Article in English: If you aren't careful, you may unwittingly hurt another person without intending to do so. Be especially cautious when interacting with fragile individuals--such as children, sick people, or very old people.  Always err on the side of caution. Treat fragile people as though they might actually break. You do not need to be overprotective--just thoughtful. If you are picking up a small child, don't throw her in the air or swing her around. Hold her gently, with both of your arms, and be careful not to drop her. Be playful, but not careless. If you are trying to a get a child or other dependent to come with you, don't pull their arm or push them. Pulling a child's arm can bruise skin, dislocate a shoulder, and earn the mistrust of the child. Sternly but gently tell him or her to come. Physical intimacy is an important part of being human, but you should not violate anyone's personal space. Be respectful.  This can include playful touching. Acts like tickling, poking, or holding can seriously bother a person if they aren't in the mood. Respect consent. If someone asks you to stop: stop. If you don't respect peoples' space, then they will distrust you. If you absolutely must touch someone who doesn't want to be touched (say, your child is throwing a tantrum, but you need to change his diaper): be as soothing and careful as possible. Do what you need to do, and then give the person their space. The strongest people are those who can interact with others--touch others, speak with others, love others--in a patient and caring way. Being gentle is being able to hold someone without crushing them.  Think of a hug. Try to hug someone close enough that they feel your warmth, but not so close that they cannot breathe. Always be aware of how tightly you are squeezing. Walk softly, but with power behind every step. You do not need to use all of your strength all of the time in order to prove that you possess it. There is strength in self-control. If you get into a disagreement with someone--or if you want someone to do...

Summary in Russian:

Осознайте свои силы и проявляйте осмотрительность. Не касайтесь людей, которые этого не хотят. Не путайте мягкость со слабостью. Проявляйте терпение. Не разъяряйтесь. Сделайте глубокие вдохи. Уйдите. Используйте "конструктивную дискуссию".


Article in English: If you aren't confident that your pan is oven-safe, you can also season a pan on the stovetop. Begin by heating the clean, dry pan on medium heat for 3 minutes. Once the pan has heated for 3 minutes, add 2 tablespoons (29.57 ml) of coconut oil to the pan and wait for it to melt, about 2 minutes. You can also use vegetable oil if you prefer or don't have access to coconut oil. Once the coconut oil has melted, pick the pan up off the stove and roll your wrist to tilt it around in a circular motion. This should swirl the oil around in the bottom of the pan so that it coats the entire bottom. After swirling the oil, place the pan back down on the burner. Let the pan sit over the heat until the coconut oil begins to smoke. This means that the oil is getting hot and is starting to bake into pan. When you start seeing the oil smoke, take the non-stick pan off the heat and set it aside to cool. Keep the oil inside the pan and let the pan cool until it is room temperature. Once the pan cools, you should still see some coconut oil coating the bottom. Take a paper towel and gently rub the oil into the pan. The rubbing should force some coconut oil into the pores of the pan, while absorbing the excess with the paper towel. Your pan is seasoned and should be ready to use.

Article in English: If you aren't diabetic and have no other recognizable systemic disease then the neuropathy might be caused by deficiencies of vitamins E, B1, B6, and B12. However, talk with your doctor before taking a vitamin supplement. Your doctor will need to diagnose the cause of your neuropathy before advising supplements or medications. To get more vitamins from a healthy diet, eat plenty of green leafy vegetables, egg yolks, and liver. Neuropathy usually develops many years after diabetes has been diagnosed. Good diabetic control can prevent or halt neuropathy. But once developed, it may not be possible to fully reverse the condition. Your doctor will focus on managing the diabetes and controlling the pain caused by neuropathy. It's important to keep your blood glucose level in check. Target blood glucose level is 70-130 mg/dL at fasting and below 180 mg/dL two hours after breakfast. You should also keep your blood pressure under control. You may notice less sensation and feeling in your neuropathic feet. This may make you more prone to injuries like cuts, pricks or scratches. Always wear socks or shoes when inside or outdoors. Repeated injury to your feet can easily lead to ulcer formation that is difficult to heal. You should also ask your doctor to examine your feet when you go in for regular visits.  Use loose fitting footwear such as a pair of backless slippers, but avoid shoes, sandals, or flip-flops that offer little support. Tight shoes may compromise adequate blood supply to pressure points of your feet and lead to ulcer formation in those areas. Keep your nails at a good length. This will prevent ingrown toenails. Just use caution when clipping. To avoid accidental cuts, don't use blades. Wash the ulcer area with warm salt water. Take a piece of sterile gauze and pour a little saline over it. Use this to clean the dead tissue over the ulcer. Then, dry the area and cover the ulcer with a sterile dressing. Take care to change the dressing once or twice a day, more often if it gets wet. If there is a foul smell...

Article in English: If you aren't familiar with the toaster, set the dial to a lower number rather than a higher number. You can always put the slice back in for a bit more heat—but you cannot un-burn a piece of toast! For example, if you start with a medium setting, and the toast comes out too light, you can toast it again using a low setting. If you are making toast for someone else, ask them whether they prefer their toast darker or lighter. If they prefer their toast lighter, then set the dial to the low end: 1 or 2. If they prefer their toast dark, then set it to the high end: 3 to 5. If you can't ask the person what they like, choose a medium setting. This way, the toast will be neither too light or too dark. If you set the dial to the highest setting, then you are playing with fire. Thick slices may press directly up against the electric heat filaments, which can apply dangerous heat to the food item.   If you accidentally burn your toast, hold it over a sink, then use a knife to scrape the burnt parts off. Be aware that there will be lots of crumbs! Watch your toast carefully as it heats. If you see it starting to burn, don't wait for it to pop. Push the level up manually!

Article in English: If you aren't sure where to sit, look for where the oarlocks are located. These are the small rings through which the oars are placed. Because the action of rowing is backwards, that is, the force of rowing propels you backwards, you should sit with your back to the bow (the front of the boat) and face the stern (the rear of the boat).  If they aren't in place already, run the oars through the oar hooks so that the blade is in the water and the handle is in the boat. Make sure the oarlock points towards the back of the boat. If your oarlock faces the bow of the boat, it will be more difficult to row because the pitch of your blade will be off. Make sure the boat you are using to row in is an actual rowboat. If you row in a boat not designed for rowing, the task of rowing is going to be much more difficult. An ideal rowboat is 12 to 17 feet in length. Some rowboats will come with foot stretchers that will need to be adjusted to the length of your legs. If you have longer legs, the foot stretcher may need to be adjusted so that it is farther away from you. To figure out where you foot stretchers need to be, push back in your seat until your legs are straight, and make sure the handles of the oars almost touch your body (but not quite).  If you have lots of room between your handles and your chest when your legs are extended, you may need to move the foot stretchers away from you towards the stern. If you don't have much room between your handles and your chest, you may need to move your foot stretchers towards you, towards the bow. If you have more of a classic rowboat, or one that isn't designed for sports, you may not have foot stretchers or a seat that pushes backwards. In that case, you will still be doing similar arm movements as that of a rowing machine, but you won't be extending your legs. Your hand should be at the end of the oar, with your thumb on the tip of the oar. A typical rowboat has two oars, and the oars should be about twice the length of the beam of the boat, which is the width of the boat....

