Article in English: Make a column of times on the left side of the page and a row of days of the week at the top. Begin with those activities that need to be done at a certain time every day. Based on your assessment above, slot in tasks based on the time you think it makes the most sense to tackle them. Also be sure to give yourself a break or several throughout the day. Hourly time frames are generally large enough. However, it can take time to get into the flow state required by some tasks so you may need 90 minute or even two hour blocks. Don’t forget to schedule in 30 minute tasks as well. Be careful of the tendency to wedge yourself in too tight. To create bigger blocks of time, you can merge cells together. It's difficult to predict how long each activity will take. So make sure your schedule can bend easily in one direction or another when need be. You also want to factor in a small buffer of time for unexpected delays. Also, don't fall into the trap of using your relaxation time as a "buffer" zone. Relaxation time should not be seen as a luxury; it should be treated as important as any other activity. It is generally helpful to print multiple copies -- put one on your refrigerator, one in your bedroom and one in the bathroom. Underline or highlight important activities. Use a different color marker for the separate areas in your life. You could use yellow for work, red for exercise, blue for school and so on. This way you’ll get a good sense of how your day is planned just by glancing at it. If there’s a lot of blue, for instance, you’ll know that you’re overloaded with school right now.

Article in English: Make a conscious, sustained effort to maintain a bubble around yourself that your ex can't pass into. If you're still in contact, make it clear to her that you're breaking off contact so you can take the time you need to heal. Tell her not to call or text you, since you won't respond.  There's no need to be rude or insulting when you tell her this. Being polite but distant is a better approach, as it demonstrates that you aren't doing it just to get a rise out of her. If she asks how long this change will be in effect, tell her it will take as long as it takes. There's no way to put a strict date on when you'll be able to be around her without feeling upset again. Sometimes it's only for a month or two; in rare cases, it could be for the rest of your life. Be true to your word. Don't call, text, e-mail, or write her back if she contacts you, unless you have a life-and-death reason for doing so. It will hurt when she realizes she can't lean on you anymore, but she'll be better off for it in the long run. If you possibly can, try to make adjustments to your schedule so that you avoid having to see each other any more than necessary.  If you work together, ask your scheduling manager if you can change your weekly schedule. You don't need to tell him or her about the breakup; just ask for different shifts. If you have classes together, be civil in class, but ask the teacher if there's any way you can move your seat to be farther from where she sits. Take care of yourself by pursuing the experiences you've always wanted to have. Aside from obvious (and expensive) activities like road trips and skydiving, don't forget to indulge the more mundane things, as well: visiting every park in the city, seeing what happens to a penny left on the railroad tracks, singing karaoke, finding the oldest headstone in the local cemetery. A penny on the railroad tracks won't derail a train, in case you're worried. Fill your free time with steady progress and small victories instead of stewing in your sadness and anger. Use the lists...

Article in English: Make a cut down the center of the tomato. Try to keep the two halves roughly the same size. Make a series of three to four length-wise cuts across each half of your tomato. This should cut your tomato into quarters. Each quarter should be roughly the same size. Place each quarter on a table or cutting board with the skin side facing downward. Slice a knife across the tomato to cut out the white, fleshy portion of the tomato. The seeds are attached to this portion, so they will be sliced out as well. Sometimes, seeds linger on the tomato after you cut out of the fleshy portion. If any seeds did not come out, remove them with your fingertips. Roma tomatoes are very small and delicate. They tend to have less seeds and the seeds can be difficult to remove without damaging the tomatoes. It's usually okay to leave the seeds of Roma tomatoes intact.

Article in English: Make a darker environment by covering your eyes with the edge of your hood or a scarf. If you don’t have any clothing to cover them with, hold your head in your hand with your palm covering your eyes. This will create a dimmer, sleep-friendly environment. It can be helpful to prop your elbow on a firm surface, such as an armrest, to give your head extra support as you sleep. Note whether you’re too hot, too cold or just right. If you feel warm, remove a layer so you’re more comfortable. If you feel cold, take a layer out of your carry-on and put it on, so you can rest easier. A scarf or travel jacket can double as a blanket. Often covering your arms and torso will make your whole body feel warmer. It also feels a bit more like being home with a blanket, which can be comforting. Block out loud announcements and create some ambient noise for yourself by using headphones. You can listen to music or do a guided meditation to help yourself fall asleep faster. There are many free apps on your phone that can help you relax and fall asleep quickly, such as Deep Sleep and Relax Free. Set an alarm for at least half an hour before boarding. Even delayed flights can get back on schedule if mechanical or other issues are resolved. Ensure that your phone is charged, and err on the side of caution by waking up too early, rather than right before boarding completes. If you’re the type to sleep through an alarm, set a few to make sure you don’t just hit snooze and miss your flight.

Article in English: Make a few little changes so she'll have a jaw-drop moment when you guys get together to hang out. Get a new outfit of clothes, get a haircut, and groom yourself. Make sure you're smelling good so she'll be able to look on your with different eyes. You want her to think of you as a potential date, not her regular old guy friend. There's no specific way to dress to turn a girl on. Just wear what feels comfortable and what you think makes you look good. Maybe consider dressing up slightly. No ratty b-ball shorts and joke-message t-shirt. Wear a button-down that makes you look good. When you get back together, don't make it all buddy-buddy. Do something different than the way you normally talk to her. If you usually joke around and make crude jokes, have a more serious conversation. Ask her serious questions and open up to her as well. Try complaining about your relationships with other girls. If you want to get her thinking about you differently, try bringing up the subject of dating and see how she reacts. Say, "I've been so unhappy with the girls I've been seeing lately. I just wish I could find someone who got me like you do..." You need to find out if she's attracted to you, or not. If she is, giving her a cooling period should have warmed her up to you considerably. She should be excited to be around you, just as you are excited to be around her. If you get similar vibes form her, then keep moving forward and try to turn her on some more. If you don't, call it quits. It didn't work. Move on.  If she scrunches her face up and looks confused, or continues to punch your arm like the good ol' buddy you are, this might not work. She's giving you signs that you're friends and nothing more. That's ok. But don't keep going and embarrass yourself. If she's looking good and flirting back, it might be ok to move a little farther and see if she likes you enough for a kiss. Move slowly, but keep going. Check her out. Once you've let her cool off for a while, start giving her different sorts of looks. The kinds of looks...

Article in English: Make a fire with your magnifying glass in a location where the fire cannot burn anything else but tinder. Suitable places include a cement sidewalk, an area of dirt with no vegetation surrounding it, or a bricked in fire hole. If you are in the forest don’t have a clear area nearby, you can use the side of your foot to sweep leaves and pine needles off of a patch of soil, and then light the fire on the dirt. If you’re simply experimenting with the power of the magnifying lens, you can extinguish the fire as soon as the tinder has started to flame. Or, if you’re building a fire in a survival setting, extinguish the fire one you’ve finished cooking your meal or heating your campsite. To extinguish the fire, use a shovel to place 4-5 shovelfuls of dirt on the fire. Then douse it with water from a hose or bucket.  Once the fire is out, use your shovel to turn over any smoldering coals and douse them again with water. Make sure that the fire is fully extinguished.

