One great way of telegraphing to everyone in the room that you're cocky is to display this trait with confident body language. You'll want to have a broad, erect stance as your default way of standing. Keep your shoulders back and your head up while holding your chest up. It sounds crazy, but it works - changing from a slouched or slumped default posture to a more dignified one can make a marked difference on how people think of you (and how you think of yourself.) Cocky people know that they're the coolest person to walk the face of the earth - their faces should reflect this. A cocky person is perpetually amused with himself. Keep a proud smile on your face whenever you can. When you're interacting with someone, especially if it's someone you're interested in romantically, you might want to add a little mischievousness to your expression, as if you consider the conversation to be an amusing game. These relatively small changes to your expression can cause significant changes in your behavior. Pretending to feel a certain way can actually make you feel that way, which will make your cockiness seem all the more natural. Cocky people always know what they're doing and where they're going. Your movements should reflect this. Walk with confidence - keep your head up and your shoulders back as you take fairly quick strides toward where you want to go. Whenever possible, walk in a straight line to your desired location. Don't slow down or dawdle unless you come across something or someone who interests you. Ideally, you want to create the impression that everything you do is important, so walk as if you need to make an important appointment. Most people will naturally assume that you  are  important. Cocky people know they're hot! Dress to show off the hottest aspects of your body. If you've got great, muscly arms, wear short sleeves to have the ladies swooning. Have you got long, sexy legs? Show them off with some tight jeans! Don't be shy - you're the best-looking person you know, so it'd be a disservice  not ...

One great way to forget about your crush is to spend as much time as possible with the people who mean the most to you. Your friends and family have been there for you through thick and thin and they will make you feel better about your romantic situation just by being there for you. Though your social routine doesn’t have to be so jam packed that you don’t have a minute to yourself, you should make an effort to spend more time with your loved ones, so you can be grateful for all of the positive relationships in your life – instead of obsessing over the one relationship that didn’t pan out. Don’t spend your Friday or Saturday nights alone or you’ll wish you were with your crush. Hang out with your girl or guy friends instead, and you’ll be having so much fun that you’ll forget all about your crush. Spending time doing something that means a lot to you is a sure fire way to banish any thoughts about your crush from your mind. You should spend more time pursuing your favorite hobby, whether it’s running or painting, exercising, reading, or just doing whatever makes you happy. Maybe you think you’re too busy to make time for the things you care about. If that’s the case, then make the time by cutting something else out of your life; if you’re committed to pursuing your passion, then all thoughts of your crush will slowly drift away. Maybe you’re feeling so down in the dumps about your crush because you don’t have a lot of things that you really care about. It could be time to find out what your passion really is by taking a class out of your comfort zone, signing up for a photography, ballroom dancing, acting, or singing class, or just trying something completely new that you have a feeling might make you happy. Though spending time with your friends and family and doing your favorite activities can make you forget your crush, if you really want to find peace on your own, then you have to be comfortable with spending some time with your favorite person – you. If you’re really sad and upset the second you’re not...

One great way to get some good publicity going and to find out what people like most about your product is to allow people to test it out. You can use their feedback to help you market the product, such as by gaining customer testimonials. Consider the best way to allow people to test your product. For example, you might be able to show people the high quality of your headphones by setting up a kiosk in a mall and inviting passersby to try them out. This document should recount the product’s specific details and features. It should explain the specifics of a product to consumers while still making it attractive and exciting. In other words, a good product sheet balances important technical information that is legally necessary with marketing allure.  Product sheets should Include information regarding general usage, product components or ingredients, and any relevant safety warnings. For example, the product sheet might explain how to get the best quality sound out of the headphones and warn about the dangers associated with listening to music too loudly. Within reason, they can also be seen as extensions of a marketing campaign, and use words and images that will entice customers. For example, a headphone product sheet might use words like “crisp,” “powerful,” and “thumping” to describe the sound quality in a way that customers may find enticing. Ensure that this website provides customer testimonials, appealing images of your new product, as well as detailed information for consumers. Include product comparisons, ordering information, and promotional offers to further entice buyers.  Make sure that your website guides visitors to do what you want them to do. For example, do you want them to order your product? Do you want them to download your app? Make sure that there are multiple ways for your website visitors to do what you want them to do.  Consider hiring a skilled website designer. A website designer can make sure that your website is easy to navigate and professional looking. Multichannel marketing...

One guide suggests having 10 gallons of capacity per inch of turtle length, plus an additional 15 percent space for a basking area. For the first year, you can get by with a 50 gallon tank for a baby, but after that you need at least 120 gallons. Save money by getting a tank large enough to begin with. Take into account:  Water depth: Turtles love to dive and chase food, so make sure the water is plenty deep enough to allow this. Space: Turtles are territorial so make sure they have plenty of space to keep away from one another, or you may need to separate them into individual tanks. Waste: Turtle waste is more solid than fish waste. This needs to be kept well diluted by providing a large volume of water, and /or the use of filter system designed for turtles. The ideal container is a large glass aquarium but these can be expensive. A cheaper alternative is a stock tank. A 100 gallon stock tank can be purchased relatively inexpensively. Avoid purchasing acrylic tanks, which are cheaper, but easily scratched by turtle claws.  Get a floating dock or a rock that is above the water level. A slider can rest on this when it is not swimming. If you live in a warm climate and have a suitable backyard, you can dig out a pond and use a liner to provide a suitable home for a slider. While this will provide a more natural environment for your turtle, you will have less control over environmental conditions and may need to bring your turtle inside during inclement weather. The filter keep help prevent bacteria from flourishing in your slider's tank. You don't necessarily have to buy a filter system. You can change the water regularly, which is a highly labor intensive task, or use a filter system designed for turtles. There are different types of filter, depending on your current needs and budget:  Under-gravel filter: This needs a large surface area. It's only useful where you have one or two turtles. If it's air pump powered, it will only be useful for small turtles or hatchlings. Use a powerhead if using the filter with...

One important component of your breakfast should be protein.  Studies have shown that those people who had a decent amount of protein at their breakfast stayed satisfied longer and were able to maintain a healthy weight.  To ensure you're eating enough protein at breakfast, aim for about 1 serving of a protein-rich food.  This is about 3 – 4 oz or about 1/2 cup.  Try these protein-rich foods at breakfast:  lean breakfast meat (like turkey bacon, turkey sausage or ham), low-fat dairy products, smoked salmon or eggs. Grains are a common food group found in breakfast meals.  They offer a great source of energy and can be made quickly to help you get out the door faster in the morning.  Grains, especially whole grains, are great for breakfast.  They can offer a little bit of protein and fiber.  The body uses carbohydrates, fat, and lastly protein for fuel. These nutrients follow different metabolic pathways to provide energy (or fuel).  Carbohydrates are a great fuel source and readily broken down for use, so make sure you include them in your breakfast.  Try to choose whole grains at breakfast.  These are less processed and have a high nutrient content (especially fiber) compared to more refined grains. Great grain-based foods for quick breakfasts include:  whole grain waffles, whole grain bread, oatmeal, whole wheat English muffins, mini whole wheat bagels or a whole grain cereal. Another important component at breakfast is a high fiber fruit.  Fruits are an easy way to get in a source of fiber and vitamins early in the morning.  Fruit is a common and tasty breakfast side dish.  Including them helps balance your breakfast meal and provides an adequate source of fiber, vitamins and antioxidants to your meal.  If you choose to include fruit at breakfast, make sure to measure the appropriate portion.  It's one small piece of fruit or about 1/2 cup of diced fruit. You can have any fruit as a side to your meal, but you can also add fruit to your meals to make them balanced.  For example, top yogurt, oatmeal or...

