Article in English: Have pictures of the two of you in your room?  Throw them out or put them away.  Have an old sweater of theirs that you keep in your closet?  Donate it to charity. These little reminders can make it hard to get over someone, so box them up or toss them. You might be thinking of the laughter and fun that you shared with the one you love; instead, remember the not-so-good times.  There’s a reason you don’t want to love this person anymore.  Focus on what led you to this decision. Think about the time they were rude to your mother, made you cry on your birthday, or how selfish they were in general. daily.  It's likely that thoughts of the one you love are in your mind all the time.  Meditation is a tool that you can use to clear your mind and bring peace to your life.  Pick a time each day to sit down in a quiet space for at least ten minutes.  Focus only on your breathing during this time. If you're inexperienced with meditation, you can download apps like Headspace or Calm. Letting go of the love you have for someone is tough, but with a little help from your friends and family, you can do it.  Rather than isolating yourself, call up a friend to talk. You can talk through your feelings for the person you’re trying to fall out of love with or just catch up on other things in your lives. Try not to call them too often upset about the relationship ending, however.  No matter how good a friend they are, they won’t want to hear sad news all the time. If you've been trying to get over this person for months but can’t shake your feelings, consult with a therapist.  If you feel that you can’t get out of bed or that you aren’t enjoying things like you used to, you might be depressed.  Address it now so you can beat the blues.

Article in English: Have sex with your partner. Sex starts a prostaglandin release in the body that may result in cervical stimulation and dilation. Before having sex at this point in your pregnancy, consult with your physician. In most cases, sex at this stage of pregnancy is safe as long as your water has not broken. Although studies to support the connection between sex and cervical dilation are not entirely conclusive, many doctors continue to recommend this method to patients who are becoming impatient with their pregnant status. Nipple stimulation releases a hormone called oxytocin, which causes labor to begin. Rub your nipples or have your partner do so for you. This indicates that you are in labor, and it's time to talk with your doctor or midwife. As the baby's head begins to press down on the opening of the uterus, the cervix will start to thin out and open. Your doctor can do a simple examination to determine whether dilation and effacement of the cervix have begun, indicating you may be in the very early stages of childbirth.

Article in English: Have smooth hair for this hairstyle, so brush it out before you start. You might also want to spray on a bit of dry shampoo to remove any excess oils from your hair while you brush it. Using your hands or a hair pick, separate the top section of your hair from the top of the front hairline. After all of the hair has been incorporated, finish the braid by continuing with a regular 3-strand braid all the way to the ends of the hair. Using a hair band, ribbon, clip or other styling choice, tie the hair off at the end, where the hairs become too short to fit in the plait.

Article in English: Have the cat neutered (male) or spayed (female) and at a minimum the cat should also have a rabies vaccination, treatment for any parasites (fleas or worms), vaccination for distemper, and a test for feline leukemia is also recommended. In many places, these services are offered for free as a general animal control policy. Female cats should be kept under observation in a cage with access to a litter box and food and water for 5 days after the spay operations. Males can be released the day after the operation. You can return it back to the habitat from which it came, or take it elsewhere. If releasing the cat to a new area a caregiver needs to be available to help the cat become acclimated to its new environment, which can take several weeks. In general, this policy is promoted by the ASPCA as a way of helping to control the cat population. If the cat seemed to be getting on well in the environment, release it and put food, water and shelter out regularly. Cats that are released to areas they are not familiar with are unlikely to survive unless they have a caretaker because they do not have a source of food, water, or shelter. Other cats already in the area may also attack them in territory disputes. If you live in an urban area, releasing a stray might be irresponsible. Cat rescue and no-kill shelters are a much better option. They will likely be happy to do the work of finding the cat a good home.  Feral cats are almost never adopted from shelters, as they have a high euthanasia rate of more than 90%.  If the cat is unadoptable it is better to release to the area where it was caught. Many rescues will pay the cost of a stray cat's veterinary bills for you. Save your receipts. If you can, offer to foster the cat until a home is found. Some organizations have more cats than they have foster homes. Just don't take offense if they prefer to foster with someone who has experience with cats. If you're sure the cat is not owned and you're uncomfortable or unable to take the cat elsewhere, find a suitable home for...

Article in English: Have the discussion in a neutral location, such as the living room or the kitchen. Avoid the bedroom or ones' office. Have the discussion in private without other people involved such as friends, children or parents. Avoid distractions like computers and phones, so you can each turn your attention towards the conversation at hand. Have the discussion at a time when both partners are rested and not distracted. Don’t worry about the adage, “Never go to bed angry.” It is usually better for both partners to be able to rest, calm down, and gain some perspective on the disagreement. Take breaks when necessary. Fighting, even when done fairly, is exhausting, and you will both have more productive conversations when you can clear your head. Even taking five minutes apart can make a difference. Don’t let little things build up into big things. If you are angry about something, tell your partner about it. Keep talking through problems. If you stop talking and give your partner the silent treatment, nothing is going to get resolved. Spend one-third of the time talking about your own perspective, one-third of the time listening closely and intimately (holding hands or otherwise touching each other) to your partner, and one-third mutually engaging in the dialogue at hand. Do not engage in name-calling. Even terms of endearment can be hurtful if they are used heatedly. Don’t tell your partner how they feel or how they should act or respond. Be respectful of their feelings and do not project your own feelings on them. Don’t use words like “always” and “never.” An example is, “You always do this,” or “You never do that.” These words are exaggerations and only serve to alienate your partner. Also, do not use the word “but,” as in, “I understand what you’re feeling, but…?” Do not bring up past grievances. Keep the conversation rooted in the immediate issue, so that you can address that first. Admitting when you are at fault can be a huge step in reaching compromise or resolution. Your honesty will help your partner trust you...

Summary in Russian:

Выберите подходящее место и время. Поддерживайте открытый разговор. Разделите разговор на три части. Будьте уважительны. Уберите некоторые слова из своего словаря для споров. Не отходите от темы. Возьмите на себя ответственность за свою часть разногласия. Оставайтесь спокойными и не переходите к физическому насилию или к угрозам. Простите своего партнера и себя. Подключите примирителя или обратитесь за профессиональной помощью.


Article in English: Have the discussion in private without unwanted or uninvolved participants. Avoid distractions like computers and phones, so you can each turn your attention towards the conversation at hand. Have the discussion at a mutually convenient time, so each participant can reflect on what they’d like to discuss prior to the meeting. Making a conscious decision among all involved participants to abide by a set of ground rules will ensure a productive conversation to resolve conflict or advocate for a certain perspective. Ground rules might include:  Maintain professionalism in manner and language. Stay on topic. Do not threaten other participants. Do not attack other participants on a personal level. Determine the points that you can agree on before launching into fights about what you don’t agree on. This will enable a clearer route to resolution because you recognize that there is something positive to build upon. While workplaces often do not appreciate the emotional investment associated with certain projects or other aspects of one’s professional life, it is important to acknowledge the existence of that emotion. Demonstrate respect to your colleagues (or manager or subordinate) that you understand they have an emotional investment in their work. This will also serve to move the conversation back to solid ground. Allow your opponent to express their perspective fully. Wait a few seconds before responding so that you fully understand what they’re saying. Unproductive, combative conversations in which the same points are argued over and over should be set aside for a day or two before resuming discussions. If it seems like the conversation is degenerating into unproductive, unfair fighting, it may be necessary to bring in a third party to keep the dialogue on track.

Article in English: Have the person hold certain objects while you tell them what color it is. It might be helpful to consider using objects that are almost always a certain color.  Have the person hold different pieces of wood, touch the bark of a tree, or touch dirt on the ground, and explain that these things are all brown. Say, "Brown feels like the earth, or the dead parts of things that grew out of the dirt from the earth.”  Give the person some leaves or blades of grass to hold, and explain that these are green. Green feels like the alive parts of plants, because when plants are green that means they are alive. You can even give some dead leaves and explain the difference between green and brown. Say, “The smoothness and suppleness of the leaves feels like green; green feels like life. But when the leaves are crispy like these other ones, they have turned brown and aren’t alive anymore.”  Have them put their hands in a bowl of cool water, and explain that water is blue. Tell them that small amounts of water are very light blue, almost clear with no color, and large amounts of water, like rivers or the ocean, are very deep blue. Say, “How you feel when you’re swimming in water, the cool wetness that feels relaxing, is how blue feels.”  Explain that heat, such as a fire or candle flame, or a hot stove burner, is red. Red can usually be thought of as heat, or even a burn. Tell the person, “If you have ever had a sun burn, your skin turns a red color. Or, if you have felt embarrassed and blushed, that heat on your cheeks looks red.”  Explain that concrete, such as on walls or sidewalks, is grey. Metal is also grey – tell them that grey often feels hard and is either cool or hot depending on if the sun is out. Say, “Grey is very hard and strong. It feels sturdy like a road under your feet, or the wall that you can lean against, but it isn’t alive and doesn’t grow or have feelings.” Smells and tastes can definitely be associated with certain colors.  Explain that spicy foods, and the peppers for spicy foods, are often red. ...

