Article in English: Studies show that brushing can prevent gingivitis. Effective brushing should not only reach in between teeth to remove plaque, but also massage the gums to stimulate micro-circulation in that area. The best technique for brushing your teeth is the modified Bass Method. Orient your brush in such a way that its head is tilted at a 45-degree angle towards the gum line. This allows the bristles to clean 1 mm below the gum line. Use small, vibratory, circular strokes to remove plaque. After about 20 strokes, do a sweeping motion towards the biting surface of your teeth. For the biting surfaces, do a back and forth brushing stroke. Repeat these steps for all of your teeth. Flossing helps to remove plaque along the margins of your gums. This saves the gums from getting irritated by bacteria present in plaque. Floss first, since flossing brings the plaque stuck between the teeth out, and then you brush it away.  Get an elbow length piece of dental floss and wrap each end around your middle fingers. Leave at least an inch of floss between your fingers to work with. With the help of your index finger, gently slide the floss in between your teeth, starting at the back. Allow the floss to hug the surface of your tooth and gently slide down to the gum line. Then, drag the floss against the surface of your tooth. Do not force the floss in between your teeth as this could damage your gums and cause bleeding. Repeat the same steps between all of your teeth. Dissolve 9 teaspoons of salt in three cups of warm water. Rinse for 30 seconds, then spit out. Do this twice a day. Rinsing with salt water is an effective way to reduce the bacteria in your mouth. The bacteria present in plaque causes irritation of your gums. Salt rinses create a diffusion gradient inside the mouth. This means that it causes the bacteria to become dehydrated and die. Those that smoke are more likely to get gum disease, as smoking is very hard on the gums and bone, causing bone loss, which subsequently is more difficult to keep clean. The habit can give...

Article in English: Studies show that eating a good, healthy, protein-packed breakfast (think oats, egg whites, and lean meat) versus, oh, say a package of donuts can have a lasting, energizing effect all day. You'd think the sugar in those donuts would get you going, and it does -- until you crash a couple hours later (and then you're hungry again). So eat a healthy breakfast for the sake of your entire day. In addition to eating a healthy breakfast, it's also important to just eat breakfast. It gets your metabolism going, your body revs up, and you're ready to tackle the day. If you don't eat, you may feel sluggish and that afternoon siesta may turn into a lost evening. Caffeine and sugar are standards that will pump up your activity level.  The form you choose is one of personal taste but energy drinks, coffee, soda and candy are great sources.  If you had the time to plan ahead, you might want to “carb load” the night before to give your body that extra boost so you can last longer.  Of course, with things like this, you will experience a crash. It could be minutes later, it could be hours, but it'll happen. The solution is not to consume more. That just will make the next crash worse! Be careful with caffeine pills; do not take more than one. Your heart will start going crazy and you'll feel like death's knocking. Be aware of the dangers of crushing and snorting caffeine pills (or any pills for that matter). It is not advised and can cause you bodily harm. . You know that whole "sitting in front of the TV makes you want to sit in front of the TV" thing? The opposite is true, too. When you exercise, you get your blood pumping, your juices flowing, your body ready and raring to go -- making you more hyper, even though you've spent your energy working out. You'll feel good, you'll feel energized, and you'll be healthier! Did we mention that exercise releases endorphins, your get-happy hormone? Talk about killing two birds with one stone! This one is definitely a no-brainer. If you want to have some serious stashes of energy,...

Article in English: Studies show that eating lean proteins like chicken, lean beef, beans, and healthy fats found in fish, avocados, nuts, and seeds promotes fat loss. Choose proteins and fats that are hormone-free and unprocessed.  Consuming 1200 mg calcium per day may help you reduce your body fat. Aim for three servings of dairy a day. Choose products made from skim milk to lower the number of calories you take in from dairy each day.  Choose olive oil and grapeseed oil over canola oil and butter when you cook. Studies show that drinking plenty of water actually increases the body's metabolic rate, leading to more fat loss. Aim for 2 litres of water per day, more if you're active.  Replace alcohol, soda (including diet soda), coffee, and other drinks with water. Start your day by drinking a large glass of water when you wake up, before you eat breakfast. Starting your day off with a healthy breakfast gives you the right foundation for eating well all day long. Because your metabolism slows down at night, eating breakfast in the morning can boost your metabolism to a more active state. If you skip breakfast, you'll be more likely to eat too much or lose your willpower to eat nutritious foods later in the day.  Eat a lot of protein and fiber at breakfast to keep you full for several hours. Fruit, eggs, and vegetable smoothies are great breakfast choices. Avoid eating pancakes and other baked goods for breakfast. These give your body a shot of sugar without wholesome nutrients, so you'll get hungry faster. Plus, you'll be starting the day at a dietary disadvantage. Soluble fiber, which is found in fruit, vegetables, and whole grains, lowers insulin levels in your body and leads to fat loss.  Eating plenty of fiber with every meal will also make you feel full faster, so you won't be as tempted to eat high-calorie foods.  Eat whole fruits and vegetables. Fresh, whole vegetables and fruits like apples, cherries, oranges, broccoli, spinach, kale, and sweet potatoes have a lot of fiber. Eat whole grains. Try steel cut oatmeal instead...

Article in English: Studies show that humor can effectively help deflect criticism and improve social relations. A well-timed joke can derail an argumentative exchange and increase your rapport with the other person.  Joke about something that's present to you both and will distract from the hostility, such as the weather or something funny about the room. Make sure the joke isn't at the other person's expense! Fogging is an assertive communication technique that allows you to give a little ground without giving too much. You can use this to let the other person know that you're willing to take an honest look at yourself and not block their criticism out completely, even if you disagree with it overall. Example: If the person says you're always late to meetings, you can reply with yes, I was late to the meeting yesterday. You can use "negative assertions" if the person has a genuine point about your behavior and you want to let them know that you agree with the specific criticism, without allowing the criticism to define you as a person. Admitting fault doesn't have to reflect on you as a person, especially if you recognize the behavior is negative and have a desire to change. Example: If you are frequently late to meetings, you can say yes, I've been late to a lot of meetings recently. I'm sorry about that. I'll try to be on time from now on. One way to make sure people recognize your integrity and grace is to ask them if they have any other criticisms you could address together. This shows your willingness to be honest with yourself as well as your lack of need to be defensive, because you accept yourself even if you have critics, because you can see them as opportunities for improvement Sometimes, the most graceful method of dealing with hostile criticism is to leave the room. This will allow the other person to cool down and protect yourself from danger. Defending yourself by avoiding challenges can be just as productive and healthy as facing them, under the right circumstances.

Article in English: Studies show that lying is a regular part of daily life even for people we’d otherwise consider moral, upstanding individuals. When people lie to ease social tensions, rather than to serve their own purposes, a white lie might be a better option than the truth. Lie as little as possible, without elaboration. An elaborate story about why you can’t attend a party will seem suspicious, and will also be more difficult to keep track of if someone asks you about it later. Everyone understands that familial obligations always trump parties. Tell your friends that you have to babysit a sibling, or that your parents are forcing you to have dinner at your uncle's house that night. An iron-clad excuse is that you're grounded; everyone will understand that there's no way you can come to a party. Only the most overbearing friend would try to guilt you into canceling plans you've already made with someone else to come to their party. But make sure that you don’t use a friend who’s attending the part as your alibi. Say you have plans with a friend from a different school, or even with an imaginary friend. On the day of the party, text your friend saying that you think you ate something bad, and that you have food poisoning. Nobody wants someone throwing up at their party. Plus, food poisoning passes very quickly, so nobody can be suspicious when you feel fine again the next day. Whether you're a student or an adult with a job, everyone knows and understands that sometimes we fall behind and have to catch up on our work. If the host still tries to pressure you into coming, say that your parents or your boss are upset with you, and you have to make it up to them. If the party is two weeks away, and you know the whole time that you don’t want to attend the party, don’t wait until the last second to get out of it! Set up your lie ahead of time to deflect suspicion. Some things you might consider are:  Telling the host at the time of invitation that you have a previous engagement on that day. Telling the host a day or two before...

