Article in English: If you love him, you have probably shared your feelings and other personal information with him before. What settings worked best when you communicated this information. Was it over the phone or a text message? Was it during a romantic date night? Do you two prefer to have more casual, natural conversations?  There is no right or wrong way to tell him that you love him. You are less likely to scare him if you use a method that he is receptive to. If you are nervous about talking to him in person, consider giving him a card or a letter that expresses how you feel. This will also give him time to digest what you have said and think about his feelings for you. If you are nervous about telling him or worried that you may clam up during the conversation, this is a good way to tell him.  A card is really helpful if you do not know what to say. You can even choose a more humorous card to keep it light and still get your point across. You could also find a poem or song that says what you would like to say and rewrite it in your handwriting. Telling him face-to-face is the most romantic, yet nerve-racking way. Verbally expressing your true feelings forces you to be vulnerable. Your man may even be more attracted to you when you show him who you really are and how you really feel.  If you go this route, practice saying "I love you" out loud and in front of a mirror. You could also make a video that tells him how you feel. You can make sure that you tell him everything that you want to say without getting too nervous. If you mess up, you can always make another video. Love is more than a feeling. Your words and actions should match. Before you tell him that you love, your actions should already be saying that you do.   Do something nice like cook him is favorite meal or surprise him with tickets to a movie that he wanted to see. Be present during good and bad times. While it’s easy to be supportive during happy times, you can really show your love when he’s down in the dumps.  Whether he’s had a bad day at work or is...

Article in English: If you love non-fiction or books about love stories, look for books that focus on these interests. Selecting books in your favorite genre or that center around a topic you're interested in will make reading the book much easier and more enjoyable.  For example, sports lovers can look for books on football, sports car racing, or running. If you like medieval history, search for books in the historical fiction section that feature medieval characters. Do a search online to find great books about your desired topic. Visiting the library is a great way to find a broad range of books for free. You can ask a librarian for suggestions and check out books each week to read—just don't forget to return them by the due date. If you've never been to your local library, go in and sign up for a library card so that you can start checking out books. While you can always go to a bookstore and buy new books, purchasing them used will help you save money. Look up used book stores in your area, or visit a regular bookstore and shop in the sale section.  Stock up on books so that you'll always have one to read next. Ask an employee for good book recommendations if you're not sure which book to choose. Reading multiple books at one time will ensure that there's always something interesting to read. Sometimes you might want to read a different book depending on your mood, and by starting a few at once, you'll always have one that you're interested in.  If you get tired of reading a mystery, you can switch to a memoir, while a graphic novel might be a good choice for a before-bedtime book. Reading multiple books at once doesn't work for everyone, so if you'd rather read one book at a time, this is okay too. If you're reading a book for pleasure, you want it to be engaging and worth your time. Don't suffer through a book that you don't like just to finish it—give it a chance, and if you don't like it, switch to another book that you do like. If the book is part of an assignment and isn't optional, you'll have to power through it.

Выбирайте книги, которые вам интересны. Отправьтесь в местную библиотеку. Посетите букинистические магазины, чтобы найти хорошие варианты. Читайте вплоть до трех книг за раз, чтобы получать разные впечатления. Перестаньте читать книгу, если она вам неинтересна.


Article in English: If you love to talk and think all things food, find your bliss when shopping food and end up more often than not at the farmers market to do your food shopping, then you're the perfect candidate to start a cooking club.  If you love talking about food with others, and enjoy all the nuances and specifics about special food products, a cooking club will provide you with the outlet to share this love with people who have the exact same passion. No more need to talk endlessly about the intricacies of food to a bewildered spouse or family member; use the club to get this out of your system!     If your cookbook collection has its very own bookshelf and is bulging at the seams, it's time to get the books down and start cooking those recipes with fellow foodies!     Ask yourself what you want to get out of the club. Do you want to save money, make new friends, discover new cuisines, share recipes, etc.? You may have various motivators, and it's important to recognize these up front, so that you can begin tailoring the club toward this end and attract like-minded members.    A group of people who enjoy cooking is essential to creating a vibrant club. These people don’t have to be close pals of yours, or even of each other, when the club starts. Rather, they have to be willing to pitch in and share in the cooking, and be the type that would actually enjoy that. Five or six people is a good size, especially if you’re all trying to cook in one kitchen.  Advertise online for possible foodie club members. Use Facebook, Twitter, MeetUp and other resources to find people. Leave small advertisements on community bulletin boards, inviting people to come along to a first meeting. Ask foodie friends along and ask them to see if they know of anyone who might like to come along as well. When seeking members, think carefully about the criteria. You might want people with families, single people, people with a busy lifestyle, etc.––whatever matches your own needs is a good place to begin. Specify the parameters as part of your...

Article in English: If you made your own barrel as described above, there should already be two longer slats that can be used as roof supports. If you are using an existing barrel, select two long 2 x 4s (50 x 100 mm), and cut one end to a fencepost-like point, using 45º angles. The lumber should extend at least 2ft (0.6 m) above the lip of the well base, and may be significantly taller if you are using a heavy or tall barrel. Nail these roof supports at the base of the barrel and again near the lip, with the two supports at exactly opposite sides of the barrel. To make a small, peaked roof for your wishing well, begin by cutting four pieces of lumber to serve as the frame for the roof, using the same size lumber as formed the roof support. Cut one end of each piece to form a 45º slant, so two pieces can fit over each peaked roof support and slope downward. Drill holes and attach wood screws down through the frame and onto the support, from above. The length of the roof frame is up to you. Typically, a small roof is used, that does not extend past the edge of the well. Lay out 1 x 2 (25 x 50 mm) lumber rafters from one side of the frame to the other, using wood screws to attach them on each side. Choose between two styles of roof:  Flat roof: Work from the top downward. Place each rafter flush with the one above it. Overlapping roof: Work from the bottom upward, overlapping each rafter over the one beneath it. Plan the rafter placement in advance so the uppermost rafter meets the peak of the roof without having to be cut. Strengthen the roof and make it more attractive by adding a trim. Start by attaching a 1 x 4 (25 x 100 mm) across the open, triangular frame, at its lowest point. Use finishing nails and wood glue to make a strong bond, both to the roof support and to each end of the frame. Repeat on the opposite end, then connect them with another 1 x 4 (25 x 100 mm) just beneath the lowest rafter. . If you are keeping your wishing well outdoors, giving it a coat of paint will protect the wood from the weather. Use a clear...

