Article in English: Whether you're trying to write, paint, or solve a problem, prompts can get you thinking. Sometimes just moving past the blank page is the hardest step, and a prompt will at least get you moving. Prompts don't have to be written. They can be visual, such as a painting or photograph, or even auditory, such as a piece of music.  For instance, maybe you are trying to paint a picture of a depressing time in your life, but you're having trouble getting started. Putting on the right song could help you get in the mood. Another example is a writing prompt, where someone else sets up a scenario or a question that you write on, such as "You find yourself in a dark room with only one window. You have a pencil in your hand and no shoes. How did you get there?" You can find writing prompts in books on writing and on writing websites. Find prompts that involve the 5 senses. Each sense may make you think different feelings or memories. That is, you may often go through your day without really noticing the things around you. You drink your morning coffee without noticing its deep flavor or walk by your office's landscape without noticing the lilies. Try to be more aware of your surroundings. When you notice more, it can spark your imagination, giving you a new perspective. If you always do the same thing, you'll get stuck in a rut. However, just trying a new technique or looking at something from a different perspective can help unlock creativity. Sometimes all it takes is literally moving yourself around the room, such as looking at a project from the floor or from above it. Other times, you may need to take a different approach to encourage your imagination to start running, such as learning a new way to paint or a different way to sew a pattern. Another way to shake things up is to have different experiences. For instance, maybe go to the symphony if you've never been or try a new food. You never know what connections your brain is going to make. That is, instead of beating your head against the wall to get a...

Article in English: Whether you're using a gas or charcoal grill, you'll want it nice and hot by the time you plan to start cooking. Use the directions below to get your grill to the perfect flank steak-grilling temperature:  For gas grills: Light one burner and set it to "high". Allow to sit for several minutes (with the grill's lid closed) before cooking. If possible, leave a second burner off so that there will be space to transfer the meat to for slow-cooking after the initial sear. For charcoal grills: Pour charcoal into the bottom of the grill until the entire bottom surface is covered. If possible, push all of the charcoal to one side so that one half of the grill has no charcoal under it. This portion of the grill will be used for slow cooking after the initial sear. Light the charcoal and allow to burn freely until the flames die down and the charcoal turns mostly grey. The grill surface should be quite hot; you should not be able to hold your hand near the grill for more than a second. When meat cooks on a grill, the characteristic black and brown "sear" that creates a crispy, delicious exterior can't begin to form until the moisture on the outer layer of the meat has evaporated. Since it takes a great deal of energy to evaporate water, grilling meat that's soaking wet is not only an inefficient use of the grill's heat, but also a bad idea for those looking to cook a crispy browned steak. To eliminate the moisture from the surface of the meat, use a dry paper towel to pat it down until it's slightly damp, but not dripping. If you used a dry rub, you may not need to perform this step, as the powdered ingredients will likely have soaked up much of the moisture already and patting with a paper towel can cause the rub to come unstuck from the meat. When your grill is nice and hot, carefully use a grill brush to paint the metal bars with olive oil or vegetable oil above the burner or charcoal. Then, transfer your flank steak to the grill directly onto the spot you just applied oil to. You should hear a noticeable sizzling...

Summary in Russian:

Разожгите гриль. Промакните мясо бумажным полотенцем. Положите стейк на гриль. В первые несколько минут мясо должно «запечататься». Оставшееся время готовьте на медленном огне. Снимите мясо с решетки, когда оно нагреется примерно до 54.5 o C. Если у вас нет кулинарного термометра для мяса, готовность стейка можно определить, отрезав  от него кусочек.


Article in English: Whether you're using a new glass or one of your old favorites, it can accrue a layer of dust or dirt just sitting in storage. Make sure it's sparkly clean -- run it under soapy water and rinse it well. Allow it to adequately dry. You don't want to paint on glass that's streaky or wet. Remove any oil, dirt, soap film, or fingerprints that will mess up your paint work.  Let the glass sit to dry for about 7-10 minutes after rubbing. If you don't have rubbing alcohol, use white vinegar; it has similar cleaning properties. You want a solid 3/4" (2 cm) of your rim to be paint free. As some paint is toxic, it's important not to paint on any surface that could reach your mouth. What's more, the paint will be more likely to deteriorate if it meets drink or your lips. Make sure the tape is even. If it's not perfect, it's super easy to adjust. Use masking or painter's tape for best results.

Article in English: Whether you're using a tall glass or a classic metal cup, popping it in the freezer for a few minutes will keep your milkshake frosty as you sip it. There's no need to stand around – get started on the milkshake while you wait. Using ice cream straight from the freezer can make your milkshake taste dilute, thin, or icy. You'll have much better results if you leave the ice cream out on the counter for about ten minutes, until it's soft and just beginning to melt around the edges.  On a hot day, put the ice cream in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes instead. Heating the ice cream too fast can ruin the texture. This gentle method is best. Skip this step if using frozen yogurt. Add 2  large scoops of the softened ice cream or frozen yogurt to a blender or milkshake maker. Use a large stainless steel bowl instead if you don't have a blender. Add ¼ cup (60 mL) milk for a thick milkshake, or up to a full cup (240 mL) if you prefer a thinner drink. Add ½ cup Chocolate Nesquik powder.  Whole milk makes a richer shake, while low fat or skim milk is a healthier option. For an extremely rich milkshake, also blend in 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 mL) heavy whipping cream. Crushed ice will dilute your milkshake's flavor. Use extra milk instead to thin the shake, and pop the milkshake in the freezer for a few minutes if it's too runny. If you like a thicker shake consistency, start out with 1/4 cup of milk and add more until you are satisfied with the texture. This is easiest with a blender, milkshake maker, or stick blender, on a low setting. If you don't have one of these, burn off some calories in advance with a sturdy whisk. Semi-frozen ice cream is easiest to blend with a series of short pulses, or with a sturdy fork instead of a whisk. If it still won't blend, mash it against the sides with a rubber spatula or flat spoon and try again. Taste before you pour it into the glass, so you have the option to blend in more milk (thinner) or more ice cream (thickener). Serve with a spoon or thick straw and enjoy immediately.

Нарежьте отрезки одинаковой длины.


Article in English: Whether you're writing on paper or a computer, you should first define a problem, write down your options, and then list the pros and cons for each option. Seeing your thoughts in front of you will also help you stop cycling through them in your head. Once you can't think of anything more to write, your mind has done its job, and it's time to stop thinking. If making a list still doesn't help you make a decision, don't be afraid to follow your intuition. If two or more options seem equally appealing, thinking more will not make things clearer. This is when you should listen to something deeper. Instead of lingering over your most persistent thoughts, jot down all of the things on your mind every day. At the end of one week, go over what you've written and make a note of the things that are troubling you the most. You need to deal with those first. Try to write in your diary at least a few times a week. This will help you get used to the idea of a "thinking time" and will help you sit down with your thoughts, instead of having them trouble you throughout the day. Make a list of all the things you have to do on a certain day. Unless "brooding" is on your list of priorities, this will force you to see that you have more important things to do than to sit around pondering the meaning of the universe! The quickest way to organize your thoughts is to put them into something actionable. If you're thinking that you haven't gotten enough sleep lately, make a plan for getting some Z's pronto instead of worrying about it! The list can be practical and can deal with the bigger things, like: "spend more time with my family." This may sound crazy, but picking a time every day for yourself to worry, wonder, be dreamy, and to get lost in your thoughts can help you control your thoughts in a more productive manner. If you need to, give yourself an hour, say, from 5-6:00 every day. Then, try to get the time down to 5-5:30. If an upsetting thought comes up earlier in the day when it's inconvenient to deal with it, just tell...

Составьте список проблем, которые беспокоят вас. Ведите дневник. Составьте список дел, которые вам непременно нужно сделать в течение дня. Установите «время на размышления».


