Article in English: You know the one: the beautiful (silicon-augmented) girl who spends all day shopping or sitting by the pool. You don't want your millionaire to want you only because you fulfill a specific picture, because that makes you very easy to replace. It doesn't set you apart. It's easy to find plenty of girls who fit that image. It's hard to find one that excites him and can match him in the things he enjoys or wants for his life. Another part of the cliché, of course, is that you only love him for his money. It's fine to want a guy that can provide for you, but you should choose a guy that can provide for you and that you also love and have a deep connect with. He doesn't want an obvious gold digger, because he knows that will just cause his peers to judge and pity him. He wants to feel loved. Most men, rich guys included, want a woman who respects herself. Why should he like you if you don't act like you think you're likable? Show him you're worth it by taking care of your body and appearance (eat healthy, exercise, dress for success, and practice good hygiene). Usually, rich men don't want a total bimbo. They're usually pretty smart themselves, and they want someone that can keep up with them. It's more interesting for them! Study hard in school and stay interested in learning once you're out of school. Go to college if you can, and if you can't, attend free online courses from services like Coursera and keep up on the latest TEDTalks. Rich guys usually partake in at least some cultural events and you need to be able to enjoy and fit in with that environment. Have a developed interest in music, art, literature, and film. Understand and explore foreign cultures, history, and politics too (since rich guys are often world travelers). No one wants to be with someone who's completely shallow, just an empty shell that never does anything. That's boring! Get out there and do things with your life. Have hobbies and dreams for the future (that you actively pursue, don't just sit around thinking about how much you'd like to...

Article in English: You know the phrase, "It takes a village?" Well, it does. Emotions are better handled when you have a strong support group to help you get through them. When you know you have shoulders to lean on, it becomes easier to handle anything – even without their help. Talk therapy can be a very effective treatment for any emotional issue, and you don't necessarily need to go to a therapist to find it. When you get wrapped up in an emotional cocoon that you'd rather not be in, talk it out. You may find that getting the words out lets the emotion out, too. If you’re feeling drained, stressed out, or overwhelmed by your relationship with another person, that may be a sign that you need to establish better boundaries. Setting boundaries might mean spending less time with the person, asking them to stop doing something that bothers you, or simply saying “no” to some of their requests. For example, you might say, “Susan, I’ve been feeling really stressed out about politics lately. Can we avoid that subject for a couple weeks?” The other person might be upset or disappointed, especially if they’re not used to you setting boundaries or telling them “no.” However, a good friend should respect your wishes, even if their feelings are a little hurt. You've probably been told before that "no one can make you angry but yourself," or something similar. And it's true – your feelings come from within you, and only you can choose how to react to them. Just because someone ran into your car doesn't mean they made you feel a certain way. So the next time you get angry at someone, take a step back, consider where that feeling is coming from, and recognize that you have the power to choose how you react. Next time you have a moment when you feel like someone else is pushing you to your limit, instead of getting heated up, take a breath and step away. Don't have the argument. Don't make the obvious insult. Think it out and stay in your zone. You will feel better and more in control of the situation and your own emotions. Co-dependency can...

Article in English: You know those Axe commercials where the women get woken from their slumber and follow their noses to the nearest guy donning the cologne? That guys needs to be you. Use your signature scent, whatever it is. James Bond doesn't smell like garlic. Maybe vodka once in a while, but never anything other than that. It should go without saying, but you need to be squeaky clean. Hop in that shower, lather up, rinse down and style your hair. You can keep your leg hair, but everything else needs to be...taken care of. You won't be tempting the ladies with a hobo beard, that's for sure. Nor a fu manchu 'stache. Hate to break it to you. The entire thing needs to go. No sideburns, no pork chops, no five o'clock shadow. Clean, clean, clean. And the chest hair peeping out from underneath your collar? That too. Watches! You don't need high tech watches that can detonate bombs (though if you have one laying around, by all means!), just one with style, like Rolex or Omega. Just find a good watch. A watch with class.  As for socks, long and black. Find a good pair from a good store and buy them for the rest of your life. Remember: long and black. Short and white? NO. Long and black. Have a holster on hand? Awesome. Shove that onto your side. No questions asked. If you're walking down the street, what does your shadow on the pavement look like? Are your pants the right length? Does everything come together at your middle, giving you a slight triangle shape? Are your sleeves not too long and not too short? We're not playing Goldilocks here! All the parts need to be great on their own, but they also need to be great together. Take a look at your entire outfit once you've pieced it together. Does it seem to gel? Odds are you don't don a tux all too often. However, you gotta rock it like it's just a normal Tuesday. You know nothing besides Tom Ford and Brioni. This is what you wear when you're feeling down. This is what you wear when you want to convey indifference to the ladies. This is what you wear by yourself when you're...

Article in English: You know what can blow money all around a room and keep it flowing way more effectively than your own bare hands? A giant fan. Set it on a high level with enough room in front of it to add your stacks o' cash. Turn it to the on position when it's not plugged in. That way, when you go to plug it in, you're in front of it when it turns on, ready to get rained on and rained on and rained on as your dead presidents swirl through the air. Sure, you could make it rain by yourself. You could run around your room, spreading the dough, raining on your bed as part of your nighttime routine, and then go to sleep comfortably on your piles and piles of simoleons. Or -- OR -- you could take your stacks and liven up any party, a coffee date with a friend, or dinnertime with your parents. Think of the endless possibilities! You'll probably want to coordinate together beforehand. Springing it on them could result in them diving for your cash or thinking you're a money-grubbing materialist. And who knows? Maybe they'll want to make it rain with you -- talk about a flood of money! Go big or go home, right? If you're gonna make it rain, might as well make it rain. If a helicopter isn't readily available, find a high point you can drop it from. The rooftop, the Eiffel Tower, a mountain -- just be ready to make the news! For the record, with this, you won't be getting your bucks back. The wind can be a cruel, cruel mistress. Who says you have to make it rain in the comfort of your own home or outside in nature? Walk into your local Starbucks and get to precipitating! Or skip the Starbucks where everyone can afford $4 lattes and make it rain at your local homeless shelter or, well, Walmart. What better way to get active in your community? And then watch as people look around at each other, wondering who's going to make the first pounce. How long do you think it'll take? At first everyone will be convinced it's fake -- what happens when the first person realizes that you're making it rain certifiable ducats? ..Or just pick it back...

Article in English: You know what your normal period is like. Whether it's heavy or light, you know what to expect from your period. Implantation bleeding should be lighter than your period, though, because you're not shedding the whole lining of your uterus, plus it usually won't last as long as your period. Implantation spotting normally occurs before the expected period. You should only see a few spots of blood, plus it will be lighter in color, usually pink or brown, as opposed to the bright red of period blood. When you're PMSing, you may have mood swings, but that is also a sign of early pregnancy. In both cases, the moodiness is due to hormonal shifts. Because both PMS and early pregnancy change the hormonal balance in your body, both can make your breasts feel swollen or a little painful. They might feel a bit more full if you are pregnant., Both PMS and implantation can cause you to feel extra tired. When you become pregnant, you can feel this symptom as early as one week in, most likely  because of an uptake in progesterone. However, PMS can also make you feel fatigued as well, also likely due to hormonal changes. Hormonal changes can also cause headaches. Therefore, you may experience them both during early pregnancy and when you have PMS. Cravings can crop up during PMS. Similarly, they can also appear during early pregnancy. Sometimes pregnancy cravings can be stranger but not always. PMS can give you either constipation or diarrhoea, due to hormonal changes. Pregnancy is similar, though it is more likely to give you constipation. Also, symptoms are more severe in later pregnancy. Usually, PMS symptoms will occur 1 to 2 weeks before you start your period. They usually disappear within a couple of days of starting your period. Implantation symptoms and early pregnancy symptoms generally occur around the same time; it's at the same point in the cycle that you either implant or shed the lining of your uterus and start your period.