Article in English: If you make a big batch, you can freeze it in a sealable container and thaw it out in batches as needed.  By making a large batch of shredded chicken at once, you will save time and effort breaking out and setting up your mixer every time you want a meal with shredded chicken. Remove the chicken in the amount you plan on using and let it thaw for a few hours before using. Dice a large onion into large chunks.  Sprinkle four pounds of chicken with one tablespoon of garlic herbal seasoning, or to taste.  Place the onion in the bottom of your slow cooker crock and put the chicken on top.  Set the cooker to high for two to three hours, or to low for four to five hours.  When the time is up, remove the chicken and serve your tender, flavorful shredded chicken with a side of steamed broccoli and rice. This recipe makes eight cups of shredded chicken. Mix one teaspoon soy sauce, one teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, ¾ teaspoons apple cider vinegar, ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, 1/8 teaspoon onion powder, 1/3 cup ketchup, and 1 teaspoon brown sugar together in a small mixing bowl.  Transfer the sauce to a medium skillet and add eight ounces of shredded chicken.  Heat on medium for three to four minutes, then reduce heat to the lowest setting.  Cover for 50-55 minutes, stirring occasionally. Toast some bread or sesame seed buns on a cast iron skillet.  Slather the buns with mayonnaise and scoop the BBQ chicken onto it.  Eat with a side of green beans and corn. Be careful not to overcook the chicken or it will dry out. Obtain some taco shells.  You can use either hard or soft shell.  Pour two teaspoons of vegetable oil in a small nonstick pan over medium heat.  Add a tablespoon of minced onion.  Sautee two minutes.  Then add one pound of shredded chicken, one pinch of cumin, one pinch of chili powder, and ¼ cup of tomato sauce.  Mix everything together and turn the heat up until the mixture boils. Then reduce the heat to low and let the mix simmer for about three minutes. Scoop some of the mix...

Article in English: If you make an effort to show you love once a day, whether with a good-night "I love you" or by simply putting his toothpaste on his brush for him, you'll keep the relationship strong for a long time. If you're worried about showing your affection, just think about finding one time a day where you can. Even an extra-long, passionate kiss is a great way to slow down time with your man for a half-second. Some people have a hard time saying the words "I love you." But that doesn't mean that they don't love their partner. If you're someone who struggles a bit with showing affection, try these little techniques to let someone know you care:  Hold or squeezing hands Make plans together for the future, even just future dates Introduce your friends and/or family Surprise him with kisses, hugs, and affection Give compliments, encouragement, and admiration. Do little favors for him, especially when he seems upset. It sounds paradoxical, but sometimes the best thing you can do is not see him at all. Remember -- you fell in love as separate people with separate lives -- you need to preserve some of this independence to stay happy and in love. Don't feel like you need to talk or check in constantly to show how much you care. Sometimes giving each other some free time is the best way to show you know and love someone. Do not avoid fights or issues just by saying "I love you," and accepting your concerns. The most in-love couples have arguments too, and you need to air them out openly and honestly to keep your love alive. So don't feel like you're destroying your love, or going back on your word, if you bring up a disagreement or issue -- you're just showing your love in another way. Don't ever let a partner get you to do something you don't want to to "prove your love." Love doesn't need to be proven. Everyone has different comfort levels when it comes to saying "I love you." There are those  that say it after every phone call and those that only save it for special moments, and there is everything in between. So don't...

If you're worried about showing your affection, just think about finding one time a day where you can. Even an extra-long, passionate kiss is a great way to slow down time with her for a half-second. Some people don't mind cuddling up any chance they get. Others prefer to save intimate moments for intimate times. Communication effectively is best way to show affection and express your love in a way everyone is comfortable with. That said, you should feel comfortable expressing your love in public in some capacity:  Hugging and/or kissing goodbye Holding hands Light joshing around, flirty pushing and shoving Telling her you love her around your friends or strangers. Complete one of her chores for her or scramble eggs for breakfast in bed on Sunday. When you show her that you're thinking of her when it's not a special occasion, she'll know that you love her without having to hear it.   This is especially important when she is stressed out. What can you take off her plate to make her life a little easier? Don't do these favors to get anything in return — just do them to make her a little happier and show your love. Take time and effort to splash some color into your life. This doesn't mean blowing your whole paycheck on her; it means setting aside time each week or day for couple time. When you set aside your schedule to be with her and spend some blissful hours together, the message is clear — you love her, and you're willing to express it.

Article in English: If you make your own ricotta, you'll need to drain the liquid away once the hot ricotta has sat for fifteen minutes. You may also use this method to transform moist, cream-cheese consistency ricotta into a ricotta with firmer curds for use in cooking. A fine mesh strainer may do the best job of draining thoroughly, but a colander will also work. Line the entire inside surface with cheesecloth, or another fine mesh cloth. Some people have even reported success with two layers of sturdy paper towels. You'll need a bowl to catch the draining moisture from the ricotta. Find a bowl or soup plate that the strainer can stand on, or rest the strainer on the lip of a tall bowl. Don't use a setup where the strainer mesh is touching the base of the bowl, since this will keep the ricotta sitting in its own moisture. Resist the temptation to pour or drop the ricotta in, since this will include all the liquid. Instead, spoon it in bit by bit, abandoning excess liquid at the bottom of the previous container. Use any clean cloth or paper towel to cover the ricotta, or a plate that fits inside the strainer. Don't use a plate that rests on the strainer's lip, since the ricotta will need to be compressed as described below. Compress the ricotta to help it drain by placing a heavy object on top of the cloth or plate resting on the ricotta. This could be a large can of food, a bag of stones, or any other reasonably clean object. If you cannot find anything suitable, press the ricotta down with a spoon for a minute or two instead. Common ricotta draining times used in recipes vary from one to eight hours. Instead of following a single recipe's instructions every time, use these suggestions to get ricotta of various consistencies depending on your preference and intended use. Keep in mind that the following times are guidelines only, and will vary with each batch of ricotta and with the size of the cheesecloth's mesh:  If eating plain, drain for five minutes to get a moist, spreadable ricotta, or until you reach a consistency you...