Article in English: Make a fist like you did in the other methods, but then concentrate on just one finger. You may be able to get a louder pop if you dedicate all the pressure to one finger.  With the thumb of your other hand on the finger you're going to crack, hold the hand you're cracking with your other hand. Press down one at a time with your thumb either on top of your finger or pressing down near the tip to crack the top. Instead, put your hands together like you're clapping, similar to a praying position. Your fingers and palms should be touching, mirroring each other. Then, move your palms apart, keeping your fingers pressing together. Press them harder and harder together, moving your palms upward, until you hear your knuckles cracking.  You may need to rotate your hands a bit. Dead on your middle and ring finger should crack, but with a little twist, you can focus on your pointer and pinky fingers. There's two ways you can do this:   Take one hand and wrap it around the finger you want to crack. Then swing that hand while you hold the finger stable. It takes a little time to perfect, but you can get a good crack out of it. You can do it for the top joints, too; just grip a little higher.  Grab the top part of your knuckle with your opposite hand and give it a twist. Basically, instead of twisting your cracking-hand, you twist the hand doing the cracking.

Article in English: Make a folder on your computer, containing the images you want to animate. Each image will be a separate frame of the animation. Alternatively, you can convert a short video into an animated GIF. There are many free online GIF generators, including imgflip, makeagif, and gifmaker. These do not have as many features as GIMP or other image-editing software, but can be used quickly and easily without any downloads or registration. If you are making a GIF from a video file, you probably want to select a small portion of the video, instead of uploading the whole thing. You can easily do this for free by downloading VLC, then following these instructions:  Open VLC, then use File → Open File... to open the video file. Find the beginning of the segment you want to turn into a GIF. Select Playback → Record in the top menu. Play the video until the segment you want to "GIF-ify" is over. Press Record again to stop the recording. The new, smaller file is now saved in the same folder as the original video. Look for an Upload Images link. If you are converting a video, look for an Upload Video link instead. Video upload may take a long time if your internet connection is slow or the video file is large. Uploading no more than a few seconds of video is recommended. These online tools usually let you change the order of the images in the GIF, in case you uploaded them in the wrong order. You may also be able to add text, change the size of the images, and set the animation speed. Look for a Generate GIF, create your gif, pr Create Now link. Your images or video will be turned into a GIF animation. Usually, a list of available options will show up, including links to post the GIF in forums, download it, or embed it in an HTML web page.

Article in English: Make a hole in the middle of the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon and then add the egg. Break the yolk. Do not overbeat, as this would develop the gluten in the flour and prevent the pancakes from rising. Drop large dollops on a lightly-greased, hot griddle or heavy frying-pan. Be sure to flip over and cook a few minutes on each side. If you're making a large batch, place the pancakes on an oven-safe plate, and put it in the oven. Add the pancakes to the plate as they finish cooking. Butter, syrup, fresh strawberries or blueberries, whipped cream; the sky is the limit!

Article in English: Make a home in your toolbox for a glue gun when performing minor indoor repair jobs. Hot glue works especially well on wood and plastic objects in cool, dry conditions. Whether it’s securing a bit of loose panelling or sticking your child’s toys back together, glue guns create a fairly strong, flexible bond that will serve just about any general adhesive task. You should not try to hold moving parts or heavy, precarious objects together using a glue gun. Big jobs should always be carried out by contractors using the proper tools. The next time you’re helping your kids with a school project or putting together homemade holiday decorations, reach for the hot glue gun instead of the Elmer’s. It’s better for larger variety of surfaces, goes on cleaner and won’t cause paper to wrinkle and colors to bleed the way some craft glues do. A small dab of hot glue will help your DIY creations hold up longer. It is difficult to remove hot glue once it has set up. Make sure that the measurements, angles and dimensions of your craft project are perfect before gluing it down. Hem an ill-fitting pair of pants with a ring of hot glue, or use it to reattach a button that’s popped off. Unlike many types of bonding materials, hot glue is actually quite successful on fabrics. It will work best, however, on parts of clothing like buttons, zippers and other functional features. Though it might not provide the permanency of stitching or tailoring, gluing will do the trick for small alterations if you have no other alternative.  Repeated washings will eventually deteriorate glue that is used on clothing, especially in warm water. Use hot glue to secure patches, rhinestones and other accessories to clothing. Because of its thick, gel-like consistency, hot glue works better for sticking thin, easily damaged surfaces together than more liquid adhesives like paste and even superglue. Watery glues can be difficult to apply, require longer to take effect and have a higher chance of damaging sensitive materials than hot glue. Hot glue is also...

Article in English: Make a list of all of your best qualities. Maybe you’re good at sticking up for your friends, or you really light up when you talk about something you care about, or you’re a good listener, or you make people laugh. There are many different ways to be attractive. If you’re having trouble thinking of positive things about yourself, ask your friends or family. You can tell your friend what you value most about them, and then ask them what they value about you. The key to feeling confident about yourself isn’t thinking that you’re great at absolutely everything. Instead, remind yourself about the things that you’re good at and accept what you’re not good at. Natural self-confidence and self-love are magnetic.  For example, say to yourself: “I know that I have a hard time in school, but nobody’s perfect. What I’m really good at is being a loyal friend, and that’s a wonderful thing.” Or: “I know that I have trouble with my temper, but I’m always honest and I work hard, and that’s really special.” If you struggle a lot with feelings of self worth, consider talking to a therapist. Every day, take a shower, wear deodorant, and put on clothes you like. You’ll look your best and feel your best if you put in attention to smelling clean and looking well-groomed. If you look like you take good care of yourself, you'll be much more attractive. You’ll look like much more of a catch if you go out and do the things you love. Working on your hobbies is not only personally fulfilling, but it makes you a much more interesting dating-prospect, and you’ll have things to talk about with your crush. Developing your own hobbies can remind you of your own self-worth and boost your confidence. Aim to exercise for about 30 minutes a day. Exercising boosts your physical and mental health, and can make you feel more confident in your body. It also gives you a bunch of endorphins that make you feel happy. There’s no need to be super buff to impress a girl, but working out a reasonable amount shows that you take care of yourself, and makes...

Article in English: Make a list of all the letters found in the first name, then make a separate list of all the letters found in the second name. Put the lists side-by-side but keep them both separate and distinct from one another.  This method is a good way to mix the names of two parents when choosing a baby name, but you can technically use this method with any two names. You can even use this method when you have more than two names to mix. You can write out the letters in the order they appear within each name, or you can rearrange the letters alphabetically. The latter may help you view the letters as separate letters instead of a name.  Example: Consider the names "William" and "Sarah."  The former name uses the letters "a, i, i, l, l, m, w." The latter name uses the letters "a, a, h, r, s." Treat your two name lists like an unscramble puzzle or a game of Boggle. Pull letters from both lists to create a name. Continue until you have formed as many different names as possible.  You do not need to use all of the letters in both names. In fact, you will be able to create far more combinations if you only use a few letters. It may help to have a book of baby names nearby as you do this. There are many names you may not think of when doing this exercise on your own.  Example: Using the letters from “William” and “Sarah,” you could form: Alisa, Iris, Isaiah, Larisa, Lars, Lisa, Liam, Maria, Mariah, Miriam, Wallis, Wilma You may not spot every name possible the first time you run through your two lists. It is a good idea to return to your lists multiple times to see if you can find any new names hidden inside.  Consider asking other people for help, too. Someone else might be able to spot a combination you hadn't noticed yet. If you struggle to form names from your lists, you can also search online for “free name mixers.” When you find a result you like, input both names into the mixer and allow the website to generate a list of possible names from those two original names.   Example: Upon further inspection, you could also use...

