Article in English: Your cat will now need to care for her kittens. Nursing kittens will require that your cat has access to more food, sometimes as much as double, and continue wth a high protein/calcium diet. Continue to feed your cat a high protein kitten food and always provide access to clean water. The mother should use her body heat to keep the kittens warm. However, you'll also want to make sure her environment makes this as easy as possible. Keep warm blankets near her and the room temperature high.  If the mother is being inattentive to the kittens, you can provide a heating pad on low to help keep the babies warm. Make sure the kittens and mom remain in a calm place where she will not feel threatened. This can cause a danger to the kittens and the mom. Your cat still may have problems after the birthing process is done. If you notice vaginal bleeding, or a prolapsed uterus (a uterus pushed out through the vagina), you should consult your vet. Also look for:  Look out for atypical behavior, such as ignoring the kittens. She may reject the kittens, or if she feels in enough danger, she may even kill the litter. Keep an eye out for inflamed mammary glands. Infected glands will become enlarged, hot to the touch, and may even appear a different color. Watch for changes in appetite. If your cat is not getting enough nutrients this can endanger both her and the kittens. If an extended period goes by and your cat is unwilling to eat, take her to a vet.

Продолжайте следить за питанием кошки. Содержите кошку с котятами в тепле. Не пропустите послеродовые осложнения.


Article in English: Your cat won't really care what the room looks like, as long as it has plenty of cat-friendly elements, so this part is for you.  Paint the room a fun color and decorate the walls with hearts, fish, mice, or nature pictures. Wall decals, removable wall paper, and stencils are all relatively inexpensive ways to add some interest to an otherwise boring wall. The flooring that is already in your room may be fine, but if you need new flooring, make sure that it is cat friendly. You will want to choose something that is durable and easy to keep clean.  If your cat tends to have accidents outside of her litter box, you should probably avoid carpet and hardwood flooring. Tile, vinyl, and linoleum are much easier to clean. If you are converting a room with a concrete floor, such as a basement laundry room, you can also apply an epoxy finish to the floor. If the flooring you choose is cold and hard, like tile, consider adding some inexpensive and machine-washable throw rugs. Attach pictures to a bulletin board, frame them, or attach poster-sized printouts of your cat to your walls. To enhance the cat theme, add some extra posters and knickknacks with pictures of cats, paw prints, or fish. If you have shelves, you can adorn them with books about cats. You probably want to make your cat room comfortable for humans as well so that you can spend some time cuddling and playing with your cat. Make sure to put a comfortable couch or chair in the room.  You can also add a television if you plan on spending time in the room with your cat. Remember to keep the cat room quiet and calm. It's fine for you to visit her, but don't invite lots of friends to hang out in the cat room. When you are in the cat room, let your cat come to you instead of removing her from her perch or hiding spot. . If your cat room also serves another purpose and you don't want to look at a litter box, find a creative way to keep it out of sight. You can put it behind a decorative screen or create an enclosure for it. You can even disguise the enclose as a...

Article in English: Your cat's changed behavior might be one of the first signs you notice that alerts you to a tail injury. Your cat may begin dragging his tail or keeping it low to the ground all the time, dribbling urine randomly, or having diarrhea. Your cat may begin walking unevenly or losing coordination in his back legs. Dribbling urine and having diarrhea are not symptoms of a broken tail on their own. If the tail injury was severe enough to cause these signs, the cat will definitely be dragging the tail. Gently feel along the length of the tail. Signs of injury or break include tender, swollen or bent areas. If you notice redness, tenderness, and swelling with fluid underneath, there may be an abscess, or pocket of pus, forming on your cat’s tail. If there is exposed bone or if the skin has been stripped from the tail leaving only bone this is called a ‘degloving’ injury.  If you happen to notice a hard, non-painful kink in your cat’s tail, it’s probably because he was born with the kink in the tail or it's an old, already healed injury.  Never pull or try to remove a severed portion of tail since there are tough tendons and sensitive nerves. If you pull or stretch the tendons, you'll damage the use of the tail, hind limbs, bladder and bowel functions. It may also cause arterial bleeding, which is difficult to control and potentially life-threatening for your cat. The vet can address the injury without additional damage to the tail. Your cat may need a partial or full amputation of his tail if he has a degloving injury, deep cut, or if his tail is deeply or mostly severed. Your vet can also prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection which is highly likely with any open wound. Even if there are no external wounds, the vet can check your cat for other injuries. The vet may find neurologic damage from the tail being pulled during the accident.  The vet will examine the tail for signs of physical or neurological damage. If the vet suspects nerve damage, your cat may have an electromyogram test. Anal sphincter and tail...

Article in English: Your cell phone provider should be committed to keeping your cell phone safe from unwanted calls.  Your provider may be able to offer you a means of blocking the calls, for a fee. Depending on your provider, this block feature may fall under the header of Parental Controls. AT&T has a feature called Smart Controls and charges $5/month for the service. Verizon has a free call block service that can block five callers at a time. They also offer a $5/month option called Usage Controls with more features. T-Mobile does not have an official call block feature but you can call 611 and ask customer service to block a particular number. Sprint offers its users a manage blocked calls option from their My Sprint account settings. If the spam calls turn aggressive or harassing, consider contacting the FCC about the number. Under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the FCC has established rules that address unsolicited telephone marketing calls. These rules include:  Anyone making a telephone solicitation call to your home must provide his or her name, the name of the person or entity on whose behalf the call is being made, and a telephone number or address at which that person or entity can be contacted. Telephone solicitation calls to your home are prohibited before 8 am or after 9 pm. Telemarketers must comply immediately with any do-not-call request you make during a solicitation call. In 2003, the FCC worked with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to establish the national "Do-Not-Call" service. This free service is provided by the Federal Trade Commission. You can register landlines, cell phones and handsets.  You can register for this service on the phone or online. You'll need a valid email address for confirmation when registering online. Read How to add your name on the national Do Not Call Registry for more details. If you have already registered, and a company is violating the "Do Not Call" rules by texting you or calling, you can file a complaint. You will have to prove that the company had no...

Article in English: Your chart should have rows for each date that you measure your leaves. The columns should be labeled “number of leaves,” “average length,” and “average width.” You should check your leaves every two to three days. Be extremely thoroughly, but make sure you do not count the same leaves twice. Include new leaf tips and sprouts in your count. Record the number of leaves down in your chart. Choose a random sampling of four or five leaves. Hold the ruler from the bottom to the tip of the leaf. Add up the measurements, and divide by the number of measurements you took. (For example, if you measured by five leaves, divide by five). This is the average leaf length for that day. Record this down in your chart.  Repeat this process to find the width of the leaves. Measure the leaves at their widest part. Be as specific as possible; get the measurement down to centimeters and millimeters if you can. Keeping the leaf on the plant, draw around the leaf on grid paper. The grid should have squares that are one inch in area. Count the number of squares covered to get the surface area of each leaf. Leaves can grow quickly. Check the size of your leaves every few days to see how they are growing. You can use a modification of the growth rate formula for this purpose.  You can calculate the leaf number growth rate. This modification of the growth rate formula will tell you how many leaves are approximately growing per day. The equation for this growth rate is (L2−L1)T{\displaystyle {\frac {(L2-L1)}{T}}}where L1=first leaf count, L2=second leaf count, and T equals the number of days between each. The leaf size formula is the same as the plant height formula. Instead of height, the variable is the surface area. The equation for the growth rate formula is (S2−S1)T{\displaystyle {\frac {(S2-S1)}{T}}}where S1=first surface area measurement, S2=second surface area measurement, and T equals the number of days between each. Once you have gathered a few weeks’ worth of leaf tracings, you can use those shapes to create a template. Take...