Article in English: You likely know the basic content of a resume —  education, work experience, skills, awards, and hobbies. However, listing all that information is not enough. You must put thought into the order in which that information is presented on the resume.  College admissions committees are far more interested in your grades, work experience, skills and awards than they are in your hobbies and interests. As such, the hobbies and interests section of your resume should be presented toward the end of your resume. End with it, don’t lead with it. Prioritize individual activities as well. You can either list your activities chronologically, as you probably did in the “Work Experience” section, or from most to least impressive. Always remember that resumes are “top-down” documents, meaning you should lead with what you most want the reader to know about you. Although you may think of tennis or chess as a fun hobby, the language you use in your resume should indicate more gravity. Rather than titling your “hobbies and interests” section “Hobbies,” call it “Activities” or “Extracurricular Activities.” By using more formal diction, you subtly give the impression that you exercised dedication and professionalism in practicing these activities, rather than simply goofing around and having a good time. This is what colleges are looking for. All of the sections of your resume that include detailed lists should be formatted in the same way. The “Activities” section of your resume should be formatted the same way as the “Work Experience” section. There is no single correct method to use, but you want to make sure that you give yourself room to not simply list your activities, but expand on them in a concise manner.  Do not simply list all of your activities with commas. This suggests that you have nothing to say about what you did other than the fact that you did it. Break each activity into its own bullet point. Decide whether you will write in full sentences or short phrases. A resume should not be overly long — ideally, it...

Article in English: You lose water and electrolytes when you have diarrhea. The symptoms of dehydration, such as thirst, headaches and nausea are uncomfortable enough that they alone will make it harder to sleep. Stay hydrated by drinking, not just water, but also fluids with electrolytes. This includes both sugary and salty fluids such as:  Fruit juices. Fruit juice may make diarrhea worse in children. If your child prefers juice, try diluting it with water. Sports drinks Decaffeinated sodas. Fizzy drinks may aggravate diarrhea in children.

Beverages and foods with caffeine include:  Coffee Black or green teas Many sodas Many energy drinks Chocolate Foods that are difficult to digest are more likely to aggravate your diarrhea and cause you to have to run to the bathroom at night. Foods to avoid include:  Greasy or fatty foods. This includes a lot of fast food like fries, donuts, oily pizza, and fried and breaded meats and vegetables. Spicy foods.

High-fiber foods. High-fiber foods include whole-grain bread, whole-wheat breads and pasta, bran, and whole-grain cereals. Cut down on milk products. Both adults and children may have difficulty digesting milk during or after a case of diarrhea. It takes some children over a month to be able to digest milk after having diarrhea.

Article in English: You made a choice to do it (or not do it). It comes right back to your impulsive actions or willful inaction, your failure to respect her and your relationship and your willingness to hurt in to pursue something else that you felt mattered only to you. Whether you've had an affair, embezzled the household savings, committed harm against her, sullied her reputation, or whatever, the same issue lies at the heart of your actions––you made a bad choice and you lacked respect. You must truly want to restore what you had or at least start over. If you feel compelled to do so out of reasons beyond your own wishes (such as being pressured by family or social obligations), then it is possible you haven't learned your lesson and whatever you did will only rear its head again later. Instead, you must want to restore what you both had because it matters to you. You cannot gain back another person's trust when you feel compelled to lay any, some or all of the "blame" on that other person. Telling your wife that she seemed "too busy, too preoccupied, too bored, too shopping addicted, whatever", you are just making excuses for your behavior. This isn't about how she was failing to meet your expectations; you've destroyed her expectations of you, so this is all about rebuilding a broken foundation. Do not make it seem as if she was the cause, in any way. If you do that, she won't see your attempts to regain trust as genuine. End the affair, get a job to repay the lost funds, get counseling for your violent tendencies, get counseling for your sexual addition or pornography usage, etc. Whatever the problem, seek out and actually put in place the solution needed to stop the reason for the breach of trust. Without this positive sign of your willingness to make changes, she won't have any reason to trust that you have changed and are setting forth a new course. Cease all involvement with anyone that has been an issue. Even if you've been the flirty type when interacting with others, keep the flirting to a minimum. Explain what...

Article in English: You married your spouse, not your family. While his or her family members are part of the package, they are not a part of your intimacy and they do not share the same journey with the two of you. If you make it very obvious that you're not bothered by jealousy, insinuations, rumors or gossip, it will soon become clear to your S-I-L that her barbs, attitude and meanness aren't pricking you in the way that they used to. Eventually, it ceases to be profitable or enjoyable for her to keep bothering and most likely she'll begrudgingly go and find someone else to taunt and hassle.  Spend less time around your S-I-L. In what ways are you putting yourself in her pathway? While it may feel like you have to put up with her, you can find ways to reduce the time spent together. For example, ask other family members to meet you at different times than when she is around, more often than not. Don't always do this, or she will have a legitimate cause for complaining, but time spent with other family members shouldn't always involve her presence. If you live far away and have to visit once a year, stay in your own accommodation to give yourself respite. Take walks, get outside and don't overstay any welcome when it comes to drawn-out family events that press your buttons. Families know the pressure points better than anyone and unfortunately, some like to press them. At such events, your S-I-L probably has alliances that she can set in train to be even more effective, so the less time spent near such complaint-prone cliques, the better. When you are around your S-I-L, try active listening and acknowledgment in place of letting your fog of self-defensiveness take control. When she gets on top of her complaining mountain, instead of trying to topple her off with "if you think that's bad, you should live in my shoes" replies, actually focus on her and try to discern what is really driving her jibes, whining and gossip. By not making this about you, you may be truly surprised at what you unearth.As for responding to her,...

Article in English: You may accidentally harm your hedgehog if you react too strongly. This may cause you to drop or throw your hedgehog. This is easier said than done, but try and hold your composure. This will not only harm your hedgehog, but also conditionally teach it to fear you. A verbal reaction like “Ow!” or “Oh!” (or maybe even a swear!) will verbally condition the hedgehog that it will get a response from you because of a bite. This may teach the hedgehog to bite you further to elicit a response. Further, a loud verbal response might scare your hedgehog. This is a gentle way to discourage your hedgehog from its behavior. This will not harm the hedgehog and will teach it that biting is not something it should be doing. Try distracting your hedgehog if it is nipping you. This could be gently moving your hand or trying to gets its attention with a soft verbal cue. Remember, hedgehogs are curious so it may just be exploring and not biting! Do not immediately put the hedgehog back in its cage.  This teaches the hedgehog that it can go back to its safe space after doing something mean. This is cruel to your hedgehog and may hurt his health. Always feed and water your hedgehog appropriately.  Your hedgehog should always have a supply of clean water. You should be feeding your hedgehog a high protein, low grain diet.

Article in English: You may already have the qualifications you need for a job in another career field.  Clean up and update your resume and then take an objective look at the skills you already bring to the table.  Review your skills and decide which ones could easily transfer outside of your current career field. Take your work experience into account.  If you worked closely with other departments or on projects that involved things outside of your traditional responsibilities you may be able to cite those experiences as qualification. Many careers require a college degree or technical training that you may be lacking.  Educational limitations can put a snag in your career planning, but there’s always the option to pursue more or specialized schooling.  If you have a degree, look into what other career fields may draw from your educational background. Determine if your work experience could serve in the place of education for some jobs. Decide if you would be willing to pursue additional education in order to aid in your career change. You may be unhappy in your current position because it’s a bad fit for your personality.  Be introspective and try to decide what types of things your personality is well suited for.  If you enjoy speaking to people, that’s an important element to take into account as there are many career fields that require regular interaction with coworkers, employees or customers. If you are shy, it’s important to pursue work that won’t take you out of your comfort area often (unless that’s what you’re looking for). Consider taking a personality assessment.  There are many personality assessments available online and many community colleges offer free ones.  These tests can help you quantify elements of your personality you may not have accounted for. People are motivated by many different things, and determining those motivations can go far in helping you choose a career field.  Finding a career field that offers the types of motivation you need is a sure way to increase your professional fulfillment.  Are...

