Article in English: . Take stock of your current exercise regimen. If you are exercising little, you have a lot of options to explore as you become more healthy. If you are already exercising, think about how you might want to add to the activities you already do. You might want to start a new exercise class to inspire you to exercise more. A half hour of moderate exercise six days a week is all it takes to start making a difference if you’re exercising little. Keep in mind that you also don’t have to do it all at once -- ten minutes here and twenty there will work just as well. Don’t do the same thing every day (unless you love it). Walk one day, take a yoga class another, and try new activities. Check with your local gym or YMCA for their schedules and amenities. If you try and do a new activity every week or so, you might find your new favorite exercise routine. If you want to be a health nut, you need to be doing serious exercise, and moderate walks are not going to be enough. Think about what sports or kinds of training you might enjoy. You will need to do these activities most days and at a rate that allows your heart rate to stay elevated for 20-30 minutes at a time. You should also mix them up with some weight training. Some good options for cardiovascular exercise might be:  Swimming Tennis Cross-training in a gym Boot-camp style exercise course

Article in English: . Take time to plot out the course of each day.  More than just list building, actually visualize the steps you will take to complete important projects and tasks. Research has shown that visualizing activities increases the speed and success of task completion, meaning that when you visualize your plan, you are able to get more done each day.  Below are suggested ways to harness visualization for success:  Focus your mind on the personal attributes you'll need to be successful. Regardless of whether you are the president of a bank or a school's PTA, there are attributes that all successful people share.  Listening, learning, communicating, delegating, organizing, just to name a few, and the kinds of skills that successful people possess. Imagine what success will look like.  Are you striving to be a successful interior designer, or stay-at-home parent?  In either case, it's important to visualize what success will look like for you, down to details like what you'll be wearing and who else will be present. Use affirmations. Vision corresponds with verbal and written affirmations.  For example, if you want to be a successful golfer, close your eyes and repeat to yourself "I can see myself on the green.  I am comfortable and confident and prepared to swing.  When I hit the ball, it goes exactly where I want it to.  It lands on the green, 2 strokes ahead of par." Part of success is self-awareness and part of self-awareness is understanding the motives that drive your desires and behaviors.  It requires identifying your goals, what is gained by achieving them, and how those achievements positively impact your life. For example, if you want a promotion at work, ask yourself why.  Is it for more money or greater personal achievement? Is it because you are trying to impress someone else? By thinking reflexively about your goal orientation, you may even find yourself re-assessing your needs and making smarter decisions.Thus, if you realize the reason you want a promotion doesn't actually correspond with the person...

Article in English: . Taking showers regularly and keeping up on your appearance is the first step to showing the world you're interested in it.  Deodorant and toothpaste do great things for unwanted scents. Applying deodorant every day and brushing your teeth after each meal will ensure that you're always looking and feeling fresh and clean. Light make-up will enhance your best features. Make sure not to go too overboard; most men prefer a more natural look. Too much make-up says you're not beautiful without it--which clearly isn't true! Whatever you feel best in looks best on you. Whether it's dresses, t-shirts, or leather cowboy boots, your clothes are a symbol of you.  Don't try to fit in with a certain look. You want to attract guys that like you--not who you are trying to be. Dress for the occasion. It may be tempting to wear sweatpants to your cousin's bar mitzvah, but negative attention is not what you want.

Article in English: . Tell your prospective hosts when you'll arrive, why you'd like to meet them, and how long you'll be staying. Explain a little about your visit. Are you touring the area? In town for an event? Passing through on the way to someplace else? Also, make sure you've filled in your profile, so they know a little about you.

Your host is a volunteer, and is most likely open to hosting because it means getting to meet people. Think of stories and skills you can share with your host during your visit, and activities that you could do together.  Choose a factoid to use as an icebreaker, such as a shared taste in music or a location you've both visited. If nothing comes to mind, plan on asking your host whether he's hosted couch surfers before, or what he likes to do for fun in the area. Communicate using the built-in tools on the website, not personal contact info, until you are sure you are compatible and decide to go through with the couch surf. Once a host has accepted your request, communicate with him to figure out the logistics. Let him know whether the dates you give him are set in stone, or whether you might show up late or leave early. Whether you're traveling by plane, car, or foot, make sure you know how to get to your host's home, and what number to call if you get lost.  Ask whether you'll have your own key, or whether there are certain times you'll need to show up to be let in. Find out the details of the accommodation. You may need to bring your own sleeping bag, pillow, and/or towel. As a permanent member of the local community, your host can provide advice and warnings that aren't easy to find online.

Article in English: . Tempt your cat out of hiding or back home by calling him/her and shaking the normal box of dry food or treats. The sound of opening a can of cat food may get a response, and if the food has a really strong scent, the cat might even respond to the smell.   Lost cats are usually too wary to approach sounds, even familiar ones, but this may work in the middle of the night, when it is dark and no one is around. Pause and listen for a response after each call.  Unless you can stay up to watch all night, food left out can attract raccoons, foxes, and other cats. Leave half the food in a closed plastic container with a few holes punched in the lid. This will cause animals (hopefully your cat) to smell the food without being able to get at it, and may cause them to hang around your door longer. Cats are highly territorial and are likely to come home from time to time. If everybody is out searching and there is no one home, your cat may wander off again. Keep the other end of the baby monitor by your bed, loud enough that you'll be woken up if your cat shows up and meows. Many animal shelters will rent or lend traps that are easy to use. Feed stores even sell them. Check the trap hourly. If a wild animal is caught in it, allow it to go free and reset the trap. catnip around your front door and surrounding area. This option may not be wise if your neighbors have cats as it will draw them to the area.

Article in English: . The End portal leads to the final, most challenging area in Minecraft. Locating it and activating is a long quest involving many Eyes of Ender. Try this only when you're ready to face the fearsome Ender Dragon. If you are on Pocket Edition, the End Portal will only work on infinite (not "Old") worlds running on version 1.0 or later (released December 2016). When you travel through the End portal, a platform of 9 obsidian blocks will appear for you to stand on. Mine it with the diamond pickaxe (though you may want to kill that dragon bothering you first). The island with the Ender Dragon has several tall towers with purple crystals atop them. The towers are made entirely of obsidian. You can return to the Overworld either by dying, or by defeating the Ender Dragon and walking through the exit portal that appears. Each time you walk through an End portal, the 9-block obsidian platform will respawn. This makes it one of the fastest ways to get infinitely recurring obsidian. The obsidian pillars do not respawn unless you respawn the dragon. To bring back the dragon, place four ender crystals on top of the exit portal that appeared when the dragon died.