Article in English: Your chihuahua may pant, whimper, move around as though uncomfortable, or hide. She may want to be with you or she may wish to be alone.   Keep the lighting dim and the atmosphere relaxed and private. The safer and less stressed the mother feels, the better she will be equipped to respond to the needs of her puppies. Once your dog is in active labor, she should not eat (nor will she likely want to).  You should, however, be sure to offer water, though she may not want to drink it. When she has a contraction, it will be easy to identify–it will appear as a sort of wave across her belly. If you lay your hand on her belly, you will feel the uterus contract and tighten. As she gets closer to delivering a puppy, you will notice her contractions become more frequent and/or pronounced. She may stand up, which is fine; don’t try to force her to lie down. This is the active "pushing" phase of labor, where your dog pushes the puppies out. This is characterized by the dog lying on her side and pushing with visible effort. You will likely see her holding her breath and the muscles of her flanks rippling and pressing down. She may grunt or groan as she presses, and generally give the impression that she is exerting herself. It takes on average 30 minutes of hard labor for each puppy to be born. However, this varies greatly; some puppies are born just minutes apart, while others are born with an hour in between. The most likely complication is that a puppy will get stuck in the birth canal. Because a chihuahua's head is large, it can be physically too big to pass. If you see paws appear at the vulval lips and notice that the dog continues to strain but that after 60 minutes no puppy is passed, you should contact your vet. Do not pull on the paws as you could cause internal tearing. In general, you should contact your vet if:  The dog does not start hard labor after 24 hours in the first stage of labor. No puppy is produced after 60 minutes of hard straining. The dog appears to be in extreme or abnormal pain. Not all of the...

Article in English: Your child is never too young to start volunteering in your community, even if all he can do is give a toothy smile to a person in need of care. Don't let your children think that volunteering is just something they should do in high school to pad their college application; teach them that it's important to give back to the community as often as you can. There are an infinite number of ways to give your time, whether it's by working at a local canned food drive, putting in a few hours a week at a nursing home, or volunteering at a soup kitchen. Volunteer as often as you can and bring your child along so he can help out. If your child is only used to being around white upper middle class people, or Chinese middle class people, or whatever types of people you surround yourself with, then he won't develop an awareness of the existence of a variety of cultures, socioeconomic statuses, and races that contribute to making the world work. Make sure to take your child outside his comfort zone until he feels like he can make conversation or be around any type of person. Many people aren't exposed to people of different races or classes until they go to college; don't make your child wait that long. This doesn't mean you should take your child to a fancy vacation in France every summer; it does mean that you should travel as much as you can to a variety of cities, states, or even countries, if your budget will allow it. Let your child see that there are many different types of people in the world; they may look different and speak a different language, but at heart, all people are not so different. If your child is aware of many different lifestyles and cultures early on, he won't grow up to separate different cultures of the world into "us" and "them." Thanksgiving shouldn't be the only time your child stops and thinks about what he is really thankful for. Your child should compile a "gratitude list" at least once a week, maybe before bed, so he or she is always thinking about all of the things there are to be...

Article in English: Your child may be disappointed upon hearing the truth, or perhaps even upset because they may feel betrayed or tricked.  If this happens, acknowledge their feelings and make sure to explain why you let them believe in the magic of Santa Claus.  Also let them know that your intention was not to mislead them, but that Explain to your child that everyone asks this question when they're ready, and that they should respect that their classmates may not have asked their families yet.  To be respectful, they should not share their new knowledge and they should definitely not make fun of anyone who believes in Santa Claus.  Remind your child about the spirit of Christmas and how magical it was for them to believe, and that they wouldn't want to take that from anyone.  You can simply say, “Let other kids believe until they're ready to learn the truth, just like you did.” You can also say, “Not telling others about Santa is a new and important job that you have, and I'm counting on you.” Remind your child that Santa embodies the spirit of Christmas, and that is why you have chosen to embrace the story.  This is also an excellent time to remind your child of the religious reasons for Christmas, if you celebrate them.  You can also talk with your child about what you and they appreciate most about the Santa Claus story and figure out how to incorporate those elements into future Christmas celebrations. The Santa question is not only tricky, it represents a family transition from one of belief in a fictional, well-loved character, to a more mature appreciation of what Santa Claus represents and how that relates to Christmas.  The transition might be a little uncomfortable, or even sad, for everyone, and that's to be expected.  Remind one another that Santa Claus is a myth that your family enjoyed and that you had a wonderful time sharing the magic, and most importantly, that you look forward to future Christmases together. Now that your child has a new understanding of Santa Claus, your Christmas celebrations will change...

Summary in Russian:

Признайте чувства ребенка. Не говорить другим. Храните воспоминания. Поддерживайте друг друга. Создайте новые традиции.


Article in English: Your child may be unaware of their condition or afraid to come to you, so you need to be the one to start the conversation. Ask questions about your child’s behavior in certain situations, and listen carefully.   Remember that your child may open up to you only when they feel safe and secure. Try to approach your child in a non-intimidating manner, with a warm and understanding tone. For example, you may say, “John, I noticed that you’ve been washing your hands a lot of times during the day and that they’re starting to get red from all of the washing.  Would you mind explaining to me why you feel like you need to wash your hands so many times?” or “you’ve been spending a lot of time in your room arranging your toys.  Can you tell me about how they’re arranged?  I’d like to know why they always need to be in that order.” Because OCD usually develops in school-aged children, the observations of others will be a valuable source of information. Your child may face different situations when they are away from you and may have different obsessions and compulsions at school and other places. If after looking for these behaviors you believe your child might have OCD, you should see a doctor or therapist as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and treatment. Don’t wait for the situation to resolve itself – it may get worse. A doctor can set you on the right path to helping your child.  Discuss with your doctor or psychologist a treatment plan for your child. Also discuss plans for the family to make sure the whole family is being taken care of and supporting each other. Keep a log of your child's behavior before taking him to the doctor. Make a note of the behaviors, the length of time spent on behaviors, and anything else you think will help the doctor. This can help give a better diagnosis. There is no cure for OCD. However, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and medication can reduce the symptoms of OCD. Treating the disease can make it more manageable to live with.   Medications for OCD in children includes SSRIs...

Article in English: Your child may have mastered staying dry during the day, but that does not mean that he or she will be ready to stay dry at night. For most children, it’s fine to keep them in diapers (or pull-up style disposable underwear) until they start waking up dry most mornings. Understand that developmentally, each child is different. Some children can stay dry at night during the toddler years; others are still having accidents at age six or beyond. Try not to compare your son or daughter to other children. Once you decide to give up nighttime diapers, you’ll want to prepare for the inevitable accidents. Get a waterproof cover to put under the sheets but above the mattress, to protect it from damage. When your child has an accident in the middle of the night, it’s helpful to have clean sheets and pajamas nearby. That way, you can simply remove the soiled sheets, wipe the waterproof cover with a cloth, put clean sheets on the bed, and help your child change into fresh sleepwear. As your child gets older, you may want to enlist his or her help in this routine. Most preschoolers can remove soiled sheets, put on clean pajamas, and help you put clean linens on the bed. Accidents will happen – and, indeed, they may happen very frequently at first – and it’s important that you support your child and take them in stride. Tell your child that learning to stay dry at night is a process and that it’s okay if it takes some time.