Article in English: Make a list of all the reasons you're a great person that have nothing to do with being a part of a couple. Maybe you're super smart, athletic, compassionate about animals, or a talented cook. If your self-worth is heavily connected to the health of your relationship, you could experience doubt even during common challenges. You can battle this by building up your self-esteem. Feeling afraid or unsure isn't great, but some doubt is normal and even healthy. Start a  mindfulness practice to help you learn to embrace or at least tolerate the uncertainty in your relationship and your life.  When these feelings arise, notice them but let them be. Take  deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. Don't try to change the thoughts or act on them. Just sit with them. Perform mindfulness daily and you'll start to feel more in control and less bothered by these worrisome doubts. The opinions of co-workers, friends, and family can lead you to have doubts about your relationship. If a person only ever has negative things to say about your partner or your relationship, take a step back.  Sometimes, your loved ones may offer advice that is well-meaning, but biased or self-serving. Reflect on how you feel with your partner and what you see in their behavior before allowing others’ perspectives to feed your doubt. Be wary of taking advice or discussing your relationship with people who are overly judgmental or critical. Choose open-minded and supportive confidantes. If your language regarding your relationship is rigid, you're more likely to try to push against uncertainty. When you remove these terms from your vocabulary, you can feel more flexible and open-minded about your relationship.  For example, if you think, "He should answer the phone whenever I call," you may be inadvertently making yourself angry if your partner is busy when you call. Don't say "She must be spending Saturday with someone else" simply because your girlfriend didn't try to make plans with you.

Article in English: Make a list of all the things that you find unattractive about the person. Determine which of the traits on your list are changeable. If the person has permanent traits or behaviors that you don’t like, then you should decide if it’s worth it to start a relationship with them.  Traits like a person’s style, hygiene and manners can be altered over the course of a relationship. Traits relating to a person’s physical attractiveness or personality will be very difficult to change and will likely remain the same throughout the duration of a relationship. The thing that you find unattractive about someone might be something that makes them happy.  Even if they do agree to change it, they might end up resenting you down the line.  However, if they can benefit or grow from changing the traits you find unattractive, then you should let them know.  If someone feels comfortable wearing casual clothes but you are attracted to people that dress in formal wear, then you shouldn’t ask them to change their style to fit your preference. If what turns you off about someone is a bad habit like smoking, then you should tell them.  You may be able to help them improve their health. Make sure that both of you are on the same page.  Let them know exactly how you feel.They may not want to be in a relationship with someone who doesn’t feel immediately attracted to them.Don’t assume that they’re willing to wait for your attraction to grow.Ask them how they feel about the situation and be sure to listen intently to everything they say. Say something like:  “I really enjoy spending time with you but I don’t feel attracted to you at this point.  I’d like us to take some time to get to know each other to see if that changes.  Are you willing to take things slow?” “I think we have a real emotional connection.  I may not feel physically attracted to you yet but sometimes it takes me a while to feel that way.  I’d like to try starting a relationship with you.  What are your thoughts about that?” Tell them if you don’t see the relationship...

Article in English: Make a list of meaningful images, symbols, and words that could serve as potential components of your sleeve. Think of interests, values, and signs that you won’t regret having on your body in the future.   You can look for inspiration in tattoo magazines, like Inked (http://www.inkedmag.com/), or shops’ online portfolios. Keep in mind your sleeve will be a major investment of time and money, and it’ll have more meaning for you if you come up with your own imagery. Sleeve tattoos typically cost hundreds or thousands of dollars and have such a level of detail that getting it done in one sitting is usually impossible. Ask your artist if you can do an entire sleeve at once or if you'll need to break it up into several sessions. Aim to use a single artist to complete the entire sleeve so there is continuity in the images and style. Framing larger images with smaller patterns will lend a sense of composition to your sleeve. Work with your tattoo artist to incorporate the framing motif into your first sleeve tattoo and include it in later additions. Examples could be your birth month’s flower or your favorite flower, vines and leaves, cloud patterns, stars, or waves. These elements can reappear throughout your sleeve and unify its other elements. Choose simple, basic colors that will resist fading and give your sleeve continuity. As you add to your sleeve over time, a unified color scheme will help it become a more intentional, cohesive work of art. Ask your tattoo artist, “Can you suggest colors that are easy to replicate in tattoos I'll add to the sleeve in the future? I want to avoid having multiple shades that might clash or seem mismatched. Which color scheme would work best for my skin tone and fade the least?” A good tattoo artist will help you design your entire sleeve, even if you don't want to get it all done at once. Bring your list of tattoo ideas, which is called a brief, to the artist, and try to be as descriptive as possible in conveying your ideas. Ask the artist to sketch some designs, and consult...

Article in English: Make a list of qualities that you think are important in a partner and in a relationship. This will help you identify what’s most important to you. It will also help you figure out what will make you feel safe and loved. It’s likely that you will be cautious in your new relationship. It can take a while to build trust with someone new in the best of circumstances, and when you have experienced abuse, this process can take a long time. But it’s important that you don’t dive into a relationship too quickly. You need to allow yourself to grow the relationship in a healthy way. You need to make sure you are communicating your needs to your partner. This involves talking to him or her about your triggers. Then you will be able to work together to build a relationship where you feel safe and loved. For example, shouting might trigger your anxiety. In this case, you might ask your partner not to yell when he watches basketball games on TV. When you are entering a new relationship after an abusive one, it can be hard to trust the other person. You may become overly critical and fabricate reasons to break up.  You may even feel like doing something that forces the other person to leave you, such as cheating on him. This action is your way of telling your partner that you’re not worth being with. But this isn’t true. You do have a lot to offer the relationship. When you are building a new relationship, you are relearning ways of interacting. You may have found a kind, gentle person to date. But if you have any contact at all with your abuser, you are reminded of how intimate relationships can be. Surround yourself with loving, healthy relationships. These will serve as good examples for building your own new intimate relationship. If you think your new partner is heading down the path to abuse, you should leave the relationship immediately. It’s better not to give him the benefit of the doubt, given what you’ve already been through.