Article in English: . The Stoics were ancient philosophers who were pretty much the experts at being at peace. It is the whole point of their philosophy! Read up on the Stoic philosophy and the lives of the Stoic philosophers and see how you can apply their lessons to your own life. A Guide to the Good Life, by William B Irvine, is a great modern primer on Stoic philosophy. Holy texts, whether we're talking about the Bible or the Quran, can all teach us how to find peace by living more fulfilling lives. Even if you're not a religious person, there's plenty of wisdom to be found in the holy texts of cultures all over the world. You will find that almost all of them teach the same ideals! Spiritual advisers, such as priests and monks, can also help advise you on how to find inner peace. Even if you don't want a religious solution, they are experts in the soul and human mind and should be able to help you find productive, inspiring ways to improve your experience of life.

Article in English: . The abuse that you endured was not your fault, and there is never any justification for abuse, emotional or physical. All people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. It's important to let go of feelings of guilt you may be experiencing as a result of ending this relationship, and let your healing continue. Write down a list of people in your life who make you feel good about yourself and who'll be willing to talk to you when you're struggling through something. If you feel like going back to your abuser, or if you feel yourself cycling down into feelings of negativity and guilt, call up your friend for a coffee or a quick chat. Write down all the abuser's criticisms that haunt you and cause you to keep undervaluing yourself. Get them out. Don't worry about trying to reason with them, refute them, or disagree with them. They're not even worthy of that. Instead, take the paper and burn it over a candle, or tear it up and flush it down the toilet. Destroy those negative comments, as a ritual. Let them go and never think of them again. It's very important to stop obsessing over the negativity and the content of the emotional abuse that you endured. Don't argue with the criticism, or with the abuser. Don't worry about refuting the criticisms, because it was never worth listening to in the first place. It's beneath you. You may feel as if you were abused because you are unattractive, uninteresting or unworthy, but this is not true. You were abused because somebody cruel chose to treat you badly.  Right now, write down a list of times in your life that you felt confident, satisfied, and happy. What are your biggest successes? What have you done right? Whenever you find yourself feeling unworthy because of the false messages your abuser gave you, use your lists of positive memories to counteract your negative feelings.

Article in English: . The best way to act confident is to feel confident. There are several things you can do to help your self-confidence and self-esteem, which in turn will help you feel better in a variety of situations. Believing in yourself is the secret to confidence.  While you can act confident, you will be much more convincing if you believe in your confidence.

Set realistic goals and meet them. Give yourself the confidence to know that you can successfully accomplish goals. Love yourself for who you are. Accept yourself for your positives and negatives.

Think about your positive attributes. Consider the things you’ve done well and succeeded at (no matter how big or small). Make a list of positive things to say about yourself.

Article in English: . The best way to avoid sexually transmitted infections and/or pregnancy is by delaying or avoiding sexual activity.  But if you do not want to wait, be safe and use a condom every time that you have sex.  It is a common myth that you cannot become pregnant or contract an STI the first time you have sex. You can become pregnant or infected with an STI any time that you have sex, so it is crucial to protect yourself. When used every time and in the right way, condoms are very effective in preventing STIs.  If your partner protests using condoms, do not give in to the pressure. Make it clear that you are not interested in a sexual relationship unless it is a safe one.  You may also consider getting a vaccine to prevent HPV, which is the virus that causes genital warts and cervical cancer. Talk to your doctor about HPV vaccines like Gardasil and Cervarix. Birth control pills alone will not prevent against sexually transmitted infection, but using birth control pills as well as a condom can reduce your risk of pregnancy even further. Condoms are 82% effective against pregnancy, while birth control pills are 91% effective against pregnancy. Therefore, using condoms and birth control pills together can reduce your chances of becoming pregnant even further while still helping to protect you from STIs. The first time can be very stressful, so you might benefit from doing some stress reduction exercises before you get started. Try taking long, deep breaths to calm yourself before you have sex. Remember that everyone is a little nervous the first time, so there is nothing abnormal about feeling this way. Part of what makes sex fun is the foreplay and romance. Take your time and enjoy the moment. Don’t feel like you need to race to finish. Just take your time and enjoy the experience. Try setting a romantic mood by playing some soft music, dimming the lights, and talking for a bit before you start. If you are not enjoying the experience at any point, you should tell your partner. Likewise, if your partner asks you to...

Turn the heat to high and boil until the syrup turns a deep amber color. Do not stir the mixture, swirl the pan instead. Use a wet pastry brush to brush any syrup from the sides of the pan. Add 2/3 of a cup of whipping cream, the mixture will bubble vigorously. Whisk in 1/2 stick of butter, until melted. Remove from heat. A pinch of ground cinnamon may be added to the pastry mixture for warm, slightly spicy alternative. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon to the chocolate sauce, to complement the cinnamon pastries. For a seasonal twist, use pumpkin flavored ice cream to sandwich the cinnamon profiteroles together. You may add two tablespoons of prepared, strong coffee to the chocolate sauce for a caffeinated kick. Use coffee ice cream to fill the profiteroles to enhance the coffee flavor.

Article in English: . The clear shell can be peeled off with your fingers and the dark vein running through the center of the back can be removed with the tip of a sharp knife.  If the head and legs are still attached, pull them off with your fingers.     Use your fingers to peel back the outer shell, starting from the head end and working toward the tail. The tail can be removed or kept on for decoration.     Cut down the center of the shrimp's back with a paring knife. Make a shallow cut that is just deep enough to reveal the vein.     Dig the vein out with the tip of your knife.    Fill a large saucepan with 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) of water and heat on the stove over high heat. Place a steamer rack inside of the saucepan as the water comes to a boil.  If desired, you could add lemon juice and salt to the water instead of adding it to the shrimp. Doing so will create a more subtle flavor, allowing more of the shrimp's natural taste to come through.     If you do not have a steamer rack or steamer basket, you could use a metal or wire mesh colander, instead.     The water level should be below the bottom of the steamer basket. Do not allow the water to come through the steamer basket. If this happens, you may end up boiling the shrimp instead of steaming it.    Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the steamer rack and sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder, or any other seasonings you choose.  It is best to keep the shrimp in a single layer, but if you end up having multiple layers, the shrimp should still cook through. They may not cook quite as evenly, but the difference will not usually be very distinguishable.     Since there are gaps in the bottom of the steamer rack, you should not toss the shrimp after adding the seasonings, or else a large portion of the seasonings will be lost as you turn the shrimp over.     If you used salt in the water, you do not need to use salt on the shrimp now. The exact amount of time will vary depending on the size of your shrimp. Standard  size shrimp will cook in about 3...