Article in English: Your child may hold on to the fantasy that you and your ex-spouse may get back together, or that there will always be space for a deceased spouse in the home. Once someone new comes in, it threatens that fantasy. A remarriage can be a trauma and responded to as a loss. Be sensitive to your child’s feelings and bring this up in discussion. Ask how he or she feels about the remarriage, and if it’s sad for your child to see you and your ex or deceased spouse apart. Have a genuine and heartfelt discussion, letting your child voice all of his or her concerns. Divorce and remarriage can be really confusing to a child. Your child may feel like he or she has to choose between you and your ex-spouse. Your child may feel like enjoying your new spouse may be a betrayal to the other parent, and may struggle to find ways to accept your new marriage while still feeling loyal to the other parent.  Give your child permission to love the new people in your ex’s home, and allow for time for your child to warm up to your new spouse.  Don’t bad talk your previous spouse or his or her partner, especially in front of your child. That can be very confusing for a child. Sit down with your child and have a talk about feelings. You can share your feelings, but you want to focus mostly on allowing your child to express his or her own feelings in a safe space. When talking with your child, say:  It’s okay to feel confused about the new people in your life. It’s okay to feel sad about my divorce (or death of a parent). You don’t have to love my new spouse, but you do need to be respectful, the way you would be with a teacher or coach. If you ever feel caught in the middle of my home and your other parent’s home, please tell me. We’ll do our best to stop. It’s okay to talk to someone about how hard things are, like a counselor or coach. Your child may be afraid that perhaps she'll have to move or have to share her room with a stepsibling. Your child may be worried about what will happen to her daily play routine, vacation plans and...

Article in English: Your child may struggle in public places because the other children are strangers. Teaching a simple “Hi, my name is Donny. Do you want to play together?” will go a long way. This is a great thing to role play with their toys. Ask your child to introduce their toys to one another. Once your child feels comfortable with playdates at home, you can begin encouraging socialization at places like parks, playgrounds, and indoor play centers. Trying to involve yourself too much may be stressful for your toddler. Instead, take a seat where you can supervise your toddler. When they are ready, they will approach other children. If your child does start playing with others, keep an eye on them in case there's a fight or they start playing too roughly. If your child gets in an argument, gets upset about something, or feels tired and cranky, it's fine to call it quits and go home. Tell them beforehand, “Once you're tired, let me know, and we can go home.” If your child is reluctant to play in public, giving them an “out” like this can make it seem less scary. At first, they may not want to play for long, but slowly, they'll become more confident. Try to recognize your child's attempts to be social, even if they are rather timid and short-lived at first. They will build confidence and social skills over time. For example, you might say, “I noticed that you asked some other children to play. It looked like you had a great time." When you are in public places with your child, you can be a good social role model by chatting with other parents. Let your child see that it's possible to make new acquaintances. If your child really gets along with a new friend, try to find their parent or guardian. This may be a great opportunity to set up a playdate with someone new!

Continue to participate in activities and hobbies you love and enjoy. Don't give up gatherings, traveling plans, friendships, goals, and interests because of your child. Helping and raising a child with bipolar disorder can be a challenge, and it can also be mentally draining. Talk to a trusted friend or family member about how you feel. Ask for help when you need it from friends and family members.  Consider meeting parents with children who have bipolar disorder as well to get the emotional support and courage you need. You may want to seek out a support group for the loved ones of those with bipolar disorder in your area. Talk to a counselor or therapist if you need.

Article in English: Your child should have a designated space for homework and study. A desk in his or her room might be ideal, but you can also set up a study corner in another room. Whatever location you choose, work to make it quiet, peaceful, and free from possible distractions.  You can let your child decorate this space to make it more welcoming. Try to keep all supplies that are typically necessary for homework at or near this homework station. Every time your child has to get up to retrieve a pencil or more paper or a ruler, he or she may get distracted and lose focus. Homework and study should take place on a schedule. Once you establish a designated time for homework and stick to the routine for awhile, your child will be less likely to complain or resist.  Every child and every schedule is different, but ideally, you should give your child some time to decompress before doing homework. If he or she gets home from school at, say, 3:30, wait until 4:30 to begin homework. This gives your child a chance to have a snack, tell you about his or her day, and get rid of some excess energy. At the very least, plan to let your child have a snack and a drink of water before starting his or her homework. Otherwise, hunger and thirst will be a distraction.    If your child is getting old enough to bring home a lot of homework, it becomes very important to break this work into manageable chunks and set estimated time frames for completion. Larger projects should be worked on periodically well before their due dates. Children get easily overwhelmed when they see what looks like a mountain of work, so encourage your son or daughter to set small goals and take it one step at a time. If your child has a lot of homework, breaks are essential. After your child finishes a particular task or works for an hour straight (or even twenty minutes straight, for a younger child), suggest that he or she take a short break. Offer a piece of fruit and a few minutes of conversation before having your child get back to work. You cannot expect your...

Article in English: Your child should have a space that's dedicated to working on homework. This will help remove temptations and distractions so that they can focus on what's most important. By having a dedicated study space, you'll help them build good habits and know that they have to focus when they're in that space. For most kids this would mean having a desk in their room, but your child might do better with squishy floor seating like a bean bag chair and a lap desk. Their study area should be as distraction free as possible. This means it should not have toys or too many decorations too close by, and avoid putting it near major hallways or facing windows. It will also need to be well organized, with storage and places to keep everything they need. Make the desk area that you set aside for them as comfortable as possible. Having a sore bum can really make you not want to do homework anymore! Get a good chair and a desk at an adjustable height, if possible, so that they don't outgrow it. It's better, especially when your kids are young, to pay attention to what your child does on the internet, so keep their computer in a family area. Having a computer where they do paper assignments can also be very distracting. It is a good idea to have a big enough desk to put a computer on when they're older, otherwise it will become precarious and you might have to buy a new one or let them work somewhere else.

Article in English: Your child will feel most comfortable in a familiar space, so hold their first playdates at home. Don't schedule the playdate for longer than an hour, as toddlers may get tired or cranky. This is also a good opportunity to teach your toddler about the role of a host. Explain that it's important to be kind and generous to guests. Ask who they might like to invite and which activities they might like to do. Discuss possible situations that might occur, such as an argument, and talk about possible responses. Remember, you can always rehearse the playdate with your child through role play before it occurs. In the beginning, groups can be overwhelming. Start by inviting 1 friend, preferably someone your child already knows and likes. As your child gets more comfortable in these situations, you can expand their social circle. Ask your toddler if they have someone they want to invite over. If they can't think of anyone, consider your friends with children around the same age or call the toddler's school or daycare. Ask the teachers if they know anyone who might want to come over. Choose activities that both children will like and make sure there are enough toys available. Try to have several toys available, ideally ones that are similar or identical. Arguing over toys is 1 of the most common problems toddlers have when socializing.  Put away your child's favorite toys before the playdate. For toddlers, it may be too much to expect them to politely share their favorite things. Suggest social activities, like board games aimed at very young children or imaginary play using costumes and toys. Some great toys for playdates include playdoh, blocks, or dolls and figurines. Do not simply leave toddlers alone to play, especially if 1 of them is struggling. Your presence will make your child feel more confident, and you can model appropriate forms of socializing and cooperative play.  Always supervise the children. If your child misbehaves or acts rudely, take them aside and gently correct their action. For example, you...

Article in English: Your child will look to you for guidance when she learns that she has cavities. Stay calm, positive, and upbeat in order to keep you child from becoming scared. If the cavity is in a baby tooth that will soon fall out, perhaps your child does not even require a filling. If the tooth is several years away from falling out, or if the filling is in an adult tooth, your child will likely need a filling. Some children do better when all their cavities are filled at once. Other children might do better with several appointments for fillings spaced out over time. Discuss with your dentist what the painkiller and sedative options are for these appointments in order to find the best option for your child. These options might involve laughing gas, an oral sedative, or the same kind of local anesthetic that you get for your own fillings. Be honest with your child about what a filling entails, but use simple and non-scary words to explain what will happen. For example, you could tell her:  "Your tooth has an owie, and a filling will make it feel good and strong. You might feel very sleepy while you are getting the filling, but you will feel a lot healthier afterwards." "A filling means that your tooth will be fixed. Sometimes people get scared, but dentists do this all the time, and you'll get medicine so that you feel better." Avoid words like "pain" or "hurt." Some children feel anxious about the numb feelings of oral anesthetic. Sometimes they might engage in dangerous behaviors while numb, such as biting their lips, pinching their gums, or scratching at their mouths. Watch your child carefully to make sure that she is behaving safely, and tell her that what she is experiencing is normal and will be over soon. Having a loved one there in the room can be very helpful to someone who is nervous or scared of the dentist. Let your child choose what he or she will wear to the appointment. If your dentist will let your child hold a toy, let your child choose what toy to bring. This will help your child feel in control of the...