Article in English: Whether you've been married for two years or twenty years, it can easily feel like you and your partner have fallen into a rut. Routines form because they are convenient and they make it easier to navigate your day-to-day life, but falling into ruts and routines in your relationship can slowly kill the romance without you even realizing it.  If you usually eat in most nights, try going out for a date night. If you typically make your own separate meals, try cooking a meal for your partner and eating together. Do something exciting together that you and your spouse wouldn't normally do. It doesn't have to be anything crazy, but it should push you both to have fun and get excited together. Take a romantic vacation together, or just plan a fun and exciting day together - even if it just means going to a carnival or an amusement park. When you and your spouse were dating, you probably flirted with one another all the time. So why did you stop? Most couples get comfortable with one another, which is obviously a good thing. But the downside of getting comfortable is forgetting how to turn on the charm, often because you haven't had to in several months (or even years).  Make eye contact. Smile at your partner and act giggly. Use romantic body language, and mimic your partner's body language.  Stand facing one another, avoid crossing your arms, and lean in towards one another when you speak. Physical contact is an important component of intimacy. Physical contact makes you feel desired, and it can make you feel comfortable and closer with your partner. If you're already very intimate and have a lot of physical contact, then keep doing it. If you've lost that part of your relationship, make an effort to bring it back.  Physical contact doesn't just mean sex (although many people do consider sex a healthy part of marriage). It can mean holding hands, snuggling, embracing, kissing, or any other kind of affectionate contact. Your partner probably wants physical contact as much as you do, but may be too shy or worried...

Article in English: Whether you've bought it brand new or you need to unpack everything inside, making your bag lighter often starts with removing everything and deciding what you really need. Take out and set aside any old work or garbage, and look through your books and other belongings to see what is truly necessary. One piece of paper is light, but thirty or forty pieces of paper are deceptively heavy. Old work piles up, whether it's kept in neatly in folders or just thrown in the back of your bag. Go through the papers and decide what you still need. File or save any old homework or tests that you'll need in the future, then throw the rest away. Receipts, fliers and other garbage tends to accumulate throughout a backpack over time. It gets stuffed in between important things and forgotten, adding to the weight of the bag over time. Go through your bag and remove any unnecessary clutter, throwing it away if it's truly unnecessary. You may have been carrying around old library books or project binders that you completely forgot about. These add a lot of weight to your bag that you don't really need. Try to take out books as soon as you're finished with them or no longer need them for class to help keep your bag's weight down. Carrying a week (or a month's) worth of supplies can add weight and make your bag extra heavy. Think about what you actually use on a daily basis: how much paper, how many pens, how much makeup, what kind of gym supplies. Remove extra or excess amounts of these items. You'll want your heaviest items, like textbooks, packed closer to your spine. The further out you pack them, the more they'll pull your spine in that direction, causing bad posture or even injury. The more you can distribute the weight throughout your backpack, the lighter your bag will seem. Since the weight won't just be resting in one spot, your body will be carrying the load more evenly. Try to utilize all of the compartments and zipped pouches, especially those on the sides and near your shoulders.

Summary in Russian:

Достаньте из рюкзака вещи. Избавьтесь от ненужных бумаг. Избавьтесь от завалов мусора. Достаньте старые книги и папки. Подумайте, что вам потребуется завтра. Складывайте тяжелые вещи ближе к спинке. Используйте все отделения.


Article in English: Whether you've just gotten your tattoo or have had it for longer than you'd like, using salt to remove a tattoo is a dangerous proposition. Here's why:  Your skin has effectively two layers — the dermis, or inner part of the skin, and the epidermis, or outer layer of your skin. When you get a tattoo, the ink travels past the epidermis, or superficial layer of skin, and into the dermis. Rubbing salt onto the epidermis is easy but useless. You need to get the salt into the dermis; even if you did manage to rub away the top layer of your skin to get at the ink, it's probably not going to end well. Rubbing your tattoo with salt will give you a pretty nasty road rash. It may also cause pigmentation of the skin, wrinkling, and possibly scarring. Know that doing this procedure at home can have significant adverse consequences, and may make your tattoo look even worse. Although there is a dermatological procedure that uses salt as a slight abrasive, there is probably one glaring reason why salt is thought to be a good tattoo eraser. When you get a tattoo, you're told not to submerge your tattoo in water, especially in salt water. If you're not supposed to soak your tattoo in salt water if you want to keep it, maybe you could soak your tattoo in salt water if you didn't? That's the reasoning at least. Soaking your tattoo in salt water, in fact, will only cause the ink to disperse, run, or possibly fade. It won't cause your tattoo to magically vanish. It's likely your tattoo will look worse after you soak it in salt water if your tattoo is newly inked. If you've had your tattoo for several weeks or longer, it's likely that submerging your tattoo in salt water will have no effect. Trying DIY salt abrasion, also called salabrasion, is probably not the best idea. As mentioned earlier, you're likely to hurt yourself and do more harm than good. But there are professional procedures out there that use salabrasion, and some of them can be promising.  According to a German study in the National Institute of Health database,...

Будьте очень осторожны с солью. Откуда пошел этот миф? Соль используется в дерматологических процедурах, таких, как салабразия.


Article in English: Whether your best friend embraced your romantic feelings or rejected your advances, the two of you need to figure out where your friendship stands.  Set boundaries with one another moving forward, so that you’re on the same page. For instance, if she didn’t feel the same way, you might set a boundary that you no longer hang out with her alone. You might also choose to take a break from the friendship before deciding how to move forward. Although it may be hard to see, your best friend doesn’t have a monopoly on attractiveness, humor, compassion, or intelligence. There are plenty of others in your life that possess those positive traits, too.Make an effort to notice the good qualities in others. Bonus points: tell them about the good you see in them— it’ll make both of you happier.

Установите личные границы. Попробуйте разглядеть в окружающих вас людях те качества, которые вам нравятся в вашей подруге.


Article in English: Whether your body is swollen from an injury or poor circulation, it is best to allow the swollen area a bit of time to rest. If you have a swollen foot or ankle, try not to use it in a strenuous way for at least a few days, until the swelling goes down.  If you have an injured foot, consider using crutches or a cane to take the pressure off the swollen area. If you have a swollen arm caused by an injury, use the other arm to perform tasks, or ask for help from someone else. Any time you are sitting or lying down, prop up the swollen area on pillows, above the level of your heart. This prevents blood from collecting in the swollen area and aids in circulation.  Use a sling to keep your arm elevated if necessary. If the swelling is severe, make a point of sitting down and elevating the swollen body part for a few hours. High temperatures will make swelling worse, so do your swelling a favor by applying a cold compact. Avoid applying ice directly to the skin, but wrap an ice pack in a towel and apply to the swollen area. Do this for 15 minutes at a time, several times a day. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are medications that decrease pain and swelling. The most common variants are ibuprofen (common brands include Motrin/Actifen/Brufen/Advil) and naproxen (Aleve/Xanbid/Flexin). Note that acetaminophen(Tylenol/Panadol) is not an NSAID and will not reduce swelling. Talk to your doctor about what the best medication for your situation may be. Taking CBD oil can also help with pain and inflammation.

Article in English: Whether your relationship is just starting out or you’ve been together a while, it’s always important to talk to each other. Get to know one another through conversation. Ask about their day, or what’s on their mind. Tell them about what’s bothering you and confide in them. The most basic communication is necessary and effective in strengthening your bond with your partner. If you feel like there’s distance between you and your partner, let them know. Talking to them about how you’re feeling can help bridge the gap. Say something like, “I feel like we aren’t as close as we used to be. What can we do to fix this?” Even if you feel like you already know everything about your partner, there is always more to learn. Ask them about their dreams, goals, and ideas. Listen intently and respond thoughtfully. Ask them how they feel about your relationship, and if they think there is any area that could use some work. By asking them meaningful, important questions, you will not only show them you care enough to learn more about them and their thoughts, but you will also be working on strengthening your relationship. Some other questions you might consider are: what traits do you value most in a partner? When was the last time you felt really disappointed? Where do you see yourself in five or ten years? What’s something that always makes you happy? It’s important to talk about your everyday lives with one another, but it’s also important to go deeper than that in your conversations. Try to set aside time each day to have a real, meaningful conversation with your partner. Maybe there is something on your mind that you need to discuss, or maybe your partner has been under some stress at work and might want to unload. Keep that space open for real conversation, and make it a point to engage with one another on that level as often as possible. Try talking about your feelings, either for one another or in general. Having emotional discussions can lead to a sense of vulnerability and trust, which can bring you closer together....

