Article in English: Rehearse difficult conversations prior to having them, as this will help your auto-pilot to kick in if your emotions get the better of you. Look back over your list of reasons, think through the ways in which you could have done things differently, and find solutions for your future way forward. Then prepare some notes in your head, or on paper even, as to what you'll say when you talk to the other person again. Keep the following things in mind:  Be prepared to take responsibility for what you did. It's a good idea to elaborate on what you did wrong at the outset and to accept that you did the wrong thing. This sets the tone of remorse for the rest of the conversation. You can start simply with "I an sorry I hurt you. I was wrong to... think/say/do, etc.". Acknowledging their hurt will go a long way to easing tensions. Realize that if this is not the first time you've hurt someone else, and the other person has heard your apologies before, that a mere "sorry" won't cut it. Sorry can be too easy a word to utter when it's not backed up by real change. Think about how you will make it clear that you really do express sincere and genuine regret when you promise never to act this way again or to repeat your mistake. While it might be possible to make amends by email or telephone, it is far better to meet in person to make amends. This displays a willingness on your behalf to be near the person again and to make direct, meaningful contact with them.  If you are seeking to make amends with family members whom you have not seen for a long time, consider meeting them on neutral territory rather than in one another's homes. This will remove any usual tensions that being on one's own territory can raise. If you can't meet in person, consider writing a letter rather than typing one or emailing. It's far more personal to put your pen to paper and to express your feelings in your own handwriting. Tell the other person that you wish to make amends for your mistake and start your discussion with them, drawing on what you're...

Article in English: Reinstalling OS X will erase all of the data on your computer. Because of this, you should ensure that all of your important documents, photos, videos, and other files are copied onto at least one other storage location.  You can burn your backup files to a DVD, copy them to an external hard drive, or even upload them to online storage. Make sure that everything you need is safely backed up. Once you install, you won't be able to retrieve the files anymore. You can choose to export all of your user settings and files during the installation process, but performing a clean install where everything is deleted is recommended for the best performance. If your computer can boot into OS X, you can start the installation process from within the operating system. Insert the installation DVD into your computer, and wait for it to appear on your desktop. Double-click the "Install Mac OS X" icon, and then click Restart. If your computer is not booting into OS X, you can start the installation by booting from the DVD. Reboot the computer while holding the ⌥ Option key. This will load the "Startup Manager", which displays all of the sources you can boot from. Once you are on the Startup Manager screen, insert the OS X installation DVD. After a few moments, the DVD will appear on the list of sources. Select it to reboot the computer and boot from the DVD.

Article in English: Reintroducing nutrients like calcium into your teeth may help strengthen them.  One way to get rid of white spots and other signs of damage on your teeth is to make a remineralizing toothpaste that is rich in calcium and other basic elements.  Ingredients like baking soda will also act as abrasive elements to scuff off the white spots and normalize the pH balance in your mouth.  To make remineralizing toothpaste:  Combine 5 tablespoons (74 mL) of calcium powder, 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of baking soda, and 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of food-grade diatomaceous earth in a small bowl.  You can also add 3 tablespoons (44 mL) of xylitol powder to help keep the paste from tasting too bitter. Add enough coconut oil to the powdered ingredients to form a paste-like consistency.  This is typically about 3 – 5 tablespoons (44 – 74 mL) of coconut oil. If desired, you can also add one or two drops of food-safe essential oil for taste. Popular options include mint, lemon, and cinnamon. Store the paste in a sealed jar, and brush your teeth with it two to three times daily. If you prefer to use tooth powders to brush your teeth instead of toothpaste, you can create a homemade remineralizing powder using bentonite clay, which has the ability to draw out heavy metals and toxins from your teeth and mouth and restore the pH balance of your mouth.  The clay is rich in minerals like calcium, magnesium, and silica, which help get rid of white spots on your teeth.  To make remineralizing tooth powder at home:  Combine 4 tablespoons (60 mL) of bentonite clay, 3 tablespoons (44 mL) of calcium powder, 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of cinnamon powder, 1 teaspoon (5 mL) of clove powder, 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of xylitol powder, and 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of baking soda in a small bowl. If desired, you can also add 2 teaspoons (10 mL) of mint leaf powder or a few drops of peppermint or cinnamon food-safe essential oil to improve the flavor of the tooth powder. Store the powder in a sealed jar, and apply to the teeth with your finger or a toothbrush two to...

Article in English: Rejecting someone is usually extremely awkward for both parties involved and it can be tempting to ignore the situation entirely. If you pretend it’s not happening it will magically go away, right? Unfortunately, allowing silence to be your answer and hoping the other person will eventually “get the hint” is both cruel and a poor strategy that often backfires. Avoid waiting for “the right time” because there usually is no “right time." The longer you wait, the harder and more awkward the rejection will be for both of you. It can make it difficult for the other person to move on if they don’t receive a firm and clear “no” from you, so the kindest thing you can do is provide that to them. It may sting a little at first, but in the long run you’ll both be happier for it. " Ghosting is a relatively new term to describe an age-old way of rejecting someone – by disappearing completely after an initial encounter, whether that’s one date or several. Rather than confronting the issue, the initiator permanently withdraws completely with no explanation – ever. Vanishing completely without ever addressing the issue is doing exactly what you are trying to avoid – hurting that person’s feelings. In a 2012 study, researchers identified seven breakup strategies and then asked people to rate them from most to least ideal. “Ghosting” was overwhelmingly identified as the least ideal way to break it off with someone. Unless you’ve known this person for a long time or have already been dating them for several months, letting them down gently via text is not only acceptable but also preferable.   The blow of rejection is softened by the neutrality of a text and allows the person to nurse their momentarily bruised ego in private. There is no reason to make physical contact with someone you don’t know well just to turn them down.  In some cases, such as when it comes to being approached online or by someone you work with that you rarely see and hardly know, even an email will suffice as a rejection. Anyone that you know personally...

Посмотрите проблеме в лицо. Дайте четкий ответ как можно скорее. Не прибегайте к гостингу. Отвечайте незнакомым и мало знакомым людям с помощью сообщений. Отвечайте друзьям и коллегам лично.


Article in English: Rejection can tank your confidence, so try to find ways to remember how great you are. Sit down and make a list of all the reasons you are incredible. Don’t feel shy! No one has to see the list but you.  Your list might include traits like, “good listener,” “artistic,” and “compassionate.“ If you have trouble coming up with traits, ask your best friend or your parents. These people will probably recognize all of your great qualities. Counteract a bruised ego by doing something out of the box. When you try something new, you become aware of hidden talents and abilities. It doesn’t have to be anything extreme, just something a little different from your typical activities or hobbies. For example, you might sign up for a Flamenco dancing class, or plan a short trip to a nearby city on your own. The aftermath of rejection may bring lots of negative thoughts. Crowd out the negative by increasing the positive thoughts you have. Repeat positive affirmations throughout the day. If you can’t think of any, you can find some by doing a quick search online.  Examples of positive affirmations may be “I am good at many things,” “Lots of people love to be around me,” or "I am a lovable person!" Repeat these affirmations each morning after you wake and periodically throughout the day when you feel down on yourself. The best fix for a bruised ego is feeling loved. Make an extra effort to be around all the people in your life who cherish you. Spend more time with your close family by languishing over meals or having a game night. Plan to hang out with your dearest friends, too. You shouldn’t count on others to make you feel good about yourself. Still, it can help to bounce back after a rejection by putting yourself on the market and trying again with someone else. This isn’t the time to get seriously involved with anyone while you’re still nursing your wounds after the rejection. But, it can take your mind off things and be fun to date someone casually.  Go up and talk to the girl who tries to catch your eye at the coffee...