Article in English: Have the person sit down in a comfortable chair. Then, pour 4 to 5 gallons (15 to 19 L) of warm water in a bucket or bin. Slice a lime, lemon, or orange and place the slices in the water. Have the person to gently slide their feet into the water for a five minute soak.  Try rubbing the slices gently against their feet as they soak in the water. Put 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sea salt in the water for a more soothing effect. Add five to ten drops of essential oils like lavender, tea tree, or peppermint to the water for a pleasant smell. After the person has enjoyed a five minute soak, sit down in front of them on a stool or pillow. Place a clean towel on a pillow and place it in your lap. Lift each foot out of the water and use a clean towel to pat their feet dry. Take both of their feet out of the water or remove them one at a time. You can then focus on one foot at a time, allowing their other foot to continue soaking in the bath. Rub your hands together to warm up the lotion. Using an oil or lotion will help prevent any roughness or friction between your hands and the person’s feet. Get massage oil or lotion that is made of natural ingredients that will be soothing to the skin. Ingredients like cocoa butter, coconut oil, tea tree oil, and eucalyptus are all good for a massage. Create a setting that is relaxing for the person and puts them in the mindset for a massage. Light candles that smell good. Make sure the lighting is low. Put on calming background music. You can also make sure the person is situated in a comfortable position on a chair or bed with pillows and blankets so they are relaxed. Respond to their needs and desires. Ask them, “Does this feel good?” “Would you like me to go deeper?” or “How does that feel?” Listen to their response and focus on spots that feel good to them. Only massage deeper into an area after you get consent from the person. Make sure they are fine with you going deeper so they do not experience discomfort or pain during the massage. Get into the habit of giving the person a...

Article in English: Have you begun to clunk your head on that low doorway in your basement?  Have you finally conquered the “you must be this tall to ride” sign at the amusement park roller coaster?  Slowly but surely, you must be growing taller.  Short pant legs are an easy way to tell that you must be growing.  If the jeans you used to have to roll up now make you look like you’re ready for a flood, it may be time to take a height measurement (as well as buy some new jeans). Foot growth is another likely sign of height growth.  Not surprisingly, since they provide your base, just like expanding roots hold up a growing tree, there is a clear correlation between foot size and height in humans. If you have a brother or sister, you’ve probably stood back-to-back more than once to see who’s taller.  Picking something that isn’t also growing, however, is the best way to prove that you’re gaining height.  Practically any non-growing, stationary object — the bottom of a sign on the wall, the ceiling in your treehouse, your father standing back-to-back with you — can serve as a reference point.  The closer you get to being eye-level with the sign, scraping your head on the ceiling, or reaching your dad’s shoulder blades, the taller you are becoming. Traditionally, of course, the reference point for a kid is a wall, door jamb, or inside panel of a door where his or her height can be marked every so often. There is a method to getting an accurate measurement against a flat surface like a wall, but consistency is of first importance.  If you measured your height in bare feet before, make sure you take off your shoes each time you step up to track your progress.  Remove your shoes, and flatten your hair down if necessary. Stand up straight, back and heels flat against the wall.  Keep your feet flat on the ground and together (no tippy toes!). Look straight ahead.  Have someone use a pencil to mark the highest point of your head against the wall. Another less accurate method that works if you are alone is to hold a book on top of your head;...

Обращайте внимание на признаки роста. Найдите себе точку сравнения. Встаньте спиной к стене, чтобы измерить свой рост. Отметьте, как сильно вы выросли по сравнению с прошлым замером. Посетите врача. Постарайтесь предположить, каким будет ваш полный рост.


Article in English: Have you ever had the experience of getting into your car and automatically driving to work, when you meant to run to the store? Repetitive actions form pathways in your brain that make it much easier to go on autopilot, performing the same task without realizing what you're doing. Those actions can speed by. So, the trick is to learn to shake up your routines to make your brain experience new things as often as possible. try to take as many different routes and methods of getting to the different places you need to go. Ride a bike sometimes, drive other times, walk other times. Find the best route for each and the worst route for each, and take all of them in between. Some people like to work at the same desk every day, for the same number of hours, doing the same activities. Consistency does have the effect of making time fly by. But if you want to slow it down, force yourself to go elsewhere to do tasks that you need to do repeatedly.  Don't study in your room at your desk every night, but go in a circuit. Try different rooms in your hours, try the library, try studying outside under a tree in the park. Study everywhere. If you're a runner, don't run in the same place more than once or twice. Always explore new neighborhoods, new parks, new trails. Don't let routine become routine. In a recent study, a researcher asked riders on a scary thrill ride to describe how long the ride took, to plunge a couple hundred feet in a few seconds. Every participant overestimated the amount of time by roughly 30%. When we experience moments that make us nervous, moments that make us scared, time seems to drag on in a palpable way, even if it doesn't really.  Try easy jump-scares, or digging out the occasional horror movie if you want to give yourself some jumps without engaging in actually risky or frightening activities. Scare yourself from the safety of your living room. Don't engage in dangerous behaviors, but take calculated risks and put yourself out there. If it scares you to sing in front of people, take your...

Summary in Russian:

Измените свои привычные маршруты. Занимайтесь одним и тем же в различных местах. Делайте то, что вас пугает. Исследуйте окружающий мир. Занимайтесь меньшим количеством дел на протяжении дня. Не выполняйте несколько дел одновременно. Вспоминайте каждый прожитый день.


Article in English: Have you ever noticed that your sense of smell fades, or perhaps completely disappears, when you have a cold? Congestion in the membranes in the nose that contain the smell-sensitive nerve endings can dull your ability to smell, and avoiding foods that promote stuffiness (generally dairy products like milk, cheese, yogurt and ice cream) might help. Gradually re-introducing these foods one-by-one will help you to identify which have the biggest impact. There is a channel from the back of your throat to the sensory cells in your nose. If this channel is blocked by any kind of congestion, your ability to taste food will be affected. Various pollutants such as chemical fumes can interfere with your sense of smell. Smoking is one common example of a substance that can compromise your ability to smell. Quitting could help you recover a better sense of smell. Your smell will be most diminished in the thirty minutes after smoking a cigarette.  Various drugs can hamper your ability to smell. These includes stimulants, depressants, antibiotics and other drugs. If you think you are taking something that might be impairing your sense of smell, contact your doctor.  Some cold remedies can make you lose your sense of smell. Be sure you don't stop taking a prescribed course of drugs without talking to your doctor first. There is a suggestion that prolonged exposure to bad smells tends to numb your ability to smell. For example, someone who works with compost everyday might over time become less sensitive to the odour. Try to avoid prolonged exposure to strong smells, and if you do have to be around them, consider wearing a mask over your nose and mouth. Wearing a mask can help filter out some of the smells.

Article in English: Have you ever tried repeating a word so many times that it ceases to sound like a real word at all? This same idea can be used for jokes. If you’ve got a particular joke that seems to inspire your own laughter, try saying this joke as many times as possible. Say it while you’re driving, while you’re preparing breakfast, or while you are in the shower. Say the joke so many times that it loses it’s power. . If you feel the tickle of an uncontrollable laugh coming on, try giving yourself a pinch. Inflicting yourself with just a little bit of pain will be enough of a mental distraction to halt the laugh in its tracks. . Another simple trick to stop an oncoming laugh is to exhale the air from your lungs, and then hold it. Just stop breathing for a few seconds (you can count to five in your head). This helps to break the cycle you are in, and switch off your instinct to laugh. . Just as actors use sad memories from their lives to inspire tears on stage, you can use a sad memory to halt a laugh. When you feel a laugh taking hold of you, think quickly of the saddest memory you’ve got. This will interrupt your laugh. If you should happen to laugh anyway, consider making it part of the joke. Sometimes owning up to the laugh can be even funnier.  Note that, usually, a little snort is a lot less disruptive than a long bout of hysterical laughter. If you need to let out a little laugh, try not to make it long and drawn out. A short laugh can add to the joke telling experience, but a long laugh will almost always distract from it. Try making your compulsion to laugh part of the joke. Instead of focusing on the words of the joke itself, look at the people to whom you're telling the joke. Are they laughing? Did they find your joke funny? Make mental notes about who laughed and what their favorite parts of your joke seemed to be. It's hard to laugh at your own joke when you're thinking about something else.

