Setting goals is an important skill that many successful people employ to help jump start their motivation. Setting a goal better enables you to focus on the specifics of completing a task, while also helping you to organize all the tools you will need to accomplish your goal. One of the best parts of successful goal setting and completion is feeling increased confidence and self-efficacy once you have accomplished your goal. Setting goals is a great way to give your life plan a boost. It allows you to make your goals or steps specific, measurable, assignable, realistic, and time bound (SMART). It is important to use SMART goal planning in order to understand how close or far you are to obtaining a certain goal.  If your goal is to work toward building a healthier life, don’t just say I will eat more vegetables. Turn it into a SMART goal by saying I will eat two servings of vegetables per day for 30 days starting on Monday. This makes the goal specific so you have a guideline to follow. It is also measurable because you know what you are trying to aim for, it’s realistically achievable, and you have a time frame. There are a few ways you can make your goals concrete and achievable. To begin with, write the goal down. This makes the goal more real than if it’s just in your head. Make sure to make it specific. If you follow the SMART format, you should already have specific goals.  Formulate your goals with positive language. If you want to lose weight, say something like, “Eat healthier and lose five pounds,” instead of, “Stop eating junk and being fat.” Order your goals by their priority level. If you have multiple goals, there’s no way you can do everything at once. Decide what is attainable now, what can wait, and what may take longer. You should keep goals small enough that you can achieve them within a reasonable time period instead of years down the road. If you have large goals, break them into smaller goals so you achieve goals along the way and feel accomplished.


Поймите, насколько важно создать правильную атмосферу или химическое притяжение. Покажите девушке, что вас что-то связывает. Прибегните к хитростям. Поговорите о чем-то, что вам обоим нравится. Проведите время вместе.

What is chemistry? It is the term used to indicate that there is a spark, or attraction, between two people. Chemistry is important because it is what makes romantic relationships different from friendships. If you are interested in a girl, you'll want to build some chemistry so that you can move towards getting that first kiss. Don't worry if you don't immediately have chemistry. Some couples can build it over time. But if it hasn't developed after several dates, you might want to try moving things forward. You can do this by demonstrating more affection, or having a frank talk about how you feel the relationship is going. Females actually respond chemically to men and how they behave. Girls will have a positive physical reaction when your behavior shows that you are good at bonding with other people. For example, let her see you interacting with your friends. At a party, laugh and tell jokes with your buds. Just make sure to do this naturally--don't look fake. You can also demonstrate bonding with your romantic interest. Try doing something nice, but simple, for her. When she enters the party, for instance, offer to grab her a drink. Doing something exhilarating causes your face to flush and your heart rate to spike--the same reactions a person has when feeling physically aroused. Take your girl on a date and do something that will get the adrenaline flowing. One idea is to see a scary movie. She will probably naturally lean in to you, or grab your hand during especially creepy scenes. This type of touching will open the door for a kiss later. You could also do something adventurous. If there is an amusement park nearby, take her out to ride a roller coaster. This will definitely get your hearts racing! Feeling pleasure increases the desire for affection. So try setting a cheerful tone on your date. Ask her about subjects that should be happy for her. For example, if she is planning to go on vacation sometime soon, ask her to tell you about her plans. Another idea is to ask her about her favorite restaurant...


Поймите, насколько важно хорошо выглядеть. Регулярно принимайте душ. Следите за гигиеной полости рта, пользуйтесь зубной щеткой и зубной нитью. Следите за своим весом. Стильно одевайтесь.

Studies have shown a person’s appearance can be an important element in any type of attraction, especially since it is the first thing we notice. Making sure that the picture you present is clean, pulled together and highlights your assets can help initially draw others to you. Taking care of one’s appearance can be a powerful form of attraction for many. Keeping your body clean can do wonders for keeping your appearance neat. Taking a shower most days of the week can ward off body odor and make your appearance fresh and appealing.  You don’t have to shower every day necessarily, but keeping dirt, oil, and sweat at bay can keep you smelling fresh. Shower in warm water with a lightly scented soap or shower gel. Choose a scent that you like, but make sure it’s not too heavy so that others aren’t overwhelmed by the scent. After you shower, moisturize your facial and body skin with a product formulated for your skin type. Moisturizer helps promote healthy, glowing skin, which studies have shown can be a powerful form of attraction to others.  Make sure to put on antiperspirant and/ or deodorant to eliminate or keep body odor at bay. Body odor can quickly turn off someone to whom you want to appear irresistible. If you participate in sports or other activities that cause you to sweat, consider showering after each time to ward off body odor that can develop from sweat. Oral hygiene is important to your overall health, but can also be important if you are talking to others frequently. Brushing and flossing regularly can not only maintain the health of your pearly whites, but also keep bad breath at bay, which could be a turn off for someone you are trying to attract.  Brush and floss your teeth at least twice a day, especially when you get up and before bed. Brush and floss after meals if you can. Having food stuck in your teeth can be unattractive, but also promotes the growth of bacteria, which can cause bad breath that may make others not want to talk to you. If you don’t have a toothbrush, chew a piece of gum,...


