find dozens, if not hundreds, of people that you get with and learn from. Many people look back on their college years with good memories, often because of the friendships that they made. . College events are lot different from the compulsory events you might have done in high school. Because no one is forced to participate, the people who are there enjoy being there on their own. It's no secret the real draw of clubs and events is the social aspect. You'll probably meet a lot of people with similar interests, a few people you don't get along with, and a few people with absolutely amazing backgrounds. C'est la vie: it's a cross-section of life. Take the time to do clubs and events outside your immediate social circle. It's fine to invite your best friends to participate in your club's activities.

Article in English: . If you're trying to be hard to pin down, nothing's more useful than cultivating a mysterious persona. Be a person of few words, but when you speak, make it count. Try to maintain a fairly deadpan personality, even when you're joking. Talk about things in broad strokes, but leave the details vague. Leave your motives up to others' imaginations. With luck (and a little practice), you'll leave others perplexed, but intrigued.   For example, let's compare a mysterious exchange to a non-mysterious one. Let's say an attractive person comes up to you and asks, "Hey, haven't I seen you at that bookstore around here?" An ordinary response might be, "Yeah! I go there every weekend. They have a great selection. What's your name?" This is a perfectly fine, friendly response, but we can be more mysterious if we say something like, "Mmm. Dostoevsky's brilliant, isn't he?" This makes your answer a little less cut-and-dry and gives your partner a few more follow-up questions. There are tons of resources online for how to be mysterious. Often, these are dating guides written for a male audience, but there are numerous resources for women as well. If no one's confident that they can predict what you're going to do next, they won't be able to define you or pin you down. Keep people on their toes by doing whatever strikes your fancy at any given time. Are you out on a date? Pop into a new hole-in-the-wall joint you've never been to. Are you stuck in an airport terminal? Take out your guitar and start a sing-along with the people around you. Starting to follow some of your wilder impulses can help you make yourself completely undefinable to other people.  With unpredictability comes risk, however. The hole-in-the-wall joint that you visit on a whim may end up being disgusting, while the people you try to get to join you in a sing-along may give you the cold shoulder. As we'll see below, keeping a cool head and remaining indifferent to others' opinions and expectations of you can help you deal with the occasional failure. When...

Article in English: . If you've found a guide to the spirit world or the center of your own consciousness after deep meditation and practice, you may want to find more direct and simple methods of communicating with that world, without meditating for hours or end and seeking them. The Ouija allows for quick communication and transmitting. This is also an excellent way of bringing other parties into your investigation, introducing them to your guide and allowing a mutual discourse to take place.   Meditate on your specific inquiry or question, articulating your intentions aloud and allowing your contact to get in touch. All parties should place their hands on the planchette at the center of the board, then allow it to move and spell out the answers to your questions. Over the centuries, experienced mediums have experimented with lots of different methods of communicating with their spirit guides by manipulating objects, including the use of crystals, rocks, smoke, and even bones. There are hundreds of different methods to choose from, and your spirit guide may even suggest a preferred method of communication.    Capnomancy refers to consulting the patterns of moving smoke to interpret the messages of the spirit world. Burn some sage or jasmine, laurel leaves, or sacred incense, depending on your tradition and interests, and observe the smoke as part of your meditations. Let symbols reveal themselves.  Sciomancy is the study of shadows and shades for symbols. Headless shadows are generally interpreted as ominous, though the spookiness shouldn't keep you away from this communication method. Make a candle a part of your meditation, and observe the shadows cast in the room on the walls, for symbols or messages to appear.  Scrying is the technical term for gazing into a crystal ball and looking for prophecies or symbols. You don't need to have an expensive ball of crystal to practicing scrying, however: it's also common to gaze into bowls of water, mirrors, or other reflective transparent surfaces.