Article in English: Have you gone to this park before? If not, research beforehand. If there doesn't seem to be any attractions that you like, don't force yourself. and invite friends. Make sure you know how much tickets cost and buy them beforehand if necessary. If you are sure that you want to go multiple times, see if a season pass is worth the money. There are sometimes passes that are used up once you go on a certain number of rides. If you only want to ride a few, opt for these, but if not, make sure you are buying a pass that will let you ride all day. If you’re making a multi-day vacation of it (which is a good idea if you want to hit up the amusement park), staying on site or nearby will make it all much easier. While it may seem tempting, riding rides in whatever order you feel like can mean you travel from one end of the park to the other many more times than is necessary, and your feet will be very sore as a result. To avoid this, get a park map and use it. Ride things in order, or at least ride everything you want to go on in one specific area of the park before moving on to another. Depending on how long you will be at the park, make plans for what you will eat. Keep in mind that park food is expensive. If you have nausea but otherwise enjoy park rides, there should be nausea-relieving pills at your local drugstore or pharmacy. Take these beforehand. Unless you're sure that you won't be nauseous, it's best to have these with you.

Article in English: Have you met his family yet?  Especially his mother?  This is a sign that he is serious about you. If he regularly takes you to family events and speaks about you to his family, this is another sign of commitment. If you have met his close friends, then he probably is very invested in the relationship. You might hear him speaking about you to his friends on the phone as well, which is another good sign. Don't sweat it if he doesn't invite you out when it's boys’ night.  This is a time for him and his guys. A man who is serious about his partner will often go above and beyond for them.  Does he sit through your favorite shows with you even though he hates them?  Or maybe he takes you out for sushi even though he doesn’t eat it. These are signs of a man who cares for you. Are you often your guy’s plus one to events?  You might find you two are so serious that he no longer even asks you to be his date for major events.  Instead, it might be an expectation or assumption at this point. If you two spend more time together than apart, you’re probably serious. If you have a drawer, toothbrush, or section of a closet at his home, then he is probably invested in the relationship.  Not only are you a regular fixture at his place, but so are your things. If he keeps things at your place, this is a sign of seriousness, as well, but it is not necessarily a sign of commitment. When your car breaks down, is he the first person you call?  Or when your pet died, did he come over to comfort you?  When a man is serious in a relationship, he often makes himself available and useful.  Notice the things he’s done for you over the course of your relationship.

Article in English: Have your child take a bath with 500 grams of salt dissolved in the water before bed. Minerals from the saltwater may reduce infection, strengthen the immune system, and detoxify the body. This step might be useful if your child has a tendency to develop bladder infections. Ideally, the temperature of the water should be about body temperature: 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit or 37 degrees Celsius. Add fresh or dried parsley to boiling water; let it stand for five to ten minutes, then strain it, add a few drops of lemon, and stir in a teaspoon of honey. Parsley tea guards against urinary tract infections and supplies calcium and magnesium. Only offer the tea in the mornings, though; it could increase urination and lead to more accidents at nighttime. Allow cornsilk to dry for several days, then make a tea by covering it with boiling water and letting it stand for ten minutes. Cornsilk tea may strengthen the muscles of the bladder and remove toxins from it. Again, offer the tea only in the mornings, as drinking it at night could cause more accidents. Boil oats in a liter of cold water, then let the tea sit for an hour before straining and drinking. Oats are rich in calcium and magnesium and may help calm the nervous system, which can help prevent accidents caused by stress. As with other teas, offer oat tea to your child only in the mornings. Bedwetting is usually normal and does not typically need to be addressed by a physician. However:  See a pediatrician if your child is older than seven years old and still wetting the bed. A pediatrician can help rule out other causes (including urinary tract and bladder infections) and give you advice for helping your child stay dry. See a pediatrician if your child is older than five years old and still having accidents during the daytime as well as at night. By five years old, most children should be able to control urination. If yours can’t yet, see a pediatrician to rule out physical causes and get advice for treatment, but be aware that this problem can be genetic: you may...

Article in English: Have your supplies on hand before you start on this experiment. You will need:  Plastic bottle with a cap: A large soda bottle is ideal for this experiment. Make sure to remove the label from the plastic bottle. Then you will be able to see the clouds when they form inside the bottle. It is also best to choose a clear bottle. Matches Water Use hot water from the tap. Pour in enough water to cover the bottom of the bottle, or about 1 inch (2.5 cm).  Don’t use boiling water in a plastic bottle. The plastic might warp and the experiment won’t work. The water should be hot, though. Try for about 130 °F (54 °C). Swirl around the water a bit to warm up the sides of the bottle. Blow it out after a few full seconds. Make sure an adult is around you while you are doing this step. Tilt the bottle with one hand and insert the head of the match into the top of the bottle. Let the smoke from the match fill the bottle. , where it will seem to disappear. Discard the match. Grip the neck of the bottle so that you do not squeeze the sides before the cap is screwed in completely. This prevents any smoke or air from escaping. Do this three or four times.  Wait a few seconds then squeeze the bottle again, this time holding the squeeze longer before releasing. You should see your very own cloud there!   Putting pressure on the bottle's sides forces the water particles to compress.  When you let go of the sides of the bottle, the air expands, decreasing the temperature. When the air cools, the particles can stick together a little more easily, which causes them to clump into little tiny droplets around the smoke molecules.   This mimics the process of clouds forming in the sky.  Clouds in the sky are made up of water droplets that have clung to tiny particles of dust, smoke, ash, or salt.

Article in English: Having HPV does not typically cause any complications for the baby.   It is possible for a mother to transmit HPV to her baby during the delivery, and that transmission may cause respiratory issues or genital warts in the baby. However, these cases are very rare.  Even when HPV is transmitted to the baby he is typically able to recover from the symptoms, either with his own immune system or through medical intervention. Vaccines, when given to males and females at an early age (around 11 to 12 years old), have been shown to prevent the contraction of HPV and its complications, including genital warts.  Young women should be given two vaccines - Cervarix and Gardasil - around age 11 to 12 to prevent the forms of HPV that are most likely to cause cervical cancer. These vaccines also prevent the contraction of genital warts and anal, vaginal, and vulvar cancers. Young women through the age of 26 may still be given the Cervarix and Gardasil vaccines if they were not fully vaccinated at a younger age. Young men should be given the vaccine Gardasil around age 11 to 12 to protect against genital warts and anal cancers. Young men through age 26 may still be given the Gardasil vaccine if they were not properly vaccinated at a younger age. Vaccines cannot be used to treat HPV once it has been acquired. Vaccines also cannot be used to prevent cancer once HPV has been contracted. The vaccines are only effective in individuals who have not yet acquired HPV. Treatment typically involves removal of warts or application of antiviral medication to treat precancerous lesions. The exact course of treatment will vary, depending on the individual's health and the doctor's recommendations. .  At-home treatments for genital warts include Podofilox, Imiquimod, and Sinecatechins. These prescription-strength medications are applied to the affected area to remove genital warts.  Your doctor may administer cryotherapy every one to two weeks as needed to freeze warts.  Podophyllin resin may be administered by your doctor every one to two...

Article in English: Having a baby changes individual lives and that of a couple in significant ways. By understanding and talking about the inevitable changes that will happen, you can prevent misunderstandings and potential problems in your relationship.  Women are hard-wired to focus on nurturing their baby in the first few months after birth. Being aware of this along with inherent changes can help your husband prepare himself mentally.  For example, most women don’t want to have sex in the initial months after giving birth—and some don’t even want to have sex during pregnancy. But men don’t experience this change. Understand that it’s hormonal and make a plan for how you’ll deal with it. There are all kinds of books and websites available to help you prepare for your child. Gather information from your doctor, friends, books, and websites to help you navigate your pregnancy as a couple.  Ask your doctor and friends for tips and resources that can be valuable during and after pregnancy. You may want to consult sources that explain what is happening to your body at every stage so that you and your husband understand the changes you’re both experiencing. One of the best gifts you can give your baby is a strong partnership. Keeping your relationship strong and healthy throughout your pregnancy and beyond can help you effectively prepare and care for your baby.  It’s important at this time to have discussions about all kinds of matters including expectations, family values and how you’ll raise your children. Even if you can agree completely, you can find some kind of compromise that may help to prevent undermining your relationship. Schedule ample time together to enjoy life as a couple. You can go for walks or have more formal date nights or vacations to strengthen your bond. Babies are expensive and require a lot of time and attention. Talking about your finances and how you’ll share the work of taking care of your baby can help avoid miscommunications down the road.  You may want to discuss workload during your pregnancy,...

