Article in English: A lot of narcissists play mind games that force you to constantly be on the defensive. The best way to deal with these games is to recognize the game and to stop playing. To deal with a narcissist, you have to keep your ego out of the running.  Get out of playing the "blame game." A narcissist cannot do any wrong in their own mind, which means they need someone to blame for any failures. Instead of trying to argue or explain how it's their fault, you have to set boundaries. Keep track of what they've been doing, so you can say (in a non-accusatory tone), "Hey Dan, here's the inventory count which shows we do need more paper." Narcissists tend to be really good liars. If you remember something very differently from them (especially if it puts them in a bad light) don't start doubting yourself. Don't try to argue it, however, unless you have absolute empirical evidence that you're right. Even then, a narcissist will manage to turn the whole thing around to reflect well on them. The most important thing to remember is to cultivate a non-responsive attitude towards them. If you have a narcissist in your life, there will be jabs, put-downs, and lies. Don't respond. It's like a game of catch, only you don't need to catch the ball and throw it back. In fact, let the ball (the insults, mind games, etc.) sail right on past. Since narcissists have large egos and think overly well of themselves, they will likely see you as someone who is, in some ways, inferior. You might be able to win the narcissist's favor on a short-term basis, but you should never expect to be able to satisfy or impress a narcissist in the long-term.  Be prepared to fall short in their estimation, often. You will never be able to live up to what they expect you to be, which is someone who devotes complete attention to them. Try not to take their criticism to heart. Remind yourself that it comes from a very off-balanced worldview. Likewise, don't try to argue your merits with the narcissist, because they will be unable to hear you. If they're...

Summary in Russian:

Не позволяйте человеку манипулировать вами. Помните, что вы не сможете порадовать нарцисса. Слушайте. Хвалите человека искренне. Улыбайтесь и кивайте. Убедите самовлюбленного человека, что вы хотите, чтобы он выиграл в ситуации. Критикуйте позитивно либо нейтрально.


Article in English: A lot of people act in ways that show disinterest and dislike without even realizing it. Figure out if there's anything that you do—or don't do—that may make you seem closed off, and try doing the opposite to look more open.  Are you shy and quiet? Unfortunately, shyness is often misinterpreted by others as arrogance. Try to turn this assumption around by talking to people more often. What's your body language like? Many people look closed off without meaning to be. When you cross your arms, fidget, slouch, avoid eye contact, or rarely smile, you look less approachable to other people. Sometimes people aren't open due to negative past experiences, chemical imbalances, or neurological disorders. While self-help may work for some issues, others require the help of professionals to resolve.  Depending on your problem, you may talk to a counselor, a therapist, your primary care physician, a psychiatrist, or some combination thereof. If you're having trouble opening up due to a fear of social situations, you may have social anxiety. Certain mental illnesses, neurodevelopmental disorders, and neuromuscular diseases can affect your ability to communicate nonverbally, making looking more open difficult.  Some people may have trouble opening up because of past trauma or a lack of ability to trust others. A professional counselor can help you work through these issues and regain your ability to trust, allowing you to be more open. You don't have to change the positive or neutral aspects of your personality just to be more open. If you're comfortable with yourself and have fulfilling interpersonal relationships, then you might already be an open person in your own way. There's nothing wrong with being who you are.  If you're introverted, don't try to be extroverted. Since many cultures are biased towards extroverts, it may be tempting to force yourself into a more extroverted persona. However, this can lead to burnout and unhappiness over time. Instead, find the right balance of social interaction that makes you happy...

Article in English: A lot of people associate nightmares with children, believing they are something you grow out of. However, it is not uncommon for adults and teens to experience nightmares as well.  In fact,1 in every 2 adults will experience nightmares now and again, while 2% to 8% of the adult population suffers from chronic or recurring nightmares.  Nightmares are characterized by vividly realistic images, thoughts and emotions which cause your heart to beat faster and sometimes even force you to wake from your sleep. Sometimes details of the nightmare will be remembered and the terrifying or disturbing images can be difficult to shake. As a result, nightmares affect the quality of sleep, leading to physical exhaustion and mental anxiety and stress. If your sleep is being interrupted by nightmares, it can cause issues in other areas of your life and even lead to long-term health problems. Therefore, it is important to understand the source of the nightmares and take steps to prevent them. Nightmares and night terrors are two different types of sleep disturbances which are sometimes confused.   Nightmares tend to occur during Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep, so you will usually experience them in the early hours of the morning. They are experienced as frightening or disturbing dreams which seem vividly real as they occur. The content of the dreams will vary from person to person, though adults often report having nightmares about being chased or falling from a height. People who have experienced a traumatic event tend to relive that event in their nightmare.  Night terrors occur during the deeper stages of sleep and so tend to occur in the first few hours of going to bed. They are experienced as an intense feeling of fear, which is not accompanied by dreams or images. It is often accompanied by movement (thrashing or sitting upright in bed) which may cause the person to wake up. Usually the person cannot remember why they were so frightened upon waking. Although nightmares in adults often happen spontaneously with no serious...

Article in English: A lot of people assume you need the latest trends to be fashionable, but this doesn't necessarily have to be true. If you mix a plain white t-shirt with denim jeans one day and a black pencil skirt another, you've got two outfits right there made with a minimum of items. Practice organizing your clothes into different looks when you've got free-time. Spend some quality mirror time trying on different things together and experimenting to see what you looks right. Something might be fashionable in general, but it's not right for you and your body type. That's ok. It's important to figure out not only what's stylish and what's "in," but what's going to look good on you. It's good to spend time in front of mirror discovering the perfect combination of items for you. Find out the clothes which defines your body shape best and will help accent your best features. To be a fashionista you need to be confident. The number one rule in fashion is to wear what you want to wear, so always wear what you want and choose items that will help you feel comfortable and radiant.  Hold your head up high and improve that posture. People started to notice that you're dressed nice if you're walking with your head up. Be proud and get noticed. Don't wear something just because it's "fashionable," or because someone recommended it. Fashion changes. If you used to love wearing blazers a year ago, but now you want to try leather jackets, go for it. Life is short and a fashionista should always wears what she wants. Although runway fashion can be very over-the-top and glamorous, sometimes less is more. You don't need to wear a fancy dress to school to be a fashionista. Just be yourself and find clothing that you feel represent you, and make you feel beautiful and confident. Try and separate runway fashion from everyday fashion. The designers of those elaborate garments are mostly wearing normal everyday clothes, just like you. Keep that in mind. Fashionistas need to mimic the beauty your fashions exudes on the outside by being beautiful...

Article in English: A lot of people believe that mixing things up all the time makes a great relationship. In other words, he or she is always planning something new to surprise the other. Although surprises are nice from time to time, stability and uniformity are far more important in a relationship. Uniformity sounds boring, but you need to be predictable to make things work in the long run. Predictability builds trust. Trust is just another way of saying you can rely on someone. You trust your partner to do certain things no matter what at all times. This trust builds security in a relationship. Make sure your partner can count on you. If you say you’re going to be home by 5 p.m., then make sure you are or at least let the other person know if something else comes up. The most important factor here is consistency. If 4 out of 5 times, you never bother calling and just come home as late as you want, then that’s a strong indicator that your needs matter more to you than your partner. A happy, successful relationship is when both parties make an effort at keeping up their end of the bargain. Your partner can read your face better than anyone else. If you are lying or trying to hide some true feeling by not quite saying all that is on your mind, he or she will be able to tell. The person might even think you’re cheating. When the person knows he or she can trust whatever comes out of your mouth without hesitation, then you are building an unshakable bond. Don't keep anything hidden, nothing should be privileged from the other. You have to know that sooner or later all things come to light, and the consequences of not being completely truthful will kill the trust and ruin your relationship. Too many people never let their partners know what they need. Don't let your partner wonder, or try to guess what he or she should do for you. It is essential this happens with both partners. If only one partner is being catered to by the other, there is a chance one will feel smothered or the other might feel neglected. Either scenario is not...

