Article in English: While ultrasonic sound systems are available for purchase, their efficacy has been debated. Instead, old fashioned (preferably outdoor/waterproof) speakers seem to work best.  A variety of sudden sounds such as alarms, distressed bird recordings, and explosions are most effective.  Play the sounds erratically, not in a predictable pattern. Move the speakers’ direction, or adjust the fading and panning from the receiver system, to vary the directionality of the sound. The sound of a gunshot may also frighten the starlings away. Using a variety of visual scare tactics is most effective.  Some things to try are balloons, balloons with predator eyes painted on them, flashing lights, shiny/reflective items that move, and models of predators such as owls, hawks, and foxes. Be sure to move the visual scare devices frequently so that the birds do not become acclimated to them. Sporadically spraying the birds with water is a humane way to frighten the birds away. Like the audio and visual attacks, water sprays should be sudden and not patterned so that the birds do not adapt to the timing of the water. The best scare attack is one that combines multiple methods of making the birds’ roosting habitat undesirable.  The more undesirable or inconvenient a habitat is, the more likely the starlings are to move on to a safer place. The bulk of your scare tactics should be applied when the birds are preparing to roost in the evenings.  You can also launch a “reminder” attack in the morning as they are leaving their roosting areas.

Article in English: While valerian root is a fairly safe herbal supplement, there are some side effects that you may experience while taking it. These include dizziness, headaches, and stomach problems. In addition, you may feel very drowsy, even after a full night’s sleep, so it is important to use extreme caution when driving or operating machinery. Valerian root is not right for everyone. Before you take it, talk to your doctor to ensure that it is safe for you.  Women who are pregnant or nursing should not take valerian root. Children under 3 years old should not take valerian root. People with liver disease should not take valerian root. Valerian root may interact with prescription medications and other herbal supplements you are taking. Always talk to your doctor about all of the medications and supplements you take.  Valerian root is known to interact with alcohol and sedatives. Valerian root may also affect your liver function, so be cautious if you are taking medications that are broken down by the liver. If you suffer from insomnia, taking valerian root may not be the best remedy for your condition. Seeing a doctor for a diagnosis can help you discover and treat the root cause of your insomnia. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a very effective treatment for insomnia that is not caused by an underlying medical condition.

Article in English: While watery eyes are sometimes a symptom of allergies, cat allergies often show up on the skin. Therefore, you may notice crusty skin, lesions, or hair loss. Your cat may also scratch excessively. Cat allergies are treated much like human allergies. That is, most of the time, your cat will be prescribed an antihistamine to help deal with the body's reaction to an allergen. The main antihistamines used for cats are Chlor-Trimeton, Benadryl, Atarax, and Tavist. Steroids may also be helpful when your cat has a particularly bad allergy attack, but they should only be used for a short period. Ask your vet if it's a good option for your cat. If you have a board certified veterinary dermatologist do an allergy test, they will be able to tell you what things your cat is allergic to so that you can limit exposure. For instance, if your cat is allergic to pollen, grass, trees, or some bugs, you can keep the cat inside and keep the windows closed as much as possible. You can make sure dust is minimized around the house and switch foods to find one your cat isn't allergic to. Some cat owners have had good luck with omega-3 fatty acids improving their cat's allergies. When looking for a supplement, make sure it's derived from fish oil. Also, ask your veterinarian about an appropriate dose for your cat. . This recommendation may sound like one you want to avoid. However, most of the time, cats aren't as resistant to bathing as you might think. Use a feline shampoo that’s recommended by a veterinary physician, and use it as frequently as they recommend to use it. You can also give your cat a bath using a colloidal oatmeal, hypoallergenic, or hydrocortisone shampoo (made for cats) to help alleviate some of the itchiness your cat is experiencing. Try bathing your cat when you notice they are itching more or they have a flare up.

Article in English: While we all hope that we’re prepared for any emergency, sometimes we forget that even the best menstrual products can leak and get blood on our underwear and clothing. During your heaviest days, it might be a good idea to bring an extra pair of underwear and pants. Wearing cotton underwear allows for more air to reach your vagina. This helps it stay dryer during your period. Synthetic materials, on the other hand, trap moisture leading to bacterial growth. Doing so allows your vagina to breathe. This also helps keep the amount of sweat low. Wearing loose clothing has the added benefit of being more comfortable if you experience menstrual cramps. For instance wearing gauchos, skirts, or loose shorts or pants, instead of tight-fitting jeans or pants, can make your genital area more airy. Certain foods such as garlic, broccoli, or blue cheese, can increase vaginal odor. While it may not directly increase menstruation-related odor, it certainly won’t help if food is increasing your vaginal odor. Try cutting out offending foods all at once and adding them back slowly, to see what might be the culprit.

Article in English: While we're not able to do much with our own ears, a dog's ears can be incredibly expressive.  Be aware that dogs whose ears were clipped as a puppy may not have the full range of motion to express themselves through their ears.  A dog whose ears are pricked forward or straight up is fully engaged in play, hunting, or concentration. This ear position can also indicate curiosity and can express the intent to do something, as the dog is turning to catch sounds. It is an obvious ear position in the early stage of a chase.  A dog’s ears being flattened, sitting against the dog's head, indicates that the dog feels afraid or threatened. Ears that are forward but close to the head can also indicate aggression.  A dog’s ears part way back but not flattened may be feeling unhappiness, anxiety, or uncertainty. A dog's eyes express as much as human eyes do, and just as you learn to interpret people's eye signals, you can also learn to interpret your dog's. Here are some of the more common eye signals:  Eyes wide open: this means that your dog is feeling alert, playful, and ready.  Staring: staring indicates dominant, challenging behavior. Avoiding eye contact: a dog trying to look away from your face can be showing politeness, deference, or submission. Blinking or winking: these indicate that your dog is being playful. Narrowed eyes: this can indicate that your dog is feeling aggressive and is preparing to attack. This gesture may be accompanied by staring. Dogs often show how they are feeling with facial expressions.  Understanding facial expressions can help you interpret your dog’s feelings and communicate with your canine companion.  Smiling: believe it or not, dogs can smile.  While it can be difficult to differentiate a smile from a snarl, checking other body language for signs of play or aggression can help you determine whether your dog is happy or feeling aggressive. If everything else adds up to a happy dog, then your dog is smiling, and this means it's happy and relaxed. Yawning: the meaning of a dog’s...

Article in English: While wealth is a relative concept, many associate it with being a “millionaire.” Knowing the precise number of single millionaire men in the U.S., or the world for that matter, isn’t a figure easily determined. What is clear, however, is that the overall number of millionaires is rising. In fact, 1 out of every 13 households (all kinds) in the U.S. has at least $1 million in assets. One out of every 100 has at least $25 million in assets.  How are they making their money? In a variety of ways. Extremely wealthy men are often in business, working at hedge funds and in other areas of finance and investing. A growing number of men are making extreme amounts of money as tech and web entrepreneurs. And real estate; media, sports and entertainment; oil and gas; and other business ventures continue to be lucrative and popular areas. There are also a large number of men making very good money in medicine, dentistry, the law, engineering, and, one mustn’t forget, in corner offices serving as CEOs. In general, they work close to 60- to 80-hour weeks and are often self-made, wealthy men. They did well in school, took calculated risks, and have a long-term plan. They’re also high energy, visionary and extremely confident. Many live surprisingly modestly, are generally upbeat and recognize they’re not the smartest person in the room, at least not on every issue, so they surround themselves with people who can help them fill in the gaps, and to fulfill their vision. Yet their confidence frequently bleeds into narcissistic behavior, and they often lack empathy for others. Feeling a sense of entitlement isn’t foreign to them either. Not all men are the same, obviously, but there are some generalities. They gravitate toward fit, attractive women who are well dressed. They have a tendency to feel entitled (there’s that word again) to “arm candy” or a woman who can plan social schedules, play hostess and the like. Yet when surveyed, roughly 90% of men who are high-achieving and considered either successful or highly successful...