Article in English: Studies show that people exposed to a high dose of radiation are at risk for leukemia. A classic example is the Hiroshima bombing survivors. Their exposure to atomic bomb radiation increased their chances of getting leukemia dramatically.  Even low doses of radiation in x-rays, CT scans, or radiotherapy increase chances of developing leukemia. Therefore, you should avoid repeated exposure to these tests and treatments as much as possible. Health care professionals must be responsible in avoiding unnecessary radiation exposure for patients. Benzene is a chemical base for producing other chemicals such as gasoline, lubricants, and pesticides. It carries a sweet odor that can be absorbed easily once inhaled.  It can also penetrate the skin upon exposure. Rates of leukemia, specifically AML, are higher in people exposed to benzene.  Chronic exposure causes sufficient amounts of benzene to wreak havoc in the body. Avoid working in places with repeated exposure to benzene such as gasoline stations and cigarette factories. New safety regulations have prompted lessening of benzene content in products such as gasoline. Still, it is best to lessen frequenting gasoline stations and crude oil mills. Smoking induces benzene exposure because benzene is emitted in cigarette smoke. Other radioactive chemicals are also found in cigarettes.  Second-hand smoking exposes a person to benzene as well. The best advice for smokers is to quit smoking now and save other’s lives too. For non-smokers, avoid cigarette smoke at all cost. Children treated with chemo for other forms of cancer have a higher risk of developing a secondary cancer like Acute Myeloid Leukemia which develops within 5-10 years of treatment.  Alkylating agents are mostly the culprit for secondary cancer caused by chemotherapy. This drug attaches a disruptive alkyl group that damages the DNA of cells. There is an increased incidence of leukemia with this group of drugs. It is advisable to discuss the treatment plan carefully with a doctor when undergoing...

Article in English: Studies show that repressing negative emotions can deplete your psychological resources, making it more difficult for you to handle stress and make good decisions. This means that numbing yourself from emotional pain might hurt your resilience or even your ability to remember events. Only numb yourself if it is truly necessary for you to get through your daily life.  An effective alternative to numbing yourself is to work through your emotional pain by reframing it and focusing on more positive emotions. For example, you might want to numb yourself to an embarrassing incident that happened to you at work. However, maybe you can try to see that the incident is not humiliating, but rather quite funny. This is commonly known as cognitive reappraisal and, while not the same as emotional numbness, can produce a similar desired effect.  Be aware that feelings of total or long-term numbness might be an indication of mental health disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or clinical depression. If you feel constantly lost, numb, and hopeless, you should see your doctor or therapist as soon as possible. . The easiest way for you to numb your emotional response is to control your surroundings. Make sure that you are not triggering extreme emotional responses in the first place. If you know that certain people, places, and activities bring out the worst in you, try to stay away from them as much as possible. Sometimes you have to be around people you dislike or perform tasks you hate. If you cannot avoid the things that cause you emotional pain, find ways to take control over them. Do not view yourself as a helpless victim: find as much agency as you can in the situation. Simply reminding yourself that you always have a choice can help you get through emotional times relatively unscathed. For example:  If you get stressed out studying for tests the night before the exam, try studying for the exam two nights before instead. Then you can relax the night before the exam. If you hate going to parties because...

Article in English: Studies show that spending time outdoors, surrounded by nature can be beneficial to your mood.  Find a local park, forest, or green space where you can spend at least 20 minutes. Take a walk, read a book on a park bench, or simply sit and enjoy the birds and flowers. You will feel more relaxed and satisfied after your encounter with nature. It is easy to get into a bad mood when you are low energy and hungry. If you start to feel down, eat a nutritious snack that will elevate your mood and give you energy. Almonds, yogurt, fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole grains are good choices to keep you happy and energized. Resist the urge to eat so-called "comfort foods." Many of these comfort foods might taste great, but they only provide short bursts of energy and satiation. This means that you are more likely to experience an energy crash later, which might bring your bad mood right back. Staying up late and getting a poor night's rest can increase the likelihood of bad moods. In general people are happier when they go to bed early and maximize the amount of time they are awake when the sun is out. To make sure of that, you should:  Make sure your bedroom stays cool and dark at night Use a white noise machine to cover up ambient sounds Avoid naps during the day Stay away from caffeine, alcohol, and large meals in the afternoon and evening hours Give yourself time to wind down and relax before bed Avoid electronic screens right before bedtime Raise your heart rate with vigorous aerobic exercise for 20-30 minutes at least three times a week. For example, you can jog, swim, bike, or participate in an aerobics class. You should also make some time to exercise when you begin to feel a bad mood come on. Exercise releases endorphins and serves as an effective distraction from distressing things. This will help elevate your mood in the moment, and regular exercise can reduce the frequency of bad moods. Be sure to consult with a physician before beginning an exercise regime to make sure you are staying safe and healthy....

Article in English: Studies show that talking elevates a person's blood pressure. Listening brings it back down. Listening relaxes us, which allows us to pay attention to our surroundings (and those in it). Perceptive listening goes beyond actively listening, which focuses on listening to another person, reflecting on what he or she says, and sharing your thoughts.  It also requires you to think about what the other person is thinking and how he or she acts while talking.  It demands focus and being mindful of and present in the conversation by paying close attention to cues from the other person and providing feedback relevant to the discussion. The need to interpret information limits people in their ability to understand what a message means. These interpretations are often dictated by a person's life experiences. Therefore, they are also limited by these experiences. This leaves a lot of room for error in understanding what another person means. Listening is not an involuntary, automatic response to hearing what someone is saying. It involves a conscious effort on your part and requires practice. Foremost is that you respect the speaker as a human being who deserves to be heard. An effective listener will validate and empower others. This improves the relationship and often leads to future discussions that are straight forward and detailed. Here are some tips to being a more effective listener.  Focus your attention, shut out distractions and listen closely to what's said. You cannot assess a statement's logic or the speaker's true intentions if you're unfocused.  Respond to what's said so the speaker feels heard and believes you understand what he or she is saying. This feedback also allows you to clear up any misinterpretations in your processing. Don't interrupt when providing feedback. Wait for natural breaks in the conversation and for cues from the speaker, such as “Does that make sense?” Ask questions at appropriate times to draw out what the speaker might not have said otherwise.  Pay attention to the speaker's...

Article in English: Studies show that women tend to find men with beards more masculine and attractive. However, a long beard often suggests that the man is of a low socio-economic status. Women are most attracted to light beards or heavy stubble. In other words, grow a beard, but keep it nice and trimmed. Electronic trimmers designed for beards are available at most drug stores. These have settings that are adapted to keeping a short beard, close to the face. Even if you don’t want to build muscle, you should aim to get thin and stay thin. Walk daily and consider jogging. Cut down on the number of calories you eat, while increasing how much protein you consume.   Avoid eating late dinners and try to walk after you eat to help metabolize your meal. You’ll be less likely to overeat if eat breakfast and snack throughout the day. Snacks should be high in protein, low in sugar. Eat whole grain breads and cereals instead of processed white breads. Such products should list “whole wheat” flour on the ingredient list, rather than “enriched” or “bleached” flour. Your clothes are important for showing off your physique and establishing your social status. It is important to find something that both fits your body and suggests that you are a person with status.  V-Neck sweaters are a good mix of causal and classy. Although they look less intimidating than a full suit, they have a studious and serious look to them. A button up shirt with dress pants and a tie is also a professional, but semi-casual look that can be adapted to many environments. Rolled up sleeves create a more casual look and show off your forearms. Your shirt should be tucked in and your belt should match your shoes. For a really casual look, try a white t-shirt with jeans. Both should be tight enough to show off your body, but not so tight that they are uncomfortable or show too much.

