Article in English: Don't be afraid to slightly change a race that has already been thought up and give it a slightly different name, just make sure to make it yours. For example, an elf could be a desert elf or a low elf. If you have created a completely new and different race and can't think of a name for it, consider using a foreign word that translates to a trait in your race. Many names for races have been chosen in this way.

Article in English: Don't be afraid to tell them how you feel. Instead of accusing them of doing something wrong, use "I-statements" to explain how their behavior effects you. To do this say "I feel ______ when you do _______ because ______." There are several advantages to I statements. Instead of placing the blame on them, you make it about how you feel. Furthermore, instead of exaggerating by making a blanket statement like "you are always angry," you can specify exactly when their bad behavior pops up. That will make it easier for them to correct their behavior. If they are needy, anxious, or overly talkative, it might because they have their own personal issues. Ask them if anything is up. Talking about it might help them get over it. If not, see if there is anything you can do to help them get over their issues. After you have raised the person’s faults, you should give them time to respond. See if they are willing to adapt their behavior and try to avoid these habits that might lead to the things that annoy you. Don’t push the subject too persistently or they will probably fight back. You’ve already told them what you think; give it some time to sink in.  Remember patience is important. If they don't seem to respond, try to make your message clearer by pointing out when they acts in a way that bothers you. Do it in a non-confrontational way, like "Don't you think that question is a bit personal?" Evidence shows that people who have close personal relationships are happier than those who don't, but maintaining those will generally be hard and require sacrifice. Don't give before giving the other person a chance to get better. If they persist in their behavior and you don’t think you have the patience to tolerate them, sit them down and be honest. Just tell them that the friendship isn't working for you and you need to take some time apart. Say that it hurts you to say this, but that it’s better than leading the person on.  This will give them more time to allow your comments to sink and try to develop. This might help...

Article in English: Don't be bamboozled by the brand name. Many times people don’t make the right decision in choosing a pair of snow boots because of the brand name or the style of the boot. Unfortunately, this can have an effect on your feet when walking in the snow.  For example, shearling boots are very popular and trendy boots currently. They're made with the finest sheepskin for comfort and warmth but they're not made for the snow. These boots may be very thick and warm, but they're not water resistant and are easily stained by the salt and snow. However, there are some brand name boots that are known for their quality. Boot makers that have high quality goods may be the best known for a reason. You need to do your research and figure out if a brand name is all hype or if they are the best of the best. It is a good idea to shop around for the best deal when buying snow boots. Check the price at local stores as well as online. The perk of getting the boots locally is that you can probably get them right away and you won't have to pay for shipping. The perk of buying snow boots online is that you may have more options to choose from and they may be cheaper.  Make sure that you are comparing the exact same boots when shopping around. Slightly different styles may have different costs and different qualities. Even if you want to try the boots on in a store, it doesn't mean that you have to buy them there. Try them on in the store to figure out what size works for you, or to figure out if they fit you well at all, and then buy them where you can get them cheapest. This may very well be online. If you are buying a quality pair of boots they should be guaranteed for life from manufacturing defects. This means that if the stitching fails or the fabric splits, they will repair your boots or send you a new pair.  Some damage to boots will probably not be covered by a guarantee. If the damage is caused by something that the boots are meant to withstand, then you may have to pay for replacements. For example, it you accidentally run...

Article in English: Don't be in a hurry to start dating once you have lost your spouse. You have spent many years with this person, and whether your relationship was happy or not, you should fully grieve before moving on. Remember, there is no right or wrong way to grieve, and there is no exact time when grieving ends. If you are unable to discuss your spouse without an extreme emotional display, you may need to wait longer before getting back in the dating game. In the meantime, take good care of yourself by eating well, getting physical activity, and avoiding behaviors that jeopardize health, such as drinking or using drugs. Join a grief support group or see a counselor. Yes, you will have to move on and live a life without your loved one. But, you don’t necessarily have to “get over” the loss. “Getting over” a death implies that you will somehow return to normal at some point. Considering how closely interconnected your life was with your spouse’s, returning to normal is impossible. What you want to strive for is acceptance. Learn how to integrate the loss into a new identity in which you plan for a future without your beloved. It can help to fill your social calendar with new and exciting activities, such as checking out books from the library, getting a part-time job if you are retired, taking up a new hobby, participating in group fitness classes, or adopting a pet. The object of dating is not to replace your spouse. You may long for someone just like your previous love, but having such a desire will only lead to disappointment. Think about what qualities you would like to find in a new partner. Be realistic – having a laundry list of desired traits will make it hard for you to find a match. For example, consider some things you would like to do, such as traveling, and look for a partner who shares that same passion. It’s common for widow(er)s to feel a sense of guilt for wanting get back out on the market. You believe it is a betrayal of your spouse to smile at a new man or enjoy coffee with a new woman. You must release...

Article in English: Don't be lazy! You should practice a little everyday. If you are a base, weight lifting is a great idea. Same for back spots. Flyers, you can try hamstring stretches!Stretch and exercise. Believe it or not, the more flexible you are, the less you'll get hurt, because your body will be so used to bending. Stretch every day and do a couple of strength exercises like crunches, lemon squeezes, and push-ups about three times a week. Run at least once a week. Being strong can help you get better at a lot of cheerleading things, like jumping, tumbling, stunting, or maybe even dancing if your team's dance is fast and difficult. Do tumbling, private lessons, or a be in a recreational team for about two months before you actually do the real thing, and remember that you must know the basics. Those classes will teach you all the basics. If you already took something like gymnastics or tumbling before, you don't really have to. The better you are at tumbling, the more likely you'll be able to make a higher level in your team. High V, Low V, T, Broken T, etc. Practice in front of the mirror and remember to squeeze your body the whole time. While doing motions, keep your fists straight up and tight, not bent! The better your basics are, the better your tumbling will be. Practice every day and when you're sitting down, be in the position of the jump you want to learn/improve. When you jump, whip your legs and arms as hard as possible and keep your arms tight (that's why basic motions are important in cheerleading). It may sound silly, but dance is important in all-star cheer. If you don't know how to dance, you'll be all messed up while your teammates are doing great in a competition, and all all-star cheer routines have at least one dance part in them. Your dance moves should be clean and tight, and remember to do facials/smile while you dance. They are very important cheerleading skills. Remember that in most tumbling passes, a cheerleader will do a roundoff/roundoff back handspring before she does the final trick. Even...

Article in English: Don't be shy -- ask for constructive criticism. This helps you know whether or not you're meeting the time requirements and if not, how you could tweak your style. And once you've recited it 20 times before breakfast, your nervous should be at a minimum. If you can grab a friend who you think has a similar knowledge level to your audience, all the better. They'll help you see what points are foggier to minds with less expertise on the topic. Alright, so this one is a little much, but if you're really nervous, you may find listening to yourself beneficial. You can see which parts you're nervous about and which parts you have nailed down. It'll help you to see the flow, too, when you listen back. It'll also help you with volume. Some people get rather timid when in the spotlight. You may not be aware that you're not loud enough! You are allowed to be a person, not just a machine that relays facts. Welcome in your audience and take a few seconds to establish a comfortable atmosphere. Do the same with your conclusion. Thank everyone for their time and open the floor for any questions, if allowed.

Article in English: Don't be surprised if symptoms appear suddenly. They often occur at night. Symptoms are usually the most painful within the first 4 to 12 hours after the initial attack. These symptoms include:  Intense joint pain: in feet (often at the base of the big toe), ankles, knees, or wrists Joint discomfort after the initial attack Redness and other signs of inflammation, like warmth, swelling and tenderness Difficulty moving the affected joint There are some risk factors you can't control, like a family history of gout or the prevalence of gout in adult men and postmenopausal women. But, you can control other risk factors like being overweight (or obese), untreated high blood pressure, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and heart and kidney disease. Recent surgery or trauma also increases your risk for gout. If you are unsure whether you have gout, talk with your doctor. Your doctor will make a diagnosis based on your symptoms and medical history. Further testing and lab work might be needed.  Testing may include taking a sample of joint fluid, running a blood test to see your uric acid levels, or getting an X-ray, ultrasound, or CT scan (although imaging tests aren't usually used).  Joint fluid is analyzed for the presence of urate crystals that are visible under the microscope.