Поймите, о чем говорит вам табулатура. Отметьте лады на скрипке. Сопоставьте пальцы левой руки и лады. Чтение нот в табулатуре. Скачайте скрипичные табулатуры для занятий.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Tablature, or “tab,” is a shorthand way of describing where and when to place a finger on a string to play a note. This format often does not tell you note duration, however. A tab has 4 lines, each representing one of the strings on the violin. The lines are designated, from the bottom to the top, as G, D, A, and E. A tab will tell you which finger to place where on a given note, and if you have the placements marked already, it will be easier to read a tab. These markings can be made with tape or a dab of paint or white-out directly on the fingerboard of the violin. Measure these placements from the nut, or the connector between the fingerboard and the pegbox and tuning pegs.   1st fret: 1 and 7/16 inches from the nut  2nd fret: 2 and 21/32 inches from the nut  3rd fret: 3 and ¼ inches from the nut  4th fret: 4 and ¼ inches from the nut Each of your fingers (minus your thumb) on your left-hand will have a number that corresponds to a fret. The index finger is 1, middle finger is 2, ring finger is 3, and pinky finger is 4. A 0 denotes an open string (no finger pressing the string). Each note will be marked with a number on a particular string line in the tab. For example, if there is a 0 on the top line of the tab, this means you will play the E string as open (no finger pressing the string). If there is a 1 on the top line of the tab, you will press the first fret with your index finger on the E string. If there is a 3 on the third line up on the tab, you will press the third fret with your ring finger on the A string. There is a wide variety of songs written in tablature for the violin that are available online. Type “violin tablature music” into a search engine to locate songs of varying difficulty.


Поймите, почему важно лечить мать. Используйте только прописанные препараты, не покупайте лекарства без назначения ветеринара и не пользуйтесь «натуральными» средствами.

If the puppies in a litter have fleas, then it's almost certain that the mother will have them too. As a result, it will be necessary to treat the mother in order to avoid reinfecting the puppies. Keep in mind that if there are any other animals in the house that have come in contact with the mother dog or puppies, they will need to be treated for fleas also. Although anti-flea products can be used on the mother, it is important to be careful about the products you choose.  If the mother is still providing milk for her puppies, certain chemicals can be passed onto the puppies through the milk, which could make them sick. Therefore, it is essential that you only use prescription products designed for use in lactating mothers. Some store bought products may be marked as "natural" or "drug free", but this does not mean that they are safe for very young puppies. And even if they don't cause any negative side-effects, natural or herbal products are unlikely to be effective in getting rid of fleas. Prescription medications that contain an ingredient called selamectin (such as Revolution and Stronghold) are licensed as being safe for use in pregnant and lactating mothers.  The medication should be applied to the adult dog's skin, according to the manufacturers' instructions, and allowed to dry for several hours before the puppies are allowed to come in contact with the mother. Selamectin-based medications should only be given in the recommended dosages, and should only be administered topically. When given orally, selamectin was shown to cause foetal abnormalities in rats. There are several ingredients used commonly in anti-flea medications that should never be given to pregnant or lactating dogs. Therefore, it's important to read the label very careful or consult with your dog's vet to avoid using products containing these ingredients.  An ingredient called fipronil (which is found in an anti-flea product called Frontline) should never be used on pregnant or lactating mothers, as it has not been proven safe for...

There are several reasons to prune spirea. These reasons include:  Maintaining the height and spread of your Spirea Shrub, and to preserve an attractive shape. Removing any diseased or damaged branches and any dead growth. Encouraging a second flowering. Removing suckers and prevent the plant spreading via suckering. Some varieties of spirea produce suckers. Suckers are shoots that emerge from the roots of the plant. Suckers are eventually capable of producing independent plants of their own; suckering is one of the ways that spirea reproduces. Pinch or prune these off if you don’t want your spirea to spread in your garden. The specifics of how to do this will be covered in the next section. Dead, diseased, and broken branches should be removed at any time of the year but you should only prune healthy plant growth at the right time. If you have Japanese or Bumald Spirea, prune them in early spring before the flowering season starts. Other varieties of Spirea should be pruned after the flowering has finished.  For varieties of Spirea that bloom in spring, that will usually be late spring. For varieties of Spirea that bloom in summer, that will usually be late summer or fall. Pruning after flowering allows the maximum amount of time for the plant to grow fresh growth after pruning before the flowering season starts again the following year. It isn’t a disaster if you delay pruning, and this won’t harm the plant, but your spirea will offer less of a display in the next flowering season.


Поймите, почему вы чувствуете жару и холод. Узнайте, как ваш организм реагирует на температуру. Понизьте температуру в помещении. Повысьте внутреннюю температуру тела, чтобы легче переносить холод.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Normal human body temperature is 37 degrees Celsius. The human body has three types of sensory receptors in the skin: pain receptors, heat receptors, and cold receptors. Heat receptors start to perceive heat above 30 degrees Celsius (and up to around 45 degrees, where pain receptors take over). Cold receptors perceive cold when temperature drops below 35 degrees.  As you can see, there is a 5-degree overlap zone that will trigger both heat and cold receptors. You feel cold more acutely than you feel heat because your body has 4 times the number of cold receptors as heat receptors. Many of these are located in the face, ears, hands, and feet. Cold receptors stop functioning below 5 degrees Celsius, when you stop feeling cold and start feeling numb.  Your core body temperature can vary slightly, depending on hormonal changes and health. When your temperature exceeds 37 degrees (98.6% Fahrenheit) your blood vessels will dilate, allowing more blood to reach the surface of the skin to be cooled. When your temperature drops, blood vessels contract to conserve body heat. As you regularly experience this sensation, your body will become more efficient at thermoregulation (the temperature control process). Part of the difficulty of getting in a cold shower (particularly in the morning when you have been in bed) is that the shock is exacerbated because your surrounding environment was previously warm. If you lower the temperature of your environment the cold water will be less shocking.  Turn the thermostat down a degree or two. This will even save you money in the winter. Have a fan in the bathroom or bedroom. Increased circulation of air under 37 degrees will accustom your body's cold receptors to being activated. Don't bundle up as tight at night. This can be especially helpful if you are having trouble with cold morning showers. The warmer you bundle up, the colder the shower will feel! There are times when the cold can feel good, like when you jump into a pool on a hot summer day or drink a cold beverage after...