Разговаривайте друг с другом. Задавайте важные вопросы. Проводите более глубокие и содержательные обсуждения. Оставляйте друг другу любовные записки. Подумайте о том, чтобы обратиться за помощью к психотерапевту. Делитесь своими заботами и радостями.


Article in English: Whether your spouse stays faithful in the future is entirely up to them. No matter how carefully you check up on them, if your spouse wants to cheat again, they will find a way. Likewise, if they are committed to fixing their mistake, you won't have to try to control them. Remind yourself that you have proven through this process that you can take care of yourself and survive no matter what happens. Sit down with your spouse and think about what you want your relationship to look like in the future. Make some step-by-step plans for turning your goals into reality. Working towards a common target puts you and your spouse on the same team, helping you to rebuild camaraderie and trust. It's valid for you to request access to your spouse's phone and online activity after they cheat on you. However, they still have a right to privacy. Talk with your spouse about how you will balance privacy and accountability in the future. If your spouse remains secretive about their online or phone activity, consider whether they are really committed to helping you trust them again. No one is a mind reader, and it's easy to imagine problems where there are none. Focus on the facts. Don't let yourself get caught up in fears that your spouse is planning to cheat on you again unless there's a concrete reason.  Do a reality check with yourself when your imagination runs away with you. Stop and ask yourself, “Why am I thinking this? Is there a more likely explanation?” Also, remind yourself that if they are cheating, then they will likely mess up and get caught again. You don't have to constantly be on the lookout, so allow yourself to let go of this responsibility.

Article in English: Whether your teen is struggling with feeling anxious or has an anxiety disorder, establishing a safe place for your teen to confide in you will help you help your teen cope with anxiety. Your teen should know you're there for him or her at all times. Let your teen know that you're always available to talk and will support him or her unconditionally.  Teenage years are a time when many children seek independence. Teens may feel alienated and pressured if you ask a lot of questions about their mood or social life. Try to provide support without pressuring your teen to share information with you he or she wants to keep private. Refrain from interrogating your teen. Instead of asking about what is bothering him or her, say something like, "If you need to talk to me about anything, I'm always here to listen." Allow your teen to open up to you at his or her own will. Your teen may shut you out at first. Anxiety and feelings of sadness and stress are hard to talk about at any age. However, be persistent and let your teen know that you love him or her and that you really want to help.  For example, you might say something like, "I understand that this is difficult to talk about, but I love you and I want to help." Having a process for making decisions may help your teen to deal with anxiety by making tough decisions seem more manageable. Work through problems with your tee to help him or her develop and improve problem solving skills.  Help your teen work through problems by teaching them about the problem-solving process. There are different versions of the process, but they generally boil down to the following six steps:  Identify the problem. List the options and possible outcomes of each. (Both positive and negative outcomes, including potential effects on others.) Compare the options. Choose the best option. Make a plan to follow through with the option. Reflect on the problem and its solution. What worked? What would you change?    For example, your teen might identify a poor test grade as the problem, then...

Article in English: Whether you’re a beard-styling expert or this is you're first time growing a beard, your face is your canvas - start fresh. Have a clean shave and then wait a week for your hair to even out. Your face is ready for the Van Dyke when your stubble has grown out to about ¼ inch.  For some people it may take more than a week for the hair to grow back in. If you’re patient, you’ll be rewarded with a better-looking Van Dyke. If you’re reluctant to start from scratch, you can create the Van Dyke from facial hair that already exists. However, it’s much more difficult to control the final outcome when you aren’t working with fresh hair. Go ahead and apply it all over your chin, above your lip, and up to your sideburns. Begin by shaving your sideburns and cheeks. Start near your ears and remove your sideburns, as well as most of the hair on your cheeks, leaving approximately 2 inches (5.1 cm) to both sides of your mouth. Shave the hair from the bottom and sides of your neck, stopping just above your Adam’s apple. Leave your moustache and soul patch intact. The end result is what’s called a “circle beard,” a still common style that was popular in the 1990s. Wash away any excess hair or shaving cream. The precision work is about to begin, and you need to be able to see what you’re doing. At this point, it’s helpful to use just enough shaving cream to guide your razor, without covering up all your hair. Carefully trim the hair from your neck until you are left with a small, neat beard, resembling a goatee. Scissors or an electric razor will help you control the overall shape and definition of your chin hairs. Classically, the Van Dyke beard is somewhat pointed; wax will help your hair retain its shape. Leave the skin around your soul patch (if you grow one) completely smooth. Measure twice, cut once, as a single errant swipe could force you to start all over again. Like the chin beard, the classic Van Dyke mustache is pointed and very neat. Make sure you didn’t miss any visible hairs. Run your hand over your cheeks and...

Summary in Russian:

Начинайте с полностью выбритого лица. Нанесите крем для бритья. Сделайте круглую бороду. Умойте лицо. Сделайте аккуратную козлиную бородку (эспаньолку). Отделите усы от бороды на подбородке. Подрежьте усы ножницами или электробритвой. Еще раз умойте лицо.


Article in English: Whether you’re attacking for a spike or defending with a block, the correct footwork will maximize the height of your jump. Your footwork will depend on your dominant hand. If you are going up to spike the ball, plant your second foot facing sideways and take off facing parallel to the net. Making your last two steps fast and explosive will significantly help your vertical leap.  Use 3 steps to explode into your jump to improve your accuracy. For right-handed players, use a left, right, left, jump technique. Your spike approach should include one big step and one small step to bring your trailing foot in line with your leading one. The height you get on each jump partly comes from the timing of your arms. Accelerate your arm swing as you bring your second foot forward - remember, you're not swinging forward, you're swinging up. The combination of planting your second foot a little bit in front of your first and then swinging your arms upwards will stop your forward momentum and transfer it to upwards momentum. A quick, aggressive approach with your arms swinging completely back and up will drive your body into the air.  Move your arms in the direction that you want to go. Force your arms downward as you squat to initiate your base. As you explode into your jump, reverse the direction of your arms and push them above your head as fast as you can. As you reach the apex of your jump, your hands and body will have uncoiled into the highest point of your jump. If you are following the left, right, left, jump technique, throw your hands back and turn your palms to the ceiling on the right step. While you are in the air, come through with your non-dominant hand. The hand you're hitting with will usually be the dominant hand. As you advance in the sport, adjust your footwork and coordination for different attacking and defending positioning. Turning your body to hit the ball will allow you to engage your core when you spike creating greater force upon impact. By using your whole body this way, you will be able to hit...

Article in English: Whether you’re interested in a serious romance or a more casual fling, let them know what you want in no uncertain terms. Although Scorpios are eager to meet their soulmate, they will often accept chemistry as they find it, whether it be with a longterm partner or a friend with benefits. Avoid confusion and hurt feelings by asking them exactly what they’re seeking from you and by stating your own expectations. " If they seem to lose interest after the first date or two (or fail to respond to your signals to begin with), they may have genuinely lost interest, or they may be so interested that they’ve backed off to rethink their strategy, especially if you’re already friends with a risk of losing you altogether if things don’t work out. If it’s the former, accept it, because there’s not much you can do to change their mind. If it’s the latter, assure them that you really do want to move forward. Scorpios are prone to mood swings, so brace yourself. When something’s wrong, expect them to fly off the handle one minute and freeze you out the next. Stay calm and collected, because what they need is someone who’s more grounded. Avoid mirroring their behavior and making things worse. When they shut you out, gently probe for the reason why. Scorpios expect such a strong connection between the two of you, they think you should be able to figure out what’s wrong on your own. If you have no idea what’s up, ask them what’s wrong. The longer you let silences grow, the more they might resent your inability to suss out what’s wrong on top of whatever was bothering them in the first place. When they rage out, bite your tongue. You don’t have to accept what they say or let them win the fight, but ensure that you’ll be heard by remaining calm. Avoid being drawn into a screaming match and escalating the situation. Let them get it all out, and then reply with calm, measured responses. Scorpios love to be in control and tend to be jealous and possessive. If this causes them to cross a line, call them out on it. The best ones may...