Article in English: Relationships are important and allow us to experience emotional highs and the lows, learn about ourselves, and learn how to love and be loved. These are crucial elements for living a fulfilling life. Whether you initiated the break-up or not, there is a grieving process that occurs.  Tell the person, “I just want to acknowledge that ending this relationship didn't feel good. I know it's going to be hard and awkward to see each other for a while. I will do my best to respect your boundaries and I would appreciate you doing the same.” This may lead to further discussion at which time you can reinforce your expectations. It is important to acknowledge the relationship was important to your personal development, regardless of how short or involved it was. If you deny the feelings associated with the break-up and pretend that it wasn't important, you won't learn from the experience. Most people are taught how to acquire things, but very few people are taught how to lose something. Whether the loss is a relationship, a loved one, a job, a physical ability, or trust in someone, the damage created must be understood and managed. Grief is a complex emotion that manifests in different ways.  There are stages to the grieving process that can be used as a guide to understanding your own unique experience with grief: denial, numbness and shock; bargaining; depression; anger; acceptance.  Start a grief journal and write about the feelings you are having in each stage. Grief is an individual journey. Everyone experiences it differently.  You may spend more time in one stage versus another. Don't rush yourself and don't allow others to rush you through your grief. There is a time to grieve and it is essential to the healing process. Breaking up feels like an emotional setback. It's going to take your full attention and effort to carry you through the journey. Find a way to give yourself a running start at the challenges ahead. It is a normal response to fall apart to a certain degree, and each time you pull yourself...

Article in English: Relationships can be fun and exciting early on, yet it important to make sure that you and your partner are rooted in respect. Act in ways that demand respect from your partner.  Strive to treat each other with respect at all times, even when you are mad at each other.  Your partner’s wishes, thoughts, and feelings have value. Communicate to your partner that you consider the way they feel. Mutual respect is an important part of making a healthy relationship work.  Talk to your partner about creating respect in your relationship. Decide “do’s” and “don’ts,” such as name calling or sexual touch. You may wish to implement "fair fighting" rules. They are as follows: No degrading language No blaming No yelling No use of force No talk of divorce/breaking up Don't try to tell your partner what they are thinking/experiencing/feeling Stay in the present Take turns speaking Use time outs when necessary A healthy relationship should be one in which you and your partner feel appreciated. Often, relationships are built from many small things added one on top of the other. Find the things your partner does for you and say “thank you.” Instead of focusing on mistakes your partner makes, focus on the ways your partner adds to your life. When you notice something, speak out and show your appreciation.  Ask your partner how they like to feel appreciated. Write a note or a card, or make an effort to say “thank you” often. Let your partner know how you like to be appreciated. Say, “It means a lot to me when you notice the things I do for you.” It’s easy to transition from face-to-face time together to digital communication. Yet, sometimes meanings can get lost in translation or non-verbal communication becomes non-existent. Spending quality time together can help strengthen your relationship and increase the bond you and your partner feel together.  Find activities that you can do together regularly. It can be as simple as enjoying a cup of coffee together each morning or reading together at night. Trying something new together...

Article in English: Relationships must be nurtured to survive. Social support is essential for your physical and psychological health.If you’ve been handcuffed to the news for any period of time, your relationships have likely suffered. Reach out to others to build or repair your relationships. Until you are 100% confident with the changes you have made, you will need the support of others.

It will restore the idea that there is more to life than news. Shared interests bring people together. Investigate and join a group that might interest you. There might be a comedy groups, or city recreation league that will provide the opportunity to meet new people. If you meet someone who you suspect is addicted to the news, refrain from talking about the news. Bring up different subjects to divert the conversation toward a more positive direction. You can always excuse yourself from a conversation if it becomes difficult or annoying.  Without being pushy or overbearing, share your experience with the person and offer to help him. You can suggest all the strategies that helped you manage your addiction to the news. Teaching others what you have learned will give you a sense of accomplishment and internal reward far above what watching the news will provide. Learning to overcome and manage an addiction to the news will increase your self-esteem. It is important to keep the information we hear in perspective. A lot of news narrows down the information to a specific, terrible situation. There are usually time constraints so they pack in as much death and destruction as possible.  If you inundate yourself with this information, it will skew your perception of reality.  Pause and think clearly and you will realize the chances of the same disaster happening again or even at all, are minuscule. Influenza is a very good example of narrow reporting. A certain...

They may start to resent you if you're around all the time.  Don't make it awkward. If you sense that they'd like to spend some time alone, find a way to excuse yourself. Don't invite yourself to go out with them. If they want you to join in their plans, they'll ask you to. Don't talk bad to your friend about their boyfriend.

Article in English: Relax and refresh the eyes by making a conscious effort to blink every 3 to 4 seconds, over a 2 minute period. Use a watch to time yourself, if necessary. This will relieve some of the pressure on your eyes, leaving them ready to process new information. People have a tendency to avoid blinking when working on a computer, watching television or playing video games. This puts a lot of strain on the eyes. Place your right hand over your right eye, resting your fingers against your forehead and the heel of your hand against your cheekbone. Don't apply any pressure. Keep the hand in place for 30 seconds to a minute, blinking freely throughout. Uncover your right eye, then use your left hand to cover your left eye and repeat. Covering your eye with the palm of your hand helps to relax both the eye and the mind, relieving stress and allowing you to blink freely. Imagine a big number 8 on the wall in front of you, turned onto its side. Use your eyes to trace this number 8, without moving your head. Keep doing this for 1-2 minutes. If you're having difficulty imagining a sideways 8, draw one on a large piece of paper and stick it on the wall. You can trace this with your eyes instead. This exercise helps to strengthen your eye muscles and increase their flexibility, making them less prone to injury and high pressure. Find a relaxing place to sit, without any distractions. Hold your thumb approximately 10 inches (25.4 cm) in front of your face and focus your eyes on it. Focus on your thumb for five to 10 seconds, then switch your focus to another object, between 10 to 20 feet (3.0 to 6.1 m) away from you. Alternate between focusing on your thumb and focusing on the far away object for 1-2 minutes. This exercise helps to strengthen the eye muscles and improve your overall vision. Stretch one hand directly out in front of you, then stick up your thumb. Focus both eyes on the thumb, then slowly move your thumb towards you until it is about 3 in (7.6 cm) away from your face. Move your thumb away from you again, keeping...

Article in English: Relax your jaw to make your speech a lot clearer with some exercises.  Make wide chewing motions while humming gently. Stretch every muscle in your jaw and face. Open your mouth as wide as possible (as if you were about to yawn), while moving your jaw in circles, and sideways. Open your mouth wide, as in the previous exercise, and shut it again. Repeat 5 times. Make a buzzing sound with your lips together, but don't clench your jaw. Just like breathing, your posture plays a large role in your speech clarity, and it's something that we sometimes forget to take into account.  For best speech clarity you should stand straight with your shoulders back and your weight evenly distributed. Do some shoulder rolls and standing side bends to help with your posture.These simple exercises will also help you with your breathing, and you can even do your jaw strengthening techniques while you stretch. Doing vocal warmups will loosen you up and prepare your voice so you can speak clearly and effectively.  Even if you're not singing, you can do some scales or just hum. Try singing your tongue twisters too. Do some “Whooos!” going up and down. Picture your voice like a ferris wheel going round and round. Hum and pat your chest. This can help knock out any phlegm you may have. When you clench your teeth you're causing a lot of strain on yourself and it can be a sign of stress. And speaking with a clenched jaw will prevent you from opening your mouth enough to enunciate and speak clearly. If you find yourself clenching your jaw, practice some of the warmups, and take a moment to take a deep breath slowly exhaling by letting your breath buff your cheeks out, as if you're letting air out of a balloon. Your vocal chords are like a machine that needs to stay well oiled. Gargle some lukewarm water with a pinch of salt to keep them limber. This helps relieve tension in the throat.