Article in English: If you make your schedule at the same time each day, planning will become part of your daily routine. Whether you review your task list when you drink your morning coffee or do it the night before, make planning out your schedule a daily ritual. You might find it helpful to plan out your week on Sunday night, then make adjustments and organize daily task lists each night or morning. Whether it’s a notebook, planner, or app, always keep your schedule handy. If you let it collect dust, you’re less likely to stick to your time management goals.  If you use an app, install it and sync your account on all the electronic devices you use. Try using a desktop or home screen widget to pin tasks to your electronic devices’ main displays. It’s also helpful to post a whiteboard or calendar in your work area with at-a-glance information, like key dates and weekly goals. As simple as it sounds, making a check next a completed task is super satisfying. Marking off a completed task can give you a sense of progress and help you keep a bird’s-eye view of your responsibilities. Don’t panic if you don’t complete all your tasks. If something slipped through the cracks today, revise your schedule and make it tomorrow’s priority. When you have something to look forward to, it’s easier to complete tasks, especially those that are tedious or boring. For example, if you have a full day of presentations, meetings, and deadlines, reward yourself with breaks, an ice cream cone, or another small treat. In addition to small rewards for completing individual tasks, give yourself a big treat after a productive day. Take a long, soothing bath, play video games, watch a movie, or do another activity that you most enjoy. If you’re prone to surfing the web or browsing social media, download an app like StayFocused or Focusbar. These apps block distracting websites during times that you’ve designated for work. It’s also helpful to keep your phone in your pocket or bag instead of on your desk. It’s there if you need it, but keeping it out of sight...

Article in English: If you manage to get an internship position, you should try to network and connect to as many individuals in the organization as possible. Make your presence known at the company or organization and show that you are willing to learn from more senior individuals. Being a good intern can show the organization that you may also be a good full time employee and you may be able to use your passion, charisma, and eagerness to learn to your advantage. It may also be useful to talk to your supervisor or boss at the end of your internship about possible part time or full time positions at the organization. Even a small part time role could lead to a more extensive position and help you get one step closer to your dream job. Before you send out resumes to potential employers, you should tailor your resume to reflect the educational requirements and skillset needed for your dream role. Doing this will show employers that you are aware of the requirements of the dream role and have considered what you as an employee can offer them. If your dream job is to be a dolphin trainer, for example, you should list any educational experience that relates to the role and any hands on experience you have working with animals, even if the animals are not dolphins. If you belong to a marine mammal trainer association, you should also make note of this to show employers that you are part of the community and are actively involved in the field. While you may not have all the educational requirements or the skills needed for the role, you can use your passion, drive, and eagerness to learn to show employers you are a good candidate for your dream job. Often, employers are looking for employees who will be motivated, self sufficient, and able to think of their feet. Demonstrating that you have these skills may help to make up for your lack of expertise or hands on experience, as passion and drive can often be more enticing to employers.

Article in English: If you mark your eggs when you boil them, you won't need to do the tests above to tell them apart from your raw eggs. One simple way to do this is to drop some loose onion skins into the boiling water with the eggs. The boiled eggs will come out a nice beige color. This makes them easy to tell apart from your raw eggs.   The more onion skins you use, the more noticeable the dying effect. If you can, use about 12 onions' worth of skins to get eggs with a deeply-dyed appearance. Skins from red onions also tend to dye the eggs more darkly than skins from white or yellow onions. Using food coloring or Easter dye kits makes it easy to keep track of which eggs are boiled. You can even color code your eggs: red for hard boiled, blue for soft boiled, etc.  If you're boiling the eggs in a small pot, you can add a few drops of food coloring and a few teaspoons of vinegar directly to the water as you boil. Otherwise, boil the eggs first, then soak them in a mixture of 1/2 cup boiling water, 1 teaspoon vinegar, and a few drops of food coloring afterward. This method isn't fancy, but it is quick and easy. Simply boil your eggs as normal, then remove them from the water and allow them to dry. When they are completely dry, mark them on the shell with a pencil or marker. For instance, you can try writing "B" for "boiled."  Don't worry — since you have to remove the shell to eat boiled eggs, this doesn't make your eggs unsafe to eat, even if you use ink.

Article in English: If you measured your shape or space in inches or were provided with units in inches, it's easy to convert them to feet. Keep in mind that inches are smaller units, so there will be fewer cubic feet than cubic inches. Simply take the volume in cubic inches and divide it by 1,728. For instance, if the volume is 6,912 cubic inches, divide 6,912 by 1,728, which is 4. So the volume is 4 cubic feet. If you took your measurements in yards instead of feet, all you need to do is multiply the volume by 27. Remember that yards are larger units than feet, so you'll have more cubic feet than cubic yards. For instance, if the volume of your shape or space is 1,000 cubic yards, multiply 1,000 by 27, which equals 27,000 cubic feet. Even though centimeters are metric units and feet are imperial units, you can still convert between the two. Centimeters are smaller units than feet, so you'll have more cubic centimeters than cubic feet. Start with the volume in cubic centimeters and divide it by 28,316.85. For example, if the volume of your shape or space is 500,000 cubic inches, divide 500,000 by 28,316.85. This is equal to 17.6573312356, which can be rounded to 17.66 cubic feet. Converting between metric units and imperial units isn't as hard as you might think. To change your measurement from the larger cubic meters to the smaller units of cubic feet, multiply by 35.31. For example, if your space or shape has a volume measurement of 450 cubic meters, multiply 450 by 35.31 for a result of 15,889.50 cubic feet.

Article in English: If you meet your carrier's requirements, they will typically provide you your unlock code for free. Usually you will need to have your phone completely paid off, and to have been with the carrier for at least three months.  Carriers may be more likely to unlock your phone if you explain to them that you are traveling abroad soon, and need to buy a SIM card at your destination for local service. If your provider does not supply the code, try one of the other methods in this guide. After receiving your unlock code, power down your S3 and remove your old SIM card. Insert the SIM card from the new network. When the S3 tries to connect to the new network, you will be prompted for the unlock code. Make sure that you enter the code exactly. If you enter the code wrong too many times, the phone will lock and you will need to get the carrier to unlock it for you. Once the code has been entered correctly, you will connect to your new network.

Article in English: If you move too fast you'll scare the bird. In general, you must move slowly around the bird if you want them to become tame enough to stop biting behavior. Do not place the cage in a high-traffic of your home, as too much commotion may be disturbing. If you quickly remove your hand from the cage when your bird bites, he or she may be getting just the reaction they are hoping for and continue the behavior. The bird may also be entertained by your reaction and continue the behavior for this reason. Be sure to remain calm if the bird bites—its bites are unlikely to break the skin, and they will probably not hurt that much. In response to biting behavior, simply say no firmly and cover the cage. The isolation this produces is not something the bird likes, so you will be discouraging biting behavior. It also calms the bird. The goal of proper interaction with your parakeet is essentially taming the bird. Talking softly around the bird helps it to feel calm around you, which can help with taming. Talking too loudly or shouting near the bird (not even necessarily to the bird) can scare it.