Article in English: While we’d all like to believe there is a “superfood” or two out there that can cure a cold, the legitimate medical evidence to back up such claims is slim at best.  Eating a balanced, healthy diet can only improve your odds of having a strong immune system, which gives you the best chance of fending off a cold before it strikes.  Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Try onions, blueberries, bell peppers, carrots, garlic, citrus fruits, mushrooms, fennel, leafy greens, and sweet potatoes, among others. They contain high levels of Vitamin C, Vitamin A, antioxidants, beta-carotene and B vitamins, which may improve how your immune system functions. Eat lean proteins, such as fish, poultry, pork and eggs. Vitamin E, zinc, selenium and iron are found in these foods. They may help boost immune system response.   This list of so-called cold-fighting superfoods may or may not help you curtail a cold, but it does offer a group of many healthy food options that can only benefit your immune system when eaten in proper amounts. Like a proper diet, regular exercise promotes a healthy body, which is more likely to have a strong immune system that can better combat the cold virus, perhaps even stopping it before it starts.  If you already have a cold, one or two 30-minute walks per day may be of benefit by improving circulation and lowering stress.  While the relationship is unclear, low to moderate exercise may also play an important role in the immune system response.  Low to moderate exercise is recommended when you have a cold, because over-exertion can take energy away from your body while it is trying to fight off the virus. Too much stress and too little sleep are bad for your body whether you are fighting a cold or are otherwise feeling great.  A rested and refreshed body is more likely to fight off a cold before it starts or possibly limit the amount of time you have to suffer having one.  Get eight or more hours of sleep. Your body recharges during periods of uninterrupted sleep, allowing your immune system...

Article in English: While whispering might seem like a method of preserving one's voice, it actually puts much more strain on your vocal chords than speaking normally does. Whispering also has a drying effect that can cause voice loss. Take every opportunity to whisper instead of talking at a regular volume by pretending that you need to be discreet during conversations, or by starting discussions in quiet places (e.g. a library). This will make your throat sore and your voice raspy. While professional singers generally warm up their voices before performing, amateur singers have a tendency to wear out their voices by singing too loudly and out of pitch. Spend an evening doing karaoke with friends to enjoy yourself while trying to lose your voice. The act of projecting your voice to fill a room or hall is very likely to cause bruising or swelling of your vocal cords, resulting in temporary laryngitis. Coughing or clearing your throat can put a strain on your larynx, diminishing your voice. Excessive coughing commonly causes laryngitis, either in the short term or long-term. To lose your voice fast, prompt yourself to cough, or clear your voice repetitively until it becomes hoarse and raspy. Lose your voice in a fun way by attending a loud concert or sporting event. Get into the action and cheer, sing along, or scream as much as possible. While losing one's voice is often considered a downside of these fun experiences, it can be seen as a success when that is your ultimate goal. Visiting a dance club, attending a demonstration, or going go karting are also options for loud activities that encourage voice exertion.

Article in English: While you and your baby will learn a lot about breastfeeding together, it's helpful to learn as much as you can in advance. Talk to women in your family and community to get support. If you don't know many other women who have breastfed, don't let that stop you. There are many resources-both online and locally-that can help you.  Groups such as the La Leche League offer in-person meetings across the globe as well as social media groups to connect new and expectant mothers: https://www.llli.org  Seek out a breastfeeding class either before or after your baby is born. You can find classes online or ask your medical provider or hospital for more information. Talk to the men in your life about breastfeeding, so they understand the health benefits, know what to expect, and can learn how to support you. Create a space in your home where you can quietly and comfortably breastfeed your baby. Consider whether you'd prefer to nurse in a large chair, recliner, or sofa. If you can, set up the breastfeeding space near your baby's crib or bassinet, so you can feed and return the baby to the crib or bassinet, especially in the middle of the night. Stock your breastfeeding station with:   Breast pads and lanolin-based nipple cream Changes of clothes for the baby and a clean shirt for you Blankets and pillows Burp cloths Unscented baby wipes Healthy drinks such as water and unsweetened fruit juice. Nutritious snacks that can be held with one hand like a protein bar or fruit. If you work away from your home and choose to pump breast milk, you will want to make arrangements to pump milk while at work. US Federal Law mandates that all employers provide both a time and space for breastfeeding mothers to pump milk while at work.   Many other countries have similar laws.

Article in English: While you and your partner are trying to work things out at home, you can also work things out in a safe environment where couples can speak freely about their relationship.  The therapist can encourage both parties to evaluate strengths and weaknesses of the relationship. If patterns emerge, such as patterns of infidelity or emotional abuse, the therapist can address them. If you feel you’re to blame for the affair, the therapist can help you to work through those problems. You may have feelings of inadequacy, or betrayal or anger and the therapist can help you  to deal with them.

Article in English: While you are experimenting with which pose, angle, and facial expression to use in your photo, practice in a clean mirror. Make sure your mirror is not distorted, marked up or blurry. This will ensure the most accurate results in your findings. To thin yourself out, angle your body about 45 degrees away from the camera, but keep your head looking at the camera. Position your body with one foot slightly forward, or shoulder if you are sitting. Our bodies and faces are generally not mirrored images. Find which side of your face and body you prefer and make that side more visible in the photo. Look through photos you have posed in and you may find you have a tendency to turn your face to the right or left. This is probably the side you prefer, and feel most comfortable posing with. This simulates height and poise. It may feel unnatural, but when roll your shoulders back and look in the mirror, you’ll find it is instantly slimming. Place a hand on your hip and make sure there is a small separation between your limbs and body. This way your arms will not squish against your body.  Play with what you are wearing. Toss your dress around or thumb your suspenders or belt. Find someone in similar age, height and body shape and look at photos they have modeled in. Try out their poses and see if their stances suit you. Most of the time people use clichéd poses because they are uncomfortable.  These are poses like the “duck face”, “tongue-in-cheek”, or flashing a gang sign. If you are nervous step away for a minute and when you come back into frame take the photo immediately. You will have less time to be self-conscious.

Article in English: While you are in class, you will need to be diligent about taking notes on important topics. Anything that the teacher writes on the board should be in your notes. Also, if you are told to write something down, do it. Never assume that you will remember important topics. Also take careful notes about assignments and tests, this will help you understand what the instructor is looking for. Biology is a complex subject, and the lectures can get very involved. Avoid the urge to use your phone or chat with classmates beside you. Focus only on what the instructor is discussing. It is a good idea to record the lectures, but you must have your instructor's permission ahead of time. Your instructor's job is to help you learn. When you are struggling to understand something that they are teaching, speak up and ask them. You can even wait until office hours or after class if you are uncomfortable speaking in front of the class. For example, you might ask “Professor, how does a cell replicate?” Homework is given for two reasons. Either your instructor wants to grade it, or they want you to learn the material so they can grade you on similar concepts later. Both are important to your success in the class. Dedicate time every day after class to do your biology homework.