Article in English: A lot of people choose to apply lemon juice overnight, incorporating it into their nightly face-washing routine. If you don't want to leave the lemon juice on overnight, try applying it right after you wash your face in the morning. Make sure your face is completely dry and moisturized before proceeding. Leave the Q-tip in the lemon wedge for a couple seconds for good measure. You should feel a bit of tingling on your skin, but it shouldn't hurt. Re-saturate the Q-tip in the lemon wedge as necessary. Only target your problem areas. How long you choose to leave the lemon juice on your skin probably depends on two things — whether you're targeting scars or acne, and how sensitive your skin is:   Scars or acne? If you're trying to treat scars only, you have a little bit more leeway, because you're using the lemon juice to lighten skin, not heal acne. In this case, you can afford to leave it on for several hours to overnight. If you're treating acne, try leaving it on for less time.  Sensitive skin or not? People with sensitive skin have a harder time leaving lemon juice on for longer periods. If your skin is very sensitive, reddens easily, or generally doesn't behave, stick with a couple hours at first before experimenting with longer durations. Apply the lemon juice every 1 - 3 days for a period of several weeks for best results. If lemon juice doesn't work, try seeing a dermatologist or consult other sources on treating acne fast and naturally.

Article in English: A lot of people do not realize running takes dedication and consistency if significant progress is to be expected. In other words, if someone really wants to be a runner, he or she must carve out at least 3 days a week (4 to 6 would be much better) if one expects to run comfortably for 20 minutes or more for cardiovascular fitness, personal satisfaction, or even competition. Someone with no running or sports background cannot expect to run 10Ks or half or full marathons on just a few week's training unless he or she doesn't care how it feels the next day. If you really want to be a good runner, the best way to improve is to steadily work toward your goals, never taking more than a few days off.  If you tell yourself you’re going to run four days a week, 30 minutes a day, make a commitment to do it no matter what. Rain or shine, good mood or bad one, your mission is to get up and run. Slowly but surely, you’ll become a better runner.  It helps to have a set time for running that works with your schedule. Consider doing it before work, so you’ll have it done before your day really gets underway. Or if you want a great way to relax in the evening, schedule in running before dinner. Plan to run under any circumstances. Say it’s spring break, and you've got a week off of work. You might be tempted to leave your running shoes in the closet, but you’ll feel a lot better at the end of the week if you stick to your schedule. Take your running shoes along, even if you’re going away on vacation. You’ll never finish a run and think to yourself, “I wish I hadn't done that.” If you get upset with yourself because you aren't making as much progress as you wanted to, or you’re finding it hard to stay motivated, realize that there’s no reason to condemn yourself. Every day gives you the opportunity to make a fresh start, to get out there again and try a little harder. The more energy you put into becoming a better runner, the better you’ll get. No matter where you’re starting, whether you can run for five minutes or 10 miles...

Article in English: A lot of people make the mistake of buying a property in a market which they know nothing about and which, at the end of the day, they end up not really caring for. Even if you plan on using the second home as an investment and renting it out, it should ultimately be a place where you could see yourself living, if only for a few weeks in the year. Rent for at least a little while in the area to make sure you're comfortable living there. Find out what the locals like about the area; where they think it's heading; how long they've lived there, etc. Locals can give you great insight into how an area is doing. Use this information to determine whether buying a property in the area is a sound long-term investment. Become a local yourself (while you rent for a spell) so that you can investigate some factors that will increase the value of your potential home:  Proximity to good schools Reliable and extensive transportation options Shopping options Proximity to hospitals, as well as police and fire presence Low crime Comps, or comparable home prices, should give you a good idea about how expensive the average home is in your area. You may talk directly to real estate agents for comp data. The key to comps is looking at sale prices instead of listing prices. Use comps as a rough guide — just because the 4 bed, 3 bath down the street sold for $575,000 doesn't mean the 4 bed, 3 bath you're interested in will. If you want to use your second home to rent out and build equity, it's necessary to know what's expected of you. Don't put yourself under legal fire by being lazy or willfully ignorant — it will come back to bite you. Here are just a few things you should start researching as a prospective landlord:  Know how to evict a tenant or terminate a lease. Learn your state's laws about security deposits, what they can — cleaning, unpaid rent, excessive damage — and can't — appliance upgrades, normal wear and tear, refurbishing — be used for.  Know how to structure the rental application and tenant screening processes....

Article in English: A lot of people make the mistake of piling on all the accessories they own at once. When it comes to accessories, less is usually more. If you're wearing jewelry, a watch, a scarf, a hat and sunglasses, no one piece will stand out, and your outfit will end up looking cluttered. Choose a few accessories that accent your outfit or highlight the feature you want to play up.  Wearing a full jewelry getup, complete with earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings, can overwhelm your look. Try wearing either earrings or a necklace instead of both, and limiting how many rings you wear at once. If you do wear a lot of different accessories, make sure they aren't competing for attention. Match your metals and colors so that your accessories look like they were chosen with intention. For example, you could wear big gold hoops, a colorful warm-toned scarf, and a gold watch for a streamlined look. Neutral clothing can be completely transformed when you add a few bold accessories. If your wardrobe has a lot of neutrals like black, white, beige, olive or navy, accessorizing gives you a chance to play with fun colors and give your outfits a boost. The best thing about neutrals is that they look great with most other colors, so you don't have to worry too much about making sure your accessories match your clothes. Here are a few ways to use bold accessories to add some life to your neutral outfits:  Pair a thin red or hot pink belt with a black or navy dress. Wear a splashy orange or yellow scarf or shoes with khaki or olive-colored clothing. Freshen up your white blouse with a multicolored statement necklace or big drop earrings. It might be tempting to play off the blue polka dots in your dress with matching blue earrings, a blue necklace and blue shoes. However, matching to this extent can sometimes look a little old-fashioned or childish. Throwing some unexpected, yet surprisingly perfect accessories into the mix shows off your creativity and adds interest to the outfit.  Use the  color wheel to help you come up with...

Article in English: A lot of people use black seed oil to treat inflammation, but for some, direct application can irritate skin further. Instead, dilute it in water first. This is done by adding about ten drops of oil into 8 ounces (230 g) of water. You’ll also end up using less of the oil, so one bottle can provide continual treatment for longer. For any swollen or red area, treat it with diluted oil. Once you have mixed the oil into a bowl of warm water, dip a cotton ball into it. Dab it on the irritation gently. For extra effect, you can hold the cotton ball in place or dip the irritated area in the water for five minutes. Spraying your body with the water and oil mixture may also relieve fever. Fill a pot with 2 US quarts (1,900 ml) of water and add about ten drops of black seed oil to it. Let the water boil. As you wait, you can place a clean, warm towel over your face to open up your pores. Stay near the pot for five minutes, but don’t lean over it, since the steam could burn you. For toothaches and headaches, you can rub the oil into the painful area. Get a drop or two of oil on your finger or a cotton ball. Dab the oil onto your aching tooth or massage it into your temples. With any luck, the pain will abate. Try adding a few drops of oil to a cloth. Throughout the day, smell it. If you have a vaporizer on hand, you can also add a few drops to it and breathe in the oil’s aroma. Black seed oil users claim that this aroma relaxes your muscles, preventing headaches or asthma attacks.

Article in English: A lot of people will dismiss challenges that come before them. They'll convince themselves that the problem is smaller than it really is or that it doesn't exist in the first place. You need to recognize when you start thinking this way because it's true what they say: the first step in overcoming a problem is admitting that you have one. This isn't a fun part of the equation. Accepting that this challenge is real and that you're going to have to deal with it can be really scary. If you're scared of what this challenge can mean for you, just remember: so far in life, you've met every challenge that's come before you and made it out okay. There's no reason to think that this is any different. It's important, with any challenge that you end up facing, to start doing something about the problem as soon as you possibly can. Each moment of inaction becomes an action in itself. By doing nothing, you're still doing something. And that something probably isn't helping the situation. Problems usually multiply when left to themselves, like rabbits. The sooner you start facing the challenge, the easier it will be to overcome. So, you're ready to start tackling this challenge? Great! The best place to start is by evaluating the facts. What do you really know about what's going on? Are you sure you understand the situation? Don't just deal with what you think the problem is; the real issue might be something you didn't even realize was a problem. Take some time to make sure that you understand the situation as fully as possible.  This usually means that you're going to have to talk to people, although who will depend on your situation. Are you having problems with school? Talk to your teacher. Problems at work? Talk to your boss or a coworker. Problems in your relationship? Talk to your partner. Problems with your health? Talk to your doctor. You get the idea. It can help to make a list. A challenge is rarely one single task or problem, but is instead made up of lots of different parts.