Article in English: Studies suggest that having goals (and people who support those goals) may help you be less likely to use drugs. This is likely because it encourages you to consider what you want out of your future and what you'll do to get yourself there. In contrast, using drugs is all about what feels "good" right now, regardless of the impact it makes on your future.  If you feel tempted to try drugs, even once, consider what it may do to your goals for the future. How likely are you to be able to achieve your goals if you're dependent on an expensive and/or illegal drug, or in jail or with a criminal record for using it? Setting goals can also help improve your self-confidence. When you feel confident in yourself and your ability to achieve what you set out to do, you're less likely to want to do drugs.  Setting and achieving goals is also crucial to getting off of drugs. This practice shows you that you can achieve what you set out to do, including kick your drug use. Strong relationships with your family and loved ones are a protective factor against drug use. In other words, having a strong relationship with your family and friends will make you less likely to give in to temptation. If you're feeling pressured or curious about drug use, don't keep it to yourself. Find someone you know, trust, and respect to talk to about it. Other people can offer you advice and support, which is very important for staying drug free. If you're consistently being pressured, even bullied, to try drugs, talk to someone in authority, such as a parent, teacher, or counselor. You don't have to face this pressure on your own. Getting support from others will help you stand strong against drugs. If you are tempted to use drugs because you want to feel good, keep your focus off of drugs by doing other things that are enjoyable and fun.   For example, take up a hobby, spend more time laughing with friends, play a fun video game, or help others out, to feel better instead. This will help you find new meaning in your life.. Go for a run, get...

Article in English: Studies suggest that people who have a history of depression may be more likely to use emotional regulation that actually keeps them depressed. This type of emotional regulation is associated with using negative coping strategies (such as drinking alcohol to excess) which increases depression instead of reducing it. Avoid rumination. When you ruminate, you replay a negative situation again and again in your mind. While you may be replaying a situation to try and pinpoint what, exactly, went wrong, ruminating tends to only intensify negative feelings and offers little insight. Instead, try asking yourself: "What, if anything, can I change?" Make a list of small, manageable goals that address things that are within your power to change. It may also help to disrupt the thoughts if you go for a walk or exercise. Everyone has negative thoughts from time to time. However, the more negative thoughts you have, the more depressed you may feel. This is because our thinking has much to do with how we feel. Instead of believing negative self-talk, you can learn to challenge them and develop positive thinking habits. Think of your thoughts as hypotheses or fleeting ideas instead of as facts. If you have a negative thought such as, “This situation is terrible. I hate it,” question your perception of the situation. This is called cognitive reappraisal. Is it all that bad? Is it really so terrible or can you try to cope with it? It is possible that you can change the way you think about it or find a way to help it be better? Tell yourself, “It isn’t so bad. It sucks, but I can deal with it.” Individuals who suffer from depression may get into the habit of self-loathing or negative self-talk. Some examples include thinking, “I’m not good enough. I’m a failure. I’m stupid.” If you have similar negative thoughts, these will most likely lead to negative emotions. In order to combat this thinking you can use positive affirmations. An example of a positive affirmation is thinking, “I’m doing the best I can and it’s good enough for...

Article in English: Studies suggest that people with schizophrenia tend to have more unhealthy diets than non-schizophrenic people. Lack of exercise and smoking are also common among people with schizophrenia. Research suggests that a diet low in saturated fat, high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, and low in sugar might be beneficial also in alleviating the symptoms of schizophrenia.  Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is a protein that is active in the parts of the brain associated with learning, memory, and higher thinking. While the evidence is as yet unclear, a possible hypothesis is that a high-fat, high-sugar diet leads to exacerbation of symptoms in schizophrenia. Unhealthy diets can lead to secondary medical problems, such as cancer, diabetes, or obesity. Eat more probiotics. Probiotics contain beneficial bacteria which improve the quality of the gut. Many people seeking a health-conscious treatment for the symptoms of schizophrenia may want to include balanced diet which contains probiotics. Sauerkraut and miso soup are good sources of probiotics. Probiotics are sometimes added to foods and are available as a dietary supplement.  Avoid products with casein. A small percentage of people with schizophrenia have negative reactions to casein, which is found in milk products. Smoking cigarettes is more common among people with schizophrenia than the average population. One study estimated that over 75% of adults diagnosed with schizophrenia also reported smoking cigarettes.  Nicotine can lead to temporary improvement in thinking, which may be why many people with schizophrenia choose to smoke. However, this is a short-term improvement. It does not counterbalance the long-term negative consequences of smoking. Most smokers started smoking before the psychotic features of schizophrenia appeared. Research is unclear on whether cigarette smoke may result in vulnerability to schizophrenia manifestation, or whether the higher rates of smoking are a side effect of antipsychotic medication. Gluten is the general name for the...

Article in English: Studies suggest that regular aerobic exercise can prevent and reverse blood clot formation by increasing blood flow. Try walking, cycling, rowing, running, swimming, or jumping rope, whatever gets you moving every day. Check with your doctor about what kind of exercise is safest for you. Dehydration thickens your blood and may lead to complications. Be sure to drink plenty of water, as staying hydrated can prevent clots from forming. Nattokinase is an enzyme that breaks down fibrin, which may prevent clots from forming and dissolve those that have begun to form. Nattokinase is found in natto (a fermented Japanese food made from soybeans), fermented black beans, fermented shrimp paste, and tempeh. Rutin targets protein disulfide isomerase, an enzyme involved in blood clotting. It is found in apples, oranges, lemons, grapefruits (note that grapefruit interacts with some blood thinners), limes, buckwheat, onion, and tea. Have one of these fruits as dessert after each meal, or incorporate them into the meals themselves. Bromelain interacts with fibrinogen to help clear away the fibrin that holds blood clots together. Bromelain is found only in pineapples. If you are at an increased risk for blood clots, considering including pineapples in your dessert after as many meals as possible. Garlic inhibits the production of thromboxane, which is involved in blood clots. It also contains ajoene and adenosine, which helps prevent and dissolve blood clots. Onions also include adenosine, so you should incorporate them into your diet as well. Too much protein (especially red meat and dairy products) seems to stimulate blood clot formation. Try to eat plenty of fish instead. The omega-3 fatty acids may reduce your cholesterol, thin your blood, and reduce clotting, though current evidence is inconclusive. For best results, focus on salmon, tuna, herring, mackerel, and sardines.

Article in English: Studies suggest that the flavonoids found in cocoa beans may increase blood flow to the brain. Flavonoids can also be found in red wine, red grapes, apples and berries. Teas, particularly green or white teas, are another excellent source of flavonoids.  Make sure that your overall caloric intake remains within healthy limits. Increasing fat or sugar levels to your daily diet may have negative consequences. Research on the beneficial effects of flavonoids is still preliminary. Drinking beet juice has been shown to increase blood flow to the brain.Beets contain nitrates, which are converted to nitrites by naturally occurring bacteria in your mouth. Nitrites help to widen blood vessels, and help increase blood flow to the brain.  Nitrates are also found in celery, cabbage, and other green, leafy vegetables. Eating fruits and vegetables high in nitrates is recommended for optimal brain functioning. Converting these foods into juices is the quickest way to ingest a therapeutic dose. Nuts, seeds, blueberries, and avocados are sometimes called "superfoods" for their high nutritional value. Research suggests that consuming these foods has a positive effect on maintaining a healthy brain into old age.  Walnuts, pecans, almonds, cashews and other nuts are excellent sources of Vitamin E. Deficits in Vitamin E have been linked to cognitive decline. You can eat them raw or roasted. Unhydrogenated nut butters maintain their high nutritional content. Avocados are high in monounsaturated fat, which has been linked to increased blood flow to the brain. Monounsaturated fat helps to reduce bad cholesterol from the blood, and leads to lower blood pressure. Avocados also provide nutrients to help improve your overall health. Blueberries help protect the brain from oxidative stress, which deteriorates brain functioning. Eating one cup a day of blueberries — fresh, dried, or frozen — has been shown to increase brain functioning. Ginkgo Biloba has long been used to increase blood flow to the brain. Ginkgo also protects the nerve...