Article in English: If you aren't, hang around him a lot, talk to him, sit by him. Friendship should always come first if you want to be with him in school, especially elementary. People this young would be surprised if they found out you liked a boy that you hardly knew. What are his interests, what does he like doing and what things do you have in common with him? Find those things out. Then you can start to do things that he likes. Maybe play a sport that he likes. Or get him a present on his birthday. It wouldn't seem that suspicious if you were already friends. If you don't know his friends, make more effort to get to know them. Maybe the person you like hangs out with his friends a lot, so try to join in the group, even if you're a little shy you might be the only girl there. Don't know how? Just let him be your best friend how you'd do it for your girl best friend. Hang out with him the most, partner up for projects. Maybe if he has a sibling who your friends with as well, go to his house. Don't steal him though. That's not how you do it. Try to stay as calm as you can if you get into an argument or disagreement with him. The last thing you'll want is first thinking of him as your crush, and then an enemy.   Don't call him stupid or ugly or anything mean. Show him you're there for him but don't baby him. Stand up for him and let him see that you really mean your friendship with him. Show him that you're brave. Some boys find this feeling nice. That means, give it time. Even if it progresses no further than friendship, at least you have a good friend in the making. After all, you're both still really young and there is a lot of life ahead of both of you.

Article in English: If you aren’t able to distance yourself from the coworker (e.g. if it’s your boss or if you have daily meetings with them, or work very closely together) do your best to keep chatting related to work things, or at least keep it as superficial as possible. The more you chat about personal things, the more you will feel connected to them.  If they ask you what you did over the weekend, you can respond with something like, “Oh, nothing special. Just took care of a few things.” Don’t then respond by asking them what they did. Keeping your answer short and not reciprocating will discourage further personal chatting. If you need to chat in order to avoid an awkward silence, bring up generic things like the weather, or a big work deadline that is coming up. Disregard any innuendos from your coworker. Of course, awkwardness will ensue if the coworker with whom you're in love with starts making advances. If you notice that the other person is flirting with you, disengage from the relationship or try to cut or reduce contact. In today’s technologically driven corporate workplace, you can conduct a good amount of business via email or the company’s intranet if possible. In some companies, it’s quite common to go out after work for a beer or for dinner. If the coworker you are interested is going, don’t go. Make up an excuse about how you’re having dinner with a friend or that you have to run some errands before heading home. Staying away from non-work related events where they will be present will help you avoid fantasizing about what your relationship would be like outside the office. If you must attend some event where your coworker will be present, distance yourself from them as much as possible without drawing attention. If there is alcohol present, do not drink any! If you drink alcohol, you will feel less inhibited, which may result in letting your thoughts slip. This may not be possible in every type of job, but if you are able to do so without being suspicious, choose email or other methods of communicating that...

Article in English: If you aren’t doing cross-country as a school or college sport, you have the freedom to decide exactly how long you want your long-distance run to be.  Long distance runs span a range from a 3K (three kilometers, or under 2 miles) all the way up to a marathon (over 40 kilometers, or 26 miles) or an ultra-marathon (over 60 kilometers). Think about your previous athletic experience and how hard you want to push yourself.  If you're amping up from a sedentary lifestyle, talk to a doctor before starting a new exercise regimen. You can work together to develop a plan that takes your strengths and weaknesses into account.  You will want to consider your body’s limitations, including asthma or injuries, in your decision. Also take the availability of safe places to run near you into account. You probably don’t want to wait, but it’s important to give your body time to adjust to long-distance running. Depending on your fitness level, it takes a new runner about 3 to 6 months to prepare for a half marathon and about 6 to 12 months to prepare for a marathon. You’re going to be building up to the race, so there’s no need to strain yourself right off the bat.  If you’re running a very long race, like a half or full marathon, make use of a professionally developed training plan. There are plenty available on the Internet, or you can reach out to a local running or athletic store for resources.  There's no need to run every day. It's actually best not to. Shoot for three or four days a week, with one of those days perhaps being an extra-long weekend run. Be aware that you won’t necessarily run the full distance before the race. The only time marathon runners actually run marathons is on race day! This is counterintuitive but essential. You can’t sustain a sprint for ten miles, so don’t try. Pace yourself--you can always build up speed later in your training. The most important thing right now is learning to cover a lot of ground. The number of steps you take per minute is called your cadence. Professional runners actually...

Article in English: If you aren’t home a lot or you’re too busy to regularly groom your cat, you might consider taking your kitty to a professional grooming service. Among the services offered by a groomer are: brushing the fur, shaving difficult mats, clipping nails, cleaning ears, and bathing. Look online or ask for a referral from your veterinarian. Check to see if the groomer is part of the National Cat Groomers Institute of America. This association institutes and maintains standards for cat grooming. You need to balance how much your cat might get stressed out if you take him to a groomer. Consider how well your cat does in the car riding to the groomer. The experience of grooming can be difficult for a cat. But if your cat’s fur is in really bad shape, it might be worth the stress to get him cleaned up. If daily brushing and occasional spot cleaning are not sufficient to keep your cat clean, speak to your veterinarian about whether or not clipping your cat’s fur is advisable. Clipping is often not necessary for cats with normal grooming habits or for those that can be easily groomed by their owners. But long-haired cats tend to mat easily. They often object to daily brushing and do not adequately groom themselves. These types of cats may do better if most of their fur is clipped. Depending on the cat's temperament, this procedure may require sedation by a veterinarian.

Article in English: If you aren’t talking to each other, someone will have to make the first move. Let it be you this time! It will show them that you want to be friends again and you’re serious about resolving things. Think about how you can reach them. Depending on the person and the severity of your argument, you may need to try a few different ways to get in touch. If they won’t answer your phone call, leave a voicemail saying you really want to fix things, then text them with a similar message. If they block your texts, email them. If your email is ignored, try to communicate with a private message through social media. If all else fails, you can try visiting them in person at their house.  Reach out once and wait for a response before trying to reach them a different way. You don't want to make them feel harassed or pressured. If they agree to meet you via text or email, it may be best to meet in a mutual, public place so that neither of you feels intimidated or under pressure. If your friend refuses to see or speak with you, or if visiting them in person isn’t an option, you may want to just back off for a while. Your friend wants space and that should be respected. Use the time to reflect on the situation and prepare what you want to say. Don’t push your friend if it’s clear they want space. It will only upset them and make them frustrated with you. Explain what you feel is the problem and be honest about it. Then ask them to do the same. Let them talk for as long as they need to. Really listen and don’t interrupt them. This way, you both get to tell your side of the story and get everything out on the table. Express your feelings without using inflammatory or accusatory words. For example, instead of saying, "You made a really dumb decision," ask your friend, "Why did you decide to do that? I'm having trouble understanding." This will prevent blame from being thrown around and create a more peaceful tone while you talk. For example, instead of saying "You were a selfish jerk," say something like, "I felt like you didn't...