Article in English: Your child's bedwetting is likely a very frustrating situation for both you and your child. You might find that you need some help in finding good ways to deal with the situation. If you're having trouble encouraging your child to wear a diaper, maybe there is someone who can help you have that difficult conversation.  Is there a family member that your child has a great relationship with? If they are close to an aunt or uncle or cousin, try recruiting that person to help you have the conversation. Talk to your friends and family members who have children. If they have experience with this type of situation, they can probably offer you some very helpful personal advice. They can be a good source to talk to people about various topics related to incontinence, from how to adjust to wearing bedwetting diapers to how to choose between different brands. Suggest to the youngster that they talk to people in a support group and ask them how they cope with wearing protection. If they're younger it would be a good idea to supervise them while online. Your doctor can be a great resource for you in this type of situation. Not only can they help you figure out the physical causes, but they can offer advice on how to talk about the problem with your child. Remember, your doctor has likely seen this situation before and can offer some great insight. Prepare for your visit to the doctor. Make a list of questions that you would like to have answered and check them off during your conversation. This will help you to remember all of the things you want to ask. Remember to be kind to yourself. You're going through a difficult situation, too. Try to surround yourself with people who have a positive effect on your life and can offer you support. Try talking to a close friend who you trust. Explain that you are going through a difficult issue with your child and that you need someone to talk to. Having a listening ear can really help ease the stress of the situation.

Article in English: Your children are going to notice the differences between bodies. This can include different sexual organs, different amounts of body hair, and body fat. Answer any questions that they have about each family member’s body. Keep your attitude positive and try to help them learn more about the human body.  For instance, they might say something like, “Why don’t you have a penis?” You might respond, “Some people are born with a penis, while other people are born with a vagina.” They might also say something like, “Why is your tummy squishy?” You might say, “Some people have a squishy tummy, and some people have a hard tummy. Both can be beautiful.” While nudity may be the right choice for your family, some people are going to be confused about it. This means your children will start to get questions about it as they get older. Talk to your kids about how they should respond to these questions. This will help them explain your values in a way that other people understand. For instance, a friend my ask, “Isn’t it wrong to be naked around your parents?” Your child might respond, “In our family, we see nudity as being natural, so it’s not weird for us. We don’t even notice that we’re naked.” It’s totally normal for young children to explore their bodies, so don’t worry if your child starts to touch themselves. However, it’s important that you discuss what’s okay and what’s not. Calmly and respectfully tell your child that it’s not okay to touch themselves sexually in front of others. Additionally, explain that they shouldn’t touch other people in a sexual manner.  You might say, “I saw you tugging on your penis earlier. It’s okay to want to touch yourself, but you can only do that when you’re by yourself.” Don’t get upset or judgmental because it may make your child think that sexuality is wrong. Nudity teaches kids to be comfortable about their bodies, which is great! However, they also need to learn that it’s not okay for other adults or children to touch their private parts. Teach your children the names of their...

Article in English: Your child’s moody behavior has physiological foundations.  Puberty hormones flush often-overwhelming levels of chemical input through your child’s developing brain. Note that hormones present in adults can operate differently in teenager.  Adult brains experience the hormone THP, for example, as a calming influence; in your teenager, THP produces heightened anxiety. Humans’ frontal lobe -- the part of the brain responsible for impulse control, judgment, and decision-making -- doesn’t fully mature until we are in our early 20s.  Your child’s brain is quite literally still under construction, even as the rest of his or her body may begin to appear “adult.” Your child is struggling to cope with the confluence of hormonal change, body changes, developing identity, pressure from friends, and a developing sense of independence.  No wonder he or she is acting out!  They may be frustrated, confused, or even scared by the changes taking place in their lives.  Your child needs you to provide stability and support -- even if he or she is telling you something quite different. Perhaps the best way to understand your teenager is to remember what it was like to be one yourself.  Think about your own triumphs and struggles, and consider how your parents experienced them.

Article in English: Your chinchilla should have a supply of good quality timothy hay available to them at all times. Provide it in a bowl or loose on the bottom of the chinchilla's cage.  You can provide timothy hay in racks and hay balls, but be aware that chinchillas are known for getting stuck in them. Providing hay gives your chinchilla necessary fiber. Chewing hay helps them avoid tooth overgrowth. Pellets provide your chinchilla with a variety of vitamins and nutrients. Choose a pellet that is designed for chinchilla nutrition needs and follow the instructions provided with it for portion sizing. Place the pellets in a food dish and make sure that dish is cleaned daily before the pellets are put in it. Most adult chinchillas should eat around 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of pellets every day, depending on what type of pellets they are given. Feeding them other snacks too frequently can cause digestive problems. Safe treats include raisins, carrots, apple, oats, dried blackberry leaves, rose petals from plants that have not been sprayed with poisons of any kind, unsweetened cheerios, unsweetened shredded wheat, dried rose hips, and safe wood chew sticks. However, these should be given in very small servings and should only be given once or twice a week. Never give fruit, vegetables, nuts, or other treats that are not listed as safe. Use either filtered water or chemical-free tap water and place it in a water bottle with a sipper tube on the end of it that is connected to the side of their cage. Make sure that they have water in that bottle at all times and put clean water in it every day, even if it still has water in it from the day before.  Remember to sterilize the water bottle when changing the water. The algae that grows in their water can cause liver problems or severe diarrhea, or even kill a chinchilla.  Chinchillas cannot handle some naturally occurring bacteria or parasites in water like humans, dogs, and cats can, so you need to be sure that the water you give them is clean.

Article in English: Your chocolate filling should have been chilling for about 30-45 minutes. Once you have refrigerated the filling for this time period, remove it from the refrigerator. In order to fill the donuts with chocolate, you will need to create a hole on the side of it. Use the tip attached to the piping or pastry bag. Gently poke a hole in the side of the donut. Once you poke a hole in the side of the donut, firmly squeeze the piping or pastry bag. Keep squeezing until you have filled the center of the donut. Serve as soon as they are filled, as chocolate filled donuts are best enjoyed immediately!

Article in English: Your choice of lipstick with depend on your skin tone and your look.  Identify your skin undertone. Is your undertone more yellow or pink? Yellow is warmer, and pink is cooler. This is very similar to picking the right foundation color; you want to pick a lip color that goes with your undertone. Once you have identified your skin tone, you can look for lip liner, lipstick, and lip gloss in colors that will complement your skin tone. For example, if you have a cooler skin tone, you may choose reds that have some blue in them, while warmer skin tones often look good with orange based reds. You can ask a beauty consultant at your local make up counter for more advice if you have trouble determining your skin tone.