One important difference between drinking and tasting is expectorating. Roll the wine around in your mouth, exposing it to all of your taste buds. Pay attention to the texture and other tactile sensations such as the sense of weight or body (the wine feels physical). What are the initial flavors that stand out? Most importantly, do you like it? Spit the wine into a spittoon, provided on all wine-tours, if you are planning to taste lots of wine. Getting drunk will make it harder to taste complex wines later on. If you're driving, use the spittoon. With your lips pursed as if you were to whistle, draw some air into your mouth and exhale through your nose. This liberates the aromas for the wine and allows them to reach your nose via the passageway at the back of your throat, known as the retro-nasal cavity. The nose is the only place where you can detect a wine's aromas. However, the enzymes and other compounds in your mouth and saliva alter some of a wine's aromatic compounds. You are looking for any new aromas liberated by the wine's interaction with the environment of your mouth. In other words, slurp the wine (without making a loud slurping noise, of course). Note the subtle differences in flavor and texture. Flavors and scents come in successive waves in fine wines, they are revealed as your sensors adjust to the wine.  This is especially important with red wines. Don't worry if this makes you feel out of place. It is an accepted step in wine tasting. Is there any one taste that overpowers the rest? Can you detect the same flavors you smelled now that you are tasting the wine? Great wines are balanced so that they don't attack your taste buds. You can taste 2-3 different fruits, a mixture of sweet and sour, and some earthy characteristics.  A little bitterness is natural, but it shouldn't ruin your palate. All wines are different -- whites and dessert wines, for example, are usually on the sweeter side. You are looking for balanced flavors, whatever they are, not one "perfect" balance. How long does the...

One important factor is the size of your dryer. Some smaller dryers may not be large enough to wash a large electric blanket. The main criteria is the blanket’s ability to tumble freely. If there is not enough room for your blanket to tumble in your dryer, consider air drying your blanket instead. Your user manual will also include specific instructions on drying your blanket.  Some models may even require a brief dryer “pre-heating” period, akin to pre-heating your oven.  Otherwise, you’ll likely be directed to dry your blanket somewhere between five and ten minutes.  Unless directed otherwise, always set your dryer to “low” when drying your electric blanket. Remove the blanket from the dryer while it’s still damp. Depending on your blanket’s manufacturer, it may need to be stretched back to its normal size after washing and/or drying. Since the blanket will still be slightly damp, it will likely be easy to reshape. In order to do so, have someone else help you. Stand across from one another, with both of your arms reaching along opposite edges of the blanket as far as possible. Then simply gently pull apart from one another. To allow the blanket to dry the rest of the way, or if you simply wish to entirely air dry your blanket, drape it over a clothesline or shower rod that will be able to bear its weight.  Note that it is extremely important to wait until an electric blanket is fully dry before plugging it back in and/or using it again.

One important thing to keep in mind when it comes to controlling your mood swings is to know when your emotions are taking over so much that your best move is to exit the situation. If you're getting heated, incredibly angry, or filled with resentment or another negative emotion and you feel like you don't have control over what you're doing or saying, then you should excuse yourself and walk away. You could also just leave the situation without saying anything. Though this may not give you the resolution you want, this will keep you from saying or doing something you might regret later.  If you're in the middle of an argument, and things are getting intense, try saying something like, "Excuse me, but I need a few minutes to gather my thoughts." Then, go somewhere quiet and try to think about what happened. When you walk away and your breathing and thinking return to normal, you'll be able to have a more rational perspective on the situation. Then, you can consider returning to the situation or conflict. Sometimes you just need to press pause and take a few minutes to calm down and check in your with yourself. When you feel your emotions rising, whether it's over an email exchange or an annoying situation at the supermarket, just take five minutes to be still, focus on getting your breathing back to normal, and wait until you stop feeling angry before you return to the situation. Remember that there's no shame in taking a break and returning to a situation with a calmer mind.  Try counting to 10 and breathing during your break. This long-practiced technique of counting to 10 before taking action works because it gives you a distraction and breaks between the incident and your response, which in turn ensures that your emotions don't take you over.  Sometimes all you need is a change in environment. Maybe you've been cooped up too long at work and need to go outside to get some fresh air. Maybe you've been driving from place to place all day and just need to sit down. Whatever it is, taking a break from what...

One key part of fat loss is exercise.  Cardiovascular (cardio) or aerobic exercise helps your body burn calories and can support your weight loss.  Maintaining the body’s lean muscle mass and burning calories can be accomplished by performing cardio exercise regularly. Aim for about 150 minutes of cardio each week. Ideally, the exercise performed should be at moderate intensity. This is any activity that raises your heart rate and breathing to a level where it's still comfortable for you to say short sentences without stopping for a breath.  Different types of aerobic activity can include: walking/running, biking, using the elliptical, swimming or dancing. Interval training is a combination of strength training and cardio in short bursts of high and moderate intensity exercises. You can do these types of activity for shorter amounts of time.  Studies show that this type of activity helps support fat loss. A crucial part to fat loss and muscle mass maintenance is strength training. Consistent weight training helps prevent muscle mass loss and can increase the amount of lean muscle mass.  Strength training should be done for about 20–30 minutes per session. Try to work every major muscle group during each training. Make sure to work: core (back, abs and glutes), chest, arms and legs. Strength training activities include: weight lifting, isometric exercises and classes like yoga or pilates. If you're just starting out with weights or strength training, start with low weights and a few repetitions. Do not start out with overly heavy weights or train for long periods of time - this could cause injury. Limit your training frequency for each muscle group to every other day at a maximum. Each specific muscle group should only be directly stimulated one to two times per week in order to allow for full recovery time. Taking a day or two off within the week will help your body recover and continue to maintain and build lean muscle mass. It's important to take off between both cardio and strength training throughout the...

One key to training puppies properly is to help them learn basic obedience commands. Sit is probably the easiest and most useful command. Reward-based training is one of the best ways to train your dog. In this system, positive reinforcement (usually in the form of a small bite of a tasty treat) is given immediately when the puppy complies with your command. The puppy then learns to associate the action (to sit) with the command (“Sit”) given. Remember to reward the puppy as soon as he performs the action. Failure to reward immediately will confuse the puppy as to what you expect of him. Don’t say, “Now I want you to sit,” as the puppy won’t understand what you expect. Keep all commands short and simple. Simply say, “Sit,” for example. Use treats and praise every time when teaching a new command.  Once the puppy consistently obeys the command, you can give treats intermittently. However, make sure you always stay consistent with the praise every time regardless of treats. Apply these same principles for other commands, including “Come” and “Stay.” The key is to reward immediately, be consistent, and use simple command words. Puppies love to bite and chew. Chewing is a natural behavior for a puppy. However, you must teach the puppy items that are okay to chew versus ones that aren’t okay to chew. To help teach them the correct items to chew on, keep plenty of toys on hand, such as toy ropes. You can purchase these from the dollar store.  Puppies love chewing ropes, and it’s a great way to help them get through the teething stage. For example, if you find the puppy chewing on a shoe, take the shoe, put it out of reach, and give him a toy to chew on. As you take the shoe away, say, “No chew.” The puppy will eventually understand what he can and cannot chew. When your puppy bites or chews something other than his toys, such as one of your shoes, distract and redirect him. Put an exciting toy in front of him or make a short sharp noise. Then quickly swap the shoe for something he is allowed to play with, bite, and...

One major symptom of Prader-Willi Syndrome is weak muscles and lack of muscle tone. The weak muscles are usually most noticeable in the torso area. The child may also appear to have floppy limbs or a floppy body. The baby may also have a weak or soft cry. This is usually apparent at birth or right after birth. The floppiness or weakened muscles may get better or go away after a few months. Another common problem for children with PWS is feeding difficulties. The child may not be able to suck properly, so they will need assistance to feed. Because of the difficulties feeding, the child has slow growth development or a failure to grow.  You may have to employ the use of feeding tubes or purchase special nipples to help the child suck properly. This generally causes a difficulty for the infant to thrive. These sucking problems may improve after a few months. As the child ages, they may experience rapid and excessive weight gain. This is generally due to problems with the pituitary gland and hormonal issues. The child may overeat, be hungry all the time, or have a food obsession, which adds to the weight gain.  This generally occurs between ages one and six. The child may end up classified as obese. Another symptom of PWS is abnormal facial features. This includes almond shaped eyes, thin upper lips, narrowing at the temples, and a down turning of the mouth. The child may also have an upturned nose. Another developmental symptom of PWS is delayed development of the sexual organs. Often children with PWS have hypogonadism, which means they have underactive testicles or ovaries. This causes a reduced development of their genitalia.  In females, they may have abnormally small vaginal lips and clitoris. In males, they may have a small scrotum or penis. They may have delayed or incomplete puberty. This also can lead to infertility. Children with PWS may display the signs of developmental delays. This may present as a minor or moderate intellectual disability, or the child may have learning disabilities. They may not...