Article in English: . The day of the party, keep a checklist in hand and designate others to help. If you have extensive decorating to do, arrive at your location bright and early. Remember all your items and remember to pick up your balloons and the cake as well. Keep your phone on you! Businesses or friends may be calling for directions or other questions. If people are coming to an area you are unfamiliar with, you may want to put balloons on the mailbox or little arrows along a walk. Or you may have to end up sending someone outside to flag wanderers down! If you're doing it at a public place, ask what signage you can post and where to assist your guests in finding the appropriate area. When the bride opens her gifts, have a pen and paper handy. Sit next to her and write the name of the person who gives her each gift. This will be a huge help to the bride when she writes her "thank you" notes. In fact, many brides can't thank anyone without this list! Don't leave your location dirty after the party. Even if the party was thrown at the beach or a picnic area, you still need to pick up your mess. Send the bride home with the leftover cake and be sure the women have their favors. Hopefully a few other people will be kind enough to help.

Article in English: . The disk might have specs of dust on it that is stopping the console from reading it correctly. It might also have fingerprints and general dirt on it. By cleaning the disk, you might be saving it from being thrown away into the dustbin. Try to keep the disk in its case at all time to avoid this happening. Oh, and don't touch the bottom of it! This can help determine what exactly is the problem. If the other game is working but the one that you want to play is not, you know that the disk is the problem. If both the games are not functioning as they should be, the console might be permanently damaged. This is more unlikely than the disk being the issue but it means that the console is now useless. These types of disks are very easy to find. They are designed to clean the small eye that reads your game disks. Simply put them into your Ps2 and let it run. They shouldn't run for more than half an hour but if that's how long the disk is, let it finish running. After you've used this cleaner disk, try playing your game. If it's still not working, something might be wrong with the actual console, not just the eye.

Article in English: . The fact of the matter is that you will always be you. Always. When you're someone you're not, eventually that person fades away and you return to you. This is the person you'll be working with, so get to know yourself! You'll be more comfortable in your own skin -- you'll be a better person, a better friend, a better boyfriend/girlfriend, a better employee, a better everything. You'll be less stressed and you'll be more confident. You'll know what you're working with and how to work it. Sold yet? Know that you are not your brand or what people think of you. This has nothing to do with anything. You will not be happy if you create an image that caters to the world around you and not to you. If you became the best lyrical soprano this side of Vienna, would that really matter if you truly wanted to the next John Lennon? No. So cater to no one. Find yourself and work with it. . There is no one else out there who is you. Therefore, you are the best you there is. But if you are trying to be someone or something else, that logic goes out the window. You become a second-rate copy of whatever it is you're trying to emulate. No matter who you are (or who you think you are), commit to it. This is the hand you've been dealt. Can't win if you don't play it. To be the best, you can't reinvent the wheel. You can't copy others. You have to do new, innovative things. You have to study biology when you want to become a computer scientist. You have to be yourself to avoid being someone else. Crystal clear? For the rest of your life, you will be your greatest obstacle. You will be the reason you don't walk up to that sexy guy/girl, you will be the reason you don't ask for that raise, you will be the reason you do or do not succeed. Thinking positively opens the door to so many opportunities. When you think you're capable of something, you try. When you view lifelike shooting fish in a barrel, you aim the gun and shoot.

Article in English: . The first step in estimating your systolic blood pressure is to locate your pulse. Your pulse will give you basic information you need to estimate if your systolic blood pressure is relatively normal. Keep in mind this is a very rough estimate and really only tells you if your systolic blood pressure is not low — it doesn't indicate high blood pressure.  Take two fingers, preferably your index and middle fingers, and place them just below the wrist creases on the thumb side of your hand. Don't use your thumb, as your thumb has a strong enough pulse to interfere with this process. Once you’ve got your two fingers in the general area, see if you can feel your radial pulse – the shockwave generated by the beating of your heart. If you feel your pulse, this indicates that your systolic measurement is at least 80 mmHg, which is normal. This does not, however, give you any information as to whether or not your blood pressure is high. If you don’t feel your pulse, your systolic is likely below 80 mmHg, which is still normal.  The reason this indicates your blood pressure is at least 80 mmHg is because your radial artery (the artery in your wrist) is small and your blood pressure has to be at least 80 mmHg for a pulse to reach it.  Not feeling your pulse does not indicate health problems. Estimating your blood pressure without a cuff will give you no information about your diastolic pressure. Some studies have questioned the efficacy of estimating systolic pressure using your pulse. You should recheck your pulse later in the day to get an idea of how your pulse increases after some activity. This will give you more information to determine whether your blood pressure is low, high, or normal.  If you don’t have a detectable pulse after moderate activity, there is a chance you could have low blood pressured. Consult your doctor if you suspect any irregularities.

Article in English: . The first step to building your savings is to get full time or part time employment. You can search for potential jobs online through listing websites or in the classifieds section of your newspaper. The key to landing a job is to find a position that you are qualified for and that plays to your strengths as an applicant. To increase your chances of employment, you should create a strong resume and a cover letter that is customized for the positions you are applying for. You should then send out applications to several positions you think will be a good fit for you, based on your resume and your qualifications. If you already have full time employment but are struggling to save money, you could get a part time job to earn some extra cash. This could be a low skill job like waitressing, bartending, or working as a service employee in retail. You could also take on side opportunities that relate to your full time job. If you are a teacher, for example, you may earn more money on the side by taking open subbing positions or teaching an extra class at a community college nearby. If you are planning on earning part time cash by waitressing or bartending, you will likely need to get your ProServe license before you can get hired by an employer at a bar or restaurant. Most ProServe certifications can be done online for $25-$30 through your state's Preserve program. If you are struggling to find full time employment or are looking for extra income on the side, you may look for other ways to earn some extra cash. This could be by offering to shovel driveways or mow lawns for your neighbors or babysitting for a family friend nearby. Look for temporary work that you can do easily and consistently, like a weekly newsletter delivery route or a paid gig as a nanny for children in the area. Maybe you have always loved to crochet and have gotten very good at making hats and scarves for family and friends. You can use this hobby as a potential source of income by setting up an online shop where you sell your handmade...