Article in English: Whether you’re introducing yourself to a cute barista or just meeting some new interesting people at a coffee shop, the key to being fun is being up for whatever a new person has to say. This is the only way to open up yourself to new people and experiences and to have even more fun in the process.  Even if the person is completely different from you, you should have fun and embrace those differences instead of just staying in your comfort zone. Every person has something to teach you and the more people you know, the more knowledge you can gain. Don’t ever look at a new person as not a worthy investment or a waste of your time. Just say hi, introduce yourself, and ask the person a question or two about himself. You can keep the tone lighthearted as you get to know the person better.

Article in English: Whether you’re meeting her for the first time or you don’t know her well, but you have mutual friends, just be friendly and sure of yourself.  A simple “It’s very nice to meet you.” is a great opener in this situation. Remember that in this situation she’s in the same place as you. So don’t feel like you need to one-up her (or anyone else there) or act like someone you aren’t. Just be yourself. Remember that you don’t know this girl very well or at all, so reading her body language can give you a good indication of her comfort level. Trying to embrace her with a hug may be too forward if you two aren't close.  You can offer to shake her hand if she seems open to it, or even just give a friendly wave. Be polite. Like the saying goes, “You catch more flies with honey.” In this scenario you're probably making a first or second impression. Trying to show off or joking with her like you might a good friend could offend her. Don’t overdo it though by smiling too big or being too enthusiastic. Acting too eager to meet her or greet her could make her uncomfortable and make you look like you’re coming on too strong. If you’re greeting her in a group of friends, hopefully your friends will properly introduce you, but if you're not introduced, politely ask her name and offer yours.  When you learn her name repeat it back to her when you tell her yours. Making eye contact and using her name can also help you to remember it better. There’s a reason that people are drawn to comedians and funny people, as laughter can be comforting. When you greet a girl you may not know all that well, some humor will show her that you’re comfortable with yourself (even if you’re nervous) and not a rude person.  Using humor is a great approach when greeting a girl because it can ease any tension. If you’re shy or nervous you can use a little bit of self-deprecating humor to break any tension and make her feel more comfortable around you. Joke about your appearance or the situation. "I'm glad [name of mutual friend] dragged me to this, I had...

Не забывайте об уверенности в себе. Следите за ее жестами. Улыбайтесь ей. Узнайте ее имя. Используйте юмор при знакомстве. Не следует чересчур затягивать приветствие.


Article in English: Whether you’re picking your date up or taking separate cars, make sure to arrive at the time you agreed upon. If possible, show up a couple of minutes early. Though being tardy by a minute or 2 will not make a huge difference, anything more will start your date off on the wrong foot. If you think you will be late for reasons outside of your control, such as slow traffic, let your date know via text message. To make a good first impression, be kind to your date and everybody else you interact with. Do your best to stay positive throughout the night and, if you get angry or sad, do your best not to show it. Avoid saying anything cruel even if you mean it as a joke since it will make you appear rude and unkind.  You don’t have to follow a specific set of etiquette rules, just avoid doing things that make you look mean. If you’re at a restaurant, make sure to use good table manners when eating. To avoid coming off as callous, be polite to your server and leave a generous tip. If you’re going to a place that serves alcohol, don’t drink more than you can handle. Getting drunk is the easiest way to ensure your date never calls back. A first date is all about getting to know each other, so try to be as open and honest as possible. Putting on a face will only lead to further problems down the road, so use your conversations as a way to show your date who you really are.  Though you shouldn’t try to be someone you’re not, save sensitive subjects like your sexual desires, previous relationships, and personal struggles for a later time. Though most people consider religious and political topics off-limits, they may be worth bringing up if you think it could be a problem down the road. To see if you truly click with your date, try asking them questions about the thing they care about most: themselves. Not only will this teach you more about who they are, but it will keep you from coming off as self-centered. Make sure to actually listen to what they say and respond appropriately. Some good things to ask about include: ...

Article in English: Whether you’re planning a wedding, a family reunion or a simple barbecue, you’ll want your lanterns to fit with a theme. White lanterns work well for weddings, while bright colors will brighten up a summer party. Search online for the perfect kind to fit your theme.  Pick a holiday-specific color scheme. Christmas events generally feature red and green, while Easter parties use pastel colors like light pink, light purple and light yellow. Look for event-specific lanterns. Some paper lanterns have printed patterns specifically for holidays, like Menorahs for Hanukkah, hearts for Valentines day, or pumpkins for Halloween. If you're having a party to celebrate a game day, use colors from the sports team your group favors. Parties can be held in a variety of different venues: tents, picnic shelters, even boats. You’ll need to find fasteners that work for your situation, and most importantly, they’ll have to be easy to remove. Think about using adhesive hooks, or try tying your lanterns directly to rafters or tent supports. Decide the placement of the lanterns and the heights at which they’ll hang. Look online for ideas to match the setup that you are planning for. Sites like Pinterest have many example photos to help your creativity along. Consider hanging them high up above your guests’ heads where they won’t be in anyone’s way.  Tie lanterns across beams or supports. If your event setting has a shelter or tent, hang lanterns across the supports to create a large canopy of lights. Tie lanterns in bunches. Bunched lanterns hanging at different heights create great focal points at your party. Choose a point on a beam or support and tie five to ten lanterns in the same area, all at different heights. Try mixing the sizes of the lanterns to make your bunch even more eclectic feeling. Light a path with lanterns. Hang the paper lanterns low to the ground on short poles to create a cool effect. Use poles made for hanging potted plants, or make your own small poles with hooks. Then place the poles along a path or...

Article in English: Whether you’re taking prescription medication or wanting to combine over-the-counter cold and flu remedies, consult a pharmacist or health professional to avoid any negative reactions. For example, if you’re taking antidepressants, sleeping pills, or anti-anxiety drugs, avoid over-the-counter medications containing antihistamines that make you sleepy. The combination can have harmful side effects and can also be lethal in some cases. Not all over-the-counter medications will help you sleep better. Also, many sleep medications and pain killers help you fall asleep but reduce the quality of your sleep. Avoid cold and flu medications that contain pseudoephedrine or ephedrine.  If you have to take these medications, take them 2 or 3 hours before you plan on going to sleep. Take these decongestants when you know you will be awake and medicines that have drowsiness-causing painkillers or antihistamines when you want to sleep. While nasal sprays can decongest your nose for 8 hours or more, they may also contain stimulants that make it difficult for you to sleep.  Look for nasal sprays with oxymetazoline or xylometazoline to best open the breathing passage in your nose. Oxymetazoline and xylometazoline are not stimulants so they won't keep you up at night. Nose strips mechanically open up the nasal passages, so thus they have no stimulating effect as well. While your appetite may decrease, ensure you don’t get dehydrated by drinking plenty of fluids. High-calorie drinks, like hot chocolate or Ovaltine, can signal our bodies to go into sleep mode. Research has shown that a hot cordial can aid in many cold and flu symptoms like sneezing and coughing. Get rid of distractions like a tv, computer, or other electronic devices. Also, regulate a comfortable temperature as keeping your room cool will aid with sleeping. Dry-humidifiers and vaporizers may help with your breathing while keeping the atmosphere of your room conducive to sleeping.