Article in English: While you are just trying to show your ex that you still care about him, there is a chance that he might interpret your friendliness as a sign that you want to get back together. You should be wary of this, treat the situation with tact, but be clear about where you draw the line. If he asks you to help him with something, or to do something together, don't feel obliged to say yes if you are uncomfortable.  Be clear in your response, but show that you understand his feelings. You could say something like "I still care about you, but we're not together any more and I can't do that for you". Explain yourself by saying things like, "I know this is difficult", "I know this is an awkward situation". Talking like this while affirming your position will show that you are acknowledging and validating his feelings. You may still miss each other. It's natural to feel this way, but don't let your emotions take over. When you let your emotions take over, you may find yourself saying or doing things that you will regret and will only make things harder in the long-run.

Article in English: While you are making the best of the time you have left with your dying cat, you will also need to prepare for the realities of her eventual death. By no means is this easy, but it is something you must do. Talking with your veterinarian will help you handle and organize this difficult preparation.  Euthanasia is a painless and humane way of ending your cat’s life. To perform euthanasia, your veterinarian would administer an overdose of an anesthetic drug. After a few seconds, your cat would slip peacefully into unconsciousness and eventually stop breathing.  Do not feel ashamed or guilty about thinking or talking about euthanasia. Many pet owners struggle with the idea of putting their pets to sleep. Your veterinarian can help you sort out your emotions and questions regarding euthanasia. After talking with your veterinarian, it is up to you to decide when the time has come to have your cat euthanized. It may be helpful to look for clinical signs that your cat is clearly suffering: hiding, sleeping more, wasting away, and either withdrawing from human contact or being overly clingy.  Ask yourself this question: ‘Am I keeping my cat alive for myself or for my cat?’ How you answer that question will help you decide when the time is right to euthanize her. If your cat is truly suffering, despite your best efforts to make her comfortable, then it may be time to have her euthanized. Come up with a plan for when it is "the right time".  Your veterinarian can help you to come up with a written plan to help you know when the time for euthanasia is. This can be very helpful:  It uses your vet's knowledge on the progression of your animal's disease (if any) that will alert you to symptoms that indicate pain or suffering, or not. It helps eliminates arguments among families, roommates, or other multiple owners. Making big decisions with big emotions is hard, and having a plan done at a more neutral time can help take the emotions out of the equation.

Article in English: While you can certainly raise a baby squirrel, no one can raise it better than its mother. When you find a baby squirrel, it's important to always try to reunite baby and mother before doing anything else. A squirrel mama will look for her babies and reclaim them if they are warm.  Squirrel moms will not take back a cold baby because they will think it is either sick or dying. It's up to you to monitor the situation. If the baby is hurt, cold, or it's nighttime and mom does not come to get the baby within one to two hours, the baby is probably an orphan and needs your help. Human scent on a squirrel baby will not deter the mother from taking them back so touching them is not a worry at any point. If there is more than one baby and one is already dead, the mom will not take the live one(s) back. Therefore it will be up to you to rehab them and see if mom will reclaim them after some time has passed and the scent of her deceased baby subsides. Wearing thick leather gloves (just to be safe), take this chance to observe the baby and check for injuries, bugs, bleeding, bumps or wounds. If they are bleeding or you see broken bones or serious injury, you need to find a vet who will see a squirrel as soon as possible. Most vets will not see the squirrel unless you are licensed.  If this is the case, call any and all rehabbers in your area immediately. Baby squirrels don't generate their own heat so you must do that for them. Find or borrow a heating pad, electric blanket, a hot water bottle, or even a hand warmer. A liquid heating pad that recirculates water is the best for heat control. Make sure the heating apparatus of choice's temperature is a low-to-medium temperature.      Baby squirrels should be incubated at about 99 °F (37 °C). If you have a thermometer handy or can borrow one it will help you create the right environment for your baby squirrel's good health. Some heating pads shut off after a few hours, so check it often to be sure it is still on. If you have no option, but to raise the baby yourself,...

Article in English: While you can eyeball how much of the laces you want to cut off, it’s usually best to try on your shoes to see how much excess lace there is on each side. Tie your shoes as you normally would for the most comfortable fit, and take note of how long the laces are so you can decide how much you want to remove. When you’re trying to decide how much of the laces that you want to cut, think about how you prefer to tie your shoes. If you don’t want to double knot the laces, tie them normally and see how much of the length you’ll need to take off on each side. You’ll need to know exactly where to cut the laces, so it helps to mark them at the right spot. Use a felt tip pen to draw lines on each end of the laces to indicate the excess that you want to remove.  You can leave your shoes on when you mark the laces, but it’s often easier to use a ruler to determine how many inches you want to remove from each end with the shoes on and then remove the laces to mark them. Shoelaces come in standard sizes, such as 30-, 40-, or 54-inches, so once you figure out how much excess there usually is on your shoes, you’ll know where to mark laces of the same length in the future. They’re usually fairly easy to cut, so any household scissors should do the trick. However, you’ll want to make sure that it’s a sharp pair to minimize fraying when you cut the laces. Follow the marks that you made to ensure that you cut at the right spot. Don’t cut all of the excess off one end of the lace. You’ll wind up with one finished end and one unfinished end, so they won’t match when you relace your shoes. Instead of trimming the excess from each end of the lace and having to finish the ends, you can opt to take out the extra length from the center. You'll wind up with two pieces that each have an aglet at one end, so you only have to tie them together to create a single lace.  Try on the shoes, use a ruler to see how much extra there is on each side, add the numbers together, and cut that amount for the middle of the lace. Tie the pieces of the...

Article in English: While you can iron on nearly any flat surface, an ironing board makes it easy to smooth away any wrinkles. Adjust the ironing board to a comfortable height, and make sure the legs are locked before you start ironing.  For instance, you can place your pant leg around the narrow end to iron to remove stubborn wrinkles. Alternatively, use a table with a fire-resistant tablecloth if you don’t have an ironing board handy. Most irons have a small water fill-up tank located on the backside of the iron. Look for the plastic compartment towards the top of the iron. Then, use water from your faucet to fill up the vessel to the designated fill line. The water creates steam as you iron, helpful when eliminating folds or wrinkles.

Article in English: While you can make an educational video by yourself, it can help to have someone working the camera so you can focus on the content that you want to convey. In addition, your cameraman can give you instantaneous feedback and can pay attention to things such as lighting and sound. As you are making an educational video, you will want your audience to feel like you are an expert on the subject, even if you aren’t!  Dress appropriately for your video topic. If you are talking about preparing for an interview, you may want to dress like you would for an interview; however, if you are explaining how to fix an oil leak on a car, you will likely want to be in different clothing. Research has shown that the average attention span lasts anywhere from 7 – 15 minutes. Remember this when making your video, and try to make your video as concise as possible while still getting your message across. After you’ve shot the necessary footage, you should upload the video on your computer for editing.  Make sure you save your raw footage as a separate document so that you can edit it and make changes in the future. Publish your video to a site like YouTube where it will reach a broad audience. It may even go viral!   Check out wikiHow’s page on editing videos for YouTube as a great starting point. Consider using the “YouTube for Creators” page on the YouTube site. This site will help you build your video production skills, understand your audience, and improve your YouTube channel. Your audience will be a great source of feedback for your video. Pay attention to how many “likes” and “dislikes” your video receives, and look for any constructive comments that may be posted.  Ignore negative or rude commentary. Don’t pay attention to any personal attacks or criticism that isn’t constructive! YouTube, for example, allows you to see who is watching your video, for how long they are watching your video, the ages and locations of people who are watching your video, and other helpful statistics. This can help you understand the...