Article in English: Having a backup will help minimize any downtime if the downgrade process doesn't go well. See this guide for instructions on how to backup your iPhone. An IPSW file is the firmware file that contains the iOS system software. You will need to download the signed IPSW file for 7.1.2 that is specific to your device. There are different files for different phones and different carriers. You can find the IPSW files at places like ipsw.me.  You have to be fast about it, though, because Apple stops signing these files shortly after releasing the next iOS version. Open iTunes if it doesn't open automatically.  Hold down ⌥ Opt (Mac) or ⇧ Shift (Windows) and click Restore. Browse for the IPSW file that you downloaded. Click Update again. The downgrade process will begin. If this fails, you may have downloaded the wrong file, or Apple may have stopped signing the files digitally. If Apple is no longer signing the files, then downgrading will no longer be possible. Apple signs files digitally for a short time after the update is released, but they do not announce when they will stop signing them. After downgrading, your iDevice will show the Setup screen. Follow the prompts to setup the device, then restore from your backup.

Article in English: Having a bad birthday is a huge letdown. Acknowledging that it was a bummer and mourning a little bit is important; if you pretend you’re not upset, it can lead to a prolonged bad mood. Eat some ice cream or have a good cry, but then move on! You have some fun to plan. If your birthday didn’t go the way you wanted it to, take matters into your own hands and have a birthday redo.  Pick a day coming up (be sure to give ample time for people to plan ahead) and treat yourself to a party. Some tips for a great post-birthday bash:  Invite as many or as little people as you feel comfortable; you control the guest list! If you’re going out, pick a favorite restaurant you already love or, if you’re feeling adventurous, go to a new place you’ve been wanting to try. If you’re staying in, buy or make food and decorations to highlight the birthday theme, or consider incorporating a nontraditional theme, like a favorite era or trend, to liven it up further. Buy or make a cake to make it feel like a real birthday celebration! There’s no rule that says you can only accept gifts on your birthday, so go out and treat yourself to some gifts!  During your birthday redo, make sure to do things on that day (or week!) that you will enjoy. This won’t fix your bad birthday completely, but treating yourself can help ease the sting in the meantime.  Buy yourself a present you were hoping to get but did not. Rent a favorite movie and order takeout from your favorite restaurant. Invite some friends over or have a solo DIY spa day.

Article in English: Having a big, long net will be the easiest way to catch a gecko, as it allows you to capture the gecko from the greatest distance.  Hover the net slightly above the gecko. Try to center the net's rim around the spot the gecko is standing. Drop the net as quickly as possible. Hold the rim of the net down against the ground or wall to contain the gecko, once you've trapped it. Wear thick gloves if you're unsure whether the gecko might bite.  Cup your hands together, creating a hollow tube with your hands. Hover your hands slightly above the gecko. Drop your cupped hands down over the gecko. Be sure that the gecko won't be able to climb out of your hands. Keep the bottoms of your hands flat against the ground, and your fingers tightly knit. You can use a stick to gently "guide" a gecko in the direction you want it to go.  Slowly lower the stick slightly behind the gecko. When the gecko moves, continue to "herd" the gecko in the direction you want it to go.  Be careful not to harm the gecko. You should never actually touch the lizard with the stick. It should simply be used to guide the gecko toward a net or a second person with open hands.

Article in English: Having a boat equipped with a reliable fish-finder will certainly help in your pursuit of big striped bass.  Having a firm understanding of how to operate your fish-finder will aid you in locating a productive area in which striped bass have gathered. Therefore it is recommended that you read the owner's manual thoroughly before using.  Striped bass can be unpredictable—they can be found at different locations and different depths depending on the weather, time of year and even the time of day. Using your fish-finder will help you to determine the depth at which the bass are holding, which will allow you to present the bait at that exact depth and give you the best chance of actually catching a striped bass. Striped Bass are opportunistic feeders who may be caught using a wide range of bait.  Live bait such as herring, menhaden, mackerel, eels, squid, clams, anchovies, bloodworms, shad, nightcrawlers and sandworms all make great bait for striped bass fishing. You can find these baits at just about any local fishing bait and tackle shop. The type of bait that will bring you the most success will depend on the location you intend to fish in. If you're unfamiliar with the body of water you'll be fishing, consult with a local bait and tackle shop to find out what type of bait they recommend. You can also catch striped bass using a lure that resembles the forage base in the area where you'll be fishing. These lures can be made from plastic, wood, metal, resins or rubber. You should be able to catch striped bass with almost any rod and reel, provided it's heavier than a light spinning outfit.  The type of rod you use will depend on type of fishing you intend to do. Will you be fishing in freshwater or saltwater? Will you be fishing on a boat? Or will you be fishing from the surf or on a jetty, bridge or pier? Will you be chunking bait, or using a lure? The answers to these questions will determine the correct weight, size and flexibility for your rod.  The type of reel you use is arguably more important than the...

Article in English: Having a cup of coffee or can of soda every day may help minimize your risk of developing Parkinson’s. Make sure to stay within recommended daily allowances for caffeine so that you don’t develop other health problems.  Choose any beverage with caffeine, as there is no evidence that one type of caffeine is better than others. For example, you could have coffee, tea, cola, or energy drinks. Some foods even have natural caffeine. These include: protein bars, coffee-flavored ice cream or yogurt, and chocolate.  Consume less than 400 milligrams of caffeine daily. This is about four cups of brewed coffee, 10 cans of soda, or two “energy shot” drinks. If you are drinking soda in order to get caffeine, consider limiting how much you drink. Sodas are often packed with sugar and won’t promote good health if you drink them too often. In addition to having coffee or tea, green tea may also prevent Parkinson’s. Green tea has compounds called green tea polyphenols, a type of antioxidant, that may eliminate free radicals in your system. Be sure to read labels when drinking green tea. Some products have caffeine while others don’t. Remember that green tea counts towards your daily hydration totals. Eating more peppers—red, green, yellow, and orange—may lower your risk for developing Parkinson’s. Incorporate peppers into daily meals and have them as snacks, both of which may help you stave off Parkinson’s when combined with other dietary and lifestyle choices. Be aware that doctors are still unsure if raw or cooked peppers are better for decreasing your risk. Try having some peppers at each meal and make sure you vary the colors to get the most nutrients. For example, you could have an omelet with peppers at breakfast, a salad with diced peppers for lunch, and stuffed peppers for dinner. Have some pepper strips dipped in hummus or light ranch dressing for a snack. In addition to eating peppers, having fresh and raw vegetables at every meal may decrease your Parkinson’s risk. This is because low levels of the B vitamin...

Article in English: Having a daily routine is important for dogs of any age, but it's especially important for younger dogs. A puppy can typically only hold his bladder for one hour per every month of age, meaning that young puppies may need to go outside once every hour. It's best to establish a routine as quickly as possible with your dog to ensure that he doesn't have any problems. In addition to the correlation between number of months of age and number of hours a puppy can wait to go out, it's also important to let your dog out first thing in the morning, during or after play time, and after he's eaten a meal or drank a lot of water. This time also refers to the maximum length of time he can hold on (i.e. at night). When house breaking a puppy, it is important to offer him a toilet break every 20- 30 minutes for training purposes. Whether you walk your dog or let him outside in a fenced-in enclosure, it's important for your dog to have a routine spot where he urinates. This can be a tree that you pass near your home, or a certain spot in the yard. Whatever spot your dog chooses, it's important to let him always have access to that spot while you are training him to urinate outdoors.