People become addicted because they are self-medicating. Then they are held within the cycle of addiction because of the withdrawal symptoms from the drug.The way to become drug free is to first confront the physical addiction through going to a clinic where you can participate in a program to help with the withdrawal symptoms, which at times can be life-threatening, and then addressing the emotional issues that lead to the decision to use addicting drugs to mask the emotional pain.  People who use drugs are not “bad” or “immoral” people. People who use drugs often cannot simply “knock it off.” Drug addictions change your brain in ways that make it difficult -- but not impossible -- to quit. If you have used drugs before, be cognizant of the triggers that are associated with your using drugs. This could include drug paraphernalia, a group of friends, a certain location, or even a certain song that you used to listen to when you did drugs.  If there are certain triggers that you know may cause a problem and lead to drug use, throw them away. Delete that song from your ipod or throw out those rolling papers; if your triggers are permanently gone you will be less likely to use drugs. You may also need to not go to places you used to go when you used drugs. Staying away may be difficult, but it will help you kick your drug use. Support is key not only to staying off of drugs, but to getting off them. If you are struggling to live a drug free life, a support group may be helpful. To find one, talk to your doctor, counselor or other healthcare provider, check your phone book for a list of local support groups, consult with your religious or secular community groups, or speak with local or national groups who are devoted to helping people get past addictions. ” Urge surfing is a mindfulness exercise that acknowledges your craving and helps you “ride it out” until it goes away. Imagine you are a surfer riding your craving like a wave until it breaks and becomes soft and small and easy to handle. Urge surfing is more...

During a water birth, a baby is delivered in a birthing pool filled with lukewarm water. Deciding on a birth plan is a highly personal choice. There are a variety of reasons women choose water births over conventional methods. Know the rationale behind water births before deciding to undergo the procedure yourself.  A baby spends nine months floating in an amniotic sac filled with fluids. Many women and doctors believe the transition from womb to world is easier on a child if they're submerged in water before being exposed to the open air. However, there is no research to support this and this is only opinion. For many women, water births can be less painful. Women who spend time in water during labor request pain-relieving drugs roughly half as much as women who use conventional methods.  Tearing of the perineum, the area between the vagina and anus, is common during birth. Warm water can soften these tissues, making them more malleable as the baby passes through. Tearing and damage may be less likely during water births.  For many women, warm water can feel soothing and reduce stress during labor. Warm water has also been known to stimulate the body's release of endorphins, a feel-good hormone.  Your weight is supported by water, making it easier to sit upright during delivery. This allows your pelvis to open to pass the baby during birth. A water birth can be performed in a hospital setting or at home. Depending on your preference, there are special considerations for each method.  If you decide to give birth in a hospital, you need to make sure the hospital is able and willing to accommodate a water birth. Many hospitals either have policies prohibiting water births or do not have the proper resources for water births. If you want to go the hospital route, you should make sure a water birth is allowed in your chosen hospital and with your OB/GYN or midwife. You may have to switch hospitals or doctors if you're set on a water birth and your doctor cannot provide one. The majority of water births are done...

Dogs most commonly pull because they are excited to get where they are going, which is usually an exciting place full of interesting smells such as the park. Dogs repeat behaviors when they get a reward from doing that behavior. In this case, the action of pulling on the lead is it's own reward because the dog perceives they get where they want to go more quickly. Once the dog is calm when you attach the leash, try taking it outside. This is likely to reboot the whole excitement thing, because this time it looks like the dog really is going for a walk. To counteract this, set aside plenty of time. Walk out the door with the dog, shut the door, pause, then re-enter the house. Repeat this until both you and the dog are bored, and its lost all interest in pulling on the lead because the chances are it is going straight back inside and not on a walk. This works best if you set aside plenty of time, and are prepared to not actually get as far as your intended destination. Put the dog on the lead and calmly leave the house. As soon as it starts to pull on the leash, stop dead in your tracks. Hold the leash firmly, but do not try to pull the dog back to you.  If your dog needs lots of exercise, try playing ball in the yard to tire it out beforehand so that it gets its exercise. If you let him pull you to the park during the retraining period then you will undo all the good work done to date. When your dog turns its head to look at you, give a hearty "GOOD DOGGY!" then move forward and keep on walking. About every three or four times this happens, give the dog a treat. When the dog pulls, stop and set off walking in the opposite direction. If the dog then tanks ahead of you and pulls in the next direction, stop again and change direction. The message you are sending to the dog is that when it pulls it gets no further forward, therefore there is no point in pulling. Using this method, however, when the dog tries to get you to move faster, it results in you stopping, which means no movement at all. Pretty soon, the dog...

Creating and sticking to a budget will help you to not only cut expenses and reduce debt, but it will also help you to save and build your wealth. The process of building a budget forces you to categorize your expenses into needs and wants, so you learn where you can cut expenses.  Also, it helps you to evaluate what you can actually afford giving your current income and expenses. If you know exactly how much you have to spend each month and prioritize your expenses, you will be far less likely to overdraw your account. Also, you can avoid having to pay bills with credit cards, which only increases your debt. This can be more challenging for some people than for others. If you are paid a salary on a weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly basis, it is easy to figure out how much you earn in a month. However, if you are paid hourly or your salary varies seasonally, it can be more challenging to determine your average monthly income.  Those on a fixed salary can determine how many times they get paid per month and multiply that number by their net paycheck amount to determine their total monthly income.  For example, if you get a bi-weekly paycheck, then you receive two paychecks per month. If your net paycheck after taxes is $1,250, then your total monthly income would be $2,500 ($1,250 x 2 = $2,500). If you are paid bi-weekly, this means you receive 26 paychecks per year, or two extra, because two months of the year have will have three paydays. Be aware which months include this additional payday. If you are paid semi-monthly, you will receive two paychecks per month, regardless of the length of the month, resulting in 24 paychecks per year. If you get paid hourly or your income is irregular for any reason, then look at the last six to 12 months of paychecks. Figure out the average you earn per month. For example, suppose over the past six months you earned $2,500, $3,000, $2,000. $1,800, $3,200, and $2,700. Add these amounts together to get the total ($15,200). Divide the total by 6 to get the average...