Article in English: If you must hide your relationship because of a difference in values -- whether religious or cultural -- seek the help of people who have been in similar situations. Bide time to help your parents and/or partner adjust to the situation. By surrounding yourself with caring and respectful people, you can rise above your parents’ closed-mindedness if they are unwilling to change. Assure your partner that they are cared for and that you don’t agree with your parents but don’t want to lose your relationship with them. Build his confidence that your parents' opinions won’t hurt your relationship. Let him know that he is more important than your parent’s approval and that the secrecy is temporary. You don’t need to put a time limit, but it can be expected that your partner may give you an ultimatum. No one wants to be in a relationship that their partner is ashamed to be in. Be prepared to choose between telling your parents or losing your partner. This isn’t about who is right or wrong, this is about how you define family and your own values. Everyone will have to learn to respect and accept one another if you want to have them in your life. Be strong in your own values and communicate respectfully that you are unwilling to compromise that. Hiding your relationship should not be permanent. It may take time for your parents to realize that only you know what’s best for you.  If it means losing your parents, that is for them to decide. Being true to yourself is what's most important for your mental, emotional and physical health.

Article in English: If you must sit at school and/or work, then move your legs and body about, but not constantly like a pendulum. Get up and go to the pencil sharpener, if possible. Step outside during your lunch break or walk to get a drink of water. If you want to get in shape but you’re too busy to hit the gym, you need to at least get yourself up and active. Walk. Park on the far side of the parking area. There are lots of ways to do such things, and they don’t need to be very time consuming or costly at all.  Make a point of taking the stairs rather than an elevator when going home or to work (split between stairs and elevator if you need to go up very high).

Article in English: If you must spend time with a person who repeatedly insults or teases you, come up with a plan for how you will address the situation. Thinking through ways you can respond and role-playing can help you handle the situation.  Practice role-playing with a trusted friend or family member. Try having your best friend say, “Anna, your haircut is really awful.” You can respond with, “Thank you for your opinion, but I like it and that is what matters.” If your boss is insulting you in a belittling way, come up with a plan. Try saying, “Bob, your teasing is unprofessional, hurtful, and is hindering my productivity. I will report it to human resources if it continues.” It’s important to stay calm when you are being teased or insulted, even if your instinct is to get angry or cry. People who tease and insult others are often looking for a reaction. Keep your cool and stay grounded. When someone insults you, try taking several deep breaths before responding to them. Be confident and clear with the aggressor about how his or her insults affect you. Use a firm, yet calm tone and explain why you are not okay with their teasing.  Try saying to a classmate who teases you about your shoes, “It makes me angry when you insult me in front of our classmates. So stop it.” If your co-workers are heckling you at work in a sexist way, try saying, “Your teasing and insults are bordering on sexual harassment. If this happens again I will report you immediately to our supervisor.” Sometimes the best response to an insult is to ignore it. You can pretend you didn’t hear it at all or change the subject to something completely off topic. Ignoring your aggressor’s teasing or insults instead of reacting will prevent fuel being added to the fire.  If you are insulted or teased online, don’t respond. If you are being insulted by a family member, try to ignore the insult and leave the room. Using humor to react to being teased or insulted is an effective response. Humor can diffuse a tense situation, disarm the aggressor, and even undermine...

Article in English: If you naturally have a really fast metabolism, eating three meals a day, no matter what’s in them, isn’t going to help you bulk up. Your body burns calories fast, so you need to feed it more than it can use up right away. That means eating not just when you’re hungry, but throughout the day. Aim to eat five meals a day to gain weight.  Don’t wait until your stomach starts to growl to eat. Plan out five meals so you never have time to get hungry. Eating this much can take a lot of effort, since you need to stock up on enough food to feed yourself more often. Pack calorie-rich snacks you can eat on the go, like bananas and peanut butter or dense granola bars. Eating five small, low-calorie meals isn’t going to cut it; they’ve got to be big and rich in calories. Load up on a restaurant-sized meal each time, with big portions of meat, vegetables, and a carbohydrate. Eating this much might not exactly feel comfortable, but it’s the best way to gain weight fast.  A large enough breakfast might consist of a three-egg omelet, two slices of bacon or sausage, a cup of roasted breakfast potatoes and a glass of orange juice. For lunch, try a fully dressed turkey club on whole wheat bread, two bananas, and a salad. Dinner could be a grilled steak, loaded baked potato and a few cups of grilled veggies. To gain healthy weight, eat food that’s nutrient-rich and nourishing. While you could easily gain weight by drinking sugary sodas and eating large pizzas every day, this can wreck your metabolism and cause you to gain fat instead of muscle. When you’re choosing food to eat, try the following:  Look for foods that are relatively unprocessed. For example, choose old-fashioned oatmeal instead of instant, and go for fresh chicken as opposed to processed lunch meat. Cook as many meals from scratch as you can. Avoid getting frozen dinners, fast food and snack foods, which contain a lot of salt, sugar and other fillers that aren’t nutritious. These are the three macronutrients that will help you gain weight, and you need plenty of...

Article in English: If you need a topic for a project, like an English project, but you don't know where to find one, ask your teacher for some ideas. She/He may be surprised to see that you are interested in doing your work. Go to the library, and research your topic. Find magazine articles, newspaper clippings,or how they dressed, what they imported/exported, and what were the most important things that happened during that time period. Find key information. If you have 1 month to do a book report, spend the next day getting books from the library, 1 week reading it, etc. It's a lot easier when you have a plan. Ask them to take you to Walmart, Longs Drugs, or any other store near you that sells tri-fold boards or big poster board. If you wait until the night before your project is due, you will be in trouble and you may not have enough time to do everything you need to. If you don't want to do your whole project in one day, make a plan to accomplish your goal of completing the project. If you get a Tri-Fold Board, put a time-line on one of the tri-fold parts, and on the other one, put the most important thing (if it's a company) they sell and (if it's a time period) how the people dressed and what music they listened to. If it's a person,artist, or band, put their music or any random fun facts about them the most important thing. The most important part is the essay. In your essay, you always need an introduction and thesis statement (main idea), 3 body paragraphs, a conclusion, a bibliography, and a reference page. In your introduction paragraph, you need to wake up your classmates when you read it. Start out with something that will catch their attention. For example: if it's on the atomic bombs, dress up as a mad scientist or the person who made them and act out what you say, jump around. You could start out with, Boom! (Jump towards the students) In (year A to year B) the Atomic Bomb was created! I, (whoever made the atom bomb), was (and so on). The reports can be really boring when you hear them so try to keep the...