Article in English: Having a daily workout routine will help you feel and look your best. A good workout should combine a rigorous cardio set with regular weight training for optimal results.  Aim to do a cardio workout four days a week for at least 30 minutes. Incorporate a 20 minute weight-training session twice a week. You may not think much about it on a day-to-day basis, but the way you stand or sit conveys a lot about your confidence and self-esteem. Over time, poor posture can also lead to back and neck problems.  Take regular stretch breaks at work or at home. Try to stand up, stretch, and open up your chest for a few minutes every half hour or so. You should also try to walk around and move your body a little as often as possible.  Sit up straight for better back health and posture. Keep your back and neck straight with your shoulders slightly dropped whenever you're sitting at a desk or in a chair. Some men go their whole lives without ever changing their style. If you know what you like, there's nothing wrong with that. However, changing up your style could help get you out of a rut and feel more confident and attractive.  If you've never grown a beard, try growing one. Many men find that wearing a beard lends a sense of confidence and makes men look more attractive.  Try the opposite. If you've had a beard for many years, shave off your facial hair and see what your bare face looks like after all this time. You might find that you feel more attractive and younger with a simple shave. Pick up one or two articles of clothing that go against your usual style. Try wearing these when you need a confidence booster.

Article in English: Having a defender trying to block you or steal the ball can be a difficult obstacle to overcome.  However, the defender has some weaknesses that you can exploit to move beyond them.  Try some of the following techniques to get around a defender.  Wait for them to overplay which will send them off balance and allow you to move around them. You can try a fake or juke to make the defender move one way while you go the other. The main focus is to keep the defender off balance, taking away their ability to recover their momentum and block you. Although the defender will be trying their best to slow you down it is important that you set the pace.  If you slow down or give into their defense they will have a better chance of stopping you or stealing the ball.  Always be aggressive when facing any defenders and set the pace of the attack.  Defenders will try to push you into a position where they can steal the ball. Try to push into the defender, causing them to continually back up toward the goal. Try to move towards the defenders backside at all times to prevent them from stealing the ball. Soccer is a team sport and working with your team can greatly increase your chances of scoring more goals during a match.  Passing the ball and properly attacking the defenders will make more shots possible, allowing you to increase your own chances of scoring more goals.    Pass the ball when needed. Keep an eye on your teammates and pass the ball when they are open. Don't hog the ball.  Working together will increase your chances of scoring more often. Once you have a clear shot at the goal you will need to shoot the ball quickly and accurately in order to score the goal.  Make sure you kick the ball with proper technique and shoot it away from where the goal keeper might be located in order to increase your chances of successfully scoring a goal.  Using the inside of your foot allows for greater accuracy at the cost of power. Kick the middle or top half of the ball. Shooting low makes it tough for the goalkeeper to reach the...

Article in English: Having a foul mouth is just not classy at all. If you have the urge to curse, go into the bathroom and turn on the faucet while you let loose a row of expletives; or curse into a pillow. Never let people see you curse. This will often make you look trashy, and if you're cursing because you're angry, it appears as though you don't know how to control your temper. This is a big sign of having no class. Cursing, in general, should be avoided; cursing at specific people should be avoided even more. That's right. Instead of talking about how someone is trashy, annoying, loud, or stupid, take some time to say something nice about a person who isn't there. Doing so will show that you've got class, and that you're confident and cool enough to realize the strengths of others instead of talking smack the second someone turns around.  If you praise people behind their backs, you'll look like a positive, self-possessed person, instead of someone who is always looking for trouble. If you're always gossiping, people will think you have no class because you don't respect the privacy and boundaries of other people. Has someone ever walked into a party where you were hanging out and said, "I knew I was in the right place when I heard your voice from across the street"? If so, then you better pump down the volume. Everyone can hear you just fine. Don't think that you have to yell or shout to prove your point. Talking evenly, even if you're around a lot of people, is a sign of class because it means you're confident enough not to have to shout to get people's attention. If you're concerned about this, ask your friends to rate you on a loudness scale. If you come close to a 10, or a 10 on the Richter scale, then it's time to tone it down. For some reason, many people who think they are classy just love to talk about how much class they have, especially in comparison to one person or another who has "no class" or "no class whatsoever." If you find yourself saying, "I've got class..." or, "I'm a classy girl..." then you are not...

Article in English: Having a friend in the water with you is comforting. They can remind you what you need to be doing. They can hold you in specific positions while you get a feel for them. Whether you are a child or an adult, there is a swim class out there for you. Being around people who are there to teach you will ease any tension or apprehension you might feel. Having a weekly “date” at the pool will help you be accountable to the learning process. Learning how your body moves and feels in the water is very important. It’s something we’re not used to, but once you get comfortable, water can be very comfortable and soothing.  Start off in the shallow end and begin to move your hands and arms around. Push your hands against the water to feel the resistance. Cup your hands and pull them through the water (sculling). That pressure you feel is what is going to eventually help propel you through the water effortlessly. Bend your legs and let the water come up to your chin. Continue to  move your hands and arms. Even when you are beginning to learn strokes, start each session like this. The most important (and scariest) part of swimming is learning how to breathe. But once you learn how to exhale into the water, you will be on your way to more efficient and graceful swimming.  Reach forward and hold onto the edge of the pool in the shallow end. Put your face in the water and blow out. When you are done, turn your head to the side and take a breath. Push your face back into the water and exhale. Try to create a long, steady stream of bubbles. Repeat until you are comfortable. Exhaling into the water and timing your breathing might be frightening at first, but with practice you’ll soon be ready to learn some basic strokes. It sounds obvious, but floating is a tough skill to learn, and harder to master. In an emergency, knowing how to float can save precious energy and possibly your life.

Article in English: Having a friendly expression is the first step in putting your friend at ease. Have a nice, relaxed, and genuine smile that doesn’t look forced. Having a body posture that suggests you are truly interested in someone lets him see how nice you are being to him. Sit leaning slightly forward with your arms casually at your sides. Crossing your arms gives off an appearance of being guarded and closed. Be present in your conversation, ask questions to show you are interested and listening, and your friend will sense you are a person that he can really relax, trust, and talk to. People just really want to be heard.  Asking questions about the people you are with makes the other feel special. Look at it like a detective game, where the goal is to pick up on clues and cues as to who the other person really is inside. You’ll take more interest in him this way, and the person you are talking to will really warm to you. . Good listeners make eye contact for about 75% of a conversation. You don’t want to stare, but show you’re interested. Look between his eyes and the bridge of his nose, or just slightly to the side at his ear lobe. Although you can’t be everything to everybody, you can ask a friend how you appear in social circles and if you seem open and friendly or closed and unwelcoming. You may find that you are unintentionally giving off the wrong vibe.  You might think, for example, that your active-listening face shows you are intently paying close attention but an outsider may think you look stern or even angry. Always offering to help people may come from a place of generosity and friendliness but may be accidentally perceived as you thinking that your friends can’t do something well enough on their own. You might not know this, however, unless you ask. Guard your emotions, however, and be prepared in case you hear your friend bluntly tell you that you come off entirely different than you imagine.

Article in English: Having a goal in mind will give you motivation to finish your work, and you'll be more successful at staying focused. Part of the reason we lose focus is because we can't see the point of whatever task we have to get done and would rather be doing something else.  For example, if you're studying, remind yourself why it's important. It may not be important for you to ace 1 quiz or test, but it is important for you to succeed in the course that will factor in your quiz or test grade, and it is important for you to get good grades so you can graduate. Or, if you're doing work, remind yourself why your work is important. If the work is a means to an end, remind yourself of all the things you can buy because of the work, or about all of the fun things you can do once your work day is over. It's easy to get bogged down in a distracting series of small tasks if you're not working towards a single, large goal. When you have a goal to work towards, it can be the carrot at the end of the stick that makes the task worth doing.  So, what is your goal for completing your task? Is it to simply get done with the work or school day, to save up enough money to buy a boat, or to advance your career? For example, your goal could also be just to clean your whole house so you can throw a fun party, or to run for 40 minutes without giving up so you can be in better shape. ” When you know exactly what your purpose and goal are, you can create a focus mantra that you repeat to yourself whenever you get distracted. It can be just a simple phrase that you repeat when you're getting sidetracked that helps get you back in order. If repeating this out loud would be make you feel awkward, try writing your mantra down on a sticky note and sticking it on your desk. Your mantra could be something like, “No more Facebook and no more texting until I get my work done. When I get my work done, I'll be ready to ace the chemistry test, and when I ace the chemistry test, I'll get an A in the class!”