Article in English: Study as much as you can: learn pronunciation, sentence structure, verb conjugations, and as much vocabulary as you can. If you are serious about learning Norsk, buy a dictionary and a phrase book as well.  A store that specializes in languages should be able to help you to choose a suitable book. If you are more interested in learning to speak Norwegian, you should focus on expanding your vocabulary and learning word pronunciation. If you are more interested in learning to read, write, and translate Norwegian, you will need a understanding of regular and irregular verbs, noun cases, and other complex grammar rules. Fortunately, Norwegian has relatively simple grammar rules, especially compared with other Germanic languages.  One of the books series made specifically for foreigners learning Norwegian is “Ta Ordet” by the publishers CappelenDamm. Look for sites that teach Norwegian, along with pronunciation and tests. Online resources are especially valuable because they will contain audio clips to help you pronounce words correctly. Look for websites like: Learn Norwegian Naturally, My Little Norway, or Babbel. This is a simple and effective way to learn parts of a language. If you’re struggling to learn a part of Norwegian—for example, if irregular verbs are tripping you up—write the verb on a note card, and all of its conjugations on the back. Then quiz yourself by reciting as many of the conjugations as you can remember, before you flip the card over. You can put a variety of information in Norwegian on various sets of flashcards. Consider creating distinct sets to quiz yourself on:  Vocabulary. Verb conjugation. Articles and pronouns. This approach is similar to the flash cards; you will remember more Norwegian vocabulary and grammar rules if you see it regularly throughout your day. Coordinate the specific sticky notes with locations in your house. For example, put food vocabulary in your kitchen, and verb conjugations on your writing desk.

Article in English: Study groups are supposed to be groups of people studying - not socializing.  That means group members need not be friends, but rather people interested in getting a good grade in the science class. The ideal group size is 3-5 people. The study group should commit to meet at least once a week throughout the semester. Meeting locations should be a place where everyone is comfortable, and ideally contains enough chairs and power outlets for every group member.  Having a room with a whiteboard or chalkboard is also ideal.  Study sessions should last between 2 and 3 hours, and should include a couple of breaks. This is one group member who is responsible to coordinate the meeting times and locations, keeping track of the time, and ensuring the group is following the overall plan (if one was created). A facilitator isn’t required, but is nice to have.  However, it’s important for this person to know they are now “in charge” but are simply making sure things are organized and stay on track. These goals and objectives can be created for the study group as a whole, or for each study session.  If created for each study session, these goals and objectives would include what chapters or topics are to be covered during that session, and how the group members should prepare for the session. Having clear goals and objectives helps make sure the study group stays focused on what they want to accomplish. Use your own words to teach someone else a scientific concept or equation.  This will help you understand the topic more clearly, and will also allow your group members to provide feedback on anything that doesn’t make sense.  Don’t just teach each other new or unknown items, but use this method to review any and all concepts you’ve already learned. Study groups aren’t just for studying, they’re also for providing each other moral support and encouragement.  Make sure you congratulate each other on a job well done.  Turn feedback into a positive statement.  Come up with fun and exciting methods to learn new materials in your...

Article in English: Study how the character talks, acts, and moves. Note how he/she behaves towards other characters. Some people act differently towards different people. Keep in mind that the print version of the character can be different from the film version. This may include how the character looks and acts. The character's backstory may also change. Some people find it easier to remember a character's quotes if they are written, rather than spoken. Some characters also appear in video games. These games can tell you more about the character. Some games even expand the character's backstory. Keep in mind, that not every character will appear in a video game—and if they do, it may not always be a large part. Make sure that you play licensed gamed and not fan-created games. Fan-created games do not always portray the characters accurately. Instead, they often cater towards certain parts of the fandom. The backstory can explain why a character acts the way he/she does. For example, Severus Snape from Harry Potter, is often mean, especially to Harry Potter. His backstory, however, reveals that he was bullied by Harry's father. The backstory can also give you ideas for interacting with other cosplayers. You will also want to note his/her facial expressions. These tiny details can help bring your cosplay to life and make it more believable.  Note speech patterns. Does the character have a casual way or talking, or a more old-fashioned, archaic way? For example, Thor from the "Avengers" often uses old, archaic terms such as "thou." Note repeated words or phrases. For example, Reno from "Final Fantasy VII" often ends his sentences with "yo." Note the way a character talks. Does your character talk fast in a pitchy voice? Or does he have a slower, halting way of talking? Severus Snape is known for having very long... pauses... when he speaks. Study the way the character walks and stands. This can help make your cosplay more believable. After all, a Gaston (from "Beauty and the Beast") who slouches all the time will not be very...

Article in English: Study somewhere away from distractions, such as  your bed or your friends. Going to a new physical space will allow you to focus solely on the task at hand. Make sure to find a place where you will not have to move for a while. A quiet room, library, coffee shop, or your study desk are ideal options. Make a list of your study essentials before you leave so you do not forget anything. This may include your textbook, notes, computer, snacks, post-its, highlighters and anything else you may need. Make sure not to bring anything that may distract you. Unless you need it to study, try turning off your phone for long periods at a time while you study. This will allow you to be focused for longer without stopping, and reduces the chances of you getting distracted. With such a limited amount of time, it is probably best to study alone. However, it is sometimes helpful to work with a small group in order to compare notes and talk through concepts together.  If you decide a study group will help you, make sure to choose classmates who are at least as smart as you so they don't slow you down.  Be careful of studying with friends. It is easy to get distracted if you are only studying with good friends. Make sure your study group has some members that you only know from class.

Article in English: Study the different traits that are usually attributed to each sign. An easy way to remember these traits is to think about people that you know in each sign. Think about how they do or don't fit into the categorization of their sign. The more you compare people you know to the descriptions of their signs, the easier it will be to keep an idea in mind about what each sign is like. These individuals often have a very forceful confrontational voice. They are stubborn, egoistical, who show-off. They are fiercely independent, extremely competitive, freedom-loving, adventurous, enthusiastic, bold, athletic, impulsive, reckless, dynamic, powerful, overly-confident, loud, blunt, hasty, hard-headed, stubborn, strong-willed, hot-tempered, rude, selfish, impulsive, enterprising, risk-takers, and challengers. Aries tend to act first and think later. People born under this sign love nice things; they can come across as extremely materialistic, or as people who enjoy the finer things in life. They are sometimes slow to act, great at managing money, lovers of the outdoors (and of doing outdoor activities such as farming or gardening), very practical and down to earth. Taurus people typically dislike change. Geminis are usually good arguers, witty, adaptive, flirtatious, playful (but may come across as offensive), tricksters, inconsistent, easy to please, intellectual, chatty, quick-witted, social butterflies, knowledge-seeking, and changeable. They typically like reading, writing, and mental games, and are great at multitasking. They are very sensitive (with unpredictable moods), romantic, nice, sweet, caring and nurturing, motherly, and homey. Cancer individuals like home-cooked meals and quality family time; they are socially conservative, and withdraw from the scene when hurt or offended. Leos are loving and sensitive leaders. Leos love children, enjoy luxury and jewelry, and have a bigger-than-life dramatic attitude. Leos are show-offs, egoistical, dominant, powerful, determined, charismatic, very demanding, athletic,...

Article in English: Studying mystical writings and tomes is an essential way to learn about the lives of the mystics. Each tradition will have a wide variety of different mystics and different dogmas, and it's important to get some sense of the scope of different writings. Everything starts to seem interconnected and becomes more alike than different:  Thomas Merton's No Man is an Island  St. Augustine's Confessions of St. Augustine  The Cloud of Unknowing, written anonymously Julian of Norwich's Revelation of Divine Love  DT Suzuki's An Introduction to Zen Buddhism  The Nasruddin Stories from the Sufic tradition Mystical practice is a combination of self-imposed meditation and contemplation and the specific guidelines of your religion or other practice. Each religious life will be different, because each religious person is different. Deciding what's most important to you and your practice is a decision that only one person can make. You. For some mystical Christians, living life as close to the way Christ lived is the most important aspect of practicing. For others, spreading the gospel is essential. Both ways of thinking can lead to mysticism and deep appreciations of the spiritual world. Mystics aren't part-time. Whatever your deep connection to religion and the big questions, it needs to be your biggest priority in life. Not your job, your family, or your hobbies. Your connection with the cosmos needs to be your biggest commitment. For many people, being a mystic is an entirely solitary life. Most mystics are monastic for a reason. If you want to be a mystic, it's hard to go out on Saturday night and have fun. Are you up to the challenge to commit? Part of Zen meditation revolves around letting go of these big concerns and embracing the void. For the mystic, that void should be your living room. Trusting in your instincts and diving into the biggest questions has a tendency to lead to even more questions than answers. It could either be frustrating or liberating to realize that you might never know what will happen after...