Article in English: Your choice will usually be based on the availability of materials needed by the method, the technical difficulty level of the method or the quality of PCB you desire to obtain. Here's a brief summary of the different methods and their main features that will help you decide:   Acid etching method: this method requires extreme safety measure, the availability of many materials such as the etchant and it is somewhat slow. The quality of PCB obtained varies according to the materials you use but generally, it is a good method for simple to intermediate levels of complexity circuits. Circuits involving more close wiring and tiny wires usually use other methods.  UV etching method: this method is used for transposition of your PCB layout onto your PCB board and requires more expensive materials that might not be available everywhere. However, the steps are relatively simple and can produce finer and more complicated circuit layouts.  Mechanical etching/routing method: this method requires special machines that will mechanically etch away unnecessary copper from the board or route empty separators between wires. It can be expensive if you intend to buy one of those machines and usually leasing them requires the availability of a workshop nearby. However, this method is good if you need to create many copies of the circuit and also can produce fine PCBs.  Laser etching method: this is usually used by large production companies, but can be found on some universities. The concept is similar to mechanical etching but LASER beams are used to etch the board. It is usually hard to access such machines, but if your local university is one of the lucky ones having such machine, you can use their facilities if they allow it. For acid etching, you need to draw the circuitry using an etchant resistant material. Special markers can be found easily for this specific purpose if you intend to do the drawing by hand (not appropriate for medium to large circuits). Laser printers' ink is the most commonly used material however. This...

Article in English: Your classmates will admire your hard work and good grades! They might even ask you for help with their own homework. Although blowing off homework or failing tests might not seem like a big deal--it might even seem cool!--your friends and classmates will eventually stop respecting you if you act like you don’t care about school. Wear clothes that make you look and, more importantly, feel great, while staying within your school’s dress code. Instead of wearing revealing tops or super-short shorts or skirts any tops, look for long, flowy skirts and comfy sweaters. Experiment with jewelry and shoes, too.  You can still rock your personal style if your school has uniforms. Accessorize with funky jewelry, shoes, or tights. Wear a bold headband or shiny clips to catch people’s eyes. Be true to your own style. If you feel best in sporty, casual clothes, you don’t need to jump right into wearing dresses every day. Start off by pairing a nice pair of jeans with a cool T-shirt. Mix in a skirt every once in awhile if you want, or just try tops that are a little fancier. Don’t be afraid to say what you feel, even if it doesn’t seem like the popular thing to do at the time. Stand up for your values so that others respect you, and so you can respect yourself.  For example, if it seems like all the popular kids are slacking off with their work but you know you need to get good grades, keep at it. If all the other girls start wearing a style of clothes you don’t feel comfortable in, don’t feel like you need to change. Grab one of your friends to help you feel more confident. Make eye contact and say, “That’s really not okay. I think you should stop.” Stay calm and cool and don’t let them rile you up. If you feel like the situation might get dangerous, get a teacher’s help.  Standing up to bullies shows that you’re brave, confident, and care about your classmates. Standing up to bullies can get you new friends and the teachers and classmates might notice what you have done and will pay attention to you. They might even...

Article in English: Your cloth should be 2' by 2' (61 cm by 61 cm) or larger. You can choose whatever kind of fabric you prefer, though cotton muslin is an affordable option that will hold up well to wear and tear. Try to avoid fabrics that might be itchy against your skin.  When choosing a pre-patterned material, select one you think would look good as a bandana, like a paisley design, a checked pattern, a skull and crossbones theme, and so on. In some parts of the world, wearing a certain color bandana can be associated with a local gang. For example, blue and red bandannas are tied to gangs in the US city of Los Angeles. It can be dangerous to accidentally identify yourself with a gang, so be wary of this when choosing a bandana color or pattern. At this point, you may want to try on your bandana to see how it fits. If it is too large, you can trim it down, but you should keep in mind that you'll likely lose ½" - 2" (1¼ - 5 cm) of fabric to hemming. Hemming your bandana will keep it from fraying at the edges. An unhemmed raw edge can fray easily.

Article in English: Your clothes should fit well, look neat, and be a little on the classier side. Dressing to flatter your body shape is a simple way to look prettier.  If you have a circle shape (sometimes called an apple shape) avoid clothing that draws attention to your midsection, like high-rise pants or belts. Slim cut pants, shift dresses, and tunic tops are good choices if you have a circle shape.  If you have a triangle shape – wider at the hips than at the shoulders or torso – avoid oversize clothing, skinny jeans, and any flimsy, body-hugging fabrics. Wide leg pants, tailored jackets, and boat neck tops will flatter your body.  If you have an hourglass shape, with a larger chest, narrow waist and full hips, avoid styles without a lot of shape, like boxy dresses, tunics, or oversize cardigans. You should favor high-waisted pants, wrap dresses, and v-neck tops.  If you have a rectangle-shaped body (sometimes called a boy shape), avoid tight dresses which emphasize your shape and any tops that aren’t structured. Boots cut pants and a fitted jacket will favor your body type. Being pretty is often about looking put together – like you spent some time thinking about your look before you left the house. How you do this depends a lot on your personal style, but doing things like making sure your hair is brushed and styled, or that you’re wearing a few cute accessories, or that you’ve really worked on dressing to flatter your body type can all help. It’s easy to run some product through your hair or just throw it up in a ponytail before you run out of the door in the morning. But paying attention to your hair is an easy way to look prettier. Experiment with your hair to find easy, go-to styles for your length and texture. If you get in a pinch during the day and you find your hair is starting to frizz, you can add a small amount of your moisturizer to your hair. Everyone has different preferences for how they like their makeup to look. But applying just some basic foundation, mascara, and concealer can make you look prettier....

Носите одежду, которая вам идет. Всегда оценивайте, как вещи будут смотреться вместе. Причешитесь. Потратьте время на макияж Следите за своей осанкой


Article in English: Your clothes should highlight your best features without putting everything on display. Showing just a hint of your feminine charm can tease him into imagining more.  Revealing clothes are not necessarily the sexiest option. Instead, focus on playing up your best features. Pick out clothes that flatter your body type. The shape and material of the clothing should work with your natural curves, drawing attention to all the right places. Showing a little skin can also be effective, but the key idea is to leave more to the imagination than what you show. Pick out one revealing garment and balance it out with clothes that offer more coverage. For instance, wear a low-cut blouse with a knee-length or longer skirt. If you wear a blouse with a low back, make sure that your chest and legs are covered. When you opt for a mini skirt, keep your bust behind a blouse with a full neckline. Studies suggest that the color red can make women look more attractive to men more than any other color can.  Some theories suggest that red is a naturally stimulating color. Others suggest that the link between the color red and sexuality is a learned behavior. Either way, multiple studies have suggested that red definitely has a positive effect when it comes to getting a man's attention.  As with most things, less is more. Instead of dressing in bright red from head to toe, mix a little red into your outfit. Wear a red dress with black shoes or red shoes with a black dress, but avoid wearing a red dress with a red shoe. A little perfume can go a long way, especially when you choose the right scent. Scent can trigger attraction on an instinctual level.  Certain fragrances are believed to be more sensual than others. Traditionally, these scents include sandalwood, rose, ylang ylang, jasmine, and patchouli.  Use a small dab or spray of perfume and only apply it to your pulse points. These points are located at your wrists, behind your ears, in the bend of your elbow, behind your knees, and on the inside of your ankles. Slow, smooth...

Article in English: Your clothing is one of the first parts of you that people will notice. In order to become likable, it is important that you show the world that you are proud of yourself. Having your own unique style will prove to them that you have confidence in yourself. Keeping clean is an important aspect of being likable. Although you may have a wonderful personality, people will be hesitant to come near you if you smell bad. It is best to groom yourself daily, which includes regular showers and facial cleansing. You can invest in an excellent shampoo and conditioner to tame your hair. In addition, to making you more presentable to others, maintaining personal hygiene also minimizes your risk of illness.    Shaving is an important aspect of grooming. Apply shaving cream or soap before removing unwanted hairs with a razor. Be sure to periodically rinse out your razor to prevent hair from clogging it. Apply deodorant or an anti-perspirant on a daily basis in order to prevent body odors.   Wash your hands. Do so before meals and after partaking in dirty jobs (e.g. gardening). While doing so, remove dirt from your fingernails in order to maintain a healthy appearance. In order to encourage people to talk to you, keep your mouth clean. It is important that you  brush your teeth twice a day for about two minutes, as well as after meals. Also, brush your tongue to remove bacteria and promote fresh breath. Replace your toothbrush every three months or when the bristles are worn out. Additionally,  floss every day before bed to discourage plaque from building up in between your teeth. Take care of your lips by applying chap stick, especially during the colder months. Rather than trying to hide your face underneath makeup, use it to enhance your appearance and place emphasis upon your best features. For example, if your eyes are a unique color, use a hint of mascara and eyeliner to draw attention to it. However, understand that makeup is optional and does not have an impact on how likable you are.