Article in English: Reliable brands produce fish oil supplements with minimal degradation, which maintains the purity of the oil for maximum effectiveness in the body. It will also ensure that the ingredients in the supplement are natural and uncontaminated with harmful substances. Reputable supplement manufacturers follow certain production standards and will meet quality guidelines such as the Norwegian Medicinal Standard, the European Pharmacopoeia Standard, or the voluntary U.S. Council for Responsible Nutrition standards. Mainstream manufacturers use processing techniques to remove as much mercury as possible from their fish oil. Many brands are even able to get mercury content down to a very few parts per trillion. These are the recommended minimum daily dosages for pregnant women. Noticeable fish odor or taste may indicate that the supplement has degraded due to light exposure and gone rancid. If a supplement is scented or flavored with strong additives, it may be an indication that the manufacturer is masking a fishy smell or taste. High-quality supplements rarely have added flavors or scents, and will not taste or smell fishy. However, if you belch after taking a supplement it may smell slightly of fish, which is a very common characteristic of supplements.

Article in English: Relieve stomach cramps and inflammation by lining your stomach with a protective coating. Alleviate diarrhea and replenish fluids by drinking two or three cups a day. Cure and avert constipation by doing the same. For purely medicinal purposes (as opposed to a yummy beverage), the only ingredients you need are the rice and water. All others are strictly for flavor. Apply small dabs to your skin. Rub it gently in for a minute or two. Then move onto the next area. Do so as part of your regular daily routine. Rice water has been shown to:  Relieve inflammations. Reduce age spots. Moisturize skin. Enhance blood circulation. Shrink pores. First, wash your hair with your regular shampoo. After rinsing that out, soak your hair with rice water. Softly rub it into your hair and scalp. Let it sit anywhere between four and twenty minutes before rinsing with plain, clean water. Rice water can build up in your hair, though, so limit yourself to one weekly application. Benefits include:  Reduces friction between hairs. Makes hair more elastic and smooth. Strengthens and protects hair even after rinsing. Increases volume and sheen.

Просушите стельки.


Article in English: Remain focused on the point of the letter, using grammatically correct language that describes your intent and qualifications in direct terms. Maintain an active voice and stay away from flowery or muddy descriptions.   Avoid cliché phrases or terminology. Phrases that are frequently relied upon actually reflect poorly on you since using them implies a lack of creative thought. When you feel tempted to use a particular cliché, dissect the idea into its "why" and "how" aspects, demonstrating the truth of that idea through active examples instead of flat statements.  Examples of common clichés "I am highly motivated to..." "I have always loved..." "My greatest goals are..."   Don't plagiarize content. Even though you used information from the program literature to help you form your ideas, you should not repeat that information word for word. If the program highlights its "state-of-the-art equipment," stay away from the phrase "state-of-the-art equipment." Don't copy form. You might find it helpful to look at sample motivation letters for additional insight into the structure and tone you'll need to apply, but you should avoid copying the form too closely. After all, anyone can copy a form letter and fill in the blanks; you need to show that you're just "anyone," and using an original tone can do just that. Your letter should focus on positives rather than negatives. If you choose to describe hardships or challenges faced in the past, emphasize how you overcame those difficulties instead of stressing the severity of the problems themselves.  Stay away from your weak points. You'll probably be asked about your weaknesses during an interview, but the motivation letter needs to sell your strengths.  Focus on the future. While you do need to describe your past qualifications, you also need to demonstrate that you're looking ahead at what's to come. For instance, instead of describing your lack of experience within a certain field explored in the broader program, state that you are eager to learn about that field...

Article in English: Remember at all times, that you are angry. You don't like authority, cops, parents, bosses, whatever.  Do what the hell you want. Punk shows in the 80s were famous for anger. Remember, a 80s punk show is one where you can throw a beer bottle in the air and not care where it comes down. Hang out with others like you. Nothing says punk like hanging out drinking a brew on a street corner with your fellow punks. In the 80s punks had the reputation of being a bit dumb or uneducated, mostly because they were young.  You, however, are more street smart and wiser about the ways of the world. The 2000s are a less innocent time. So fight the stereotype of a dumb punk by reading up on your anarchist literature and quote Alan Watts at them until their heads spin. Haters gonna hate, but that doesn't mean you have to embrace the stereotype of the dumb punk. There is some chance you decide not to be a punk anymore, so you want to be able to go back.

Article in English: Remember not to apply excessive force. If you are too rough, you might shatter one or both of the glasses. If the glasses come unstuck unexpectedly, they might slip or shoot out of your hands. Make sure that you have a firm grip on each glass. Dry the glasses before you begin, and dry your hands. If your hands slip, the glass might fall and shatter! Sometimes, there is a thin layer of water between the glasses that keeps them stuck. Try squeezing a straw between the two glasses, then blowing in. A small amount of air should suffice. However try blowing in as much air as you can because the straw is being squeezed.

Article in English: Remember that God works on a different timeline than you do. If He doesn’t answer as quickly as you hoped, do not give up on Him. Wait on His timing and remember that there may be a reason He does not answer as quickly as you want Him to. While you wait to hear God’s answer to your prayer, you must keep honoring Him and giving Him praise. It is important to be be thankful and worshipful even when you haven’t received what you want yet. If you only praise Him when He acts as you want, your praise may not be genuine. If you don't believe that God has the power to act, your prayer loses power. You must believe that He has heard you and will act based on His will. If your request fits His plan, then he will grant what you want, but remember that God doesn't always answer the way you want Him to.

The closest American English sound is "oo" in "book", but it's a bit shifted toward a soft "i", as in "it". Similar to French 'u' in word 'rue'.

Article in English: Remember that a German shepherd is a large dog. This breed needs space to be comfortable in their home and in their yard. They do better in a house that has room for them to move freely about, as opposed to a small apartment or cramped space. German shepherds can benefit from having access to a lot of space to run around. Make sure that your yard is clear, uncluttered, and hazard-free. your dog. Without exercise, the German shepherd's amazing muscles and energy will be locked up inside with no outlet. Ideally, you would spend 1 hour or 2 every day playing fetch, taking it for a long walk or run, or even chasing it around the yard. German shepherds who don't get enough exercise are more likely to get joint diseases, like hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as becoming destructive or depressed.  However, beware of giving them too much exercise at a young age. Do not take your German shepherd jogging or running with you before they are 1 and a half years old, because its joints and bones are still developing. To keep a German shepherd outside in a yard, you need to make sure the yard is completely fenced off. If you don't have a big yard, then take your dog daily to the local park. You can also make use of any other appropriate open spaces accessible from your home. Since German shepherds are prone to bloat, it's important to keep them calm before and after they digest their food. Do not engage them in strenuous activity, such as running, before or for several hours after eating. While you shouldn't run them after meal time, it is perfectly fine to take them on a leisurely walk after eating. German shepherds, especially long-haired shepherds, are susceptible to hot weather. If you have a shepherd and you live in a hot or tropical area, provide your dog with plenty of water and shade while outside. Also be sure that you don't demand too much physical activity on extremely hot days.  Signs that your German shepherd is overheated include panting, extreme thirst, lack of coordination, and extremely red gums.  German...