Article in English: You may already know that you invert the subject and the verb to ask a question in French. When asking a question using passé composé, you only invert the helper verb. Hyphenate the helper verb and the subject. The past participle immediately follows the subject. For example: "As-tu mangé?" (Did you eat?). In French, an object pronoun typically comes immediately before the verb of which it is an object. When you have a combined verb like passé composé, it comes before the conjugated helper verb.  For example: "Je l'ai rencontré à Paris." (I met him in Paris.) Use the same placement rule for reflexive pronouns. For example: "Je me suis amusé." (I had fun.) If you want to use passé composé to say that something didn't happen in the past, be careful not to include the past participle in your negative. Only place "ne… pas" around the conjugated verb – here, the helper verb avoir. For example: "Nous n'avons pas fini le travail." (We didn't finish the work.) If you want to write a negative sentence in passé composé for a verb that uses être, you place the ne…pas around the reflexive pronoun and the helper verb être. The ne precedes the reflexive pronoun and the pas follows after the conjugated form of être. For example: "je ne me suis pas amusé" (I did not have fun.)

Article in English: You may already know what foods cause you to have excess gas, but if not, start keeping a journal of the foods you eat to determine what foods seem to be causing your excess gas. Once you have determined what foods are causing your excess gas, limit your consumption of those foods or avoid them entirely. Some of the most common gas producing foods include:  Vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and cauliflower. Beans and other legumes. Fruits such as peaches, pears, and raw apples. Whole wheat products and wheat bran. Eggs. Carbonated drinks, fruit drinks, beer, and red wine. Fried and fatty foods. High fructose foods and drinks. Sugar and sugar substitutes. Milk and other dairy products. Eating too quickly causes you to swallow air, which may cause you to have excess gas. To prevent this side effect, take your time when you eat. Chew your food well and take breaks between bites to slow down your eating and reduce the amount of gas that you swallow. Chewing on gum or sucking on mints or hard candies can cause you to swallow excess air, which may lead to excess gas. Try brushing your teeth between meals instead to reduce the amount of excess air that you swallow. Drinking through a straw can cause you to swallow extra air, which can lead to excess gas. Instead of drinking through a straw, sip your drinks right from the glass. Ill-fitting dentures can cause you to swallow excess air when you eat and drink. If your dentures are not fitting well, schedule an appointment with your dentist to have your dentures adjusted.

Article in English: You may also buy rice seeds from a reputable supply store or seek help from the local agriculture field officer. There are six basic types of rice to choose from:   Long-grain. This type of rice produces grains that are light and fluffy. It tends to be a bit drier than other varieties.  Medium-grain. This type is moist, tender, slightly sticky, and a little creamy when cooked. It has the same texture as long-grain.  Short-grain. When cooked, short-grain rice becomes soft and sticky. It's also a little more sweet – this is the rice to use with sushi.  Sweet. This rice is sometimes called sticky rice, and is gooey when cooked. It’s often used for frozen products.  Aromatic. This type of rice has more flavor and fragrance than other varieties. This category includes Basmati, Jasmine, Red, and Black japonica.  Arborio. This type becomes creamy with a chewy center after cooking. It’s used primarily for risotto and other Italian dishes. Make sure the soil in the area you're planting consists of slightly acidic clay for the best results. You may also plant your rice seeds in plastic buckets with the same type of soil. Wherever you plant, make sure you have a reliable water source and a way to drain that water when you need to harvest.  Pick a location that receives full sunlight, as rice grows best with bright light and warm temperatures of at least 70° Fahrenheit (approximately 21° Celsius). Consider the season – your area needs to allow for 3 to 6 months of plant and flower growth. Rice needs a long, warm growing season, so a climate like the southern United States is best. If you don't have long periods of warmth, it may be best growing your rice inside. 5 to 56.5 g) of rice seeds to sow. Soak the seeds in water to prep them for planting.

Article in English: You may also call this the floor of your mouth. This provides an easy to access boundary for your tongue. You will be using the inside of your mouth as a guide while you learn. You really do not need anything else. The bottom of the mouth along with the teeth and lips should provide all the necessary surfaces for the tongue taco shape. Try to touch all three sides (don't worry about the back) of your mouth at the same time. Stretch your tongue so you are applying pressure to each side. You may even feel like your tongue is going under your teeth. Now try to move each side of your tongue independently. Keep your tongue flattened. With pressure on each side of your mouth, release one side a little and move it up that side of the mouth. For example, while keeping pressure on the left side, attempt to touch your teeth with the right side. Try touching the top of your mouth. Switch to the other side and do the same thing. As you learn to move each side independently you will gain more tongue dexterity. Hold your tongue down flat and move one side up. Then move the other side. You should now be holding your tongue flat while the sides are touching each side of your mouth on or above your teeth. If you look in the mirror, you will see your tongue is beginning to fold. If you look in the mirror and your tongue doesn't appear to look flat, keep practicing flattening your tongue and moving the sides independently. What's happening is you are using muscles in the middle of your tongue to raise your tongue. These muscles should be holding your tongue to the bottom of your mouth. Once you open your mouth you should have the start of your tongue taco shape inside. As you push your tongue out of your mouth, keep pressure on the sides. Press the bottom of your tongue against your bottom front teeth. As your tongue exits, use your lips to hold the round shape. You may find it easier to keep your tongue wrapped around something like a drinking straw as you push your tongue out. Keep the sides of your tongue against the sides...

Article in English: You may also use spot exfoliation to help remove the ingrown hair. Remember to be very careful with the area. Use gentle, circular motions to try and dislodge the hair. Make a natural exfoliant at home instead of buying something from the store.  Mix ½ teaspoon of baking soda, sea salt, or sugar with one to two tablespoons of olive oil. Use a Q-tip or cotton ball to apply the mixture to the infected ingrown hair. Use the tips of one or two fingers to gently rub the exfoliating mixture using circular motions.  First, rub in using three to five clockwise motions. Then reverse, using three to five counterclockwise motions. Rinse off with warm water and pat. If you have an ingrown hair, you can start trying to get it out by using honey. Honey not only moisturizes the skin, but it also acts as an antibacterial. This helps prevent infection. The honey also helps to loosen and draw out the free end of the hair.  Use a Q-tip to apply a small amount of honey onto the ingrown hair. Allow it to remain for 20 to 30 minutes, or until it is dried. Rinse the honey off with warm water and pat dry. Repeat twice a day. One of the things you want to make sure you are not doing is over-drying your skin. Over-drying your skin can make the ingrown hair harder to extract. You want to keep the skin moist while you are trying to get the hair out. Use a bit of moisturizer on the infected hair after every treatment. This can help soften the skin and can reduce the risk of skin damage and scarring.

Article in English: You may also want to wear cotton gloves to handle your jewelry since fingerprints may show up on the crystals if you handle them with your bare hands. Your best bet is to use the dry cloth method for light cleaning or general maintenance of your Swarovski crystal jewelry. Use the lint free cloth to gently polish each crystal individually. Use a small circular motion to polish each crystal. Polishing your Swarovski crystal jewelry periodically with a lint free cloth is the best way to maintain the luster of your jewelry and keep it looking beautiful for years. Keep working until you have cleaned all of the crystals and you are satisfied with the results. If your crystal jewelry still looks dull or dirty, you can use a wet cleaning method.

Article in English: You may be a good candidate for Viagra (sildenafil) if you are suffering from erectile dysfunction, or the inability to hold an erection long enough to engage in sexual activity. It's important to discuss the medication with your doctor to make sure the drug is a healthy choice for you.  Inform your doctor if you're allergic to any drugs so that he or she can determine whether you may be allergic to Viagra.  Let your doctor know what other medications you're taking, including herbal supplements. Nitroglycerin and other long-acting nitrates used to treat chest pain are contraindicated with Viagra, which can cause the blood pressure to drop to dangerously low levels and lead to a heart attack or stroke. These drugs, which are prescribed for blood pressure and prostate problems, can also cause the blood pressure to drop too low when they are mixed with Viagra.