Article in English: . The first thing to do to look effortlessly stylish is to make sure that you’re wearing clothes that you feel are good for your body type. Since effortless style is supposed to be subtle, you’ll need well fitting clothes in order to get the elegant, expensive, stylish look from your clothing. You may want garments that make you look thinner and the perfect height, with everything in proportion. Effortless style is mainly based around classic looks. Dressing for current trends just shows that you put way too much thought into that outfit and that you’ve been following fashion news like a broker watching stocks. Choose classic styles in classic cuts for a more effortless look that looks good for years. This means women should beware of floor length casual dresses in favor of knee-length, for example, while men should shy away from skinny-legged suit trousers in favor of something more loose-fitting. What colors are popular and what colors are considered absolutely hideous is very dependent on time and place. Just look at your mom’s clothes from the 1970s, for example. In order to look effortlessly stylish, you’re going to want a more timeless look, which means sticking to more muted and neutral colors. This can, however, be broken up with bold accent colors, especially on accessories.   Muted colors include tan, black, white, denim/navy blue, and gray. Good accent colors include most shades of red, many shades of blue, plum/eggplant purple, golden yellow (like rubber ducks or tulips), and emerald green. Be careful of certain colors. Be wary of other greens and yellows, and generally avoid oranges, as these colors are very prone to going in and out of fashion, but, if you think they are stylish, go for it. Busy prints and textures (like fuzzy/fluffy/feathered fabric) can quickly make an outfit look dated and unstylish, as these tend to be in fashion only for a season or a year at most. Next year it will be another pattern, so why bother? Look effortlessly stylish by keeping your clothes in style across decades,...

Article in English: . The great thing about studying is that you can do it however you want to. So take that naptime of a lecture you were victim of and turn it into something enjoyable. Something that you'll remember.  Use highlighters to highlight important information. Use one color for main concepts, one color for vocabulary, and another color for dates, etc. When you go over your notes, they'll be that much easier to skim.     Make your own charts, graphs, and diagrams from the information. Pictures are so much easier to look at and to recall when you're sitting at that desk at test time. 40% of all carbon emissions come from the agricultural industry? Sounds like time for a pie chart.     It may actually benefit you to rewrite your notes. Studies show that exposing yourself to the information in different ways (that is, instead of just reading it, you're writing it, too) makes it stick in your mind longer. But don't rewrite them all -- stick to a loose outline.    In one study session, all the science is pointing to studying different concepts in different places. Turns out that when your brain is bored with reading about photosynthesis while sitting in your bedroom that it'll actually do you good to go to the cafe and start reading up on Punnett squares. Here's the gist:  Study in different places. Turns out our brains make associations between our surroundings and what's going on. The more associations you have, the stronger the connection.     Study different concepts. You wouldn't expect a basketball player to work on his lay-ups for three hours straight, right? Same goes for students. If you do division problem after division problem, your brain is going to go on autopilot. Work on different concepts to keep your brain from turning to mush.    It's not slacking -- it's you supercharging. It's science you can blame -- it says that breaks help your brain get back into the game and replenish your attentional deficits. So take a 5 or 10 minute break every hour. It'll help -- not hinder -- your memory and focus. If you...

Article in English: . The length of your hair can affect how long and wide your face looks. Go with a length that balances out the dimensions of your face.  Long, straight hair is an excellent choice for round and square faces, because it adds length and minimizes width. Extremely short cuts with more volume on top, such as a pixie cut, can also lengthen short faces and draw attention to the eyes and cheekbones. Medium to short cuts, such as a chin-length or shoulder-length bob, can make long faces look shorter and add fullness to the face. This is a good choice for oval or oblong faces. The shape of your face is an important factor in determining what kind of bangs look best on you (or whether you should have them at all). Consider the following when deciding on bangs:  Long, feathery bangs that frame the forehead in an A-shape can help soften the look of a square face. Side-swept bangs are flattering on a variety of face shapes, including round, heart-shaped, and oval or oblong. Blunt, long, straight-across bangs can make narrow foreheads appear wider and minimize the length of longer faces. . Glasses can change the appearance of your face quite a bit. If you wear glasses, select frames that complement the shape of your face rather than exaggerating it. For example:  Maintain the balance of an oval face with frames that match the width of your face. If you have a heart-shaped face, minimize the breadth of the upper half of your face with light-colored or rimless frames. You can also choose frames that are wider at the bottom. For long faces, such as oblong or rectangular, choose wide frames with low bridges and decorative temple elements that add width. For faces that are narrower on top, such as triangular faces, pick frames that are wider on top, such as cat-eyes. Choose narrow frames for short, wide face shapes, such as square or oval. Curved frames balance out more angular faces, while angular frames work best with round faces. Soften the look of an angular diamond face shape by choosing oval frames. If you wear makeup,...

Article in English: . The matter of fact is that certain techniques don't work for certain people. Some of us learn with our hands, some of us with our eyes, and some of us with our ears (and others a combination). If you can't remember a  thing your professor said, maybe you're just going about it the wrong way.  Once you find out your learning style, you can zone in on what's best for you. Do you remember best the things you've seen? Then study those notes and make graphs! The things you've heard? Go to class and record those lectures. Things you do with your hands? Turn the concepts into something you can build. As much as it is boring and monotonous, it is incredibly useful -- sometimes professors don't even mention the info in class! After reading a paragraph, revise it in your head without looking. Then read it again. It will stay in your mind for a longer time. It is particularly effective when you have less time for studying.  Often the things mentioned in class that are also mentioned in the book are the most important. If you run across some of this while reading, highlight it. You'll want to know where it is to find it later. Don't write off the benefits of scanning. Concentrating on the main ideas (the highlighted text, italics, etc.) will get your mind going. If you can fill in the blanks, great! If you can't, read deeper. For most courses in middle school, high school, and junior/community college, most of what is on the tests and homework will be discussed in the class. If your teacher draws a diagram on the board, copy that down - it can help you remember the information.  Write good, legible notes. Use highlighters if there's something you need to find easily flipping through your notes, but don't highlight too much text or it defeats the purpose. Colored pens are fun to write with if you want to get more creative with your notes, but use them only for sections of your notes that you feel will be on a test or are important. .