Article in English: Having a good cleaning and skincare routine is the most important thing you can do to care for oily skin. Gently clean your face twice a day, morning and night, with warm water and soap, or a soapless facial cleanser. Use a gentle cleanser at first, as a harsher cleanser can actually increase oil production.  If a normal cleanser does not reduce the oiliness of your skin, consider a cleanser that includes benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or beta hydroxy acid. Start with a cleanser with benzoyl peroxide. This chemical is used specifically to treat mild to moderate acne.  A chemical cleanser like this might lead to side-effects, such as drying, redness and scaling. These effects often recede after the first month of using the cleanser.  You may have to try a number of different products to see which one works best for you.  Use your hands to clean your face and do not use a washcloth or loofah. Pat your face dry afterwards — do not rub or irritate the skin. If you have oily skin, it is important that you choose cosmetics that will not exacerbate it. Check the labels carefully and always opt for “oil-free” or “water-based” cosmetics. There is some uncertainty about the direct effect of cosmetics on oil production, but heavy makeup may block your pores. If you can go without, try holding off on products like foundation. Keep your makeup minimal (like using mascara and lipstick only) to avoid clogging pores. Often people with oily skin will steer clear of moisturizers, thinking that their skin doesn’t need any extra lubrication, but this is not true. Those with oily skin still need to moisturize. Certainly oily moisturizers should be avoided, along with anything that might further clog up your skin. Oil-free moisturizers, however, can help you achieve a balance in your skin.  Vary the amount you apply according to the parts of your face that are oilier or drier.  Choose the product carefully, and look for a non-oily non-comedogenic moisturizer. Look for products specifically tailored to those with...

Article in English: Having a great sense of fashion and taking care of your hygiene are two of the most important factors in determining how attractive you are to the girls in your school. If you are currently wearing striped sweaters, awkward looking jeans, and tennis shoes, it's time for a change. Fix up your hair, buy some shirts that fit you, and start wearing more dapper shoes.  Stay clean. Girls are suckers for clean guys. Shower regularly, floss and brush your teeth twice daily. You need to smell nice to make an impression. Purchase or find some low-rise, slim fit pants or jeans. If you're on the heavier side, baggier pants are probably better (but don't get lost in a sea of cloth). Skinny jeans that hug every inch of your legs are probably not the best fit, unless you're sure you can pull it off. Purchase or find some trim collared shirts. You don't need dragons or tribal patterns on your shirts to impress girls. A simple plaid, one-tone, or striped pattern will do. Purchase or find some soft, simple sweaters or jackets. Give girls an excuse to get close to you. V-necks are in style currently. Crew necks and hoodies also work. Go with what you think will look good on you. Get a nice haircut. Yes, you might have to shell out more than $20 for a haircut. But it will be worth it. Look through magazines like GQ or Vanity Fair and bring a picture along of someone who has the cut you'd like. Girls are naturally attracted to guys who have a lot of "social proof." To gain social proof, you must be "popular," which simply means you just need to make a lot of friends. So be more talkative and get to know the people in your school, your class, etc.   Always smile and laugh. Try to have a good time with everyone. If you're not looking like you're enjoying yourself, you are a turn-off.  Get involved in what you like. High school can be tough for a lot of us because we're still figuring out what we like and what we don't. If you do have hobbies, interests, or curiosities, find other people who share that share passion. Chances are...

Article in English: Having a healthy dose of vitamins in your diet will improve your overall health. You can also purchase certain vitamins that lead directly to improving the health of your hair. Research products specifically for your hair type to find what will work best for you. Most of these vitamins can be incorporated into your eating routine naturally, if they aren't included in it already.  Biotin, otherwise known as Vitamin H, improves the health of your hair. It increases your hair's elasticity and moisturizes dryness. This will prevent breaking. You can find biotin in brown rice, lentils, oats, among other foods. Vitamin A helps produce healthy sebum, an oily substance released by your scalp. Sebum helps prevent dryness. Do not overload on Vitamin A, however, as an excess of it can actually lead to hair loss. Vitamin E promotes healthy skin while improving your body's blood circulation. This vitamin increases your body's ability to intake oxygen. Having a steady flow of oxygen into your body will aid your body in producing new hair cells. In addition to strengthening your hair, more protein in your diet will improve your inner health. When your body digests protein, it breaks it down into smaller amino acids. These will aid in the construction of new body tissues, antibodies, hormones, enzymes, and blood cells.  Meats like steak, chicken, and fish contain healthy protein and amino acids. If you're a vegetarian, you can get your protein from tofu, beans, nuts, and legumes. These foods also replenish other vitamins crucial to healthy hair growth. Protein is necessary for tissue repair. Your cells need amino acids to remain intact and healthy. Protein is the active substance in repairing broken cells, so having it in your diet will help replenish dead skin and hair cells. While they're tough to come by, Omega-3 fatty acids are vital to improving your inner health. Good fatty acids in your diet will lower triglyceride levels, reducing your risk for heart disease.  Researchers have found that high levels of Omega-3 acids...

Article in English: Having a high vertical jump will enable you to be a more formidable player, giving you an advantage over your opponent. Achieve high jumping with plyometrics, which are movements that are completed with a lot of force very quickly. Measuring your current jump height will give you a good indication of how much you are improving. To measure your height:  Ask someone to observe you. Jump up as high as you can next to a wall while reaching your arms upward. Have your observer mark on the wall how high you jumped and measure the height. You can also put a bit of chalk on your hands. As you jump up against a wall, extend your arm upward and touch the wall at the highest point you can reach. Measure that height. Use a surface that is about 2 feet off the ground, such as a jump box or bench. Face the box and jump on it with both feet landing flat and balanced. Do 3 sets of 20 repetitions every day. When this height becomes easy for you, add more height and challenge yourself further. Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart and hold 10-pound weights in each hand at your sides. Bend your knees and jump up in the air. At the same time, shrug your shoulders to help lift the weights. Land back down with both feet firmly balanced on the floor. Complete 3 sets of 25 repetitions every day.  When this weight becomes easy, increase your weights in 5-poumd increments. Alternately, use a medicine ball instead of weights. Lift the ball above your head as you jump up. Bring the ball back to your chest when you land on the ground. In between other exercises, jump rope as quickly as possible for 30-second intervals. This will not only improve your ability to jump quickly and with height, but it will also improve your endurance and cardio performance. Training your leg muscles will help you jump higher with more force. Do squats, deadlift weight training, and other strength training for your legs 2-3 times a week. After spending two weeks on these types of jump training exercises, re-measure your jump height to see how much you...

Article in English: Having a network of close friends is one the best ways to become happy with yourself in the long run. Having the right friends can improve your self-esteem, make you feel needed, and boost your self-confidence.  Treasure old friendships. Maintain these relationships with frequent visits, emails, phone calls, or skype sessions. If you've met someone who you really click with, don't be afraid to ask them on a coffee date to see if you can get to know each other better. Dump your toxic friends. If you have a friend who makes you feel terrible about yourself or is so negative that they manage to ruin your mood every time you hang out, it may be time to let them go. In many cases, nobody has done more for you or knows you better than your parents or siblings. Whether you're off at college, living in a different country, or sharing a house with your family members, it's important to be happy with who they are in order to be truly happy being yourself.  If you have a good relationship with your parents, take time to talk to them often, and tell them you love them. Don’t forget to thank them! Treat your siblings well. Even if you sometimes you feel like you and your sibling live on different planets, you still share a common bond of knowing what it's like to grow up in the same place with the same parents. Even if you don’t have a strong relationship with your biological family, you can appreciate those who are like family in your life. Consider who you might consider to be your family, and let them know how you feel. Feeling involved in your neighborhood, city, religion, school, or other community group can make you feel like you belong to something bigger. This can help you create long-lasting relationships and find interesting things to do.  Introduce yourself to your neighbors. Your neighbors will not only make you feel involved in where you live, but they could end up being your best friends. Attend town hall meetings, book clubs on your streets, concerts by local musicians, volunteer park clean-up days, or any...

Article in English: Having a nice scent associated with your presence can make you appear more fashionable. Try to develop a classy scent using perfume or scented lotion. Ask for samples of scents you like from a department store and try them all out before buying the one you like the most.  For men, choose a cologne that you use consistently. Look for a fragrance that blends with your natural odor. You can also combine or layer products to create a unique scent. Make sure you don't use too much cologne, however, as this can be off-putting. For women, scented lotion, perfume, shampoo, and conditioner all carry distinct scents. Choose a brand that is pleasant but not overpowering. Too much perfume or scent can be irritating to others. Your grooming habits can also help you become more fashionable. Focus on your hair, shaving habits, and makeup.  If you're a man, shave on a regular basis. Keep your hair trimmed and brushed. If you're female, neutral makeup is sometimes more flattering that dramatic colors. Stick to tones that match your skin. If you paint your nails, do so carefully. Make sure you avoid smearing the polish and redo the nails as needed when you notice the color fading or chipping. Otherwise, keep your nails clean and clear. Being fashionable goes beyond clothing and make-up. You should also strive to create a fun and fashionable home environment. You can search sites like Pinterest for inspiration. Then, pick out similar items from a discount home-goods store.  Line drawers in your home with scented, patterned paper. This can be a fun way to make your home cute and fashionable.  If you work in an office, consider bringing in personal business cards and pens. This can be a fun way to add flare to your personal style. A fun way to live a fashionable lifestyle is attending fashion exhibits. Watch for fashion related exhibits at local art galleries. Make a day trip to a big city if a big fashion exhibit is coming into town. This can help you stay up-to-date on trends while having a sense of the history behind fashion....