Article in English: While you can occasionally reduce a blemish in quick time, one thing you cannot do is heal a wound on your face overnight. Popping or squeezing a pimple not only spreads around the bacteria inside, but it also creates an abrasion on your face, which takes much more time to heal than simply allowing the blemish to go away on its own. If you know today that you would really like to have clearer skin tomorrow, then avoid the cosmetics. You may feel naked by avoiding the concealer you typically put on a blemish, but keeping the skin both clean and clear as far in advance as possible gives the area more chance to heal and clear.  A general guideline to follow with regard to cosmetics is that creamy foundations and blushes usually clog pores whereas light and powdery mineral-based or water based products are less likely to do so. As with cleanser, you can look for cosmetics labeled “oil free,” “nonacnegenic,” or “noncomedogenic.” However, leaving out the cosmetics altogether is still the best option when looking for immediate results. If you absolutely cannot avoid using cosmetics the day before, thoroughly clean the skin to remove every trace as early into the evening as possible. No matter how tired you are, make sure you clean your face before sleeping because wearing makeup overnight is a good way to ensure you'll wake up with more blemishes instead of fewer.  As with facial scrubbing pads, makeup applicators are usually very germy. Ditch the applicator and use cotton balls or swabs to apply makeup whenever possible. If you do need to use an applicator, keep it washed regularly and replace it often. It’s always tempting to poke at blemishes throughout the day, but oily, dirty fingers are the last thing that will clear a blemish in quick time, so do your best to keep your hands away from your face. This tip applies to your phone as well. Many people don’t consider it, but we touch our phones with dirty fingers all day and store them in dirty pockets and purses that are also breeding grounds for germs. By holding...

Article in English: While you can play an electronic musical instrument or compose music on computer without being able to read music, some knowledge of musical structure will help you understand how to make better arrangements and spot mistakes in the composition you’re working on. Some of the music theory that can help you is covered in the wikiHow article “How to Make Music.” Even if you’ve tried it before you bought it, spend some time experimenting with your equipment before you take on a serious project. You’ll have a better idea of what it can do and perhaps come up with a few ideas for projects to do with it. Each musical genre has certain elements it is associated with. The easiest way to learn those elements is to listen to a number of songs in each genre you’re interested in to see how they make use of these elements:  Beats and rhythms. Rap and hip-hop are noted for heavy, driving beats and rhythms, while big band jazz is noted for bouncy, syncopated rhythms and country music often features a shuffle beat. Instrumentation. Jazz is noted for its use of brass (trumpet, trombone) and woodwind instruments (clarinet, saxophone), while heavy metal is noted for loud electric guitars, Hawaiian music for steel guitars, folk music for acoustic guitars, mariachi for trumpets and guitars, and polka for tuba and accordion. However, many songs and artists in one genre have successfully incorporated  instrument sounds from another genre, such as Bob Dylan’s adopting the electric guitar for folk music at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, the use of mariachi trumpets to open Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire,” or Ian Anderson’s flute-playing as lead musician for the rock group Jethro Tull.  Song structure: Many songs with vocals played on the radio begin with an introduction, followed by a verse, then a chorus, another verse, repeat the chorus, a bridge (often an abbreviated verse), the chorus, and a closing (called an “outro”). In contrast, most of the instrumental “trance” music played in dance clubs begins with an introduction, followed...

Article in English: While you can poach any kind of fish, you should choose a fish that benefits from the flavor of being poached in milk. Delicate white fish works well and so do fillets of:  Bass Cod Haddock Halibut Salmon Sole, Tilapia Select a wide-bottomed saucepan and set it on the stove. Pour in 2 cups (500 ml) of whole milk and add a pinch of salt. Turn the heat on to low and bring the milk to a light simmer.  The milk should just bubble a little when it reaches a light simmer. You can also replace the milk with coconut milk, fish stock, or broth. Place two fillets of skinless fish in the pan with simmering milk. Each piece should be about 1/3 of a pound (150g). The milk should come about halfway up the sides of the fish. Continue to simmer the milk after you've added the fish and let it cook for 5 to 8 minutes.  Try to select fillets of fish that are similar in size. This will ensure that they cook evenly. You don't need to turn or flip the fish as it poaches. This could cause it to fall apart or overcook. Take a bamboo or metal skewer and insert it into the thickest part of the poached fish. The skewer should slide right in and be easy to remove. If it's hard to poke the skewer into the fish, it needs to poach a little longer. If you take a fork and gently rub it over the fish, the fish should flake. Let the fish cook for another minute and check it again. Fish cooks quickly so, check it frequently. Use a slotted spoon or fish turner to carefully lift the poached fish up and out of the milk. Serve the poached fish with fresh vegetables, roasted potatoes, rice, or a side of your choice. You can use the poaching liquid as a base for a creamy sauce. Try thickening the milk with a roux, cheese, or pureed vegetables (like cauliflower).

Article in English: While you can pray for anything during a fast, determining an objective for your fast beforehand provides you with a focal point to center the majority of your prayers around. Be open to a change in focus. It is possible that you will feel called to fast for one reason, only to discover that God wants you to meditate over another objective, instead. You can follow a Bible study guide or turn through the pages of your Bible in whatever way you feel called to do. Take notes on what you read and pray for a fuller understanding of scriptural lessons.  Note that if you are not a Christian, you should meditate over whichever holy text lies at the heart of your faith. You can also meditate over spiritual books that you are reading during the time of your fast. The majority of your prayers will likely be impromptu, personal prayers in your own words. When you are lost for words, however, consider switching to a scripted prayer in order to guide your communication with God. One of the most common scripted prayers is the “Lord's Prayer,” also called the “Our Father.” Any scripted prayer can be used, however, especially if it calls to you. The use of prayer aides can be controversial for some faiths, but they are acceptable for many others. Common prayer aides associated with Catholicism include rosaries, saint medals, and crucifixes. For non-Catholic denominations of Christianity, you could consider listening to instrumental versions of common hymns or using non-rosary prayer beads. While most of your prayers will likely be done on a personal, individual level, you can consider praying with others during your fast, as well. Praying in a group is thought to petition God to be among you, making group prayer a powerful tool.  You can pray aloud or silently. If praying aloud, however, avoid comparing your own prayers with those of the people around you. Good prayer partners during a fast usually include the people you have informed about your fast and anyone who is fasting alongside you. You can pray at any time of the...

Article in English: While you can simply buy a rubber plant from a gardening store, you can also start a plant from a stem cutting. Make a slanted cut below a node on the stem with a sterile knife.  You'll need at least 3 to 5 inches (7.6 to 12.7 cm) of stem with 2 to 3 nodes on it. The node is where the leaves attach to the stem. Wear gloves to work with this plant, as the sap can affect your skin. To sterilize a sharp knife, place it in a mixture of 1 part bleach and 3 parts water. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Add rooting medium like perlite to a small pot. Plant the stem 1/2-2/3 of the way into a hole with all the leaves above the soil. Water it until it's moist and cover it with clear plastic. Once the roots have reached 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm), you can move it to regular potting soil and a bigger pot. Place a seed in a small tray. Set a piece of thin cloth or paper towel over it and mist it to several times a day to keep the seed wet. Place it in an area with indirect light. The seed should sprout in about a week, after which you can move it to a small pot to grow. Wait until the seed has roots before you move it. Be very gentle with it, as seedlings are fragile.