Article in English: Studying with friends can make study time more fun and engaging, as long as you stay mostly on topic. Have your friends quiz you by asking you what world capital belongs with what country.  Keep your group small. Too many people can be distracting. Don't have more than 4 or 5 people in your study group.  Don't forget to return the favor and quiz your friends, too. It will also help reinforce the information for you, too, as you're still going over the material. Put the capital on one side and the country on the other side. Go through the stack, trying to remember the other side without looking. Try to come up with the answer before you peek. Write the name of a capital on one card and the name of the country on another. Repeat until you have all the capitals and countries on individual cards. Lay them face down on a table. Turn one over, and turn another one over. Only keep the set if the country and capital match up. You can play by yourself or against another person. World news often talks about the capitals of other countries. You'll be more informed overall, but you'll also start picking up on facts about the capitals. You'll associate the capitals with real people and real events, which will help you remember them. However, if you're under 18, make sure to ask your parents if it's okay for you to watch, as news channels can be graphic. Geography board games or online games can reinforce what you've learned. In addition, they make learning more fun, so you won't get as bored as easily.  One place to quiz yourself on geography is Free Rice. Just be sure to select "World Capitals," which you'll find under "Geography" on the "Subjects" page.  In addition to helping you learn the game, Free Rice also donates rice to people who are hungry. If you don't review what you've learned, you'll gradually lose it. If you don't want to forget your world capitals, continue to go over the material so it sticks with you.

Article in English: Stuff sacks are a popular gear item used to help keep backpacks organized. They're lightweight but durable sacks that come in really handy for keeping your food items separate from the rest of your pack. Many people fill one stuff sack with food they're not going to eat on the trail, and another one with toiletries. You could use stuff sacks to pack nearly anything, but seasoned hikers don't bother putting clothing into stuff sacks, since packing softer, flexible items around the heavier, more awkward items is a more efficient use of space. Bear canisters are smell-tight containers used to store food, deodorant, sunscreen, and other items that attract bears. They're mandatory to use in certain areas with high concentrations of bears. If you're hiking in a place that requires the use of bear canisters, it's important to pack your canister efficiently so it doesn't become an awkwardly-weighted item in your pack.  Don't use any items like clothes to fill the voids in a bear canister. You might use for example rain clothes or pack cover to fill up the space, but not anything that you are going to wear in camp. You do not want any bear attracting smells in your tent, like clothes that have been soaking in food scent an entire day. The canister is likely to be heavy, so pack it as a heavy item between your shoulder blades and right next to your spine. Pack a flexible item like a tarp or extra clothing around the canister so it doesn't move while you walk. This is a convenient and lightweight item that could save your backpack from getting soaked by rain or snow. It's a cover you attach over your backpack in inclement weather. When it's not raining or snowing, the packover is small and light enough to stuff into the top of your pack so you can easily access it when you need it.

Article in English: Styes are generally caused by chance but can occasionally be caused by exposure of the eye to foreign substances (such as dust or makeup). The stye itself is a small bacterial infection. If you develop a stye, the first thing you should do is clean the area.  Wash your hands thoroughly, then use a cotton ball or clean hands to gently cleanse the stye with warm water. You can also use a special eyelid scrub or diluted tear-free "baby" shampoo. Make certain that both your hands and the cotton balls you use to wash the stye are clean. Otherwise, you may transmit more debris or germs to the area. Styes are most commonly caused by staphylococcal bacteria that gets in a hair follicle or a gland in the corner of the eye, often through touching the eye with dirty hands. Other bacteria, however, can also cause styes. The painful swelling caused by a stye is best treated with warm compresses. Make a warm compress with a clean towel or other fabric dipped in warm water. Place the compress over your eye and let it rest there for five to ten minutes.  After the compress cools, re-soak it with warm water and repeat for another five to ten minutes. Apply warm compresses three or four times a day. Be consistent about this treatment until the stye is gone.  Warm (but not hot) and damp tea bags can also be used effectively as compresses. (Some people recommend chamomile tea bags, which may have soothing properties). The warmth of the compress may cause the stye to shrink or release pus. If this occurs, gently rinse away the drainage. Do not press or squeeze the stye; just apply firm but gentle pressure. Once the pus emerges from the stye, the symptoms should abate fairly quickly. It can be tempting to try to force any pus or debris out of the stye, but resist! Squeezing or attempting to pop a stye can make the situation much worse, spreading or deepening the infection, and may even cause scarring. Buy an over-the-counter antibacterial cream made for treating styes, available at any drug store. If you are unsure about which...

Article in English: Submerge the gourds in a bucket of warm, soapy water. This helps to loosen the skin and mold that may have developed on the outer surface. You can add bleach to the water to give the gourds a uniform color but this is not necessary. During the drying process, the outer skin may become wrinkled or stained. In general, you will want to scrape it off. You can also use steel wool or sandpaper to remove the outer layer of skin. However, using either of these tools will result in scratch marks. Only use sandpaper or steel wool if you plan on  painting the gourd. While this is not necessary, it will give the surface of your gourd a uniform texture. You can also sand the inside of the gourd so that it is smooth.

Article in English: Substances like coffee and liquor stay in our bodies for a long time-- anywhere from 3-8 hours. This can profoundly affect your ability to fall asleep and to enter deep sleep, which will make you groggy in the morning.   Avoid caffeine in the afternoons and evenings to make sure it is out of your system when you go to sleep. Drink alcohol in moderation and with plenty of water, as getting out of bed is doubly hard when you have a hangover. Adults need 7-8 hours of sleep every night, children 8-9 hours, and toddlers and infants much more. If you are not getting enough sleep the night before then you will always feel tired when you try to wake up. Refer to the graph, but know that not everyone is the same...  If you can’t get all the sleep you need at night, try resting in the afternoon to make up some of the lost time. Waking up in the middle of your REM cycle will leave you exhausted, and it is tough to get yourself out of bed when you were just in a deep sleep. Luckily, your body naturally begins to wake up several hours before you actually get out of bed, and if you can sync this process up with your alarm clock you will find getting out of bed much easier. To learn your sleep pattern:  Set a time to go to sleep every night for two weeks. Use a time, like vacation, when you do not need to get up at a specific time in the morning. Go to sleep at the same time every single night, including weekends. Make a note of the moment you wake up, even if it is before your alarm goes off. Continue going to bed at the exact same time until you begin waking up at a consistent time. Count the hours between this time and your bedtime, and you'll know how long your body's natural sleep cycle is. Start timing your alarm so you wake up when your body wants to. While our sleep patterns are largely genetic, we can do several small things to make our body adapt to a new sleep pattern. The number one trigger for sleep is light. As light fades at night, our body produces melatonin, which naturally makes us sleepy. And when we see...

Article in English: Substitute this ingredient with oil, such as from an oil mister. Non-stick cooking sprays contain additives that build up on nonstick cookware, resulting in food that cooks unevenly. The buildup from nonstick spray won’t burn off during the cooking process, and is difficult to remove. Use cooking utensils that won’t damage your nonstick pan. Don’t use knives, metal cooking utensils, or steel wool on your pan. Never cut your food while it’s still in the pan, or blend it with a metal whisk. For example, use materials that won’t scratch your pan, such as plastic, nylon, silicone or wood.

Article in English: Subtitles are translations, and as anyone who has ever used Google Translate can tell you, translations are as much an art form as a science. If you're subtitling the scene itself, there are several considerations you need to come up with for each line:  What is the goal of the dialog? Regardless of the words they use, what feeling is the character trying to get across? This is your guiding principle when translating. How can you fit the subtitled words within the time the character is speaking? Some writers will display a few lines of dialogue at once, starting a little early and ending late to give viewers a chance to read everything. How do you handle slang and figures of speech? They often do not translate well, so you'll have to substitute slang or figurative language from your native language. This, however, requires you to look up the meaning of foreign expressions and slang. Sites like DotSub, Amara, and Universal Subtitler let you see the movie while you write out the subtitles, eventually spitting out an .SRT file that fits with your movie. While all subtitling sites work differently, they all follow a similar format:  Choose when the title starts. Write the title out. Choose when the title disappears. Repeat across the movie, marking "Complete" when finished. Download the .SRT file and place it in the same folder as your movie. You can write out subtitles by hand if you want though the process is greatly expedited by a program. To do so, open up a Text editor like Window's Notepad or Apple's TextEdit (both free and pre-installed), and make sure you know the proper format for a subtitle. Before beginning, click "Save As" and title it after "YourMovie.SRT." Then set the encoding to "ANSI" for English subtitles and "UTF-8" for Non-English. Then write out your titles. Each of the following parts goes on its own line, so hit "enter" after each one:   The number of a subtitle. 1 would be the first title, 2 the second, etc.  The duration of the subtitle. This is written in the format...