Article in English: If you need an even arc over several heat of tubing as opposed to one bend, then a tube roller is going to produce much better results. You can find a tube roller at most hardware stores, and they’re actually going to be cheaper than pneumatic bending devices. As with tube benders, your tube roller may come with a set of dies, so you can fit the exact size of tube you need to roll without the risk of flattening it. A tube roller works by placing increased force on a piece of tubing, then rolling it back and forth over the force to create an even bend. Begin by placing the tube into the roller with the appropriately sized die holding it in place. With a tube roller, you will start at one end rather than in the middle. Most tube rollers will have a hex head bit, so you can use a regular wrench to increase the force in the vice. For basic tube roller models, the device will simply have a large wheel attached that your turn to feed the tube through and under the applied force. Turning the wheel will require a bit of strength, especially as you increase the force on the tube in later passes. Once you have passed the tube from one end to the other down the roller, you should increase the force in the vice by tightening the rod by approximately another quarter of a turn. The wheel on the roller allows you to turn either direction, so with more pressure on the tube, you’ll roller it back through in the opposite direction. Continue tightening the roller by a quarter turn after each pass through the device and rolling it again. After several passes, you’ll notice the nice, even arc forming on the tube. Continue rolling until you have the angle you need. If you have a template for the exact angle you need, you can hold it again the angle in the tube after each pass until you’ve achieved your desired result.

Article in English: If you need help, is your friend there for you? Or, does your friend make excuses, disappearing when it becomes convenient? Real friends will show up if you need a helping hand and will show up to celebrate with you afterward.  Real friends will help you move furniture, ride to the airport with you, and assist you with your homework. Avoid making too many demands of your friends. If you're in a constant need of help, it might be difficult for people to get close enough to you to consider you a friend. If you're good friends with someone, you'll remain friends with them, regardless of what your plans are. Hanging out together should be enough of a reason to have a good time, and being together should be its own reward. How does your friend react if you decide to change plans? If you were planning on heading out for the night, see if your friend would rather stay home and watch a movie by their self. If a friend declines your request, that doesn't automatically mean that you lost a friendship, but the way they react can tell you a lot about them. Does your friend react as if your plan is the lamest idea ever? That's a bad sign. Does your friend legitimately want to go to a movie and be a homebody? That's different. School friends or acquaintances aren't interested in helping you get through tough times. They're just interested in having friends who are convenient and simple fun on Friday nights. That's not to say that there's not a place for these kinds of friends, but if you're wondering who your true, good friends are, you need to open up and see how they react.  Tell your friend how you're feeling about a date, or about a situation with your family that's stressing you out. Don't expect answers, but if you don't get a sympathetic ear, or if your friend seems annoyed, that's not a great sign. This is different than gossip. Lots of people like to gossip. That doesn't make them good friends. While it's possible to have good friends that don't necessarily mesh with your parents and your siblings, if your friend...

Article in English: If you need more space in your suitcase and aren't worried about the weight, roll your clothes. This will take a lot less room than folded shirts and pants. If you do not need as much space and want to keep the weight down, fold your clothes. Folding is also generally better if you have clothes that are prone to wrinkling.  Roll items as tightly as possible in order to save the most space. You can even use rubber bands or hair ties to keep rolled clothes tight in your bag. Rolled items will need to be packed tightly to stay organized, which is why this method is best if you’re trying to fit a lot into a smaller bag. Packing cubes are smaller bags that you use to organize your suitcase. Depending on your needs, these can be organized by outfit, by weight, or by items. For example, you may have a heavy, midweight, and light cube, or you may have one for all your shirts, all your undergarments, etc.  Packing cubes are available from many department stores as well as major online retailers. You may be able to find some packing cubes that you can vacuum-seal. Be careful to account for space after you open the bags, though. Unless you will have access to vacuum to compress the bags again, the items will take up more space after the cube is open. Stuff your socks inside your shoes if there is no other room for them. Other small clothing items such as underwear are also easy to roll and place in your shoes. Small, fragile trinkets and souvenirs also work well in shoes, as the shoes offer extra padding and safety. Fit the underwear and socks down the sides and in the space between your clothing once the case is full. This will make sure that you don't use valuable space in the middle for smaller items.

Article in English: If you need or want a partner or loved one to do something, convey this kindly and directly. If you are vague or unclear, you are setting yourself up for disappointment and are likely to cause the other person to be frustrated. When you have a particularly important request, ask for a one-on-one meeting. This will help avoid confusion that can come when making requests in passing.  For example, if you want your partner to do something (e.g. drive the kids to school), state that clearly. Do not hint by saying, “Wow, it’s really stressful for me to take the kids to school before work. You work at home…” Instead say, “Mike, could you take the kids to school? It would help my commute considerably.” Remember that unless you are a manager, you likely cannot dictate to a person (especially your partner) what he must do. Instead say, “I’d love for you to clean the garage before Thanksgiving. How can we make that happen? Let’s look at our available weekends.” When setting expectations for children, it is often necessary to establish a routine. Having certain chores on the weekly schedule for particular days will help your child remember to do them. Consider making a checklist that people can mark when they have completed a task. For example, rather than telling your son to take the trash out generally, try saying, “Hey, Logan. Please take out the trash every Friday morning before school.” For children, offering small incentives and systems for accountability can help them fulfill expectations. After a child has completed a certain number of tasks or weeks, offer a small reward. You also can periodically reward your partner for fulfilling her or his commitments. You might reward a child's successful completion of monthly duties with a movie night. Although you might be used to expecting things from others, what do other people expect from you? Having conversations with your partner, children, or friends about their expectations will help you be a better person. Knowing the level of expectations people set for you also...

Article in English: If you need some space from your friend and are not comfortable talking with them about it, you may decide to opt for setting some of your own limits on how you spend time with them. Determine your comfort level and stick with it.  For example, you may decide that you are only comfortable seeing your friend when around other friends, or you may only want to talk to them in school. You could decide you want to avoid answering their calls or reading their texts. If your friend asks you why you're being distant, you could say, “I just need some space,” or “I've got a lot on my mind” and leave it at that. If your friend invites you somewhere, and you don't want to go, you could make an excuse to get out of the invitation. You could say you have a family commitment, too much homework, or are not feeling well, for example. However, keep in mind that this can get complicated, especially if you have some mutual friends. You will need to keep all of your excuses straight and this can get confusing.  If your friend says, “Hey, want to hang out this weekend?” you could say, “I'm pretty busy all weekend with work and family stuff.” Keep in mind that if your friend doesn't know you want to stop being friends with them, you may need to keep making excuses for a long time to not see them, and that can be draining, not to mention dishonest. You will eventually need to be direct with your friend and stop making excuses. Making excuses will only lead to stress, so it's important to only use this as a very short-term solution if you feel that it is necessary. Don't make up an excuse to get out of hanging out with your friend and then do something else instead. If you are saying you're sick, stay home. Don't show up at a friend's house an hour later. This makes you look dishonest to everyone. Ask your parents to “make” you stop hanging out with your friend. Have your parents help you put some distance between you and the friend. This may be easy if your parents do not like this friend.  You could tell your friend that your...