Article in English: Whether you’re writing the next Great American Novel or a scientific journal article, becoming familiar with examples of excellent writing in your genre will help you improve your own writing. Read and understand the works of great and influential writers to learn what is possible with the written word and what readers respond to best. By immersing yourself in works by good writers, you will expand your vocabulary, build knowledge, and feed your imagination.  Look for different ways of organizing a piece of writing or presenting a narrative. Try comparing different author's approaches to the same subject to see how they are alike and how they differ. For example, Tolstoy's Death of Ivan Ilych, and Hemingway's The Snows of Kilimanjaro. Remember that even if you’re writing nonfiction or academic writing, reading examples of great writing will improve your own. The more familiar you are with the many ways it’s possible to communicate ideas, the more varied and original your own writing can become. You might not realize it, but books, movies and other media are filled with references and homages to great literature. By reading some classics, you will build a body of cultural knowledge that will better inform your own writing. It's possible to read a novel like The Catcher in the Rye and not "get it" or see its value immediately. If this happens, try reading an essay or two about the piece to learn why it was so influential and effective. You may discover layers of meaning that you missed. Understanding what makes great writing great is one of the best ways to grow your own skills. This applies for nonfiction and academic writing too. Take some examples of work by well-respected authors in your field and take them apart. What do they have in common? How do they work? What are they doing that you could do yourself? Plays were written to be performed. If you find that you just don’t “get” a work of literature, find a performance of it. If you can’t find a performance, read the work aloud. Get yourself into the heads...

Article in English: Whether you’ve dropped your phone in the toilet, bathtub, or a lake, the first step is to get it out of the water ASAP. The longer you leave your phone in the water, the more water damage it will absorb. Leaving the phone in water for a longer period of time will allow water to soak into and saturate more of the interior electrical components. Before you take any steps to dry off the outside surfaces of the phone, pull out the electrical components. Open the phone case and pull out the battery and the SIM card. If you’ve inserted a micro SD card into your phone, pull that out as well. The interior components are crucial to the phone’s functions. If they get saturated with water, the phone won’t work. Blowing on the electrical parts of your phone will remove the majority of water from them. Wiping the phone parts down with a clean, dry towel will remove any remaining moisture on the parts’ surface. You should only rely on drying agents to remove residual moisture that’s worked its way into the components of your phone. Instead of blowing on the phone components, you could also shake them rapidly back and forth through the air. Be careful not to inadvertently throw your battery across the room, though.

Article in English: Whether you’ve experienced nightmares that have been waking you up at night or overall insomnia, a disrupted sleeping pattern can signal stress and a feeling of anxiety. Monitor your sleep in the last six weeks. Have you noticed a difference? Do you sleep significantly less?  Use sleeping pills with caution. Their usefulness is debated and there are accidental deaths linked to them. Never use them without talking to your doctor. There are several reasons for which you might not sleep. Make sure your mattress is good and your bedroom dark. You should also talk about your sleeping problems with your doctor. You might be suffering from a condition such as sleep apnea. You don’t deal with stress as well as you used to and you feel more fragile. Each deadline is a source of major anxiety and you don’t know how to cope anymore. If you notice a negative evolution in your stress tolerance, it's probably time to act.  A lower tolerance to stress than usual is usually a sign of exhaustion or burnout.  Don’t feel guilty and don’t lose faith in your ability to work if you’re more stressed than usual. We all have ups and downs. If you work in an abusive environment where the boss is using stress as a tool to increase productivity, a day off will not help. You should talk to your trade-union or HR and see if the law is on your side. Those who know you the best, your family and friends, will probably notice if you're in desperate need for a break. Talk with them about your stress and ask them for their opinion. If you have a strong relationship, they will give you the best advice. Remember that communication is fundamental in a relationship. If you have been fighting with your partner recently, explain that you feel pressurised at work and are struggling. Let your partner express his/her feelings too. It’s important to realise that a stressed person is difficult to live with. A day off is ideal to relax but not enough when you have a serious physical or mental condition. You should talk to a doctor or a specialist if you...

Article in English: Whether you’ve hired someone to model for you or you’re photographing a family member, think ahead about what you’d like your model to wear. Is this a dressy shoot, or a casual one? Keep in mind that people look best in pictures when they’re comfortable in what they’re wearing.  Consider asking your model to be ready to change into several different outfits. If you’re taking graduation photos of your daughter, for example, you may want to have pictures of her wearing her graduation dress, her favorite outfit, and her basketball uniform. Gather props to go with the different looks. Hair and makeup are also important components when it comes to creating a professional effect. Remember makeup doesn’t show up as well in photos as it does in person, so you may want your model to wear a brighter shade of lipstick or a tad more eyeliner than normal.

Article in English: Which constellations you can see depends on your latitude and season. A star chart can tell you what you can find. Look for one that is designed for your location and time of year.  Some common constellations found near the Milky Way include Sagittarius, Alpha Centauri, Cygnus, and the Magellanic Clouds. You can buy a star chart at a planetarium, science museum, or online. You  can also get apps, like Stellarium or SkyGuide, that will download star charts to your phone automatically. Find the Milky Way with your naked eye first and point the lens towards it. Then look through the viewer to see individual stars and galaxies up close. Any size of binoculars or telescope will work. With a higher magnification or aperture, you will be able to see more detail, but you can still pick out individual stars with a low magnification. with a digital camera. A photograph will capture the galaxy's magnificent colors and stars. To get a good picture, change the settings in your camera to a long exposure. Attach the widest lens you have. For the best results, place the camera on a tripod. Point the lens so that you have the widest view of the sky as possible before taking the picture.  If you can, adjust the shutter speed based on the size of your lens. Divide 500 by the diameter of your lens. Use the result to set the shutter speed. For example, if your lens is 25mm, then you should set your shutter speed to 20 seconds. You may need to adjust the contrast later to get the best results.

Article in English: Which one you choose all depends on time. If you're growing dragon fruit from seeds, it could be two years or so before your plant bears any fruit. If you grow from the cuttings of a stem, it could take much less time (depending on how large your cutting is).  Growing from seed isn't harder, for the record. It just takes more time. Professional growers sell dragon fruit plants that are ready to be transplanted to your garden. Just be careful as you're taking them out of the pot, to ensure that you don't damage the seedlings. Believe it or not, dragon fruit can grow just fine in containers. If you do use a container, use one that's 15" to a 24" in diameter, and at least 10"+ deep, fitted with a climbing pole. However, the plant will likely eventually grow to a point that it needs a bigger pot, so be prepared to transplant it when that happens.  If your plant is going to be outside (whether it's in a container or not), choose a place that's at least partly sunny. The roots can be in the shade, but the tips of the plant need to be in the sun to bloom.  If you live in a warm area with a long, warm growing season, this plant could sustain being outside. They can generally handle a very light frost, but that's it. If your area has a decent winter, bring it inside. After all, technically this plant is a cactus. The last thing you want to use is a wet, mucky soil. They are light feeders that don't need a lot of nutrient love. Plant them in an area of your garden where water doesn't tend to pool. If you get a lot of rainfall in your area, plant the dragon fruit plant on a hill or mound, so that the water drains away. If you're planting in a container, grab a large one with drainage holes at the bottom. If you don't have cactus soil available, you can come up with your own by using a mixture of sand, potting soil, and compost. Fill it up a few inches (7cm) away from the brim of the pot.

Article in English: Whichever route you go, choose a small, innocuous area to test the method.  You don't need to test the ink-removal aspect of the method.  Just test the cleaning method to ensure that you will not damage or otherwise mark the surface you're hoping to clean. Don't rub too aggressively, as materials like cotton and baking soda have some abrasion potential and may damage some surfaces. Remember to clean the area from which you remove a stain with a water-dampened cloth or paper towel. Mix baking soda with water until you have enough spreadable paste to cover the ink-stained desk or table. Baking soda can be used on almost anything, including laminate, metal, plastic, wood, and glass.  Spread the paste thickly over the stain and rub it in with your fingertips or a toothbrush. Use a clean, damp cloth to gently scrub the are to remove the paste. Don't scrub too aggressively, as this may scratch the surface of various materials. Repeat the steps if necessary. Wipe the area clean with a cotton ball moistened with rubbing alcohol. Toothpaste with baking soda in it works especially well. Coat the area healthily and gently smooth the toothpaste over the surface of the stained area.  Wipe the toothpaste away with a water-dampened cloth. Wipe gently, so as not to scratch softer surfaces. If any toothpaste remains, wipe it away with a cotton ball moistened with rubbing alcohol. If the table or desk is wood, allow the paste to set for 10-15 minutes. For other surfaces, a shorter period of time will likely suffice. The cleaning strength of acetone is so well known it's used to remove nail polish!  It will likely readily remove your ink stain as well.  Place a cotton ball on the opening of a bottle of nail polish remover and shake gently to allow the cotton ball to absorb the liquid. Gently rub the ink stain until the ink is lifted. Take extra care when using acetone or nail polish remover.  Wear gloves and remember to test the surface for colorfastness. Acetone can be used to clean metal, glass, plastic, and even leather....