Article in English: Don't be too hard on yourself and impose a timeline for getting over your loss. The Victorians took two to four years to mourn a death. While that doesn't have to be you, don't expect to be ready to get back into the swing of things after a few weeks, a month, or however much time you think you need. Instead, be patient with yourself and let go of the expectations you may have for yourself. Try to keep in mind that grieving is a process. You'll probably be grieving in some way for a long, long time, though hopefully it won't always be this intense. Work through it in your own time. Though it's normal to be depressed, remember that your parent loved you and wouldn't want this event to cripple your life forever. As you work through the loss, try to get back into doing the things you enjoyed before. Of course, this is easier said than done, but it doesn't mean that you should forget about the fact that your parent was happiest when you were happiest. This doesn't mean you have to sweep all of your negative feelings under the rug, but it does mean that you should make an effort to keep enjoying the little things as much as you can. Of course, if you feel completely devastated by the loss and unable to get back into the swing of things right away, don't let the memory of your parent make you feel guilty about not getting back on your feet. They will always have been a big part of your life no matter what, even if they have passed away. Write down your memories together because as you go on you probably don't want to forget those moments in your life. You just have to know that they will never leave that place in your heart. Take comfort in the memories you have of that person without obsessing over not remembering every little thing. Just do the best you can.  You can talk to the people who also knew your parent about him or her to keep the memory alive. You can also tell stories about the parent to people who did not know him or her, from time to time. You can also ask family members questions about your parent...

Article in English: Don't beat yourself up if you think you messed up or said the wrong thing. This will only make you continue to feel shy and lack confidence the next time you try to engage with guys. Instead of thinking things like, “That was stupid,” or “I’m terrible at this,” think of how to do better next time. If you find yourself rehashing the scene over and over, get out of your own head by talking to friends, reading a good book, or doing something else that makes you feel good.  Instead of thinking negatively, remind yourself, "It's okay to say the wrong thing," or "I don't need to impress anyone." When you're thinking of how to do better next time, practice what to say in the mirror, or role play with friends. The guy you are talking to may be just as shy as you are. Part of building confidence is learning to understand that it’s okay to not know everything, to not always say the right thing.  Doing or saying the wrong thing is a great learning experience. Most people learn more from the things they get wrong than those they get right. Look at “failure” when talking to guys as a chance to learn how to do better next time. Remember, it’s okay to say or do the wrong thing. If you accidentally offend a guy you’re talking to, say something like, “I’m so sorry. I get nervous and say the wrong thing sometimes.” Most people will completely understand this. You might have heard the saying, “If you fall off the horse, you should get right back on.” This is very apt, when it comes to building confidence. If you say the wrong thing and the guy doesn’t want to talk to you, that’s okay. Try again some other time. Talk to guys who may need your help. If you notice a guy who’s struggling in math class, offer to help him with his homework. Talking about something you excel at makes you feel more confident, and it takes some of the pressure and stress out of situations where you may feel shy. Repetition is one of the best ways to develop a skill. The more you do it, the easier it is, so one of the best ways to feel less shy is to...

Article in English: Don't bleach hair that is freshly washed. The bleaching process will dry your hair out significantly, potentially causing damage and breakage. Your hair's natural oils will prevent this. A freshly-washed scalp is also much more sensitive and will itch more during bleaching. Your bleach kit will have two main components: dry powdered bleach and a hydrogen peroxide solution. Mix the two according to the ratios or instructions on your dye kit, using a tint brush or plastic spoon.  Follow the instructions on your kit if they are different from what is described here. Developers come in different strengths rated by numbered "volumes." If your hair is already fairly light, use volume 10. Volume 20 is for darker blondes, volume 30 for light browns, and volume 40 for darker browns and black.  Higher volumes can be more damaging to your hair, but they can also lighten it faster. If you've never bleached your hair to platinum blonde before, you will need to know how long it takes your hair to lighten. Select a small amount of hair close to the roots at an inconspicuous place and section it off. Brush on some bleach using a tiny brush. Let the bleach set and check the strand every 5 to 10 minutes. If your hair is not light enough after an hour, you will need to do multiple rounds of bleaching. Rinse the bleach away between rounds and reapply it. To minimize damage, do not leave bleach in your hair for over an hour. Use a tint brush to apply your bleach mixture evenly to your hair. Work in sections, brushing in the direction your hair grows.  Start from the very back of your head and work your way forward, leaving the sections of hair that frame your face for the end. If your hair is thick, flip up each section to expose the next layer of hair underneath and apply there, too. Leave about a one-inch section around your roots to do last, after the face-framing strands. The heat from your scalp will cause your roots to bleach a little faster than your normal hair. Try to go as quickly as possible to ensure an even color....

Не приступайте к процедуре осветления, пока волосы слишком чистые. Смешайте порошок для осветления с эмульсией. Сделайте тест на отдельной пряди. Воспользуйтесь осветлителем. Дайте осветлителю проявиться. Смойте осветлитель.


Article in English: Don't book a waxing appointment until you haven't waxed for at least one to two weeks. Ideally, you should have 1/4 inch (.635 cm) of hair in the area you want to wax. Waxing will be more painless and effective if you wait long enough to wax. The exception to this is fine hair, like women's facial hair. Fine hair can be shorter, but try to grow it out for several weeks beforehand. Sensitive skin does not make for a pleasant waxing experience. The best time to wax is a week after your menstrual cycle, when your pain threshold is highest. Do not schedule an appointment during your time of the month. Also, do not schedule an appointment just before or after a day you plan to spend lots of time outside. If you get a sunburn, freshly waxed skin will be painful. Avoid scheduling an appointment right before a special event, vacation, or photoshoot. Skin reacts differently to waxing, especially the first time. Your skin may experience redness, bruising, or irritation. Try waxing for the first time weeks before a special event so you know what to expect. If you experience skin irritation after waxing, you can prevent it in the future by applying a layer of coconut oil, baby powder, or a soothing lotion right after you wax. When you have found a professional esthetician, tell them about any allergies or skin sensitivities prior to the appointment. Your waxer can then choose a wax type appropriate for your skin type to avoid skin irritation.  If this is your first time waxing, let your esthetician know. They can tell you how to prepare for your specific treatment.  Tell your esthetician about any skin creams you use as well, as this can affect your skin sensitivity. Because skin wax can contain chemicals irritable to the skin, ask for an allergy patch test from your doctor or dermatologist. You will want to know how your skin might react if this is your first waxing session. Let your esthetician know if you react to a certain chemical or fragrance. Allergy tests can take up to several days to display irritation, so...

Article in English: Don't bother to invite people if they don't appeal to you or you have no intention of growing close with them. Choosing good guests may enable you to be a better host. Consider also how well the guests will get along with each other. Try not to invite people that you know won't mesh well, or that have a history of winding up at each other's throats. It is important to know when to expect your guest/s. Make sure to give them plenty of advance notice – at least a week, and even more if the occasion is very important. Assume that they will also need to work around their own schedules. Don't tell them to come "sometime" if you really want them to show up. Tell them specifically when to come so that it feels more like an invitation. A range of times is also okay, but it should be no longer than a few hours.  If your guests show up late, try to make them feel welcome. Do not sulk for the rest of the evening, or you may compound the problem. Just continue laughing and ignore the fact they were late. Telling your guests in advance is just a matter of courtesy. If they know what to expect, it will be much easier for them to plan their schedules around it. When you decide on the food you will be serving, consider your guests' food concerns. Always contact them beforehand and ask if they have any allergies or food specifications. Inviting a vegetarian over for dinner and preparing a roast would be embarrassing for both of you. Be sure to cook something that you're comfortable cooking.  Don't just say, "Do you have any preference for the meal?" Instead, ask your guests to name specifics. Say, "I'm planning the meal for Friday night. Do you have any allergies or food restrictions that I need to be aware of?" Don't go out of your way to prepare a main course which takes days to make. A good guest will appreciate any decent meal that tastes good. lean house. Before your guests arrive, tidy up the space to convey that you care. If they arrive in a messy household, it shows you do not care for your surroundings, and it may...

Article in English: Don't break right out into the "I love you"s and don't talk about the future you want the two of you to have. You want to avoid speaking in definite terms about the future because this creates a lot of pressure and expectations for him...which is stressful and can scare him away! Instead, speak in terms of what you want to try or what you hope might become real eventually. "I hope we can try being more than friends,", etc. Don't be creepy when you tell him how you feel. This means no begging, no bargaining, and try not to touch him or get into his personal space until you know he feels the same way. You also shouldn't cling around him if he needs time to think about what you said. If you can, tell him how you feel in person. Using social media or a text can come across as not being very serious or, worse, being a joke. This is not how you want to start things with him. You don't want to rush into telling him and if he returns your feelings, don't rush into a serious relationship. If you're going to go through the torture of confessing, you want to be sure that you really like him first, right? This is can be a long process and one that will continue even if you start dating. Just focus on getting to know him for who he really is, by spending time with him and talking about things that are important to you: what you both want for the future, what your beliefs are, and what you like to do for fun.