Article in English: Make a list of several multiples for each denominator in the equation. Each list should consist of the denominator numeral multiplied by 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.  Example: 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/5  Multiples of 2: 2 * 1 = 2; 2 * 2 = 4; 2 * 3 = 6; 2 * 4 = 8; 2 * 5 = 10; 2 * 6 = 12; 2 * 7 = 14; etc.  Multiples of 3: 3 * 1 = 3; 3 * 2 = 6; 3 *3 = 9; 3 * 4 = 12; 3 * 5 = 15; 3 * 6 = 18; 3 * 7 = 21; etc.  Multiples of 5: 5 * 1 = 5; 5 * 2 = 10; 5 * 3 = 15; 5 * 4 = 20; 5 * 5 = 25; 5 * 6 = 30; 5 * 7 = 35; etc. Scan through each list and mark any multiples that are shared by all of the original denominators. After identifying the common multiples, identify the lowest multiple common to all the denominators.  Note that if no common multiple exists at this point, you may need to continue writing out multiples until you eventually come across a shared multiple. This method is easier to use when small numbers are present in the denominator. In this example, the denominators only share one multiple and it is 30: 2 * 15 = 30; 3 * 10 = 30; 5 * 6 = 30  The LCD = 30 In order to change each fraction in the equation so that it remains true to the original equation, you will need to multiply each numerator (the top of the fraction) and denominator by the same factor used to multiply the corresponding denominator when reaching the LCD.  Example: (15/15) * (1/2); (10/10) * (1/3); (6/6) * (1/5) New equation: 15/30 + 10/30 + 6/30 After finding the LCD and changing the fractions accordingly, you should be able to solve the problem without further difficulty. Remember to simplify the fraction at the end. Example: 15/30 + 10/30 + 6/30 = 31/30 = 1 1/30

Next, carve out some time in your schedule so you can start tackling those steps. Soon, you’ll be moving forward in life and leaving her behind. When you find yourself obsessing about someone, it’s often because you feel like you’re missing something in your life. Fortunately, you already have the tools to fix that because you’re the only one who can complete yourself. Adopt new habits to help yourself feel more like the person you want to be. You might try the following:  Spend time on your relationships with family or friends. Do 30 minutes of exercise 5-7 times a week to support your health. Organize your living space. Start a new hobby. Set and pursue a new educational or career goal, like going to college or getting a promotion. Hang out with your female friends or try to make a few new friends. Don’t worry about if you want to pursue them romantically. Just recognize that other girls are out there, and each one is awesome in her own way. This will help you realize that you will find another great girl when you’re ready to look for love again. Don’t compare other girls to the girl you like because you’ll start thinking about her again. Don’t rush to date again because you need time to heal. However, it’s good to open up your heart again when the time is right. When you're ready, ask a new girl on a date or accept her invitation, if she asks first.  Start slowly. When you go on a first date with a new girl you like, take it easy and have fun. Don't talk about the girl you liked before. Otherwise, the girl you’re interested in now might think you’re not ready to date again.

Article in English: Make a list of your current symptoms to take with you to the appointment. Since IAD can be associated with having been ill as a child or other traumatic events, make sure to inform your healthcare provider about your medical history.  Your primary care provider may refer you to a mental health professional for additional treatment. Obviously, the most difficult part of being a hypochondriac is that you constantly feel as if there is something terribly wrong with your body. Ultimately, a trained physician is the only person who can diagnose your symptoms and monitor them for any changes that could require a medical intervention. If you aren’t in regular contact with a doctor, finding one should be your first step. If you suffer from hypochondriasis, it’s likely you’re going to be getting to know your doctor quite well. When you have an appointment, don’t be afraid to ask questions and get as much information as you can.  Be honest about what you are feeling and how you perceive your symptoms, even if you feel embarrassed about them. Give your physician as detailed a medical history as you can. Your doctor needs as much information as possible to offer an accurate diagnosis. Keep an open mind. It’s very possible that both you and your doctor will go through periods of frustration with each other. There may be times when you think certain medical tests are necessary, and your doctor will disagree. There may also be times when your doctor will feel that you do not trust his or her judgment, and you may feel as if your doctor isn’t taking you seriously. If this happens, try to remember that your physician is trying to help you, even though you differ in the perception of your situation.  Follow the treatment plan. If you deviate from the treatment plan, your doctor cannot accurately evaluate if the plan is working for you. This inhibits the doctor’s ability to modify your treatment plan and to provide new strategies for you. Following the treatment plan includes taking your prescriptions as prescribed by your...

Article in English: Make a loop about 6 inches (15.2 cm) from the free end of the yarn. The free end should hang behind your loop. Insert your crochet hook through the loop and hook the free end before pulling it back through the loop and onto the hook. Remember not to count your first stitch towards the 60 chains. To make one chain stitch, you'll want to hold the hook in you right hand and loop the working yarn over your left index finger. Hold the end of the slipknot between the thumb and middle finger of your left hand. Then, bring the yarn from back to front around the shaft of the hook, drawing it through the loop on the hook. Repeat this to make the first row, or foundation chain. Add 3 chains onto the 60 that you already have. This will maintain the height when you start crocheting the following rows. This will effectively count as turning your work, so just continue crocheting the row. To double chain, insert your hook into the fourth chain. Yarn over and pull the yarn through the chain. At this point, you should have three loops on your hook. Yarn over again and pull through two loops on your hook. You should now have one loop on your hook. Make sure to insert your hook into the chain and not the gap closer to your hook. To double crochet into your chain, insert your hook and yarn over. Pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through two, yarn over and pull through two. Continue doing this across the length of the chain. Check to make sure you have 60 stitches once you complete the row. Turning your work simply means rotating it so that the last stitch you worked becomes the beginning of the next row. skip one stitch and double crochet 6 times into the next stitch. Repeat this all the way across. To double crochet, yarn over insert your hook under both of your loops, yarn over, and pull up. You should now have three loops on your hook. Yarn over, pull through two, yarn over and pull through two. skip one stitch and single crochet into the next stitch. Repeat this all the way across. To single crochet, insert your hook from...

Article in English: Make a loop about 6 inches (15.2 cm) from the free end of the yarn. The free end should hang behind your loop. Insert your crochet hook through the loop and hook the free end before pulling it back through the loop and onto the hook. You can do more or fewer stitches in order to end up with a length of chain as long as you'd like your leg warmers to be. For an adult leg warmer, you'll probably create a chain about 11–15 inches (27.9–38.1 cm) long. Write down the number of chain stitches so you can make the next leg warmer the same length. To make one chain stitch, you'll want to hold the hook in you right hand and loop the working yarn over your left index finger. Hold the end of the slipknot between the thumb and middle finger of your left hand. Then, bring the yarn from back to front around the shaft of the hook, drawing it through the loop on the hook. Repeat this to make the first row, or foundation chain. Do this for 10 stitches. You can then place a stitch marker, if you want a visual cue alerting you to single crochet. To make a single crochet stitch, insert your hook from front to back in the center of the second chain from the hook. At this point, you should have 2 loops on your hook. Yarn over, or twist the yarn from front to back around the hook, and pull the yarn through the chain. Again, you should have 2 loops on your hook. Yarn over again and draw through the 2 loops. You'll now have single crochet stitches. Turning your work simply means rotating it so that the last stitch you worked becomes the beginning of the next row. To half-double crochet, yarn over your hook once and skip the first 2 stitches on your row. Insert your hook into the center of the third stitch. Yarn over one and then pull all 3 stitches through the chain. You'll have 3 loops on your hook. Yarn over again and pull the 3 stitches on your hook. Remember that chain 1 doesn't count as a stitch when in single crochet.    Continue working across into the back loops, repeating till you get to your desired length. You'll know it's...