Article in English: You may be able to figure out which program you're supposed to use to open the file based on where the file is stored or what the file is named.  For example, if you found the DAT file inside of an "Adobe" folder, you can guess that an Adobe app is meant to open the DAT file. If the file is inside of a folder that contains other system files for your computer, it's probably best to leave the DAT file alone—it's probably used by your computer's built-in programs or features. If you received the DAT file as an email message or from a download site, try contacting the person who sent or uploaded the DAT file and asking what program they used to create the file. This is unlikely to yield much if you're asking on a crowded forum or a file-sharing site, but you should be able to get an answer out of a coworker or a friend via email. You may be able to use your computer's built-in text editor to view some (or all) of the DAT file's contents:   Windows — Open Notepad, then drag-and-drop the DAT file into the Notepad window.  Mac — Open TextEdit from your Mac's "Applications" folder, then drag-and-drop the DAT file into the TextEdit window. Depending on the DAT file, you may be able to see a line or two of text that determines the type of software used to open the file. Even if you don't see a line about the specific program you need to use, you might find a line that indicates the type of file (e.g., video or text) that the DAT contents are meant to be. Some programs—such as VLC Media Player, iTunes, Preview, and Notepad++—can be used to open a large number of file types without changing the files' contents. For example, VLC Media Player can open most video file extensions, while you can download and use Notepad++ on Windows to open virtually any text-based file. Unfortunately, if you haven't been able to determine the DAT file's origin program by this point, you'll have to start attempting to open the DAT file with different programs on your computer. You can do this by opening a program, dragging the DAT file onto...

Article in English: You may be able to get away before a goose becomes too aggressive if you see the warning signs of an attack. Pay attention to any potential signs of aggression when you're near a goose.  At first, a goose will bend its head back slightly. This indicates aggression. If the goose then bends its neck out straight, this shows the aggression is increasing. If a goose is about to attack, it will pump its head up and down. Geese may hiss or honk as well if they are becoming aggressive. If you notice warning signs of an attack, leave before the goose begins to chase you. If the goose sees you're backing away, it may decide you're not a threat. Back away slowly until you're a good distance from the goose and it's stopped making aggressive gestures. In the event the goose starts chasing you, back away slowly. Stay faced towards the goose and use your peripheral vision to guide your movements. Make sure to avoid anything you may trip over, as this may give the goose reason to attack. If you appear frightened or upset, a goose could take this as a sign of aggression. It's a good idea to maintain a calm, neutral demeanor when backing away from a goose. If you're struggling to remain calm, take a few deep breaths as you back away. Keep in mind that, while geese can be territorial, an actual physical attack is very rare. In the event a goose bites you or hits you with its wings, seek medical attention. Geese are strong, and can cause injury when provoked. You may require stitches or a cast if a goose attacks you. Go to the emergency room for assessment as soon as you get away.

Summary in Russian:

Следите за предупредительными сигналами надвигающейся атаки. Уйдите до того, как гусь погонится за вами. Медленно отступите, если гусь становится агрессивным. Сохраняйте спокойствие. Обратитесь за медицинской помощью, если вы получили повреждение.


Article in English: You may be able to prevent manic episodes from happening in the first place by practicing good sleep hygiene. This can be very effective at curing sleeplessness in individuals with bipolar disorder - even those in a manic episode. Consider developing a winding-down routine to get you in the right mind-frame for sleep. A nightly routine may consist of doing light stretching, tidying up your home, preparing your clothing for the following day, taking a hot bath, and reading a book. Try to do things that do not involve bright lights or technology since these things do not signal to your brain that it is sleep time. Do calming activities that indicate to both your brain and your body that sleep time is nearing. The bedroom should be associated primarily with sleeping. If you are a person that does work on your laptop in bed or watches TV while in bed, you may need to change those habits to get to sleep. Try moving distracting activities from the bedroom and do these in another area. If your bedroom is comfortable and inviting it will be easier to fall asleep there. Get a cozy mattress, bedding, and pillows to create an environment conducive to sleeping. In addition, cover your windows with black-out curtains to let minimal light in. Turn down your thermostat to a cool temperature. Depending on any medications you are taking, you may have already been instructed to limit these beverages completely. However, if you have been cleared to drink alcohol and caffeine, keep consumption to several hours before bed.  You may be surprised at the advice about not drinking alcohol before bed. Most people will feel drowsy after one or two drinks. Even though alcohol may help you fall asleep, it does not promote good quality sleep and you may wake up hours later and be unable to fall asleep again. Caffeine is a stimulant, so the last thing you want to do in the hours before bed is stimulate yourself even more than you already may be with manic symptoms. Cut caffeine intake in the afternoon to sleep better at night.

Article in English: You may be afraid to vocalize what you want from your girlfriend. As a result, you can become resentful when she doesn’t fulfill your needs. Take the guesswork out by simply talking to her about your desires and encourage her to do the same. State your needs using non-defensive "I" statements, like "I need you to trust me. I feel like you don't respect my privacy. I would appreciate it if you didn't go through my phone." Especially in arguments, it’s important to listen to what your girlfriend has to say. Let her speak her mind before you jump in. Showing this type of respect is important in a relationship, and shows her you care about how she thinks and feels. This isn’t to say you shouldn’t defend yourself. But allow her to get her feelings off of her chest before you state your point. Your sign of respect might encourage her to do the same for you. Blunt is best when it comes to sharing how you feel about your girlfriend. Let her know that you are very happy to be her partner. Tell her daily how much she means to you and don’t forget to compliment her.  Encourage her to reach her dreams and do what you can to support her while she is. Applaud her successes, and bolster her confidence when she is struggling. Be present at important events and occasions to cheer her on.  If she's sad and down, cheer her up by being there for her, listening actively and not judging her. Try not to say something hurtful that you will regret. It may be difficult for you not to, especially when you are extremely angry. Just remember, fighting is normal and healthy in relationships. Name-calling and using degrading words, however, are not. Walk away from the argument if you feel you are about to say something hurtful. Simply tell her you need to take a break for a moment and go cool down. Doing so could help to keep your relationship intact.

Having an outlet to calm and relax yourself will improve your ability to recover.  Take warm baths. Take deep breaths. Try meditation or yoga. Read a book or watch a movie. Get a massage. Exercise. Get to know yourself again by thinking about all the good qualities you have. Make a list of these and post them on your mirror. Include every compliment you’ve received so you can remember how other people think about you. This will also help you feel worthy again when you start up new relationships. Spend time doing exactly what you enjoy. Think about the hobbies that you enjoy or used to enjoy.  Be kind to yourself by giving yourself little gifts or treats.  Believe in yourself. You are getting stronger and more confident every day.

Article in English: You may be experiencing pain in your cavity after you eat. This might be due to food being stuck in the cavity. To help relieve the pain, rinse your mouth with warm water. Then, use a toothpick to gently and carefully get any food out of the cavity. Make sure not to poke too deep into the cavity because you could cause more damage to the tooth or gums. Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water is one of the most effective ways to help reduce pain in the mouth. Saltwater can help reduce acids in your gums, which may be leading to irritation and pain. Stir in a tablespoon of salt into a glass of warm or lukewarm water until dissolved. Rinse with the solution, making sure to swish it around the sore gum and tooth. Another way to help cavity pain is to use an ice pack. Place some ice cubes or crushed ice into a towel, balloon, or the cut-off finger of a non-latex glove to make an ice pack. Place the ice pack on the tooth if it isn’t sensitive to cold.  You can also place the ice pack on your face just over the painful area. You can also use an ice pack that you buy in the store instead of making one yourself. Make sure that you wrap the ice pack in a cloth or paper towel before you use it. You can leave the ice pack on for about 10 to 15 minutes. Then, remove it and give your skin a chance to return to its normal temperature. Hydrogen peroxide can help remove bacteria in the cavity and clean the area to help reduce infection. Swish your mouth with a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide. Keep it in your mouth for up to a minute.  Spit it out and make sure not to swallow this solution. Avoid using hydrogen peroxide solution for more than five days in a row or your teeth will get sensitive.