Article in English: . The most common tool for drawing in this style is a pencil. Pencils will allow you to easily lay down shadows and leave blank or erase areas for highlights. Pencils are easy to layer, giving you great control over the image you create. They also blend relatively well. Pencils come in different hardnesses (created by containing more or less graphite). The harder the pencil, the lighter the mark it will make. Use different pencils depending on how light or dark your lines need to be. Hard pencils will be labeled with an H and soft pencils with a B. The higher the number listed next to the letter, the more hard or soft the pencil is. A standard pencil, for example, is an HB. You can also use pens for creating realistic drawings. This will rely on highly accurate lines and proportions, as well as hatching, line variation, and etching style shadows. You can use any pen for this but you will have the best results with a nibbed or brush pen, as this will give you a better opportunity to change line widths. . You can use charcoal to create realistic drawings as well. Charcoal is perhaps the easiest drawing medium with which to create shadows and highlights, a crucial aspect of creating realistic drawings. Charcoal is easily smudged and blended, which can be used to your benefit but can also create difficulties. Drawing charcoal comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. Willow or vine charcoal is a nice middle ground, while charcoal pencils are great for doing details. Depending on what media you choose, you will need to be sure to get an appropriate type of paper. Charcoal especially will require paper designed for that medium (a heavily textured paper which gives the charcoal something to latch onto). Pencils will do better with smooth, rag paper since this will help with blending.  Be sure to look for acid-free, archival paper when available. This will keep your drawings from yellowing over time or otherwise aging badly. In addition to special paper, charcoal will require the use of a spray fixative to keep it from...

Article in English: . The most important thing for you to do at first is to remain calm and try to think clearly. If you start to panic, you can lose control and end up forfeiting your chances of survival.  You won't do that well if you've driven yourself crazy. William Golding's novel 'Pincher Martin' is a great example that illustrates how you can't do anything unless you 'take control', because the main character in the story lets panic get the better of him. Try making a "buddy" out of an object or animal near you, and talk to them to calm down. You should make 'safety, water, shelter and food' your main priorities, in that order. Start by asking yourself if the area around you is safe. Look around again and check if there are there any wild animals lurking in close proximity? Does it appear like there could be a flooding risk? The first important step is establishing whether the place where you are is physically safe.

Article in English: . The most important thing is to eat, full stop. Being hungry during a test will distract you and make you tired. Don't eat too soon before a test though, as some foods can make you tired. Instead, make sure you get a meal filled with lean protein before you have to take a test. Eating healthy will generally boost brain performance too, so make sure you're always eating a healthy diet to help you learn all through school. If you don't sleep, you won't be able to focus when the pressure's on! Make sure to go to bed early the night before a test, rather than staying up all night to study. Your brain won't be able to hold on to all that crammed information anyway. Go to your test with all of the calculators, pens, pencils, blank paper, and other supplies you might need. Not having these things could mean you'll have a much harder time! Getting dehydrated during a test can be distracting and reduce your ability to think clearly. Stay hydrated before your test and bring a bottle of water with you to the test as well. If you aren't used to drinking coffee, now is a bad time to start. Try not to do anything different in your basic routine the day of or the night before the test. This can really throw you off.

Article in English: . The most straightforward way to get a guy talking is to walk right up to him and introduce yourself. It doesn't matter if he's the new guy at work, the cute boy you've noticed around the school corridors, or the handsome stranger at the coffee shop - put your shoulders back, plant a smile on your face and approach him confidently. Say hi, tell him your name and ask for his - if you're lucky he'll take it from there!  Once you find out the guy's name, use it frequently in the conversation. People like to hear their own name - it makes the conversation more personal and creates a sense of intimacy between you. Say something like "Hi, I've noticed you around here and I just thought I'd come over and introduce myself. My name's Kate, what's yours?" Simple! One of the easiest ways to start a conversation is to take advantage of your surrounding circumstances to get him talking. It could be literally anything, from the weather, to the traffic, to the results of a sports game. You can either make the comment to him directly or to yourself, hoping he sees it as an opportunity and responds.  Commenting on the weather may seem like a mundane conversation starter, but it works nevertheless. Try saying something like "Beautiful day, huh? Don't you just love the sunshine?" When starting a conversation with someone you don't know, the point is to break the ice and open a line of communication first. Once you've done that you can move on to more interesting topics. If you're sitting next to a cute guy on the train or an airplane, try sighing and muttering to yourself about the delay or bumpiness of the ride. If he's interested, he'll take this as his cue to respond in sympathetic agreement. Once you have his attention, you can take it from there! Men love to help women. They're biologically wired that way. So engaging the damsel in distress routine from time to time might just help to get the conversation going. Appeal to his manly muscle and strength - it will give him a confidence boost and make him feel more...

Article in English: . The most widely-available, cheap, and easiest to use variety of paint is watercolor, which is available either in tubes or small plastic cases with multiple color palettes. Depending on the quality of the paint, watercolors can be light and pastoral, or quite vibrant and vivid. It's a beautiful and effective way to start, especially for landscapes and whimsical still-life paintings.  In it's basic state, watercolor paint is thick and heavy, and is made workable by wetting the brush and thinning out the paint with water, or by otherwise mixing the paint with water on a palette. It's a thin and light paint, easy to work with for beginners, though somewhat difficult to control. Having a good-quality paint to start with will help to avoid frustration when you get started. Sennelier paints are watercolors available in both pan and tube form, of a much higher quality than your garden-variety school-supply watercolors. Try the pan to avoid having to buy lots of paints separately, and having the convenience of all the paint in one place. Schmincke and Windsor & Newton are also quality brands that are widely available at craft stores. .

Try going en pointe for small durations of time first, and then slowly work your way up.

Article in English: . The only safe and 100% proven way to get blue eyes is to use blue colored contact lenses. Contact lenses are thin sheets of plastic you wear in your eyes, to cover up the natural iris and give the illusion of a different color. The nice thing about contact lenses is that they are cheap, and come in many different shades of blue. This makes it easy to test-drive multiple colors and types of lenses to find the right ones for you.  Keep in mind that certain contacts and certain colors may blur your vision and make it foggy. You will need to learn how to put in your contacts. Depending on whether they are hard or soft, the difficulty of putting them in varies from person to person, not to mention the type of contact. If you wear prescription glasses or contacts, you have the option of getting prescription colored contacts. . If you wear makeup, you can change the colors you wear to either bring out natural blue undertones in your iris’, or add blue to your eyes if your eyes are dark. If you have some blue undertones in your eyes, look for a copper or gold eyeshadow. The warm hues of the bronze-y shadow will bring out the blue highlights in your iris’. If you have brown eyes, try wearing a cool blue eyeshadow; you’ll add the color near your eyes, which will create an illusion of blue-ish eyes from a distance.  Apply the eyeshadow using a shadow brush over your entire eyelid, and on the outer-corner of your lower lash-line. You can use blue eyeliner for a similar effect. . If you want to test out blue eyes to see what they would look like, or you’re just interested in making your eyes more blue in your photos, you can use photoshop to alter the color. Although this doesn’t technically change the color of your eyes in real life, it does give you the opportunity to show off baby blues in photos, and try on different shades to see if you like it. You can use other photo editing programs outside of photoshop to change the color of your eyes. . When you get angry, sad, or excited, your pupils will contract, which...