Article in English: While you can wear a ponytail with freshly-washed locks, this style is great for second or third-day hair—even if you're aiming to create a dressy, polished look. You'll have fewer fly-aways, and the natural grease that comes from not shampooing will help hold your style and give you a bit of shine. Don't fear if you decide you want to wear your hair in a ponytail and have just shampooed: you can still style your hair into a polished ponytail, but may you need to use additional product to get the volume and texture you want.

Article in English: While you can't control your genetics, you can use the power of illusion to make your hair appear thicker. Ask your hairdresser for the best cut and style to create thickness and volume in your hair. Get your hair trimmed every 6-8 weeks to keep it looking fresh and full.  Add layers to create fullness, especially if your hair is very straight. If you are feeling daring, consider getting bangs. The contrast between your bangs and the rest of your hair will help accentuate length. Highlights add dimension to your hair, making it appear fuller. However, bleaching your hair extensively can cause breakage, so stay within your natural color range, or ask your stylist to use semi- or demi-permanent dyes. Hair extensions involve temporarily attaching either real or synthetic hair to your head. They can be held in place using thread or glue, or they can clip into place. Extensions can be a great way to add length, volume, and color to your hair. However, if your hair is already thin or damaged, extensions might not be your best option, as they can cause more damage.  If you have glue-in or sew-in extensions, they must be replaced every 3 months as your hair grows out. These extensions range in price from $100-$1,000 per set. Clip-in extensions should be taken out at the end of each day. They're much cheaper, but they also look less realistic.

Article in English: While you clean your kitchen and get on ant scout patrol, do some scouting work of your own. Can you tell where the ants are entering the house? Follow the first ants to see where they're entering and leaving. Popular routs of ingress for ants include things like gaps in the woodwork, cracks in cement, vents, screens, cracks in the floorboards, and so on. Alternatively, you can use putty, glue or plaster. Temporary methods of blocking ant access to your home include petroleum jelly or poster tack. If you use a temporary sealant (such as poster tack), only use this until you can purchase a more permanent solution, as it will deteriorate over time and the gap will open again. Soapy water will both kill ants and destroy their chemical trail. This will prevent more ants from following in their tracks. This cheap and easy method consists simply of:  Putting one teaspoon of liquid dish soap into a spray bottle and filling it with water. Add mint oil, citrus peels, or citrus rind oil to make this spray extra potent.  Spritzing the ants you see with the solution in your spray bottle.

Article in English: While you could probably carry out these instructions on your own, it is also helpful to have a psychologist help you through the process.  They’ll be able to help you plan the therapy, pick a partner that can help you and discuss the outcomes of each try. To start your therapy, you need to make a list of a variety of bathroom locations.  These locations need to be everything from very easy to very hard locations for you to go pee.  In addition to making the list, rank the locations from easiest to hardest. Because the main problem with paruresis is peeing in front of other people, you will need to enlist the help of a trusted family member or friend to help you overcome the problem. Throughout the process of peeing in your own home with your pee partner, purposely make noise while you’re peeing.  The types of noises you want to make are the types that embarrass you when you’re in a public bathroom.  For example, if you don’t like to hear the sound of your pee hitting the side of the toilet or the water, purposely make these types of noises while you pee.By purposely making these noises you’ll start to get used to them and they’ll become less embarrassing.  You’re essentially trying to desensitize yourself from these noises so you don’t think about them when you’re peeing. In order to make each practice session more realistic, and to ensure you actually have to go to the bathroom, drink enough liquids so your bladder is full.  Do this on purpose before each practice session with your pee partner.

Article in English: While you don't have the texting limitations of the days of old, you do still want to keep your interactions short. Long texts can be a turn off, as your guy has to wade through all that text just to figure out what you're saying.  In other words, don't write him a novel. Shortcuts are fine, as long as the person you're texting is a fan of them, such as LOL (Laugh Out Loud) or BRB (Be Right Back). However, you don't want to overuse shortcuts, especially ones that are more obscure. These shortcuts, along with emojis, can be a turn off for some people. Sarcasm is hard to portray over a text message, especially if you don't know the other person that well. Try to skip the sarcasm when flirting with a guy, at least until you both get to know each other better and are better at interpreting each other's tone. Sometimes, you may feel like you need to play games with the person that you like by waiting to respond. It's a type of power struggle. However, in the world of texting, not texting him back in at least a day says you don't like him much.  So if you do like him, make sure to text him back fairly quickly. Really, in the texting world, an hour can seem like a long time. If you're sending twenty messages a day, that may be too many, especially if he's not responding to every single one. Keep your count lower, in the 3 to 5 range per day. That way, he has a chance to miss you between the times you're texting. Also, skip the "Did you get my text?" messages, as they can come off as being too desperate. If he's not responding, he's likely just busy. Texting while drunk means you may text something you regret later. You may flirt a little more than you mean to, or you may turn the guy off because you're saying crazy things. While it may not be easy to stop yourself when you're in the situation, try to avoid it if possible. If you're an overanalyzer, text messages can be your worst nightmare. It gives you just enough text to analyze but not enough so that you can really glean more information from it. If you have this...

Article in English: While you don't need either of the following items to tame a horse, donkey, or mule, they will help:   Saddle - A saddle allows you to control a horse after you tame it; you can ride—but not control—unsaddled tamed horses. Saddles may spawn in village blacksmith chests or chests in dungeons. You cannot craft a saddle.   Apples - Having around 20 apples on hand will allow you to feed the horse before attempting to tame it, which will significantly improve your chances of taming the horse in one or two tries. Golden Apples will expedite this process further. These animals are most often found in the Plains and Savanna biomes, though you may find horses in NPC villages as well. Horses, donkeys, and mules are nonviolent, but you'll need your hand to be empty in order to attempt to mount them. If you want to feed the animal, equip the apple instead. Right-click the animal (PC), use the left trigger (consoles), press the "Mount" button when you get close to the animal in PE. You will automatically mount the animal. If you want to feed the animal, select it with the apple until the animal refuses to eat anymore, then select the animal with your empty hand. The horse, donkey, or mule will support you for anywhere from a second to several seconds before kicking you off and beginning to walk away. Once the animal finally stops trying to buck you off, you should see red hearts appear around it; this signifies that the horse, donkey, or mule has been tamed. If you want to saddle the tamed animal, mount it, press E, and then move the saddle into the "Saddle" spot in the animal's inventory.  On Minecraft PE, mount the animal, tap ⋯, tap the saddle, and tap the animal's "Saddle" icon. On console editions of Minecraft, mount the animal, tap Y or triangle, select the saddle, and then select the "Saddle" icon in the upper-left corner.