Article in English: If you ask someone for a favor at an inconvenient time, you can embarrass or even anger him or her. You also might decrease the chances he or she will say yes. If you're going to ask your teacher for help with your math homework, don't ask in the middle of his lecture.  Definitely  don't ask right after he's learned his house has burned down! In general, try not to interrupt someone's work nor their moments of joy or sadness. Depending on the favor, you might also want to move to a private location when you ask your person. If your favor's embarrassing to you or this other person (for instance, if you need help removing a wedgie), don't ask him or her in front of other people. The sooner you mention your intentions, the better. It's polite to be up-front about you want, but it's also a smart use of your time. If you ask for a favor at the end of a long conversation and your helper says s/he can't help you, you've wasted time you could have spent looking for another helper. It's simple - all you need to say is something like, "Hey, I was wondering if I could ask you a favor" within your first few sentences. Then, simply launch into your request! Your potential helper will probably appreciate that you weren't sneaky about what you wanted! You want to be polite and gracious while also being crystal clear about what you want. Explain the facts of the situation. Leave nothing to guessing. Then, without dallying, explain what you need this person's help with. Ask them plainly if they'll help you in the form of a simply-worded question. Don't allow any chance of misunderstanding. If this issue is important enough to require a favor, you should address it head-on. Say "Do you think you can help me with my math homework for an hour tomorrow?", not "Hey, if you want to show me some math stuff, that's cool!"  Specify any relevant deadlines or qualifying information up front. For instance, in our math homework example, if you've got a test at the end of the week, be sure to include this information so the person will...

Article in English: If you assume you know what best friends' roles are, you could get disappointed and frustrated. Best friends are the most valuable friends you have, but they can't help or support you in every aspect of your life. Do not expect them to always be there, or expect them to say the thing you want to hear. If you set expectations for your best friends that are too high, it will only leave you disappointed and defeated.  Be your own caretaker. This comes back to being your own best friend and taking care of yourself. If you take care of yourself, you'll never put your friend in a position where they have to come in and rescue you. If you never put your friend in this position, you'll never be disappointed. Remember that no one is perfect - not even your best friend. Everyone has their own faults, and they need to work through it. Don't be mean to your friend about their faults, but help them work through it while asking for help on your own as well. However, when gently letting your friend know, understand that your friend has feelings, and it's best to only focus on the faults that are the biggest threat to your friendship. Know what faults to ignore/let go of and what faults to help your friend solve. Sometimes, you need to let your friend solve their faults without your help, unless they ask for your assistance. Constant nagging will make your friend feel stressed and angry, and they may be unwilling to improve your friendship if you're putting pressure on it. It's natural to stop having chemistry with a certain person. If you grow apart, for whatever reason, just be happy for the good times, and know how lucky you were to have that great person be a part of your life.  If neither of you make an effort to get together, or if you get into fights with them for no reason, then maybe you weren't meant to be best friends. It's not anyone's fault. Maybe you two are too much alike. Who knows? You might just need a break from one another for a few weeks. Always treat your friend with respect, even if you grow apart....

Article in English: If you become reactionary in a fight, this can escalate the situation. It can make you the aggressor. This can make you look out of control and emotional, which can make you look weak in your opponent's eyes. Only respond to what your opponent does. Do not react. Pause before you react to something your opponent does. For example, if they insult you, don't give in to your emotions and charge at them. Stand your ground. If you attack your opponent when he is down, you can seriously injure him or her. This could result in potential legal trouble. The only time you should fight is to defend yourself.   Seek only to deflect your opponents moves. Use your hands to block punches and kicks. Do not do things like punch, kick, or otherwise lash out at your opponent. Seek only to push your opponent off of you to avoid injury. You want to make sure you are protected. If you're hurt in a vulnerable area, you may flinch or cry out in pain. This can break your confidence, and could even result in you becoming physically injured.  Block any attacks aimed at the eyes, ears, nose, neck throat, genitals, or knees. Getting hurt these areas can cause serious injury and lead you to lose. Always keep your arms up in a fighting stance. Your fists will protect your face while your arms will keep your neck and chest safe. Watch your opponent's moves closely. Try to predict where he or she will strike and be ready to protect yourself as necessary. Your tone of voice can also portray confidence. You do not want to sound scared, intimidated, or hysterical, so pay attention to your tone of voice if you speak during the fight.  Keep an even tone if you need to talk. Do not talk too slowly or too softly. Avoid nervous words like "um." Talk in a clear tone. Mumbling can make you sound nervous. Strong emotions like panic can make you appear nervous. If you start to get nervous, you will display body language and a tone of voice that conveys fear. It can be very difficult to stay calm in a fight, but it's important to remain calm if you want...

Article in English: If you begin to date, know that you have to keep work first no matter what.  Regardless of if you’ve had an argument the night before, keep that out of the workplace.  Keep a schedule and a to do list and continue to complete all assignments well and on time. Keep your conversations at work completely business related. If you have only been on a date or two with this person, there is little need to inform your coworkers or your boss about it.  But if you have began to see them more regularly, then you should tell your supervisor before someone else does. The person you are dating might be someone who you have to work with very closely.  When in meetings with them, keep the door or blinds open.  You do not want others to assume that you are being inappropriate in your office. Avoid spending unnecessary time alone together while at work.  Go to lunch together occasionally, but not everyday.  Continue to maintain your friendships with your other coworkers. Though you may want to hug or kiss your partner at work, know that doing so could do some damage to your professional reputation.  It is okay for others to know that you are dating, but keep things at the workplace strictly professional. Don’t discuss squabbles, sex, or any other major details about your relationship with your coworkers.  You do not want others knowing too much about your romantic relationship and you don’t want them knowing things about your partner that they wouldn’t want you to tell. Don’t ask them to put a good word in with your supervisor.  Instead, rely on your merit and work hard to achieve what you want.  You will feel better about yourself and your partner will be proud of you. If you want to send your partner cute messages throughout the day, do so through your cell phone.  Any correspondence sent through email may be monitored and could be potentially be used in a sexual harassment lawsuit should your relationship go sour.  Use only your personal devices for personal messages. If you break up, do not date another coworker,...