Article in English: Remember that an argumentative essay will argue in support of a particular view in a debatable issue. As such, it is important that you do not choose a topic that is not arguable. For example, writing an argumentative essay on the fact that exercise is good for you would be undesirable because it would be difficult to find contradicting views on the topic; everyone agrees that exercise is good for people. You'll be spending a lot of time researching and writing this paper. So it is important for you to choose a topic that you find interesting from the start. Avoid choosing a topic that has been overdone, or, on the other hand, one that is too obscure (since supporting evidence may be more difficult to find). Find a peer (preferably one that holds an oppositional view) to discuss your argument with. This process will help you refine your thinking and develop new ideas to support your judgment. Try a debate-style conversation in which you each bring up aspects of the controversy and attempt to explain your view on the topic. An important aspect of writing an argumentative essay is understanding your audience.  Are you writing the paper for a class, in which case your audience is your professor and your classmates? Or perhaps you are writing it for a presentation to a larger group of people. Regardless, you must think about where your audience is coming from in order to lead them to your desired outcome. People's backgrounds and experiences often influence how they will react to views different from their own, so it is helpful for you to be knowledgeable about these factors. You also use different language when addressing different groups of people. For example, you would speak to the pastor at your church differently than you might speak in a casual setting with your best friend. It is important to be mindful of these distinctions when considering your audience. It is essential that you understand all of the factors in the situation surrounding your issue. All rhetorical situations contain five basic elements:...

Article in English: Remember that by keeping the bird, you are performing an illegal act. Also, you likely do not have the expertise to feed the bird properly, so it very well may die under your care. Also, caring for a baby bird is not easy, as it needs to be fed every 20 minutes or so. Finally, you are not equipped to teach the bird what its parents do, such as how to hunt for food or how to be on the lookout for predators. The bird also may become so accustomed to humans that it may come to harm because it doesn't know to fly from humans and may come to expect its food from humans at all times. You may be able to match the species by looking at an online field guide such as The Cornell Lab of Ornithology  or the Audubon Society's Guide to North American Birds. Positive identification will be easier if you catch a glimpse of the parents. However, if the parents are still around, you should let them take care of the baby. They have strong instincts to care for their young and are well equipped to do so. What your baby bird will eat depends on what its parents eat. For instance, cardinals eat seeds, while crows eat everything from nuts and berries to insects and small rodents. If your bird is an omnivore, you can try dog or cat food. Many wild birds are omnivores, and when they are babies, they are primarily feed insects by their parents. That means that a diet rich in animal protein, such as dog or cat food, is appropriate for these birds.  If you use dry food, soak it in water first. Leave it for an hour to soak. However, when you go to feed the baby, make sure it isn't dripping, as water can get in the bird's lungs, leading to death. The food should be spongy, not dripping. Make a small ball. Create a small ball of food, about the size of a pea. Drop the food in the baby's mouth. A Popsicle stick or a chopstick is handy for this process. You can also cut the end of a straw into a small scoop. The baby should readily accept and eat the food. For dry cat or dog food, if the kibbles are too big, make sure to break them up....

Article in English: Remember that children have quirks and often go through phases that may make you wonder whether they are normal.  If you’re concerned that your child may have any kind of mental disorder, it’s best to talk to a pediatrician or a child psychologist before you try to diagnose a disorder on your own.  If you have had your child evaluated and are still unsure, don’t be afraid to get a second opinion. Obsessions can be somewhat difficult to spot, because they are internal thoughts that may or may not have external actions associated with them.  Additionally, children may hide their obsessions from adults. The symptoms may be misinterpreted as unnecessarily worrying. The only symptom an adult may see is extended time in the bathroom or bedroom, or being alone. Obsessions are often related to safety. A few common obsessions that often manifest at home include:  Excessive concern about germs, disease, and contamination Fear that they will hurt someone Frequent worries about disasters like car crashes, house fires, earthquakes, or tornadoes Tendency to believe their tasks are never complete The need to have things around them in a symmetrical, perfect order The need to perform tasks a specific number of times, or a fixation on a series of numbers Concern with religious ideas, such as morality, death, or the afterlife Excessive collecting of meaningless objects Obsession with sexual thoughts Children may enact compulsions differently at home and at school. The symptoms may be misinterpreted as misbehaving. Adults may interpret compulsions or reactions to obsessions as tantrums that occur when things don't go the child's way. Symptoms may vary over time and fluctuate. At home, some compulsions may include:   Cleaning their room over and over again Washing their hands too much or showering frequently Checking and rechecking to make sure a door is locked Arranging and rearranging items over and over again Saying special words, repeating numbers, or saying phrases before doing things to keep bad things from happening...

Article in English: Remember that crying is one of the only forms of communication that an infant can access, and it is a consistent indicator of need. Put yourself in the mindset of the child and consider what could be causing discomfort. Some common reasons that babies cry are:  Hunger:  Most newborns require feeding every two to three hours around the clock. The need to suckle: Infants have a natural instinct to latch and suckle as this is how they derive nourishment. Loneliness. Babies require social interaction to develop into happy, healthy children and will often cry when they want affection. Tiredness. Newborn infants need frequent naps, sometimes sleeping as much as 16 hours of the day. Discomfort: Think about the context of the crying episode and what your child's experience may be in order to anticipate normal needs and desires. Over-stimulation: Too much noise, movement or visual stimulation can overwhelm infants, causing them to cry. Illness. Often the first sign of illness, allergy, or injury is that the infant cries and does not respond to soothing. Unlike the guessing game we play with infants, children have access to more sophisticated forms of communication and we can ask, "What is wrong?" This doesn't necessarily mean that they are capable of communicating like adults, though, so it's important to ask simple questions and read between the lines when a child seems unable to describe a problem in detail. Younger children can have difficulty answering questions when upset, so it is important for parents and caregivers to pay attention to the context and physical condition of the child when they are crying. If the child is hurt or unhappy, it can help to distract them from the pain until it subsides. Try to refocus their attention on something they like. Determine if and where injury may have occurred, but ask about every part of her body except for where they are actually hurt. This requires them to think about those body parts rather than the one which hurts, creating a distraction. Children often cry in...

Article in English: Remember that dogs do not misbehave out of malice. If your dog appears to misbehave, such as chewing your shoes, destroying furniture while you're out, or growling at strangers, then the dog has a reason to do so but you haven't figured out what it is yet. Spend some time figuring out why your dog is acting out. For example, if your dog chews the furniture when you are out, they may be doing so because they're bored or anxious at being separated from you. Once you've figured out what's causing your dog's bad behavior, try to remove the triggers. Maybe you've found that your dog barks when something excites them, like seeing someone walk down the street or a car drive past. To prevent barking, you might close the curtains. You can also make arrangements so your dog is less likely to get caught by surprise, which can trigger a lot of bad behavior. For example, if your dog is easily started by a certain trigger, like the mailman, make sure your dog is in the backyard before the mailman comes each day. While punishing your dog for bad behavior is fine, rewarding it for good behavior is the best way to help the dog learn good habits. Use positive reinforcement if your dog plays nicely, responds to commands, or successfully eliminates in the right spot. Offer them treats, give the dog praise by saying "Good dog!" in a cheerful voice, or offer a few head scratches or belly rubs. Reward the behavior immediately after the action, so your dog creates a positive association. If you reward them too soon or too late, your dog won't understand why they're getting the reward. Dogs that are bored or inactive tend to bark more than well-exercised dogs. If your dog spends most of his day inside, they may just jump up, bark, or act out when they finally does get outside or when you get home. Try to let your dog get a walk or run outside for at least an hour every day. Staying active might keep your dog from behaving badly. Make sure the dog has plenty of chew toys. This can keep them active and occupied when they have to remain...