There are many misconceptions about vitamins and supplements, in particular that they are always completely safe for anyone to take because they are natural. This, however, is not true — vitamins and supplements can have dangerous interactions with other medications, be considered unsuitable for people with certain medical conditions and, in some cases, you can "overdose" on vitamins. With water-soluble vitamins, your body will, for the most part, eliminate excess through your urine, so there is little chance of the vitamin reaching toxic levels in your body. Fat-soluble vitamins, however, remain in your system for a longer period of time than their water-soluble counterparts, and eating too many of them can lead to an accumulation of excess amounts that may bring on a host of medical problems ranging from headache to death. Supplementation with fat-soluble vitamins should always be overseen by a medical professional and followed up with lab work to measure levels. Follow your doctor's advice for dosage of these vitamins. Your body stores vitamins considered fat-soluble in its fatty tissues and liver. It then draws upon the stores of fat-soluble vitamins to help your body function properly.  Foods that contain fat-soluble vitamins are generally animal products or fatty foods. Examples of foods with fat-soluble vitamins are vegetable oils, milk and dairy foods, eggs, liver, oily fish, and butter.  You do not need to eat foods containing fat-soluble vitamins every day because your body stores excess in your fatty tissues and then draws upon these reserves when you need them. There are several different vitamins that are considered fat-soluble. Recognizing these vitamins can both help you to get a sufficient amount of each and minimize your risk of consuming excess.  Vitamin A assists your vision, promotes bone and tissue growth and aids in reproduction.  Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption in your body, which in turn helps your teeth and bones develop properly. It also helps maintain proper blood levels of...

If you're interested in hanging out with her as a friend, there is less pressure to say just the right thing than if you want her to become romantically interested in you. Once you figure out what you want, you can proceed to text her accordingly.  Note: Most of these steps assume that you are looking for a romantic connection with a girl. After you get a girl’s number it is best not to contact them right away in order to not appear needy or annoying. After you’ve waited however long you think is necessary (2 or 3 days tops), send a quick text message that let's her know you're thinking of her. It’s best to keep the first text short and sweet, flirty, funny, mysterious, or any combination of those. A common text most guys send would be “Hey. It’s John from the coffee shop, remember me?” This is a mistake. Just assume they remember you and they are anxiously awaiting your text. Asking if they remember you should only be in a flirty manner (i.e. you’re teasing her because she'd had a couple of drinks when you met her at a party). Try to stick with the vibe you created when you first got her number. If you flirted with her by giving her a silly nickname like “shorty” or “dork,” include the nickname to subtly remind her about your chemistry in person.

The first step is knowing the type of outcome you would like from a project.   Having a vision will help you ask the right questions about a consultant’s services.  Identify the type of project you are doing and list the steps that you will need to accomplish the project. Determine the type of help you think you need.  Are your needs technical, design-related, or both?  Will you need one person or a team to work on your project?  Can the work be done remotely or do you need to find someone locally with whom you can meet in person? Ask yourself what kind of developers or specialists you need to hire to accomplish your project. Having an initial vision does not mean that the project has to (or will) turn out exactly like you have envisioned it. Your company’s big-picture goals and mission may be as important as the details of the project itself.  Re-read your company’s mission statement, even if you wrote it yourself. Be explicit about how the project will serve the company’s mission. Change your vision for the project if it does not keep with the company’s overall goals. Identify how the project will improve your company, meet the needs of stockholders or shareholders, or serve your clients. Write a statement about how this project will meet the company’s goals.  You may need to include the statement in your RFP, but it will also help you focus your own goals for the project. You need to have a concrete number for the amount of money you will be able to spend on the project. Being upfront with your allowed budget will help your relationship with the consultant you hire in the long run.  Talk to your accounting or finance department ahead of time.  Don’t just assume you know how much money you will be able to spend on a project. Be sure you are including all parts of the project and all individuals you will need to hire to help you meet the needs of your project. Plan for extra expenses.  Projects—particularly big projects—rarely come in under budget.  Leaving yourself some extra room for unexpected expenses...

Human beings are an intrinsically social species. Much of our species' success is due to our highly developed ability to cooperate and interact with each other. From an evolutionary standpoint, it is not surprising that instances of interpersonal rejection and social exclusion are negative experiences for individuals. There are many reasons why people exclude or ostracize others, so it can help to ask yourself why you are being excluded. Being excluded is not your fault, but it helps to understand how others think in order to learn how to make more friends. There are 4 main groups of people who are ostracized:  People who hinder the group's operation. From an evolutionary standpoint, groups accept people who add something to the group. Those who hinder the group's operation can become excluded. Sometimes people are excluded because they are difficult to deal with. Other times, people are excluded simply for being different, and people naturally fear what they don't understand. The group has to learn to see this difference positively. People who are a danger to the group. Societies ostracize people who are aggressive, threaten the group's core values, who are untrustworthy, etc., as a way to protect the group.  People who do not offer specific benefits to the group. Sometimes, a group feels that it already has enough members, so adding more will not add anything new to benefit the group. This isn't personal; the group just isn't interested in growing its members.  People they are jealous of. If you have qualities that others don’t possess, like high intelligence, athletic ability, beauty, musical talent, self-confidence, or any other positive trait, your presence may remind them of what they are lacking. This can cause resentment. This is their issue, not yours. Being excluded socially has been linked to depression, anxiety, substance abuse, alienation, poor academic performance, suicide, and even mass killings. Social ostracism can also change brain function and lead to poor decision-making. A recent study...