Article in English: . The perfect smile doesn't need Hollywood teeth or a certain shape of lips. Smile in order to make other feel happy, open, and comfortable. People will care more about the reason behind your smile than its appearance. The advice below will help you adjust how your smile looks, but that's icing on the cake. Look in the mirror and relax your facial muscles and shoulders. If you're tense, gently rub your cheeks and forehead. Clench and relax your jaw a couple times. A genuine smile is the best smile. Think of a fun memory or recent event, your friends, or your crush. Even an embarrassing story from your childhood can make you smile. One of the key differences between a real smile and a fake one is a change in the muscles around your eyes. Any of these can work:  Try crinkling your eyes or squinting a little. This might already happen if you have a wide smile. Try widening your eyes a little, and raising your eyebrows. Even a small tilt of your head can make a smile look better. Start by practicing a formal smile, for a work or school photograph. Keep your teeth closed together. You can keep your lips closed or flash a lot of teeth, whichever you prefer. Try putting your tongue behind your upper front teeth. This makes your bottom lip look fuller and gaps in your teeth less noticeable. This is typically a feminine look but anyone can give it a try. This is a subtle, small smile you'd use at a social gathering, to catch someone's attention. Press your lips together and pull them wide. Hold the smile for just a second, long enough for the other person to notice. Here are a few variations on this:  Curve your lips by keeping the center steady as the outer corners move up. Try the curve again, but keep stretching the corners until you flash a moment of teeth. Smirk by raising one side of your mouth higher than the other and arching a brow. This can come across as saucy or sarcastic, so be cautious. Open your mouth so your teeth aren't touching, and give a giant, wide smile. Raise your eyebrows as you do this. This...

Article in English: . The process of crushing and soaking saffron releases the maximum amount of flavor from the threads, so it's strongly recommended.  Take the saffron threads you intend to use for the recipe and crush them into a powder using a mortar and pestle. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can crumble the threads in between your fingers.  Steep the crushed saffron in warm water, stock, milk, or white wine for 20 to 30 minutes. If there's any liquid in your recipe, use a small amount of the specified liquid from the instructions.  Add the saffron and soaking liquids directly to your recipe when called for. Toasting is another common way to prepare saffron, and it's especially common for traditional paella recipes.  Place a cast iron skillet on the stove over medium heat. Add the saffron threads to the hot skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for 1 or 2 minutes. They should release an even stronger aroma but should not be allowed to burn. Cool slightly and grind the toasted saffron threads using a mortar and pestle. This powder can be soaked or added directly to the recipe. While not ideal, you can crumble and add the threads of saffron directly to the dish while you cook it if the recipe calls for a large amount of liquid. Note that if you use commercially ground saffron, you'll typically add it directly to the dish instead of soaking it.

Article in English: . The rules of football are fairly simple. The only one that is difficult to grasp is the offside rule. Otherwise, the rules are very basic. Here's a quick list of them: You can't touch the ball with your hands. That's a handball.    If you commit a handball in your own penalty box, you will give away a penalty to the other team. If the handball was on purpose, you can even get sent off.  No reckless tackles. That's a foul.     If you commit a foul outside of your own penalty box, you will give away a free kick. If you commit a foul inside of your own penalty box, you will give away a penalty kick. If the foul wasn't too bad but was notable, you may receive a yellow card. Think of it as a strict warning. Two yellow cards means you get a red card. If the foul was very dangerous, you may receive a red card. Even with just one red card, you will be sent off of the pitch and not be allowed back on until the end of the game. The same rule applies if you get two yellow cards.   You must take a throw in with both feet on the ground and both hands above your head.     Click the link to learn the offside rule. If you have a channel like ESPN or Sky Sports on your television, take full advantage of it. Don't only watch your favourite team play, watch lower and higher leagues play too. This will allow you to notice what the better team did that the lower team didn't do and how it affected the game. For example, one team might have passed really well, leading to a lot of scoring opportunities, leading to a lot of goals. Try to incorporate these kind of tactics into your games. Make sure you take note of every position, but especially the one you hope to become proficient in.

Article in English: . The savior and white knight often jumps from relationship to relationship, “rescuing” the helpless or damaged. If this describes you, it may be time to take a hiatus from relationships. If you are not in a long-term or committed relationship, take some time to enjoy being single and nurturing your own needs.  Spending some time single can help you gain more awareness into your compulsive helping/rescuing tendencies. It can also give you time to explore the parts of yourself that trigger this habit. You may want to set an amount of time that you remain single to help you keep this goal. For example, you might want to give yourself six months. During this time, set goals for your self-improvement. Compulsive helpers often allow their efforts to fix others to prevent them from doing any personal development of their own. What’s more, by viewing yourself as a savior you develop unrealistic goals that eventually wear away at your self-esteem. By creating realistic goals, you can rebuild.   Select a goal for yourself that allows you to focus only on you. This might include anything from losing weight to writing a novel. Make it a  SMART goal, which is specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound. You might say, “I want to lose 15 pounds in 10 weeks.” Then, map out how you will achieve this goal: “I will eat a serving of vegetables at every meal. I will exercise 5 days per week. I will drink only water.” Run through your goals with another person. They may be able to tell if you if the goals are realistic or not. They may also be able to give you ideas to achieve your goals. Individuals with a savior complex frequently dedicate all their time and energy to others, placing them in dire need of self-care.

Article in English: . The size of your penis, whether it's flaccid or erect, depends on how much blood it contains. Using tobacco products causes the body's arteries to become narrower, which in turn reduces blood flow to the penis. If you smoke, you're inhibiting your penis from being as large as it could be. Moving your body enhances circulatory healthy, strengthening the arteries that carry blood to your penis. If you don't exercise at all, your penis may not be realizing its full potential. Aim to exercise for about an hour a day, whether you want to go for a swim, a walk, a jog or a bike ride. Any type of exercise will help increase blood flow to your penis. However, there's no way to exercise your penis itself in a way that will make it get bigger. The penis is composed of smooth muscle, which doesn't increase in mass with exercise. You may not be able to build up the penis itself through exercise, but if you strengthen your pelvic floor your body will be better able to hold blood in your penis. The pelvic floor presses on the vein that keeps blood from leaving the penis during erections. You can strengthen your pelvic floor using Kegel exercises. A trial conducted in Britain concluded that men who performed Kegel exercises experienced better sexual function than those who made other lifestyle changes but didn't perform the exercises.  Find your pelvic floor by tightening the same muscle you use to stop your urine flow. Tighten and release the muscle 8 times. Rest and do it 8 more times, and again until you've done 3 or 4 sets. Do the exercises once a day for best results. . Your penis may look smaller than it really is if it's partially obscured by skin that droops over the top.