Article in English: Remember that even if you say you’ll do something without adding the words, ‘I promise,’ you’ve still made a promise. If you say you’ll do something, try your utmost to do it. If you find that you’ll be unable to do it, inform the person in advance and apologize, giving your reason for being unable to do it. These behaviors will show that you’re trustworthy and honest. Set up reminders with alarms on your phone or in your organizer so that you can keep track of your commitments. Estimate how long it will take to do your promised task. Set your reminders in advance of when your promise is due so that you have ample time to collect any resources you need to carry out your task. Make an effort to reach out to others first and to stay in touch. Remember any upcoming events they mention to you. Ask them about it later. In this day and age of busyness, people appreciate it even more when others reach out first. Use whichever method of staying in touch you like but remember that hearing a voice or seeing a person in real life is always different from interacting through the internet.  Surprise a friend or a family member with a phone call. Keep track of people’s anniversaries and birthdays. Go out of your way to show gratitude to someone who has done something good for you. Say thank you, send gifts, or try to return the favour. Set up a schedule to call family and friends who are far away. It may not be possible to do so every day or every week. Set aside an hour on the weekend that you can devote to reaching out to others who aren’t in your daily life but who are important to you. Speak well of others behind their back. Don’t complain about them, spread rumors or lies. If anyone else in your company starts to gossip, either ask them directly to stop or steer the conversation to another topic.   'Hey, let’s not talk about her like that.’ 'Let’s talk about something else.’ 'How’s your project coming along?’  This doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to discuss negative events. Do so only if it’s your business, out of...

Article in English: Remember that hot beverages like coffee and tea can help you feel fuller for longer. If you are trying to cut back on caffeine, then opt for decaffeinated teas. If you suffer from a sweet tooth, then eat dark chocolate, honey, yogurt, and/or fruit rather than ice cream, cookies, and cake. This way you will satisfy your sweet tooth without compromising your waistline! People who keep food and exercise journals lose more weight than those who don't. Keeping track of your behavior helps you notice patterns, and determine what works for you and what doesn't. It will drive you crazy, and be misleading because everybody's weight fluctuates between 2 to 3 pounds each day. It will help fill your stomach up so that you feel fuller faster. You can share ideas and tips, and motivate one another when one of you feels like giving up. This will help keep you motivated, and give you an overwhelming sense of satisfaction when you finally take that "after" picture.

Article in English: Remember that inner peace develops over time.  Fluctuations occur throughout the day. There will be moments that you feel more peaceful than others. Remember that you are a work in progress, and although you are always changing you are beautiful in every moment. Think only of what is at hand.  Think less about the past or future.  Today is different from the past. Being mindful of each moment can help you feel centered, calm, and peaceful. Try a guided meditation through a website or app, like Headspace or Calm. It is easy to allow negativity into your mind by expecting or fearing unknown situations. Let go of bias and expectation. Be open to experience.   Letting go of the need for control will help you feel peaceful with life's unpredictable circumstances. Take time to do the things that make you happy.  Satisfy your desires. Following your own path is the road to inner peace. Try reaching out and connecting to others. This can help you feel peaceful and content. You are who you are.  Take pride in your individuality. Accept yourself for who you are. Self-acceptance should be unconditional: you deserve to love yourself, strengths, weaknesses, and all. Find contentment in where you are, who you are and what you are doing. Accepting your life as it is and yourself as you are will help you to feel inner peace. Rectify your errors when possible.  Relieve your mind. Everyone makes mistakes. To feel peace, you should admit when you are wrong. Your worries will drive away inner peace; focus on the positive in life to remain peaceful and in control.

Article in English: Remember that it's not just your words that get his attention, it's your expression and body language, too. When you see him across the room, make eye contact and hold it while smiling softly. You can either walk up to him slowly to talk or turn away and begin talking to friends to really spark his interest. You can also touch him occasionally to reignite the spark. Touch his arm sometimes when you’re talking or hug him when you see him. Use technology to your advantage to get him to like you again. Once a week, send him a cute and flirtatious text. This will make sure that you stay on his mind and will also boost his confidence. Say something like “You looked so handsome today in that polo, David :-) “ Beyond his looks, if you notice him doing anything admirable, let him know. Men really like to feel admired and appreciated. Show him that you’re paying attention to him and that you think he’s awesome. Say “Wow, I saw how you helped that elderly woman yesterday get to her car. That was so sweet of you.” Even though you might be nervous, it’ll be easier to get him to like you again if you two spend some time together. Instead of going on a traditional dinner and movie date, though, shake things up a bit. Ask him out to a trivia event to get your competitive vibes flowing or go to an amusement park together. You can say “Hey, I remember that you liked Harry Potter. Did you know that they’re doing a trivia event downtown next week? I have tickets if you wanna go.”

Article in English: Remember that marketing on TV, in magazines and in stores is targeted at humans. Even the design of the bag or can label is designed for humans to pick up and purchase. Don't be fooled by pretty pictures and cute commercials. Do some research for the sake of your furry friend. Labels that include marketing terms such as “premium,” “natural,” or “gourmet” are good for selling dog food but they do not have an actual definition recognized by the FDA or pet food manufacturers. Giving your dog canned instead of dry food, or vice versa, is a matter of choice and budget. Most dogs will do fine on either one, but, on occasion, you may find a dog that is sensitive to the form of diet. They may develop symptoms, such as vomiting or diarrhea, that show their system cannot process the food correctly. Canned food is generally more expensive than dry food options but it is about 75% water. AAFCO membership is voluntary, but it provides guidelines for the formulation and manufacturing of pet foods. Having this label offers a baseline of assurance to the consumer that the food meets the basic nutritional requirements for the type of animal listed on the container. Dogs are omnivores and they can eat meat, grain, and vegetables. However, you want to see the first ingredient listed as a meat, such as “chicken” or “beef” rather than “meat by product” or “meat meal.” Seeing the word “chicken” on the ingredient label means that the meat is primarily of muscle tissue, but can include the diaphragm of the animal or heart (or other parts). You are also looking to ensure that the first ingredient is not a grain or tuber or vegetable, unless for some reason you are feeding your dog a vegetarian diet. The ingredients list on the label is listed in order by weight as they are found in the food's formula. Ingredients with water included, like meat, will usually be higher on the list. In order to compare dry (10-12% moisture) and canned diets (75% water), to truly get to the actual percentage of protein found in dog food, you need to...

Article in English: Remember that mildew starts to grow wherever moisture is present. Be aware that damp dirty clothing can start to stink up before it ever makes it to the washer, even if it didn’t smell bad when you first stripped it off. Use wet clothes as an excuse to start a load as soon as you take them off. If this isn’t possible, don’t ball up your wet clothes and dump them in the hamper. Let them air-dry on a hanger, drying rack, or clothesline before adding them to your other dirty laundry. If you forgot all about your last load sitting in the washer, wash it a second time to get rid of any funky smells that may have developed in the meantime. Use the highest temperature possible that’s still safe for your fabrics. Instead of detergent, however, choose between adding color-safe bleach or chlorine to kill the mildew and eliminate that smell. Or, if you want to avoid chemical products, use plain white vinegar instead. These all smell pretty strong in their own right, so you may need to wash your clothes a third time with laundry detergent to get rid of any residual smells. If you’re really prone to forgetting about that last load in your washer, take preemptive action. Add several drops of lavender essential oil to your load when pouring in the detergent at the start of your cycle. Use this mold-resistant product to protect your clothes from developing mildew for longer. This can stall mildew from growing for at least a couple of days. If the washer itself is the smelly culprit, fill the drum with hot water. Add 2 cups of white vinegar. Let the water sit for 30 minutes or so. Then start a regular wash cycle without adding any laundry. Give it a test sniff once it’s done and repeat if necessary. Remember that mildew loves moisture and darkness. So don’t shut your washer’s lid or door once you empty it. Either leave it open all the time for more air circulation and light, or give it at least the length of your dryer’s cycle to air out before you close it. If the washer tends to stink up on its own pretty frequently, reduce...