Article in English: While you don't need to see the doctor every time a sore throat pops up, some potential strep throat symptoms should cause you to make an appointment right away. If your sore throat is accompanied by swollen lymph nodes, a rash, difficulty swallowing or breathing, a high fever, or a fever lasting more than 48 hours, call the doctor for an appointment. You should also talk to your doctor if your sore throat lasts longer than 48 hours. Bring the doctor a thorough list of your symptoms and let them know that you suspect strep might be to blame. Your doctor will usually check for some of the most telling signs of the disease.  Expect your doctor to take your temperature. Also expect your doctor to look inside your throat with a light. He or she will most likely want to check for swollen tonsils, a red bumpy tongue rash, or white or yellow spots in the back of the throat. This protocol is basically an organized way for your doctor to assess your symptoms. For adults, your doctor may use what is known as a Modified Centor Clinical Prediction Rule in order to empirically indicate how likely it is that you have a group A Streptococcal infection. This is simply a list of criteria that the doctor checks for to determine whether (and how) you should be treated for strep throat.  The doctor will tally points, positive or negative, for signs and symptoms: +1 point for milky, white spots on the tonsils (tonsillar exudates), +1 point for tender lymph nodes (tender anterior chain cervical adenopathy), +1 point for a history of recent fever, +1 point for less than 15 years of age, +0 point for an age between 15-45 years old, -1 point for being greater than 45 years old, and -1 point for a cough. If you score 3-4 points, then there is a positive predictive value (PPV) of roughly 80% that you have a group A streptococcal infection. Basically, you are considered positive for strep. This infection should be treated with antibiotics and your doctor will prescribe the proper regimen. The Centor criteria has not proven effective in...

Stay away from anything that contains yeast, like most breads, processed foods, and baked goods. Sugar in any form (this included sucrose, glucose and fructose) is also a danger as yeast feeds and grows on sugar. Refined grains, malted products, and fermented products (vinegar, soy, ginger, beer and wine), including all alcohol, either contain yeast or quick-acting carbohydrates which feed the growth of yeast. Dairy products should be avoided, as with most cheese. The primary exception in this category is yogurt with living cultures. Any mushroom or fungus is out. It is recommended that you avoid stimulants like coffee, chocolate, black tea and so forth, as they release stored sugar into the body and so provide a breeding ground for yeast. The same applies for artificial sweeteners and spicy foods. Much easier than creating a list of foods you can't eat, is to create a list of foods that you can eat and stick to those. Find ways to make these foods interesting and broaden your horizons if any of these foods are ones you have yet to try. Essentially you are aiming for a diet of fresh greens and fresh proteins, with limited fresh fruits and dairy (as they are higher in sugars), and complex grains. But get to know the details so that you can make foods you enjoy! Things you can eat include:  Fresh meat, chicken and fish. Eggs. Garbanzo beans and lentils. Avocado. Walnuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias, and coconut. Brown rice (no white rice) and rice cakes. All vegetables, fresh or frozen, including onions and garlic. Fruit that is not bruised (but no melons or grapes). Limited milk (125ml per day) or soya / rice milk. Plain yoghurt with active cultures. Low fat cottage cheese with no sugar. Homemade popcorn. Plain chips with no MSG. Herbal teas. These are foods allowed weekly (only one item of each), that won't throw off your balance entirely in one serving, but will...

Article in English: While you don’t need to purchase fancy stationary or take calligraphy lessons, you should use your best handwriting so that your crush can easily read your message. If you scratched out a bunch of lines in your note, rewrite it. Your crush might be able to decipher what you crossed out, which you definitely don’t want. Avoid adding lots of hearts or kisses to the note. Save those for notes you write when you’re already dating someone! It’s super important that you sign the note with your name! After all, you want your crush to know that YOU like them, not that they have a secret admirer. If there are a few kids in your class with the same name, add your last name or at least your last initial to avoid any confusion.  For example, you could write, “I hope to hear back from you soon. From, Adam G.” Another example is, “See you in math class. Sarah O’Reilly.” You can fold your note in a fancy configuration, or put it in a sealed envelope. Be sure to put your crush’s name on the outside of the note so there’s no question as to who it’s for. Also, include their last initial or name if there’s more than one person at your school with the same name. For example, write, “To Marissa E.” You could hand your crush the note, or leave it in their locker. You could also have a friend give the note to your crush, but make sure they say it’s from you to avoid any confusion. It’s a good idea to wait until lunchtime or after school to deliver the note so that neither you nor your crush get in trouble during class.  You may want to wait until your crush is alone to deliver the note so they can read it privately. Alternatively, you could email the note to your crush. But, you won’t know if or when your crush reads the note, and they may not take a digital message as seriously as a handwritten note. You can add a line in the note asking your crush to write back, or ask them to let you know their response when you deliver the letter in person. For example, you could say, “I’ll be outside if you want to talk after you read this.”...

Article in English: While you don’t want your hilarious anecdotes to feel too staged, it’s a good idea to have a stock collection of amusing stories that you can reference in a pinch. Stick with general topics that are light and fun and try to avoid stories that are gross or intimate unless you know the girl well. Remember -- just because your friends think it’s hilarious doesn’t mean she will!  Think about some amusing stuff that’s happened to you in the past, like the time you wore your shirt inside out for school pictures. If you have a pet, you’ve probably got some hilarious pet stories to share! To keep things fresh, frequent a few funny websites like The Onion and draw from those when you need inspiration. One-liners are not the tools to reach for when you want to show off your sharp wit, but they can be great when you want to be silly. The cornier, the better! You can make them about her or go with something more general. Avoid awkward one-liners that are sexual in nature though. Contrary to popular belief, girls don’t find those very funny -- you might even make her uncomfortable. A few examples of fun one-liners you can try:  “Did you tie my shoelaces together? Because you got me trippin’ over you, girl!” “You have something beautiful on your face. Oh wait, that’s just you.” “A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing!” Think about stuff you do or say that cracks up your friends on a regular basis, especially your female friends. If you’re great at physical humor, go with that. If you're a master of mimicry and impersonations, give those a try. If sassy comebacks are your thing, try a few of those in her presence. Just make sure they’re lighthearted and not malicious! If you aren't sure what your strengths are, ask your friends. Don’t go off the deep end with self-deprecation, but targeting some silly things about yourself may crack her up. Draw from your personal experiences or learn to poke fun at yourself in the moment. For example, if you trip over something when you’re walking with...

Article in English: While you likely don't need to worry, suddenly losing your hair or having patches may be a sign of an underlying health condition that needs treatment. In some cases, your condition may even be serious. To make sure you're okay, visit your doctor to make sure you don't need medical treatment. Tell your doctor about all of the symptoms you're having, even if they don't seem related to your hair loss. This can help the doctor make a better diagnosis. Your doctor may recommend you get some diagnostic tests. While supplements are generally considered safe, they aren't right for everyone. They may worsen certain health conditions or could interact with medications you're taking. Talk to your doctor before you take a supplement to make sure it's safe for you.Tell your doctor about the supplements you plan to take and that you're hoping to regrow your hair. Additionally, remind them of the medications and supplements you're already taking.

Article in English: While you may be required to submit weekly reports as part of your job duties, keeping your job is not the purpose for the report itself. Determining why your employer wants weekly reports will help you decide exactly what information should go into it, and which items are the most important.  Typically your report is supposed to update managers on the status of your projects or assist them in making decisions. For example, if you are a retail store manager, you may be required to submit weekly reports that summarize your sales for the week. Your employer uses this report to evaluate performance, price points, and orders for your store. If you're submitting weekly reports for an internship or research project, the purpose is to show your employer or instructor how much progress you've made and share any major breakthroughs or discoveries. Identifying your audience is crucial to planning your report. Without knowing who will read your report (and why), you have no way of knowing which information is the most important.  Knowing your audience also helps you understand how to write your report and what kind of language to use. For example, you'd write an entirely different report if your audience was a group of five-year-olds than if you were writing it for executives of a major corporation. You also get a better idea of what your audience already knows, and what you need to explain more in-depth or provide additional resources. For example, if you're writing a weekly report on a legal issue that will be read by a group of lawyers, there's no need to provide an in-depth summary of the law. However, such a summary might be required if you were writing about the issue for executives or administrators with no legal training. If your report is required in conjunction with an internship, research project, or other school activity, keep in mind that your audience is not your professor or instructor – even though you may be turning it in to them. To find your audience in this context, focus on the nature of your...