Article in English: If you need something ground into a paste or powder, this is the ideal tool. Items that are good to grind or crush in the mortar and pestle include peppercorns, spice seeds, herb seeds, fresh herb and spice leaves, rice, nuts, other plant seeds, hard candies, sea salt, and so on. Anything used for baking or eating that can be crushed is likely to work in the mortar and pestle. If you need something chopped, pureed, or blended, you may be better off with another tool, such as a blender or processor. The recipe will often be a guide on this. Measure out your whole peppercorns, cinnamon, or other ingredient and place it in the mortar. Fill the mortar no more than ⅓ full with raw spices; otherwise, it will be difficult to get an even grind. If you have too much to fit, it's fine to process the spices in batches. Hold the mortar in place with one hand, take the pestle in your opposite fist, and twist it against the ingredients in the mortar so that they are ground against its bottom and sides. Evenly grind, bash or crush all of the spices, using the pestle to mix and grind them until they are all reduced to the same consistency. Continue until the ingredients are as coarse or fine as you want. See below to learn specific techniques for grinding, crushing or bashing your ingredients. Each technique will result in a different consistency, and can affect the flavor and final outcome of your dish. You can either place the freshly ground contents of the mortar into a glass spice jar with a tight-fitting lid, or go ahead and measure out how much you need for your recipe.

Article in English: If you need to appear authoritative, choose formal business attire. Choose a color that flatters you and keep bold accessories to a minimum. Bring your visuals, your tablet or laptop and your speech copy. If you're in a small room, ask someone to stand at the back of the room and see if he or she can hear you. In a larger facility, practice using the microphone so that your speech is neither too faint nor distorted. Try to arrive at your presentation well before your audience. Take the time to make sure the sound is good and run through your visual aids. If you're at a conference, you may have 15-20 minutes to prep. If you're the sole speaker, you could get there an hour in advance. Make sure that the computer, projection screen and easels are functional and positioned so that they are visible to your audience. You should either place them on a table for audience members to retrieve or pass them out in an organized fashion. If your speech is lengthy, then you will need some water to moisten your throat. Check both the front and the back of your outfit and make sure that your hair is neat and that your makeup, if you're wearing any, is not smudged.

Article in English: If you need to block users on your network from accessing specific websites, you'll have much more success with OpenDNS than by blocking them on your router. This is because most home routers do not block https:// websites, and more and more websites are adopting encryption every day. OpenDNS can filter these encrypted sites for everyone on your network. You can sign up for free at opendns.com/home-internet-security/. You'll be setting your router to use OpenDNS's DNS servers, which will process your blocked sites. To do this, open the router's configuration page in your computer's web browser. Common router addresses include:  Linksys - http://192.168.1.1 D-Link/Netgear - http://192.168.0.1 Belkin - http://192.168.2.1 ASUS - http://192.168.50.1/ AT&T U-verse - http://192.168.1.254 Comcast - http://10.0.0.1 You'll be prompted to log in when you first open your router's configuration page. If you didn't change the login information, the username is usually "admin" and the password is usually "admin" or blank. You may find this in the "Basic Setup" section of the router. For many routers, you'll need to disable automatic DNS before you are able to enter in your own DNS servers. You'll see two DNS server fields. Enter each of the following DNS addresses, which point to the OpenDNS servers:  208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 Click the Save or Apply button and allow your router to reboot with the new DNS settings. This may take a minute or two. Visit opendns.com and log in with your new account. You'll be taken to the OpenDNS dashboard. You can see your home IP address at the very top of the dashboard page. Type this address into the "Add a network" field. This will allow OpenDNS to tell when traffic is coming from your network, and block sites accordingly. You'll need to confirm your network via an email message that is sent to the account you signed up for OpenDNS with. This will allow you to set what content is blocked on your network. You can choose between Low, Medium, and High security. This is great if there is...

Article in English: If you need to bottle feed your lamb, you likely found a lamb orphaned or had one of your ewes reject a lamb. You should take the lamb to the vet's first before attempting to treat the lamb yourself. The vet will be able to tell you exactly what the lamb needs in terms of care and help you find the proper milk and colostrum replacers to feed your lamb and assure she gets all the vitamins and minerals she needs. Colostrum is the first type of milk a ewe produces after giving birth. It's vital to the health and well-being of a lamb.  Colostrum is important because it contains high levels of nutrients and also protects against a variety of infectious agents. Lambs do not carry antibodies at birth, so they need colostrum to help them develop antibodies and combat potential infections.  Lambs should receive 10% of their body weight in colostrum after birth. That means a 10-pound lamb should consume 1 pound of colostrum during the first 24 hours of life. If your lamb has been abandoned or rejected by her mother, get her colostrum replacer as soon as possible. In fact, if you raise lambs, it's a good idea to have colostrum replacer on hand at all times in the event of an emergency.  Colostrum replacer should be sold at most places that sell livestock feed and equipment. Your lamb will need milk replacer for roughly the first 13 weeks of life.  Lamb milk replacer can also be purchased at a store that sells livestock feed. Once opened, keep it in a sealed gallon jar. Placing a few bay leaves on top of the jar can prevent insect infestations. Make sure the milk replacer is specifically for lambs. Do not try to substitute milk replacer with products for cows as these have different nutrients and vitamins and will not keep a lamb healthy. If you cannot find milk replacer or colostrum replacer, you can make your own at home. It's recommended you try to find store bought brands first, as they're more likely to have the proper nutrients, so only resort to homemade products as a last resort.  Colostrum replacer can be made...

Article in English: If you need to calculate the average from a lengthy list of ages, try putting them into Excel. Otherwise, if you sit there with a calculator or notepad and paper, it could take you a long time.  Let’s say for the sake of argument that you needed to calculate the average age of every student in a school or of every person on the payroll of a large company. Those are examples of lists where there would be so many ages that it would be beneficial to use a spreadsheet program like Excel. The first thing you need to do is put the ages in an Excel spreadsheet. Excel is widely available through Microsoft Office package. Either you will need to type the ages into Excel or, better yet, you can import another document containing the ages into Excel. Perhaps the ages are already organized in Excel. To import a text file into Excel, click on "get external data" and the text. Excel will walk you through a wizard to import that data into a spreadsheet Let’s say the ages are listed in column A in Excel. Let’s say they start at row 1 and stop at row 200 (columns are vertical in Excel, and rows are horizontal). To get the average, you need to input the Excel formula for average. You can type it at the bottom of column A.  The formula for average in Excel is =(AVERAGE)A1:A200. You need to substitute the column and row coordinates that house the first age in the column for A1. In this example, it would literally be A1, if the first age was listed in the first row in column A. You would need to substitute A200 for the column and row coordinates that house the last age in column A in your own data set. In this example, it was A200 because the last age is housed in column A, row 200. The colon in between tells the computer to add up the age in A1, in A200 and everything in between, and average them. Hit enter, and you should have the average. There are websites that will make it easier to calculate average. They provide online calculators in which you put the string of numbers. Of course, a pencil and paper or a regular calculator...