One natural way you can try to kill the queen ant is to use water to flush the colony. Start with about two to three gallons of boiling water. Pour it directly onto the ant hill. This should kill any ant it touches, including the queen ant. Don’t do this to fire ants. If you accidentally get any on you, you can get injured. Making a solution of borax or boric acid and a sugary substance can help kill ants, including the queen. Mix ¾ of microwave heated maple syrup or honey with ¼ cup of borax. Stir until smooth and combined. This creates a liquid bait for the adult ants. To make a solid bait that will kill larva, use the same ratio of powdered sugar to borax, mixing until it is combined.  Place large drops of the baits in the middle of a trail of ants, including any walls, railings, or sidewalks. Place the liquid and solid mixtures along the trail as you near the nest. If there are multiple trails, do it on each trail. Don’t place borax in the garden or on soil. If you have ants in your garden, place the solution on something to protect the soil and your plants. You can buy borax at the supermarket or home improvement stores. Borax is toxic. Make sure to prevent pets and children from getting into this solution. Cornstarch is another natural method you can try to kill the queen ant. Place a line of cornstarch around the nest or ant hill. The ants will take the cornstarch into the colony to be used as food. The fiber content in the starch will make the ants swell and die, including the queen if she eats the cornstarch. This may take a while to work, but may be more effective and long-lasting.

One needs to be cube-shaped while the other needs to be rectangular. Both need to be about the same width. It is fine if the rectangular table is a few inches/centimeters wider, however. The rectangular coffee table will make the bottom of the condo, and the cube-shaped one will make the top. The cube-shaped coffee table should not have a shelf between the legs. It is fine if the rectangular one has a shelf, however. If the color does not appeal to you, you can always paint the tables. The quickest way to do this would be with spray paint, but you can use acrylic paint and a wide paint brush as well. You can paint both tables the same color. You can also paint them using contrasting colors instead.  You will be gluing rope to some of the table legs in a later step. You might want to leave those legs unpainted. If you will be gluing some carpet down to the top of the square table (or the shelf on the rectangular table), leave that part unpainted. Position the square table at one of the narrow ends of the rectangular table. The other half of the rectangular table should be bare. This will create a shelf for the cat to sit on. If you left some of the legs unpainted, those legs should be facing the longer/bare part of the rectangular table.  If you are using wood glue: paint the bottom of the square table's legs with a thick layer of wood glue. Place the table down on top of the rectangular table and let the glue dry. If you are using metal brackets: Take four L-shaped metal brackets, and screw them to the inside of each of the square table's legs. Set the table down on top of the rectangular table. Screw the brackets to the top of the rectangular table. Make sure that the legs you are wrapping are facing the shelf/bare part of the rectangular table. Scuff the entire leg up with rough sandpaper, then paint the first few inches/centimeters of the leg with wood glue. Wrap the rope around the leg until you cover the glue. Paint the leg with a few more inches/centimeters of glue, and wrap more rope around it. Keep...

One oddly specific thing you’ll see in tons of shots of Tumblr users’ rooms is a wall collage. This is just what it sounds like: a collection of images patched together in whatever design you choose. These can be personal photos, pictures cut from magazines, or even original pieces of artwork you've created. There's no limit to the size of your collage besides the edges of your wall, so get creative!  For the purposes of this article, let's follow along with a few running examples. Let's say that three young adults, David, Kim, and Luis, are trying to turn their boring bedrooms into awesome Tumblr rooms. By following along as these people add Tumblr style to their rooms, we can get a sense for the sort of decisions you can make when you're fixing up your own room. Let's start with David. David has a habit of documenting every event in his and his friends' lives with the camera on his phone. Since David's going to leave for college in a year, he might choose to have his vast collection of photos developed at the local pharmacy so that he can make a collage dedicated to his time growing up. When he gets his photos back, David has enough to cover one entire wall, so he does, creating a sort of "wall of memories." Your bed is the centerpiece of your Tumblr room, so make sure it's presentable. Your sheets don't necessarily have to be very expensive; no one on the internet will be able to tell what your thread count is just from looking on your pictures, but they should be clean, stain-free, and match well with the other decorations in your room. If you're not sure what color of sheets will fit your room, try to match the color of your sheets to your wall, trim, or other furniture in the room. Neutral colors like white almost always work well. Let's switch our focus to Kim. Kim's current bed is a little ratty-looking. She's still using an old, worn-out duvet cover that leaks feathers from her comforter and one of her sheets has an embarrassing cranberry juice stain that she hasn't been able to get out. To cheaply...

One of coffee's positive attributes is its ability to suppress your appetite. Try drinking some coffee if you find yourself craving food or going for seconds at meals. This may reduce your cravings until a meal or to get you through a long meal. Consider having decaf or half-caff if you don’t want to drink a full cup of coffee or its close to your bedtime. You should avoid caffeine within four to six hours of your bedtime, if possible. Drinking coffee too close to your bedtime can interrupt your sleep and promote weight gain. Although coffee can act as a diuretic, it won’t cause dehydration. Drinking coffee and water together throughout the day may help you stay fuller longer and avoid the temptation of eating. In addition, it can prevent you from drinking too much coffee and disrupting your sleep. Aim to get 3 liters of water a day if you are a man and 2.2 if you are a woman. Water is important to hydrate you, but hunger may also signal thirst instead of a need for food. Coffee may stimulate thermogenesis, which is a way the body makes heat and energy from digesting food. It can result in the loss of some extra calories.   By sipping coffee in conjunction with a workout, you may help your body burn more calories and fat. Drink about 200 mg of caffeine from coffee for optimal results with a workout. This would be the equivalent of a medium Americano or small regular brewed coffee from a place like Starbucks.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте кофе для уменьшения аппетита. Дополняйте кофе водой. Пейте немного кофе перед тренировками.


One of puberty's clearest indicators is when you start getting hairs in unexpected places. For boys, it is likely to include facial hair, underarm hair, more hair on the legs and chest, and pubic hair. Girls are likely to spot hair growth on the underarms and in the pubic area. Acne is a common adolescence symptom which is caused by increased secretion of oils and grease in the pores, and bacteria infecting them. If you've got acne, you're almost certainly going through puberty. You may find that it took you a year to manage a couple of inches before, you're gaining inches in height faster than you can count them! If this is you, and you're 10-13, you've probably started puberty.  If your appetite suddenly takes a leap like it's never leapt before, that's a sign of puberty, too. It may sound gross, and it's true - the smell is hardly appealing. If you find you get stronger-smelling sweat and more of it, even when you're not actually hot, you've probably started puberty.

TL;DR in Russian:

Интенсивный рост волос. Угревая сыпь. Быстрый рост и аппетит. Повышенная потливость.


One of the advantages of clip-in extensions is that they are temporary and easy to both apply and remove at home. Removing your extensions will make washing them much easier. Be sure to always remove your clip-ins before showering or swimming. Sometimes the metal used in the clips can rust or otherwise be damaged by water. Just like your natural hair, it's best to detangle extensions before washing them. Gently run a wide-tooth comb to remove any knots. Start at the extension's clip and end at the hair tip. Hair extensions are prone to drying and may need extra care if tangling occurs. If you cannot remove the tangles with the extension dry, try wetting it with detangling spray and trying again. If you still have a stubborn knot, try wetting the hair completely and adding conditioner before combing. Fill up a clean bathroom sink or a small plastic tub with warm water. Avoid using hot water, as this can damage your extensions. However, keep in mind that too-cold water will not effectively rinse grime and shampoo from the extensions. Hold the extension by the clip and dip it into the basin. Avoid getting water on the clip. Run a wide-tooth comb through the hair to make sure it has been evenly wetted. Select a shampoo that is gentle, moisturizing, and free of sulfates. Lather a dollop of shampoo and work it into the hair from just under the clip to the tips. Try not to create tangles, but use the wide-tooth comb again if needed. Lather the extension just like you would washing your own hair. The major difference is the hair in the extension is likely to be much dryer and delicate than your natural hair.