Article in English: Having a positive morning routine can help set the tone for the entire day. Wake up to your alarm 15 minutes earlier than usual. Spend a few minutes in bed, take some deep breaths, and assure yourself that today will be a good day. Tell yourself that this is a chance for a fresh start, which will help you center yourself for the rest of the day. Finding pockets of time during the day to help you let go of problems, consider remedies or solutions, or treating yourself will help you maintain a Zen attitude. Constantly rushing around will add to your stress and make it harder to maintain calm. Take time to enjoy activities like cooking, walking or writing. This will also help you feel more in control over things in your life. Meditating will give your mind some much needed space to process everyday stresses. Choose the same time of day in order to get yourself into a routine. This is often best at the beginning of the day, when you are preparing for the day. Meditating doesn’t need to take very long, so adjust the time to what works for you. Start with a minimum of 5 minutes and work up to 10 minutes, then 25 minutes.  Take a minimum of 5 minutes to sit quietly and comfortably. Focus on your breathing, drawing in full, deep breaths through your nose and into your lungs and stomach. Breathe out slowly and deliberately. Count to 4 on the inhale, and count to 4 on the exhale.  Keep your eyes open with a soft focus. You can close your eyes if this feels more comfortable to you. As your mind begins to wander, bring it back to focus on your breathing and to resume counting the breaths. Sleep is a naturally healing technique that will help you remain calm and ready to tackle the day. Plan to go to bed at a regular bedtime every night and aim to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep. Turning off distractions such as your phone or computer will go a long way to uncluttering your mind. Social media and email encourage you to respond to people’s needs and requests instantly and constantly. Taking time away from your electronic...

Article in English: Having a regular schedule is key to maintaining an exercise routine. If you find the right time of day and duration and stick to it, you’re more likely to maintain a steady and regular exercise regimen.  Look for a part of the day when you have enough time to devote to running without being stressed or rushed. Aim to jog consistently at least twice a week for the best results. As you get into better shape, gradually increase your workouts to help prevent you from getting into an exercise rut. Aim to increase your running distance by about 10% per week. So, if you run 5 miles (8.0 km) one week, increase it to 5.5 miles (8.9 km) the next. Having goals can help keep you focused and give you something to work towards. Think of a specific goal or challenge you would like to meet, and try to consistently work towards meeting it.  For example, you might work on meeting a particular time or distance goal, such as running 1 mile (1.6 km) in 10 minutes. Training for a race can be a great way to set goals for yourself and stay motivated. For example, you might train for a 5K or sign up for a charity run. Changing up your running routine is important to keep your body challenged so it doesn’t fall into a fitness rut. Variation is also vital to keeping you from getting bored or discouraged with your routine. Try running different routes, varying your pace and distance, or switching between indoor and outdoor runs.  Integrating new terrain can help change up your routine, so try adding hills or stairs to your route. Include intervals in your run. Intervals involve repeatedly alternating between running full out for several seconds followed by returning to a normal pace for several minutes. Alternatively, you can choose a landmark, sprint to it, then return to your normal pace for several minutes before choosing another landmark, sprinting to it, returning to normal pace, and so on. Running with another person is a great way to stay motivated and to hold yourself accountable. Ask around among your friends, family, or...

Article in English: Having a safe pregnancy is important to a healthy birth and baby. Making sure you’re getting proper obstetrical care from a doctor, nurse practitioner or midwife can help ensure not only that your pregnancy is progressing normally but also that it’s safe for you to check your cervix for dilation.  Be aware that beginning in your ninth month of pregnancy, your doctor will begin looking for signs that your labor is getting closer. This includes palpitating your abdomen and performing an internal exam to check your cervix. He or she will see if the baby has “dropped,” which means that the cervix has begun to dilate and get softer. Ask your doctor any questions you may have, including if the baby has dropped. You should also ask if it is safe to check dilation on your own. If your pregnancy is safe, then you can proceed. Having dirty hands can spread bacteria and germs that cause infection. Checking your cervix requires inserting a hand or fingers into your vagina. It’s imperative to your health and that of your unborn baby to wash your hands before you check your cervix for dilation.  Use any soap and some warm water to clean your hands. Wet your hands with running water and apply your soap, lathering well. Rub your hands vigorously for at least 20 seconds, making sure to scrub each surface of your hands. Rinse off the soap and then dry your hands thoroughly. Use a hand sanitizer of at least 60% alcohol if you don’t have soap. Apply enough of the sanitizer for both hands to the palm of one hand. Just as with soap, rub your hands together and make sure you cover every surface including nails. Keep rubbing until your hands are dry. If you’re a bit worried or scared about doing the exam on your own, ask your partner or another loved one for help. Allow the person to help as much as you are comfortable with and like. Support can come in the form of holding a mirror or your hand or even offering calming words. Before you can effectively check your cervix for dilation, you need to be in a comfortable position. You...

Article in English: Having a sentence or two in your head will help you lead the event in the right direction. Are you planning it to educate your community? Persuade potential donors for funds? To celebrate a specific individual or group of individuals? Get as narrow as possible. Whatever you're doing (be it educating, persuading, celebrating, etc.), why are you doing it? Think of it as your mission statement. Your framework for success. When you know exactly what you want to do, it's a lot easier to do it! What exactly do you want to accomplish? Not how many people do you want to show up, not the actual fact that the event is even happening -- what do you want to come out of this? 5 people to walk away a new part of your organization? $1,000 raised? Minds changed? People excited?  Think of the top three things you wish would happen as a result of this event and concentrate on them becoming a reality. Maybe one goal is financial, one is social, and one is personal. It's up to you! Good team members with different skills are a necessity.  They can help with everything from preparing schedules and budgets, to making invites and posters, to welcoming in guests and doing the dirty work of cleaning up afterward. In other words, they can help you get things done. And if you can, get volunteers who you trust!  Make sure to keep team members and supervisors "up to speed" with your plans.  Collaboration can make your job easier. When you ask them to help, be as complete as possible from the get-go about the expectations for them and their level of involvement. If you aren't in a situation where finding volunteers is feasible, hire a crew! It all depends on the type of event you're organising. The venue may be able to provide you with one or you can go through a third-party staffing agency. All possible expenses, incomes, sponsors, and contingent expenses should be included. If you don't budget, you'll end up with a wad of receipts, an empty pocketbook, and no idea what the heck just happened. Be realistic from day one so no surprises...

Article in English: Having a serious conversation with your boyfriend will be hard, especially if you’re upset. To help you get through what you need to say, decide what you want to tell him in advance. Then, practice saying that out loud. This will help you during the actual talk. Try talking to a mirror or explaining it to a supportive friend. Call or text him to tell him you’re ready to talk about what happened. Invite him to meet you in a neutral location or somewhere you feel comfortable. Schedule a time when you’ll have plenty of time to discuss the situation and won’t feel rushed.  For example, you might ask him to meet you at your house or at a local coffee shop. You might text him, “I need to talk to you about what happened with Stacey. Can we meet up at the Good Beans Cafe at 1 p.m.?” You might suspect he’s cheating if he’s been pulling away from you or you’ve been hearing rumors. If this is the case, it’s best to ask him directly instead of making assumptions. Explain your suspicions and why you feel that way. Then, ask him if he’s actually cheating on you. You might say, “I’ve noticed that you haven’t kissed me in 2 weeks, and now I’m hearing rumors about you going on a date with Alex. Is it true that you cheated?” He probably wasn’t trying to hurt you when he cheated, but he needs to know the pain his actions caused. Explain how you feel about what happened and why it hurt you so much. Say as much as you need to say to feel better. You might say, “I feel so hurt and betrayed right now. I trusted you with my heart, and you broke it into a million pieces.” to his side of the story but don’t accept blame. You probably know that there are 2 sides to every story, and seeing things from your boyfriend’s perspective could help. Give him a chance to explain himself and try to understand his side. However, don’t let him try to blame you or excuse his behavior.  This gives your boyfriend a chance to tell you if he wants to save your relationship and why you should take him back. Additionally, it might help you understand that...