Article in English: You may be given certain information prior to beginning, and knowing the terminology will help you avoid any unnecessary steps. Here are the parts of the parabola that you'll need to know:    The focus. A fixed point on the interior of the parabola that is used for the formal definition of the curve.  The directrix. A fixed, straight line. The parabola is the locus (series) of points in which any given point is of equal distance from the focus and the directrix. (See the diagram above.)  The axis of symmetry. This is a straight line that passes through the turning point ("vertex") of the parabola and is equidistant from corresponding points on the two arms of the parabola.  The vertex. The point where the axis of symmetry crosses the parabola is called the vertex of the parabola. If the parabola opens upward or to the right, the vertex is a minimum point of the curve. If it opens downward or to the left, the vertex is a maximum point. The general equation of a parabola is y = ax2+ bx + c. It can also be written in the even more general form y = a(x – h)² + k, but we will focus here on the first form of the equation.  If the coefficient a in the equation is positive, the parabola opens upward (in a vertically oriented parabola), like the letter "U", and its vertex is a minimum point. If the a is negative, the parabola opens downward and has a vertex at its maximum point. If you have trouble remembering this, think of it this way: an equation with a positive a value looks like a smile; an equation with a negative a value looks like a frown. Let’s say you have the following equation: y = 2x2 -1. This parabola will be shaped like a "U" because the a value (2) is positive. If the equation has a squared y term instead of a squared x term, the parabola will be oriented horizontally and open sideways, to the right or left, like a "C" or a backward "C." For example, the parabola y2 = x + 3 opens to the right, like a "C." Remember that the axis of symmetry is the straight line that passes through the turning point...

Article in English: You may be more familiar with softener sheets by the name of dryer sheets, but in either case, the odor fighting properties of this product are perfect for de-stinking shoes. You can simply push a sheet into each shoe, or you can slip one underneath each insole. Used dryer sheets can also be used to combat shoe odor. This is a great way to recycle, and will leave your shoes smelling laundry-fresh. Dryer sheets are relatively thin and light, and the heat of your foot will help release its odor fighting ingredients. However, sometimes dryer sheets can bunch up in the toes of your shoe and become uncomfortable. If you find this happens to you, leaving dryer sheets in your shoes while you're out and about might not be the best option.  Most sheets will last about a week before the odor fighting potential is lost. Once your dryer sheets stop smelling fresh, you can throw it out and replace it with a fresh one. If your shoes have thin insoles or you have sensitive feet, or if you find that dryer sheets uncomfortably wad up in your shoes, you may only want to use dryer sheets when your shoes are off.  A few hours with dryer sheets inserted will usually be enough to chase away the stink. Severe cases might benefit from a night spent with dryer sheets inserted in each shoe.

Article in English: You may be nervous about spending the night for the first time. However, remember that your boyfriend appreciates you for who you are. Not only that, he’s surely just as nervous as you. Take some of the pressure off by relaxing together and doing things you normally enjoy together.  Your boyfriend is probably nervous about you seeing what his house and room look like. Put him at ease by letting him know anything you like or appreciate about his living space. You can say something like, “I really like that poster you’ve got on the wall,” or, “Wow, this is a great location you’ve got.” If his place isn’t that great to hang out in, you can go for a walk or a drive. Take your date elsewhere and come back just to sleep. This may involve washing your face, brushing your hair and teeth and doing anything else you need to do before going to bed. Of course, at home you may have a more involved routine, but keep it streamlined for tonight. That way, you won’t spend all of your time in the bathroom with your boyfriend wondering what you’re doing.  You don’t need to explain what you’re doing in the bathroom. He may wonder, but that’s fine. If you usually braid your hair at night or tuck it up in a rag, you might want to skip that for the first few nights you spend together, if you’re comfortable with that. The first night you spend the night with another person, your brain actually stays a tiny bit awake during the night as a way of keeping you safe. You may wake up when your boyfriend moves around or changes positions in the bed.  Don’t plan to sleep over at your boyfriend’s house for the first time the night before a big day at school or work. You may need to catch up on sleep with a nap the next day, even if you try to go to bed early. If you hadn’t planned on sleeping over, you may not have brought a change of clothes or thought about planning for what you’d sleep in. Even if you did plan, it may not have made sense to bring pajamas or a change of clothes. What you wear to sleep will depend on how comfortable you...

Article in English: You may be overwhelmed by all of the latest fad diets, but eating healthy is really not all that complicated! Try incorporating a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, lean proteins (including fish, chicken, legumes, and nuts), and healthy fats (including olive oil, salmon, and avocados) into your diet. Avoid processed foods, salty foods, added sugar, and fatty foods as much as possible.  Talk to your doctor about specific dietary changes you should make based on your personal and family history. Your diet can also have an effect on your mental health. Fruits and vegetables are thought to increase feelings of positivity, while fats and sugars are linked to feelings of depression. Regular exercise is a crucial component of a healthy lifestyle. Try to include at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise (like brisk walking) or 75 minutes of intense aerobic exercise (like running or dancing) into your weekly schedule. You should also incorporate periodic strength training to help tone your muscles.  In addition to improving your physical health, regular exercise can also decrease symptoms of depression.  Staying active is much easier if you find an activity that you genuinely enjoy. Try several new sports or exercise classes until you find something you really want to do.  Having an exercise buddy can also help keep you on track. If you are overweight, there are a few really easy things you can do to lose a few pounds, which can add up to major health benefits. Try keeping healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables in your house for those times when you get the urge to munch between meals. You should also try to be aware your motivations for eating.

Article in English: You may be passionate about obtaining an advanced degree, starting a family, creating a successful business or writing a book. Begin visualizing these goals and talk to competent people about how you might achieve your aspirations. Ask yourself what really makes you happy and try to follow your happiness. It is a bad idea to follow a life trajectory just because someone tells you to. However, other people will be able to recognize your strengths in an unbiased way that you often cannot. Listen to what they say about your strengths and weaknesses. Try to tailor your goals to your strengths. For example, if you are good at drawing, consider careers in visual design. If you are good at writing, think about how you can leverage that in your own career. That doesn't necessarily mean that you should commit yourself to being a novelist or an artist, which can be difficult careers. But you should consider other careers that utilize these skills, like advertising, architecture, interior design, or law. For example, you might have an innovative business concept, but not enough capital to get it off the ground. It is impractical to get into sports or some professional careers past a certain age. Talk to people who have followed the route you are entertaining to determine if it is viable option for you.

Article in English: You may be playing with your hair without realizing it. If you are trying to change a behavior you must stay present and aware of all your behaviors. You have prepared yourself to make a change and now you have the opportunity to follow through with your intent and gain confidence.   Slowing down and limiting the number of tasks you try to simultaneously perform will help you improve your awareness. Tell yourself things like, “Okay now, remember I am wide awake and paying attention and I’m not going to play with my hair.” Set a start date and identify all the action steps you will be taking to stop your habit. A well-laid plan will increase the likelihood of your success. You will have goals to achieve and ways to accomplish them. Don’t leave anything up to guess work. You know what you want, and if you don’t know how to get it, you can and will figure it out. Realize that playing with your hair is a common affliction, but it may have developed into an addiction. Most behaviors are measured on a continuum, which ranges from slight to moderate to severe addiction. If playing with your hair has become an uncontrollable habit that causes problems in your personal life, then perhaps it’s time to do something about it.  Although you should rely upon a professional to render an official diagnosis, you can evaluate your behaviors and decide the level of care and action you would like to take. There may be instances when others may disagree with you and want you to take stronger action. On one end of the scale, you find mild cases that resolve on their own or require simple strategies to stop the habit. On the other end of the scale are conditions such as trichotillomania, a disorder that involves repeatedly pulling your hair out from your head, eyebrows or eyelashes. This extreme condition can leave a person with bald spots and skin irritations that interfere with daily life. This would affirm that you have an addiction and definitely need help to control or eliminate the behavior.  Extreme hair playing is...

Article in English: You may be referred to a physical therapist where you will be taught the proper ways to bend and lift things. This helps regulate how your muscles contract and relax. Physical therapists are experts in addressing musculoskeletal problems, and can teach you how to better handle your condition throughout life. Osteoporosis is one of the most common conditions that affects bone composition, and can lead to spinal degeneration. Osteoporosis can be managed with certain medications. However, before starting the treatment of osteoporosis, other potential diagnosis have to be excluded (such as vitamin D deficiency, parathyroid hormone levels, etc.). Under strict instructions given by the physician, the underlying condition can be managed and treated with medication. Some types of infections can cause spinal degeneration, and can be treated with antibiotics. Antibiotics can eliminate the bacteria causing the infection, and allow for the proper regeneration of the spine.  Proper identification of the microorganism involved, and the instructions about the antimicrobial resistance of this microorganism, given by the antibiogram, are key steps in effectively removing the pathogenic bacteria. Strict guidelines should be followed when the bacteria is identified, in terms of which antibiotics should be given, their dosage, and how many days they should be taken. In case a fungus is identified as a pathogen responsible for causing the symptoms, the right anti-fungal agents should be administered by the guidelines previously mentioned above. You may want to try using a corset (firm belt) that helps to support the back and reduce pain. The belt is worn around the back, extending to the abdomen and it should be worn during the day when the patient is undertaking the activities of daily living. The belt acts to reduce stress on the muscles and spine. Sometimes, a therapeutic massage for the whole body can work wonders. Massage can relieve pressure and tension on the joints in the body.