Article in English: Remember that part above about how being cool is about being liked by lots of different people? Well, to get all these different types of people liking you, you've got to like them. Open your mind and try to see that not only the coolest kids have value – that everyone does. You'll come off as a friendly, more likable, happier person – and that's the type of person most of us want to be around. Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Zac Efron, Kristen Stewart, Lady Gaga – these are all pretty cool people who were not cool in school (or so they say). This is proof that if you're not open-minded, you could miss out on some pretty awesome people. . Being respectful to others even if they aren't your friends shows that you don't discriminate people based on anything because they are not your friends. You'll develop a positive reputation of always being kind and considerate and being friends with everyone because they can rely on you and that you won't judge them. That definitely sounds pretty cool. A good way to make friends is to make them laugh. If you're cracking jokes at another's expense, just make sure they get it that it's in good fun. And try to stay away from making fun of teachers – that can easily backfire. You know that kid who's sulking in the corner, all dressed in black, who's always frowning and talking to no one? Doesn't seem very happy, does he? Do you want to hang around that negativity? Probably not. If you want to be a magnet for people, to get all of them liking you, stay positive. Keep your chin up, be willing to laugh at yourself, and spread your positivity and awesomeness. Other people will end up flocking to your side so it rubs off on them. And will it rub off on others? Probably. Some studies say that just being around other happy people makes us more likely to be happy; and hanging around sad people makes us more likely to be sad. So could you be that beacon of light for your friends? Of course! . When it comes to humans, we're pretty simple. We know what we like, and we don't like, and...

Article in English: Remember that people are quite busy and may not be able to make certain times for a prayer meeting. For example, It may be difficult to get people to come to an early morning or Friday night meeting. Try choosing a time that is convenient for people such as a Sunday afternoon or weekday evening.  Think about choosing a time when there is usually a mass scheduled. That way it’s a time that would normally be convenient for people. A prayer meeting usually lasts about an hour, although you can adjust the time if desired. Even if you want to host a prayer meeting outside of church you should keep the pastor involved. While others can lead the prayer meeting, it is important to keep the church leadership involved so that people respect the legitimacy of the prayer meeting. Usually prayer meetings will be held in a prayer room or other room at the church. You can also host small prayer meetings in other locations such as homes if you choose. Whatever the location, make sure it is ready to host the meeting and is a clean space for hosting prayers. Announce the meeting to the members of the congregation. Make an announcement at mass or send out letters and emails. Try to get as many people involved as you can to strengthen your prayers. Sometimes people are hesitant to join or try something new. Speak to people individually and encourage them to come to the meetings. Sometimes people need just a little push to join in. You may keep the entire group together for prayers. If you are a big group you can also split into smaller groups for prayer. Other options include asking specific individuals to pray for specific issues or asking two or three people to pray for a specific issue and then asking another two or three people to pray for a different issue. You can also do a combination of formats such as beginning with everyone praying together and then allowing people to pray for personal issues in smaller groups. Planning will determine the difference between a vibrant, effective prayer meeting and a dull, ineffective...

Article in English: Remember that reflection period after your break up? Well, it should come in handy now. When you're with your boyfriend again, remind yourself of what went wrong and try to prevent it from happening. If the problem was that you fought too much, then remind yourself to calm down when you have the urge to pick a fight. If your problem was that you were mean to his friends, try to be nicer, this time -- your man should be worth it. If your ex is the one making the mistakes, gently remind him that whatever he's doing caused the same problem last time. Though you should avoid making the same mistakes, if you're constantly obsessing over not making them, you won't be able to enjoy the relationship. Just have fun and try not to think about it too much unless you're having a conflict. If you're so worried that you'll lose him again every step you take, you won't be able to live in the moment. If you're insecure about the relationship ending again, your ex will be able to tell, and that will make him feel more uncertain, too. Don't think of this as Part Two of your relationship saga -- think of it as two people starting completely over while being better equipped to deal with any challenges that come their way. Though you can't completely forget the past, there's no need to dwell on it or rehash it. Of course, if any fond memory of the past comes up, you should talk about it, but think of everything as starting anew. You're starting over, and this time, you're just going about it with more foresight. It's important to work on yourself to improve your relationship as long as both people are doing the work. But you shouldn't change yourself completely just to fit some image of what your ex wanted from you. You should only change if you want to change, not just for him. Remember that he liked you for a reason originally, so if you change too much, he may not be able to recognize the girl he fell for. There's a difference between addressing your flaws and being a new person entirely. It's okay to address your flaws, but...

Article in English: Remember that s/he may hear noises or voices in the background while you are talking, making it difficult to understand you. It is therefore essential that you talk clearly, calmly, and rather quietly, as his nerves may be frazzled from hearing voices. These voices may be criticizing him as you talk. Delusions occur in as many as four out of five people with schizophrenia, so be aware that the person may experience these while you are talking.These may be delusions that you or some outside entity such as the CIA or a neighbor is controlling his/her mind, or viewing you as an angel of the Lord, or anything else, really.  Get a sense of the specific delusions so you know what information to filter through in the conversation. Keep possible grandiosity in mind. Remember that you are talking to someone who may think as if a famous person, authority or ascended beyond the realm of ordinary logic. Try to be as agreeable as possible while talking. Don't be overly flowery or flattering with many compliments, though. Don't exclude him/her, even if there is an ongoing delusion or hallucination. Typically there will still be a sense of what is going on; that includes being hurt by your talking as though the person is not around. If you need to talk to someone else about him/her, say it in a way that one wouldn't mind hearing, or take a moment to speak in private. You may learn a lot about how best to talk to this particular person by asking the friends and family or (if applicable) care-taker. There are a number of questions you might want to ask these people, such as:  Is there a history of hostility? Has there ever been an arrest? Are there any delusions or hallucinations in particular that I should be aware of? Are there any specific ways I should react to any situations you think I might find myself in with this person? Know how you will leave the room, if the conversation goes badly or if you feel that your safety is threatened. Do your best to think ahead of time about how you'll calmly reassure and gently talk...

Summary in Russian:

Разговаривайте медленнее, но не снисходительно. Не забывайте о бреде. Никогда не разговаривайте так, как будто человека нет рядом. Пообщайтесь с другими людьми, которые знают страдающего шизофренией. Выработайте запасной план. Будьте готовы к принятию необычных вещей. Поддерживайте его в постоянном приеме лекарств. Не поддерживайте бред.


Article in English: Remember that there is always love to give and there is much we can do to enrich our lives. Talk yourself through where you were before the relationship and the ways in which you've grown throughout your time together. The powerful connection between learning and memory and the mood benefits you'll receive from acquiring new knowledge will assist you in getting over your lost love. Ask yourself:  What would I never have done before this relationship that through this relationship I could accomplish? What were some strengths of my ex-partner? Did I learn from these or develop these in myself? What did we accomplish together that I could never have accomplished by myself? You've probably had to put some goals on hold, prioritizing your past relationship over your personal desires. Once you are done with the list, you will not only see how much life has to offer, you will also have some goals to work toward in the near future.   Contemplate trips you could afford on your own but not as a couple; now might be the right time to book a trip! Enroll in a class that you didn't have time or energy for while in your relationship. Try a challenge, such as entering a local chili cooking competition or a photography contest. You don't need money to walk down your street, look at the sky, enjoy a book or sunrise, or other simple pleasures that life has to offer us. Also, a change of scenery can have a powerful impact on your mindset; the first step you take on your walk may be the first step toward a better mental state. Or go out with the goal of making friends. In any case, the happiness of your friend-group could positively influence your own mood. A good way to meet like-minded people is to join a club related to your interests. Studies have shown that being with friends and people of a similar mind can:  Calm you Increase your sense of belonging Increase perceived self-worth Assist in overcoming challenges This can turn into a sore point among your friends, who might find your repeated laments too negative to be...