Socialization is the process of introducing a puppy to new situations so he learns to interact properly. Introducing your puppy to new situations and people teaches him that the right things (such as other friendly dogs, cats, and people) are not to be feared. Fearful dogs can become “aggressive” if they bite and bark when they cannot run away from the situation. Running away from things that should not be feared can be dangerous. Dogs can run into traffic and get hit by vehicles or run away from home and get lost. Once he's current with vaccinations, you can take him to parks, for walks along busy streets, other dog-friendly places, or enroll him in obedience school. If there are no obedience classes in your area or if you are waiting for one to start up, you can start on basic commands and socialization. You can also take him to crowded areas so he can watch new people and things.  You should try exposing your dog to as many different things as possible. For example, take him for a short car ride and stop every once in a while to let him check out his surroundings. Or, invite friends and their pets over to meet your dog. Let him interact with all different types of people and animals. Don't force or rush your dog to socialize. If he's fearful around new animals, don't constantly make him interact. Instead, take it slow and move at a pace that's clearly comfortable for him. If you do, your Jack Russell will learn to be nervous and aggressive with other dogs. Instead, try to keep him on his leash and keep him beside you when other dogs approach. If a stray or aggressive-looking dog comes up, leave the area quickly with your Jack Russell in tow. On the other hand, Jack Russells can be overly aggressive towards other dogs, even other Jack Russells. Since Jack Russell Terriers are hunting dogs, it's in their nature to be aggressive. You should never leave your dog unattended with another dog, even another Jack Russell Terrier. For this reason, you shouldn't have a Jack Russell Terrier around small children,...

The objectives you hope to achieve will guide your decision as to which educational institute you'll be sending your doggy to.  Do you want them to:  Not bark at visitors? Not beg for food from the table? Not be so territorial / temperamental? Get along better with other pets? Not to chew on furniture or shoes? There are two kinds of schools for dogs: boarding schools and training schools.  Both kinds of schools provide your dog with training and "manners" to keep them well-behaved.  The main difference is that the boarding school will keep your dog overnight for an extended stay; the training schools will only take your pooch for the day.  How much reform your dog needs is the determining factor in choosing one or the other type of dog school.  A pooch in need of serious reform might do best when separated from you and their usual routine for a few days.  A dog who needs only minor correcting is probably better left at the training school. If your main motive for signing the dog up for school is to keep them occupied for hours, a stint at training school for the day is your best option. Ask your vet for a referral, or consult your other dog-owning friends to see if they sent their dogs to any local schools, and ask for their opinions on the value they felt they received from each school.  You can also check reviews online to see what various people thought about the education their pups received. Find a reputable trainer through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers.  Visit their searchable trainer database at https://apdt.com/trainer-search/. The training or care staff should be well-qualified and have lots of experience with animals.  They should be caring, gentle, and attentive to the particular needs of your pet. Ask for credentials and resumes of the staff employed at each school you investigate. Dog training is a serious occupation.  Many trainers today obtain professional certificates.  A good school will have trainers with credentials as well as experience. Ensure the school you're considering...

Though QR codes do not guarantee you a job offer, they make life easier for the recruiter, employer or HR manager. Simplifying the process an employer must go through when accessing your resume and other relevant information takes you one step closer to getting a job. Furthermore, if the QR code is synced to the recruiter's Outlook folder, they will have all your information on their drive without even typing a word. The addition of a QR code to your resume lets you advertise your professional skills and abilities. By adding a code to your resume, you show that you are connected to and aware of the ever-changing tech world. Many employers like candidates who are on the cutting edge, even if the job is not related to Information Technology. Adding a QR code to your resume can surprise the recruiter. An element of surprise will make your resume stand out from the rest in the mind of the recruiter. Any time you can make your resume stick in the mind of a recruiter, you should seize the opportunity in order to further your chances of being hired. You can store a wide range of information in a QR code. You should include any information that could be of help to the recruiter in regards to understanding and knowing about you on a professional level.  Use the QR code to help you achieve a competitive advantage by strategically reinforcing your skills and desirability as a job candidate. You can include details like:  Samples of your work; they could be video or graphics. Link to websites pertaining to your experience and skills. Testimonials from colleagues or clients. Touch friendly contacts like click-to-email or click-to-call options. Social media channels, etc. Similar to a website, you can always track the performance of your QR code.

You can also find out the number of people visiting, to see if hiring managers are viewing your content.


Поймите, что аутизм является глубоким и сложным спектром. Учитывайте конкретные достоинства и сложности близкого вам человека. Разбирайтесь в вопросах аутизма. Поймите, что люди с аутизмом преследуют разные цели. Принимайте людей такими, какие они есть.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Autism has a wide range of aspects that vary from person to person. Since autism is a developmental disability, communication and social skills tend to be a challenge. Specific symptoms vary. Autism is not a linear spectrum from "mild" to "severe." It impacts many different areas in different ways. For example, maybe your friend is funny and great at cheering people up, and has serious difficulty with self-care and sensory processing. An autistic person can be strong in one area and weak in another. It is important to understand your loved one's symptoms. Once you understand where the challenges lie, you can target those areas. Find out what strengths your loved one has, and what challenges they face. All of these components are important when choosing treatment options and coping mechanisms. It is good to know the general signs, and what autistic people think about autism. (Autistic-run organizations and blogs are usually good sources.) Here are a few signs of autism:  Motor skills may be delayed Difficulty understanding and interacting with others Difficulty grasping abstract uses of language (e.g. sarcasm, metaphors) Special interests that are unusual in terms of focus and passion Over- or under-sensitivity to various stimuli (sounds, sights, smells, etc.) Difficulty with self care Repetitive behavior, notably stimming One autistic person might want to focus on developing the self-care skills to live on their own, while another might want to make friends. Others might be perfectly fine with living in assisted living, or not making more friends. Recognize that your idea of the ideal lifestyle might differ from their idea, and it's most important that they are able to be happy. Autistic people are not embarrassing, broken, or deficient—simply different. Instead of saying "I'll finally be happy when my loved one _____," practice being happy now, and embarking on your journey together. Demonstrate unconditional love, so they can love themselves.