Article in English: A lot of stress caused by the fear of speaking in public, whether for a presentation or at a social gathering can be derived from not knowing who you’re speaking to. You wonder if you’re saying the right thing. If your point is getting across. If you sound intelligent enough.  Before engaging in any form of public speaking, learn about your audience. If you are giving a presentation you should be able to do this easily. Think about why you are speaking and where you are speaking. Then go through a checklist. Try to be able to answer as to the size of the audience, age, gender, education (experience and socioeconomic level), religion, friendliness, and if the audience knows about you. You can remember this as an acronym, SAGE RFK.   Being able to fill in those blanks will help you form a speech that you will feel comfortable giving. The type of audience will affect how you speak. If you have the chance, interview 3-7 people from the audience. Find out their challenges so you can create teaching points. Ask about their successes so you can highlight them. Doing so will help you build support and trust from the audience during your speech. Negative thoughts associated with the task of public speaking can hinder your ability to present the amazing speech and knowledge you have inside you. Instead of letting negative thoughts prevail, turn those thoughts into positive ones.  Visualize yourself speaking confidently and the audience responding positively to your speech. Imagine audience members benefiting from your speech, and tell yourself that you are in the right place at the right time. If you feel nervous or scared you probably also have nervous thoughts about what might go wrong. Having such thoughts will alter your voice and your body language negatively. Instead of harboring bad feelings and letting negative thoughts fester, remember to think positively. Positive thoughts will make you excited, allow you to relax, and give you confidence. Instead of thinking about how you wish you didn’t have to speak,...

Article in English: A lot of students think that they are only eligible for funding when they initially apply for admission. This is a mistake! There are often new scholarship opportunities for upperclassmen, though they aren't always widely advertised. You may also be able to apply for external scholarships or grants, which are offered from groups outside of your school.  Begin by scoping out bulletin boards on campus and paying careful attention to email announcements. You can also search online for new funding opportunities, and there are apps that you can download for free (or for very little, such as the app Scholly, available for just $.99) that can help you tailor your search. One of the best ways to learn a subject is to teach it. By becoming a tutor, you can hone your own knowledge of your field of study, perform a valuable service to others, and earn some needed cash—it's a win-win scenario for everyone involved!  You can often get paid through your school to tutor other students in classes you have completed and done well in, or you can advertise your own services to your fellow classmates. To find tutoring opportunities, meet with your advisor or your professors, or go to the campus tutoring center. You are hopefully already taking careful, thorough notes in your classes for your own benefit. Why not make your efforts pay out double?  It's fairly common for students who need special arrangements because of learning disabilities to be assigned a (usually anonymous) note-taker for their classes. These positions are usually compensated—you can often make up to $10 an hour for every hour of class.You'll take careful notes, type them up, and email or drop them off at disability services, where they will be passed on to the students who need them. Once a fellow students' needs are documented, disability services will contact the professors and ask for volunteers in the class to take notes, and your professor will in turn email the class. You can also upload your notes to a platform like Stuvia, where you can earn money by...

Article in English: A lot of the fun of King's cup comes from the "house rules" that have grown around it. Every game is different, and comparing games or playing with new people often leads to new and exciting rule changes. The following steps give 1-2 variations on each card, but you can mix and match them however you want. Aces are generally big rules, and often require the most drinking.   Ace is for race. If a player draws an ace, they must pick another player and race them to the end of their cup. Both players must finish their entire drink.  Ace slap your face. If a player draws an ace, everyone at the table has to slap their face. Last one to do so takes a drink. Two is almost always "you," meaning you point someone out and they must take a drink. But there are some variations.  2 means shuffle. If a player draws a 2, everyone at the table has to switch seats with someone else. Last one seated drinks. In nearly every variation, 3 is me. But you can also use it as a "direction shifter." If a player draws a 3, the direction of play is switched from clockwise to counter-clockwise. Four is sometimes used for "women must drink," thanks to a rhyme with a certain nightly profession.  4 is for dinosaur. If a player draws a 4, they have permission to use a permanent marker to draw a dinosaur on the face of another player. There are a lot of variations on 5, including:   5 is for jive. As soon as someone pulls a 5, everyone must start dancing. The last person to bust a move drinks.  5 is for dive. If a player draws a 5, everyone must dive under the table. Last one to do so must take a drink. Six is often used to mean, "guys must drink," thanks to a rhyming similarity between "six" and some common male slang.  6 is for thumb master. If a player draws a 6, they become thumb master. Every time they put their thumb on the table, all the other players must do so too. The last one drinks. This can happen at any point in the game until someone else draws a 6. Seven is another card with a lot of variety, depending on who you're playing...

Article in English: A lot of the skills necessary to improve your reading speed will not come naturally to you, so you will need to practice them everyday until they become second nature. Even 15 to 20 minutes of practice per day  can make a huge difference to your overall pace.  Improving your reading speed will take time, as you are learning how to read in a whole new way. Remember it took you years to learn how to read well as a child, so be patient with yourself this time round. A good way to track your progress is to time yourself on a regular basis. Set a timer and count how many words you read per minute. The more you practice, the higher this number should become. When you are training yourself to read faster, it's a good idea to start with easier material -- something that you enjoy or gain immediate value from -- until your abilities improve.  Something like a travel book or memoir of famous figure, for example, might be a good option. Starting with something very dense -- like a physics textbook -- can throw you off and make the whole process seem more daunting. Once your skills improve and you learn what to look for in a text, you will find yourself much better equipped to deal with longer, more complex material. By this time, you will have developed a good grasp of which techniques work best for you and learn to recognize which parts of a text are most important. It's a good idea to use your finger, a pen or an index card to mark your place on the page as you read. And while using a pointer prevents you from losing your place and having to make regressions, this is not the only benefit.  By moving the pointer quickly across each line and down the page you can set the pace you wish to read at, as your eyes will be forced to keep up. Think of your eyes like a magnet that's attracted to the pointer on the page -- wherever it goes, your eyes will follow! Your brain needs some time to sink into the rhythm of reading, especially if you’re coming from another activity that’s more active. Encourage yourself to read for at...

Article in English: A lot of the things mentioned in this tutorial revolve around trust. If you don't trust your partner, you're probably living in a pretty miserable place. Learn to trust your spouse in the same way that you want them to trust in you. Marriage is an enduring opportunity to get to know somebody better and better over many, many years. If you keep an aspect of your personality secret or just closed off, you're probably not getting all that you want out of your marriage. It really does go to show: you get what you give. Have long conversations; make them laugh; share interests, hobbies and occupations; take them somewhere that has personal significance to you; encourage them to get to know your extended family (and do the same for theirs); engage in debate; share fears, doubts, and vulnerabilities; be who you are, not who you think they want you to be. The golden rule is not only important to our idea of morality, it also helps us navigate the sometimes stormy waters of a marriage. The golden rule is that you do unto others as you would have them do to you. All this means is "put yourself in their shoes" before you act. Of course, you need to have the right sort of perspective if you're going to use the golden rule, and you can't lie to yourself about what other people want. If you're unsure about something, ask yourself "What would I want to happen if I were in my partner's position?" This is generally a good exercise for you to engage in. Draw on your faith for strength, and actively seek meaning with your partner on your life's journey. Give yourself to your spouse as much as you give to your god. Maintain your values throughout. Of course, the most important for last: practice good hygiene, look sharp as a tac — inside and outside of the house — and make sure you keep up the same general level of cleanliness that your spouse does. If you care about how well your spouse dresses and how often they brush their teeth, they're sure to care about the same things. And that's the way it should be between two people...