Article in English: . The worst way to grow a beard is to just stop shaving, or to never start. This results in patchy, uneven, and thin beards that just flat-out won't look good on your face. If your facial hair isn't growing in evenly all around your face, keep shaving regularly, and be patient until it does.  If you're not sure how evenly your facial hair is growing in, shave your entire face and look for stubble. Does it grow on the tip of your chin as quickly as over your lip? Does it grow under your neck at the same rate as it does on your sideburns? If so, you're ready for growing a beard.  If your beard doesn't grow evenly, there's a bit you can do to speed up the process and ensure that your hair will eventually grow in as thickly as possible. Genetics has a lot to do with your ability to grow facial hair. Some people simply won't be able to grow full beards. If you're currently going through puberty, or have gone through puberty but haven't started growing your facial hair yet, there are some simple things you can do to stimulate testosterone levels and encourage hair growth. The effect won't necessarily be fast, but you'll get hair growing if you do some combination of the following:  Exercise. Doing intensity training, cardio, and some strength training a few times a week encourages testosterone growth in males, helping to get facial hair growing. Warm up for three minutes, then do on/off sets, with 30 seconds of all-out exercise, then 90 seconds of moderate exercise. Do sets of seven of these circuits. Get your Vitamin D levels up, either by taking a supplement, or by spending some more time outdoors in the sun, absorbing Vitamin D naturally. According to some recently published research, ashwagandha is an herb that stimulates testosterone in men. It's also known as adaptogen, and is commonly sold as a supplement. As you're trying to stimulate facial hair growth, it's also important to take care of your skin and address issues that can keep hair from growing evenly and looking good. Talk to your doctor about...

Article in English: . There are a variety of factors that will determine which router is best for you. These include distance, interference, transfer speed, and security.  One of the most important factors to consider when purchasing a router is the distance between the router and the devices that you are wirelessly connecting. More expensive routers generally have more antennae, which can lead to a more stable connection at further distances. Another factor to consider is the amount of signal interference. If you have multiple devices that operate on the 2.4 GHz band, such as microwaves and cordless phones, these can interfere with the Wi-Fi signal. Newer routers can operate on the 5 GHz band, which is much less crowded and thus less prone to interference. The drawback is that 5 GHz signals do not travel as far as 2.4 GHz signals. Transfer speed is a feature to consider. Newer routers claim to be able to transfer data up to 450 Mbps. While this may be helpful when moving data between two computers over a network, it will not increase your general Internet speed, as this is set by your ISP. There are three main router speeds available: 802.11g (54 Mbps) 802.11n (300 Mbps), and 802.11ac (450 Mbps). It is important to note that these speeds are virtually impossible to attain in any environment other than a clean room free of signal interference. Finally, make sure that the router you are purchasing has the latest form of wireless encryption, WPA2. This is pretty much standard in all new routers, but is something to consider if purchasing an older, second-hand router. Older encryption algorithms are much less secure; a WEP key can be cracked in just a few minutes. Once you've purchased your router, you will need to connect it to your modem. The router will have a port in the back labeled WAN/WLAN/Internet. Connect this port to the modem using a standard Ethernet cable. Make sure that the router is properly powered and turned on. This step is not always necessary, but can be very useful if you want to set up the wireless router...

Article in English: . There are a variety of positions from which it is possible to make an accurate shot, and a good hunter needs to be comfortable in all of them. Practice getting into position in a safe place with an unloaded gun, well before you go out hunting.  Prone position is the most stable, but it is the most difficult and impractical position to get into in the field, while standing is the simplest, fastest, and unfortunately most unstable. Crouching or sitting positions are the most comfortable and stable positions for shooting deer accurately, if done properly. You can crouch quickly, supporting your elbow with your knee or thigh, making your aim more true and stable. In the sitting position, you'll sit cross-legged, perpendicular to your target, with the knee of your non-shooting hand pointing toward the target. Hunting deer is usually an all-day activity, not something to do when you're rushed or impatient. Find a good spot to sit in wait when you go out hunting, and give it some time. Deer are more likely to come around an area that's been silent and still for quite a while, so be extremely quiet as you do so.  Some hunters like to give a spot a couple hours then move around some, while others like to roam more or less constantly. It's your choice how you want to hunt, but most successful hunters do some combination of setting up to wait and trying out different areas. The waiting is part of the thrill and the drama of the hunt. If it wasn't challenging, nobody would bother. If you've spotted a deer, don't start pulling the trigger just yet. Use binoculars to look for signs of deer coming into the area and wait until one orients itself to your position in a way that offers you a clean shot. This is the most critical moment of the hunt, and the last thing you want to rush.  Depending on the laws in your area and the type of permit you've acquired, take a minute to verify that the deer you're seeing is legal. Often, only bucks displaying a certain amount of antler growth (usually six points) are legal to harvest,...

Article in English: . There are many different brands of home pregnancy tests on the market, but it doesn't really matter which you choose. All home pregnancy tests work the same way - by detecting levels of the hormone hCG in your urine. When purchasing a pregnancy test, check the expiration date on the box and ensure the box is fully intact, with no wear and tear, as this could affect your result. Think about getting a brand that provides two test sticks in the box, especially if you're planning on testing early. This way you can wait a week before trying again, if you get a negative result first time around.  Some experts advocate buying a pregnancy test from a large store that has a high turnover so that you are more likely to get a newer pregnancy test, rather than one that has been sitting on a shelf for months. Similarly, if you've had a pregnancy test lying around at home for several months, consider throwing it out and getting a new one, especially if you've been storing it somewhere warm or prone to dampness, as this can affect the results of the test.  Some brands claim that they can accurately detect pregnancy on the day of your missed period or even earlier. While it's true that the tests may be sensitive enough to pick up on higher hCG levels in your urine, it may be too early in your pregnancy for your body to actually produce higher levels of hCG. In this case, you run the risk of getting a negative result, even though you might indeed be pregnant.  Many of the generic brand drugstore pregnancy tests are actually produced in the same factories as the big name brands and use the same technology. So don't worry about the quality of the generic brands if you're trying to save some dollars. Most experts advise that you should wait at least one day after your missed period before taking a home pregnancy test, though waiting a week is considered best. This can be tough when you are anxious to find out if you're pregnant, but waiting allows for a higher degree of accuracy when taking the test, as hCG levels rise rapidly...