Article in English: While "félicitations" works in a wide variety of situations, you may want something more specific occasionally.  "Good work/job" → "Bon travail!"  "Great success/Good Luck" (used interchangeably) → "Bonne réuissite."  Give my compliments to ____" → "Addressez tous mes compliments à ____" This is the same as saying "She congratulates you." Luckily, the translation is not too difficult. "Félicitations" means congratulations, and "féliciter" means "to congratulate." Remember that, in French, the subject of the person you congratulate must come before the verb, unlike in English. Thus:  "I want to congratulate you." → "Je veux vous féliciter." "The President congratulates him." → "Le Président le félicite." Add "pour" to make specific congratulations: "They congratulate you on the win" &rarr: "Ils vous félicitent pour le victoire." Just like in English, you can use some slang terms to tell someone you're proud of them. This gives you variety, instead of always saying "félicitations."  "Bravo!" much like in English, expresses awe at a job well done. "Chapeau," which translates to "hat" in English, is used in place of "hats off to you." It may, however, seem a little old-fashioned.

Article in English: While "stuck" and "dead" are often used interchangeably for malfunctioning pixels, stuck pixels can be fixed while dead pixels cannot be fixed. If your pixel is displaying a specific color other than black or it changes color based on the background, it is most likely stuck.  Dead pixels are either black or white all the time, regardless of what's on the screen. White pixels are actually called "hot" pixels, but they're principally identical to dead pixels. If you determine that your monitor has a dead pixel, you'll need to either take it into a repair department or replace the screen. You can also generally get it replaced if it's still under warranty. Pixels display a combination of red, blue, and green that's contingent on your screen's contents. A pixel might get stuck for any number of reasons, including overuse of the screen or long bouts of intense on-screen colors; when a pixel gets stuck, it displays one color that may alter slightly as the pixels around it change color. Again, a dead pixel will never change its color, regardless of the status of the surrounding pixels. Many manufacturers will replace your monitor if it has a certain number of stuck or dead pixels. If your monitor is still covered under warranty, your best option is to take advantage of the warranty rather than trying to fix the monitor itself. You can still try the software fix method since it's noninvasive. If the pixel recently got stuck, leaving your monitor off for a full day may correct the problem. This isn't a guaranteed fix; however, a stuck pixel is often symptomatic of overuse, meaning that your monitor should be shut down for a while in order to prevent further damage anyway. Unplug the monitor as well. Even if your monitor's warranty has expired, paying a professional to repair your monitor may be cheaper than buying a new monitor in the event that you accidentally break it while trying to fix it. Stuck pixels often disappear after a period of time, though the time-frame can vary from days to years. If you just have one...

Article in English: While Emerald is sorely lacking in the Eevee department, FireRed and LeafGreen both have a way you can get the Pokemon. If you want to get Eevee without resorting to cheating, you'll need to start a game of either and get at least as far as Celadon City. It's important to keep in mind you'll need to have collected at least 60 Pokémon and completed the Sevii Islands sidequest to open up trading. Once you've opened up the possibility for the Trade Centre, it's time to find Eevee. Eevee may be found in the Pokémon Mansion in Celadon City. Go to Celadon City, and enter the mansion via the backdoor. Get to the roof; on the roof, you'll find a room. Inside, you'll find Eevee's Pokeball. In order to trade, you'll need too Game Boy Advances, a copy of Emerald and FireRed or LeafGreen, and a game link cable to join the two. Get it all plugged in before you try to access the Trade Center. Ask a friend to borrow his Game Boy Advance; this will save you having to purchase another console in order to make the trade. With the two devices hooked up, you can now head to Vermillion City and access the Trading Center. Go up to the desk and speak to the hostess. From there, you can access the trade panel. Ensure the game link cable is joining the two consoles safely, then proceed to make the trade. The data will be erased on the LeafGreen/FireRed game, and copied onto Emerald. Now that you've made the trade, it's always good form to look on your Emerald file and make sure the file has gone through. If the trade has been made, you should see a little Eevee smiling back at you! If for some reason the Eevee isn't there, it's quite possible the trade wasn't completed. It's highly unlikely that one game would erase it without copying on the other, so try again and you should be able to get it down right.

Article in English: While Persians have been bred for their unique looks, this same breeding has also led them to become predisposed to certain diseases. While there is nothing you can do to prevent your cat from getting the disease is she is genetically prone, you can watch for signs of these diseases and have your cat treated as soon as she develops the condition. This genetic fault affects one in three Persian cats and results in the formation of multiple fluid-filled cysts within the kidney that can lead to renal disease. Once the problem i identified your pet’s lifespan can be extended by prescription renal diets and medications such as ACE inhibitors which can aid the filtering capacity of the kidneys. Symptoms include:  Drinking more than normal. Reduced appetite. Lethargy. Weight loss. Vomiting. If you recognize these signs in your pet then take her to a veterinarian. This disease causes the heart wall to become thickened which then impairs the heart’s ability to pump blood around the body. Luckily, there are drugs such as diuretics and ACE inhibitors that can decrease the workload on the heart and increase longevity. Signs that your pet has heart disease are vague and non-specific. However, you can look out for things like:  Exercise intolerance. Sleeping more than normal. Lack of interest in food or grooming herself. Shallow breathing and breathing through an open mouth. PRA is a genetically programmed thinning of the retina that eventually leads to blindness. Whilst it sounds distressing, cats are actually very good at compensating for blindness. They are adept at using their whiskers, sense of smell, and hearing to move around. If your cat does go blind, it is generally best to keep her indoors and avoid rearranging the furniture, as she could become disoriented. Signs of blindness include:  Bumping into objects left in her path that are not normally there. Pupils that cease forming slits in bright light, and will remain large and black.

Article in English: While South Carolina is the only state that has outlawed tobacco screens entirely it's important to know that more than half the states in the United States have provisions in place that prevent employers from establishing hiring practices or incorporating punishment based on your activities outside of work, including tobacco use. If you live in one of the 29 states with these provisions in place, you don't need to submit for a tobacco screen willfully.  Click here for a state-by-state breakdown of tobacco screening laws. "Tobacco tests" are usually performed by screening for cotinine, and are usually some combination of mouth swabs, urinalysis, and blood testing. Cotinine is the primary metabolite of nicotine. Nicotine leaves the body in a few hours, but cotinine has a longer half-life, and is usually present for up to a week.  Cotinine has a half-life of 16 hours, meaning that half of all the trace leaves your body every 16 hours, or so. If you're a light smoker, most of it should be gone in 48 hours, depending on how much you smoke, but most tests will pick up trace amounts, especially in the mouth swab. Cotinine tests screen for smokable as well as smokeless tobacco, including vape pens and other e-cigarettes. Depending on how much you smoke, there's no way of knowing how much time you'll need to be all the way in the clear, but with the right combination of techniques, you can be fairly confident that you'll pass if you stop using any kind of nicotine 3-4 days before your test for lighter smokers and 5-7 days for heavier smokers. Read the next section to learn how to quit for a week, or more.  If you smoke in excess of a pack a day, may need to quit smoking farther out ahead of your test. It can't ever hurt to stop earlier, if possible. If you're a social smoker, or only smoke occasionally, just make sure you quit a few days leading up to the test and you should be fine. Any time you've got to pass a urine screen and you're worried about cutting it close, start increasing the amount of fluids you're...