Article in English: A lot of the time squinting is caused by the amount of light we are taking in. If you are able, adjust the brightness settings of available light sources. For example, change the type of bulb in your office or home to a lower wattage.  It may be difficult to change the lighting in your office so it is best to consult your immediate supervisor or the Human Resources Department before attempting to make any changes yourself. If you are squinting when reading an electronic device, check the settings if it is possible to adjust the brightness settings. For example, televisions and mobile phones can easily be adjusted within the settings menu. The most common reason for squinting is due to the brightness of the sunshine. If you are squinting outside on a bright sunny day, a pair of quality sunglasses may solve or reduce the problem.  Research what brands offer as some brands focus on fashion while others on function.  Make sure the glasses block at least 99% of ultraviolet (UV) rays. Budget how much you are willing to spend on sunglasses as some can reach upwards of $500. If you are liable to lose them, think about choosing a pair of sunglasses that fit within your means. If you are more active, choose a pair of sunglasses that won't fly off your face easily. You can also purchase accessories to keep them in place or to turn your everyday glasses into sunglasses by simply clipping onto the frame. The brim of a hat or visor provides temporary shade by cutting the amount of light entering into your eyes. Choose a hat or visor that's comfortable and suits your style. A baggy hat may fly off when windy; in contrast, a hat that is too small may cut off circulation and cause you discomfort.  Many hats can be adjusted or come in different sizes. Make sure you choose one right for your head shape. Some athletic hats are made of breathable material that wicks sweat away from the body, which may be a wise choice for humid climates or if you are prone to sweating a lot. Many individuals who play sports outdoors or under...

Article in English: A lot of the time we can get so caught up in working to improve the globe as a whole that we forget there are lots of things that we can do every day at home that have a positive impact too. One of the best things you can do easily and every day is to treat others how you want to be treated. Do something nice for someone as often as you can. This can be small things like making someone a birthday present, or big things like driving someone around until they get their car fixed. When we work together, everything runs more smoothly and we're better able to further invest those gains in benefiting the rest of the globe. Set a good example for your friends and family members, and educate them on the issues so that they can make good decisions too. Help them to understand why these things are important, so that they're also motivated to change their lives. By changing a few minds you can double, triple, or even more greatly increase your positive impact on the world. Almost any job that you get can have a positive impact on your community. You'll be providing a service to people who want it and adding to the economy in your immediate area, improving the lot of everyone around you. It will also give you money that you can use to donate to charity or fund small business loans! When we're surrounded by people who are negative and mean, it makes us sad and pessimistic, making it much harder to get through the other difficulties in life. Let your attitude show everyone that a smile and hopeful attitude can really improve the day of everyone around you. By finding the upsides in tough situations and working hard to fix problems, you can positively impact the people you come into contact with. We have lots of opportunities to be nice and helpful to other people every day. Many times we don't take the opportunity because we think we're too busy or someone else will help. If you want to make the world around you better, just do the right thing and help, instead of thinking that it's someone else's problem.  For example, if...

Article in English: A lot of the time, guys are reluctant to date because they worry that they'll lose their freedom or their identity because this is something that our society tends to teach. Show him he doesn't have to worry about that with you by helping him to feel free. Encourage and help him to pursue his dreams, help him set up fun activities with his friends, don't hog his free time, etc. When we look for someone that we really want to get serious with, we're looking for someone who makes our life better, right? So of course your guy is looking for someone who makes his life (not necessarily exciting) but at least fun. Be the source of fun in his life. Go on fun dates, encourage him to try new things, and join in and encourage his passions in life. One real turn off for guys is the drama queen. You know the girl who constantly gossips, starts arguments and fights with other people, and generally complains and looks for flaws in everything? Don't be that. Stay away from drama and definitely try to minimize the drama that he's exposed to. Having an actual problem that he can help with is one thing, picking a fight with him about something petty is another thing altogether. Guys like to feel useful. They like to feel like they're your hero....so make them feel like they are! Let him help you with things from time to time. Ask for and take his advice with real or even just minor problems. He'll love the place that he has in your life because it will give him a sense of purpose that he might not feel anywhere or with anyone else. You should be passionate in your relationship of course, but you should also be passionate in your day-to-day life. Find enjoyment in what you do and pursue things that are important to you. Enthusiasm and joy in life are catching, and we tend to look for and stay with people who help us feel those feelings, so be that person for him by loving your own life.

Помогите парню почувствовать себя свободным. Излучайте веселье! Держитесь подальше от излишнего драматизма и эмоциональности. Дайте ему возможность почувствовать себя героем. Будьте страстной натурой. Будьте собой.


Article in English: A lot of the time, your worries will revolve around whether or not you can successfully do something. Despite some things being largely up to the winds of chance (as mentioned above), you can compensate nicely by undertaking other endeavors on your own. Pick anything you've always wanted to do, want to do better, or want to start doing again, and give it a shot.  Remember, there's nothing to lose from trying something for your own enjoyment. Therefore, there's no good reason to worry about how well you'll do. Just compete against yourself and do your best not to worry what others might think. Keep trying and working on things that interest you. You'll succeed more often than you might think, and begin to worry a lot less as you realize that 75% of success is just getting out there and trying. People who seem successful and happy are people just like you, except that they never let their worries stop them from giving things another shot. The things you try don't have to be flashy, or significant to anyone except you. You could take up a new hobby, such as knitting or martial arts, or you could just make a commitment to smile more often at work. The goals you set are yours to attempt and achieve. Pursue anything you've ever wanted to pursue. You'll be delighted with the results more often than not. Don't obsess about the future; instead, focus on living in the present. It's fine to plan ahead sensibly and set goals, but the important thing is living your life as it is now, and not worry about what is already past or what the distant future might hold.  Practice self-acceptance. As mentioned previously, excessive self-criticism is a major source of worry. A part of us listens to what we say about ourselves, whether we want it to or not. If you're always down on yourself, you won't be able to enjoy anything. Telling yourself you'll do better in the future is one thing; refusing to feel proud of yourself and happy with the steps you've taken to make your life enjoyable right now is a different beast.  Remember...

Article in English: A lot of us use the term "paranoia" quite loosely. However, clinical paranoia involves persistent feelings of persecution and an inflated sense of self-importance. Unlike everyday suspicion, paranoia does not have a rational basis. There are several medical or mental health conditions that can cause paranoia, but they are not common. You cannot and should not attempt to diagnose yourself with any of these conditions. If you display any of their symptoms, see your physician or a mental health professional such as a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist. Only a trained medical professional can diagnose mental illnesses. PPD affects somewhere between 0.5% and 2.5% of the population. People with PPD are so suspicious of others that it causes dysfunction in their daily lives, such as extreme social withdrawal. Its symptoms include:  Suspicion, without grounds, of others, especially that you may be harmed, exploited, or deceived by them Suspicion of others’ trustworthiness, even friends and family Difficulty confiding in or working with others Reading hidden or threatening meanings into harmless remarks or events Grudge-bearing Social withdrawal or hostility Rapid anger reactions People with paranoid schizophrenia are usually convinced that others are out to harm them or their loved ones. They may also believe that they are extremely important (delusions of grandeur). Only about 1% of people have schizophrenia. Other common signs of paranoid schizophrenia include:  Social isolation or withdrawal Suspicion of others Guarded or reserved behavior Delusional jealousy Auditory hallucinations (“hearing things”) Delusional Disorder is the belief in one or more very specific paranoias (e.g., "The FBI is in my TV watching my every move"). It's pinpointed and not necessarily global, and the person is otherwise able to function without any obviously bizarre behavior. This disorder is extremely rare; only about 0.02% of people have delusional disorder. Common symptoms of Delusional Disorder include:  High levels of...