Article in English: Subtly let him know that you're not seeing anybody at the moment, but that you're open to the possibility. The one thing stronger than a guy's desire to ask a girl out is his fear of rejection. If you can relieve that fear then there will be nothing standing in his way. So make it clear that you'd say yes to him if he asked. Everyone knows that guys can be a little slow at reading the signs. So even if you feel like you've been sending out all the right signals, it might be time to up the ante a little. Smile at him, laugh at his jokes, touch his arm when you talk to him, sit close to him when possible - he should soon realize that he's the only one receiving such special attention.  Don't underestimate the power of body language! When you're around him, keep your body language open. Crossing your arms makes you seem unapproachable and closed off. If you don't know what to do with your hands, order a drink, or rest them on your lap. Try not to fidget. Make lots of eye contact. If you're looking anywhere but at him while he's talking to you, you'll seem disinterested. Looking him straight in the eye and you'll appear confident and open. If you have plans to hang out with friends or to go to a party over the weekend, invite him to come along. With any luck, the two of you will spend the whole time together. It's not exactly a date, but it'll give you the opportunity to get to know one another a little better in a no-pressure environment. A trustworthy friend can be used to your advantage here. She can do some undercover digging and make comments or ask questions that you would feel uncomfortable with.  Ask her to talk to his friends and playfully inquire about when he's going to ask you on a date. Get her to comment on what a good couple the two of you would make, in front of a group of people. It might be a little embarrassing at the time, but it will plant the idea in his brain. Just make sure that you can count on her to be discreet. Otherwise, using a friend to do your dirty work can seem immature. Find out...

Article in English: Subtly let your crush know that you are interested in them simply by paying attention when they speak. You don’t have to hang attentively on every word, but make it clear that you care about what they are saying by nodding, smiling, and responding when appropriate.   Ask questions about what they say.  If your crush is telling you that he’s sad about his grandma dying, ask about what he liked to do with his grandma. If your crush is excited about her basketball game tonight, ask what position she plays. You’ll be especially glad that you listened carefully the next time you see your crush, because you’ll have a basis for conversation already. You may have even developed an inside joke with them, which can be great for creating lasting relationships. This can help you learn more about your crush to help you determine whether you are truly compatible or not.  It can also lead to increased interactions with your crush, which will make it more likely that they will notice you.  Of course, there’s always the added bonus of making new friends too, even if your crush never notices you. If you are particularly nervous around your crush, it might be hard to make conversation. Try to think of conversation topics before you see them.  Think about what you have in common, who your common friends are, what upcoming events you might both be excited about (or dreading), and see if you can come up with a few different topics in your head. Joking around is a great way to interact with your crush, but be careful not to make jokes at the expense of others. You don’t want to seem like a bully or a mean person just to get someone’s attention. You might want to start by asking them to be part of a group you’re organizing. This can be a group doing a school project or a group getting together to go to the movies.  Just make it clear that you’re interested in having them around. After you’ve done some group activities together and feel comfortable, then ask them to do something with you one-on-one. Oddly enough, one study with over...

Article in English: Subway offers five staple selections of bread (as well as some limited-time only choices). In order to create your own Subway sandwich making station, you’ll need to purchase some great. The five main breads offer at Subway include:   9-grain wheat 9-grain honey oat Italian Italian herbs and cheese Flatbread Cheese is arguably one of the best parts of any sandwich. Don’t skimp on your selection while making your subs. Of course, if you come across a cheese you want to have more than the ones offered at Subway, get it! Subway’s selection varies from store to store, but depending on where you are, you might come across:   American Monterey cheddar. Feta Mozzarella Natural Cheddar Natural Pepper Jack Natural Provolone Natural Swiss. Of course, the main staple of a sub (apart from the vegetarians varieties) is the meat. There are a lot of different kinds of cold cuts (and some hot ones) to choose from. Aside from the hot selections that include  meatballs, steak,  chicken teriyaki, and buffalo chicken, the cold cuts you should lay out for your own subs include:   Turkey Black Forest ham  Salami Roast beef Bologna Pepperoni  Tuna salad Bacon Of course, no sandwich would be as interesting if it didn’t have some delicious toppings. Fresh vegetables are a must so head to your local farmers market to get your supplies for your sandwiches. Items you should look for include:   Cucumbers Lettuce Tomatoes Red onions Green Bell Peppers Spinach Banana Peppers Jalapenos Olives Pickles To complete your awesome Subway sandwich, you’ll need some really great sauces. Stick to just one, or try a combination of many--the choice is up to you. Don’t forget salt and pepper along with the sauce of your choice.

Article in English: Success is contagious. Make friends with people you admire. Join teams with people who have achieved things you want to achieve. If you meet someone whose success you admire, or are jealous of, swallow your jealousy and welcome their company. It may be tempting to hang out with people who make you look good, but you'll lose sight of your goals if the bar is set low everywhere you look. Besides, you'll enjoy your friendship more with people you truly admire. Compete with yourself as well as with others. When you have achieved a goal, set your next goal higher. For instance, if you got all A's and B's one semester, set the goal to get all A's the semester that follows. Take time to celebrate each goal as you achieve it, but avoid complacency. If you notice yourself feeling jealous or unsuccessful, that's a sign that you're ready to set a new goal. Identify the cause of the negative feeling, and set a goal that will catapult you beyond it. For instance, if you are jealous of your neighbor's new car, set goals for earning or saving more money so that you can buy a car you like. You may end up changing your mind about the car once you have achieved your goal. The satisfaction you get from setting a goal and achieving it will be greater than any satisfaction you can get from showing up someone else.

Article in English: Successful fashion designers have a wide array of skills, including drawing, an eye for color and texture, an ability to visualize concepts in three dimensions, and the mechanical skills involved in sewing and cutting all types of fabrics.  Get excellent sewing tuition if you haven't already learned this skill well. Being able to sew difficult fabric under challenging situations will stand you in excellent stead throughout your career but you need to work at it - it's a skill that doesn't come easily to many people. Understand how fabrics move, drape, breathe, react when worn, etc. Your in-depth knowledge of fabric is absolutely essential to using it properly when designing. Also know where to source materials from. Learn from existing designers, not just who they are, but their backgrounds, their signature style, the learning that they undertook, where they studied. Knowing this will help you to be a better designer yourself, as you can borrow and build on their ideas. Learn how to create storyboards and product ranges. Be good at researching trends and finding inspiration from social media, comparative shopping and trade shows. Start developing these skills at a young age. Be prepared to devote hours of time to perfecting your craft. A little bit everyday will make you gain a deep understanding of fashion on the long run if you are planning a career. Trying to do all at once might get you discouraged. If you can, it makes good sense to get a diploma or degree in fashion design or a related program. You'll learn a great deal, make excellent early contacts and have ample opportunity to show off your skills in a less judgmental environment (although still be prepared to be critiqued!) Do one (or both) of the following:  Get a degree in fashion design. Most programs are three or four years long. FIDM and Parsons are two of the most popular design schools in the United States. You will study drawing, color and composition, pattern-making, and draping. In addition to learning practical skills like these, you will...