Article in English: If you begin to experience pain associated with back labor, ask your partner, birthing coach, or anyone else who may be in the room with you to give you a back massage. This can help ease some of the pain associated with back labor.  Have your partner apply counter pressure to your lower back with a balled up fist. Rolling something along the back, like a tennis ball, can also help.  The double hip squeeze is a massage position that many women find helpful during back labor. Lean forward and have two people apply pressure to your hips. Moving during labor can help ease the pain of back labor. This could also improve fetal position, making back labor less acute. Most hospitals will let you walk in the hallways during labor, provided there are no specific complications related to your pregnancy that would make walking difficult. Shifting how you are sitting during labor can help shift fetal position and ease the pain of back labor.  If possible, try straddling a chair and leaning forward slightly. You could also kneel against a pile of pillows or, if available, a birthing ball.  You can also get on your hands and knees temporarily as this eases pressure on the spine, a major contributor to the pains and discomforts of back labor.  Try lying on your side instead of your back when lying down as this can help change your baby's position and ease pains of back labor. Applying heat to the back, hips, and sides can help soothe pains associated with back labor.  You can use a heating pad, as long as your hospital allows this and there is somewhere in the labor room to plug it in.  You can also bring in a homemade hot compress. You can usually just apply warm water to a towel until it's damp and apply it to the area that's experiencing pain. A nurse may be able to provide a compress for you.  Cold also helps ease the pain. If applying heat is not working, try an ice pack or a cold, damp towel.

Article in English: If you believe in yourself, so will others. And it goes deeper than that—if you like yourself, you will treat yourself well, which translates to treating others well.  Practice becoming aware of your thoughts and beliefs when you encounter situations that make you feel bad. When you identify negative self-talk, challenge it. Do things like using hopeful statements, forgiving yourself, focusing on the positive, and encouraging yourself. You are much less likely to feel insecure with someone who understands you. You can generally tell when you have a genuine connection with someone. If someone finds you odd, they may criticize you and increase your feelings of insecurity. Ask yourself questions. Does this person make fun of my quirks? Do their facial expressions seem genuine or fake? Is this someone who will laugh with me or laugh at me? If you don't know yourself, no one else will be able to know you either. Start a habit of quiet time each day to explore your thoughts. This practice will also boost your self-esteem. Try doing some writing exercises and think about what your responses reveal about your values. Some writing exercises that may help you include:  Reflecting on an amazing experience. Think of a time when you felt really happy. What was the experience? Why did you feel so good? What does the experience reveal about you? Identifying what upsets you. What things make you really mad? What things annoy you? What are your pet peeves? List everything that upsets you, from major things to minor things and try to identify why these things are upsetting to you. Think about what you are good at. What do people tend to compliment you on? What do you think you do best? Figure out what activities or things are important to you. What do you like to do for fun? What things are precious to you? Even though sometimes it's uncomfortable to talk to new people, part of overcoming your insecurities is facing your fears. Answer phone calls, text messages, and emails within a day or so no matter how much a person...

Article in English: If you believe it is time to discuss furthering your relationship then feel free to be open about wanting to make it a steady thing. After a few weeks, say you would like it if the two of you could see one another regularly. This will give you a good indication of the worth or risk of continuing before you get in too deep and get your hopes up too high. Avoid using intimidating conversation starters such as, "we need to talk" or "can I ask you something". You want to approach the situation as casually as possible. A good alternative would be "I have really enjoyed my time with you and I wanted to see if our feelings are mutual." This doesn't mean he wants anything to end. This just means he might not be as ready for a solid relationship as you are. But, that doesn't necessarily mean it won't happen. Everyone has a different dating history and his could result in him just needing to take time in gaining trust. Your reaction could be the ultimatum if he does want to continue or if he decides maybe it's time to end it. If he says that he is not ready for a relationship yet but still wants to see you, you shouldn't feel rejected and instead reply with "That is great and I would really like to keep getting to know you as well!" Your confidence will be reassuring and help him relax and get comfortable to continue with your date. The next level is where you start to spend more time together and really begin to understand each other in greater detail. Remember, this is still the beginning and you don't want to make it more than what it really is. The most important thing in relationships is to continue having fun. Nothing needs to be really serious until it is time. But, until then, continue to make things fun, new and exciting. Do all those intriguing and flirtatious things you did when you first starting dating, don't stop just because you are in the next level of your relationship. Keep things exciting with new ideas or weekly events. Plan a day of the week to be reserved specifically for an exciting date, no...

Article in English: If you believe that your dog is underweight, you need to begin keeping track of the dog’s weight so that you can track the dog’s weight loss, and then his weight gain as you implement weight-gaining strategies.  Be sure to share this information with your vet. You need to be sure that there is nothing causing your dog’s weight loss that needs medical attention. Your dog may have an illness or parasite that isn’t immediately obvious to you that your vet will be able to determine. Illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, hepatitis and inflammatory bowel disease may manifest as weight lost, but require additional treatments and medications. Therefore, a pet with an undiagnosed condition will not improve with food alone. In fact, they will get much worse without proper treatment. Talk to your vet about using body conditioning scoring (BCS) to help objectively assess whether your pet is too thin, too heavy or just right. A sample chart can be seen here. If your dog seems underweight based on the BCS, you should talk to your vet about an approach to help your dog gain weight.  In general, your dog is at a healthy weight if you can see their waist, you can feel their ribs when petting their sides without actually seeing the outline of the ribs and their belly curves upward to meet their hips.  If you can easily see most or all of the ribs, the backbone or hip bones, your dog is likely too thin. Some breeds, like Greyhounds, and some hunting and herding dogs (Border Collies, Pointers) tend to be leaner than other breeds like Mastiffs and Labrador Retrievers. It is best to have your vet do a fecal test for intestinal parasites, but if you are unable to do that, you can diagnose and treat your dog for worms from home. A dog that has an intestinal parasite infection may be underweight because the parasite is sapping the nutrition out of the dog’s food before the dog is able to process it. A dog’s weight is related to his overall health, and part of your dog’s health is getting adequate gentle exercise.  Make sure to consult...

Article in English: If you believe the world is a bad place, you will probably tend to have a negative attitude. As such, if you can work on changing your beliefs about the world, your attitude will likely follow suit.  Also remember that beliefs tend to be quite subjective and there are multiple ways of looking at the same thing. So, try to look for evidence that runs contrary to the belief that you hold. For example, if you believe the world is a bad place, you might spend a couple hours researching all the ways in which people help each other in times of need. Your negative ideas about the world may cause you to act a certain way and this can determine the outcome of some situations. Your negative ideas may even start to take the form of predictions and, each time one of your predictions comes true, your negative views are reinforced. This is known as a self-fulfilling prophecy. An example of a self-fulfilling prophecy is if you think that the world is a cold, mean place and so you are cold and mean to people. As a result, people may be cold and mean to you in return. You might then interpret their actions as being in line with your view of the world, which reinforces your attitude. You have a lot of control over the way you think about the world. Try to keep that in mind and use it to your advantage. Ultimately, you are responsible for your attitude and cannot blame how you think on others or on your situation. Remember that although you may not be able to change your circumstances sometimes, you can still change how you react to them by adopting one kind of attitude over another. In some sense, much of reality is subjective, such as whether you enjoy what you are doing or not. This depends in large part on the thoughts that you emphasize and focus on.   For example, if you do not much enjoy your job, you might think with a bad attitude "This really sucks and is pointless." However, you could also take a more positive attitude toward the exact same situation and think "It is pretty amazing that I can do a task and get money...