Article in English: Make a measurement of where the trees come through the flooring and cut around the trunks with a jigsaw, leaving 1" to 2" around. Once your deck boards have been cut to accommodate the trunks of your tree, it's time to screw them into place. Use a ladder to hoist yourself up onto the platform and start screwing down with a drill. Leave a slight 1/4" or 1/2" distance between each floorboard. Add covering and verticals to the platform to make a rectangle. Now an awkward part that formerly jutted out of the platform has been turned into a handy-dandy entrance. Nail the two 2x4 (they should be at least 4 feet high) together, and then screw them to the platform at each corner. Use 2x4s as well, and if you want, mitre the edges of the handrails. Then, nail them down to the uprights. Next, screw the handrails into one another through their mitered corners. Nail any available woods — planks or plywood work fine — flush into the bottom of the platform. Then nail them into the railing at the top so that they form an effective fence. Use whatever you want for siding. You can successfully use meshed-together rope if you want, as long as little kiddies cannot slip through. Safety should be the first priority, especially when you're dealing with small children.

Summary in Russian:

С помощью двух балок 5 х 10 для каждой из сторон начните делать направляющие для перил. Прикрепите перила к направляющим. Сделайте дополнительные ограды между платформой и перилами.


Article in English: Make a plan and stick to it. Once you have a plan, you can care for your pets in the best possible way during this stressful time. Don't wait until the last minute!  Tell your vet you are moving. Ask your vet if they know if a vet in your new hometown they can suggest. If your pet has a condition that may worsen after you move, you should consult your vet about the proper treatment until you can find a new vet. If your pets are due or almost due for shots, now is a good time to get them. It may take you a while to find a new vet and you may need to have updated shot records for boarding, traveling, etc. Get a sedative for your pet. If you are traveling long distances, flying, exposing your pet to a means of transportation they've never experienced before, or traveling with children, you should ask your vet for a sedative--unless the pet is traveling in the cargo area of an airplane, in which case sedatives should be avoided. Most of these are quite mild and won't really knock the pet out but will certainly take the edge off. This is also helpful if you have a pet that you know doesn't travel well, is cage aggressive or could bite movers. If you need something more sedating, you should discuss this with your vet. Make sure you understand how to give proper dosages.  Get copies of vet records and vaccination certificates. The rabies tag will not serve as proof of vaccination. You may need to show the documentation. Make sure your pets get the kennel cough vaccine or other vaccines that will be necessary for travel or boarding. Even if you don't normally board your pet you should consider those vaccines in case something happens on the road or during your move (such as an accident, blizzard or family emergency). Be specific and ask your vet if there is anything else needed that might be requested. Ask what you will need to do to have these vaccinations recognized in your new state or if they will carry over. Chances are if you need a vaccine and don't have it, you'll be in horrible situation when you find out...

Be flexible with your plan. This isn’t written in stone, so if a new opportunity or contact presents itself, be flexible so you can incorporate a new direction. Reevaluate this plan every year or two. Determine if you’re on track or if you need to make adjustments. There are many paths you can follow in shoe design. For example, you can design shoes for women, men, children, athletes, and so on. What appeals to you most? Consider which aspect of the shoe design process appeals to you most. Do you love designing shoes but you don’t care about actually making them? Do you want to actually make your own shoes? Do you want to work for a big company like Adidas or Nike, or do you want to own your own boutique? While it is not necessary to get a degree, a degree can help you develop skills and contacts that will be useful for succeeding in the industry. Enroll in a 2- or 4-year program at an accredited institution. Your degree doesn’t need to be in shoe design. Any degree in an art- or design-related field will be applicable. These might include shoe design, industrial design, graphic design, art, product design, fashion design, and accessory design, among others. A great shoe designer will have an interesting and original look to their designs. You can start developing your own style and brand immediately.  Limit the elements that you can use, such as restricting yourself to three colors, or two types of fabric or material. This will force you to be imaginative and innovative. Give yourself assignments. Design shoes for different types of people, for example. What are some similarities that resound through each design? Challenge yourself to create something new every day.

Article in English: Make a point of approaching the professor after the class to say a quick “hello” and introduce yourself. Let the professor know you are excited about their class and look forward to learning from them. Mention your name and try to chat with the professor about your educational interests or background. For example, you may say, “Hi, my name is Selena Gomez. I’m a second year med student. I’m looking forward to taking your class.” Most professors will hold office hours outside of class time and like it when students make the effort to attend them. Go to the professor’s office hours to introduce yourself one on one.  Come prepared with a question or thought about that week’s class. Bring along notes from class so you can discuss them with the professor. Having notes will give you something to chat about during the office hours. Most professors have open office hours, or office hours by appointment. Show up on time for your appointment with the professor so they are not kept waiting. Be friendly to the professor when you spot them walking around campus or in the hallway between classes. Say “hello” to them at social events on campus. Doing this will let them know you are open and friendly. You may try some small talk with the professor when you see them and they do not seem in a hurry. You may say, “How’s your day going?” or “Great to see you.”

Article in English: Make a record of all the tasks you need to accomplish. The list should include both short-term tasks you need to finish daily and weekly, as well as long-term goals that may take months or even years to accomplish. Seeing it written down will help you plan out the various actions needed to meet all your goals. Put this list on paper. Even if you use your phone for all of your other lists, from groceries to birthday wishes, don’t put this list on there. The act of writing out your tasks is key to thinking through how to finish them. Use a planner to schedule your time. Write short-term tasks in daily or weekly lists that include deadlines for each item. Set deadlines for long-term goals by listing them in monthly entries.  Include everything you need to get done in your planner. Say that on Friday your final biology project is due. Set aside at least three nights to finish it. You’ve also got to go to the pharmacy and pick up a new toothbrush and vitamins before you leave for vacation. Do this on Thursday night. You’re also taking the SAT in a month, so spend at least three hours this week practicing vocab. Try using a strategy like the Eisenhower Box for prioritizing your tasks in an efficient way. Basically, you categorize all you have to do into four categories: tasks that must be done immediately, tasks that can be done later (or rescheduled), tasks that can be delegated to someone else and tasks that aren't important and can be eliminated. The strength of this strategy is that it works well with the tasks you must complete in a given day, but also on longer timescales, like weeks or months. Multitasking makes you feel like you’re accomplishing a lot, but it actually prevents you from finishing tasks quickly and effectively. Keep your attention on one goal at a time, and give it your all. This will also help you avoid getting overwhelmed by your busy schedule. It’s hard to stay away from distractions and do your work on time when you’re doing it alone. Luckily (or unluckily), everyone struggles with...

Article in English: Make a slip knot on the hooked end of the crochet hook using one end of the yarn. The "tail end" or unattached end of the yarn will be ignored for the remainder of the pattern. The "working end," or the end still attached to the skein, will be the side you draw from as you complete the hat. Work two chain stitches from the loop on your hook. Chain two, then make nine half double crochets into the second chain from the hook to complete your first round.  To make a half double crochet:     Wrap the yarn over the hook once. Insert the hook into the stitch. Yarn over the hook again. Pull the yarn and the hook back through to the front of the stitch. Yarn over the hook once more. Pull the yarn through all three loops on your hook.   Note that the second chain from the hook is also the first chain you completed. The two chain stitches made at the beginning of this round count as your first half double crochet. This is true for this round and in all the following rounds. Chain two. Make one half double crochet into the same stitch you worked the chain from. For the rest of round two, make two half double crochets into each stitch of the previous round until you reach the end. Join the last and first stitches together with a slip stitch. You should have 20 stitches in this round. Chain two and make one half double crochet into the same stitch.