Summary in Russian:

Не давите на него. Не будьте странной. Не используйте социальные сети или телефон. Не торопитесь.


Article in English: Don't bring up politics or religion, and avoid topics that have triggered an argument before. Instead, talk about the person's hobby, the weather, food, or a shared friend. Parents usually love to talk about their children. If you are forced to have a conversation with someone, make an effort to keep your contributions polite and short. Deliver a small compliment on the person's clothing or house when you join a conversation with him. Ask him short, basic questions about how his day has been going, or whether there's anything new with his family. Listen to the answers without interrupting, even if he talks for some time. The less you say, the less likely you are to reveal your dislike. If you can't think of anything nice to say, just smile and nod instead. Rubbing the back of your neck, crossing your arms, or shifting your weight back and forth can signal that you are bored or nervous. If this is someone you don't want to offend, try to keep your feet still and your arms at your sides. Subtle humor can be easily misinterpreted as offensive, especially if you accidentally let your real opinion show through in your tone of voice. Only make obvious, straightforward jokes, or none at all, and don't tease the person you dislike, even in a "friendly" fashion. A socially savvy person may end the conversation herself once she sees that you are only giving short responses. If she doesn't, however, politely excuse yourself by saying "It was nice talking to you! I've got to get back to (my errands/my work/my day.)"  Another option in a group conversation is to ask another person questions so the focus shift to him instead of the person you dislike. If you do not have the option of leaving permanently, give yourself a "time out" by excusing yourself to the bathroom for a few minutes.

Summary in Russian:

Придерживайтесь в разговоре «неконфликтных» тем. Позвольте своему собеседнику говорить большую часть времени. Следите за языком своего тела. Старайтесь не язвить и не иронизировать. Подведите беседу к логическому концу.


Article in English: Don't brush your curls because that will create frizz. If your hair is tangled, you can go through it gently with a wide toothed comb. It might also be a good idea to have both of your hair ties on your wrist, ready to go. With a wide tooth comb pull little strands of hair out of the bun. You can also just play with it until some hair falls out. This will keep it together for the day.

Article in English: Don't care what people see in you. Oftentimes, the reason we care what others think of us is because we see ourselves through their eyes...but it’s not good for us to base our opinion of ourselves solely on what others think of us. The best thing you can do to not care what others think of you is to build your opinion of yourself. Do things that make you proud of yourself so that no matter what they say, you know that you are a good, worthwhile person.  Volunteering is a wonderful way to make you feel good about yourself while also providing invaluable support to your community. Learn a skill, like drawing, playing an instrument, or playing a sport. Tired of being that loner guy who no one talks to? Be that guy who plays killer bass. Travel and see things that you want to see. Traveling will make you more confident and give you wonderful memories and stories to tell for the rest of your life. Put effort into the things you do. If you try hard at school, work, sports, housework, etc, it's easy to not care what others think of your performance. When you know that you did your best, don't care about anything negative anyone says. Don’t let the opinion of others stop you from doing the things that you like to do. Your happiness shouldn’t hinge on their approval. Ignore them and you will find that the more time you spend doing whatever you want, regardless of what they say, the less you care. You will enjoy yourself so much that you’ll find you simply don’t care any more. Pursuing things that make you happy is also a great way to meet people who think like you do and like the same things. These new people will celebrate, rather than judge, the things that you love! A great step towards not caring when people judge you is to just let them judge you. Let them judge you and, in experiencing that judgement, you will see that it isn’t the end of the world. You still get up each day and you can still do all the things that you want to do. Their opinion doesn’t actually impact your life. There is especially little point...

Article in English: Don't carry much cash in your wallet and, should you have any debit or credit cards, try to avoid bringing them everywhere. This way you will not be tempted to spend money on unnecessary items or make impulsive decisions when at a store. Instead of carrying everything you might need (all your available cash, debit card, several credit cards, etc.), carry only what you know you'll need.  Stick a few bucks and (if you insist) one credit card in your pocket when you go to the mini-mart, for instance. Whenever you receive money, whether it be a gift or your allowance, take your savings out right away and set them aside. This will ensure that you don't spend the money you intend to save. The best part is that once you have set aside your savings, you can spend the rest! It is important to enjoy life and live a little bit after all. Think like Uncle Sam.  The government takes out income taxes before people get their paychecks.  If you take your savings cut out of your income right away and put it somewhere that is not easy to access, it will be easier to forget that it was available to spend in the first place ("out of sight, out of mind"). For instance, spending money on your future is almost always wise.  You should feel good about spending money when it's an investment in your future and future earning power.  For example, save for school if you plan to go to college. If you plan to be a singer, spend money on voice lessons. Spend money on appropriate clothing if you get an office job. It's perfectly acceptable to spend money in order to promote yourself and, in turn, eventually earn more money.  That said, if you are sticking to your newfound saving habits well, a little spending here and there isn't such a bad thing.  Think of it as investing in your current happiness. Yes, a dollar is a dollar, but what does that really mean?  Remember that, for the most part (excepting gifts) money is what you earn for doing something. When you work, you are exchanging money for your time. You need to decide if what you want...

Article in English: Don't close the pocket though. Let the pocket be open and only do this if your clothes isn't tight at all. This is why this works best with sweatshirt pockets. The pet will crawl in and out the pocket, and crawl around you! Be careful so that the rat/mouse doesn't fall off you! . You can use treats to navigate the mouse/rat through your homemade obstacle course! Place the treats with about 5–7 centimeter (2.0–2.8 in) of distance. Place your pet under a piece of cloth or something similar, and watch him/her trying to find out! Do not use a heavy cover, though, and if you see your pet doesn't like it, or is taking too long to find out, then stop the play, before the pet gets mad or ill.

Article in English: Don't come to school the first day with a crazy new hair color. Wait a few weeks later when you're sure it won't leave a bad impression. Same with extensions. If your hair is oily, wash it with Dawn dish soap before you shampoo and condition.  Wash your hair well. If you have acne, you should use Dawn on your face once a week or so. It really does get rid of the oil. If you like wearing make-up, don't go overboard. Try to go for just the basics. Also, just because it doesn't look good on you doesn't mean you're fat. Some girls are different heights or shapes, and it really affects how clothes look on them. If you believe you're beautiful, you will be more beautiful to everyone that looks at you! Find yourself some cool accessories, but don't pay mall prices for them. Go to Amazon.com and you'll be able to find just about anything you can find in a mall. You don't need to pay fifteen dollars for a necklace when you can buy it online for three bucks. Don't wear stilettos if your class is on the fourth floor, but tennis shoes are good for the trip up. Wear something that's stylish, but comfortable.  Invest in a great pair of cozy, waterproof, easily-washable boots for winter, if it applies to you. Find good socks. Ditch the tube socks and get something that's comfortable.

Summary in Russian:

Касательно ваших волос – следите за их чистотой и аккуратностью, но не переходите границ. Следите за чистотой лица, оно должно выглядеть приятно. Вы можете перепробовать множество разных стилей, но не увлекайтесь модой, если на вашей фигуре эти вещи сидят плохо. Не критикуйте собственное тело. Носите соответствующую обувь.


Article in English: Don't confront them harshly or in a way that might make them close up or feel shame.  If they're very young, it is likely that they don't realize what they're doing or what sexual implications it has, so being understanding and gentle is key to how they'll view their sexuality in the future.  It will also make them more likely to have discussions with you in the future about sex rather than turning to others or keeping secrets. Remember: don’t shame them or make them feel guilty for masturbation; simply explain to them that doing it in public is problematic. You will want to address the action immediately when it happens, but you shouldn’t have a serious conversation about it in public.  Simply tell your child to “stop” or distract them from the behavior.  When you get home, have a conversation with them in private about what they did and why it is inappropriate.  Say something like “Jeremy, your body is yours and you can touch it if you want. Your private parts are private, so if you want to touch it, you need to do it when you're alone.  People will feel embarrassed and uncomfortable if you do it in public. If you want to do it, you can do it in your room.  Do you understand?” Don’t raise the issue in front of others.  You don’t want your child to feel humiliated in public or in front of their siblings. The actions that they're actually taking aren't a problem, just the location. Let them know that it's not appropriate to expose or touch their private parts in public or around other people. Compare it to other things that should be done in private, like bathing or using the restroom. Rather than focusing on what they shouldn't do, turn the discussion to what they can do.  Explain to them that if they choose to masturbate, they can do so in a private area such as in a bedroom or bathroom.  Tell them that they need to clean up after themselves if they make a mess. If your family bathroom(s) can be very busy, then tell them to only do it in their room. (You don't want them masturbating in the bathroom for a...