One of the basics of social skills involves personal space. Young children may fail to understand everyone has a personal space bubble that should be respected.  Explain to kids that personal space varies from person to person, and from culture to culture. People they are closer to, like relatives and siblings, may be more open to hugging and touching than strangers. Likewise, people from other cultures may prefer more or less personal space.  Tell kids how to read body language. Teach them that people tensing up, crossing their arms, and backing away is a sign their personal space is being invaded. You should also let kids know they're entitled to their own personal space. Do not pick them up without their permission, or hug them if they do not want to be hugged. Let them know they have authority over their own bodies. Teach children to do the same in return. Have them ask permission before hugging people, sitting in people's laps, and so on. Empathy is another important basic of social skills. A young child's perspective is limited. Children may struggle to understand how to put themselves in another person's shoes. Try to make an effort to help kids understand empathy.  Encourage kids to use their imagination. Have them picture themselves in a variety of different scenarios. Look for learning opportunities throughout the day. For example, if your child tells you he or she saw someone getting picked on in school, encourage your child to imagine how they would feel in a similar scenario. When watching TV or movies, ask your kids how they think a character is feeling and why. Encourage them to imagine themselves in a similar scenario and think about how they would feel. Basic conversation skills are vital to social development. Young children are often unsure of how to converse, and may be prone to interrupting conversations or ignoring what's being said. Talk to your kids about basic conversation skills.  Talk to kids about how to enter a conversation. Explain basic greetings. Instruct children to greet...

One of the best and easiest ways to go on a date in middle school is to go to a dance together. It gives you a great reason to ask and a fun thing to do together. Most dances in middle school are right after school, too, which means you don't have to bother any parents for a ride.  If you're scared of dancing, practice. Pump up some tunes in your bedroom, or on your headphones, and work on your moves ahead of time. You don't have to be super-smooth, but you do want to avoid looking dorky. If your school doesn't have many dances, you can go to other school events together, especially football or basketball games. Go to any after-school club, or a school play together as a date. Ask your date if they'd like to see a new movie, maybe the night it comes out to make it seem like an event. You could even get the tickets ahead of time, and maybe plan to get a bite to eat, or an ice cream, after the movie, if you're allowed.  Going to the movies can be a good way to make a date a little less awkward. You don't have to talk too much, so it's a good choice if you're feeling nervous. If you have an older sibling, see if they'll drive you to the date instead of your parents. Way cooler. While it might not seem like a date, one of the absolute easiest ways that you can hang out with someone you're dating in middle school is to spend time together at lunch. Find a quiet table where you can sit together, or sit together with your friends and let everyone see how ¨disgustingly¨ cute you two are. Good fun either way. Offer to do little things for your date, like throw away their tray for them, or hold out the chair. It might seem old school, or like something your parents would do, but it's good to make someone feel special. If you don't get to see each other much at school, spend some time together afterward by walking home, if you can. It's a good way to be able to get some private time and talk without a bunch of people around.  Make sure both of your parents know you'll be doing this, and only do it if you'd normally walk...

TL;DR in Russian:

Ходите на танцы. Пойдите вместе в кино. Садитесь за один стол во время обеда. Ходите вместе домой после школы. Попросите у родителей разрешения пригласить свою пару домой.


One of the best parts of falling in love is envisioning the future you’ll share with your loved one. Do not let yourself spend even a moment imagining your shared future. Live only in the present and the moment you find yourself unable to do this, pull the plug.  Avoid scheduling out your time together. Try to plan your meet-ups day of so they’re more impromptu and less routine. If you find yourself fantasizing about your friend with benefits, you may not be in the correct emotional space to pursue a relationship like this. Telling your friend with benefits your biggest secrets and making yourself vulnerable to them can only result in you feeling closer to them. This will make it that much harder for you to maintain the distance and separation you need to make this relationship work.  Talk about fun things, like books, movies, music and work. Treat your friend with benefits like a co-worker or acquaintance that you don’t know very well. You and your partner are both human, so it might be inevitable that some jealousy emerges during your relationship. It’s very important to communicate about the feelings you’re having, otherwise, your friendship will fail.  When you or your partner start getting jealous, have a conversation about whether this relationship is still working for you. Recognize that your jealous feelings may mean you have fallen in love, and if so, get out of the relationship as soon as possible. It's easy to fall in love with someone when you see them every day, so a good way to keep from falling in love is to limit the amount of time you spend with a sexual partner. The longer you go without seeing a person, the easier it becomes to stop obsessing about them.  Giving yourself space also includes other forms of communication. Don't call them or reach out to them online. To get yourself through the separation, trying exercising or giving hugs. Exercise increases your dopamine levels and touch increases the oxytocin in your system, which will make you feel happier and calmer. A great way to keep...

One of the best parts of sleepovers is the snacks. You can provide typical sleepover snacks like chips, popcorn, cookies, ice cream, and candy. It’s also a good idea to have some healthier options like fruit or fresh veggies.  Be mindful of food restrictions because of allergies, religion, or even if your friends have braces. You should have plenty to drink at your sleepover. This can include pop, water, and things like iced tea or lemonade. You can also ask your parents about mixing alcohol-free versions of alcoholic drinks – like strawberry daiquiris. These are lots of fun to make and can make your sleepover feel extra special. Make sure that if you are going to have some fun drinks, that you also have some pop or iced tea as well. This is just in case your guests prefer these to your fancy alcohol-free drinks. If you're having your friends over around dinnertime, you'll need to feed them something more than just snacks. What you have is up to you, and you can ask your friends what they like, too. You can order pizza, or set up a taco bar in the kitchen.

TL;DR in Russian:

Убедитесь, что у вас достаточно закусок. Попробуйте новые напитки. Не забывайте об основном блюде.


One of the best parts of traveling is being in places where there are lots of people to look at. Whenever you're bored in a busy place )train station, airport, bus depot, cafe, and so on) look around you at the people you're sharing the space with. Make up stories about the people you see. That woman wearing the zebra print leggings? She's an international spy on her way to a meeting with her superior. She's wearing the garish clothes to draw attention away from her face. . Listen to the conversations going on around you. Try to find the strangest conversations to listen in on and make sure that the people don't notice you spying on them. Act like you're reading a book or magazine, instead.  Write down what you hear and turn it into a short story or a poem. If you're traveling with another person, turn it into a game. See who can overhear the weirdest conversation or sentence. When you're traveling you can be anyone you want to be. Come up with a mildly plausible persona and stick to it while you're on the airplane, at the bus depot, waiting for the train, etc. See if you can get people to believe your persona. Sometimes this is the only way to keep yourself amused, whether you're a child or an adult. You can do the usual "I Spy" games, which are especially good for kids in the car. You can also make up your own games, depending on where you are. Make up a points system for annoying people. This can help if you're stranded somewhere during the holiday rush season. There are always intensely irritating people and turning their annoying habits into a game can make them more bearable. For example, you get +10 points when that guy cuts you off in line or +5 for the child who screams through the entire plane ride. See what everyone else is up to and relay your odd traveling experiences to them. You can brainstorm ideas for ways of filling your time. You'll have someone to talk to and you'll get to pass the time.

TL;DR in Russian:

Наблюдайте за людьми. Подслушивайте. Придумайте новую личность. Придумывайте игры. Позвоните другу или напишите сообщение.


One of the best reasons for your dog to wear a collar is that you need a collar in order for him to wear identification tags. I.D. tags are essential for your pet's safety. If your pet is lost or becomes separated from you, his tag's will help someone return him to your home.  Your dog's tags should include his name and a phone number for you or your veterinarian's office. Make sure your dog is wearing his collar and tags anytime he leaves the house. Even if your dog is well-behaved, the unexpected can happen when you are out for a walk. For your dog's safety, and the safety of others, you should also walk your dog with a collar and leash. This way you can control your dog. You don't want him to suddenly dash into traffic or get into an argument with another dog. If your dog has trouble walking on a leash, you may want to consider a training program. Obedience will make walks more enjoyable for both you and your dog. Remember that a collar should be both comfortable and effective. Ask your vet for recommendations about what kind of collar will work best for your dog. Your dog's safety and health are the most important factors to consider when making a collar.

TL;DR in Russian:

Укажите на ошейнике важную информацию. Соблюдайте правила безопасности. Всегда думайте о потребностях собаки.