Article in English: Remember that there is no designated driver - you're it. Be aware of what you are drinking.  Do not leave your drink unattended for any reason.  If someone buys you a drink, make sure you watch the bartender pour it.  If you suspect your drink has been compromised, do NOT drink it.Don't get drunk! If you do get drunk, don't plan on going home without calling a taxi or relative to collect you. Just a reminder: if you're out completely alone, it's not not a good idea to get too drunk or someone will take advantage of you. But if you're walking out to meet friends, that's okay. Take a close read of the street and then go straight to your car, then home. Alone. If the guard or bouncer, or a group of other women you have met, offer to walk you to your car, take them up on it. At the very least, let someone know that you're going home now, and ask them to watch you till you get in your car.  Take a look around - know who is on the street with you, and if you see an alley between you and your car, walk in the middle of the street if necessary to give yourself plenty of room to move if you need to. Walk purposefully and confidently to your car, and when you get there, have your keys ready and unlock the car as you are taking your last steps toward it. As you approach the car do a quick visual check that nobody is inside of it. Get in, lock the doors immediately, buckle up, start your car and drive away. Don't sit in your car fixing your make-up or fiddling with your iPad or texting someone - get going.

Summary in Russian:

Если вы пьяны – возьмите такси до дома. Быстро идите обратно к вашей машине, если вы в состоянии безопасно управлять автомобилем.


Article in English: Remember that this is really not the biggest problem in the world to have. Everything is relative. If a little embarrassment is the worst problem you will ever experience, you’re lucky. If you become flustered and react intensely, this can spur a reaction in others, creating an uncomfortable situation for everyone. Instead, try to keep your cool.  It’s possible that no one will notice or be able to see anyway. It might feel wet to you, but the pee stain may be barely visible to other people around you because of where it’s located. Try to stay relaxed and slip away. If someone does see, remain calm. People often react to embarrassment by becoming flustered, tearful, stuttering, and acting upset overall. This makes the people around you feel awkward as well, causing a tense situation. While it can be incredibly embarrassing to have an accident in public, staying calm can help smooth things over. If anyone notices, try to react with a smile and take it with a grain of salt. You can proceed to do things to help quell your embarrassment. How you respond to something can affect how other people around you respond to it, so your attitude can make the situation more or less embarrassing. Adopt a confident attitude, and try to laugh off the mistake.  In hindsight, embarrassing events are easy to laugh off. People often share embarrassing stories at cocktail parties. In the moment, however, laughing can be hard. Try to remind yourself you will live down this moment. This may make you feel more comfortable laughing. Even if it feels uncomfortable, try your best to laugh it off. Say something like, “Can you believe I just did that? I guess your joke was really funny.” Speak with confidence, and downplay the significance of what just happened. Enlist a friend's help. If you're feeling sensitive, it may be difficult to laugh at yourself. Try to turn to a trusted friend and encourage him or her to laugh with you. Make a joke at your own expense and say, "Am I right?" If your friend joins in, the conversation can go from...

Summary in Russian:

Сохраняйте спокойствие. Посмейтесь над произошедшей ситуацией. Живите настоящим. Выделите немного времени на то, чтобы подумать о ситуации, вызвавшей у вас смущение.


Article in English: Remember that though your intentions may be good, sometimes your words might hurt others.  Before speaking about a sensitive topic, ask yourself if what you’re about to say is true, helpful and kind.  Use “I” statements to describe your own thoughts instead of guessing at what others think or feel.  For instance, you can say “I’m feeling uncomfortable with the decision made in today’s meeting” instead of “You should be upset about that decision today.” Always make statements from your own point of view and perspective. Avoid being defensive or blaming others. If you need to discuss something serious with someone, practice your words beforehand. Always know your audience before delivering a message.  This will help to ensure that it is well received and understood.  Determine whether email or in-person communication works best or if news is best delivered in groups or in one-on-one settings.  For instance, perhaps you need to tell your staff that there will be budget cuts.  In the past you may have used email to deliver sensitive information, but have found that caused confusion.  Call a staff meeting instead and deliver the facts while providing time for questions. Schedule individual meetings as necessary or requested. Instead of always making decisions on your own, listen to the perspectives of others.  Thank them for telling you how they feel so that they always feel comfortable doing so.  Take time to consider others’ opinions, but stand firm by your own decisions when you feel that you have made the best choice. Say “Thank you for your honesty, Jason.  I’ll take what you said about universal healthcare into consideration and I’ll do more research.” When speaking to others, don’t be aggressive, but do be confident.  Speak slowly and deliberately.  Sit with your legs and arms uncrossed and look people in the eye when they are speaking. You should still acknowledge when you don't know something. For example, say, "I'm not sure about that subject and don't know the answer right now, but I'll be sure to look...

Summary in Russian:

Тщательно подбирайте слова. Стиль речи должен соответствовать ситуации. Непредвзято относитесь к новым идеям. Используйте уверенные слова и язык тела. Используйте уклончивые слова. Следите за своими манерами. Контролируйте эмоции.


Article in English: Remember that you are there to introduce the guest speaker. Your introduction should not take over the event. A few short paragraphs is enough to set the stage. This is enough time to bring up the speaker’s credentials and capture the audience’s interest. A goal of the introduction is to explain why the speaker was chosen to talk. Relevant credentials apply here. Highlight some of the speaker’s expertise in the subject matter. Examples of qualifications include published work, job experience, success stories. Show that the speaker is an authority, but keep the qualifications brief and relevant.  If the speaker is giving a talk about improving teamwork, for instance, mention that the speaker has changed the working environment in several Fortune 500 companies. You also wouldn’t want to list off degrees, awards, or Fortune 500 work experiences when the talk is about knitting at home. It’s your job to capture the audience’s attention. To do this, express that the audience will get a lot out of the speech. The lessons should be relevant to the speaking event. If the speech is about public speaking, for instance, the audience wants to know what they can learn for their own lives. For example, you might say, “John Smith will prove today that anyone can give a charismatic speech and that a little bit of anxiety isn’t always bad news.” Chances are you were chosen to speak because you had some interaction with your guest. You don’t need to know the speaker well to do this. Since the speaker and their words appear personal to you, the audience will notice. They’ll relate to you and want to hear the speech.  You can mention something like, “20 years ago I became acquainted with a man who has challenged me to be better. He has become a good friend.” You may also give a brief anecdote, such as “I heard John Smith speak in Miami and it moved me,” or, “Dr. Smith shared his ideas with me this morning and I guarantee you’ll love them.” Be careful not to gush since it could raise expectations for the speaker. It may reduce the...

Представление должно занимать не больше трех минут. Сообщите квалификацию оратора. Сообщите слушателям, что они смогут узнать. Расскажите короткую личную историю. Старайтесь не использовать юмор. Сообщите имя гостя в конце представления. Прочитайте свою речь вслух.


Article in English: Remember that you do not have to stay in a love triangle, but neither do you have to leave. You have options, and you have choices: you can act according to what you think will be best for you.  If you aren't the one who initiated the love triangle, it can be difficult to not feel like a victim. However, to remain in the psychological position of a victim will ultimately cause more harm than good. Victims often think in terms of "shoulds" and "rights" - "It wasn't right that she flirted with him, when she knew we were married." "He should understand that I'm exhausted because of the kids and my work schedule!" While there may be some very good reasons for explaining what should have happened, and what actions might have been "right", love doesn't operate on objectively logical basis. It will help you to set these reasons aside while you make your own decisions about how to live.  You may not be able to leave for reasons of financial insecurity, cultural taboo, lack of social supports, or other reasons. However, if you can leave a love triangle, it's often easier to do so than to stay. You may choose to seek help in making this decision. Even someone who's left a relationship due to a love triangle may benefit from professional counseling. If you're the target of emotional, sexual or physical abuse as a result of the love triangle, this is called domestic violence. Seek help from a trusted friend, your health care provider, a crisis shelter, a counseling center, or the court system. If you are in danger, contact your local police. It may be painful, but being in a love triangle does not make you a bad person.  You may choose to stay in the love triangle. While unconventional, polyamory may be the option that works best for you, and that is fine. The important thing about remaining in a love triangle is that it's chosen by all three parties - but the same thing is true of two-person relationships as well! Consensual non-monogamy is a valid option.  Whether you choose to leave or stay, remember that this is a...