Article in English: A lot of what creates stress about school is whether or not you are sufficiently prepared to arrive on time with everything you need. To get rid of preparedness concerns, do as much as you can on Sunday evening. Taking action will relax you so that you can sleep well and make you feel more confident when Monday comes.  Check to make sure that you have everything you need in your backpack, and pay special attention any completed assignments that need to be turned in. Pack a healthy lunch so that you can grab it quickly in the morning. Set your alarm and make sure that its batteries are fully charged. This way you won't have to worry about whether or not you'll be on time. Pick out your clothes too, so you won't need to make a decision in the morning. If you have friends to talk to on the phone or family members nearby, remember that you can go to them to talk about your concerns. Even if you're not worried about anything in particular, talking can be a great way to release your anxiety. Let someone you trust know how you feel, and take advantage of how relaxing it is to know that you are supported by people who love you and will listen to you. It seems like relaxing should be easy to do, but in truth a lot of the things we do to relax don't work very well, like watching TV or hanging out on the computer. Try out a relaxation technique that will be your go-to when you're worrying a lot about Monday. Techniques like deep breathing, tai chi, and yoga help your mind relax along with your body. Deep breathing, for instance, relaxes an important nerve in your brain that can send a message to the rest of your body to become calm and loose. A soothing bath is a great way to settle down and take your mind off of nervous anticipation for the next day. If you have bath salt or essential oils (like lavender, chamomile, or jasmine), use them to increase the calming effect. Try to let your worries about school fade away as you soak up the warmth. But, if school is still on your mind, use the bath as a place to remind...

Article in English: A lot of wild colors are semi-permanent, meaning they'll wash out rather quickly. Some colors are harder to maintain, with blue being the most difficult. Always wash your hair in cool water. By avoiding a hot rinse, you may be able to decrease color fading. Dry shampoos can be quite helpful when it comes to maintaining brightly colored hair. They won't strip your hair color and they will keep your hair from becoming too greasy. After about a month, you may have noticeable roots. To touch up the color, repeat the dyeing process focusing only on the roots.

Article in English: A lot of women are intimidated by tampons before they first try them, but they’re actually very comfortable, easy to wear, and convenient. Practice before you go to the beach (but while you are on your period—trying to wear a tampon when you don’t have your period can be painful and dangerous) so you’re feeling confident by the time you hit the water.  Remember: tampons cannot get lost in your body. If something happens and the string comes off, it’s very easy to get the tampon out. Just make sure you don’t wear your tampon longer than 8 hours and you will be totally fine. Some women do have difficulty inserting tampons because their hymen is too tight or the vaginal opening is too small. If you are not able to insert a tampon after several tries, see your physician. If you don’t plan on swimming, you may be able to get away with a thin pad in your suit. Make sure it doesn’t have wings, and check in the mirror to make sure it’s not too bulky or visible through your suit. Wear a cute pair of shorts or a sarong around your waist, just in case your pad shows through your bathing suit. It’s tricky, and you may end up bleeding in the water anyway, but if you can’t wear a tampon and you’re dying to get into the water, give this a try. When you’re ready to swim, go to the bathroom to remove your pad. Slip on a pair of shorts and hustle back to the water.  Slip out of your shorts and leave them on the sand, then quickly get into the water. It’s not foolproof, but the water may stop your period while you are swimming, or make the flow so light no one will notice. When you get out, immediately slip your shorts back on, grab a fresh pad, and go to the bathroom to put it in your suit. The pad may have trouble adhering to the wet material, so you may just want to change into panties and keep your shorts on.

Article in English: A love story can be your main focus or it can be part of a larger tale. Decide whether you want your love story to be the main focus of your writing, or if you want it to enhance your main story.  Framing a love story as part of a larger story can create a more realistic, relatable feeling to your writing. Focusing primarily on romance can be sweeping, epic, and more escapist. Neither is inherently better or worse, they’re just different styles. For example, Love in the Time of Cholera is driven by its love story, but it also deals with themes of social strife, warfare, disease, aging, and death. It's also defined not just by its love story but by its magical realism, making it part of a strong Latino literary tradition. Love stories don’t have to be romance novels. They play out across the daily lives of your characters and can work in any type of genre. Decide whether you want to write a more traditional romance or if you want to frame your story in another genre.  To get an idea of how love stories are framed across genres, read books and short stories from the genres in which you’re interested. Noir, sci-fi, fantasy, historical fiction, and comedic writing are some good genres to explore. Pay attention to how different authors in these genres develop different conventions of a love story. Do you want your characters to get their happily-ever-after? Will they learn that love isn’t enough? Do you want something vague and open-ended? Deciding what kind of emotional resolution you want at the end of your story helps sculpt your plot and narrative. You can change this as you progress with your story if find that a different ending fits how your plot and characters develop. This should be a guide, but it doesn’t need to be a rule. A love story for the sake of a love story can be a beautiful thing if that’s what you want to write. However, many modern romance authors are considering the social contexts of what they are putting out, such as race, gender, and class. Think about whether you want your story to have...

Article in English: A low-glycemic diet can help reduce inflammation, which may contribute to your acne. While eating greasy food won't cause acne, eating fresh fruits and vegetables containing lots vitamin A can improve your complexion. Some foods that are high in vitamin A include sweet potatoes, carrots, dark leafy greens, dried apricots, melons, and tuna. These make your blood sugar spike which triggers insulin production. Insulin production also leads to oil production which can clog up your pores. While stress itself does not actually cause acne, it can lead to a more noticeable breakout. Find relaxing things to do on a regular basis. Meditation, exercise, reading, or learning a new skill are great things to add to your schedule and might keep the breakouts at bay.  Stressing about acne can make it even worse. Not only will your mental state aggravate acne, but getting too aggressive about treating acne (such as scrubbing, harsh chemicals, or too frequent washing) can also aggravate the problem. Typically, you are the only person who notices your own acne. Other people will usually not scrutinize your skin as closely as you do. Use your acne regimen as an opportunity to relax and take care of yourself. The actions of washing the face, drying the face, and smoothing on moisturizer all massage and can help you feel good. It can be a calming ritual in your day. Slow down and enjoy. An approach like this can help you relax, feel good about taking care of your skin, and make you feel better about yourself. A typical acne breakout will generally resolve itself within a few days, even if untreated. If you take on a new sport or like to exercise, be sure to wear loose fitting clothing so that your skin doesn't come into prolonged contact with sweat. Also, shower immediately after so that the oil and bacteria doesn't sit on your skin.

Article in English: A low-salt diet can help lower your blood pressure, which will in turn reduce the strain on your heart. It will not repair a defective valve, but it can reduce the likelihood that it will get worse. Even if surgery isn’t necessary for you, your doctor may still recommend you eat a low-salt diet.  Depending on how high your blood pressure is, your doctor may want you to reduce your salt intake to 2,300 or even 1,500 mg per day. Some people eat as much as 3,500 mg per day. You can reduce your salt intake by avoiding salted processed foods and canned foods with salt added. Avoid adding table salt to your food, salting meat when you cook it, or salting rice and pasta water. Which medications your doctor recommends will depend on your particular situation and medical history. If you are at a high risk of having blood clots or high blood pressure, your doctor will probably prescribe medications for those conditions. Medications will not repair a leaky valve, but they can improve conditions that make the leakage worse, like high blood pressure. Possible medications include:  Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. These are common blood pressure medications for mild mitral regurgitation.  Anticoagulants such as aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven) and clopidogrel (Plavix). Blood clots can cause strokes and heart attacks. These medications reduce the probability that you will develop a blood clot. Diuretics. These medications prevent you from retaining too much water. If poor circulation is causing your legs, ankles and feet to swell, you may be prescribed diuretics. They will also reduce your blood pressure. Diuretics can be used to relieve swelling caused by a tricuspid regurgitation.  Statins. These medications lower cholesterol. High cholesterol is often associated with high blood pressure and it may exacerbate the leakage. Beta blockers. Beta blockers reduce the rate and force at which your heart beats. This reduces your blood pressure and can reduce the strain on your heart. The standard way to repair...