One of the best things about a drop spindle is that it is relatively easy to make and to use. If you decide to go this route, then you can make your own drop spindle without much cost. Gather the materials listed below.   A one-foot long wooden dowel. Although size isn't that important, a recommended diameter size is 3/8 of an inch. This will act as the main shaft for the spindle. A hook, or wire that can be bent into a hook. You'll make sure to hook your yarn through here. Two heavy CDs to act as the whorl. Rubber grommets that match the diameter of your dowel. You can get these at any farm store or auto part store. So if the diameter of your dowel is 3/8 of an inch, the inside hole (bore diameter) should be 3/8 of an inch, the panel hole should be 5/8 of an inch to match the hole in the CDs, and the outside diameter should be about 7/8 of an inch. Get a serrated knife, or small saw and scissors to cut the dowel. To do this you'll need to make a hole in the center of the dowel with a pushpin. Screw the cup hook into the hole so that it will stay in place. You want the grommet to fit snugly in the center of the CDs. This can be a little frustrating since it's a tight fit, but once you've pulled the edges of the grommet up, it should be good to go. As long as you've judged the sizes correctly you should be finished making your drop spindle. If it doesn't quite fit, wrap the dowel with electrical tape until the dowel and CDs slip on and fit tightly. For a beginning spinner, one piece of roving is going to be too big. Break that piece down into sections that are about 12 inches (30.5 cm) long. Carefully split your roving down the middle to form two strips instead of one. This will make spinning easier if you're just beginning. Your leader is a piece of yarn about 18 inches (45.7 cm) long that's tied onto the spindle shaft right above the whorl (the CDs). Put the yarn over the whorl and loop it around the shaft underneath. Put it back over the whorl and secure the end to the hook. Letting the spindle hang beneath...

One of the best things about hot chocolate pancakes is the variety of ways you can garnish them with different sauces and toppings, so you can even turn basic pancakes into a fun breakfast bar event. In a saucepan or double boiler over low heat, mix the chocolate chips and light cream using a whisk. Shut off the stove and allow the fudge sauce to cool until lukewarm. Drizzle the sauce over each pancake or on top of a stack. Combine the maple syrup and hot chocolate powder in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly. Simmer for five minutes, until the sauce is hot and thick. Drizzle the sauce over each pancake or on top of a stack. Hot chocolate is often served with marshmallows, so why not serve hot chocolate pancakes with marshmallows, too? For a gooier treat, roast or melt the marshmallows on the pancakes slightly with a cooking torch, first. Alternatively, try spreading marshmallow crème onto the pancakes. Peppermint and chocolate are a wonderful combination for the holidays. To make a simple peppermint chocolate sauce, add 1⁄4 teaspoon (1.2 ml) of peppermint extract to the chocolate fudge or hot chocolate sauce. Top each pancake with a drizzle of peppermint chocolate sauce and a sprinkle of crushed peppermint candies. If you're making hot chocolate pancakes for a dessert, or offering up a pancake buffet, the sky is the limit on your toppings. Think of the kinds of things you might eat with an ice cream sundae.  Consider topping the pancakes with chocolate syrup instead of the fudge sauce. A layer of chocolate-hazlenut spread goes great with these pancakes. Add whipped cream and a layer of chocolate sprinkles. Whip up a caramel sauce or even a salted caramel sauce and drizzle that on top. Try some marshmallow and miniature chocolate chips to emulate a s'more.  Garnish the hot chocolate pancakes with chocolate flakes or curls for a sweeter flavor.

One of the best things you can do after a breakup in order to move on is to make time for the people that are important to you. Reconnecting with people that you care about can provide you with support and encouragement. They can also help you deal with the fact that your ex seems fins after the breakup.

One of the best things you can do if you are prone to fainting is to learn to recognize the signs. Keep a notebook or log of your own symptoms if you are prone to fainting. If you can tell in advance that you are about to faint, you can take the proper safety precautions and potentially avoid a serious injury. Signs that you may be about to faint include:  Nausea, dizziness or lightheadedness Seeing white or black spots or experiencing blurry or tunnel vision Feeling very hot or sweaty Having an upset stomach Raise your legs to encourage blood flow to the brain.  If it's not possible to lie on the ground, sit down and put your head between your knees. Rest for about 10-15 minutes. Take deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. This can also have a calming effect. Calling for help is a good idea because it alerts other people to your situation. Another person can then catch you if you fall, place you in the recovery position, and call a doctor if necessary. If you have recognized that you are about to faint, it's important that you remove yourself from any potential dangers and take some steps to minimize the severity of the faint. For example, try to position your body such that you fall out of the path of sharp objects. In some cases, it is possible to prevent a potential fainting spell by taking the proper precautions and avoiding possible triggers. Some preventative steps include:   Staying hydrated and eating regularly: It is essential to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and other fluids, especially on hot days. Eating regular, healthy meals can help ameliorate feelings of dizziness and weakness associated with hunger.  Avoiding stressful situations: For some people, fainting is brought on by stressful, upsetting or anxiety-producing situations. Thus, it is important to stay calm by avoiding these kinds of situations as much as possible.  Avoiding drugs, alcohol and cigarettes: These items are full of toxins that are generally unhealthy and can induce fainting in some people. ...

One of the best things you can do to help stop pollution is to stop using your car for short trips. If the weather is nice and you don’t have too far to go, consider walking or riding your bike. You will help reduce air pollution and you will get some exercise and fresh air in the process. Riding the bus, train, or subway is another great way to avoid using your personal vehicle and reduce carbon emissions. If you have access to good public transportation where you live, take advantage of it. Since you won’t have to worry about keeping your eyes on the road, you can take advantage of the time to read, catch up on news, or just relax. Making lots of little trips over the course of a few days contributes more pollution to the environment every time you hop in your car. Instead of running your errands over the course of a few days, try to consolidate them into one round trip. Consolidating your trips into one long trip will also save you money since starting your car when the engine is cold consumes 20% more fuel than driving your car. Long commutes to school or work are just part of life for many people. If walking and public transportation are not good options for you, consider joining a carpool to your school or place of work. By taking turns driving and riding with others, you will reduce carbon emission and you will also save on gas money each week. Carpooling is also a great way to develop friendships with your coworkers and reduce the stress of your commute. In addition to finding ways to use your car less, keeping your car in good condition can also help reduce carbon emissions. As an added bonus, keeping your car in good condition will also help avoid more major problems with your vehicle. Get regular maintenance on your car to keep it running well.  Get an oil change every three months or 3,000 miles. Keep tires inflated according to your vehicle’s recommendations. Get your air, oil, and fuel filters changed according to your vehicle’s recommendations. Unsafe driving habits also contribute to...

One of the best things you can do to help your loved one is to stay calm. A person with Histrionic Personality Disorder thrives on chaos and drama. If they get dramatic or have a fit, reacting to them in a negative way will play into what they want and encourage the behavior. Instead, remain calm during these fits.  By not responding to your loved one’s dramatic actions, you help them realize that they will not get the attention they want by acting out. You may need to engage in deep breathing exercises or step away from your loved one for a few moments to collect yourself. Your loved one may engage in dramatic, attention-seeking behavior on a regular basis. One of the best ways to deal with this is to ignore it. Refrain from engaging with the behavior or reinforcing the negative behavior with attention. Your loved one has a chemical imbalance, which means they may not be able to help their behavior. Instead of getting into an argument or encouraging behavior, just ignore it and let it pass. People with HPD form intimate attachments very easily, which means they may cross physical boundaries. They may not be able to understand or respect the boundaries you have set for yourself. You may find your loved one hugs you, touches you, or invades your space more than you wish. Your loved one may interpret your actions as threatening or inappropriate. To help with this, keep physical distance between you and them.  For example, you may want to sit in a chair if your loved one is on the couch, or sit on the other end of the couch. When standing, keep a few feet between you and your loved ones. You should be mindful not to do anything that might be suggestive or interpreted as inappropriate. You don’t want your loved one to misinterpret what you are doing. Always be mindful of your boundaries. One of the main symptoms of HPD is wearing provocative clothing to get attention. This type of attire is not suitable for all situations, such as work. You can help your loved one by suggesting they dress differently for certain...