Поймите, что боль, которую вы чувствуете, это совершенно нормальное явление. Позвольте себе погоревать. Поймите, что вы не в силах контролировать другого человека и его чувства. Побудьте вдалеке от этого человека. Выразите собственные чувства для самого себя. Поймите, что так вам будет лучше. Не обвиняйте его/ее. Избавьтесь от напоминаний.

When you love someone who doesn't love you back, it hurts. It turns out that “heartbreak” is a very real physical sensation: the pain from rejection activates your parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for things like your heart rate and muscle tension. It’s natural to feel hurt if you love someone who doesn’t return the feeling. Accepting that your feelings are normal can help you process them.  Romantic rejection can actually trigger the same response in your brain as withdrawing from drug addiction.  Psychologists estimate that about 98% of us have experienced some form of unrequited love. Knowing you’re not alone may not make the pain go away, but it may be easier to bear knowing that you’re not the only person to go through this.  Rejection can also cause depression. If you notice any of the following, get help from a mental health professional immediately: Changes in your eating or sleeping habits Feelings of hopelessness or helplessness Changes to your normal mood Trouble controlling negative thoughts Thoughts of harming yourself There's nothing wrong with having to grieve, as long as you don't get stuck there. In fact, it's healthier to let yourself be sad than it is to try to suppress those emotions. Denying or minimizing how you feel -- such as saying “It’s no big deal” or “I didn’t love her anyway” -- will actually make it worse in the long run.  If you can, take some time out of your life to process your sadness. This will help create a healing space for you to deal with your grief. For example: when you first realize (or are told) this person will not love you back, then you should take some time to be alone somewhere, even if it's just going for a 15-minute walk at work. Avoid wallowing in despair, however. If you haven't left your house in weeks, you aren't showering, and you're wearing that ratty old sweatshirt that should really just be burnt, you've gone overboard. It's natural to feel sad, but if you don't try to get focused on your life again, you'll just keep thinking about...


Поймите, что бруксизм может быть вызван стрессом. Создайте для вашего ребенка расслабляющую обстановку перед сном. Убедитесь, что ребенок чувствует себя спокойно в спальне. Положите теплую ткань на челюсть вашего ребенка перед сном.

Teeth grinding can be a sign that your child is stressed or anxious about something. Helping your child to relax may be the key to getting your child to stop grinding his/her  teeth. As mentioned in the previous step, teeth grinding can be a sign that your child is stressed. Helping your child to relax for bed may reduce how often he/she grinds his/her teeth. Create a routine that involves relaxing activities before bedtime. These activities could include:  Taking a warm bath. Listening to soothing music. Reading a book. Telling your child stories or singing lullabies. Dimming the lights and making the room cooler can help your child to sleep more peacefully, and thus stop grinding his/her teeth. To make your child’s bedroom relaxing and peaceful:  Keep the lights dim. Instead of using bright fluorescent bulbs, set your child’s room up with some dim bulbs that you can be turned on at night. Keep the temperature down. Most people tend to sleep better when the temperature in their bedroom is lower (around 65° F or 18° C). Make sure your child’s bed is comfortable. If your child is starting to outgrow his/her bed, you may want to consider getting him a larger one that he/she can grow into. Having a comfortable bed can help your child sleep better. Warm temperatures can create good blood flow. If you hold a warm, wet washcloth to your child’s face, you will help his/her jaw muscles to relax by creating good blood flow to the area. This will help your child’s jaw to relax and will make him/her less likely to clench his/her teeth together while he sleeps. Run the washcloth under warm water. Make sure to test the cloth against your own skin first to make sure that it is not too hot. Hold the cloth over your child's jaw. Once the washcloth has cooled, run it under the water again and switch it to the other side of your child’s jaw.

All baby formulas are regulated and, in general, every baby formula contains basically the same combination of protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamins, and minerals, which closely mimic that of human breast milk.  The difference between the formulas is the sources of the proteins and carbohydrates that are used. There can also be some variation in the sources of the other main components. Some parents may prefer not to feed their baby a formula that has a particular nutrient source, such as corn syrup, while others have no problem with it. Since the nutritional value is basically the same for all formulas, knowing about nutrient sources is a useful way to differentiate between baby formulas. Breast milk and formulas made from cow's milk have the same main carbohydrate, which is lactose.  However, there are lactose-free and soy formulas for babies that are lactose intolerant or being raised as vegans. These, and other specialty formulas, contain various types of carbohydrates that might include sucrose, modified corn starch, corn maltodextrin, or corn syrup solids. Most formulas have cow's milk as a base and whey and casein are their proteins, but some other formulas are made from plant proteins and have a soy base.  These proteins have a soy protein isolate that is easier for some babies to digest. Soy-based formulas are often fed to babies who suffer from allergies or digestion troubles when fed formulas with a cow's milk base. Vegetable based formulas are also popular with vegans because they want to avoid products that come from animals. The ingredients in organic formulas are sourced from organic produce and organic dairy.  These ingredients are obtained without the use of chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, and growth hormones. Some people believe that organic ingredients are more healthy for developing babies, and limit their exposure to harmful chemicals. Probiotic formula is formula that includes good gut flora, microorganisms that are meant to promote healthy digestion and regular bowel movements....