Article in English: If you believe you are experiencing an allergic reaction to antibiotics, seek medical help immediately, no matter how severe your symptoms are. Many allergic reactions are confined to skin rashes and will not result in any complications, but it's important to talk to your doctor about any reaction. Some rashes can be caused by Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a severe complication that needs hospitalization. Other rashes are a precursor to anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening if not treated. Seek immediate medical assistance if you experience:  Fever Sore throat/mouth, with or without a cough Facial swelling Tongue swelling Skin pain Rashes and/or blisters Hives Difficulty breathing or tightness in the throat An abnormally hoarse voice Hives or swelling Nausea or vomiting Abdominal pain Dizziness or fainting Rapid heartbeat Feelings of doom If you're experiencing any allergic reactions to an antibiotic, you must discontinue using that medication, and avoid all exposure to it. Exposure can happen accidentally, so it's important to take preventative action.  Tell healthcare workers about your allergy any time you are receiving medical treatment of any kind. Ensure that this is included in your medical records for future reference, but don't ever assume medical personnel have seen the chart or know of your allergy. It is your responsibility to communicate your allergies when being treated. Wear a medical alert bracelet. These bracelets can be invaluable, especially if you ever require emergency care while unconscious. It alerts healthcare workers about your allergy in times when you cannot communicate your allergy.  You may want to carry an epinephrine auto-injector (commonly called an "Epipen"). This is typically only needed for people susceptible to anaphylaxis, but your doctor may recommend that you have one if your allergies are severe. In most cases, if you have a known allergy, your doctor will prescribe an alternative drug. In some very isolated cases where benefit outweighs the risk, and there are no...

Article in English: If you believe you have social anxiety, go see your doctor. Many doctors will work with you to make your visit as easy and anxiety-free as possible. Some may discuss your condition with you over the phone, while others may give you an appointment time before or after business hours. Speak with your doctor so you can start taking steps to helping your phobia. If your social anxiety is too bad to manage on your own, consult a professional. Therapy may be key to overcoming social anxiety. A therapist can help you with Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), which teaches you a different way of thinking, behaving, and reacting to social situations. It can help you feel less anxious and fearful. CBT helps you learn how to manage physical symptoms through relaxation and breathing, replace negative thoughts with more balanced ones, and gradually face social situations. In group therapy situations, you undergo CBT in a group setting. This includes role-playing, social skills training, acting, video taping, and mock interviews. These exercises are supposed to help you face situations that would make you anxious in the real world and prepare for them. A support group is different than group therapy because it's aimed at helping you gain support you need during your recovery. Support groups can help you not feel isolated with your anxiety. You can look for support groups in your areas. Try a CBT based self-help app like Joyable. https://joyable.com/. This app pairs cognitive techniques, education, and a personal coach to help you through social anxiety. Sometimes medication can be used to help with the symptoms of social anxiety, but medicine will not cure it. As soon as you stop the medication, symptoms such as anxiety will return. Medicine is generally used alongside therapy and self-help techniques. Common medications used are Beta blockers for performance anxiety that help the physical symptoms of anxiety, antidepressants, and benzodiazepines.

Article in English: If you believe your burn is infected, see your doctor immediately for treatment. They will prescribe you medication and give you instructions to care for the wound at home. If the doctor determines that the infection is severe, you may need treatment at a hospital.  Signs that the burn is infected include:  Fever Increased pain Redness and swelling Drainage of pus from the wound A red streak around the burn area   If you see signs of infection, get medical care right away. An infection can develop into a serious, and sometimes life-threatening, condition. The type of bacteria, fungus, or virus infecting your wound determines your course of treatment. Your doctor may swab the wound and send the sample to the lab to get a wound culture. This will allow them to the organism causing the infection and determine the best antibiotic to prescribe. Your doctor is more likely to order this test if your infection is severe or chronic, or to evaluate the current course of treatment. Most burns are treated with topical creams or gels that are applied directly to the wound. Which medication you use depends on what type of bacteria, fungus, or virus is infecting your wound, but common ones include Silvadene cream, mafenide acetate, and silver sulfadiazine.  You shouldn’t use silver sulfadiazine if you have an allergy to sulfa. In that case, bacitracin-zinc ointment is a possible alternative. Oral medication, such as pills, are rarely prescribed for burns. Instead, you will apply the cream to the infection once or twice a day. Silver helps prevent the spread of infection, reduces inflammation, and has antibacterial properties. While your doctor may prescribe a cream with silver in it, you may also be given dressings made with silver, such as ACTICOAT, to cover your wound under the care of a wound specialist.  This dressing should be changed every three to seven days.  Closely follow all of your wound specialist’s instructions for applying and removing the dressing.

Article in English: If you belong to a particular religion, you may wish to keep your altar decorated with figurines and holy objects related to it. Some make altars dedicated with a particular purpose, such as healing or meditation, and decorate it with objects that represent those from many cultures.  As a simple, nondenominational example, you could build an altar representing the four classical elements: fire, air, water, and earth. For other specific examples, see Make a Taoist Altar, Create a Simple Buddhist Shrine, or Set up a Wiccan Samhain Altar. Many altars begin with a cloth to keep the altar surface clean and communicate the intent of the altar. For example, a simple white cloth can help you stay focused and contemplative. A bright, decorated cloth can help raise your spirits, while an outdoor altar could have a cloth with muted autumn colors that don't distract from nature. To continue the example of an altar dedicated to the four classical elements, you could choose four small cloths and lay them next to each other: red (fire), white or light blue (air), dark blue (water), and brown (earth). If you belong to a religion with sacred texts, include a copy on the altar to read for inspiration. Otherwise, consider adding a different book, poem, or other text that is important to you, and will help you reach the mental, emotional, or spiritual state the altar is intended to provide. Orthodox shrines commonly have icons of the saints or other religious figures. Hindu shrines may include figurines of the gods that are being honored. Even if you're not religious, think of artwork you could include that is related to your altar's purpose. Continuing the example of an elemental altar, you could include a charcoal drawing of flames (fire), calligraphy drawn with a bird's quill (air), a watercolor painting of a seascape (water), and a clay statuette (earth). These vary widely depending on the spiritual tradition and personal preference of the altar's builder. You may have many herbs, crystals, and specialized containers if you...

Slice from the rind to the center of the brie with a narrow cheese knife. Keep the slice relatively small, about 1 in (2.5 cm) or less depending on the serving size you desire.  Cutting brie is a lot like cutting apple pie, but making the first cut into a beautiful wheel can be intimidating when you’re a guest. Cut a slice to give guests a sample to go by. When you’re cutting down a wedge of cheese, always cut along the sides from the center to the rind. Don’t cut off the pointed tip, the tastiest part of brie.