Article in English: Make a solution of 1-2 parts dish detergent and hydrogen peroxide. Apply the solution to the stained area. Let it sit for five minutes. Rinse the affected area thoroughly using a wet towel. Repeat if the stain is still visible. Wash or rinse shirt in cold water to get out any remnants of the mixture. Let the shirt air dry.  There is no need to dab the mixture to the spot. The mixture acts as a lifting agent so dabbing is not necessary. Take the shirt and put it in a large bowl or tub. Pour chlorine bleach over the shirt until the stain is fully covered in the bleach. Let the shirt soak in the bleach for about ten minutes. Then throw the shirt into the washing machine and use the hottest setting.   Let the shirt air dry, as putting the shirt in the dryer can cause any remaining stain to settle. Be extremely careful using bleach. It is poisonous and should not come into contact with your skin or eyes.   Do not mix bleach with cleaning substances containing ammonia. Put a few scoops of Oxiclean in a large bowl or tub filled with hot water. Make sure the OxiClean is fully dissolved. Put the shirt in the bowl or tub until the stained section is submerged. Let it soak for about 15-20 minutes. Then take out the shirt and pour out the water. If you can still see the stain, repeat the process until the stain is removed. There are many cleaners on the market formulated for getting out stains. Choose a cleaner that is meant either for getting out wine stains, or one that is made for linen. If you choose a cleaner meant to remove wine stains, read the label or do research to make sure it can be used on linen. Then follow the instructions on the bottle.

Article in English: Make a statement, then add "i.e." to explain, specify, or describe what you just said in another way:  The elephant is a pachyderm, i.e., a large animal with thick skin and nails on feet resembling hooves. I went to my least favorite place (i.e., the dentist). Note that what follows "i.e." is often a further explanation. This can also be a metaphor. If you substitute "i.e." with "in other words" the sentences still make sense. If you plug in "for example" they do not. Think of what precedes "e.g." as a category, and what follows it as something (or a few things) that would fall into that category (but not everything in that category):  Buy some vegetables, e.g., carrots. I like power metal (e.g., Firewind, Iced Earth, Sonata Arctica). Observe how using "i.e." wouldn't make sense in these examples. "Carrots" is not another way to describe vegetables in general, it is just one of the many foods that are considered to be vegetables. If you wanted to use "i.e." you would write "Buy some vegetables, i.e., the edible part of any plant." Likewise, the bands given are examples of power metal, but not a description. If you were using "i.e." you would write something like "I like power metal, i.e., fast metal with symphonic elements and epic themes." It’s common to use the abbreviations e.g. and i.e. when adding a parenthetical statement, such as a clarification or explanation. However, if the clarification or explanation is part of the main sentence, spell out the phrase that is appropriate to your meaning instead.  For example, if you’re writing a paper and want to provide some examples of sources that argue a particular point, use e.g.: “Some studies (e.g., Smith, 2015; Yao, 1999) support this assertion, while others -- for example, Abdullah’s (2013) research on pizza and topping choice -- disagree.”  Use i.e. to provide short clarifications and a phrase to provide longer or more detailed clarifications: “In our research we altered the order of image display (i.e., first, second, or third) as well as their color...

Article in English: Make a to-do list (or several) for the day, week, or any other amount of time you will be stuck at home to help you manage any tasks you’d like to get done during that time.  Try prioritizing your to-do lists by listing items in order of importance or breaking them into specified categories (e.g. Today, Tomorrow, Weekend, or Urgent, Soon, If Time Allows). Make completing tasks more fun and satisfying by using colored pens, stickers, or other decoration, and make sure to cross off each item as you finish it! Get to chores you’ve been neglecting, like vacuuming, dusting, or washing dishes. Make it fun by putting on music or singing while you work.  Active chores that get you up and moving, like laundry, vacuuming, mopping, or washing windows, have an added bonus of giving you a good physical workout, too.  If you do any work from home, focus first on decluttering and reorganizing your desk or office space to help you think clearer and be more focused while you work there. Try rearranging and reorganizing areas that typically get messy, like closets or kitchen cabinets, so that it is easier to keep them consistently tidy. Try to fix broken household items, mend clothing, or make other simple repairs that you’ve been putting off.  If you don’t know how to fix something, look up instructions online. It could be easier to fix than you think. Use a simple needle and thread to sew on buttons or patches, stitch rips, or make any other adjustments to damaged clothing items so that you can wear them again. Rake leaves, mow the lawn, trim branches, or plant something in your yard to help keep it looking good and tidy while being active at the same time.  If you don’t have a yard, simply spruce up a patio or balcony with some plants, a spare chair, or a string of lights. If you can’t be outside, try planting a few plants inside to grow on a windowsill. All you need is a pot with potting soil, seeds, and water. If you have someone’s birthday, graduation, wedding, or other event coming up, use your time at home to plan out...

Article in English: Make an appointment to see your doctor if you notice these symptoms together for more than a week, as this disease can have serious complications. It can lead to you becoming dehydrated or malnourished, as your body isn't getting what it needs through digestion. Whenever you go to the doctor, it's a good idea to make a list of your symptoms. Write down the symptoms you've been having and when, so your doctor can get a good idea of what's going on with you. Plus, it will help you remember everything you need to when you get to the doctor's office. The doctor will ask you questions about your medical history, as well as give you a physical exam. They will likely feel your stomach and use a stethoscope to listen to the area. They may also do imaging studies to help figure out what’s causing your symptoms.  Bring up any risk factors, which include diabetes and abdominal surgery. Other risk factors include hypothyroidism, infections, nerve disorders, and scleroderma.

If you currently have a medical condition or injury, talk to your doctor about what types of activity are appropriate for you.  They may give you some restrictions, but also provide guidelines of what is acceptable and safe. Also, if you suffer from a chronic injury, speaking to a physical therapist or orthopedist might be a good idea.  They can give you detailed guidance on what to do or not do. If you begin a workout routine and experience any pain, shortness of breath or other side effects, discontinue immediately and consult with your doctor. Although exercise DVDs generally do not require a lot of equipment, you should evaluate your in-home set up and what you'll need to do to make exercising feasible.  Choose a spot where you plan on exercising.  Make sure you'll have enough space to move around or perform the exercises suggested in your DVD in a safe manner.  You may need to move some furniture or other items out of the way. Also consider the flooring.  If you have hardwood floors, you may need to purchase an exercise mat to make floor exercises more comfortable. After reviewing or watching a few exercise DVDs you can assess what at-home equipment you will need to purchase.  However, make sure you've fully decided on what DVD or program you're purchasing before spending money on any required equipment.  Some DVD programs will require fitness equipment.  Items may include:  an exercise mat, a stability ball, a set or two of hand weights, resistance bands, kettle bells or a foam roller. If you have little room or a small budget, find DVDs that require little to no extra equipment.  Some programs offer routines that use furniture or other common household items for their workouts.