Article in English: A macho guy should perform basic grooming on himself without spending too much time or money on his appearance. To look macho, you need to be clean, smell good, and dress appropriately, but not look like you spent more than 5 minutes getting ready in the morning, or that you care about your appearance.  Skip things like manicures and expensive haircuts. Instead, learn to trim your own neckline and beard with a trimmer to keep yourself looking good between basic cuts. Trim and clean your fingernails regularly, but don't worry about your cuticles.     Shower and wear clean clothes that fit appropriately and highlight your masculine physique. There's nothing macho about stinking and wearing the clothes a teenager wears. Learn to dress yourself.    What does a macho guy wear? The simpler, the better. A basic look that features any style of jeans, a clean white t-shirt, and work boots looked good in the 1950s and it still looks cool today. Dress appropriately for work. Don't wear flip-flops and board shorts to your job, or you risk looking like a chump. Get a solid pair of shoes or boots and get the job done. A macho guy gets his hands dirty and leads a physical life that will probably result in some dings and dents in the ol' dude. Don't worry about it. Embrace activities that you know you can handle, and be adventurous. You only live once. This doesn't mean that you should be irresponsible and put yourself at risk. Get scars because you dirt-bike and work on your car, not because you get into bar fights or drive like an idiot.

Article in English: A macro expression is when we make a face that goes along with a certain feeling and it lasts anywhere between .5 and 4 seconds, and usually involves the entire face.  These types of expressions are made when we are alone, or with close family or friends. They last longer than “microexpressions” because we are comfortable in our surroundings and don’t feel the need to conceal our emotions. Macroexpressions are relatively easy to see if you know what to look for in a person. A microexpression is a shortened version of an emotional facial expression. They go on and off the face in a fraction of a second, sometimes 1/30 of a second. They happen so fast that if you blink you can miss them.  Microexpressions are usually the sign of concealed emotions. Sometimes the emotions are not necessarily being concealed, they are just rapidly processed. Research suggests that micro expressions happen because facial expressions cannot be completely voluntarily controlled, even if the person is trying to control their emotions. There are two neural pathways in the brain that mediates facial expressions, and they enter into a type of “tug of war” over the face when someone is in an intensely emotional situation but is trying to conceal their feelings. Being able to read facial expressions benefits people in many different professions, especially those who work with the public, such as health professionals, teachers, researchers, and business people, as well as anyone interested in improving their personal relationships. When having a conversation with someone, see if you can first establish a baseline in their face. The baseline is their normal facial muscle activity when feeling little or no emotion. Then, throughout the course of the conversation, look for macro- or microexpressions and see how well these fit with what the person is saying.

Article in English: A macro lens will allow you to best capture the detail of the eye. Macro lenses vary in focal length from 50 to 200mm. You can still take a good close-up photo of the eye with a regular lens, but you may not be able to get the eye to fill the entire frame or capture all the detail you want. If you don’t have a macro lens and don’t want to spend the money to get one, try using a close-up filter as an alternative. Many cellphones have a macro mode, which will allow you to take a more detailed photograph of the eye than with your camera’s standard settings. A macro lens attachment for your cellphone will produce even more detailed shots.  You can find a macro lens attachment for your cellphone at most major retailers and electronics stores. If you’re planning to buy a macro lens attachment, make sure you choose one that fits your phone model. Extension tubes fit between the rear mount of the lens and the camera body. Using an extension tube will magnify the eye in your shot, allowing you to capture more intricate details.

Article in English: A magic eraser is a product that effectively removes grass, food, oil and other types of stains. You can also use it to remove scuff marks from the rubber part of your shoes. Try a magic eraser if regular spot cleaning just isn't cutting it. This mixture is a powerful natural cleaning agent. It's particularly effective for white shoes. If your shoes are another color, test it on the underside of the tongue before you use it on the rest of your shoes, since it could lighten your shoes in color. Here's how use baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to clean your shoes:  Make a paste with 1 tablespoon baking soda, 1/2 tablespoon hydrogen peroxide, and 1/2 tablespoon warm water. Dip an old toothbrush into the paste and use it to scrub the problem spot on your shoes. Allow the paste to dry on your shoes for twenty minutes. Rinse the area with clean water. Repeat if necessary. This works well for ink stains and small scuff marks. Dip a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol and use it to saturate the area that is stained. Use the cotton swab to gently wipe the area. If you see that the stain is rubbing off onto the cotton swab, keep going until it's completely gone.  If you're trying to remove nail polish, try using nail polish remover. If you're trying to remove paint, try using a bit of paint thinner. You can also use tooth paste to scrub scuff marks. This only works for white Converse shoes; don't try it if your shoes are another color you want to keep! If your shoes are white, bleaching them is a good way to remove the toughest stains. Work in a well-ventilated room, and wear old clothes you don't mind getting splattered with a little bleach.  Mix one part bleach with five parts water. Use an old toothbrush to scrub the stain with the bleach mixture. Rinse the area with clean water. Repeat as necessary until the stain has been removed.

Article in English: A magic eraser is a special sort of sponge.  Its microporous structure allows it to clean surfaces that prove impossible to clean via normal methods.  If your ceramic stovetop has resisted baking soda and razor scraper cleaning solutions, try a magic eraser. You can obtain a magic eraser at your local big box grocery store, or online. There are a number of products available designed specifically to clean ceramic stovetops.  Cerama Bryte and Cook Top are two such specialized ceramic cooktop cleaners.  Each cleaning product is slightly different, so consult manufacturer instructions for more detailed information regarding use.  Generally, you’ll spray or sprinkle your stovetop with the specially-formulated cleaning agent, then wipe the surface with a damp rag or sponge. These products are useful for cutting through grease stains and burned-on material. If, after wiping the ceramic stovetop down with baking soda and a damp rag, it is still not clean, use a razor scraper to scrape the debris off.  A razor scraper is a small tool consisting of a handle and a razor blade with its edge facing out.  Run the blade along the burned material at a sharp angle by keeping the blade and its handle as close as possible to the surface of the ceramic stovetop.  Wipe the stovetop with a damp, soapy sponge before scraping it with the razor scraper. Do not move the blade in a direction that runs parallel to the blade or you’ll scratch the surface of the cooktop.  Always move the blade in a direction that is perpendicular to it. Cleaning the stovetop with a razor scraper should be a last resort.

Article in English: A magnetic duster or Swiffer duster will be perfect. Magnetic dusters make use of static charge to attract and hold dust, while a Swiffer duster’s specially designed material grips and locks in dust so that it doesn’t go flying. Magnetic dusters are typically a couple of feet in length, so they’ll work well for a person of average height (though you might still need a step-stool). If you go with a Swiffer duster, you’ll also need a handle extender which is cheap and can be bought alongside the regular duster at any home goods store. An extendable duster handle and pack of disposable heads can be purchased for less than $15. In order to attract dust, your magnetic duster needs to build up the proper static charge. To accomplish this, take a simple plastic shopping bag and grip it around the head of the duster, then rub it back and forth to fluff the dusting fronds and create static electricity. Your duster should now be able to “magnetize” nearby dust without even touching it. Watch out when touching metal surfaces after using a magnetic duster. Any time you work with static electricity, there’s a chance of a slight electrostatic shock, which can startle and sting. If you’re using a Swiffer duster or another kind of long-handled disposable duster, start by attaching a fresh dusting head or pad. Used pads that are clogged with dust won’t hold the new dust that they come into contact with, and you might even lose dust and make a new mess. Fit a new pad or dusting head onto the end of the extendable handle and you’ll be ready to take on fresh dust. Hold the handle of the duster overhead and drag the duster over the top of the fan blade. The grippy material should capture even thick coats of dust in a single pass, making the fan a breeze to clean. Repeat this process of the remaining blades. Go slowly so you don’t sweep dust onto yourself! The fan may be especially dirty or the dusting head or pad may run out of usable area before you’re finished. Should this happen, pause long enough to switch out the dusting...