Article in English: Your coaches should have a sheet with your events, or check your team website. The Trumbull Pisces website has a tab where you can look up your events, so see if your team does that too. When you figured out what you are swimming, relax. The next part will boost your confidence and calm your nerves. Having already thought about how to react quickly will help to calm you and reassure you that you're ready.   What will happen if my goggles fall off when I dive? - Relax for that. Just tighten the straps of your goggles. When you dive, tuck your chin to your neck. Therefore, the water will not apply direct pressure to the goggles, and they will stay on you.  What if I come in last place? - It happens. What you should know is that your coach entered you in the meet because he has faith and confidence that you can handle it. If swimming a 200 free, don't panic. If your coach believes you can do it, you should believe you can do it!  What if my time becomes worse? - To avoid that, give your races everything you've got. Every single ounce of energy left in you should show in that race. If you do come last, know that you tried hard and give yourself credit for that. Plan out your race. For anything 25-100 yards/meters, sprint! You don't need to pace yourself because it is a short distance. For 200 yards/meters and above, pace yourself. If swimming 200, your first 50 should have a strong pace. the second 50 should have a harder pull, and the third 50 should have a faster kick. The final 50 should be all out. Think about your times. Set a goal. If swimming a 50 free, imagine your time on the board being 35.99! If you believe it'll happen, it will happen. For a 200 free, pace yourself. First 50- 40 seconds. Second 50- 43 seconds. Third 50- 43 seconds. Fourth 50 - 41 seconds.

Article in English: Your complexion is the shade of your skin and can change from sun exposure or skin conditions. You always want to try a foundation on to make sure it matches your complexion. Standing in natural light, swipe potential foundations across your cheek or near your jawline. The right foundation will disappear, blending perfectly with your skin.  If you can't find a foundation that matches, try choosing the shades that are closest (one slightly darker, one slightly lighter), and mixing them to make a perfect match.  You can also buy the lighter foundation and add a bronzing powder later to warm it up. Your type of skin can influence which foundation is right for you. Stick foundations may be made for all skin types (check the labeling), but for the most part they're best for oily or combination skin. If you don't know whether your skin is dry, oily, normal, or combination, wash your face with a gentle cleanser and notice how your skin feels after 15-20 minutes.  If your face feels moist or oily, your skin is oily. If your skin feels tight, tingly, or dry, you have dry skin. If your skin feels soft and clean, you have normal skin. If your skin feels oily in your T-zone (your forehead and nose), then you have combination skin.

Article in English: Your compost should be in a location that is not too close to your home, so that any smells produced won't bother you and so that any rodents that visit it won't migrate into your home. It can be in the sun or shade, but understand that compost bins in the sun will break down quicker but will likely need more water added. Also, make sure the pile is in an area where there is room to turn it. It is best to have a compost pile on an area of soil a few feet away from plants, not on a deck or patio, so that turning and moving the compost will be easy. If you want a quick and easy way to start your compost pile, there are a variety of bins that can be purchased at home improvement stores or through many local municipalities. These are often black plastic tubes with a lid on top and an open bottom. They are typically cheap to purchase and easy to set up and use right away. The solid-sided black plastic compost bins also provide a bit of protection from rodents or other animals getting into your compost pile, while open topped or sided bins do not. If you have a specific shape or size of bin you want, it is easy for you to make your own custom compost bin. Most home compost bins have a frame made of wood and sides that can either be wood or wire mesh. Depending on your needs, aim for the bin to be at least 1 cubic yard or 1 cubic meter, as this will give you a decent amount of compost while not taking up too much space in your yard. A 1 cubic yard compost bin will be about 3 feet (0.91 m) tall and the sides will be 4 feet (1.2 m) wide. While compost containers keep compost contained and can help keep rodents and other animals at bay, it is also OK to make a composting pile right on the ground. All that is required is a designated space where your yard debris and kitchen scraps can be piled up. While having a bin will keep the process neater and will help to discourage animals if you are composting food scraps, having a simple pile will make turning and maintaining the compost quicker and easier. While having a...

Article in English: Your computer may be pre-installed with a default program (Windows Movie Maker or iVideo); if not, you should be able to download free video editing software from the Internet.  Make sure that the clip shows exactly what you need to prove your point. Whether you caught a sibling stealing from your room or a coworker stealing from your cubicle: the clip should start a few seconds before the crime and end a few seconds afterward. Save the relevant footage in a new video file, but do not delete the extra footage just yet. Sometimes evidence appears where we least expect it. You may find something interesting when you review the extra footage. If you plan to use this video to make any sort of legal or professional case, it is important to protect your evidence.  Consider emailing yourself a copy of the file. Even if someone goes to drastic measures to find and delete the footage from your computer, you will have a remote copy that you can download onto any computer with an internet connection. For the same reason: consider saving the footage onto a USB flash drive. Keep the drive in a safe place. Be tactful. Tell them that you know that they were sneaking around in your things, and ask them them not to do so again.  You do not need to bring up the hidden camera immediately. It may come in handy later on, if they continue to sneak around after you've asked them to stop. If they own up to their snooping ways when you confront them, then you don't need to show them the evidence. If the snooper knows that you've hidden a camera somewhere, and knows where you've hidden it, they may find a way to sneak around it. Don't reveal your trump card right away. Some people don't learn the first time they're caught. Be aware that depending on who you're dealing with, merely catching the snooper in the act once may not stop them from snooping in the future.

Article in English: Your computer should have a thin, wide slot on its housing; this is where the SD card goes.  Make sure you insert the SD card angled side first and label side up. Many newer Macs don't have an SD card slot, so you'll need to purchase an SD-to-USB adapter in order to connect your SD card. It's a blue, face-shaped icon in the Dock.

Article in English: Your contact lenses may have a recommended wear duration, depending on the type of contacts you purchased. If you're unsure about your contacts, check the packaging or call your eye doctor to inquire about how long you can continuously wear your lenses. Most contact lenses fall into one of the following categories:  Daily wear — These lenses are often the least expensive, and therefore may be one of the most prevalent types of lenses. Daily wear lenses must be removed each night to be cleaned and disinfected. Extended wear — These lenses can be left in while you sleep and for several days in a row, but must be removed at least once every week for cleaning and disinfecting. Even with extended wear lenses, though, there is still a risk of eye infections if left in overnight or for too many days in a row. Thus, it is best to take your contacts out every night. Disposable lenses — This type of lens does not need to be cleaned/disinfected, but must be thrown away after the prescribed length of time has passed. Depending on the type of disposable lens you purchase, your lenses may need to be removed and replaced every day, every week, or every month. One easy way to determine if you've been overwearing your contact lenses is to assess whether you've kept them in overnight. Some contact lenses are made for round-the-clock continuous use, but many need to be removed and soaked overnight.  Only wear your contact lenses overnight if your eye doctor has told you it is safe to do so. If you can't remember whether it's safe to leave your contacts in overnight, call or visit your eye doctor to ask for clarification. If your eye doctor has advised against leaving your contacts in overnight, you need to take your contacts out every night before bed. If you've been leaving them in, there's a good chance you've been overwearing them. One of the most common results of overwearing contact lenses is eye irritation. This can develop suddenly or over time. Eye irritation is not usually a medically serious problem if you remove your...