Article in English: . There are many small steps to this one action.

Article in English: . There are plenty of safe, easy ways to decorate eggs. Hard boil the eggs in advance, then have the children use crayons, food coloring and sponges, or paint to decorate the eggs. Children might want to keep their eggs once they've decorated them, so you might want to hide a separate group of decorated eggs for the egg hunt. Instead of letting the kids loose to find all the eggs at once, give them clues to each egg in turn. For a real "treasure hunt" feel, write the next clue inside each egg, and have the last egg hold gold chocolate coins as "pirate treasure." The clue could be a riddle, a hidden reference to an object in another room, or a reference to something the kids did once. For instance, an egg hidden in "the jungle" could be in the center of some houseplants, while an egg hidden "in the land of birthday cakes" could be on a cake stand in the fridge. Make a ramp out of a wooden plank leaning on a stack of books. Cover the ramp and floor with a blanket in case of broken eggs, then have each person release their egg from the top of the ramp. The person whose egg makes it farthest wins a prize. Have the kids line up in two or more rows. Each of them holds a spoon. Place an egg in the spoon of each kid first in line. When you say "Go!" each line has to move its egg to the end of the line without the egg touching anything but the spoons.  If an egg falls, you can either put it back on the first spoon or let the kids try to pick it up with only the spoons. While the kids can literally race their Easter eggs by pushing them with their noses, hopping while holding them, or another method, this race is more suited to an indoor location.

Article in English: . There are probably tons of potential friends around you, but you may not know how to approach these people and get connected. After all, striking up a conversation can be pretty scary sometimes. However, don’t doubt yourself--you can do it! Take a deep breath, and ask a stranger a question about themselves or comment on your surroundings. A great rule-of-thumb is that people enjoy talking about themselves and their interests, so look for cues that can help you get them talking.  For example, you’re in line at the grocery store and you see a teen in front of you who is playing on their smartphone. You might say, “You seem to be really good at that. What’s the goal of the game?” Try to ask an open-ended question that requires the person to give a detailed answer rather than just replaying “yes” or “no.” A great open-ended question is something like, “You said skiing is your favorite sport--what is it about skiing that you love?” If you’re feeling lonely or insecure about your friend-making skills, you may be tempted to turn down invitations to parties or other activities. However, these events can be super valuable friend-making opportunities. Although you might be nervous, give yourself a pep talk and head to the office party or your cousin’s baby shower. It’s a risk that could be rewarded with new friends! Just seeing people around can help you like them more--this is called the mere exposure effect. Pick a social setting, like a coffee shop or a smoothie cafe, and hang out there. Who knows? You may become friends with the workers or the other regulars. People gravitate towards others who give off positive energy. Make sure you always speak kindly about other people. Nasty gossip, although sometimes entertaining, is not the way to make good friends. Also, don’t forget to smile! You’ll automatically appear friendlier and more likeable.  People like other people who make them feel good, so be encouraging and give genuine compliments. You might say something like, “Wow, it’s amazing that you volunteer at the...

Article in English: . There are various ways to show your affection; some are more obvious than others and the way you approach this will depend on how openly affectionate you like to be personally. Affection is close to but not the same as intimacy––affection is about openly displaying that you care about this person and can be shown any time of day or night, publicly or privately. Think about how you like to show affection to people you care about, such as holding hands, touching an arm, quick kisses on the cheek, a hug, stroking hair, supportive words, mentioning how great someone is in front of other people, etc.  Pet names like "Baby" or "Sweetheart" are a cute way to show your affection for your partner. Try not to overdo this, however. It can be a major turn-off if you call them "Mr. Cuddle-Bear", especially in public. Of all things, good communication is the vital part of any relationship, so make sure that they know how much you like them. Regular lovey-dovey texts and emails can be a plus, but too many will become overwhelming and you may seem clingy. These types of things do show you're into them, and you want it to last forever, but don't come on so much that you scare them! Don't be afraid to be seductive. Most people find it irresistible when a girl is sexy, classy and confident. Confidence means being happy within your own skin; you will exude this without trying if you are accepting of yourself and feel secure about your own worth. You don't have to force yourself to be the most popular, bubbly personality if that isn't your style; rather, be the best you on show by taking good care of yourself and trusting that you're worth their attention. When you're in a relationship, it's fun to give each other small gifts. Everyone loves to get presents and giving them one shows that they mean a lot to you. Don't overdo it -- just give them a gift when you're feeling loving and want to let them know how much they mean to you. You don't want them to think you're trying to buy their affection. Make them something by hand. A...

Article in English: . There is no way around it: having a sedentary lifestyle is just about the best way to drive your body into the ground. You have to stay active in order to stay healthy. If you don't use your brain, you lose it -- and same goes with your muscles! So whether you want to run 5ks for breakfast or you just walk the dog every night, do something. Your body craves it.  The CDC recommends 150 minutes a week of moderate physical activity, including some cardio and some strength-building activities. That's 2 and a half hours, by the way. 2.5 hours out of 168. That's reasonable, right? And the more vigorous your exercise, the less you need. If you're overweight or obese, the only way you don't know that losing weight is in your best interest is if you've been living under a rock that doesn't get wifi. Even losing 10 pounds can make significant improvements to your health. And by that, we mean 1 drink a day for women and 2 for men. And no, that doesn't mean 7 in one day of the week; you can't bank 'em, saving them for later. 1 or 2 drinks a day keeps you healthy and, you know, not making stupid decisions. Be winning! And by "drink" we mean 1 12-ounce can of beer or 4 ounces of wine or one ounce of hard liquor. And if the drink isn't super sugary, even better. . You also probably know that smoking won't do your health any favors either. And it takes a chunk out of your budget, too. And it can harm those around you -- is that enough reasons for you? If health is even of the least bit concern to you, quitting will be on your immediate agenda. And you don't have to wait decades for quitting to leave its mark, either. 20 minutes after you quit, your heart rate will drop. Minutes! A year after quitting your risk of heart disease drops to half of what it was. Why wait a second longer? Your body, your loved ones, and your wallet will thank you in no time. As we age, it becomes increasingly more important that we are aware of our health, even if we aren't experiencing symptoms of anything. It's in your best interest to...