Summary in Russian:

Следите за своим тоном. Тщательно выбирайте время для беседы. Объясните ребенку, что нет ничего плохого в том, что он захочет изучить свое тело. Предложите ребенку варианты. Старайтесь с пониманием подойти к этому вопросу и приспособьте беседу к возрасту ребенка. Не пропустите признаки ухудшения ситуации. Если ребенок не соблюдает правила, накажите его, лишив некоторых привилегий.


Article in English: Don't confuse taking a stand for integrity with "being defensive". Find a platform where you can communicate your side of the story. Since silence is not always so golden, it is good to have some things you can be prepared to say:  "I do not believe that is true." or "This appears to be an unfounded (or vicious) rumor. Such things can do a lot of harm." Look people in the eye when you say that.Make sure your side of the story prevails. If people ask you about the rumor, you should stand up for yourself no matter what. If you brush it off or act like you don't want to talk about it, then people will believe it's true. People are more likely to tell rumors that are plausible, and that hinge on the existence of suggestive evidence. For instance, a rumor about a workplace affair will take off if the two people involved flirt in the office, or sit together every day at lunch. Once you determine what is feeding the rumor, take steps to remove it, if you can.  Don't bother thinking "Well, they shouldn't assume that" or "I should be able to do what I want without them thinking such and such." The point is, they do, and as long as you continue the behavior, the rumor will continue to spread. Of course, if you're doing absolutely nothing to fuel the rumor, then there's nothing to change. And even if you are doing something to potentially cause the rumor, don't be hard on yourself if that's the case! If you have evidence that can prove that the rumor isn't true, then you should put it forth. For example, if people are saying your boyfriend isn't real, bring him to the next party. If people are gossiping that you don't know how to swim, throw a pool party. If you can produce a document that can prove the rumor false once and for all, don't think it's beneath your dignity to do so. Of course, one of the problems with rumors is that they are so hard to disprove. Don't scramble for evidence to the contrary if you simply can't get it. Yes, that's right. Verbalize or post the rumor in a prominent way. By acknowledging the...

Summary in Russian:

Постойте за себя. Определите,  в чем правдоподобность слуха, и прекратите его. Докажите, что это не правда, если вы можете. Распространяйте слух. Боритесь с источником. Позаботьтесь о себе.


Article in English: Don't delay––the sooner you tell your boss, the better. Additionally, you'll have a rather rough voice after waking up, giving you that added credibility. Plus, if you call early, you may be more likely to get your boss’s voicemail or to catch your boss when he’s off guard. If you call too late, then it’ll look like you didn’t really consider your boss’s feelings.  Keep the conversation short. Though knowing your “illness” well can help you feel prepared, you should remember that stories are typically the embellishment told by liars. Don't get too detailed––just say that you're not feeling well and won't be coming in. Give just enough information for your boss to believe you, such as saying "I was up all night" or "I'm having awful stomach problems." You can also say something like, “I knew I should have said something at the end of the day yesterday, but I was hoping I would sleep this thing off.” Without being too obvious about it, make a point of showing how much you really hoped you would come to work. While you shouldn’t overdo it when you call your boss, it won’t hurt you to actually sound a little sick. In addition to having a hoarse voice from calling early in the morning, you can sniffle or cough very occasionally so your boss thinks you’re sick without having to overdo it. You can also talk a little more slowly or softly to show that you don’t have your full strength. Practice this act aloud so it sounds convincing.  If you want to make your voice sound extra hoarse, you can scream into a pillow for ten seconds or so before you make the call. But this will hurt your throat, so make sure it’s worth it.  You can also just try to sound a little bit out of it and disoriented. If you sound extra sharp and are super snappy to answer any question your boss has, you may not be very convincing as a sick person. Is your boss the nosy type? Try to imagine what kinds of questions he or she might have. For instance, if you work in food service, your boss might wonder how contagious you are. He or she might also...

Article in English: Don't ditch your friends in your quest to find a boyfriend. It's important to have multiple types of friendships in your life. Go out with your friends or spend a night in watching a movie or cooking together. Don't turn every friend night into a boyfriend-finding mission. When you're too consumed with finding a partner, your friends might think you're not interested in them at all. Keep developing yourself as a person. Grow your interests, both personally and professionally. If you want to try a new hobby or sport, go for it. If you want to get a new certification to help you at work, do it. It's important to bring forth your own goals and pursue them. Give yourself time to spend by yourself. This will give you an opportunity to understand yourself better, to develop your own voice, to relax, and to think deeply. Take yourself on a reading date. Bring a good book to a café, order some coffee and a croissant, and treat yourself to an hour of uninterrupted reading.

Summary in Russian:

Проводите время со своими друзьями. Развивайте собственные интересы. Проводите время наедине с собой.


Article in English: Don't do it. Just don't. There are hidden costs that can deter you from financial success. You're paying for the service, for the location, the effort of cooking, and the establishment's profit. You don't know what goes into it, either, so you can't control the amount of sodium, sugar, and other nutrition factors the way you can when you're cooking at home. Buying in bulk doesn't mean you have to buy a lot of it. The “bulk” aspect of it only refers to how a store presents it, not how much you need to buy. Buying only as much as you need ensures you will keep your pantry items fresh, wholesome, and less likely to wind up in the trash. Because it is whole food, you are packing your family's diet with nutrition. Take advantage of the discount you'll receive due to the lack of packaging, labeling, or advertising. Re-organizing your cupboards to better handle your bulk items. Purchasing some airtight containers will be helpful in the organization of your pantry. Buying less and eating less is an easy way to save money. Cutting back on snacks is a great way to stop overeating and, considering snacks can oftentimes be prepackaged food, is also the most expensive items on a grocery list. You don't need pine nuts for pesto. You can easily substitute cheaper and healthier walnuts. Pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds are economical and can dress up a salad healthier and tastier than croutons. Don't buy soda. If you don't like plain water, splash a little juice in it or throw a fresh slice of fruit in it. This will save on calories as well as money. Take inventory and plan your meals in advance. Doing so will help eliminate last minute runs to the store, where you will inevitable spend money you could have saved. It will also reduce the stress and chaos that can occur during mealtimes.

Article in English: Don't eat or drink foods that have raw animal products. This is the most common way people get infected with salmonella. Don't hesitate to send undercooked meat, poultry, and eggs back to the kitchen when you're eating out.   Salmonella is most commonly found in animal products, but vegetables may also get contaminated. Be sure to wash all your vegetables before cooking them. Wash your hands and work surfaces after they come into contact with raw poultry, meat or eggs. This is another common way that salmonella is spread. Healthy reptiles and birds can carry salmonella on their bodies, and it's also present in cat and dog feces. Any time you handle an animal or its feces, be sure to wash your hands with soapy water. Baby chicks, lizards, and turtles, for instance, each carry salmonella on their faces. A child cuddling one of these animals could come into contact with salmonella. Since the infection is harder on a child's immune system than an adult's, it's best to forbid children from getting close to animals who could contaminate them.

Summary in Russian:

Article in English: Don't ever call a dog to you when you're about to do something it might not like. It's very important that your call is always associated with positive experiences. That way, he'll always come when called instead of avoiding you or running off.  “Come” is a potentially life saving command, and you can ruin the puppy’s response to the command with one bad association. Without chasing him down, pick up the puppy and take him calmly to the bathing area. Talk happily and calmly to him the whole time. This isn't a race, so don't put pressure on yourself or the puppy. Once in the bathroom, close the door so that your puppy will be unable to escape. This may stress him out, so take some time to cuddle and play in the closed bathroom to relax him before the bath. Once he's calm and happy, lift the puppy up and place him gently in the water, hind legs first. Make sure his head stays above the water. The water should only reach about halfway up his body, so use your cup to gently and slowly pour water over the dry parts.  If you have a hand-held shower or faucet head, you can use that. Don't use it if it scares the puppy, though. Talk soothingly, and give  praise and treats. Pour a little bit of shampoo into a cupped hand and work it into the wet fur with your fingers. A little shampoo goes a long way, so don't overdo it. If you use too much shampoo, you'll be stuck rinsing your puppy's fur forever! Don’t neglect the puppy’s tail, which also needs shampooing. If seems like he's going to try to leap out of the water, keep a soothing hand on his back. Make sure not to manhandle him, but to guide him into the best position. Talk to him soothingly the whole time, and always move slowly. Jerky, sudden movements might cause a scared reaction that could lead to injury in a slippery tub. Praise and cuddle him to show him that being restrained isn’t a terrible thing. Once you've soaped up the puppy's body and worked the shampoo into the coat, it's time to rinse it out. Use the shower or faucet nozzle if it doesn't scare the...