Article in English: Successful people aren't born; they are made through accumulated life experiences and that includes risk as well as failure. While acting impulsively is never recommended, taking calculated risks can pay off in the long-run.  Even if you don't succeed at everything you undertake, studying failure and learning from it is a key feature of all successful people. Steve Jobs was fired from Apple in 1985 in large part because he was difficult to work with. However, he returned 12 years later and turned the then-failing company into a success because he had become a better leader. , not reactive. Research has linked personal success with proactivity.  Therefore, instead of waiting for opportunity to find you, brainstorm ways to improve your life and career and act sooner rather than later.Below are some tactics for becoming more proactive: Useful brainstorming techniques include freewriting, making lists, and mapping.  Anticipate what obstacles you will face and how to tackle them. Related to skills like visualizing is is prediction.  When we realistically project a path to success, necessarily, we also project the pitfalls along that path. Prevent avoidable obstacles.While not all obstacles are avoidable, many can be circumvented by preparation, funding, and training in advance. Appreciate timing. Research shows that, just important as taking action, is learning when.  Act too soon on something you are unfamiliar you, you may look unprepared or fool-hardy.  Act too late and you may not get the opportunity to use your skills and demonstrate leadership. Success doesn't happen in a vacuum.  Every successful person has a long list of friends, teachers, mentors, co-workers, etc. who assisted them along the way.   Look to people you already have in your life who are talented, positive, supportive, motivated, and knowledgeable. Spend time learning from them and collaborating when possible. Internships, seminars, and job-shadowing are other great ways to interact with successful people and to learn from them. Maybe your...

Article in English: Successful relationships should have multiple common interests between partners.  You may not have everything in common, but it’s difficult to grow a relationship when interests are dissimilar.  If you can't find many common interests, you may be more eager to be in a relationship than you are excited about the new partner.  If the relationship itself is the connection, that's a rebound sign. If one of your common interest check-marks isn't attraction, be cautious.  Rebound relationships often stem from a fear of being alone, rather than actual attraction.  If you’re not really into the other person, the relationship may just be a comforting technique. Casual relationships are missing the true connection and depth of a meaningful relationship.  If you feel like you are genuinely using the new partner instead of actually forming a relationship, it’s very probable you don’t want to risk new heartbreak, and the relationship is casual. Oftentimes, a rebound relationship is used as a bridge to get over emotional issues, and to make it from one serious relationship to another. If you and your partner are in a routine like a couple that has been together for years, you may be attempting to replace the normalcy of your previous relationship.  You want to do some of the common things you and your previous partner did instead of the normal dating process.  A few potential activities of established relationships are as follows:  Binge-watching a series on Netflix Talking about the ideal home together Discussing future, mutual finances

Article in English: Succulents are available in varieties that can grow in agricultural zones as cold as Zone 4 and as hot as Zone 9. If you live anywhere between Zones 4 and 7, go for the sempervivum or similar variety. For Zones 8 and 9, opt for more heat- and drought-tolerant varieties. Before you make the final purchase, read the label on the plant or speak to an expert at your local nursery. If you're not certain which zone you live in, visit the website for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) or non-U.S. equivalent for assistance. Succulents need soil with good drainage. Avoid low spots in the garden where water can pool. If your garden soil stays soggy for a long period of time, read up on how to improve the drainage. You'll have this advantage if you live in a dry climate. Native succulents have their own built-in defenses against pests in your area. They also invite local beneficial insects that could help in the growth and propagation of other plant varieties in your garden. Visit your state or provincial government website, university websites, or local botanical societies for assistance.

Article in English: Suck in a mouthful of air, close your mouth, and swallow. This is one of the only methods successfully used by a research team, who believe that hiccups might be a reaction to dislodge large pieces of food from the esophagus.  You could simulate this by chewing and swallowing a moderately large mouthful of bread. Trying this with other foods, especially large amounts, is not recommended, due to the risk of choking. Trying this too many times is likely to lead to an unpleasant, bloated sensation. . Some people who burp on command repeatedly will induce a hiccuping fit.The same effect can be achieved by sucking in air rapidly to the back of your throat. Avoid overstimulating your glottis, or the flap at the back of your throat, by closing and reopening it rapidly. This is the same motion that occurs when you hiccup, so stimulating it intentionally may trigger hiccups. Your glottis is active when you say "uh oh." Be aware of straining it from burping or screaming as a form of singing. Understanding where your glottis is and when it is stimulated will reduce your chances of straining it. Sudden temperature changes may stimulate certain nerves that can trigger a hiccuping session. It is the same technique mentioned earlier about eating or drinking foods that contrast in temperature. Temperature change can also cause hives or swollen skin. Nervousness and excitement are likely emotions that will trigger hiccups. This is probably the least reliable method since most people hiccup only occasionally despite daily mood shifts. Still, if there is a movie, video game, sport, or other activity that makes you excited, scared, or nervous, be aware that it may induce the hiccups.

Article in English: Sudden weight gain or weight loss could be a sign of any number of medical issues, but even if depression is not the cause, you should still consult a doctor. If you have noticed that your appetite has increased or decreased significantly, then be sure to talk to your doctor about this as well. This may be a symptom of depression, or it could indicate another underlying problem. You may also consider any risky behaviors that you have adopted as a symptom. This is especially true for men with depression. If you have recently started engaging in drug and/or alcohol use, unsafe sex, reckless driving, or dangerous sports, then this may indicate depression. Frequent crying paired with other symptoms could indicate depression, especially if you aren't sure why you're crying. Consider how often you typically cry and what makes you cry.  For example, if you find yourself crying for no reason or over something trivial, such as spilling a cup of water or missing your bus, then this is a good indication that you may be depressed. Be sure to share this symptom with your doctor. Tearfulness, or frequent crying, is a common symptom of depression in teens. If you have frequent unexplained headaches or other pains, this is another good reason to consult a doctor. A medical condition may be to blame or the aches and pains may be due to depression.  Physical pain is one of the more common and often overlooked signs of depression in men. If you are a man experiencing backaches, headaches, stomach problems, sexual dysfunction, or any other physical symptoms, be sure to tell your doctor.  Elderly people often complain about physical problems over mental or emotional ones, and so depression may hide for a long time. Be aware of any physical changes, deaths of friends, and losses of independence that could trigger depression. You may also notice things like having trouble sleeping, or sleeping too much.

Article in English: Sufferers of DID have several distinct states of consciousness, known as alters. These states are aspects of themselves which are always present, but which manifest individually and during which the sufferer might not have any memory recall. The different alters may create disarray in your sense of self. You may be confused and you may feel like you don't know what you are doing or what may happen next. That could be very hazardous for yourself and others around you.   Look for "switches" in personality. A "switch" is the term used for changing between alters. A person with DID will undergo switches on a relatively regular or consistent basis. The switch between personality states will take anywhere from a few seconds to several hours, and the time spent in an alternate state of consciousness will vary from person to person. Outsiders can sometimes determine when a switch has occurred based on the presence of: A change in the sound/timbre of voice. Rapid blinking, as if adjusting to light. A general change in demeanor or physical state. Changes in facial features or expression. Change in train of thought or conversation, without any warning or reason.   In children, having imaginary playmates or other fantasy play is not indicative of having DID. Individuals who suffer from DID often experience drastic changes in affect (observable emotion), behavior, consciousness, memory, perception, cognition (thoughts), and sensory-motor functioning. Individuals with DID may sometimes display dramatic changes in the topic of conversation or line of thought. Or they may also show a generalized inability to concentrate for long periods of time going "in and out" of conversation. Individuals with DID experience significant memory issues, including difficulty recalling everyday events, important personal information, or traumatic events. The types of memory issues associated with DID are not consistent with normal, everyday forgetfulness. Losing your keys or forgetting where you parked your car are not extreme enough. People...

Article in English: Sugar cookie cutout dough works best for cookies on a stick because it is stiff enough to hold and the favor is mild, so you can decorate it with just about any kind of frosting or candies that you want. You can make a basic sugar cookie cutout dough from scratch, buy a sugar cookie cutout dough mix, or buy some premade sugar cookie cutout dough in the refrigerated section of the grocery store.  Prepare the dough according to the recipe or package instructions before you get started. It is best to use cold dough because it will hold its shape better when you cut it out. Make sure that you refrigerate your dough for at least an hour before you use it. You will probably need to preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  This is a common temperature for many cookie recipes. However, it is important to check the cookie recipe or cookie dough package before you set the temperature on your oven. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or grease it with non-stick cooking spray. This will help to prevent the cookies from sticking to the tray. Arrange the cookies so that they are about an inch or two apart. Follow your recipe’s instructions for baking the cookies. A common baking time for cookies is about 10 minutes. However, your recipe may call for a longer baking time. Check the recipe or cookie dough package to be sure.  Set a time so that you will know when to take the cookies out of the oven. Don’t forget to use oven mitts when you place the cookies in the oven and when you remove the tray from the oven.