Article in English: If you bought the poinsettia during the winter, keep it watered throughout the winter and into spring. Choose a pot that's only slightly larger than the original pot, and repot the poinsettia with a rich potting mix that is high in organic matter. This will give the poinsettia a good head  start for the growing season. Place your potted poinsettia plant near windows that receive bright, but indirect, morning sun. Choose windows that are not drafty to avoid exposing the plants to cold air. Poinsettias need to be kept at a temperature of around 65 degrees and do not handle extreme temperature changes well. If the summer temperature is warm enough and never drops below 65 degrees at night, you may keep the poinsettia outside during the growing season. Place the plant in an area that gets partial shade. Water indoor poinsettias throughout the spring and the growing season whenever the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Add water to the pots slowly, and wait for the soil to absorb the water before adding more. Stop watering when saturation slows, and before excess water pools on the soil's surface. Potted poinsettia need to be fertilized often with a well rounded liquid fertilizer. A 12-12-12 or 20-20-20 compound is best. Repeat fertilization every month. Stop fertilizing in the fall when it is time for the plants to flower. Pinch small growing shoots from poinsettias occasionally throughout the growing season to keep the poinsettia compact and bushy. You can discard the shoots or use them to propagate new plants. Cut back old growth in late fall or early winter to encourage strong new growth the following spring. In the fall, it's time to bring the poinsettia back inside so it doesn't freeze. You must also create a cycle of long uninterrupted nights and short sunny days during the fall and winter to encourage the leaves to change from green to red. Do this for 9 to 10 weeks until flower bracts begin to form on the plant.  Move the poinsettias to an area where they receive total darkness for 14 to 16 hours a...

Article in English: If you bought your broccoli at a commercial grocery store, a thorough rinse is fine. If you grew your own broccoli or bought it at a farm stand, soak the broccoli in salted water for 10 minutes, then rinse it thoroughly. Garden-fresh broccoli is prone to cabbage loopers, a common garden pest. In their larval stage, cabbage loopers are green, approximately 1-inch-long worms. Though they're harmless, they can be a real appetite killer. The worms die in the salt water. The cabbage loopers will float to the top of the surface of the water where you can skim them off and dispose of them. This is the thickest part of the broccoli. The stem of the broccoli is completely edible, but the last inch or so will be a bit tougher and not as tasty. You can eat the stem, or discard part of it. Cut the trunks of each floret, or little bunch of broccoli, until you break the florets into several smaller pieces that are easy to work with. If you're not a fan of the stalks, cut just below the crown. If you want to get more mileage from your broccoli, cut farther down the stalk closer to the main stem of the broccoli bunch. Fill a saucepan with 2 inches (5.1 cm) of water, insert a steamer basket, place a cover on the pan, and place the pan on a burner over medium heat. Bring the water to a boil. Remove the lid from the pan, place the broccoli florets in the steamer basket, and replace the lid on the pan. Allow the broccoli to steam for 3 - 5 minutes, depending on how much broccoli you are cooking. Remove the pan from the burner, and remove the lid immediately. Otherwise, the broccoli will continue cooking and will quickly get soggy. You can serve the broccoli plain, with sauce or seasoning, or you can incorporate it into another recipe.

Article in English: If you bought your fish from a pet store, it is likely to be small and young. Pet stores may not have given the fish adequate nutrition or space as a young fry, meaning that its growth will be stunted for life. You may also be uncertain of the fish's pedigree; a fish typically only grows as large as its parents. If you want to ensure that your fish reaches its full size or sexual maturity, you should try to buy your goldfish from a breeder. Your goldfish's growth may be stunted if it does not have a proper tank. This means that your goldfish may not reach sexual maturity, nor will it reach its full adult size. It is not necessarily the size that does the damage, but the buildup of waste matter in a confined bowl of water. Low oxygen levels in small bowls can also affect your fish's growth. A single common Goldfish should be kept in at least 48 gallons (181.7 L) of water. Add 14 gallons (53.0 L) per each additional fish. A single fancy Goldfish can be kept in 36 gallons (136.3 L) with 12 gallons (45.4 L) per each additional fish. The water temperature should be between 60 degrees F (15 C) up to the mid 70s (23 C). This is particularly important if you want your fish to reach sexual maturity. Poor water conditions are the primary reason why some goldfish have stunted growth and die young.  You should replace about 20% of the tank's water every two weeks to keep the water clean.  A filter in your aquarium will make sure that the water is clean and properly oxygenated.

Article in English: If you break the curse without protecting yourself, it might come back to you. Before breaking the jar (and as a result, the curse), make sure that you are protected with a protection spell, amulet, or at the very least, an incantation. If you have hidden the jar somewhere outside of your own property, take care to ensure that no one sees you retrieving it — especially not the target of your curse. The easiest way to do this safely is to place it in a paper shopping bag, fold the bag closed loosely, and then break the jar gently with a hammer. If you've placed fluids inside the jar put the jar in a paper bag and then a plastic bag before breaking it. Once the jar is broken, seal the paper bag in a heavy plastic bag before placing it in the trash. Be sure to clean up any fluids or bits of glass that may have fallen out of the bag as you smashed the jar.

Article in English: If you break the old window, be extremely careful clearing the shards. Ensure the you sweep up or clear the area with a shop vac and wear gloves. Use a circular saw or a hand saw to make the first cut into the current window frame. This will make it easier to pry out the frame. The frame’s material will determine how difficult this process is. For many frames you may be able to use a simple pry bar to rip out the frame. If the jambs are set in concrete or mortar, chisel some of it away to ease removal. When dealing with metal frames cast in the concrete, it is usually best to leave these in place. Ask your glass fabricator for suggestions. You want the space to be as clear and even as possible before installing the block panel, so remove any leftover caulking and clear the space of any debris.

Article in English: If you bring home clothes from a thrift store, wash them immediately in very hot water. You can also run them through a hot dryer. The process should kill off any bed bugs in the clothes. It may be tempting to take home what seems to be a perfectly good couch on the curb. However, furniture can harbor bed bugs, and you could be bringing them into your home. If you buy a used mattress, make sure it has been professionally cleaned first. To be on the safe side, you can encase the mattress and box springs in dust-mite covers to keep the bed bugs from biting at night. Before settling in, check your hotel room for bed bugs by inspecting the mattress and the area around the bed. Keep your luggage as far away from the bed as possible. You can use the luggage rack for your suitcase, especially if it is away from the bed. Try not to leave your luggage on the floor. When you return from travelling, immediately wash all the clothes you took on the trip on a hot temperature. Also, leave your suitcase in the garage if possible. If you have bed bugs, you may need to throw out furniture in bedding. Before doing so, you should slash up the pieces, so that other people will not take them. You should also consider leaving a note with the items for the same reason.

Article in English: If you broke the plastic part of your lighter then you'll need a new one. The pressure is compromised and you won't be able to use it anymore. If you've left a lighter outside for a long period of time the metal wheel on top might be rusted in place. If it won't spin, it won't light. If there is only dirt and debris inside the lighter you might be able to clean it out with your fingers or a pipe cleaner and get it going again. Luckily the most common problem with these lighters is their incredibly small fuel tank. When this no longer holds enough fuel or enough pressure, it needs to be refilled.  The most prone to mechanical and/or internal failure would be the non-reusable Bic lighters. If there is no spark, that means that there is no flint. The flint is the piece of equipment that the wheel rubs against to create a spark. The spark lights the fuel and gives you a flame, so the flint is extremely important. If the flame burns out then you could be running out of fuel. However, if you just recently bought the lighter there might be an issue with the fuel reaching the spark.