Поймите, что вам нужно. Подумайте о своих целях. Изо всех сил старайтесь добиться того, чего хотите. Не идите на обман.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

This could be anything. Whether you wish to get a job, find love or friendship, make the trip of your life or simply buy a new camera, you need to make sure you know exactly what you want and why you want it.  Although it may sound easy, this is in in fact the most difficult task. You may not be clear about your goals or conflicted between two options. Be honest with yourself and find out what you really enjoy or can help you become the person you want to be. If you’re undecided between several options, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each and make a decision based on it. You can write down a list of pros and cons to help you through the process. Focus on the reasons behind your wish, consider possible alternatives, compare them and see whether your original wish is the one that best responds to your larger goal. For example, if you want to get a special camera in order to become a professional photographer, consider other cameras in the same range and check whether the one you originally wanted is still the best option to help you achieve your larger goal: becoming a professional photographer. This is a common strategy in project management, but it also works effectively in personal development. It will allow you to stay grounded, think in practical terms and steer clear of wishful thinking. S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym of five basic criteria that can help you set clear goals. What you want should be:   Specific. Don’t be generic about your goals. Ask yourself what you really want, why you want it, who can help you get it and in which way.  Measurable. Sticking to quantifiable goals can also help you be specific and grounded. For example, if you want a car, find out its price, make an estimate of how much it will take for you to have that amount of money, think of where you’ll store it.  Achievable. Be realistic about your goals. If you want to become a millionaire or marry a princess, the odds could be against you. Stick to goals that you know are within your reach.  Relevant. Ask yourself whether what...


Поймите, что ваш рост не является проблемой. Научитесь правильно отвечать тем, кто обижает вас из-за роста. Обратитесь за помощью к другим. Двигайтесь с уверенностью в себе.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Know that others who have insecurities about their own size or appearance are the ones to criticize or bully and create a problem out of your size that you would not otherwise have.  Understand that other people may treat you badly about your size because they have also been mistreated, they think it is normal or acceptable because of their other interactions with peers or family, or because they see smaller size as being less desirable from TV shows, movies, or the internet.  Imagine that no one made comments about you being small or otherwise mistreated you for it. Would you still have a problem with your size? This may help you to see that it is other people creating the problem, not your small size. Are there things about your small size that you like? Let people know when they say something about your size that you don't like, rather than quietly accepting it.  Deal with bullies or other criticizers as kindly as possible, without resorting to calling them names or getting angry, as this may only encourage them to repeat their insults.  For instance, to someone who pats you on the head and makes comments about your size, you can kindly ask them to stop. To anyone who says negative things about how small you are, you can calmly explain, “Actually, I really like being this size” or “Actually, I'm small because of a medical condition, so please don't make fun of me for it.” If you feel you cannot safely talk back to a bully, or someone threatens you with physical violence or another serious attack, go to a parent, teacher, guidance counselor, police officer, or any person you trust for help right away. Ask for help from someone you trust if you cannot get through to someone who is offending or hurting you with speech or actions regarding your small size. Always notify the police if someone physically harms you or threatens to do so.  If you are a child, go to a parent, teacher, guidance counselor, or other adults you trust and explain the situation to them. If you are an adult, talk to a friend, a mentor, a...


Поймите, что ваш страх кошек, скорее всего, усиливается из-за негативных мыслей. Составьте список всех негативных и вредных мыслей, которые появляются у вас в присутствии кошек. Замените негативные мысли позитивными.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Most people who are afraid of cats are already aware that cats are pretty harmless. However, they have a fear response that is initiated in the brain that they can’t currently control.  Phobias are often learned behavior.  A person may have one bad experience with a cat, he may have subconsciously begun to associate cats with negative things such as illness, or he may have “learned” to be afraid of cats by watching his parents’ fearful behavior around them when he was a child. Multiple brain regions are involved in phobias. Therefore, it will take you some time to retrain your brain to think and respond differently to cats. When you are able to identify those unhelpful thoughts, then you can begin to evaluate them.  You will probably see that most of these thoughts fall into one (or more) of these three cognitive distortions:  Fortune telling is when a person assumes they know what the outcome of a situation is going to be without any true evidence to support it. For example, you may think “This cat is going to scratch me” even though you’ve never had any interaction with that cat before. Overgeneralizing is when a person takes one specific event and generalizes it to all events. For example, you may think “My friend’s cat scratched me two years ago therefore all cats are vicious.” Catastrophizing is when you predict that a negative outcome is going to occur and believe that when it does, it will result in a catastrophe.  Catastrophizing is when you assume a situation is going to be the absolute worst case scenario. For example, you may think “If the cat scratches me, I will get an infection and die.” You can do this by creating alternative statements to counteract the negative thought. When doing this, you are essentially retraining your subconscious to release the unhelpful cognitive distortions and replace them with more positive beliefs.  Focus on replacing the negative thought with a positive statement that helps you emphasize neutral or more positive outcomes. For example, you could replace the thought...