Article in English: Your contacts app should just be displaying the contacts that are stored on your device's memory. Note that the terminology in this section will vary a lot depending on your phone manufacturer. The features discussed may not be available on all devices.   The wording on this feature will vary a lot depending on your device. Look for a utility that allows you to transfer contacts from one account to another. If you don't have the ability to copy contacts to your Google account, you can still export your contacts as a file and them import them to Google. If you are prompted to select the account you want to move contacts from, select your phone's storage. Select your Google account in the list of accounts you can move your contacts to. This will ensure that they reappear when you sign back in with your Google account, and that they can be accessed from contacts.google.com. Your contacts will begin copying to your Google account. This may take a few moments if you are copying a lot of contacts. You can verify that your contacts were successfully added here. Sign in with the same Google account you copied the contacts to. If you see your contacts from your phone here, they have been safely backed up to Google. You may need to wait a little while for the contacts to sync.

Article in English: Your core includes the muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips and abdomen. Having a strong core that works in harmony dramatically reduces the risk of back injuries and pain from exercise. Making sure your core muscle groups are relatively strong before you start cycling is a good strategy to reduce the risk of back pain.  Cycling does not specifically strengthen the core body muscles, although it can certainly strain them.  In contrast, any exercise that utilizes the abdominal and back muscles in coordinated fashion is a good core exercise. For example, just trying to maintain your balance while sitting on a large exercise ball will work your core muscles. Do bridge exercises: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, keeping your spine in a neutral position and not tilting your hips. While contracting your abdominal muscles, raise your hips off the floor and hold the position for at least 30 seconds. Repeat five to 10 times daily. This will also help strengthen your glutes. Try planks: Start on all fours, with your hands flat on the floor directly beneath your shoulders. Extend your legs behind you so your hands and toes are bearing your body weight. Keep your back straight — don't let is sag or round up — and tighten your stomach. Hold for 30 seconds, then release. Repeat two to three times, gradually increasing the hold time of the exercise. A great activity that will strengthen your core and prepare you for cycling is swimming. Cycling can obviously strengthen your legs, but research has shown that if your legs are not strong enough before getting involved with cycling, then you're at higher risk of back pain. Scientists have demonstrated that when cyclists pedal to exhaustion, their hamstrings and calf muscles become progressively more fatigued, which negatively impact their spinal posture and putting them at risk for back pain. As such, consider increasing the strength in your legs before you embark on cycling as a hobby.  Strengthen you hamstrings by doing deep leg bends,...

Article in English: Your core is the area of muscles in the trunk of your body. The core stabilizes your body, and a strong core allows you to perform many other exercises much more effectively. To determine your core strength: Lay on the floor on your stomach. Place a long pipe, dowel, or ruler along your back. Place hour hands on the floor, shoulder-width apart. Do a push up with your legs straightened. If your chest and stomach leave the ground at the same time, then you have a stronger core. The plank is one of the fundamental core-building activities, working many muscles in your trunk at the same time. To do the plank:  Lie on the floor on your stomach and place your forearms on the ground shoulder-width apart. Push up with your arms into a push-up position, keeping your elbows and forearms resting on the floor. Keep your body straight and tighten your core muscles to help alleviate strain on your arms. Breathe evenly and hold for 60 seconds. Relax for 60 seconds and then repeat 1-3 times every day. Once you’ve mastered the plank, it may become too easy for you. Try a more challenging version of the plank with the side plank. To do a side plank, start in the regular plank position. Then place one forearm on the ground with your elbow directly under your shoulder. Stack your feet on top of each other, twisting your body so that one side is on the ground. Push your body up while keeping your body straight. Leg lifts will help strengthen your lower back and abdominal muscles. To do a regular leg lift, lie on your back with your arms to your sides. Alternating legs, lift one leg about 12 inches straight off the ground, slowly and steadily. Hold for about 10 seconds and then lower it slowly to the floor. Do not bend your knee. Do 10 repetitions of these for each leg. Repeat 1-3 times every day. To do a more challenging version, try lifting both legs off the ground at the same time. Raise them slowly and steadily until they are about 12 inches off the ground. Hold them steady for a count of ten and then slowly lower them to the...

Article in English: Your core values guide the way you approach life and love. Compare your own values to those held by your partner. If these core values differ too drastically, your lifestyles might be too incompatible to work out in the long-term.  Take all major values into consideration, including your faith, social beliefs, and plans for the future. For instance, if you definitely want to have kids but your partner is definitely against it, a successful relationship might be improbable. You'll also need to compare financial values. Consider the way you and your partner spend money. Once you share your finances, you need to be able to agree on how to spend and save money. Trusting your partner is important, but you should only extend trust to a partner who deserves it. To that end, you should evaluate whether or not your current partner is actually worth trusting.  Consider past experience. Ask yourself if your partner has been dependable and consistently supportive. A partner that has a history of breaking your trust may not be worth trusting anymore. If your partner has proven his or her trustworthiness but you still have difficulty feeling trust, the issue might lie with you. There might be some unrelated cause making it difficult for you to trust, and you will need to address that issue before you can build a lasting relationship with your partner. Different people will naturally draw different sides of your personality to the forefront. It will be much easier to maintain a successful relationship with someone who naturally draws out your positive attributes.  Essentially, you need to ask yourself if you're happy with who you are in the relationship. If this relationship makes you feel insecure, for instance, it might not be healthy to maintain, even if your partner isn't intentionally drawing out that side of you. If you're unhappy with who you are in the context of the relationship, you might be able to work through your problems with the help of your partner or a professional therapist. You will need to determine...

Article in English: Your corporation’s bylaws are an internal document that outlines how the corporation will govern itself and manage its day-to-day activities. In your bylaws, you can address the frequency of board of directors’ meetings, the number and name of corporate officers (i.e. President, Secretary, etc.), personnel policies, etc.  Though not submitted to the state, bylaws are important in proving the legitimacy of the corporation. They may even be necessary in applying for small business loans to help get your business off the ground.  You can draft your corporate bylaws, or you can have a lawyer draft them if you need additional guidance. You may also find free or low-cost legal assistance from legal incubator programs located in your state. You can find a list of programs available through the American Bar Association. The board of directors typically make important decisions at the initial board of directors meeting. Some of the decisions and actions that usually take place at the initial board of directors meeting include:  Selection of officers Adoption of bylaws Stock authorization and issuance Adoption of the official stock form and seal The board of directors will have to decide whether to operate as a C or S corporation. The biggest difference is that C corporations are taxed at two levels, also known as double taxation. The income that the corporation makes is taxed at a corporate rate. Then the income is distributed among the shareholders, and they have to pay income tax on those profits. The potential tax advantage is shifting the income between the corporation and the shareholders so that both pay taxes in a lower tax bracket. Other notable aspects of a C corporation include:  The corporation can deduct medical payments up to a certain amount established by the corporation. Only C corporations can become publicly traded companies. C corporation require additional paperwork and filing. The complicated tax forms will likely require an accountant. In contrast, S corporations circumvent double taxation...

Article in English: Your course syllabus is the sheet of paper that lists each session’s topic and required reading. Look over the titles, units, and other information listed in the syllabus to find clues about how the course’s larger themes fit together. Ask yourself, “How does the syllabus organize these facts and figures? Does it mention or hint at any key critical questions? What connections does it make between individual class sessions?” You can make a study guide or outline once you’ve looked over your syllabus and gotten a feel for how the class organizes information. Use the syllabus as a guide to structure and consolidate your study guide.  Your study guide won’t do you much good if it simply copies your class notes. Look for key themes in your class notes, pull out the essential information, and put it in your outline. For example, if you’re outlining class sessions on the Wars of the Roses, you could list key members (along with their dates and titles) of the houses of Lancaster and York in one section of your study guide. Then, you could outline underlying causes of the rivalry between the houses. Finally, you could list key battles and their dates, temporary truces and how they broke down, and the conflict’s resolution. When studying history, charts, drawings, and maps are sometimes the best way to visualize how the information fits together. In addition to being great study tools, making visual aids like timelines, family trees, and flow charts will help give you a bird’s eye view of the material. For example, making family trees and a timeline would come in handy if you’re trying to prepare for an exam on the Wars of the Roses. Your teacher is there to help you! If you’re not sure what they are looking for, ask them. For example, ask them what the exam's format will be, what the unit's main theses (or key ideas) are, and what information is most important.