Article in English: You may be restricted on where you can draw your piercing if you want to make it look as realistic as possible. Hoop piercings are more difficult to draw on because of the depth perception usually made by the hoop shape.  You may not be able to draw a realistic hoop on your eyebrow, but it should work for the nose or lip. Fake septum hoop piercings are not achievable if drawing on the hoop. A white base will guarantee that your liquid liner pops out in the light, you want your piercing to be noticeable. Use a cream formula, this will hold more to the skin and last longer.   Use a white eyeliner pencil. Use a thin makeup brush and dip it into your leftover white Halloween makeup. A liquid liner will be more effective in faking a facial piercing because it is more vibrant than gel or charcoal liners. Choose any color you want for the eyeliner, be creative with it!  Metallic colors such as silver or gold will definitely look the most realistic when compared to actual piercings. Do not use the applicator that comes with the liquid liner because it may go on too thick to start, which might not be what you want. Use a thin makeup brush or a thin paintbrush to apply your liner.  Dip your thin brush into the bottle of liquid eyeliner and apply as much or as little as you want, depending on how thick you want your “fake” piercing to look. For a fake hoop lip piercing, try applying your liner vertically down the center of your bottom lip.

Article in English: You may be surprised to discover how deeply ingrained this habit is—both physically and mentally. Breaking it will help your brain cope with attempting more involved tasks down the road.  If you open doors with your right hand by default, start opening them with your left. If you usually take the first step on a staircase with your right foot, do it with the left. Keep working at it until leading with your left feels natural and easy. Good activities to start with include:  Eating your food (especially using a spoon). Blowing your nose. Scrubbing dishes. Brushing your teeth. Dialing phone number and writing SMS on a cell phone. Now that your left hand is comfortable with sloppier movements like scrubbing and brushing, begin refining your hand-eye coordination.  Tracing is a great place to start: having a defined edge to work with will help force your eye, which is visually tracing the outline, and your left hand, which is physically tracing it, to work in sync. Trace your right hand onto a piece of paper. Pushing the pencil against 3-D contours will help guide the left hand. Graduate to tracing 2-D images. You can think of this as taking down the gutter guards at the bowling alley. The hardest thing is to remember to use your non-dominant hand consistently during the day, so you need a good way to remind you not to use your dominant hand.  The thumb is used in almost every situation you use your dominant hand. Not being able to move it freely is an excellent way to make you aware of all the times you are using it—so try tying your right thumb to your right index finger with a piece of string. You could also try wearing a glove on your right hand or putting your right hand in your pocket or behind your back.

Article in English: You may be tempted to go all out when you get started in your run, but try to reign in that impulse because you’ll tire out quickly. Instead, run at a pace that you know you can sustain almost indefinitely. Stick to the pace that you set. Keep track of your time and the distance you’re covering so you can track your pace and adjust to keep it consistent. Keep your chin up and your shoulders back but relaxed so you’re not holding tension. The only muscles that should be kept tight are your core muscles. Holding tension in your neck and shoulders can strain your neck and fatigue your muscles, which means you won’t be able to run as long. Keep your upper body relaxed while you run. Hold your arms at a 90-degree angle at the elbow and keep them tight to your body as you run. Move your arms back and forth at the shoulder to help balance your body as you run and to give you forward momentum. Swinging your arms also helps keep the movement of your legs in rhythm. At the top of every new mile, spend the first minute breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. Focusing on breathing through your nose will help you get your breathing back into a rhythm. When you breathe deeply through your nose, it causes you to breathe from your belly, incorporating your diaphragm, which stabilizes your care and will help you run further without getting tired. as you run. Keep track of the intensity of your run by monitoring your heart rate so you don’t push too hard and tire yourself out. Wear a heart rate monitor device or a fitness tracker that can keep track of your heart rate so you can monitor it while you’re running. Start running with a friend to boost your motivation. Look in your area to see if there are running groups that you can join to help you improve. The more you run, the better you’ll be at running without getting tired and a buddy or group can help motivate you to go running.  Running with a group will also add a little bit of competition, which can help make you feel less tired. The social interaction...

Summary in Russian:

Установите хороший темп. Расслабьте шею и плечи во время бега. Двигайте руками вперед-назад, когда бежите. Восстанавливайте ритм дыхания, чтобы не уставать. Наблюдайте за сердцебиением во время бега. Бегайте с другом или присоединитесь к группе бегунов.


Article in English: You may be tempted to humble yourself publicly when apologizing to your partner. For example, you may think that your partner will be touched by your willingness to open yourself up to embarrassment and judgment by posting a long apology on your Facebook wall. All this does, though, is place the focus on you and make your private business public. You should even think twice about doing things like sending bouquets of flowers or apology presents to your partner's workplace. This will only draw attention from his/her coworkers—they will want to know what the occasion is—and your partner may not want to discuss your relationship problems at that time and place and with those people. It's important that you understand why you cheated, but an explanation is not the same thing as a justification. Even if there are underlying problems in your relationship (for which you both may be responsible), you alone are responsible for cheating. Your goal in this discussion is to make sure your partner hears you acknowledge your mistake. You're not fully accepting responsibility if you frame your language by saying “I'm sorry if I hurt you,” or “If you hadn't turned me down so often I wouldn't have looked for a sexual outlet”. This sort of language will make your partner feel as though you are trying to shift the blame away from you. Instead of saying “I'm sorry if I hurt you,” acknowledge the fact that you are the direct cause of your partner's suffering: “I know my actions hurt you, and for that, I'm very sorry.” Whether your partner caught you in the act, uncovered the evidence of your affair, or whether you confessed, s/he will most likely have a lot of questions for you.  Your partner may want to know the details of your affair: how you met, how often you were together, why you decided to stray, whether or not you love the other person, etc. If you shut down now and refuse to answer your partner's questions, you are creating a wedge between the two of you. This will lead to further distrust and hurts your ability to...

Summary in Russian:

Не делайте это публично. Примите ответственность за свои поступки. Избегайте  использования слова “если”. Будьте готовы к трудным вопросам. Отвечайте честно, но дружелюбно. Заметьте, что ваш партнер не будет вести себя рационально в ходе подобной дискуссии. Попросите прощения, не ставя условий. Попросите прощения, не ожидая, что вас примут обратно. Пусть партнер знает о ваших желаниях. Слушайте своего партнера. Уважайте себя и партнера.


Article in English: You may be tempted to work in your pajamas every day, but taking the time to get dressed can help get you into the right mindset for work. Even if you aren’t going anywhere or planning on a video conference with your boss, put on some clothing so that you don’t always feel like you’re in relaxation mode.  This doesn’t mean you have to put on a nice blazer or a tie, although that’s fine if it helps you get into the right zone. Just put on some clean, daytime-appropriate clothes.  Take time to attend to the rest of your grooming, too. Take a shower, brush your teeth and hair, and do any of the other things you would normally do to prepare for a day at work. Even though you’re working at home instead of in an office building, it’s still important treat your work like work. When you communicate with bosses, fellow employees, and clients or customers, speak to them the same way you would if you were working on-site. Stay courteous, polite, and congenial. Edit your emails and other written communications carefully to avoid grammar and punctuation errors. Respond to calls, chat communications, and emails in a timely manner. This will let your bosses, coworkers, and clients know that you are taking your work and their needs seriously. Staying in the loop and keeping the lines of communication open are important when you’re working from home. If you’re working for an employer rather than running your own home business, try to check in occasionally. Give updates on how you’re doing, ask any questions you may have, and find out if there are any new developments that you should know about.  Take advantage of multiple forms of communication, such as email, chat programs like Slack, your phone, or video calling programs such as Skype or Zoom. Staying in touch can also help working from home feel less lonely and isolating. Avoid blurring the boundaries between work time and down time by getting out of “work mode” at the end of the day. Close your work chat program, stop checking your business email, and let work calls go to...