Article in English: While you may be tempted to push your feelings down and pretend they don't exist, this is only a temporary solution. Feelings don't just "go away" if you ignore them--they come out in other, usually destructive ways. Give yourself the time and space to express your sadness.  Cry, punch a pillow, sit in your car and scream if you think it will release some of the negativity.  Try not to turn to alcohol or other substances to cope with your feelings. This may work temporarily, but it may only make things worse in the long run. Be careful that you don't get caught up in your sadness. At a certain point, you will have to start making moves to heal. If it's been weeks and you've stopped taking care of yourself (not showering, crying all the time, refusing to see friends), then it's time to focus on feeling better. Even if you think it's clear you are meant to be, the hard truth is that they don't feel the same. You can't control how someone else feels or chooses to do with their life. You may be tempted to try and change their mind--with passionate pleas, gifts, or even yelling--but you can't make someone feel something they don't feel. Keep in mind, this person is probably not trying to hurt you. They can't make themselves have feelings for you, either. If you can, take a break from this person for a while. This can be difficult to do, but is an important step to take to feel better.You don't have to be mean or cut them out completely, but some distance is necessary for you to put these feelings to rest. If this person is part of your daily life (like a coworker or classmate), do everything you can to minimize your contact with them. Don't sit next to them at lunch, don't walk with them to class.  This also means minimizing your contact online, too. If you can unfollow, unfriend, or at least hide this person from your social media, do so. Checking on their Facebook/Instagram/Twitter will just keep the feelings alive. If the person knows you have feelings for them, tell them you need some space. Ask that they...

Позвольте себе расстроиться. Поймите, что невозможно заставить человека испытывать взаимные чувства. Обеспечьте себя необходимым личным пространством. Найдите подтверждения, что человек вам не подходит. Не принимайте отказ на свой счет.


Article in English: While you may be tempted to run out and “accidentally” bump into your ex to try to make them jealous of your fabulous new life, hold on! It’s best to wait for at least a few months to have any contact with your ex at all. Make sure you are done grieving the breakup and you are completely over them before you see them again. The amount of time it might take you to get over your ex can vary depending on how long you were together and how serious your relationship was. It might take a few weeks, months, or longer before you feel ready. Until then, go out of your way to avoid them. You definitely should not text your ex since this might send the message that you want them back or possibly even that you’re desperate. However, if they text you, then you can text them back. Just make sure that you wait for longer than you normally would to reply to their text.  For example, if your ex texts you and you would normally reply within 5 minutes, wait for an hour or more to reply. This will make them jealous by sending the message that you are too busy to sit around texting them. If you really want to send the message that you couldn’t care less, then don’t respond at all. If you like, send a text a few days later and say something like, “Sorry! I was on a date when you texted me and then I forgot to reply. Hope you’re doing well!” If you do happen to bump into your ex, focus all of your energy on being polite. If you seem genuinely pleasant and happy, this is more likely to make your ex feel jealous than if you snub them or say something rude to them. Resist the urge to tell them exactly what you think of them.  You don’t need to have a long conversation to be polite. If you pass your ex on the street, a simple smile and quick eye contact might be enough. If your ex approaches you to talk, try saying something like, “Hi, Josh! It’s nice to see you. How have you been?” If you do feel ready to start talking with your ex or possibly even be their friend, let them know that. Seeing you have moved on enough to invite a...

Summary in Russian:

Не торопитесь снова видеться с бывшим парнем. Отвечайте на сообщения с небольшой задержкой. Будьте вежливы при случайных встречах. Сообщите парню, что вы не против поддерживать дружеские отношения в будущем. Выразите радость, если парень состоит в новых отношениях.


Article in English: While you may feel like you put in a lot of effort to this relationship-- including caretaking roles-- it’s likely you’ve also gained from this relationship. If you did not find some fulfillment in the relationship, you probably would have ended the relationship much sooner. Consider how this relationship has served you and why it no longer serves you. For example, you may have felt like you had a sense of purpose by taking care of someone who was an alcoholic or that had a major medical condition. You may love the feeling of “being needed” or being in control. People in codependent relationships tend to have a fear of abandonment. This can be one reason they choose a helping role in a relationship: taking care of someone and having someone depend on them means this person won’t likely abandon them. If you have a fear of people leaving you, see a therapist. Therapy can help you work through feelings of abandonment, explore ways to care for yourself, and trust others. Often, abandonment issues start in childhood or with a traumatic event. It’s beneficial to work through these issues in order to help you free yourself from the fear of abandonment. Chances are, you find at least part of your self-worth in caretaking. Instead of relying on helping others to validate you, learn to validate yourself without needing others to validate you. You may feel as if you need others to tell you how important you are, but you can do this on your own. As you think about ending the codependent relationship, reflect on where you derive your sense of self-worth. How do you perceive yourself?  What are your own thoughts about who you are and what you deserve? Do other people seem more able to attain success or happiness than you? You may be so caught up in meeting someone else’s needs that you neglect your own needs. While it may feel like the person depends on you, recognize what is within your own responsibility. It’s likely that by devoting your time, attention, and resources on this person, you’ve neglected taking care of...

Article in English: While you may feel tempted to skip breakfast or spend a day fasting, you should resist the urge to do so. Prolonged fasting can cause muscle loss and other health problems, but it can also make it more difficult for your body to lose weight. When the human body does not receive enough nutrition, it automatically starts conserving calories by burning them at a slower rate. You may experience significant weight loss after the first few days, but by the end of the two weeks, you will probably gain a good portion of it back. The exception to this is if you're on a highly-regimented intermittent fasting plan. This is where you don't eat anywhere from eight to twenty-four hours and then eat planned amounts of calories (often more) thereafter. While this can be effective, do this only with the approval of your physician. If you don't do it correctly, you could actually increase your body's tendency to store fat. Many people find success with a timed plan. That is, they decide that they won't eat after a certain time, usually somewhere around 7 to 8 pm. Nighttime eating is generally the worst for most people, as the TV is on and friends are habitually munching, too. This can be emotionally difficult, but it can pay off. You may need to be reasonable with yourself. Have this rule for only five or six days out of the week. Give yourself some wiggle room to go out with friends – but that doesn't mean you can go crazy. Stick to a glass of red wine and a few bites – don't eat the entire buffet. The idea that it's all about calories is slowly becoming old school. The fact of the matter is that everybody's body is different and not all calories are made the same. What's more, counting calories sucks. That being said, they're a good general guideline. For the purposes of this diet, budget your calories throughout the day. If you've done really, really great, have that piece of dark chocolate or that extra half a chicken breast. Don't go overboard, but keep yourself from feeling deprived. You'll want to balance the calories...