Article in English: Make an appointment with a psychologist or therapist to discuss a diagnosis of anxiety. Certain medical professionals are qualified to diagnose anxiety, including psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, social works, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and some physicians who are well-trained in mental health diagnosis. Try asking your general practitioner for a referral to someone who can give you a diagnosis. You may be given a psychological evaluation, which can include answering questions about your symptoms, thoughts, behaviors, moods, and feelings and filling out a questionnaire. Once you have a diagnosis, this can be a huge relief. You now have the awareness to bring healing and improved health to your life. You may want to rule out certain diagnoses or medication interactions, which is why it can be helpful to meet your general practitioner. Talk about your symptoms with your physician. You may be given a physical exam or have some lab tests taken.  Be sure to discuss any medications you use, in addition to any supplements, vitamins, or herbs you take. Discuss any substances you’ve used recently and regular alcohol consumption or tobacco use, as well as caffeine consumption. If you do have an anxiety diagnosis, it’s best to start treatment right away. The faster you address your anxiety disorder, the better you can begin to feel. Many people choose to attend therapy as a primary way of addressing symptoms. Cognitive-behavior therapy is a technique that helps you think and act differently by challenging irrational beliefs that have a basis in fear and negative thought patterns and replacing them with more positive thoughts.  Your therapist may teach you certain relaxation methods which can help calm anxiety, such as deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation. Practice relaxation and calming activities regularly to buffer stress and anxiety. You can also learn strategies to use in the moment, as you’re experiencing anxiety or a panic attack, such as grounding techniques and diversion skills.

Article in English: Make an appointment with your doctor or dermatologist and get properly diagnosed. Then ask your doctor about the most effective over-the-counter (OTC) shampoos or ointments for head lice that can be purchased at mainstream pharmacies. Your doctor will likely recommend OTC products based on pyrethrin, a compound from chrysanthemum flowers that's toxic to lice. Popular brands include Nix (a synthetic version of pyrethrin) and Rid (pyrethrin mixed with other compounds toxic to lice).  These pyrethrin-based shampoos are effective for killing head lice, but not usually nits. As such, consider combining vinegar and pyrethrin treatments to get rid of both lice and their nits.  The side effects of using pyrethrin-based shampoos include scalp irritation, redness and itchiness — especially among children allergic to chrysanthemum or ragweed. Head lice don't spread disease (bacterial or viral), but scalp itchiness can trigger excessive scratching that leads to infected sores in some people.  Do not follow up the lice treatment shampoo with a regular shampoo and/or conditioner. This will reduce the effectiveness of the lice treatment shampoo. If the head lice infestation is not controlled with vinegar and/or OTC shampoos, then you should talk to your doctor about getting a stronger medication. In some geographic locations, head lice have developed resistance to OTC shampoos, so prescription medications are all that work. The most common prescription medications recommended for head lice are benzyl alcohol (Ulesfia), malathion (Ovide) and Lindane. Collectively, medicines that can kill lice are called pediculicides and they all should be used cautiously, particularly with children.  Benzyl alcohol kills lice on the scalp by depriving them of oxygen. It's effective, but potential side effects include skin irritation, allergic reaction and seizures, so it's not recommended for children younger than 6 months of age. Malathion shampoo is only approved for children aged 6 years or older due to potential serious side effects. Be...

Article in English: Make an appointment with your family doctor to confirm if you have arthritis in your knees. Your doctor will likely take x-rays and blood tests to confirm a diagnosis of OA, RA or other types of arthritis, such as gout. If the arthritis is causing lots of pain and stiffness, over-the-counter medications may not be strong enough to lessen the symptoms. In such cases, your doctor will likely prescribe stronger anti-inflammatories.  COX-2 inhibitors (celecoxib, meloxicam) are strong types of NSAIDs that may cause fewer stomach problems. They are commonly prescribed for OA of the knee. Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are commonly used to deal with the pain and slow the progression of RA by reducing an overactive immune system. DMARDs include methotrexate, sulfasalazine, hydroxychloroquine, etanercept, and adalimumab. Classic signs of arthritis on x-ray are: loss of joint space due to thinning cartilage and bone spurs that stick out from the femur or tibia bones. An injection of corticosteroid medication (cortisone) into a knee joint can quickly reduce inflammation and pain, and allow normal movement of the joint pretty quickly. Corticosteroids are hormones that display powerful anti-inflammatory properties and are made by the body's adrenal glands. They are injected by an orthopedic surgeon under anesthesia. The most commonly used preparations are prednisolone, dexamethasone, and triamcinolone. The effects of the medications are short-term — lasting from weeks to months typically.  The number of cortisone injections you can get each year is limited because it can worsen knee joint damage over time. Potential complications of corticosteroid knee injections include local infection, excessive bleeding, tendon weakening, local muscle atrophy and nerve irritation/damage. Steroid injections can be relatively expensive if your insurance doesn't cover it. Using low-energy light waves (called infrared) is known to be able to speed up wound healing, decrease pain and decrease inflammation in a variety of...

Article in English: Make an appointment with your primary care doctor, OB-GYN, or fertility specialist, and work with them to develop a strategy that works best for you. Your doctor’s advice may vary depending on your age, overall health, lifestyle, and any methods you are already using to improve your fertility and manage your PCOS.  Your doctor will probably ask for a complete list of all medications and supplements you are currently taking. They may also do lab work, such as blood tests or an ultrasound, to evaluate the health of your eggs and help them decide which treatments might benefit you the most. Your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes, dietary supplements, medications, or a combination of approaches to improve your egg quality. Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10, is an antioxidant that has been shown to improve egg quality and ovarian health. CoQ10 occurs naturally in the human body, but levels tend to drop off as you age. Taking CoQ10 supplements may help some women with PCOS conceive successfully. Ask your doctor if CoQ10 supplements are a good option for you.   Ask your doctor about how much CoQ10 to take. Typical therapeutic doses range between 200 and 600 mg daily.  Don’t take CoQ10 without consulting with your doctor first. It can interact poorly with certain medications, such as blood pressure medications, blood thinners, and some types of beta-blockers and chemotherapy medications. CoQ10 may lower your blood sugar. If you have diabetes, talk to your doctor about whether it is safe for you to take CoQ10. CoQ10 side effects are rare and typically mild. The most common side effect is an upset stomach. L-carnitine is an antioxidant that occurs naturally in the body. When combined with the fertility drug clomiphene, L-carnitine supplements can improve the quality of your ovulation and increase your chances of conceiving. This combination may be even more effective when combined with omega-3 fatty acids, like those found in fish oil supplements. Clomiphene is typically given in 50 mg doses once a day for 5 days.

Article in English: Make an appointment with your primary care physician or OBGYN. Come prepared with a list of topics that you’d like to discuss. Be prepared to talk about how you’ve experienced pain during sex. Ask them about possible treatments. Depending on the potential diagnosis, your doctor may also order tests or bloodwork.  For example, endometriosis is a painful medical condition that can effect women and must be diagnosed by a physician. If left untreated, it can cause a woman a great deal of pain during intercourse.  Other medical causes of painful sex include eczema in sensitive areas, vaginismus or spasms in the vagina, pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts, or scarring from surgery. Different types of pain might signal certain issues. Tell your doctor when during intercourse you feel pain and what type of pain it is. Some questions you might want to answer include:  Do you have pain during penetration or only during thrusting? Does the pain last after sex? Does the pain throb, burn, or ache? Is this a new pain or an old condition? If you are suffering from a lack (or excess) of testosterone, estrogen, or another hormone, this could impact your level of pleasure or pain during sex. Talk with your doctor about possible treatment options to correct any hormonal problems. They may suggest a cream, a medicated ring, oral medications, or a treatment patch.  Some of these treatments can be highly successful with up to 75 percent of patients stating that their sexual pain lessened.  Menopause, birth, breastfeeding, and polycystic ovary syndrome can all affect your hormones, leading to painful sex. If you have any type of sexual transmitted disease (STD), make sure to talk with your doctor before engaging in sexual intercourse. Also, seek out treatment if you are suffering from any type of genital infection as it could likely cause dryness and pain during sex. For example, men and women can both suffer from cystitis, which is a bladder infection that can cause pain during intercourse. Another common cause is a urinary...