Summary in Russian:

Одевайтесь так, как вы одевались бы на работу. Общайтесь с коллегами и клиентами в деловом тоне. Поддерживайте контакт с работодателем и коллегами. Не занимайтесь работой в нерабочее время.


Article in English: You may be too worried about what you’re going to say next or may be really excited to share your opinion about something to notice what the person you’re talking to is telling you. Maybe that person has a secret he’d really like to share, or maybe something is off and he’s clearly upset though he hasn’t said this explicitly. Pay attention to what the person is saying so you can respond appropriately.  You don’t want to seem self-absorbed by ignoring signs that the person wants to talk or has something to share. If the person seems like he’s not telling you the full story, or if something really exciting happened to him, then give him his turn to speak.  Carefully read over what the person wrote, especially if the message is really long, before responding. You don’t want to look like you’re only half listening when you ask a question about something the person just told you one minute ago. If the person is talking about something important and serious, then make sure you’re free to really engage with him. If your friend is telling you about her grandmother’s death, then you should call her and talk about it instead of half-answering her because you’re in your math class. One thing to keep in mind when you pick up your phone to start a texting exchange is that you shouldn’t put too much pressure on yourself. Don’t worry about saying the most perfect first line or telling the most hilarious story. If you obsess over this too much, then it will take way too long for you to actually contact the person you want to talk to, or to continue the conversation; the person may think you’re busy or losing interest when in fact, you’re obsessing over what you’re going to say next. It’s much better to keep the flow of an imperfect, natural conversation than to spend ten minutes crafting the most amazing story ever. Plus, you don’t always know what the person you’re texting is up to, and you may have missed your chance to talk to that person for hours. If you just started a texting conversation, or even if you’re in the...

Внимательно слушайте собеседника. Не думайте над сообщениями слишком много. Запаситесь терпением. Соблюдайте баланс. Позвоните, если нужно обсудить важную тему. Используйте беседу, чтобы сблизиться с человеком.


Article in English: You may be uncomfortable perpetuating the Santa story or feel discomfort about lying to your child, and those are legitimate concerns shared by many. On the other hand, you may want your child to believe in something whimsical and magical, like Santa. How to deal with the Santa Claus story is a personal decision that can only be made by your family. Remember, though, that even if you do not share the Santa story in your own family, your child might still come to you with tricky questions about Santa. Perhaps they heard something at school or they have thought about the Santa story and it doesn't completely make sense. Acknowledge the question and praise them for their critical thinking. This is actually a positive developmental step. Determining their reason for asking will help you figure out the best way to proceed.  You might give this question some thought before it ever comes up, so that you are not caught completely off guard. This will help you respond more thoughtfully and slowly, rather than be reactionary. Ask your child very plainly, "Why do you ask?" or "Where is this question coming from?". Just because the child is asking questions doesn't necessarily mean that they are emotionally ready to believe the truth. They may just be curiously probing. Asking what your child believes will give you an idea of where they are emotionally and cognitively. If your child indicates that they still believe in Santa, despite any outside doubts, it's likely not time to tell them the truth yet. Respond to your child's question with a simple, "Well, what do you believe?" This allows them to reflect on what they think and whether or not they believe in Santa Claus. When your child answers your question about what they believe, they will tell you that they don't think Santa is real, or that they do but that they have questions.  This answer should guide how you proceed and you can either tell them the truth about Santa or let them continue to believe. They may also say that they do believe the story of Santa Claus,...

Оцените свои чувства. Узнайте побудительные причины вопроса. Спросите, во что верит ребенок. Подстройтесь под ответ ребенка.


Article in English: You may be uncomfortable sharing information about your partner's or your own mental health. Not everyone needs to know. Think about how a person will respond to the information before you disclose. You may not want to tell an employer who has not been supportive in the past. Only share when you feel safe and supported.  Start with the people you believe will be the most supportive. This will boost your confidence and create a buffer if you have to disclose to those less supportive later. Talk to your partner and make decisions about who should be told before you disclose to anyone other than a doctor or clinician. If your partner is suffering from depression, it's very important you not disclose without his or her consent. Disclosing without consent may contribute to feelings of helplessness and worthlessness. A lot of people don't understand depression, so you may need to educate them. You can find resources online or ask your doctor for brochures to help you explain what you are experiencing. Family and friends will probably want a description of your symptoms to better understand what you or your partner is experiencing. They may also have questions about what might have caused the depression and how it can be treated.  You might try writing out answers to these common questions, so you feel prepared when you disclose to others. Friends and family will probably also ask what they can do to help, so take this opportunity to ask for emotional support. If you are struggling to talk to friends and family about depression, ask a professional for advice. Doctors and clinicians have to talk to people about diagnoses all of the time, so they have lots of insight. Because your doctor is familiar with your specific case s/he may have really great suggestions. You might even consider inviting a friend or family member to your appointment so s/he can ask questions in an environment that feels safe for you. If your partner is suffering depression and isn't talking about it, consider asking your doctor or clinician to...

Article in English: You may be unknowingly exposing yourself to geopathic stress. There may be a disturbance underneath your bed, your dining room table, your bathtub, or your your favorite chair. If you have identified a potential trouble spot, rearrange your furniture to avoid spending too much time over or near the point. It may be that the disturbance covers a large area. If you can’t re-position your bed or other furniture away from the stress lines, you will have to consider other options, like tools to neutralize the disturbance or to enhance your own energy field. The traditional Chinese art of Feng Shui studies the interaction of humans with their environment. Taken further, Feng Shui can allow you to influence these interacting energies to improve your life. Find out more about its principles and apply them to your living space. While the idea has no basis in science, some people think that Feng Shui can specifically address geopathic stress. This is because they see the Earth’s resonance as the unifying force between Heaven’s chi (virtual) and Earth’s chi (actual). The Schumann Resonance, they think, allows feng shui remedies to work better. A popular and simple method is to place metal rods at strategic points in your home or anywhere you suspect a geopathic disturbance in order to block or neutralize the distorted flow of energy. These points should be verified by dowsing. To make the method work, you’ll also have to know the flow of the earth lines. The rods can be copper, brass, or steel. Some people also feel that they can use other objects to redirect the flow of the Earth’s energy, and resolve disturbances. Called “earth acupuncture,” this method involves placing things like leaves, crystals, flowers, or shells at strategic points. Some people think that oak trees mysteriously developed a natural resistance to geopathic stress. In particular, the bark of the cork oak is believed to be effective as a barrier. Try placing cork tiles under your affected bed, for example, to absorb the geopathic chaos. You should...

Article in English: You may be very nervous approaching your mom. However, one simple sentence can easily get the conversation going. Take a few deep breaths and approach your mom to start talking.  Try something simple. For example, "Mom, could we talk when you're not busy? There's something I want to tell you." If you're nervous your mom will be mad, try to give her a head's up about this. For example, "Mom, something happened that I think you might be upset about. I need to talk to you about it anyway, even if you end up mad at me." There's no sense hovering around the subject. If you have something important to talk about, bring it up right away without hesitating. Being as direct as possible can help the conversation start off in an open, honest place.  Provide your mother with everything she needs to understand the situation. Avoid hinting at anything. For example, start off with a clear, direct statement like, "Mom, I've been seeing Zak for every day now and he wants to go to a party for the first time. I'm not sure I'm ready, but he keeps telling me about it. I don't really know what to do." You may not necessarily want guidance. However, it's a parents' job to offer a child guidance. Even if you disagree with your mom, try to let her share her opinion without interrupting.  Try to understand your mom's point of view. If you're feeling frustrated with her, pause and try to step into her shoes. Consider why your mom may feel the way she does about a situation. For example, you're telling your mom a classmate is being obsessed with a certain subject. Your mom has a very negative reaction. While you may feel your mother is being judgmental, maybe she had a classmate develop a serious mental disorder in high school. This may be why she's having such a negative reaction. If you're sharing something private, there's always a chance your mother may not react the way you want. She may be upset, worried, or even angry. However, despite your mother's reaction, try to stay calm. You do not want the situation to turn into an...