One of the best treatments for a sun rash is a cold compress soaked in a special mixture. There are many different substances you can use to help your skin. Each has benefits, so you can see which one works best for you. You may have a sensitivity to some of the herbs listed, so try them out on a small patch of skin before you apply them to your rash. These soaks include:  Distilled or tap water, which can be boiled and then cooled before application. Diluted chamomile and green tea, which has healing properties. Make 2–3 normal cups of tea, dilute it with equal amounts of water, and let it cool. Milk, which should be straight from the fridge so it's as cold as possible. Undiluted aloe vera juice, which should be chilled. Coconut milk, which should be cooled in the refrigerator.  Equal parts of apple cider vinegar and cold water. Baking soda. Mix 1 tablespoon (14.4 g) of baking soda with 1 cup (240 ml) of chilled water. Turmeric and buttermilk. Mix 1 cup (240 ml) of buttermilk and 1 tablespoon (9.5 g) of turmeric, which contains antioxidants that can promote healing and decrease itching. Once you decide on your soak, you need to apply the compress. Take an unbleached, clean white washcloth and soak it in your chosen mixture. Once it is saturated, wring the mixture out a little so it isn't dripping everywhere. Leave enough in so your face will get wet. Place the cloth on the affected area. You can leave the cold compress on your skin for 30 to 60 minutes. You can also use this method as many time as a day as necessary, so you can repeat immediately or whenever the itching and irritation return to your rash.

One of the best ways for teenagers to make money without spending anything and help out in the community is babysitting. If you’re responsible and you like children, consider giving it a try!  Ask family friends who have young children if they need any help with childcare and start developing a client base.  You can start by getting CPR certified and taking some basic first aid classes in order to make your new employers feel more confident leaving their kids with you.  Community centers, hospitals, and local Red Cross chapters often offer these courses for free or at discounted rates.  If you don’t have any prior experience taking care of children and your new clients are nervous about this deficiency, ask them if you could have a probation period. The first few times you babysit, you can do so when a parent is home and available to supervise. Many people are too busy for basic yard maintenance, but they don’t want their homes to look unkempt or neglected.  These people are often more than willing to pay someone to mow the lawn, rake leaves, or trim hedges, especially if they can hire a neighborhood teen or family friend.  Start by asking your friends and family if they need help, and, if you don’t get enough business, post some signs around the neighborhood offering your services.  In the winter, you can shovel driveways and sidewalks for people in your neighborhood. You can also consider teaming up with friends or family members to do numerous landscaping and maintenance tasks. You’ll have to split the proceeds, but you’ll also get done more quickly. Since you're a part of the family, you should already be pitching in to the keep the household in shape, but you can ask your parents if you can take on additional responsibilities for a reasonable fee. After all, chances are that your parents already have a lot of daily tasks and worries, so they would appreciate the help. You can negotiate your compensation by asking for half of what a professional cleaner would charge. You could also do other people's...

One of the best ways for you to move on from your ex is to admit the relationship is over. Although you may be holding onto the hope that you and he will get back together, you need to let that hope fade. The relationship is over and he is your ex, not your boyfriend. Understanding this will help you move on and focus more on your current boyfriend.   Avoid still thinking of your ex as your boyfriend. He's not. Try to avoid thinking of him at all. Write in your journal or talk with a friend about the relationship ending. Be sure to refer to the relationship in the past tense to emphasis that it is over and include the reasons you broke up. Every time you think about him, also think about why you are glad you aren't together anymore.  Make a list of reasons you're glad if you need to. Sometimes, when we love someone, we overlook or 'forget' the reasons why they are not a good match for us. We remember the good things about the person, but skip over the bad. Thinking honestly about why you broke up can give perspective on the situation and help you accept that your new boyfriend might be better for you right now.   Did your ex do something wrong like lie to you or cheat on you? Were you two not compatible or did you grow apart? Did he leave you for someone else or simply break up with you for no reason? Did you do something that caused the relationship to end? Write a letter to yourself listing all of the reasons why your ex wasn't right for you. Refer to it as often as necessary. If you are not invested in your current relationship, and you are not over your ex, you may want to evaluate if you are ready to date right now. It might be best to have some alone time to process your feelings before trying to force yourself to feel a certain way for your current boyfriend.  Ask yourself: Am I dating him because I really like him or for some other reason? Am I trying to get revenge against my ex or make him jealous? Do I just like the idea of being with someone and I don't want to be single? Consider that, if you...

TL;DR in Russian:

One of the best ways of ensuring that your dog will not engage in destructive or otherwise poor behavior when she is by herself is to assign her appropriate tasks to do while you are away. Doing so will ensure that your dog is fulfilling her natural desire to remain active while at the same time engaging in healthy, non-destructive activities. A great way to simulate an environment in which your dog can hunt for food is by making use of food puzzle toys. These are containers that hold food and treats but do not provide your dog easy access to their food. Working for her food in this manner will fulfill her innate desire to hunt for food, simulating an environment similar to what wild dogs experience when scavenging for food.  Food puzzle toys make your dog work for food in ways that are healthy for your dog because of the skills (e.g. pawing, nibbling, rolling) required to access the food. In addition, these toys also have a calming effect on your dog by encouraging her to engage in chewing and licking.  Allow your dog time to learn to play with food puzzle toys. Gradually increase the amount of effort required to access the food from her food puzzle toys. If your dog is used to being served food in a bowl, she will take some time to learn to enjoy playing with food puzzle toys. Be patient with her as she learns this skill and do not force her to do too much too soon.  For detailed instructions on how to stuff a particular brand of food puzzle toy known as a KONG food puzzle, visit this website. Make your dog hunt for her meals around the house by hiding treats and food puzzle toys around the house. The ASPCA suggests that you can hide 'one of your dog's meals right before you leave her home alone, and she'll have great fun hunting her chow while you're away.' You can vary this activity by doing the same in your yard so that your dog can hunt for food both inside the house and outside in the yard. Most dogs love playing the game of looking for pieces of kibble in the grass. All dogs have an innate need to...

One of the best ways to avoid become anxious during a long wait, is to do something else at the same time to occupy you. One of the most frustrating aspects of waiting can be the sense that you are losing valuable time, so you can tackle this by filling this time with another activity to help the time pass more quickly. This won't always be practical, depending on the situation, but here are some examples to keep in mind:  If you are being kept on-hold on the phone, use the time to answer some emails. If you are waiting for an appointment, read a book or newspaper, or play a game on your phone. If you are stuck in traffic, don't sit there and stew, put on some music, an audiobook, or a language tape and try to make the most of it. Finding ways to distract yourself is a tried and tested way of keeping impatience at bay and helping time pass. Research has suggested, however, that this technique can backfire if you are trying very hard to consciously distract yourself from the wait. Trying to force yourself not to feel anxious can prompt even greater anxiety.  Accept that you will have to wait and there is nothing you can do about it. Take a minute to relax before you find something that will occupy you for a while. There is evidence which suggests that waiting for something with other people can help the time pass quicker. For this to work, it's important that the people are engaging with each other, talking about what they are waiting for and sharing their excitement in a positive way. For example, a group of fans waiting to get a newly released video game might have a fun time in the queue together.  Being stuck in a long silent queue will not work in the same way. Equally, being stuck in a waiting room with people who are angry and impatient will not make the time go faster. Look for a more positive engagement with other people. If you have a very long wait for something, it can help to break it up into smaller chunks. Identifying short term goals and focussing on achieving these rather than the final end...

TL;DR in Russian:

One of the best ways to be a good boy is to listen to your teachers. You should respect them and recognize that they’re just people, too, and that it’s rude and unkind to ignore them, be mean to them, or question their authority. Make an effort to do as your teachers say and not to cause problems in the classroom. Not only will listening to your teachers make them happier, but it will make your parents happier, too. If you really struggle with listening to your teachers or think they are being completely unreasonable, then you should be as nice as you can to them and talk to your parents to discuss next steps. You don’t need to get perfect grades to do well in school. However, you should make an effort to do as well as you can, to study for your exams, to do your homework, and to generally be a dedicated student. When you need help, come to your teachers or your parents for help, and make an effort to always improve. Good boys tend to do well in school, because they know that success in the classroom is important.  Make an effort to study for your exams well in advance so you get the best results.  What’s most important is that you respect the idea of education and come in to school on time and are happy to be there. If you want to be a good boy, then you have to be nice to your classmates, whether you’re with your lab partner or talking to some kids on the bus to school. Treating other people with kindness and respect is one major way to be a good boy. Don’t put down students who don’t do as well in school as you or make fun of people for their clothes or their general appearance. Work to truly treat others as you’d like to be treated and you’ll be on your way to being a good boy.  You may think that putting down other people will make you look better, but really, the best thing you can is to be friendly to everybody and most especially those who are being bullied by other students.  In addition to feeling great about yourself, people like you and feel comfortable around you. If someone in class doesn’t know...