Article in English: If you need to call your boss to take off work, you need to sound the part to avoid suspicion.  Speak slightly slower. Pause occasionally for a second in the middle of your sentences. Don't be too quick to answer. Remember, you are sick and sluggish. Try to breathe through your mouth to sound like you have a stuffed up nose. Your boss might not care how you feel, but if you are going to get the rest of your coworkers sick that's another matter. Mention that you think you caught your illness from someone else. Explain that you are coughing or sneezing and your nose is running all over the place. Don't do this directly into the phone—you don't do that in real life, do you? Hold the phone a reasonable distance away from you and cough or sneeze loudly. Then apologize and continue the conversation. Pour one or two large glasses of water and make your call while sitting by the toilet. If you really need to sound sick, stop in the middle of talking to make a retching and gurgling noise and pour the glass of water. That should simulate the sounds of throwing up. One of the quickest ways to arouse suspicion is to ham it up. If you can just ask to take a sick day without giving too many details, you are less likely to get caught in your web of lies.

Article in English: If you need to communicate with your teenager, look for the right time. Pay attention to when your teen seems relaxed and receptive. Make a habit of talking regularly during those times to keep communication in your home open. It may take some trial and error to figure out when he is most talkative. He may be more quiet when you pick him up from soccer practice, but get chattier after dinner. Whether you're a parent or a teen yourself, remember teenage boys may be private about certain things. They may also be sensitive about some topics. Instead of asking questions directly, learn to ask open-ended questions. This will allow a teenage boy to share information at his own discretion.  Instead of asking, "Are you excited about the school dance?" try "How are you feeling about the dance? Do you think you feel comfortable going?" If he gives short responses, this may not be a subject he wishes to discuss. Try to find what he does enjoy talking about, like his hobbies and interests. yourself when necessary. If you are a teenage girl, it's important you stand up for yourself when necessary. If a teenage boy is frequently teasing you to the point you feel uncomfortable, it is within your right to let him know his behavior is not acceptable.  It is okay to express your emotions to boys. If a boy is making you feel uncomfortable, say so clearly. Say something if a boy is bothering you, such as, "I don't like it when you comment on my body. It makes me feel uncomfortable." If teasing doesn't stop, ask an adult for help. Teenagers may suffer from things like depression, anxiety, and other emotional issues. While a certain amount of mood swings are normal, if a teenager seems very unhappy or angry, you should seek the help of a therapist. Warning signs of a mental health issue include:  Difficulty concentrating A sudden drop in grades Weight loss or gain Lack of motivation Difficulty sleeping Fatigue

Article in English: If you need to cry on command, thinking of a time when you felt sad can help put you in the right frame of mind for tears. For example, it may  help to think back to the loss of a loved one or a particularly bad breakup. Other emotional triggers might include losing something special to you, getting in trouble with your parents, or missing out on something you worked really hard to achieve. Many people have fears that deep down they are not as strong as they like to believe. Picturing yourself as small and weak might put you in a vulnerable mindset that can lead to real tears.  Once you tap into that feeling, let the helpless feeling flow out of you in the fear of tears. For example, a common exercise in acting classes is to imagine yourself as a small child whom no one cares for. Sometimes, thinking back on a bad experience from the past can lead to real emotions that are hard to overcome. If this is the case, try to imagine something sad that could happen hypothetically rather than thinking of something personal. For instance, you could try thinking of puppies being left on the side of the road. You want to save them all, but you can only take one. As you're holding the one puppy you got to save, you look at all of the other puppies that aren't being held. Try imagining things that make your eyes fill up with happy tears, like a time someone gave you a meaningful gift, veterans being reunited with their families, or someone triumphing in the face of adversity. As long as you’re not smiling, no one will be able to tell if you’re crying happy or sad tears.

Article in English: If you need to exfoliate your scalp, try this scrub made with brown sugar, oatmeal, and condition. Make sure you wash your hair first.

Article in English: If you need to focus, it can be pretty hard to do that in the living room while your brother plays Xbox at full volume. Try to find a quiet place where you'll be able to study in peace and focus on what you need to do. If needed make some changes in the room.  Your room is often the best bet, but anywhere can work. Try to set aside a specific spot to do your homework every night, like the kitchen table or a desk in the living room. If you can't find a quiet place in your house, or you don't have your own room, try staying after school to finish your homework. Or head to the public library to study. Before you get started, make sure you gather all the right materials and utensils, gathering them neatly on your desk. If you have everything you'll need, you'll be able to concentrate on what you're doing, not where your protractor is, and where you need to find your notes. Tidiness is essential, so clean the clutter before you study. Bring a glass of water, or a healthy snack, so you won't find a reason to leave your work when you get a little craving. Keep your butt in the chair. Turn off the computer, Facebook, Twitter, or anything that will distract you. If you're trying to focus, get rid of everything except the assignment in front of you and anything directly related to that assignment. If you need your computer for finding information, then try concentrating on the information, not on anything else.  If you struggle with wanting to check your phone or your computer, put them in another room, or give them to your mom or roommate to watch over them. Only get them back when you're on break time. Some recent studies suggest that listening to soft, instrumental music can actually improve concentration when you're doing homework. It doesn't work for everyone, but experiment with music and see if it works for you.  Also make sure the place where you are studying is at a comfortable temperature. If the place you are at cannot have the temperature changed, make sure you brought something warm to keep you nice and...

Article in English: If you need to get out of the hotel, don't worry about your personal belongings. If you have your hotel keys and flashlight, you've got everything you need. Nothing else is important.  Material possessions are not worth sacrificing life and limb for. If no alarm has sounded, look for a fire alarm and sound it. If your room does not contain a fire alarm, don't move to the hallway just yet simply in order to sound it. As soon as you notice signs of fire (including the sound of your smoke detector or a fire alarm), try to stay low.  You may not immediately notice smoke, but even a small amount of toxic smoke can incapacitate you. It's best to stay low — smoke and heat rise, meaning it will be thicker further from the ground. Don't open the door without first feeling it. The back of your hand is very sensitive to heat, and by using it you also won't risk burning your palm or fingertips. If the door or doorknob is hot, the fire is probably right outside. If that's the case, don't open the door. Even if the door isn't hot, get ready to slam the door quickly shut if you need to. Open the door slowly, just a crack, with a steady hand. The pressure from the fire can force the door open if proper care isn't taken. If you are able to make a call, notify the front desk of your whereabouts. If you can't reach the front desk, try to call the fire department or call the local emergency number to let them know where you are. Hang a sheet or article of clothing out the window as a beacon to rescuers.