Article in English: Don't expect your partner to be able to read your mind or “figure it out.” If you have a need or want to express something, you need to communicate it yourself. It’s not fair to you or your partner when you don’t communicate your needs. Likewise, don’t hold in the things that bother you. If something is bothering you, say something to your partner. If you don’t know how to start a conversation, say, “There’s something on my mind and I’d like it if you listened.” You can also say, “Something is bothering me and I feel like we should talk about it.” Part of a healthy relationship is knowing when to talk and when to listen. Develop your listening skills by not interrupting and letting your partner finish their thoughts and feelings. Truly listen, and don’t try to come up with a response while your partner is talking. Use active listening skills by reflecting the content and emotions of what your partner is saying. Say, “Let me make sure I understand. I hear you saying that you’re upset that I didn’t tell you what time I would be home, and you wish I would have said something earlier because you were concerned.” . Boundaries are not meant to make you feel trapped; they are created to maintain respect and understand expectations in the relationship. If something makes you feel uncomfortable, bring it up and discuss how things need to change and how each of you will make changes. If one person wants to spend lots of time together and the other does not, it’s important to set a boundary of how much time is appropriate together and apart.  For example, you may want to create sexual boundaries (being sexually exclusive) and social boundaries (having one night a week designated for friends or activities). Don’t let your partner control you and don’t set out to control your partner. Setting boundaries means respecting each other and finding compromises to make the relationship work well. Without clear communication, a relationship can quickly bring out the worst in people. When you have a want or a need, express it to...

Article in English: Don't expect your siblings to read your mind. Let them know ahead of time how they can respect your space and your belongings. Tell them in person, or post a sign.  For example, if you buy special coffee, you may decide that you don't want other people drinking it. Ask your siblings to get your permission before using your special coffee. You can also ask them to respect your personal space and free time. You might say, "When I come home from school, I need 30 minutes to relax on my own. Please don't bother me during this time." If a fight does erupt, try to remain calm. Yelling or whining won't help you and your siblings solve the problem. Speak in a level voice, avoid accusing or blaming others, and try to focus on solving the problem.  Speak calmly and stick to the facts. If you feel yourself getting heated, ask for time out and go to another room to calm down. If the issue is minor, try to laugh it off, and walk away.  Do not bring up past conflicts in a current fight. This will only drag out grudges. Instead, focus on the issue at hand. Teasing is natural in a family relationship, but you should make sure that you never call out or make fun of an issue that your sibling is sensitive about. For example, if your sister is defensive about the way that she dresses, avoid making fun of her style. Sometimes, you may need to compromise to prevent an argument. If you and your sibling's needs or wants conflict with each other, see if you can work out a solution. Remember that compromise is a two-way street. Both of you should give a little. For example, if you both like to have 20 minutes in the bathroom but your sibling needs to use it at the same time as you, cut the time in half for each of you rather than giving up your time. Time spent together is great but so is time spent apart. If you crowd your sibling, they may feel suffocated. Instead, respect when your sibling needs time alone and time with friends. Don't touch or use your sibling's stuff without their permission. You may also want to avoid entering...

Summary in Russian:

Установите границы, прежде чем возникнут проблемы. Решайте конфликты мирным путем. Не дразните близкого человека, если вы знаете его слабое место. Будьте готовы пойти на компромисс. Давайте брату или сестре возможность иметь личное пространство. Не осуждайте своего брата или сестру.


Article in English: Don't feel like scrolling up? That was 2 cups of water, 4 cups of sugar, and 3/4 cup instant coffee crystals. Keep stirring until everything dissolves and is one uniform, smooth consistency. If you're worried about your insta-Kahlua being a little lacking (generally the ones that take more time have a bit more flavor), you could consider adding a few cocoa nibs to give it a tang of chocolate to make the flavor more dynamic. Once everything has dissolved, take it off the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. This should take 15-20 minutes. A thermometer works well for this, but you could always take taste tests instead to find out! When the concoction reaches room temperature, add 2 1/4 cups of vodka (average quality is best), 2 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract and stir well. Bingo – your homemade coffee liqueur is made and ready for consumption. If your guests aren't going to go hog wild over it at the pot, pour the mixture into bottles (three 12 oz. bottles works well) to keep for later. But do know that this recipe is supposed to be enjoyed immediately, so take advantage of not having to wait 2 weeks for infusion!

Article in English: Don't feel like you have to restrict your photo location to the bedroom or bathroom (though you can get some great shots while laying in bed or coming out of the shower). Using a couch or plush chair or posing against a plain wall can produce some great pictures, especially if the lighting is right. You can even take a sexy pic while you're out in public. Just find a nice backdrop and pose while you snap a selfie. Make sure you're the star of the photo by removing any distractions from the area where you plan to take your shots. Remove clutter, get rid of any loud wall hangings, and clear out anything else that doesn't fit the look you want. For example, if you're taking a photo on your bed, clear off your nightstand and make sure any closets or drawers are shut. If you're in the bathroom, clear off the counter completely and remove any wet towels that might be hanging up. if you're planning to use it in your photo. A lot of erotic photos utilize a mirror so that you can capture certain angles, and an otherwise beautiful photo can be made less so if the mirror is covered in spots and streaks. Take a few minutes to wipe down the mirror with glass cleaner and a lint-free towel so that your photos will be (literally) spotless. Make sure your camera lens is also clean. Whether you're using an actual camera or the camera function on your phone, a grimy lens can really affect the quality of your photos. Sunlight is the best light to use to take photos of yourself because it softens you and makes you look more natural. So while it may seem counterintuitive, schedule your erotic-photo session for midday if you can. Open up the blinds to let in natural light; just be careful if there are people outside that they can't see you, especially if you're nude. If you can't use natural light, opt for lamps rather than overhead lighting for a softer glow to your photos. If the glare is too strong, throw a sheer scarf over the lamp to mute its brightness.

Article in English: Don't focus on only one person or area.  Make eye contact with members of your audience. If eye contact is too intense for you, look just above their heads at a point such as a clock or a painting. Remember to look to both sides of the room. Don't favor just the right or left. Move your eyes around your audience so that everyone feels included in the presentation. The natural adrenaline rush that you will have in front of your audience may make you want to speak much too quickly. And have a confident smile on your face. If by chance, you forget your speech, then simply say thank you and leave the stage. Your audience will find you much more easy to relate to, and you won't lose their confidence in your knowledge of your subject. Never leave the stage if something goes wrong, even if you feel embarrassed. Make a joke if you can, shake it off, and move forward. Ask questions. As well have them ask you questions, so you can touch up on some points that you overlooked and/or left out,)before leaving the podium at the end of your speech. Acknowledge your audience with a smile, a brief nod or a slight bow, if appropriate. Be sure to build time for any Q and A into your allotted presentation time. That way, you can control the flow of the Q and A. Then, after the last question, let your audience know, "I'd like to share one final thought with you," and deliver a powerful closer.

Article in English: Don't get a stranger or relative stranger to help you trim your cat's nails or your cat will be even more scared. Though it sounds good and fine to get your cat used to having its nails trimmed, the reality is, many cats will still protest every single time, and you may have to get some extra help to do it. You can both try standing on opposite sides of a raised surface, like a counter.  Both of you should talk calmly and reassuringly to the cat. Have your helper pet the cat and try to keep it in place by holding on to its body without hurting it or scaring it too much. If your cat enjoys being brushed, the other person can brush the cat to distract it from the fact that it's getting its nails trimmed. Have your helper brush the cat’s head, under its neck, or in other places where it enjoys being brushed. While holding the paw, push down on the pad to extend the claws. If your cat is being rowdy, wait for it to settle down so that you can isolate the paw. Your helper will continue to distract the cat while you trim its claws.  Just follow the directions in the previous section to make sure you give your cat a smooth, painless nail trim. When you're done, reward your cat with a nice treat. Every cat's nails will grow at a different rate, but it's good practice to trim your cat's nails somewhere between every two weeks and every month so that its nails don't get too long, split, or break.  Though your cat will likely sharpen its claws and keep them in good shape on its own, keep an eye on its nails nonetheless. Your cat could be walking around with a broken nail, and you can help it out by trimming it into shape. Older cats need special attention because their nails are thicker and can sometimes press around into the pads and cut into them. Check your older cat's nails every week, and clip the tip off if necessary. This is much easier than letting the nails get overgrown, which can cause them to impact into the pads. If this happens then the cat will need to see a veterinarian because antibiotics may be necessary.