Article in English: While a hoarse voice is usually a minor—and temporary—inconvenience, in some instances it can be a sign of a more serious medical condition. If your voice is hoarse and scratchy for 2 weeks or longer, make an appointment with your primary care physician. Your doctor may refer you to an ears, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist, depending on the nature and severity of your laryngitis. Tell the doctor about any symptoms that have accompanied your hoarse voice. Symptoms like a sore throat, dry cough, or tickle in the back of your throat aren’t concerning. Potentially problematic symptoms include:  Coughing up blood. Struggling to breathe. Having a high, long-lasting fever. Difficulty swallowing. Once you’ve described the symptoms of your laryngitis, the doctor may need to perform a few tests before providing a diagnosis. Depending upon your symptoms, the doctor may insert a small, flexible laryngoscope into the back of your throat. The doctor may also need to perform a biopsy to obtain a tissue sample from your vocal cords, which can be sent for laboratory analysis.  In some cases, frequent hoarseness can be caused by the growth of small polyps or benign tumors on the vocal cords. Your doctor will diagnose you with either acute laryngitis (a short condition caused by vocal cord strain or infection) or chronic laryngitis (a lasting condition caused by long-term exposure to irritants). Most treatments for laryngitis involve treating the various symptoms (e.g., rest your voice, stop smoking). If you have developed vocal polyps or other tumors on your larynx, your doctor will suggest surgery to remove them. Lab tests may indicate that you have larynx cancer. In this scenario, your doctor will advise you about how the cancer can best be treated or removed.

Article in English: While a kitten is very young (less than 2 months at least) she should be kept by herself someplace safe and warm.  As she gets older, you can expand the amount of space she has to move around and play.  Make sure the location doesn’t have any hiding spots that your kitten can get into. You can use a cage if you don’t have a room small enough. Make sure their space has a bedding area, a litter box (when she's older), and a place for food and water dishes. The bedding should be setup in such a way that the kitten can comfortably hide in the blankets should she feel scared. Whenever you’re around the kitten, move slowly and quietly.  You should also speak to her often so she gets use to human voices — but speak softly.  Make sure the room she's in doesn’t have a lot of outside noise (if possible) and don’t play music in that room until she's really comfortable.  Once the kitten has been in your house for a little while, consider leaving a radio playing softly in her room when you’re not there. If the kitten isn’t scared, put her cage or bed in a more common area of the house (when you can supervise) so she gets use to the hustle and bustle of the house. A kitten is not going to know any better, so she may do things that you consider to be “bad.”  If this happens, do not punish or scold her.  Instead, reward her for good behaviour so she begins to realize the type of behaviour you’d like her to have.  Once she catches on, she’ll start to repeat that good behaviour over and over. Depending on how old the kitten was when you brought her inside, it can take a while to socialize her and get her use to humans.  Don’t rush the process.  If you’re taking care of more than one kitten, consider separating them and spending one-on-one time with each of them. All kittens love food — so you can use it as an incentive to help encourage your kitten to be more social.  While you can leave dry food out for the kitten all day, only feed her wet food when you’re in the room.  Get her to associate the wet food with you (the human)...

Article in English: While a number of garden centers sell specimens ready for transplanting, bell peppers are relatively easy to grow from seed. Although green, red, yellow, and orange are the most common colors, gardeners also have the option of growing dark brown and purple pepper varieties. Some fast ripening varieties can produce fruit in as little as two months but others may need over three months before they begin to flower. Most bell pepper plants should be started indoors about two months before the frost-free date. Southern gardeners, and gardeners in warm climates with a lengthy growing season, may choose to wait and start their plants outside instead. However, this will naturally affect how soon the plants start producing fruit. The bell pepper seeds will need to be lightly covered with soil, then watered. The seedlings should make an appearance within a week or two. Bell pepper seeds do need a warm period in order to germinate. Ambient air temperatures of over 80° Fahrenheit (26.6° Celsius) and slightly warmer soil temperatures are recommended for good results.  Seeds that are slow to sprout may benefit from the use of heating mats. Gardeners should note that the plants will not sprout at all if temperatures are below 55° Fahrenheit (12.7° C). Seedlings grown indoors need strong light to keep them from becoming tall and spindly. Bad growth at a young stage can affect their overall health and lead to floppy transplants. If this is the case no matter what you do, these tiny seedlings can be staked using thin bamboo or wood skewers and tied in place using plain string. In areas where pepper plants cannot be directly started outdoors, it is a good idea to harden them off once temperatures are regularly over 60° Fahrenheit (15.5° C) at night. Bell peppers do well in containers. They can reach up to 3 feet (0.9 m) in height and width, so gardeners should select a pot that measures about 10 inches (25.4 cm) in depth to keep them from being overcrowded. These plants require full sun growing conditions and well-drained,...

Article in English: While a stressful day may make a beer or glass of wine with lunch seem like a nice idea, it will make you drowsy so you should avoid having alcohol with lunch. Alcohol is a sedative and even one glass will leave you feeling fatigued for the remainder of the day. Although caffeine is renowned for its ability to improve our alertness, it can become a case of diminishing returns if you need to keep increasing the dosage because its effect has lessened over time. Needing to up the caffeine is unhealthy because you can easily end up having too much caffeine, crashing quickly after it wears off each time, and ultimately you risk developing a caffeine addiction. Switch to decaffeinated or non-caffeinated drinks to get you through the afternoon.  Water is an excellent choice, as it is also important to keep well hydrated throughout the day. As an added bonus, it provides you with an excuse to stroll to the water-cooler now and then. after eating your lunch. After eating, it is a good idea to get out and do some light exercise. Take a walk for a few blocks, do some basic stretches, use the stairs instead of the elevator, or do a few jumping jacks in the restroom — whatever you can think of that fits with your schedule and location. Light exercise after eating will help get your blood flowing and will help to ward off fatigue. Drinking lots of water during the day will help to keep you hydrated and it may also help to reduce a feeling of tiredness after lunch. Carry a reusable water bottle with you wherever you go and refill it throughout the day. If you're suffering from excessive drowsiness after eating lunch, you may want to see your doctor for a checkup. There are medical conditions that can cause drowsiness, including iron or other nutrient deficiencies, insulin resistance or diabetes, hypoglycemia, or other medical problems. Diagnosis and treatment is something only your doctor can do.

Article in English: While all business plans share the common objective of describing a businesses purpose and structure, analyzing the marketplace, and creating cash flow projections, the types of plans differ. There are three major kinds.  The mini plan. This is a shorter plan (likely 10 pages or less), and is useful for determining potential interest in your business, further exploring a concept, or starting point to a full plan. This is a great starting point.   The working plan. This can be considered the full version of the miniplan, and its main purpose is to outline, without emphasis on appearance, precisely how to build and operate the business. This is the plan that the business owner would refer to regularly as the business moves towards its objectives.  The presentation plan. The presentation plan is meant for individuals other than those owning and operating the business. This could include potential investors or bankers. It is essentially the working plan, but with an emphasis on sleek, marketable presentation, and proper business language and terminology. Whereas the working plan is made for reference by the owner, the presentation needs to be written with investors, bankers, and the public in mind. Whether you opt for a miniplan, or a comprehensive working plan to start, it is essential to understand the basic elements of a business plan.  The business concept is the first broad element of a business plan. The focus here is on the description of your business, its market, its products, and its organizational structure and management. The market analysis is the second major element of a business plan. Your business will operate within a particular marketplace, and it is important to understand customer demographics, preferences, needs, buying behavior, as well as the competition. The financial analysis is the third component of the business plan. If your business is new, this will include projected cash flows, capital expenditures, and the balance sheet. It will also include forecasts as to when the business will...