Article in English: Your crush may make a point of touching your shoulder a lot, or of giving you big hugs. He/she may also touch a lot of other people in this way. Some people are simply more outwardly affectionate than others, and it can be hard to tell when these people are genuinely attracted to someone. Be careful how much you read into the actions of a very flirtatious person.  Be aware that he/she is not only attracted to you. Even if this person has a crush on you, there's a good chance that he/she encounters other attractive people. Don't be discouraged just because there's a bit of competition! Eventually, you might be able to distinguish this person's "attraction" behavior from the way that he/she acts around platonic friends. It may not be what you expect. Some people even clam up and get uncharacteristically shy around those whom they like! If someone is attracted to you, you should feel the general warmth of this person's attention on you. Perhaps he/she talks about sensual things or sensitive things; perhaps he/she is always asking you how you're doing. It can be a hard thing to intellectualize – sometimes, you may find that you can feel a palpable energy between yourself and another person. This is no exact science, and attraction usually won't be clear from just one behavior. Use your best judgment. If you caught someone staring at you from across the room, once, then that could mean almost anything. However, if you interact with this person often, and he/she laughs at your jokes, mirrors your gestures, makes a point to touch you and be near you – you might begin to reasonably assume that he/she is attracted to you. Ask a friend, if you aren't sure. If a friend of yours has seen the two of you together, he/she might be able to give an outsider's perspective on whether the person is attracted to you. Make sure not to ask a mutual friend that might spill the beans!

Article in English: Your curls will set best if your hair is slightly damp when you put it up. Wash and dry your hair as normal, then blot it dry. If you don’t need to wash your hair, you can just spritz it with plain water from a spray bottle, instead. Use a wide-toothed comb to detangle your hair, as well. Pull the headband down so it sits low on your forehead and circles around the back of your head, over your hair. Your curls will start where the headband sits, so adjust it based on how you want your curls to look. This is a great option if you want to go out while your curls are setting! Your hair will be pulled up in a soft, romantic style. Try picking a headband that will match your outfit for the day! Once you’ve wrapped the first section around the headband, take another section of hair that’s about the same size as the first one, and wrap it in the same way. Keep doing this until you’ve wrapped all of your hair around the headband. To make sure your curls are even, you may want to wrap all the way around one side, then move to the front of the other side and work toward the back again. You’ll need about 4-6 hours for your hair to dry, or a little more if you have very thick hair. You can wear this style out, or you can sleep in it if you’d prefer. Either way, check to make sure your hair is completely dry before you take it down, or your curls might fall out. To speed things up, you can use a hair dryer on the cold setting to blow air over your hair. Take out all of the pins around the whole headband, then gently unwrap each section of your hair. When you’ve unwrapped all of your curls, slip the headband off of your head.  This style will give you pretty, vintage curls. Lightly scrunch your curls with mousse or hairspray to hold them in place.

Article in English: Your current book cover could be mostly attached or it may be hanging on by a thread; regardless, carefully remove the entire cover including the spine from your book. Use an x-acto knife with a fresh blade to remove excess glue, ripped pages, or threads that are sticking out from the text block. Measure the covers and spine you just removed, or measure the text block itself. If you choose to do the latter, add an additional 3/8 inch to the height. Use the measurements you've just taken to cut out three pieces of bristol board. You should have two cover pieces and the spine. Select a piece of sturdy cotton or linen fabric to act as the book cloth. Place the three pieces of the bristol board onto the cloth, with 3/8 of an inch in between each cover and the spine. Measure a 1 inch margin around the entire cover, and cut out the fabric into this large rectangular shape. Add a thick layer of book binding glue to the backside of your board cutouts, and place them in the same location as they were when you measured the fabric. Cut the corners of the fabric off at a 45 degree angle, and fold all the edges of the fabric over onto the inside of the covers. Add more binding glue to the inside, and use a bone folder to stick the fabric in place. A new cover needs end pages to glue the cover to the book. Use heavy stock paper for the end pages. Use a needle to weave the thread between the new end pages and the old sections of the book. Add a solid layer of glue to the inside of the front cover, and place the text block on the back cover. Fold over the end page in the front, and use a bone folder to smooth it out and securely glue it to the front cover. Repeat the same process with the back cover. Place the book in a book press overnight to dry. Place a piece of waxed paper in between the end pages and the text block to prevent pages from sticking.

Article in English: Your customer is coming to you for knowledge, expertise, and the best shoe they could possibly wind up with. In this situation, you need to be the expert. Don't just show them the shoe, but also help them learn something new about the product. What materials is it made out of? What season is it from? What was it inspired by? This can also help you offer them something else, should the first shoe they're drawn to not work. With an encyclopedic knowledge of everything you have to offer, you're bound to find something that catches their eye. With time, you'll slowly be able to recognize types of customers (generally speaking, of course). You'll recognize those customers with a sense of purpose and those customers who are just browsing, those that know exactly what they're looking for and those that haven't a clue. But beyond this, ask them questions. Get to know them. When you have their information handy, it ultimately saves them time and money! Aim to greet and meet every customer that walks in your door. Smile and get to them as soon as possible, but without pouncing, to start building a relationship. Give them a second to evaluate the store and then ask how their day is going and how you can help. Offer to measure both of their feet to make sure their size is 100% accurate. This will vary by brand a bit, too. While they are sitting ask them what the shoes are going to be used for to help you identify their needs and improve their experience. Run to storage and bring back the shoes requested, possibly also bringing back pairs that are slightly bigger or smaller, just in case (especially if they said sometimes they go back and forth between two sizes). Let's say you have a customer that came in looking for a nude, matte heel. They pick out one and request you to go get their size. While you're retrieving that pair, get a few more nude, matte heels you think they might like. They might not even have noticed the others in their haste to find the perfect shoe. This goes double if you know of any shoes you don't...

Article in English: Your cut is an entrance for unwanted bacteria into your bloodstream. Wash your hands with warm, soapy water before handling the area. Anti-infective or antibiotic creams and ointments are made to be used on superficial cuts and scrapes, but may not be appropriate for more severe injuries further up inside your nose. Ask your doctor if this product can be safely used to treat the cut inside your nose. Products like this can be purchased without a prescription at your local pharmacy. If your doctor approves, place a small amount of the anti-infective cream or ointment on the end of a cotton swab or on a small piece of gauze. Carefully apply the medicated cream or ointment to the area surrounding the cut. If you must use your hands to apply treatment, then be sure you have washed them thoroughly. Once you have applied the medication, leave the area alone. Keep your fingers away, and do not pick at the scab. Picking at the area can prevent the cut from healing and increase your risk of infection.  Gently cleaning the area and using a moisturizer safe for your nose may help to prevent the formation of large and uncomfortable scabs. Consider using the anti-infective ointment or a small amount of petroleum jelly or Vaseline to keep the area moist. This should help the cut to form smaller and softer scabs and help the area to heal on its own. Try using Nasya oil drops in your nose at night to soothe the area and promote faster healing. You can get these drops from an Ayurvedic medicine practitioner or a store that sells natural medicines and supplements. Depending on the placement of the cut, its length, and its depth, you may need to repeat the application of the medication every day, or every few days. Use caution so as not to introduce any bacteria.