Article in English: Don't get other people to ask them out for you, don't be a jerk to the person that they're dating, and don't be dramatic about talking or not talking to them. This will only stress you out and make other people (including your crush) not want to deal with you. If you want to go out with your crush, just ask them out. Cut out the worry from your life and get it over with. At least you'll know how they feel and you can move on. Besides, they'll appreciate your bravery in asking. If you do ask them out, do it in private. This will be less stressful for you and they won't feel pressured into giving you an answer they don't really mean. They may not even have ever thought about you romantically, even if they would like to date you in the end! Give them the opportunity to decide. When you ask them out, ask with a specific date in mind. This will keep things from getting awkward. Ask something like, "Would you like to go out to a movie with me this weekend?" or "Do you want to come with me to the arcade on Friday?". If they don't return your feelings, don't feel like it's the end of the world. Although your crush might have seemed perfect or perfect for you, keep in mind that there are plenty of people out there. You want someone who returns your feelings - so if your crush doesn't, then they just weren't the right person for you. You will find your special someone!

Article in English: Don't get overwhelmed by a class presentation or a long paper. Remember that you don't have to finish a project in one sitting.  List all the different steps you must complete to finish the project. Make a schedule that forces you to finish one small piece of the project per day. For a paper, you might read and summarize one source on day one; another source on day two, a third source on day three; synthesize their arguments on day four; outline your argument on day five; integrate quotations from your sources into your outline on day six; write your paper on days seven and eight; rest on day nine; and revise on day ten. If you want to stay motivated in school, you need something to look forward to. Bargain with yourself: if you study for two hours, you can watch your favorite TV show at 8:00. If you get an A on your paper, you'll take the whole weekend off and just relax.  Remember that nobody can work all the time. Give yourself a little time off when you deserve it. If you don't meet your goals, keep yourself to your promise. If you goof off on social media for half of the two hours you were supposed to be studying, don't let yourself watch your favorite TV show! If you don't achieve the work goals you set for yourself, give yourself a punishment. You'll work harder during the week if slacking off means you can't go to the movies with your friends over the weekend. Spread the news: you're setting a high bar for yourself. Tell your friends, your parents, tell everyone you know that you plan on bringing your English grade up to a B by the end of the semester, or that you're going to ace the chemistry test. By telling others about your goals, you will work harder to avoid the embarrassment of failing to meet those goals. If you work your best and still fail to meet those goals, don't be discouraged. Redouble your efforts. With hard work and time, you'll meet your goals.

Article in English: Don't get sucked in to thinking that you can find girls only to date when you're out at a party or at the bar or pub.  You never know where or when you might meet a girl who would be open to a night out with you if you play your cards right. The saying “there are plenty of fish in the sea” reflects this fact. If you want to find a girl to pick up, keep your eyes open everywhere you go: at work, in cafes, on the street, pretty much anywhere public. That being said, there are a couple of important things to keep in mind:  A supermarket pickup is a hard sell. Most people don't go to the grocery store or the bank because they are hoping to find romance, which is why the conventional wisdom rightly suggests that bars, clubs, and parties are the best places to meet potential dates. Do not expect a good response if you try picking up girls in places they have to go because life demands it. Instead, consider open-air markets, cafes, and other places people go because they want to be out. It is likely that girls in such places will be at least somewhat more receptive to meeting new people, since they are not on important business. Unless you are hoping to become some sort of Don Juan (note: you will not succeed if this is your plan), perform a “ring test” before hitting on anyone. Is the girl wearing a band or diamond-set ring on either ring finger (or both)? If so, she is likely married (left hand) or engaged to be married (right hand). Respect that and leave her alone. This varies widely from country to country, but generally speaking, there is a clear paradigm in the Western world (that is, Europe, Australia, and North America) that defines what men and women find attractive in the opposite sex. It's actually very complicated, but at the most basic level, it works like this: Women are primarily attracted to social power and influence; men are primarily attracted to fertility and health (which is why Western culture is obsessed with making women look youthful).  There is a whole universe of things that men can do to...

Article in English: Don't give up the fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, fish, and avocados after your baby is born. The period after you give birth is an important window for making sure your skin continues to get the vitamins it needs to renew itself and recover from stretching.  Don't go on a crash diet to lose weight after pregnancy. Lose it gradually, just as you gained it gradually, so your skin has time to tighten itself. Continue hydrating yourself with plenty of water to help your skin retain elasticity. Now that the baby has been born, you are no longer limited to exercises that are safe to do during pregnancy. Exercise four or five times a week, focusing in the following areas:  Strength training. Building strong muscles helps your skin tighten up. Try weightlifting, and work with a trainer to figure out what exercises are right for you. Cardio workouts. Swimming, running, and biking keep your circulation healthy and help your skin bounce back into shape. If you do end up with a few stretch marks - which can happen even if you take preventative measures - treat them while they're still new. Apply a stretch mark salve containing glycolic acid to your abdomen, sides, and wherever red streaks have appeared.  Prescription creams containing retinoids, which should not be ingested while you are pregnant or nursing, have also been shown to help with stretch marks.  Using glycolic acid and retinoids at the same time may produce better results than using the products on their own.  If these products just aren't making the marks go away, laser treatments for stretch mark removal are an effective choice.

Article in English: Don't go out and buy a tank top for the next heatwave if it's November in Chicago. Sometimes buying out of season is smart if the clearance for that item is low enough. For a general rule, buy pragmatically and buy clothes that you could wear tomorrow. Since you're improving your style, you'll feel better buying clothes you can easily show off. Upgrading your wardrobe can be an expensive endeavor. If you have a smaller budget, consider buying in small increments and don't feel obliged to update everything you own. Create a budget of how much you'll allow yourself to spend before going shopping.  Create a list of the essentials you need before shopping. Don't get stuck shopping to feel good if you can't afford it. Pick someone to come along with you who either dresses well or plays devil's advocate to your style. Having a pal around can help you sift through clothes faster and more efficiently. It helps to have someone whose opinion you trust about certain clothes you aren't sure about. Everyone has their colors that they feel comfortable in. If you find something that falls outside of your color palette, think hard about it. Especially try on the clothes that fit outside your color comfort.  There's no reason not to buy something if it looks good, or fits into the style you're going for. Just think about it and save the receipt. A large part of pulling off an outfit is having the proper fit.  Finding clothes that do fit you can sometimes be difficult. For tops check the shoulder and chest dimensions. The shoulder's seam should reach the edge of your shoulder and the chest shouldn't be too tight. Pants should fit comfortably around your waist and not sag.  Use changing rooms to evaluate the fit.  If the buttons are gaping, you'll probably need one size larger. Don't feel ashamed to get a larger size. Buying too small can be uncomfortable and unflattering. Don't succumb to uncomfortable clothes for fashion. Feel the material at the store and ask yourself, "would I enjoy being wrapped in this?" You can also pay...

Article in English: Don't go too overboard -- Pocahontas certainly wasn't orange. If your skin is pale, go for a sunkissed look with blushes and bronzers. If you made it yourself, all the better! Check out images of Pocahontas online if you want to imitate the Disney character. Hers was blue with a white pendant. The necklace is a good opportunity to add color to your costume. Consider armbands and bracelets as well, but don't go overboard. Pick one or two accessories. Less is more here. If you'd like to make it more manageable, braid it into one or two long braids. Pocahontas doesn't have to have dark hair, but it is the traditional look. If you have long hair already, you may want to invest in a swimming cap to keep your tresses from sneaking out and putting a damper on your completed look. Use the same material you used to make your outfit. Cut three long strands and braid them together, starting with the end knotted. Braid enough to wrap around your head, but leave loose ends to dangle. You can then attach beads or feathers to the hanging ends to spice up your outfit. Just tie at the base of your head and then again at the bottom of the strands.