Summary in Russian:

Начните разговор. Говорите прямо. Выслушайте точку зрения мамы. Ведите себя вежливо и почтительно на протяжении всего разговора.


Article in English: You may become frustrated when your well-meaning advice and reassurance are met with sullenness and resistance. It is important that you don’t take your loved one’s pessimism personally. It’s a symptom of the illness, not a reflection of you. If you feel that this pessimism is taking up too much of your energies, take a break and spend time doing something that you find inspiring and enjoyable.  This is especially important if you live with the person and find it hard to get away otherwise. Direct your frustration at the illness, not the person. Even if you don't hang out, make sure to check in at least once a day so you know your loved one is coping. The bigger their support network is, the easier it is for individual members to take time away. It is easy to get wrapped up in your friend’s problems and lose sight of yourself. Being around a person who is depressed could bring your mood down, or you may get your own issues triggered. Recognize that your feelings of frustration, helplessness, and anger are perfectly normal.  If you have too many personal issues of your own to sort out, you may not be fully able to help your friend. Don't use your friend's problems as a means to avoid your own. Recognize when your efforts to help the other person are keeping you from enjoying your life or taking care of the things that matter the most to you. If your depressed loved one has become too dependent on you, that is not healthy for either of you. If you feel that you're getting seriously affected by your friend's depression, seek help. It may be a good idea for you to see a counselor yourself. Although you're being an incredible friend by providing emotional and physical support, remember to schedule some "me time" so you can enjoy a healthy and relaxing life. Hang out with plenty of friends and family members who are not depressed, and enjoy their company. Get outdoors, train for a 5K, or walk to the Farmer's Market. Do what you have to do to retain your inner-strength. If you can't make your depressed loved one...

Article in English: You may buy almond meal at the store, but it's easy to make it at home: just place raw almonds in a blender or food processor and pulse until they've turned into a fine-grained meal.  Don't pulse for too long, or the almonds will turn to almond milk. Don't use salted or roasted almonds. You may also use olive oil, coconut oil, or another cosmetic-grade oil. Avoid peanut oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, and other oils with strong smells. Lavender, lemon, rose, and other essential oils make this scrub feel even more luxurious. To store this scrub for later, put the mixture in a jar sealed with a lid. Keep it in a cool, dry place. It should last for several weeks. Rub the scrub all over your face, concentrating in spots that are dry. Use a wet washcloth to remove the scrub, and splash cold water over your face when you're finished.

Article in English: You may choose a theme like “identity,” “loss,” “sexuality,” or “family.” You can then explore this theme in your fairy tale. Pick a theme that you relate to personally or feel you can discuss from a unique point of view. For example, you may pick a theme like “family” and focus on your relationship with your sister. You can then create a fairy tale around the birth of your sister or around a childhood memory that involves your sister. Most fairy tales are set in a fantastic place that combines real life and magic. You may choose a setting like an enchanted forest or a cursed pirate ship. You can also choose a setting like your neighbourhood and add magical elements to it to make it more fantastical. For example, you may use your neighbourhood as a setting and include a talking tree by your house. Or you may make the setting futuristic by imagining what your neighbourhood might look like in 100 years. Most fairy tales begin with “Once upon a time…” or “Long, long ago…”. You can use the standard opening, or try to make your opening more unique. For example, you may start with, “There once was a girl…” or “In a futuristic land far, far away…”. Start by introducing characters or setting in the first line of the fairy tale. This will engage your reader right away and set the scene. Every fairytale has a hero or heroine that the reader can root for. A heroine is usually a normal person who changes or becomes powerful due to the events in the fairy tale. You can also give your heroine a special ability or power that helps them on their journey. For example, you may have a heroine who is a loner in high school. She could then get lost in a new part of town and meet a series of strange beings or magical creatures. Every fairytale also has a villain or a source of darkness. The villain could be a magical being or creature. It could also be a person who has more power than the heroine. The villain will be a source of conflict for the heroine and make it difficult for the heroine to achieve their goal. For example, you...

Article in English: You may choose how many times you prefer to rinse the tuna, but draining and rinsing it at least once is recommended.  Use a can opener to open the can, but don’t remove the lid yet. Holding the lid in place, flip the can over and hold it over the sink to drain the liquid. Pull off the top of the can, being cautious not to cut yourself. Take the tuna out of the can and place it in a strainer or colander. Rinse the tuna thoroughly with water, then press the water out using a clean hand or a paper towel. In a medium bowl, mash the avocado together with the greek yogurt until smooth.  Stir in the tuna, onion, relish, celery, salt and pepper. lemon if using, and cayenne pepper if using. Stir until all ingredients are well-combined. Distribute the tuna mix evenly across 4 slices of bread and top each with another slice of bread to make 4 sandwiches.  For a warm, crunchy variation, toast the bread before spreading the tuna mix on. You can also substitute a roll or a croissant in place of the sandwich bread. Or you can skip the bread and use the tuna mix over a salad for a lower-carb version.

Article in English: You may choose to start with the smaller, less obvious items or you may decide to do it all in one day. You must determine what the safest approach is for your situation. If you think your husband is going to get violent or threatening if he sees you packing up your things, make a plan to do this when there's little chance he'll be around. Still, though, it's best to have some friends or family members there to help you for your own safety and protection. It can be helpful to pack when your husband is at work. Even if he supports you in leaving, packing when he's around can be more painful. You may have already told your spouse you are leaving or it may come as a complete surprise. Even if you know you have made the right decision, this last step may be the hardest emotionally. Of course, every situation is different. If you and your spouse have been talking about this for months, then it may not come as a shock. If you're in an abusive or threatening situation, then leaving suddenly is your best option. Whatever your reason for leaving, it's up to you to decide which method of leaving is best -- whether it's a frank and honest conversation or leaving without a note. This is not the time to be alone with your worries. After you leave your husband, you should lean on your family, your friends, or even a therapist, as much as you can. This is likely the hardest thing you'll ever have to do, and the pain will be much more manageable if you have the support and love of the people who care about you the most. There's no shame in asking for help.  Though it's important to get some alone time to deal with your feelings, it's equally important to be out and about, to make plans with your friends, and to indulge in long conversations. Don't be afraid to call up old friends to ask for help or just to chat. They'll understand that you're going through something very difficult and will support you all the way. Unfortunately, not everyone may be on board with your plan and you may lose some friends or family support in...

Article in English: You may choose to treat a small shallow cut or injured claw yourself, but for just about anything else, it is always best to take your rabbit to the vet. Your job is to minimize damage and keep your rabbit as safe and comfortable as possible en route. Know your vet’s hours and have a backup plan. If your vet is not available for emergencies outside of office hours, then you should have the number of another clinic or vet that is. If your rabbit is bleeding, has been bitten, or has been stepped on, you should take him to the vet. But injuries are not always so obvious, especially since rabbits have high pain thresholds and instinctively hide pain. Less obvious signs of injury include:  Lying on one side for extended periods of time. Falling over. Inability to walk in a straight line. Limping or change in gait. Awkward posture. Licking, rubbing or scratching a particular area. Failure to eat or drink for 24 hours. Failure to pass fecal pellets for 8 hours or more. How you care for you rabbit will depend on the injury. If the injury is not immediately life threatening – i.e. the rabbit is bleeding heavily, paralyzed, or in shock – perform a brief exam:  Nose and whiskers – Both sides should look the same. Look for discharge and swelling. Eyes – Glassy or closed eyes are a sign of shock. Shine a light into them to see if the pupils constrict. If the whites of the eyes are yellow, this indicates a serious liver problem. Gums and teeth  – Lift the lips to examine them. Gums should be pink and the color should return immediately if after you push on them with a fingertip. Pale gums are a sign of sock. Make sure no teeth are broken. Head and neck – Feel for lumps, bumps, or swelling. Head tilt may be a sign of shock or spinal injury. Limbs - Check for redness, heat or swelling. If none is found, run both hands down each limb from the shoulder to the toes, flexing each joint. Stop immediately if your rabbit appears to be in pain. Cold feet are a sign of shock. Torso – Run your hands along the ribcage and spine. Feel...