Article in English: If you broke up with your girlfriend/boyfriend for someone else, wait a little while before you date someone else. If you break up with your former boyfriend/girlfriend and get a new one in the same day, people will talk, and not in a good way. Wait for a week to pass, then slowly move on the next one.

Don't initiate communication with them or they may think you're still interested in them. If you want to keep them as a friend. After you break up with them, give them some time, like a day or two. Then, initiate communication with them every now and then, that way they'll think that you're still their friend, but that you're not trying to run back to them. If you start talking about how bad a relationship was, word of mouth(the rumor mill, snitches) will get around and more drama than you can imagine will come as a result. Don't talk about it unless you really feel as though it's time to talk to someone about it, and even then, let that someone not be a friend of the ex you're talking about, Just because you're not boyfriend/girlfriend status anymore doesn't mean you can't be friends. Even though it may seem awkward to have an ex as a friend, as long as you don't bring up your past relationship with them, you can be friends.

Article in English: If you brought reusable bags with you, don’t use them to carry your groceries: most stores prefer that you use the carts or hand-baskets.  Make sure you don’t crush smaller, delicate, or fresh produce items with larger items as you shop. If you're using a cart, use the upper section near the handle for delicate things like fruit and eggs. The produce section is where you'll find all the fresh fruits and vegetables on your list, such as apples, oranges, bananas, lettuce, carrots, and other produce items.  While each fruit and vegetable has a different indicator of ripeness, you generally want to look for firm fruits and vegetables that aren't bruised, dented, or otherwise damaged.  Try to buy fruits and vegetables in all colors to ensure you're getting the maximum vitamins and nutrients from your food. Remember that fresh produce won’t last as long as frozen, so only buy what you and your family will eat over the next week or so. If you want to purchase fresh or specialty meat or seafood items, line up at the various counters. Wait your turn in line if there is one, and when it’s your turn, the person behind the counter will ask if you need help.  Don’t be afraid to ask questions about the products. You can even ask for samples if you aren't sure you'll like something.  Remember that meat and seafood have short shelf lives if they aren't frozen, so only buy what you'll be able to eat. The bakery section is where you'll find items like bread, buns, and baked desserts like pies and cookies. Depending on your grocery store, you may even find fresh pizza dough, bread crumbs, crackers, and other baked goods in this department.  Sometimes, bakery departments will bake their own bread, and these loaves are often uncut. If you want the loaf sliced, take it to the bakery counter and ask them to slice it. Many bakery departments also make fresh cakes that are baked to order, and you can have these customized and decorated for birthdays and other events. Talk to the people behind the bakery counter to find out what...

Article in English: If you buy a commercial dog food, make sure it contains the proper balance of nutrients. You may want to ask your vet to recommend a product and dosage specific to your dog. A nutritionally-rich diet is important in maintaining the health and condition of your dog's coat. If you choose to make your own dog food, talk with the vet about making sure it's got the right balance of vitamins and minerals. Making your own dog food at home is a great way to be completely sure of what you're feeding your dog. Look for an omega-6 supplement or consider adding safflower or sunflower oil to your dog's food. If adding the oil, give 1 teaspoon a day to a small dog or 1 tablespoon a day for a large dog. Avoid giving too much, since it could cause diarrhea. You may also want to give omega-3 fatty acids, which have a greater anti-inflammatory effect. These are found in flaxseed and fish oils. Regardless of the supplement you choose, always follow the packaging for dosage instructions.  Omega fatty acids can reduce the itchy skin of dogs with allergies, since they have natural anti-inflammatory effects. They also nourish the cells that are developing at the deepest layer of your dog's skin. It will take at least 28 days for these skin cells to become the top layer and reveal an extra plush coat, so don't stop supplementing before that time. regularly.

Be sure to use dog brushes and combs, since they're designed to remove tangles, mats, dead skin cells, and dander. You'll need to look for tools that are best suited to your dog's fur. Always brush with the lie of the fur to distribute the natural oils through the hair and use a comb to get rid of tangles.  Grooming also improves the oxygen supply to your dog's skin. This can improve the health and look of your dog's coat. You may want to rub a dry leather chamois over your dog's coat to buff and polish it. with the proper shampoo.

Article in English: If you call up a shy girl out of the blue, it's possible that she'll give you an excuse to avoid going out. This isn't because she doesn't like you, but because introverted or shy-types like to have their plans in place. Shy girls need a chance to get ready mentally for a date.  If it's 4:30 on a Friday night and a shy girl doesn't have plans, she's probably looking forward to a quiet night at home. Make your plans ahead of time to give her enough opportunity to prepare. In general, try to make plans at least 1-2 days ahead of time at least. It's good to plan an activity for a date with a shy girl, so you'll have something to do together. If conversation is going to be hard, try to pick an activity that'll let her loosen up and have a good time, without having to do a lot of talking.  Going for a bike ride, bowling, or playing mini golf might seem like silly ways to go on a date, but it's a good way to keep yourself active and busy. You'll have a fun shared experience. Dinner is a good opportunity to talk, but it might end up being pretty awkward if you have a hard time talking together. Alternatively, movies mean you can't talk at all. Not the best choices. Make sure whatever you do is quiet enough for her to talk if she wants to. If you go to a booming club with loud electronic music, you'll never be able to talk. Shy girls aren't generally big partiers. If you ask a shy girl if she wants to go to a big dance, or to the football game, or to a loud dance club, don't be offended if she'd rather stay in and watch Netflix on the couch with you. Make the time that you're together special, even if you're not doing something that sounds like a date. Cook dinner together, instead of going out to a fancy new restaurant. This gives you the chance to do an activity that will get you talking, even if you're just talking about the chicken and rice dish you're making together. Shy girls are often intimidated by large groups, but you can always ask her about her preferences. While it might sound great to you to hang out...

Article in English: If you can afford to do so, look into weekly training courses led by professional animal trainers. Many pet stores offer affordable courses for dogs and their owners. The main benefit of taking these classes is exposure to tried and true training methods; this makes this option ideal for new pet owners.  Obedience school sessions can only give you the tools with which to train your dog yourself. Do not think of this as a substitute for doing the work of training; you must work with your dog outside the classroom regularly in order to see results. If you do not already know of training classes near you, search Craigslist or other online community boards for information about local dog obedience courses. Although some experts differ on their opinions of the best way to train a dog, many argue that positive reinforcement is the key to success. To do this, you must use a system of rewards to teach your dog that what he is doing is good. These can be doggy snacks, physical affection, verbal praise (such as exclaiming "good boy!"), or a combination of these things.  For positive reinforcement to work, you must deliver the reward as quickly as possible following the good behavior. If you wait too long between your dog's action and the reward, he won't make the connection between the two. Many people find that using a clicker (a small device that makes a 'click' sound when squeezed) helps dogs associate their good behavior with rewards. Clicker training manuals and equipment can be found at your local pet store or online. There are lots of books out there devoted to the subject of dog training. These range from basic 'starter manuals' to in-depth analyses of pet psychology. In order to keep things as simple as possible for you and your dog, start out with a guide of some sort with tips you can clearly identify and follow. Be sure to find a book written by an expert on animal behavior. Check the credentials of the author by searching his or her name online. If your dog spends all night and most of the day in a crate...