Article in English: Don't hang or droop your head; act like you have an invisible string attached at the top of your head holding you up because then you will be above the audience on the catwalk, keeping your chin facing slightly down will let the audience see more of your face. Additionally, keeping your chin slightly tilted down will add angle to your face and will help lend you a little bit of attitude. You don't want to distract from the clothes you are wearing with a smile. Look in the mirror and try to hold your mouth naturally to see how it looks and feels. Ask someone else how your facial expressions look. Sometimes other people will be able to see things that you don't notice.  For example, ask your friend “Do I look fierce?”. If your lips slightly part naturally, you don't have to force your lips closed. When it comes to making a good supermodel facial expression, the emphasis in the facial expression is on the eyes and eyebrows. Keep your eyes fixed on a point, and do not look around you. Stay concentrated on where you are going, and look alert and at attention. Focus on something that gives you purpose, and it will show in your eyes.  It may be tempting to make eye contact with someone in the audience; however, hold your facial expression, and avoid eye contact. Be careful not to trip as you are walking. You should occasionally check your walk with your eyes only to keep yourself balanced and confident in your walk. Use a mirror or a friend to double-check how your look is coming across. Keep trying with different looks until you find one that works as a supermodel look while feeling natural for you.

Article in English: Don't hit the snooze button, linger in bed, and watch TV at the very start of your day. You probably didn't factor in an extra 10 or 15 minutes in bed when you planned out what time you'd need to wake up in the morning in order to get to your scheduled events on time. By getting up late you are setting a pattern of lateness for the rest of the day. Those extra minutes in bed will add up and push everything else back, so get up as quickly as you can.  Place your clock on the other side of the room to help force yourself to get out of bed. This gets you up and moving, and makes it impossible to hit the snooze button. Try stretching, splashing your face with water, and brushing your teeth right away to wake your body up more quickly. If you can't get out of bed on time, you may be going to bed too late.  Go to sleep earlier to see if that helps. This makes it a lot easier to get up on time and helps you stay on task during the day. Unless you know otherwise, assume you need eight hours of sleep every night. For example, you might be under the impression that you take a 15-minute shower, assuming that starting at 6:30 you can leave at 6:45. But, what about the time you spend before and after the actual shower? It's quite possible you really spend 20 or even 30 minutes in the bathroom, and that's why you can never leave by 6:45. So, think about the things you do every day, and try to keep an estimate of how long it takes you. Time yourself a few days in a row to see how long it actual takes you to perform certain tasks. Use a stopwatch and record the times over the course of a week, then average the times so you'll have an accurate indication of how much time to plan for each activity. What do you get caught up doing that prevents you from getting out the door? "Time sinkholes," like getting distracted while checking emails, spending too long curling your hair, or stopping at a coffee shop on the way to work are often unnoticed by us, and can throw off daily planning. When you discover a sinkhole, try to change...

Article in English: Don't hit the snooze on your alarm or go back to sleep but get right out of bed to start your day on the move. You are more likely to get and stay energized by starting your day out active. This can take practice to make it a habit. Try placing your alarm clock out of arm's reach. This will insure that you need to actually physically get out of bed before hitting the snooze. You are more likely to start your day out groggily if you are sleep deprived. This can also hurt your motivation and your ability to not be lazy the following day. Get plenty of rest to make sure you're at your best when you get up in the morning, feeling rested, rejuvenated, and ready to start your day!  Everyone needs different amounts of sleep to function their best but shoot for at least six or seven hours. Put away all electronics and screens when you're winding down for bed. Try to get as comfortable as possible and block out any possible distractions that will keep your mind moving. Exercise first thing in the morning. This will help your energy level remain high and take advantage of peak hormone times. Exercise is also proven to help concentration and focus for the rest of the day. Don't skip breakfast. Breakfast has physiological benefits, but also mental and mood improving effects. Eating a healthy breakfast will help your energy level stay up, your brain function peak, and even improves memory and concentration.

Article in English: Don't hold your fear inside. Instead, talk it out with the person drawing your blood or giving you an injection. It helps them to know because they can try to distract you and make you feel as comfortable as possible. Tell them if you have a specific want, such as if you want warning so you can look away before they bring the needle out. Asking them to count to three before sticking you can also help. If you are getting a shot instead of having blood drawn, you can sometimes get an alternative form. For instance, flu vaccines can be given through the nasal cavities instead of a shot. Unless you need a large amount of blood drawn, you can likely get away with a smaller needle, typically a butterfly needle. Ask the person drawing your blood if one will work for your situation, being sure to explain why. If you are afraid of needles, you likely don't want someone poking into your arm again and again. Request that they take all the blood they need the first time they poke you. If your procedure requires multiple needle sticks, ask if you can return another day to complete the blood draw or injections to give yourself a break. If you're worried that someone won't do a good job, ask for a technician to do it, particularly if you are at a large facility. If you're afraid, most people will understand why you want an expert who can do it quickly.

Article in English: Don't house the hedgehog under your stereo player or television. As a prey animal in the wild that depends largely on its sense of hearing, your hedgehog will find too much noise and activity very distressing. Ensure that noise, lighting and activity levels are low in its vicinity and move the cage if the noise levels increase for any reason. Hedgehogs can get used to noise if introduced gradually. Hedgehogs are prone to putting on weight, so exercise is a must for them. This means plenty of toys, along with its hedgehog wheel. Toys should be something they can chew, push, nuzzle and even tip over, as long as they cannot chew pieces off or swallow. Be sure their nails or feet can't get caught in any loose strings or small holes.  Possible toys include: rubber balls, old kids' toys, rubber figures, baby teething rings, empty toilet paper tubes cut in half lengthwise, cat balls or bird toys with bells inside, etc.  Let your hedgehog play in a larger playpen occasionally. You can purchase a large plastic tub or let it explore your bath (without water, of course). Hedgehogs are notoriously good at hiding ailments, so it is extremely necessary to be aware of your hedgehog. Keep track of any changes and call your vet to see if there's something that needs to be checked out.  If your hedgehog doesn't eat for one or two days, something is wrong and it needs veterinary attention. Hedgehogs that go for a few days without food are at risk of developing fatty liver disease, a life-threatening condition.  Watch out for scaly, dry skin around the quills: this could be a sign of mites, which can be debilitating if left unchecked. Wheezing or crackly respiration as well as discharge on the face or wrists are signs of respiratory infection, a common and serious condition in hedgehogs. Soft stools for more than a day, or diarrhea combined with listlessness or lack of appetite can be signs of a parasite infection or other illness. Hibernation, though occurring in the wild, is not safe for hedgehogs living in captivity. As...

Article in English: Don't invest in your own surfboard if you've never tried surfing before. At most beaches good for surfing, rental spots will be available close to the beach, offering reasonably cheap rental options, by the hour or by the day.  You'll usually be able to choose between fiberglass boards and soft surfboards, sometimes called “soft tops” or "foamies." Soft surfboards are lightweight and much cheaper than epoxy or fiberglass boards. Soft boards are extremely buoyant and durable, making them a good choice for beginners. Your size and weight will contribute to determining which type of board you should learn on.  The more weight you have, the bigger the board volume you will need.  You may not have a good experience learning to surf if you are trying to learn on a board that is too small for you. If you're not sure what you want, talk to people at the surf shop. Be honest and tell them that you're a first-timer and you want to know what you need to get started. Longboards are the oldest and longest type of surfboard commonly available, ranging from 8 to 12 feet (2.4 to 3.7 m) in length. While they're not quite as maneuverable or versatile as other types of boards, longboards are often recommended for beginners because of their ease of use.  The more volume a longboard has, the easier it is to balance and paddle into waves.  This makes for more enjoyable experiences for most learners. If you've tried a longboard and want something a little more maneuverable, you should try a funboard. Funboards are hybrid boards which are a bit shorter than longboards, typically 7–8.5 feet (2.1–2.6 m). Funboards combine the smoothness and stability of a longboard with some of the agility of a shortboard. et a wetsuit.  In many places, a wetsuit is just as essential as the board itself to ensure an enjoyable surfing experience. The wetsuit keeps your body warm in cold water, helping prevent chills and hypothermia. If the local surf shop recommends a wetsuit, get fitted and rent or purchase one before you hit the beach. . Surfboard...