Article in English: Having a smaller closet means more room for seasonal and trending items.  Throw away old styles. Make space for new items by throwing away the clothes you don't wear. Be honest. If you haven't worn something in a year, you could probably get rid of it.  Throw away items that do not fit you anymore. We all have sentimental pieces of clothing. However, clothing clutter will only keep you from expanding your style. Keep a small collection of your favorite basic items, such as well-fitting jeans and t-shirts. These items are timeless. You can pair them with trendier items you buy. Small items, like jackets and shoes are a good way to spruce up your basics. Make sure you are keeping track of everything you own. This will force you to be honest about what you are actually wearing. It will also help as you continue to refresh your wardrobe.

Article in English: Having a solid daily routine may help your dog to stop eliminating inside the house. Make sure that you feed your dog at the same times every day and take your dog outside at the same times every day. Your dog should be allowed to go outside to eliminate at least four times per day. If your dog’s feeding and outside times have become erratic, decide on a schedule that will work for you and stick to it. A sample schedule for feeding and taking your dog out might be something like:  6:00am: let Fido outside 7:00am: feed Fido breakfast 7:30am: let Fido outside 12:00pm: let Fido outside 5:00pm: take Fido for a walk 7:00pm: feed Fido dinner 7:30pm: let Fido outside In addition to keeping a steady routine for taking your dog outside, taking him to the same spot every time may also help you to housebreak your dog. Use an encouraging phrase such as “go potty” to let your dog know what you want him to do when you get to that spot. The repetition of going to the same place and hearing the same words will help your dog understand what you want from him. Remember to offer your dog lots of praise after he goes to the bathroom outside. Watching your dog for signs that he might be about to urinate or defecate in the house can help you to housebreak him. If your dog is prone to eliminating inside the house, find a way to keep him in your sight at all times. Monitoring your dog’s whereabouts will help you to prevent him from eliminating inside the house.  Try keeping your dog on a six foot long leash that is attached to you.  This will prevent him from going off to another room to eliminate and it will also help you to observe his behavior and determine when he needs to go.  If you cannot keep an eye on your dog during the day, you can use a crate or baby gate to confine your dog to a small area for short periods of time (less than 4 hours). As soon as you notice that your dog is getting ready to urinate or defecate, get his attention by clapping your hands together loudly. Do not yell at your dog or use physical punishment...

Article in English: Having a solid light source is an essential part of taking any kind of photograph, and selfies are no different. If you try to take a selfie in a dimly-lit room or one with harsh fluorescent lighting, it won't turn out the way you want it to. Natural light is the most flattering kind, so try to take your selfie near a window or outdoors. Keep these factors in mind when you shoot:  Keep the sun or other light source in front of you, a bit above eye level, for the most flattering shot. The light will brighten and soften your features, rather than casting harsh shadows across your face. If it's off to the side or behind you, your features could appear shadowy or distorted. Consider using a thin curtain to diffuse sunlight or a single light source. It makes the light  softer and more flattering. It will give the impression of smoother, softer facial lines so that your smile appears more attractive. Natural light renders colors more faithfully than artificial light, but you can use artificial light to fill shadows. If you don't have the best lighting, most modern digital cameras have some automatic color correction to make up for it. Don't use your flash if you can help it. It'll create a forehead glare, distort your appearance and possibly give your selfie the redeye effect. Many cell phones have two cameras: one in the back, and one in the front. Instead of using the camera in the front to take selfies, use the one in the back. The back camera takes higher-resolution pictures than the front camera, which will end up taking a blurrier selfie. You'll have to turn the phone around, and you won't be able  to see your face as you take the picture, but it's worth the trouble to use the back camera. The picture will appear in reverse, your camera will be visible, and you're likely to end up with a strange glare. Plus, your selfie could appear distorted, since mirror glass doesn't always reflect back a perfectly accurate image. Stretch out your arm, use your wrist to point the camera toward your face, and snap away. It...

Article in English: Having a strong support system is one of the primary factors for successful treatment of schizophrenia. A good support team may consist of mental health professionals, family members, and personal friends and peers who share the diagnosis.  Talk to trusted friends and family members about your symptoms. They may help you navigate mental health care systems to get the treatment you need. Many times, maintaining stable, consistent housing is difficult for people with schizophrenia. If staying with your family is an option during stressful times, consider allowing your family to care for you until your symptoms improve. Housing options, such as group homes or supported living apartments, support people with schizophrenia. The availability of such homes varies widely from state to state. Check with your local National Alliance for Mental Health (NAMI) chapter or other mental health professionals to learn more about these services. Having good, honest communication with a mental health professional will allow you to receive the best level of treatment they can provide. Being honest with your doctor about your symptoms will ensure that you're getting the right dosage of medication, neither too much nor too little.  You can always seek out a second opinion, if you feel that your doctor isn't responsive to your needs. Never discontinue medical treatment without having a back-up plan. Check in with your doctor regarding any questions you may have regarding treatment issues, medication side-effects, persistent symptoms, or other concerns. Your participation is essential towards most effective treatment of your symptoms. Treatment works best when you're working together with your treatment team. The stigma from schizophrenia can be more uncomfortable than the symptoms. In a peer support group, your experience is shared by other members. Attending a group for support has been shown to be one of the most effective ways to minimize the difficulties of living with schizophrenia and other mental illnesses.  Peer support...

Article in English: Having a text conversation about your crush’s day or interests is a good way to show you want to know them better. Just don’t let the conversation drift into more mundane, generic topics, and don’t keep your crush waiting too long before you ask them out. The quicker you pop the question, the more likely you’ll have their full interest and get a good response. If you’re asking your crush to go on a specific date, focus the conversation on that. For example, if you want to take them to a movie, talk with them about a new release. When asking your crush on a date, include a kind comment explaining why you want to go out with them. This will make them feel good and open them up to the idea of a date. Some text ideas include:  “I really like talking with you. Would you like to grab coffee together sometime?” “I’ve been thinking recently, would you like to go see a movie with me?” “You seem really wonderful. Would you be interested in grabbing dinner?” Make sure your crush understands that you want to take them on a date, otherwise they may think you are just inviting them to go out with a group of friends. Use clear phrases like “Want to go out?” instead of vague one like “Want to hang?” If your crush says yes, follow up immediately to make the necessary plans. Look for a day and time that works for both of you, then figure out a place to meet. Have concrete plans in place before you end the text conversation. This will show your crush that you’re interested and prevent confusion down the road. Give them some space and, in a few weeks, talk with them again as just a friend. If your conversation goes well, the dating doors may still be open. In the meantime, make sure to take care of yourself by hanging out with friends, getting out of the house, and staying active.

Article in English: Having a timeless sense of style is as simple as buying some new clothes and getting a good haircut. Becoming a timeless person, however, is another thing entirely — you'll need to attempt the difficult tasks of unfocusing your attention from the here and now and getting a broader perspective on life. To start, try to place less of an importance on the passage of time in the first place. Don't worry about growing old — trying to stay young forever or recapture past glory days will only date you. There are few things more awkward than someone who's aged out of a certain social group trying desperately to stay "cool" in the eyes of the younger members. If you're worried about growing up or aging, it can help to look at the benefits of these things, rather than just the scary and sad parts. For instance, while adults may sometimes fall out of touch with old friends, they also have lots of opportunities to make new ones while devoting their energy to a fulfilling career. Older people also usually have the advantage of maturity and experience over younger people, which can make things that used to seem like a big deal (for instance, peer pressure) seem like no big deal at all. A timeless person has a self-identity that doesn't change depending on what's currently popular. Don't make any conscious choices to redefine yourself based on what other people think. Instead, any change in the way you see yourself should come about naturally and effortlessly over time. Don't look down on yourself if you don't conform exactly to what's popular today. Popularity is fleeting and can change at a moment's notice — the sense of peace you get from being true to yourself, on the other hand, lasts forever. Beware: living your life to be trendy at all costs without considering your true feelings can cause significant problems in the long run: for instance, you may waste time and money trying to get a hold of the latest clothes and consumer goods, you may lose sight of who you truly "are" as a person and suffer identity confusion,...