Article in English: A major cause of bruxism is stress and anxiety. CBT is a psychological treatment that will help you manage stress issues by changing the way you think and how you act. A trained therapist will encourage you to talk about how you think about yourself, the world, and other people. The therapist will also get you to talk about how your actions affect your thoughts and feelings. Some sufferers of bruxism have found relief through hypnosis. In fact, one study reviewed the long term effects of hypnosis and positive results were still continuing 36 months after treatment. There are hypnosis recordings you can buy online to help cure bruxism. Biofeedback is a type of medicine that uses monitoring procedures and equipment to teach you how to control muscle activity in your jaw. Biofeedback uses monitoring equipment like mechanical sensors in a mouth splint. The idea is that once you become more aware of how exactly you grind your teeth, you can learn to control your jaw muscles and get rid of your bruxism. Your doctor can give you more information on how biofeedback can be applied to your mouth.

Article in English: A major factor in happiness is social contact and support. Talking to a friend about your sadness or the situation that has caused your sadness can help lessen the pain because you will know that someone cares about you and your feelings. Talking out loud can also help you "air out" your emotions and clarify exactly what you are feeling because it requires you put those feelings into words. Your sadness is no longer abstract, but becomes real, something that can be named and discussed, through its articulation in words.  Research has shown that people who experience major life stresses, such as the loss of a partner or job, come out the other side of the ordeal more easily if they have a network of friends and family on whom they can draw and rely.  You may also learn something from talking to a friend. For example, maybe your friend has experienced similar feelings or a similar situation and can offer you support and advice. Alternatively, your friend may be able to help you look at your situation from a different angle and may be able to suggest methods of coping that you had not yet thought of. If you're going through a break up, for example, maybe your friend reminds you of all of the times you called her complaining about how your boyfriend was inattentive and selfish. In this sense, your friend can help remind you of the reasons why you broke up with your boyfriend when you're stuck being sad about the breakup itself. Friends can also help you feel supported and alleviate the feeling that you are alone. They offer you a place to be heard and understood. In addition, simply talking with a friend may improve your mood since you will likely end up smiling and laughing at some point! See a movie, go for dinner, or head out for a bike ride with friends or family. Along with distracting yourself, social interaction outside will help you get out of your own head for a few hours. Just talking with others - even exchanging menial pleasantries - and a change of scenery can improve your mood. If you're a loner by...

Article in English: A major indicator of the victim mentality is the tendency to place blame on outside sources for the state you are in. Maybe you blame your spouse because you stopped going out with friends and ended up feeling socially isolated. Maybe you blame your parents for not exposing you to certain opportunities in life that would ensure your future success. No matter where blame is directed, it’s essentially useless. When you blame others, you give them power over your life instead of taking your destiny into your own hands. What’s more, you also push people away in the process. Do you spend most days of the week lamenting to any who will listen about your problems or inadequacies? Do you notice friends slowly not taking your phone calls or people avoiding you at work? Even the best relationships have trouble surviving when one person always has something bad to share. Complaining can be a tempting behavior and nonstop venting may seem to make you feel good on the surface. However, constant complaining sends the message to your brain to look for the negative, which only makes you feel worse in the long run. Feeling inadequate and not good enough is at the core of the victim mentality. A self-loather often views him/herself negatively and is always nervously waiting for others to spot all their inadequacies.  This kind of person is terribly hard to be in a relationship with because they cannot accept praise or compliments. Someone else may say “Wow, you did a great job on this project!” and the person pushes away the compliment with “Oh, no it was Tommy who did all the work.” One way to stop self-loathing is to accept the reality that how you see yourself isn’t the only or right way for you to be. Recognize that others' perceptions of you may be different, but, at least to them, they may also be accurate. Another clear sign of being a victim is living in the past. You may constantly reflect back on your earlier years and regret decisions or actions that you didn’t take.  Dwelling in the past is pointless since you can...

Article in English: A major part of diplomacy is helping others feel comfortable with you.  Instead of jumping right into a serious talk, establish a level of friendliness with others.  Talk about each other's weekends, spouses, kids or hobbies.  Discuss the latest news or TV shows that you’re watching.  Help them feel at ease by showing your interest in their lives. Inject humor where you can. Show empathy for them by mimicking their gestures and posture.  If they are sitting with their hand resting under their chin, do the same.  This shows that you are engaged in the conversation. Smile at them when you see them at first, as well. People often respond positively to the use of their own name.   Every so often, use their name while you’re talking. It can be something simple like “Where would you like to have lunch, Kyle?” or something more serious like “Andrea, I’m so sorry to hear about your mother.” When having a talk with someone, avoid using your phone or daydreaming.  Instead, actively listen to them so that you can understand their perspective.  Relay back what they said to you to prove that you hear them. For instance, you might say “It sounds like having to take care of your mother and your small child is really taking a toll on your health.” Show that you’re listening to them by learning more about what they’re discussing.  Ask them open-ended questions that require thought and more than a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer. Ask something like “Wow, you went to Greece?  What made you decide to go there and what did you like best?”

Article in English: A majority of scams follow similar types of fact patterns. This occurs because scammers know what works and what doesn't, and they try to scam you by doing what works best. First, scammers will use fear to try and get you to do something. For example, some scammers might say that a relative has been arrested and needs money. Second, scammers will try to rush you to make a decision quickly. The longer you think about what is happening, the more likely it is that you will not become a victim. Just as scammers use common practices like fear and panic, they will also use the same scams over and over again. If you can learn what types of common scams are out there, it will be easier to identify them and avoid them. Scams can take place online, over the phone, through the mail, and even in person. The most common scams include:  Advance fee scams, which occur when people tell you that you have won a lottery, or that you can invest in something, and all you have to do is pay a small fee upfront. Charity scams, which occur when people tell you they are collecting money for some charitable cause. In reality, once you make a "donation," the scammers keep the money for themselves. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) scams, which occur when people tell you that you owe money in taxes or that they need your personal information to make sure your taxes were filed properly. These people try to get money as well as personal information in order to steal your identity. Phantom debt scams, which occur when people contact you pretending to be debt collectors. They will threaten you and tell you that you owe money that you do not really owe. Phishing scams occur when individuals contact you claiming there is a problem with some account you might have (e.g., credit card accounts and loan accounts). They will tell you they can fix the problem, but they need to verify your personal information. Once they have your personal information, they use it to steal your identity. One of the best ways to keep up-to-date on recent scam schemes is...

Article in English: A male dog that is too young will not be able to reproduce. A male dog usually reaches sexual maturity when they are over a year old, however they usually begin puberty when they are six months to eight months old. They can impregnate a female dog from the point of puberty on. If you want to use your dog for breeding when it is at its maximum fertility, wait until it is at least a year and a half old. The first step in assuring that your male dog is fertile is to make sure that he is generally healthy. If he has any severe health problems, these could interfere with his fertility.  Make sure that your dog gets regular annual exams and that you treat any problems that are found effectively. Some general health problems that could interfere with reproduction include mobility issues that could inhibit the ability to complete sexual intercourse or injuries to the reproductive organs of the dog. There are some diseases and genetic abnormalities that can make a dog infertile. If you are serious about wanting to use your male dog to breed, then you should have it tested for a diseases that could cause infertility and genetic problems that could cause infertility or genetic problems for offspring. For example, genetic problems could include chromosomal anomalies in the dog or the potential for polygenic disorders if mated.

Article in English: A male plant, compared to a female plant of the same strain, generally has a thicker stalk. That is because it gets taller than female plants and needs to be able to support the weight. They also have fewer leaves than female plants. If male plants are allowed to pollinate, they will severely lower the potential crop of your female plants. That's because, once fertilized, female plants spend energy producing seeds instead of THC, leading to a smaller harvest. If you are growing indoors you will likely be visiting your plants regularly, so the following checks should be easy to do.  You need to check every plant to determine if it is male or female, as one rogue male can wreck your harvest. In general, male plants show their sex 7-10 days (indoor) or 3 weeks (outdoor) before female plants. The little balls that grow on the joints of the stalk (where the other branches meet the main stalk) are the main indicators of male plants. These flowers release pollen and need to be removed for a better crop.  If you're trying to create new plants or reproduce, you need to leave these balls undisturbed. Female plants will have these bulbs too, but will also have long, translucent hairs on them. If you only see 1-2 on a plant, wait and see if more develop before cutting them. Marijuana plants can grow both sex organs. If you see any of the tell-tale male buds, you should trim them like you would a normal male plant. They will still release pollen that can ruin your crop. "Hermies" are generally undesirable plants, and they can ruin a small crop with their pollen if you're not careful. Once you've determined a plan is male, you need to get rid of it or it will ruin your crop. Do not try and remove the buds by hand, as missing even a few will significantly decrease your crop. While most growers simply throw the plants out, a few keep them around for breeding purposes. If you do, put them in a separate room from the females, and make sure you don't track pollen in from the male room to the female room on your clothes or hands.