Article in English: Don't invite the other party into your space and don't approach the other party on his or her space. Instead, invite the other person to somewhere you could consider neutral ground—as in, a place not belonging to either of you.  For example, don't invite the other party into your office or offer to hold the conversation in his or her office. Consider holding the conversation in a meeting room (if you both work at the same company), living room (if you both live in the same house), or low-key public area, like a park or coffee shop. Avoid audiences. Even if you have the conversation in a public place, it's best to choose somewhere with a limited audience. Neither you nor the other person in the conversation may feel comfortable enough to be honest when there are onlookers observing your every move and sentence. Ideally, you should aim to converse until the two of you can resolve the issue. Some conversations can sink into an endless loop, though, preventing any real progress from occurring. To prevent this from happening, it might be helpful to set a time limit for the conversation before you start it. Each situation is different, but 30 to 60 minutes is usually a good time limit to stick with. If there's still more to say after that amount of time passes, part ways and address it another day. Be direct and honest about the topic you want to discuss, but introduce that topic in a calm, non-accusatory manner so that the other person does not automatically raise his or her guard.  Consider a line like, "I think we're viewing _____ blank differently, and I'd like to take a few minutes to talk and see if we can understand each other better." Be upfront about the matter at hand. Don't make the conversation seem less important than it really is, or else you run the risk of making the other person feel tricked and trapped into a corner.

Article in English: Don't jump at a closed bar. Bars close for a reason.  Look for the right area to be in.  Preferably, find one that has a higher proportion of young adults, who — unsurprisingly — hang out in bars. The more bars/nightclubs there are in the vicinity, the more competition you'll face. When choosing a location for your bar, remember this:  Highway access is crucial if you want to attract crosstown business. Parking is essential if you're in an area where people don't tend to walk. Street visibility is a good thing. Being noticeable from the street is important in attracting foot traffic. It's no secret that stressed-out and tired patrons want a little R&R after a busy day at work. Especially during the workweek, being in the center of commercial hustle and bustle may prove more profitable than being near the suburbs. It doesn't have to be an in-your-face, without a doubt theme. Subtle can work, too, as long as you have other factors working in your favor. But it pays to know what your bar is all about. So, what will it be?  Neighborhood bar. This is where Chuck and his buddies congregate after work on Wednesdays, and perhaps play darts or even cash checks. (Well, probably not.) Neighborhood bars are probably the most popular types of bars, and are perfect for small-scale entertainment.  Sports bar. This is where die-hard fans and curious fans alike gather to watch the game on Sunday. Expect to offer food in these sorts of bars, and to have a television viewable from every seat in the house. Brewpubs. This is where discerning beer drinkers go to get their fix. You'll probably have lots of niche or local beers on tap, and some brewpubs even make and offer their own beer on the premises. Brewpubs that manufacture a popular beer can capitalize on their product in several different ways. Specialty bars. This is where you'll find intimate wine bars or specialty martini bars. Specialty bars either have a décor theme, such as a pirate theme, or a liquor theme, such as rum — or they combine it into an amazing...

Article in English: Don't just be willing to hear your parents out — actively ask for their input in the decision. The better you understand why they don't want you to wear makeup, the better you can address their concerns.  "I know why I think makeup will make me feel better. Why do you think it will be bad for me?" Pay close attention to what they say, and try to answer each of their concerns directly. Your parents might be worried that overnight, you're going to change from their little girl to a fully made-up woman. Ease that concern by starting small.  Say that you want to start with only concealer and blush to hide your acne. You might ask for a little more leeway every year, as you get older. After a year, ask if you can add eye-shadow to your makeup routine, or eye-liner. If your parents are worried that you're trying to grow up too fast, they might be right. Think of how silly your mother would look with bright pink lipstick and blue nail polish! She looks good in makeup because she wears makeup appropriate for her age. Explain to your parents that you'll do the same thing.  Ask for lightly tinted lip balms or glosses instead of a deep red, sexy lipstick. Keep all makeup on your face light and natural-looking. You want to enhance your natural beauty, not change your face. Maybelline Baby Lips is a good tinted lip balm to start out with. You don't want your parents to think that you want something for nothing. Be willing to give them something they want in return for your makeup privileges. Some examples might include:  You can only wear makeup as long as you keep your grades up. You'll take on an extra weekly chore around the house. Makeup doesn't have to mean that you're growing up and away from your parents. It can actually bring you closer together! Go to sephora/local makeup store or watch YouTube tutorials with your mom, you could look at products and find out what is acceptable and unacceptable. YouTube tutorials would give clear ideas of what makeup looks are okay and what aren't. Going into the store also allows...

Article in English: Don't just call and start running in with your pitch. Work on creating a dialogue with the potential donor, which may mean making some polite small talk at the start. It can be as simple as asking the person how his or her day is going. Anything to start a conversation should help disarm the individual, and make the person realize that you're a caring and concerned member of the community.  If the prospective donor is a known philanthropist, he or she may prefer to have someone who heads the foundation ask for a donation. Statistically, donors are more likely to give money to a recognizable figure affiliated with an organization, rather than to a fundraiser who contacts them on the organization's behalf.  Initiate the conversation by getting the prospective donor to acknowledge an existing problem. If you're raising money for a local organization, you might open the conversation by asking what he or she thinks is the greatest crisis facing your region. You shouldn't just introduce yourself by asking for money, but you should make your intentions known near the end of your small talk. Start by asking how the person is doing, or commenting on the weather, and then use that as a lead-in to say, "I'm working with _______, and we're trying to help _______ be able to ________." If the individual feels like you're just having an aimless conversation and then suddenly he or she is asked for money, it may create tension and cause the person to feel like you're shaking them down. Be calm, friendly, and casual, but don't drag your feet about making it clear that you have a purpose. Chances are, if you launch into your usual appeal to a person on the street who's never donated before, that person will walk away. But if you have created a dialogue, and made room for the other person to speak, you may be able to get that individual to feel engaged and a part of the solution.   Try asking a question. Say something like, "What do you think is the biggest problem our community faces?" Once the person has answered, instead of...

Article in English: Don't just dive directly onto your partner's neck and go in for the hickey. Spend some time kissing and French kissing first, then move your lips to your partner's throat.  Start with light kisses, then move into harder and more insistent kisses around the throat and collarbone. If your partner seems to enjoy it, you're probably clear to move into giving a hickey, but you should always check in with them first. "Hickey" isn't the sexiest word to whisper into someone's ear, so if you've avoided asking for permission until now, you should mention that you'd like to leave a mark on your partner's skin and see how they respond. They are usually found on the neck. However, the skin in the crook of your elbow or on the inner thigh are also pleasurable locations.  If you know your partner would be extremely embarrassed at having a visible hickey, don't just put it in the middle of the throat where anyone can see, and ask them where is the most comfortable location. The side or the back of the neck is a good bet if your partner has long hair, or you could go to the collarbones, closer to the shoulder, so the skin can be covered by a regular crew-neck T-shirt. Imagine you are making the letter "O" with your lips, then press them firmly onto your partner's skin so that you can make a good seal, without leaving any gaps for the air to escape. Try to keep your mouth soft and inviting as you do this, instead of going into a hard pucker. The key here is to suck hard enough to break the capillaries just beneath the skin, but not so hard that you cause your partner too much pain. You will need to suck for 20 to 30 seconds in order to make a mark. Remember:  Keep your teeth out of the way. You don't want them digging painfully into your partner's skin. Teeth can be used lightly to intensify the pleasure of the experience if that is what your partner desires. Break up the sucking. If 30 solid seconds of hickey-making strikes you as too weird, try 10 seconds, some kissing, then another 10 seconds in the same spot, and so on....

Article in English: Don't just give your boyfriend a six pack of his favorite beer and take him out to Pizza Hut. Put in an effort to figuring out what he really likes and cares about, and what gift would actually mean something to him, and what would surprise him and make him see that you've put an effort into the gift. When it comes to gifts, one size does not fit all, so try to get your boyfriend something personalized, special, and something he wouldn't think to get on his own. Remember that the best gifts are often given "just because," not for a birthday or another special occasion. Here are some ideas to get you started:  Does he love hiking or camping? Get him the latest camping or hiking gear, something he's been wanting for a while. Does he love fine ales or wines? Get him a subscription to a beer or wine of the month club. Is he a video game junkie? Get him a new game that's all the rage, or update his gaming equipment. Is he a concert fanatic? Find out when his favorite band is coming to town before he does and get him some tickets. Not every not-in-person communication has to come through a computer or a phone. If you're going to be apart for a day or two, or even for a few hours, write him a sweet note telling him how much he means to you or how much you'll miss him while you're apart. Just telling him to have a nice day and to let him know that you're thinking of him can make all the difference. You can write your note on a post-it and put it on his mirror, put the note it in his lunch bag, school bag, or work bag, or leave the note on his windshield. Part of the romance will come from the surprise. Though you and your boyfriend can probably have fun no matter where you go, you should make an effort to plan some dates that are special and feel really romantic. This depends on what you and your boyfriend like and the kinds of things that make you happy together. If you suggest a date that would be perfect for your boyfriend, then he'll be impressed by how much thought and effort you're putting into the...