Article in English: Sugar in candy will make you crash, whereas protein can sustain you for a longer period of time. Peanut butter and beef jerky are full of protein to keep you awake.  Avoid heavy meals like pasta and fried chicken, because they will make you sleepy. Get food that is easy to prepare. Also make sure you have coffee ready for brewing. If you don't drink coffee, tea is a healthier option, because it also has antioxidants. However, be wary of caffeine levels. Teens 12 to 18 years of age should not consume more than 100 milligrams (0.10 g) of caffeine per day.  Take B vitamins with a healthy meal, so your body absorbs them and you experience their full benefits. People fall asleep when the temperature is 65 °F (18 °C). If you can, keep the room around 75 °F (24 °C) to keep you and your friends more alert. You can also layer on clothes if your thermostat isn’t working well.  If you are on the computer, turn the lighting to dark as to not to strain your eyes, or to make you sleepy. Don't wear clothing that relaxes you. It could help you relax and eventually fall asleep. If your parents won’t let you walk around the neighborhood at night, maybe you can walk around the premises of your home. It should be easy to take regular breaks if you’re drinking lots of water, because you’ll have to use the bathroom often. Having a ghost hunt in your backyard or basement at night will get your adrenaline flowing. Bring flashlights and cameras to look for paranormal activity and spook yourselves. Cold water shocks your system and wakes you up. Splash cold water on your face three times in the bathroom.  Encourage everyone to do this at your all-nighter, but don’t do it to them, because they might get annoyed. Drinking ice cold water may also keep you awake and hydrated.

Article in English: Sugar maples, bigleaf maples, boxelder maples, Japanese maples, Norway maples, and some red maples lie dormant over the winter, then germinate as soon as temperatures warm. The cold stratification approach produces very high germination rates in these species.  All of these species drop their seeds in autumn or early winter. If your red maple trees drop their seeds in spring or early summer, try germinating them in the soil instead. If you're going to plant the seeds outdoors, start this method 90–120 days before the last winter frost. Place a handful of peat moss, vermiculite, or germination paper in a small, plastic, zip-locked bag. For best results, use sterile material and handle it with disposable gloves to avoid introducing fungus.  Tiny "snack sized" bags work best. Larger bags trap more air with the seeds, which can lead to fungal problems.  Red maple seeds are sensitive to acidity. For this species, choose vermiculite (a neutral or basic substance) rather than peat moss (acidic). Add a couple drops of water to the growing material to dampen the material slightly. If you see standing water, or if you can squeeze out water from the material, it is too wet. Fungicide can prevent mold from destroying your seeds, but it is not always necessary, and may damage the plant if overused. Add only in tiny quantities, following manufacturer's instructions. Some growers rinse the seeds in very diluted bleach solutions instead. Place your seeds in the bag. Starting from the base, roll the bag to expel most of the air. Zip it closed. Now it's time to "stratify" the seeds, or expose them to temperatures that trigger germination. For most species, the ideal temperature is usually around 1–5ºC (33.8–41ºF). The crisper drawer of a refrigerator is usually about this temperature.  Ideally, use a thermometer to confirm the correct temperature. Some seeds may fail to germinate if the temperature is just a couple degrees off. If possible, keep boxelder and Norway maple seeds at exactly 5ºC (41ºF), and red maple seeds at...

Article in English: Sugar will dissolve in room temperature water, if you shake it hard enough. Because there's no heat to sterilize the syrup, this version will only last about two weeks. As far as taste goes, bartenders have lined up on both sides of the hot-cold debate. Give it a whirl and decide for yourself:   Combine equal parts sugar and water in a sealed container. (Using superfine sugar may shorten the shaking time.)  Shake for three minutes, then let rest for one minute. Shake for another 30 seconds, or until all sugar is dissolved. Simmer the syrup with herbs or spices for about 30–45 minutes to extract flavors. Try cinnamon and nutmeg syrup for winter holiday desserts, or basil syrup for sophisticated cocktails.  If using herbs, remove them as soon as they turn brown. Strain out leaves once the syrup is done. The addition of other ingredients may shorten the shelf life. Stir a spoonful of vodka into the cooled syrup to prevent mold. Adding gum arabic to the syrup creates a silky texture, and lowers the chance of crystallization. This old-fashioned recipe is making a small comeback due to the appealing texture it lends to cocktails:  Bring water nearly to a boil. Slowly mix in an equal amount gum arabic, by weight. Stir until gluey and mostly combined. Let sit for two to three hours, off the heat. Stir again to work in lumps. Start making sugar syrup, as above. Use twice as much water as you did for the gum arabic. Once sugar is dissolved, reduce to a simmer. Stir in gum arabic mixture slowly, while stirring. Let cool, then skim off and discard scum from the top of the syrup. Add this dark caramel flavor to whiskey cocktails or a bittersweet chocolate cake. Wear gloves and stand back from the pan, as molten sugar can cause severe burns. Try it out as follows:  Heat the sugar (alone) in a stainless steel saucepan, stirring once every 30 seconds. For caramel syrup: Add water as soon as the sugar melts. This will cause spattering and steaming, so stand back as you pour. Stir rapidly and constantly until syrup forms. For...

Article in English: Sugar-free gum helps to stimulate saliva production. This will help stop your mouth from drying out. A dry mouth often leads to bad breath because bacteria responsible for the foul odor aren’t washed away. Gum can also help remove food particles from the crevasses of your teeth. Sugar-free gum isn’t a substitute for proper oral hygiene. Don’t stop brushing your teeth and flossing. It is possible to get natural gums made from peppermint and other herbs, which will help mask the smell of bad breath in addition to removing matter from your teeth. These herbs won’t clean your teeth, but they will counter your bad breath with a strong scent. This works in the short term, but shouldn’t be viewed as a long-term solution. You’ll also want to beware of debris from these herbs in your teeth. You don’t want to trade bad breath for large chunks of parsley in your teeth. Nuts have a powerful aroma and the abrasive texture of them will help remove any residual food particles left on your teeth, tongue or gums. Dill and fennel seeds mask odors magnificently. Anise is a licorice-flavored seed that actually has antiseptic properties.

Article in English: Sugars create food for bacteria, causing plaque, which then causes tooth decay. Processed starches work in the same way as sugars. Avoid all processed and pre-packaged foods, including snacks, cakes, breads, chips, cookies, and crackers. These foods contain a lot of added sugar. Always look at the label, even if you think something is healthy. If sugar, cane syrup, high fructose corn syrup, or another artificial sweetener is listed in the top five ingredients, do not eat or drink it.  Sugar is a major component in sodas and other sweetened drinks as well, so avoid those when you can. Plus, the extra, artificial ingredients in sodas break down tooth enamel.  If you need a sweet fix, try honey, which is antibacterial, and the natural, calorie free sweetener stevia, which is an herb 200 times sweeter than sugar. Citrus fruits have a high acid content, which leads to tooth decay. Because of this factor, you should moderate the amount of citrus fruits you eat, especially lemons, which have an extremely high acid content. If you do eat them, rinse your mouth out with water to help decrease the amount of acid that is left to sit on your teeth. Although fruit has natural sugars in it, the sugar is fructose, which is not as popular with bacteria. This means you can enjoy apples, pears, peaches, or any other non-citrus fruit without harming your teeth. One way to help prevent tooth decay is with saliva production. To help increase your saliva production, chew every bite completely because chewing stimulates the production of saliva. Sour foods also tend to increase saliva production, but sour foods are also acidic, so avoid them if you can. One way to remineralize your teeth is to put more minerals back into your body. To help with that, pick a daily multivitamin that has minerals in it, especially calcium and magnesium.  Most people need at least 1,000 mg of calcium. Men older than 71 and women older than 51 should get 1,200 mg every day, so look for this amount if you fall within those age ranges. Also make sure the...