Article in English: A man in a midlife crisis may either gain or lose a lot of weight. With that obviously comes changes in eating and exercising, too. This will seem to come on suddenly instead of a gradual weight loss or gain that most of us experience ten times over. Some men will gain a lot of weight, start binging on junk food and take up a sedentary lifestyle. Others will lose weight, lose interest in food, and even go on crash diets or excessively exercise. In certain cases, both are unhealthy. It's possible that a rogue, gray nose hair set off your man's midlife crisis. If he had this dawning revelation that he's getting old, he may start taking strides to look and stay young, ridiculous as they may be. He may try anti-aging solutions that range from a cabinet full of creams to cosmetic procedures or even plastic surgery. A change of fashion may come, too. All of a sudden it's as if he's raided your son's closet in a desperate attempt to be cool. Sounds terribly embarrassing, but it's nothing compared to plastic surgery. Often men mid-crisis see themselves and realize that they don't recognize their reflection. In their heads, they're still that gregarious 25-year-old with a full head of hair and tanned, glowing skin. One day they wake up and that hair seems to have moved to their nose and ears and that tan, glowing skin is still tan and glowing, just a few inches south. Imagine if you woke up feeling 20 years older. Terrible, huh? That's what your man is going through. He's facing the realization that he's not young anymore and life is half over – and he's weathered to prove it.

Article in English: A man often responds to stress differently from a woman. Women tend to seek friends out to talk things out. A man on the other hand, may isolate or withdraw. For example, he may start watching TV more than usual, turn to alcohol, or visit the gym for hours at a time to relieve his stress. However he responds to stress, remember, every man is different. Some possible ways that a man may respond to stress are:   Avoiding situations. He may try to stay away from places or people that trigger his stress.  Creating problems to mask stress. Although counterproductive, a man may create problems to avoid the real issue or to have a greater sense of control.  Being angry. Men tend to express anger more easily than other emotions since it is more socially accepted. He may become easily frustrated or start to yell.  Blaming others. Because men tend to externalize, a man may blame others for his problems to avoid the feelings of stress.  Increasing physical activity. A man may begin to exercise more, play sports or engage in other physical activities to release tension. If a man you're in a relationship with has isolated somewhat, it could be because there is something (unrelated to you) on his mind. Remember, don’t jump to conclusions such as, “He doesn’t like me anymore,” “I did something wrong,” or worse “He’s breaking up with me!” Many men are used to holding things in and not talking things out. Overreacting to his isolation could lead him to distance himself even more. Don’t make him feel wrong for how he responds to stress since this could make him more defensive. Of course you want to comfort a man with whom you have a relationship and show him you care, but use caution. When you try to be helpful by offering solutions or doing things for him, this could make him feel emasculated. Asking him over and over again, "What's wrong" What's wrong? Why won't you let me help you?" will have a negative effect and he may begin to resent you. A better approach is to simply offer support and understanding without actually...

Article in English: A mandolin is traditionally tuned G-D-A-E, from low to high, with each pair of strings tuned to the same tone. In other words, the instrument is tuned G-G-D-D-A-A-E-E, taking into consideration each individual string. When you're holding the mandolin correctly, the highest string pair (E) should be the closest to the floor. If you play guitar, it can also be helpful to think of it as the lowest four guitar strings (E-A-D-G), but in reverse. That can also help you get familiar with the fingerings when you're first getting started on the instrument. On most mandolins, the tuners for both G strings and both D strings will be on the side of the headstock closest to you, while the tuners for both A strings and E strings will be on the side of the headstock closest to the floor, in order. As you tune, you generally want to tune in that clockwise pattern on the tuners, around the headstock, working your way down the instrument and higher in pitch. What makes tuning a mandolin more difficult than tuning a violin, of course, is that there are 8 strings instead of 4, meaning that you have to be precise or the instrument will be out of tune. It can be difficult to know which string is out of tune when you're striking them both in unison. Use "rest strokes" (in which you dampen each string with the pick after playing) to isolate each note individually as you're tuning. This will get a clearer tone on the electronic tuner, or whatever other tuning method you're using. As with any stringed instrument, you generally want to tune from flat to sharp, tuning the string up in pitch, rather than down from a higher note to the correct tone. This is because you want to settle the tension in the string toward the gear, not away from it. When you tune down, you risk letting the tension slip on the tuning gear as you play, making the string will go flat. This is especially true with new strings. Worn out or rusty strings will go out of the tune more easily and bedevil your fingers as you're learning. Make sure you change your strings...

Article in English: A manic episode is a mood state in which your child's mood is expanded. They may demonstrate an extraordinary amount of optimism and a sudden rush of energy. Symptoms include:  Elevated self-esteem Decreased need for sleep (for example, your child could sleep for three hours and feel well-rested) Increased interest in activities, hobbies, and/or goals Rapid speech and speaking nonstop Racing thoughts Attention loss Reckless behavior A depressive episode is the opposite of a manic one. This episode usually includes sadness and gloomy emotions and behavior. Symptoms include:  Sleeping too much or feeling tired a lot Losing interest in hobbies, activities, and/or goals Feeling negative and low Withdrawing from friends Lack of energy Trouble focusing Changes in appetite, like eating too much or too little When your child is in an episode, they may say many hurtful things towards you or others. They may think negatively about you and verbalize those thoughts. Don't take this to heart. Understand that your child is having a hard time due to the episode.  Your child may be quite aggressive, violent, cruel, and reckless. They may lack judgment skills and be harsh. Talk to your spouse or a friend or family member for support. You may also consider seeing a therapist yourself to help you cope. It is important to practice self-care so that you can care for your child. When experiencing an episode, your child may become violent or aggressive. They may harm themselves or others. Form a plan before your child has an episode so you'll know to react when your child behaves this way. Talk to your child's doctor or therapist about how to act when your child behaves in a destructive manner. Some examples: For example, if your child starts banging their head against the wall, you might place pillows beneath them. If they start to become violent towards someone else, you might bring them into a quiet room so they can calm down. If your child starts to scratch themselves purposely, you might bring them putty to help them relax and...

Article in English: A mare who is suspected to be pregnant can be brought into contact with a stallion fourteen days after contact with the stallion to observe whether her behavior indicates possible pregnancy. If the mare is pregnant, she will likely refuse the advances of the stallion and not show her rear to the stallion as she would during heat.Although it's good to be aware that a mare that is not in heat may also refuse the stallion's advances for other reasons. Some mares raise their tails, open and close the lips of the vulva, and squat to squirt urine or mucus in addition to becoming generally difficult during their heat cycles. If the mare shows these behaviors 21 days after having been potentially impregnated, she is not pregnant. A veterinarian can perform a transrectal palpation 16 to 19 days after the mare has been with a stallion. The vet puts his or her hand in the mare's rectum to check the uterus for indications of pregnancy. These indications include the size and/or shape of the uterus and the nature of the swellings on her ovaries. An ultrasound requires the vet to insert a probe into the mare's rectum to take pictures that can confirm pregnancy. From 16 days, the pregnancy can be detected, and at 55 to 70 days they might be able to determine the sex.  The ultrasound uses sound waves to create a picture of the uterus and can monitor the heartbeat of a fetus. Ultrasound is the preferred method of telling whether a mare is pregnant, as it is the most reliable.