TL;DR in Russian:

Слушайтесь учителей. Хорошо учитесь. Будьте добры к своим одноклассникам. Принимайте участие в уроке. Слушайтесь правил. Не умничайте. Будьте честным. Будьте организованным человеком.


One of the best ways to calm down if you’re already feeling stressed is to stop interacting with the stressor, if possible. Sometimes, even taking a few seconds before you head back into the situation can be enough to help you cool down.  Try counting to ten, or taking 3-5 deep breaths before you reply in a heated conversation or situation. Take a break. For example, if an argument with your spouse is getting heated, stop and excuse yourself for a moment by saying something like, “I’m feeling a little overwhelmed right now. I need to take a 15-minute break before we continue discussing this.” Go to a different place, focus on breathing deeply, and recite a calming mantra, such as “I can handle this calmly. I can do this.” When we’re stressed, sometimes our bodies interpret the stress as an attack and kick us into “fight or flight mode.” This stimulates the release of hormones like adrenaline, which constrict your blood vessels, make your breathing rapid and shallow, and boost your heart rate. Over time, this panic response can become a habit for your brain in what’s known as “automatic reactivity.”  Slowing down and focusing on the individual physical responses you’re experiencing can help you learn to identify what it feels like when you’re stressed to the max. Studies also show that this conscious process of noticing what’s going on in your body can help retrain your brain’s automatic habits.  Notice each thing that is going on in your body but try to avoid judging it. For example, if you’re worried about doing well on a final exam that’s in just a few minutes, you might notice to yourself, “My face feels hot and flushed. My heart is beating very fast. My palms feel sweaty. I feel nauseated.” Try to keep your noticing these things as neutral as possible. When your body enters “fight or flight mode,” your sympathetic nervous system can seriously mess with your breathing. You may find it difficult to breathe when you’re stressed, but it’s important to focus on taking some long, even breaths. This will restore...

TL;DR in Russian:

Прекратите делать то, чем вы заняты. Сосредоточьтесь на своих ощущениях. Сделайте пару глубоких вдохов. Попробуйте расслабить мышцы. Займитесь спортом


One of the best ways to clear up acne fast is by regularly washing your skin. Choose an over-the-counter skin wash that's low in oils and chemicals and wash your skin at least twice a day.  Your doctor may recommend using a cleanser with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Wash your skin once in the morning and once before bed. When you dry your face, pat dry with a clean, dry towel. Do not use a towel that's been sitting out in the bathroom as you want to keep bacteria away from your skin.  Always wash your skin after working out. If any sweat or dirt is left on your face after a hard workout, it can clog pores and cause acne. Make sure you wash your face after a workout. While there is conflicting evidence on the effects of diet on acne, you can try to change your diet for a week or two and see if it makes a difference. Dairy foods, chocolate, and foods containing a lot of sugar seem to increase the likelihood of breakouts.  Some research indicates dairy, skim milk in particular, increases the likelihood of acne breakouts. You should try cutting back on dairy for a week or two and see if you notice any changes in your skin.  While further studies are needed to verify, some research does show chocolate can cause breakouts. High sugar food especially can cause breakouts, so it might be a good idea to avoid sweets in general in addition to chocolate. Sun can damage skin and some acne medications can make you more susceptible to sunburns. Always apply a layer of sunscreen to your face before going outdoors. Remember, even if it's cold out, if the sun's shining, it could cause burns. Aim for a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher. If you're looking to cure a breakout fast, eliminate any potential skin irritants until your acne is gone.  Certain makeups and cover-ups can clog pores. While they may not cause a breakout in and of themselves, using makeup during a breakout can prolong its duration. It's a good idea to go without makeup until acne is eliminated, but another option is to talk to your doctor or skin care...

Постоянно умывайте вашу кожу. Подумайте над изменением своего рациона. Используйте солнцезащитный крем. Устраните потенциальные раздражители.


One of the best ways to create a setting or atmosphere is to focus on the five senses: sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. Descriptions of sensory details can also create backstory for your character. For example, rather than tell the reader your character had cereal for breakfast, you can have the character taste the remnants of cereal on his/her tongue. Or she can smell the cereal she spilled on his/her hands.  Think what your main character might see in a certain setting. For example, if your character lives in a home much like yours in a small town, you may describe his/her bedroom or his/her walk to school. If you are using a specific historical setting, like 70s California, you may describe your character standing on a street corner and looking at the unique architecture or the cars that drive by. Consider what your main character might hear in a certain setting. Your sleuth may listen to the birds chirping and the sprinklers on the lawns on the way to school. Or your detective may hear the roaring of cars or the crashing of ocean waves. Describe what your main character might smell in a certain setting. Your main character might wake up to the smell of coffee being made in the kitchen by his/her parents. Or your detective may be hit with the smell of the city: rotting garbage and body odor. Describe what your character might feel. This could be a light breeze, a sharp pain, a sudden jolt, or a shiver down his/her spine. Focus on how your character’s body might react to a feeling. Think about what your character might taste. Your main character may still taste the cereal she had for breakfast in his/her mouth, or the drink from the night before. Skip long paragraphs of description of setting or character, especially in the early pages. You want to hook your reader by starting right in the action, as your main character is moving and thinking.  Think about being concise with your language and description. Most readers continue reading a good mystery because they are invested in the main character and...

TL;DR in Russian:

One of the best ways to deal with rejection is to find your tribe. Identify others who share your interests, values, and beliefs and forge relationships with these people. When you do this, you will feel more confident about yourself and your story. Connect with others by joining clubs and organizations in your local community and online. Just because one person in your family rejected you, doesn’t mean everyone will. Get in touch with your other parent (unless they rejected you, also), siblings, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. If these people are willing to support you, let them. As hard as it is to believe, there are others who have gone through similar experiences as yours. Search online or in your local area for support groups that help you connect with these people. You may find a new support system and an outlet for coping by meeting with others who’ve gone through what you have. For instance, if your parent rejected you because of your sexual orientation, you might search for a support group for youths who recently  came out of the closet. There are a range of negative effects from parental rejection, such as anger, insecurity, or depression. In the weeks, months, and years that follow, you may need help coming to terms with the rejection and owning your story. A professional mental health therapist can help you do this.  Ask your family doctor or the members of your support group for suggestions of therapists in your area. If you are a student, you might also talk to your school counselor.

TL;DR in Russian:

Окружите себя единомышленниками. Обратитесь к другим членам семьи. Присоединитесь к группе психологической поддержки. Обратитесь к психологу.


One of the best ways to deal with your teen is to work on effective communication. This is especially true when they become sexually active. It's important for the two of you to have productive conversations. Asking good questions is a big part of that.  If you are unsure if your teen is sexually active, you can ask. Try saying, "Jenny, has your relationship with Bob progressed? Are you having sex?" Try not to spring the subject on your teen. Depending on the individual, many teens feel embarrassed when asked about sex. Instead, say, "I wanted to talk to you about something important. Do you have a minute?" If you know for sure that your teen is having sex, there are a lot of questions you should ask. One of the most important is, "Are you practicing safe sex?" You can also ask, "Do you need anything from me?" When talking to your teen about sex, it is best to be direct. This indicates that you are willing to have an open and honest conversation. It lets your teen know that it is important to speak clearly about this topic.  Try saying, "I'm aware that you and Stacy are having sex. I need to know that you are using some form of birth control." You can also directly let your teen know that you are there to be supportive. You can say, "If you need to talk at any time, I am here." Clearly state the facts and your opinions about sex. For example, make it clear that oral sex is a form of sex, too. Try to put your emotions and personal feelings aside when you are discussing sex with your teen. You have a right to your beliefs and values, but you also want your teen to know it's safe to talk  to you. Make it clear that you are willing to listen objectively.  You can say, "I might not personally agree with your decisions to become sexually active, but I love you and support you." Be a good listener. Indicate through your words and body language that you are open to hearing what your teen has to say. Nod your head and maintain eye contact. You can also offer statements that show you are listening, such as, "That's...

One of the best ways to decide on the perfect height of your pendant light is to get someone else to lower or raise the light while you stand a distance away to see how it all looks. This will allow you to make sure the lamp is not blocking your view, knocking into your head, or interfering in any way with your routine.

TL;DR in Russian:

Попросите другого человека помочь вам решить с высотой. Походите по комнате или сядьте за стол, пока ваш помощник будет держать лампу на высоте.