Article in English: Make an effort to eat less than you’re currently eating. Reduce your daily calorie intake gradually for the first week or so, then stick with an approximate amount that will allow you to lose weight without leaving you feeling totally wiped out. Counting calories isn’t a lot of fun, and it definitely requires discipline in the long run, but it’s a surefire way to achieve a leaner physique.  The most elementary rule of dieting is that if you burn more calories than you consume, you’ll lose weight. Consult with a nutritionist, keep a food journal or use a calorie-counting app like MyFitnessPal to track the nutritional value of the food you eat and calculate how many calories you need to keep making progress. In order to keep your calorie intake low, the first things you should eliminate from your diet are salty, sugary, overly-processed foods and snacks. Say goodbye to French fries, pizza, cake and candy. Sweets and fatty foods contain more concentrated doses of calories per serving size, which means you can eat them in the same portions as other healthier foods and still gain weight. Junk food is a death trap for those seeking to lower their body fat percentage.  The food you eat should be grilled, baked, broiled or steamed. Stay away from fatty additives like butter and oil. One simple way to drastically reduce the number of calories you’re getting is to stop eating fast food and drinking soda. This allows most people to lose an additional 2-3 pounds a week. Low-calorie, filling food are key to your success. 400 calories of vegetables will fill you to the brim while 400 calories of oil or fried chicken will leave you wanting more. Know what to eat to trick your body into telling you it's finished. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy and lean meats are all low-calorie dense foods that will help you lose weight. Fruits and veggies are mostly water-based and contain very few calories and very little fat--on the other hand, 1 g of fat is nine calories in itself. So stay away from processed goods and...

Article in English: Make an effort to shower at least once each day, no matter how tired or busy you may be. Showering regularly is an excellent way to ensure that your body is fresh and clean throughout the day. If you wake up sweating after a hot night, hop in the shower; always shower after a long day of movement or, especially, exercise. You should never forget to shower after working out, or your bad body odor might build up.  Use an antibacterial soap for best results.  After you shower, make sure to fully towel off, so you don't leave any moisture that invites bacteria onto your body. Though deodorants don't stop sweating, they do mask the smell of bacteria on your skin. Antiperspirants contain aluminum chloride, which is a chemical that does reduce sweating, and which also contains a deodorant. Apply the antiperspirant twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.  If you think you need more than the average deodorant or antiperspirant, then check out products that say they are of a higher strength -- you don't need to go to a doctor to get these. If you've tried a stronger anti-perspirant or deodorant and it's still not working, it may be time to see your doctor to get a prescription for even stronger antiperspirant. Wearing clothes made of cotton, wool, or silk will make your body less likely to sweat because of the comfort and durability of the materials. And if you're working out, invest in a high-tech fabric that wicks the moisture off your body. If you wear the same t-shirt for three days, then yeah, your armpits may smell. Make sure to always wash your clothes after you wear them, and to avoid wearing the same article of clothing for two or more days in a row, no matter how comfortable it may be. And take extra care with your workout clothes -- dirty and moist workout clothes are a breeding ground for bacteria, so you should wash them after every single workout. People often sweat not because they are overexerting their bodies, but because they are overexerting their minds. Take whatever measures you...

Article in English: Make an effort to smile at times when you usually don’t. For example, smile at the bus driver on your morning commute to school or work even if you’re tired. Smiles attract attention, but it's the right kind of attention and can help make the world a more positive place.  Smiling at work or during other professional occasions is not going to make you seem unprofessional. It can actually humanize you and make you appear more approachable so you can communicate with co-workers more effectively. A smile makes you seem "real." It may make you feel more vulnerable, but that means you’re opening yourself up to others, which provides the opportunity for more meaningful connections. Whether it's for a photo or to keep your mother happy when relatives you can't stand visit, smiling on demand can be difficult. That’s usually because you lack a genuine reason for smiling. In these situations, try to remember past reasons for smiling and focus on the techniques that you’ve practiced.  For a photo, smile a little harder than you think you should. That will ensure that your smile is as photogenic as possible. If you prefer to smile with your mouth closed, try placing your tongue on the roof of your mouth. That helps tighten the muscles in your face and neck for a more natural smile. To encourage yourself to smile, it helps to understand the benefits that a smile can bring to your day. You’ll smile more often if you know how it affects the way you feel and interact with others.  Smiling improves your appearance. A person who is smiling is usually thought of as more attractive than someone who is frowning, pouting, or sporting a blank expression. A smile can often say more than words can. If you've hurt someone, made a mistake, or are just in a bad mood, a smile can help others know that you’re apologetic and want to make amends. Smiling creates trust and rapport. It is a simple way to make other people feel more comfortable around you so it’s easier to form a bond and communicate. A smile can make you feel good. Even if...

Article in English: Make certain that the vehicle is shut off completely and remove the grounded terminal first, to prevent arcing, then move the battery to a well-ventilated area to charge it.  It is possible to charge a battery without removing it, but you need to know whether or not the battery is grounded to the chassis, to avoid clipping the negative in the wrong place. If it is grounded to the chassis, clip the positive to the positive terminal, and the negative to the chassis. If it isn't, then clip the negative charger to the negative terminal, and the positive to the chassis.  If you want to know how to jump your vehicle, read this article. On most well-used car batteries, corrosion will typically build up around the terminals, and it's important to clean these periodically to make sure that your battery terminals make good contact with the leads. The best way to do this is to use plain baking soda and water, and brush the terminals with an old toothbrush to remove the corrosion. Refill each cell with distilled water, to the proper manufacturer levels, if necessary. Do not overfill. Some lead-acid batteries won't have removable ports, so defer to the manufacturer's instructions as always. Usually, you'll be able to find this in the owner's manual for your vehicle, if it isn't listed on the battery itself. If you're unsure, you can also usually visit any auto parts retailer and have them check for your, at no charge. Depending on your vehicle and the battery in it, you'll need a charger with enough capacity to recharge it. Typically, batteries will be either 6 or 12-volts, but depending on whether or not your battery is a Standard, AGM, and Deep Charge model, you may need a stronger charger, depending.  Some chargers are manual, which means you'll have to shut them off when the battery is fully charged, while other automatic batteries will shut off when the battery is full. Other than that, and slight differences in design, all chargers work in essentially the same way. Again, if you're not sure, head to the auto-parts...

Trying to move too quickly may frighten him and cause him to be less open around you. Do not bombard him with text messages. You should not be the first person texting him in the morning and the last person texting him at night. Make sure that the text exchanges between the two of you are more equal than one sided. He should initiate hanging out with you at least half the time. If you ask him to hang out and he gives you a reason why he can't, let him be the one to ask you to spend time together next.