Article in English: While all the above steps can fit into anyone's life, one of the key factors in success with being taken seriously by men, is being intelligent and well spoken. How you speak goes with how you carry yourself (self-respect and confidence). Appropriate grammar and tone, as well as how frequently you speak can make or break success in the workplace, among new acquaintances and in recreational activities. Although all women have different sounding voices (high, low, soft, etc.), it is important to remember that you may be judged by your pitch, how much emphasis you put on words, and your laugh.  Record yourself to alter how you present yourself to other people. For example, if you let your voice trail off at the end of a sentence, this implies that you are not confident and you could be setting yourself back in terms of getting an important message across.  Speak in terms of specific outcomes and results.  Be assertive. Say what you think and feel in a respectful way. Be firm but polite. Ask for what you want. Say no when you need to. Be warm, welcoming, and friendly to others. Respect the opinions of others and be willing to compromise. Examples of assertive speech include, “That’s a good idea, and how about if we did this too…” or “I can see that, but I’d really like ____." A woman who is well informed on various topics will have a better chance of being taken seriously by men (and other women).  There are many ways to be "intelligent" but for the most part-pursuing higher education is usually a good place to start. Watching educational programs, reading books, and keeping up on the latest news are easy and usually low-cost ways to increase your knowledge. Watching movies, playing video games, and being familiar with sports teams will also make you more diverse in conversations. It is important to pay attention to your body language in addition to your speaking. If you walk around with your head hung low, people may expect that you are negative and unmotivated. On the other hand, how you carry yourself can show...

Article in English: While aloe vera gels and sprays are available, using the pulp directly from a leaf offers the best results. Dab it onto the affected area and let sit for a half hour or more, then rinse with cool water. Repeat if necessary or desired. If you go with a store bought product, check its label for alcohol. Avoid using alcohol-based products as they will dry out your skin, causing further irritation. Consider using tea tree oil either on its own or blended with a skin product. Apply enough oil to saturate the the area you shaved immediately after hair removal. You can also add several drops of tea tree oil to the moisturizer or balm you use after shaving.  Some people are sensitive to tea tree oil, so you might want to dilute it before applying. Mix a half teaspoon of it with three tablespoons of olive oil. Diluting with essential oils is not recommended. Rub a small amount of coconut oil onto your irritated skin. If you're not planning on rinsing, use an amount small enough for your skin to absorb. Alternatively, you can apply a thin coating, leave it on for about a half hour, then rinse with lukewarm water. If you leave coconut oil on your skin, be careful about coming into contact with clothes or furniture fabric, since it can leave tough to remove stains. Apply directly to your skin and let it sit for about ten minutes. Rinse it off with lukewarm water, then finish with cool water. Honey reduces inflammation, reduces itchiness, and nourishes your skin.  Add an equal part of oatmeal for gentle exfoliation. Do not exfoliate broken skin, as this can further irritate razor burn. Consider mixing equal parts honey and yogurt to soothe skin. Apply the mixture, leave it on for about ten minutes, and rinse off first with lukewarm then with cool water.

Article in English: While animal experts are not completely certain why bladder stones form, they have noticed an increase in one particular type of stone, calcium oxalate, in recent years. There are many different types of mineral stones. The type depends on the minerals from which they are formed. Your veterinarian will send the stone away for analysis and from that recommend a diet low in the minerals from which your cat's stone was built.  Choose the diet appropriate for your cat's urolith type. For example, for oxalate stones try a non-acidifying diet diet with low- to moderate-levels of calcium, as well as magnesium and citrate components. This type of diet can help reduce urinary calcium and may prevent buildup of calcium oxalate. Use canned food instead of dry food. The extra water content found in canned cat food may help dilute urine and prevent the buildup of minerals. Cats generally prefer fresh water, and may not drink water that has been out for several days. Empty and refill your cat's water bowl every day. This will also help you monitor how much water your cat is drinking. Your veterinarian may recommend that you bring your cat back for urinalysis and urine cultures periodically in the months that follow a bladder stone procedure. Keeping regular vet appointments can help ensure that your cat has a full recovery and does not have a repeat incidence.

Article in English: While anxiety does often cause sweating, there may be other medical causes as well. It's a good idea to talk to your doctor about your excessive sweating to find out if there may be other underlying causes.  Medical conditions that may increase sweating include thyroid disorders and low blood sugar. Certain medications, including morphine, fever-reducing medications, and thyroid medications, may also increase the body's sweat production. There are a variety of medications that can help reduce excessive sweating, but this is not right for everyone. All of these medications may cause unwanted side effects, so it is important to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits. Medication options include:  Beta blockers Amitriptyline Anticholinergic drugs While Botox injections are traditionally used for wrinkles, they can also be extremely helpful for people who sweat a lot. The injections work by blocking nerves that cause sweating.  Botox is temporary, so you will need to get injections every few months. Some people do not see results after their first Botox treatment, so you may need multiple treatments to reduce your sweating. Iontophoresis is a procedure that uses an electrical current to stun the sweat glands and reduce sweating. It is highly effective, although multiple treatments are required. Although this procedure is not invasive, it can be very painful. If nothing else works to reduce your sweating, you may want to talk to your doctor about the possibility of a surgical procedure called thoracic sympathectomy, which reduces sweating by removing cells that are responsible for creating sweat in specific areas of the body.  This procedure is minimally invasive, but does require general anesthesia. Surgery comes with serious risks, including injury to the blood vessels, blood clots, and nerve damage. Some people also begin sweating more in other areas of the body after surgery.

Article in English: While any shampoo or conditioner will work, it is better to use moisturizing shampoos and conditioners, especially if your scalp is dry and itchy. Some products such as Shea Moisture African Black Soap Deep Cleansing Shampoo and Giovanni Tea Triple Treat shampoo are made specifically for dry scalps and thick hair. Cover your nape and hairline. Gently massage every inch of the scalp, paying close attention to itchy areas.  Before applying the shampoo, rub it between your hands to activate the suds. This will make it easier to apply to your scalp. If desired, use a basic (or fancy) spray bottle to dilute the shampoo and allow for easier application. In addition to water and shampoo, moisturizer can be added to the bottle if needed. Let the lather run over the braids. Try not to rub the braids too much, as this can cause frizzing. Instead, focus on massaging the scalp. Only this time, after massaging the scalp to rinse it, squeeze the braids to remove deeply-embedded dirt. Rinse once more, gently squeezing the braids to remove excess water. Use fingers to work conditioner into the braids. Don't rub or shift your braids. Instead, gently press down on your braids, pushing the conditioner into them. Then, cover your braids with a shower cap. Let the conditioner sit for about 15 minutes before removing the shower cap and rinsing thoroughly. Make sure all of the braids are tucked in, and leave the towel on for ten minutes. After ten minutes, remove the towel and let your hair air dry before applying moisturizer.

Article in English: While arriving late to an interview is a major no-no, many people don't realize arriving exactly on time may also reflect poorly on you. Arriving early reflects initiative, drive, and good time management skills.  Aim to show up 10 to 15 minutes early, but no earlier than that. Any earlier can put pressure on your interview to conduct the interview prematurely.   Stay off your phone while waiting. There's always a chance of receiving distressing information through your smart phone. You don't want anything to take your focus away from the interview.  Briefly review any notes you have, but do not go overboard as this can increase your anxiety. Simply scan what you've jotted down.  Sit up straight and be attentive. Convey confident body language even while waiting as this will set the tone for your interview. Your interview starts the moment you enter an establishment. Treat any secretaries or other employees with courtesy as you navigate your way through a place of business. Your interviewer might ask about your behavior afterwards, so be sure to be friendly and engaged with everyone you meet and not just the person conducting the interview. A good handshake is vital. This is your first opportunity to impress an interviewer.  A handshake should be neither too limp nor too hard. Both methods are off-putting to interviewers.  Make sure you arrange your belongings on your left side as you'll be shaking with your right hand. You don't want to leave your interviewer waiting while you fumble with folders and notebooks.  Offer your hand with your palm slightly up, allowing the interviewer's hand to cover yours. This is a subtle gesture that conveys respect.  Never cover the interviewer's hand with your left hand while shaking. This can be seen as inappropriate and a sing of domination. From the moment you enter the room, use body language that conveys confidence and respect.  When you're being lead to the interview, follow the leader. This shows you respect their position of authority over you.  Put any belongings,...