One of the best ways to do this is to look at the color of the berries. Depending on where your berries grow, their colors can range from light, but vibrant, red to a very dark crimson color. They should also be firm to the touch. These berries are the ones that make it into the fresh produce section of your grocery store. They are best used for cooking and baking. While this may sound strange, a great way to sort the best berries from the not as great ones is to bounce them. Quality berries are firm and springy--meaning they bounce off the ground nicely. They bounce because of the air bubbles inside the berries. Don’t throw them as hard as you can at the floor, but a simple drop against a flat surface should be enough to tell you whether or not your berries have the bounce. You can either use the fresh ones in a recipe, or freeze them for later use. You might also consider  drying some of the cranberries for a delicious snack. Fresh, bouncy cranberries will last for up to two months in the refrigerator.

TL;DR in Russian:

One of the best ways to do this is to start by making friends. It is always said that making friends is the surest way to finding love, and that’s because it’s true; it’s a great way to build a mutual relationship based on caring and trust. When you’re making friends, keep these tips in mind:  Don’t be judgmental. This is probably the most important rule when it comes to the beginnings of friendship and love. If you can’t get past someone’s dorky haircut, you’ll never know how well you would have gotten along with that person. The attraction doesn’t always have to be there the first time you meet someone. Be generous with your time. Making friends requires a bit of commitment. If you’re serious about finding love, get serious about spending time with people. Accept invitations to parties, sporting events, and concerts. If you aren’t much of a joiner, ask a few people out for lunch or coffee. The point is to create a lot of situations that give you the chance to get to know people - and it’s hard to do that from home. This doesn’t mean you need to shout to the rooftops that you’re on a quest for love, but take measures to make sure people know you’re available and willing to take things further if the opportunity arises.  Consider your appearance. When you’re looking for love, dress like the best version of yourself. Don’t force yourself into a style or look that makes you feel uncomfortable. Instead, project your confidence and uniqueness with clean, well-styled clothes and a pleasant expression on your face. The addition of a little perfume or cologne also helps to send out the right kind of signal.  Be an attentive and encouraging listener. If you find someone interesting, ask a lot of questions. Next time you see that person, follow up by recalling something he or she said and mentioning it at the beginning of the conversation. Show people you care about them.  Be honest and sincere. In other words, be yourself. Willingness to present yourself to the world as you are is an act of courage, and that’s...

TL;DR in Russian:

One of the best ways to do this is to think about films or movie characters that you love and enjoyed watching on screen. Do you love a particular genre, such as romantic comedies, action films, horror? Consider writing a movie script in a genre you enjoy. It’s likely you know the most about a genre you are interested in and your passion will come through in your writing.  You can also think about a childhood memory that has always haunted you as an adult or an adult experience you can’t stop thinking about. You may be interested in a specific time period, such as 50s downtown New York, or 70s California, and begin to generate story ideas that have characters interacting in a specific time period or setting. Write about feelings and types of people you know and are passionate about. This will help you convey your story to others. Create a character's storyline that you feel you can write about for a total of about 300 pages and  who will hold your and your audience's attention. Think about people you know, people you read about in newspapers, or people who catch your eye on the street or in the supermarket. Your hero or heroine may be tied to a theme, such as war, loneliness, or love. Or your hero or heroine may be a reaction against the stereotypes of a genre or theme, such as a lonely, lovesick witch or a caring, gentle gangster.  Create a character profile for your main character. Character profiles are questionnaire style writing prompts that help writers get to know their characters better.  The details you write in a character profile won’t all appear in your film script. But knowing as much as possible about your character will help you think of them as a real person. You can ask yourself: “What would my main character do in this scene? What would my main character say or respond to this?” And feel confident you have the answers that will move your script forward. A log line is a one-sentence summary of your story. They are usually used as a marketing tool, such as when a studio executive asks you to...

One of the best ways to earn your guinea pig's trust is by feeding him healthy foods. In addition to hay and pellets, hand-feed veggies, and fruits on occasion as well. Doing this at regular intervals will cause your guinea pig to associate you and your scent with his favorite things to eat. Fruit and sweeter vegetables are an ideal snack to give your guinea pig. Try feeding him a slice of banana or apple once a day, or a piece of bell pepper. Guinea pigs have different food preferences, just like people. Try different types of fruit and vegetables until you find the one that seems to make your pet the happiest. All should be fed by hand. Doing this at regular intervals will cause your guinea pig to associate you with food and care. You'll want to give your guinea pig plenty of attention, which means you should be very comfortable holding him. You'll want to give your guinea pig plenty of attention, which means you should be very comfortable holding him. A supportive but gentle hold is best. Pick him up with one hand under his belly, and one supporting his bottom. Hold him close to your body, especially when moving around. The key to a successful hold is to make sure your guinea pig feels secure. He will have a harder time trusting you if he is afraid of falling. Hold him securely, but loosely enough that he is still comfortable. This includes supporting his rump to get rid of that 'falling' feeling. It's not enough simply to be in the same room with your guinea pig while they are in their cage. To effectively bond with your guinea pig, make sure to spend time with them by removing them from their confined area. Take some time each day to pay attention to your guinea pig while they have the freedom to move around.  Guinea pigs love to play hide and seek. When you are playing with your pig out of the cage, place several empty paper sacks around the room. Place treats in some of them, and watch your pet have fun exploring!  Make sure to keep a close eye on your pet when they're on the move. They could easily...

One of the best ways to ensure you understand the basic grammatical elements of a language is by seeking the help of someone who’s qualified to teach you. Many community colleges offer language courses, or you can ask around at your local high school or college to see if any English students want to make some extra money tutoring you. Grammar and style guides come in two forms: descriptive guides that describe how people do speak, and prescriptive guides that tell people how they should speak. But language changes and evolves, and the rules of English aren’t always set in stone. There are many style guides that recommend different ways of approaching grammar, and it’s a good idea to read several of them. This will provide an idea of the different ways to approach spelling (such as American versus British), syntax, and style, give you a better idea of the fundamentals of grammar, and show you where the language is adaptable and where it’s inflexible. Some of the most widely used style guides are:  The Chicago Manual of Style, which is often used for social science and historical journals. The Modern Language Association (MLA) style, which is often used in the humanities, in language studies, and in cultural studies. The Associated Press (AP) style, which is used by most news and media outlets. The American Psychological Association (APA) style, which is often used for natural and life sciences, academic journals, and social sciences. Along with the resources available at libraries, the Internet is full of reliable grammar games, lessons, exercises, quizzes, and tips. Many universities will also offer resources about grammar, spelling, syntax, and common errors.  Purdue OWL is an excellent resource that has lessons and different style guide recommendations.  You can also subscribe to daily grammar emails and blogs from people like Grammar Girl.

Посещайте групповые занятия или занимайтесь с репетитором. Читайте руководства по стилю и учебники грамматики. Ищите ресурсы в Интернете.


One of the best ways to figure out if you like a certain guy or girl is to spend time with them alone. If the conversation flows naturally, they make you laugh, and you leave the date feeling satisfied and happy, it’s a pretty clear sign that you like them.  If you don’t feel comfortable with them or they seem distant during your date, it might be a sign that there isn’t a connection between the two of you. Don’t feel bad if you want to end things after a bad date. In the long run, you’re saving time and effort for the both of you. If you jump on your phone when they text you and never let their calls go to voicemail, it’s a good sign that you’re really into them. No matter how busy your day is, you should want to send them a message just to let them know you’re thinking of them! If they text you and you often don’t have any desire to respond or have nothing to say, you might just see them as a friend. If you constantly see things that make you think of them, it’s a good sign that you actually like them. Pay attention to how many times throughout the day you tell them about something you think they'd like, and how many times you tell your friends and family a funny story or fact about them. If you don't really think of them throughout the day, you might just be spending time with them when you're feeling lonely. Going out with your friends or bonding with your family will surround you with people who you like and have a good time with. If you find yourself wishing that they were there, or wanting to text them to give them an update on the day, it’s a good sign that you actually like them. If you don’t really think about them when you’re with other people, ask yourself why. You might’ve just been too busy to think about them, or you might just be interested in them because you don’t want to be alone. Try to be honest with yourself about your feelings. Having someone who will celebrate the good things and help you figure out the bad things is an important part of a relationship. If something major happens in...