Article in English: If you can become more empathetic, you’ll be able to better understand other people. You can strengthen your character by being able to relate to others and helping them. Try to imagine what someone else is going through. For example, maybe your friend recently lost a sibling. Think about how that might feel and how you would react. Try to think about what you could do to make your friend feel better. You can also take this further and actually experience what the other person is dealing with. For example, maybe your partner is frustrated because they do all of the cooking. Try taking over dinner duty for the week so that you can understand why they feel stress. Most people have assumptions or even prejudices against others. These might be conscious or unconscious. For example, maybe you think that people who haven’t graduated from college are not intelligent. Try to train your brain to be more open minded and accepting of others.  Take note of your prejudices. When you find yourself making assumptions, make a mental note. Being aware of bias is the first part in addressing it. Next time you have these thoughts, work to actively change your mindset. Instead of thinking, “That person must not be smart,” think, “Wow, they managed to get a good job despite not have a college degree. That’s pretty impressive.” Gratitude is an important part of character strength because it demonstrates an awareness of the people and things around you. You can develop gratitude by intentionally making it part of your everyday life. For example, you can end each day by thinking of 3 things that you are grateful for.  You can also try keeping a gratitude journal where you write down things that you are grateful for. You could make notes throughout the day or devote 10 minutes each evening to journaling. You could write, “Today I was given an opportunity to volunteer at the animal shelter. I’m grateful that I was able to do something constructive on this Saturday morning.” You can also turn your gratitude outwards. Make it a point to...

Article in English: If you can catch a spill before it soaks in, you may be able to prevent a stain. A quick wipe with a paper towel or cloth will take care of most small spills.  Don't rub the spill into the fabric; dab it lightly so it won't soak in. Sprinkle baking soda over larger spills. When it dries, run a vacuum over it. Choose a spot on the bottom or back of your furniture; you never know if a stain-removal method might damage or cause discoloration to your fabric. Soak a cloth or piece of cotton in rubbing alcohol and gently rub the stain until it is removed.  Hand wipes containing alcohol are useful for this purpose. You can also use vodka if you don't have rubbing alcohol in the house. Just be sure not to use a liquid that isn't clear. Wet a cloth with vinegar and rub the stain until it is removed. To prevent the vinegar smell from lingering, wash the microsuede with water or solvent-based solution, whichever your microsuede requires, after applying the vinegar. Use a concentrated amount of the cleaning solution approved by your microsuede manufacturer. Spray the stained area liberally and scrub with a brush until the stain is removed.

Article in English: If you can connect a phone, tablet, or computer to the network and access the webpage that you're having trouble with on your primary device, the issue is definitively with the device and not the router.  Not being able to connect with the second device doesn't necessarily mean that the router is the problem. This is one of the quickest ways to test your DNS connections. Download a different free browser such as Firefox or Chrome and attempt to connect to the internet; if the problems persist, you can rule out browser problems as the reason for your DNS server not responding. If the issues are resolved, uninstalling and then reinstalling your old browser will likely fix the problem. This will clear your router's cache and thus may resolve DNS errors. To do so:  Unplug your modem's power cable as well as your router's power cable. Allow both your modem and your router to sit for at least 30 seconds. Reconnect your modem and wait for it to come back online. Reconnect your router to your modem and wait for it to come back online. If you're already using Ethernet, skip this step.  If you can connect to a web page while using Ethernet, the problem may stem from your router. You'll most likely need to reset it. If you can't connect to a web page while connected via Ethernet, your DNS settings may be the problem.

Article in English: If you can create vivid images to associate with a date, you will have a much easier time remembering it. The more ridiculous, silly, and strange the image, the better!  For example, if you are trying to remember the date 1732, the year in which George Washington was born, every time you think of that date, imagine a small boy wearing a Washington-type wig and chopping down a cherry tree while saying “I cannot tell a lie!” Similarly, you could also imagine a person dressed as George Washington “making it rain” with $1,732 dollars in one-dollar bills (which feature a portrait of Washington on the front). You can create very strong associations by actively using your body when trying to memorize dates. Pacing while you study, creating hand motions to learn along with certain dates, and even singing out dates can all improve your memory. For instance, you could:  Raise your arm up dramatically like a Roman orator when trying to remember the date 44 BC, the year in which the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar was assassinated. Memorize dates by singing them to the melody of your favorite song. If you can group the dates you need to learn in any meaningful way, you will have a much greater chance of memorizing them. This is because it is very difficult to memorize a set of unconnected bits of information. As you spend time each day practicing the dates you need to remember, look for ways to classify and organize them. For instance:  If you are learning a set of historical dates, make a timeline as you seek to memorize them. This helps to put the dates in some kind of relation to each other, and to show logical connections between them. The more you can contextualize the dates, the more meaning they will have to you; the more meaning they have, the greater your chances of remembering them. If you are learning birthdates of your family members, map them out on a family tree that you draw out. As you practice memorizing the dates each day, you can visualize “climbing” the family tree to recall all of the dates. You can...

Article in English: If you can do something, do it. If you don't need help, don't ask for it. Taking more responsibility for your life and becoming accountable for yourself is the right and responsibility of a life lived freely. Volunteer for things that fall in your wheelhouse, and take on projects that might challenge your abilities, so you can improve yourself and your work.  Try to actively expand the list of things you can do by yourself. While it's true you can take your car into the shop every time a light goes out, you'll save money and become more self-reliant if you learn to perform a basic tune-up. Alternatively, it's also good to accept help and learn to recognize when you need it. Being self-reliant doesn't mean being foolish and ignorant of your abilities. If you don't know how to change your car tire, learn how, so you can become more free and less reliant on others in the future. But in the moment, be honest with yourself. Identify the things you want and the things that you need to live your ideal life to help create perspective. "Needs" include anything necessary to sustain a comfortable life. This includes food, shelter, and basic health care. "Wants" might include travel funds, books and movies, or whatever it is that would improve your quality of life.  Ideally, if you think about these things as a Venn diagram, they should look as close as possible like a single circle, overlapping almost entirely if you've structured your life in an ideal way. If what you need and what you want line-up, you'll be living the happy and free life you want to lead. What might you change to realign the diagram?  Try to create a budget to account for all your needs and as much want as possible to live sustainably. The less you have to worry about money--the less you have to think about it at all--the better off and the more free you'll be. . Student loans and credit card debt will keep you under a heavy curtain of debt that makes it very difficult to live by your own hand. If you're beholden to debtors, can you be truly free?...