Article in English: Remember that your alters may take over at any time. Depending on the specific circumstances of your case, one or more of these alters may be children or may be otherwise unaware of where they should go. Be prepared. Keep a paper with your name, address, and telephone number, along with the contact information for your therapist and at least one good friend, at your home, at your workplace, and in your car.

Article in English: Remember that your brain and body are developing. If you restrict too many meals, you can damage your future health and intelligence. You can also lower your current concentration and self esteem. Too much focus on weight loss can lead you to be unhappy and ill.

You don't have to ask questions or beg for reassurance—just let them know that you're having negative feelings about your body. You'll scare your parents if you start eating less or exercising too much, and you'll scare them if you aren't honest with them about your diet and your worries. If you are trying to lose weight without your parents knowing, ask yourself why. If you're really doing something harmless, why is it a secret?

Diets work better with family support. . If you're trying to lose weight without your parents knowing, you might have an eating disorder. Ask yourself: do I think about food all the time?

If any of these are the case, talk to your doctor as soon as possible.  If you think of your eating or your body as a problem, talk to a doctor.

Summary in Russian:

Заботьтесь о себе. Поговорите со своими родителями. Если у вас расстройство пищевого поведения, обратитесь за помощью.


Article in English: Remember that you’re an adult, too. Dealing with older family members, such as your partner’s parents, can make you feel like a child again, but it shouldn’t. If you feel like you’re being harassed or judged negatively, it’s your right to stand up for yourself.  Being assertive doesn’t have to mean being disrespectful. You can stand up for yourself while still being respectful and kind. For instance, you can assertively say, "I know you don't understand my culture, but it's important for me and Henry to celebrate this holiday. I respect your beliefs, and I'd appreciate it if you did the same for me." If you’re having trouble with a particular person, try bringing up the issue with them yourself. Taking the initiative to solve the problem will show your maturity, and they may respect you more for speaking up. It’s much better to talk through problems when they happen than to let them go unaddressed for years. Say, "When you talk over me like that Josie, it makes me feel like I don't have a voice. I'd really appreciate it if you let me finish talking before sharing your opinion." If your partner’s family frequently offers you unsolicited advice or criticism, prepare a few noncommittal responses to redirect the conversation. Practice these responses before you need to use them. This will help you stay calm and collected in the moment.  If you’re talking to someone older, a good way to handle unsolicited advice is to respond politely with something like, “How interesting!” or “What a neat story!” For instance, if your partner’s mother tells you that you should feed your kids differently, ask her how she fed her children when they were growing up. Other good go-to responses include “That’s interesting, I’ll have to try it sometime” and “Thanks for the advice, but we’ve decided to do it this way.” If you really can’t resolve your conflicts with your partner’s family, the best course of action might be to limit your contact with them. Skipping family events may be the best way to maintain peace and avoid straining...

Summary in Russian:

Ведите себя уверенно и решительно. Поговорите с родственниками партнера. Отклоняйте нежелательные советы и комментарии. Попробуйте ограничить общение с родственниками партнера.


Article in English: Remember the audience is hearing the speech and not reading it. When you write a campaign speech, it's very important to keep in mind that how you write for listeners is going to be much different from how you would write for readers. A lot of people get nervous when they give a speech, and when people get nervous they talk fast. But fast talkers seem untrustworthy. So if you get nervous, 	space	out	 your	words (literally, put five spaces in between each word on the page)	  to	keep	  your	speech     measured. Even though you're not actually having a conversation with someone, it should sound like you are. Don't worry about eliminating contractions, splitting infinitives, or leaving modifiers dangling. Don't go overboard with informality. You're asking to lead your peers, so they need to trust you can do that. Most people can't lead well, so to convince them you can lead well, your speech should also reflect that you're more capable than an average person. You need to strike a balance. Speak at a level just above the level of a typical conversation. Student audiences have especially short attention spans and limited vocabularies. As a good rule of thumb, keep all of your sentences at fifteen words or less.  Instead of: "We need to address the way we schedule our lunch breaks in a reasonable but fair way, because the way we do it now isn't fair to anyone." Try: "We have people eating lunch at 10:30 am. They're still serving breakfast at Burger King at 10:30! It doesn't make sense! By the time 2:00 rolls around, the early lunch kids are starving. There is a better way. We all know it." People may only hear your speech once. Read your speech aloud exactly as you want it to sound when you’re giving it. You’ll probably find words and phrases that sound clunky to the ear or trip up your tongue. Rephrase them. For even more focused practice, try speaking in front of a mirror or in front of a camera.

Article in English: Remember this photo will be seen by many people in and outside of your LinkedIn network. You want to keep your brand consistent and professional.

If you follow the guidelines described above, you will be able to choose a LinkedIn profile picture that is professional and represents you and your personal brand. Going to a photographer who does professional headshots will guarantee your profile picture to be the most professional. It may be beneficial for you to research your local photo studios because they may offer a professional headshot package. There may even be coupons and other deals.

Article in English: Remember to avoid hyperventilating--taking quick or shallow breaths. This behavior is dangerous because your body will lose oxygen more quickly and you may suffer hypoxic blackout and even death. As you fall below the surface of the water, assume a horizontal position parallel to the pool floor. Keep your head and eyes in a neutral position facing the bottom of the pool and bring your arms up over your head, squeezing them alongside your ears. Keep your torso and arms in a streamlined position, bend your knees, and plant both of your feet on the wall. Press firmly into both of your feet to push you forward and give your body momentum. This kick is considered the most powerful for swimming underwater. Keep your legs and feet together and bend your knees slightly. Kick both legs forward simultaneously, finishing with them slightly in front of the body. Repeat until you reach the other side of the pool, coming up for air if necessary. The power of dolphin kick comes from moving your legs like a whip. Focus on fully extending your legs to get the most power from the kick. This streamlined position is the most efficient for cutting through the water as quickly as possible and will alert you to obstacles ahead of you. When your hands meet the pool wall, use them to push against the wall to bring you to the surface.

Article in English: Remember to brush your teeth and tongue before you leave your house. Have mints or a pack of gum handy if you are heading to a party where you think a kissable guy might be. There is nothing worse than kissing someone with bad breath so do yourself a favor and harness that halitosis. Ask him to hang out somewhere that will set the stage for a kiss--go for a walk, go see a movie, etc. If you are at a party, you can go in another room and ask him to come. Ask him to go outside with you or find some other way to get him alone (partners hide and seek anyone?) Having friends around will probably kill the mood and will also put a lot of pressure on him. If you really want to be kissed, find a way to be alone with your guy. Be confident and friendly. If you are nervous, try not to show it. Have an open, welcoming body posture--keep your arms and legs uncrossed, look into his eyes while you are talking and face your body towards his. Laugh at his jokes and compliment him. Compliment him on what you really like about him, for example: 'You look great in that shirt--it really brings out your blue eyes.' Make him feel comfortable. If you aren't already close to him, step closer, minimizing the space between you two. If necessary, create a ruse to get closer to him. Chances are, he’s probably trying to come up with a way to get closer to you too and your ruse may give him the opportunity to kiss you that he has been looking for. If you’re outside, shiver and say you’re a little chilly and shuffle closer to him. If you’re indoors, say he has an eyelash or something on his face. Lean in and wipe it off, then look up into his eyes and don’t move away.