Article in English: If you need to get rid of smell and bacteria, turn to rubbing alcohol for your solution. If your shoes are sneakers or made of cloth, soak the shoes in a tub or large bowl of rubbing alcohol. If your shoes are made of more sensitive material, gently scrub them down with rubbing alcohol using a rag. Bleach is a powerful chemical, which makes it a great tool for disinfecting shoes. Unless your shoes are white, be careful to only spray bleach on the inside of your shoes, otherwise they could get bleach stains on the outside. Use a small spray bottle to spray bleach on the insides of your shoes to disinfect them. You can use an antibacterial spray, such as Lysol or Clorox, to disinfect the inside of your shoes. Spray the entire insides of your shoes, and allow your shoes to dry completely before putting them on. Using an antibacterial spray will disinfect your shoes and help eliminate bad odors.

Article in English: If you need to get your system clear of cocaine, stop using the drug right away. One-time users will have cocaine in their urine for at least 4-8 hours afterwards, but cocaine can still be detected for up to 4 days even after a single use. However, habitual users can show up positive on a drug test for up to a month. The sooner you stop using, the sooner you’ll be clean. ” Anyone who uses cocaine will likely have a comedown or “crash” after the initial effects of the drug wear off. This is your body rebalancing itself in terms of energy and mood. Expect to be tired and potentially depressed for a short time, even up to 2-3 days. The cocaine crash is not the same thing as withdrawal, though there are some overlapping symptoms. If you’ve been using cocaine regularly, you will probably experience symptoms of withdrawal when you remove it from your life. Tell yourself ahead of time that you will get through it, and prepare yourself mentally to experience any of the following:  Severe cravings Nausea and vomiting Paranoia, depression, or anxiety Mood swings or irritability Itching or a feeling that something is crawling on your skin Insomnia, sleeping too much, or vivid and distressing dreams Fatigue and exhaustion If you’ve been using cocaine for a long time or using it often, you may need to go through medically-supervised detoxification. There’s no drug that can remove cocaine from your system, but a medical professional can help you through withdrawal by giving you medications to counteract the withdrawal symptoms. If you need help, look online for a detox center near you.  Depending on your symptoms and how heavily you used cocaine, a detox program can last from 3 days to over a week. An inpatient rehabilitation program can last around 30 days. Outpatient detox can cost you between $1,000-1,500, whereas a full rehab program can cost up to $20,000. There’s no great way to flush your system of cocaine and its metabolites (what your body turns it into), so you may just have to wait it out. If so, know that how...

Article in English: If you need to have a conversation with someone over something serious, do so when you are both calm.  This will help ensure that you can have a reasonable conversation. Before delivering upsetting information, ease the mood with some positive feedback or news.  This will keep the other person calm and establish trust.  Perhaps you are declining a wedding invitation.  Instead of just replying “no,” send a card that says “Congrats on your upcoming wedding!  I know it will be a beautiful day.  Unfortunately, I have a work event, but I wish you nothing but the best and will mail my gift to you.” Be sure to do this when giving constructive criticism, as well. Before a major talk, consider the facts.  You don’t want to enter into conversation relying too much on emotion or opinion, but on reason and logic instead. During your talk, avoid blaming others or becoming defensive. You should not take things personally. Perhaps your office is undergoing a restructure.  Rather than going to your boss and saying “I don’t like these changes” say “With our department having increased our sales by double in the last quarter, making cuts here will severely affect our ability to make a profit.” Determine both your goal and the goals of others.   Think about what you desire to gain as well as what your counterpart wants and look for ways that these interests overlap. For instance, perhaps your spouse wants to move so the kids can go to a better school.  You might want to stay because it’s close to your office.  Consider private schools or moving just one town over. Once you have spoken about each of your objectives, find ways to negotiate.  Diplomacy often involves giving up some things so that you can have other things that you desire.  Be willing to do so for the sake of compromise and progress. Perhaps you are creating a chore list for you and your roommate.  You may not mind doing the dishes but hate working outdoors.  Perhaps your roommate has the opposite feeling.  Offer to take on dish duty in the place of yard work....

Article in English: If you need to ignore the noise the person is making, put on headphones and listen to music. Consider listening to soothing and calming music to destress. If you want to feel upbeat or positive, listen to lively and upbeat music. If they are really loud, find some noise-canceling headphones. Think about how you are going to physically ignore the person. For example, use separate bathrooms and avoid rooms they tend to be in. If they are watching television in the living room, spend time in your room and vice versa. For example, if your roommate takes over the space on a shelf, designate shelves for each person and make it clear that they are only to use their own shelves. If they tend to sleep in, get up early and go to work early. If they stay in on the weekends, go out. You can even make small adjustments to your schedule. For example, while the person is in the bathroom brushing their teeth, you can keep sleeping or eat breakfast. Learn the person’s schedule and try to avoid too much overlap, especially if you share a bedroom. Go to bed or wake up at different times. If you share similar schedules, make some adjustments, such as taking a morning run so that you’re awake and out of the house before you interact with them. One of the best ways to create distance between you and the person is to get out of the house more. Instead of coming straight home after school or work, stop and see a friend, take a walk in the park, do some shopping, or go to the gym. Spending less time at home can help you clear your head and can ensure that you won’t run into the other person.  Plan activities for after school or work for most nights of the week, especially if you know they will be home. This can help you keep a vibrant social life as a bonus! If you’re a student, find clubs or activities before or after school. Join a study group, play a sport, or find an extracurricular that you enjoy. Find other activities to do instead of what you do together.  For example, if you and the person tend to watch television together,...

Article in English: If you need to travel backward, make sure the vehicle is at a complete stop before changing gears in or out of "reverse." Slide the gear shift to select the gear marked "R" and check behind/ around you for any possible obstructions. Gently remove your foot from the brake and place it on the accelerator. When turning in Reverse, your car will turn in the same direction that you turn the wheel. You're just going backwards, so the end of the car will swing in that direction, rather than the front. " The "neutral" gear is only to be used when you have no need to control the speed of your car, not when driving regularly. Examples of this include when idling parked for a short time or when being pushed/towed. The gears marked "1," "2," and "3" are known as lower gears. These can work as a sort of in-engine brake system when you need to save your actual brakes. Going down steep hills is a good use of this technique. 1st gear, however, is only to be used when you must go very slowly. There is no need to stop when shifting between these gears and Drive.