Article in English: While you may have to buy a heat gun to complete this method, it's still more cost effective than buying a $100-$200 vaporizer. A heat gun like this costs around $40 and the rest of the supplies you probably have around your house, or can get at the grocery store for less than 5 bucks. For this method, you'll need:  a heat gun that heats to at least 200 degrees C paper towel and toilet paper tubes of the same diameter aluminum foil an oven bag, also known as a turkey bag a tea ball twist ties a funnel or coffee percolator small enough to nest in the paper towel tube It might help to roll the foil around a pen or a ruler, insert it into the tube, and then unroll the foil when it's on the inside. Leave enough of a lip on the foil (about an inch or so) to wrap around the outside edge of the tube and secure it. Opinions vary among smokers regarding whether or not heated aluminum foil is actually safe, or whether it gives off harmful vapors of its own. Some studies suggest that aluminum poisoning contributes to Alzheimer's disease, though this method typically won't scorch and melt any aluminum. If you want to vaporize for health reasons, keep this in mind. You'll want the funnel to point outward. To make sure it creates a tight seal, you might consider using some duct tape or glue before securing it with foil. Fix the open mouth of the oven bag over the nozzle and wrap some twist ties around it securely. Then, fold the edges of the bag up over the ties and secure them again with another tie. Here, you're just creating a folded edge to make sure the bag nestles snugly against the nozzle. The bag will collect the vapor as you heat it. You can pass the bag around, so it might also be smart to have something to plug the hole in the bag with. Or you can just use your thumb. Now you've got a bunch of strange-looking devices covered with tinfoil, but it'll come together very easily. Aiming the heat gun straight up in the air, put the toilet paper tube over the heat nozzle. Put what you want to smoke into the tea ball...

Article in English: While you may need to fulfill a prerequisite (e.g., being a member or purchasing a beverage), you can usually obtain free Wi-Fi from the following types of business:  Starbucks (and other coffee shops) Public libraries Fast food restaurants Malls Truck stops There are several apps that you can download for the iPhone and Android that will display free, open network connections on a map using your location. "WeFi" and "WiFi Map" are highly reviewed apps that are available for both iPhones and Androids. Most major hotels will include free Wi-Fi as a perk if you book your room through the hotel's official site or over the phone. Some hotels still won't provide free Wi-Fi for guests who book through them, though you may be able to get free Wi-Fi by signing up for these hotels' loyalty programs. If you pay for cable, you may be able to use your login details to access free wireless hotspots around town.  Cable providers known for this service include Time Warner Cable and Comcast. You can check out your provider's hotspot locations in your area by visiting their website. If you're in an urban area and you aren't able to visit a coffee shop or a restaurant, you may be able to find an unprotected--and, thus, accessible--network in your phone's or computer's available networks. Unprotected networks should be used carefully since any data accessed while using them may be stolen.

Article in English: While you may not be able to afford the most exclusive neighborhoods or buildings, you can find something not terribly far from where the real money resides. Get as close as you can. Or settle for a shoe in the box, right in the middle. In doing so, you’ll be running errands, walking your dog, jogging, drinking your coffee, etc., in the same areas. In doing so, you’re absorbing the culture and meeting people.  This provides opportunities to become more relaxed amongst the rich and to be noticed at no (more) additional cost to you.  If you can’t afford to move, simply start getting your groceries in upscale neighborhoods. Drive your car to the high-end park for your morning jog and so forth. If you want to be rich, you need to [look] rich. If you don’t look and act the part, you likely won’t close the deal. You want your look to be sexy but not so much that it crosses the line into looking sleazy. Sexy but sophisticated is the way to go, investing in only a few classic pieces that can be worn with a variety of other things. Look for them at consignment shops and online at websites like eBay. Also invest in 1-2, second-hand and versatile designer handbags.  Accessories such as jewelry are also important, but these are more easily faked. Pearls are classic, for instance, and don’t need to be real, and a pair of cubic zirconium stud earrings and a matching necklace will never go out of style and won’t cost a fortune. Know the dress code of any event you attend and make sure you adhere to it. If you’re not sure, it’s always best to be a bit overdressed than underdressed. Avoid over-tanning, wearing too much makeup, and coloring your hair in ways that looks unnatural as it’s not generally a classy look. Even if you may not have been educated in finance or political theory, you need to be well versed in the things rich men discuss. Since they are often big players in business and politics, gain knowledge in these areas through reading newspapers daily – particularly the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal –...

Article in English: While you may not be able to afford to shop at Prada or Louis Vuitton, you can still visit other places that celebrities also frequent. In L.A., locales like the Brentwood Farmers Market and Whole Foods are often frequented by celebrities doing their shopping. Stores usually don’t look kindly on people who loiter without making purchases. Buying something from the store, even if it’s small or inexpensive, will help ensure that you don’t make yourself unwelcome. Press conferences and premiers often run late, so if you arrive in the morning, you may see the celebrity leaving for work.  Lingering in the hotel lobby may get you in trouble, so consider having a drink in the hotel bar. Sit so that you can see who comes in and out of the hotel. Don't be disappointed if you don't see the person coming into or leaving the hotel. Many large hotels with a celebrity clientele have back entrances to protect their privacy. If you have attended a concert, ask where the tour vans are located, and try to get in that area. Many bands pack up quickly after the show, but some people may be hanging around and could introduce you. Become a waiter at their favorite restaurant, a bartender at their regular bar, or a personal trainer at their gym. Working an eight hour shift greatly increases the odds you will be there when they are there.  Make sure to get a job that lets you interact with the patrons. Jobs like valet parking and coat check, while not particularly exciting, are likely to put you in contact with celebrities dining out or staying in hotels.  Always be professional. Most employers at places that celebrities frequent will not look kindly at potential harassment of their famous clientele. It’s fine to start up a chat or even ask for a photograph under the right circumstances, but if you become a nuisance you’re not likely to keep your job.

Article in English: While you may not be able to allow this person to exit your life (say, if it’s a co-worker or family member), you can limit your contact. Make yourself less available to this person (via text, phone, email and social media) and communicate that you would rather not spend all your time “plugged in.”  Say “I have just a few minutes before I need to go”, and politely disengage when time is up.   Politely decline any time you don’t want to spend with this person. Don’t lie or make up excuses, but do communicate your position by saying “I’m unavailable” or “I’m not interested in that activity.” If this person texts or calls you incessantly, let her or him know that it’s too much contact. Gently tell this person you don’t like to communicate at all times and would like more space. This person may go to you to fix his or her problems, or always seem to have some sort of crisis. If you don’t want to take this on, don’t. If you hate getting caught up in gossip or “woe is me” stories, communicate this need tactfully.  Especially if you give advice and this person tends to go against it, let it go. Allow the person to make his or her own decisions without you being a factor.  Say, “I don’t want to have this role in your life.” Avoid offering solutions. Instead, offer words of empowerment, such as, “I’m sure you’ll be able to work this out on your own.” If asked, “Why don’t we hang out anymore?”, don’t lie. There’s no use creating a lie that you will have to keep up, and it is more respectful to the person and to yourself to remain in honesty. You may feel like you are protecting yourself or the other person, but ask yourself whether there is any real benefit from lying. However, there’s no need to tell the person all the things you perceive as negative. Instead, put the focus on your own needs.  Say, “Sometimes I have difficulty being involved in the drama of other people’s lives when I have so much of my own already.” You can also say, “It can feel really draining to be so closely involved with other people that I...