Having a baby changes individual lives and that of a couple in significant ways. By understanding and talking about the inevitable changes that will happen, you can prevent misunderstandings and potential problems in your relationship.  Women are hard-wired to focus on nurturing their baby in the first few months after birth. Being aware of this along with inherent changes can help your husband prepare himself mentally.  For example, most women don’t want to have sex in the initial months after giving birth—and some don’t even want to have sex during pregnancy. But men don’t experience this change. Understand that it’s hormonal and make a plan for how you’ll deal with it. There are all kinds of books and websites available to help you prepare for your child. Gather information from your doctor, friends, books, and websites to help you navigate your pregnancy as a couple.  Ask your doctor and friends for tips and resources that can be valuable during and after pregnancy. You may want to consult sources that explain what is happening to your body at every stage so that you and your husband understand the changes you’re both experiencing. One of the best gifts you can give your baby is a strong partnership. Keeping your relationship strong and healthy throughout your pregnancy and beyond can help you effectively prepare and care for your baby.  It’s important at this time to have discussions about all kinds of matters including expectations, family values and how you’ll raise your children. Even if you can agree completely, you can find some kind of compromise that may help to prevent undermining your relationship. Schedule ample time together to enjoy life as a couple. You can go for walks or have more formal date nights or vacations to strengthen your bond. Babies are expensive and require a lot of time and attention. Talking about your finances and how you’ll share the work of taking care of your baby can help avoid miscommunications down the road.  You may want to discuss workload during your pregnancy,...


Поймите, что ваше признание может навсегда изменить ваши отношения. Поймите, что вам могут отказать. Помните, что романтические чувства могут проходить. Помните, что вы не одни.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

It's an all-too-common tale of woe: someone confesses true love to a best friend only to discover that things aren't really "the same" after. Telling your best friend that you love her forces both of you to re-evaluate the way you look at each other. It's important to weigh the relationship you have now against the one you might have only if everything goes well. If your current relationship is really important to you, you may not want to risk it. The fact that it's almost impossible to go back to "the way things were" after your confession doesn't necessarily mean that you'll ruin your relationship with your best friend. However, it does mean that you'll almost definitely change it. For example, if you used to see movies together in a strictly platonic way, this may become an awkward activity. It's very important not to fool yourself into thinking that you'll live happily ever after with her if you can just tell her how you feel. Doing this is setting yourself up for a huge disappointment if she doesn't feel the same way. You don't have to be a pessimist about your chances, but you do need to be realistic and remember that it's her choice whether things move further — not a sure thing. If you can't bear the thought of rejection, you may want to move on. Remember that rejection doesn't always mean that you're not "good enough." There are a number of reasons why someone may not want to date. For instance, she may not want to have a serious relationship with anyone at the moment. There may even be things that you don't know about that prevent her from dating, like work and school commitments that take all of her time. Did your feelings for your best friend arrive suddenly without warning? If so, you may want to give yourself a few weeks or months to see whether the feelings "stick." Feeling attracted to someone today doesn't necessarily mean you'll feel the same way forever. Don't risk a great friendship with a confession of love only to discover that what you really had was a short-term crush (or, as...

Despite what you think about your teeth, there are always people with worse teeth than you. There may be something about your teeth, such as the crooked tooth in the front, the gap in between the top and bottom teeth, or their color, that you think is so apparent and awful that no one will ever want to look at you. This is usually not the case. You stare at your teeth every day and see each and every imperfection. Most people pay very little attention to your teeth and will never notice the imperfections you see. Even if they do notice, most people won't care. Very few people have perfect teeth. Even if you feel self conscious, you should own your teeth. Present yourself with confidence and a sincere smile and no one will pay attention to things such as bad teeth. The confidence and smile can give a great impression no matter the condition of your teeth. Practice smiling confidently in the mirror. If you are really worried about your teeth, try not to draw too much attention to your mouth. Don't wear bright, bold lipstick or lip liner. This will cause people's eye to go directly to your mouth. Instead, wear clear gloss or balm. This will make your lips look normal and not draw attention to them. You also shouldn't place your hands near your mouth or chew on your fingernails. If you do, people will look at your mouth and teeth, which is not what you want. If you are worried about people paying too much attention to your teeth, trying pulling people's attention away from it. Try wearing mascara or bright eyeshadow if you wear makeup. If you don't, try an interesting pair of glasses to draw attention to your eyes instead of your teeth. Be expressive with your eyes, especially when smiling. Using your eyes to show your emotion not only makes your smile feel warmer and more engaging, it also draws attention away from your teeth. If your best feature is not your teeth, try calling attention to the parts of you appearance that you do like. This will direct attention to parts of your appearance you feel confident...

Wanting to know your origins isn’t a sign of disloyalty to your family, whether they’re your birth family or adoptive. It is very common for adoptees to want to understand their personal histories, and research suggests that this knowledge can improve a person’s well-being. Has some particular event or experience prompted to you ask these questions? Have you always felt a little different from the rest of your family? It’s natural as you grow up to feel somewhat disconnected from your parents, or to feel sometimes as though you have nothing in common with them. It’s also common to feel like you are different or an outsider during adolescence. While these feelings may be stronger for adoptive children, almost everyone experiences them at some point. Do you want simply to know whether or not you were adopted? Do you want the story of how you came to be adopted? Do you want to search for your biological parents? Do you want to contact your biological relatives, or do you just want to know who they are? Understanding what you want from the situation will help you as you talk with your family. While the number of “open” adoptions (adoptions with some level of contact between the biological and adoptive families) has risen dramatically over the past few years, many people still feel uncomfortable talking about adoption with their children or with other adults. Even if your family wants to talk to you about this issue, they may not know how. Stigma is particularly likely if the adoption occurred under certain circumstances, such as a teenaged mother giving up her child for adoption or an intra-family adoption. This is an obvious step, but it can be very difficult. Keep your parents’ feelings in mind as you ask questions, but be open with them about your feelings too. It’s probably a good idea to approach your parents first, if they are still living, rather than going to other family members. Many family members may wish to respect your parents’ wishes and could feel uncomfortable sharing information with you if you...

An ectopic pregnancy is a physically and emotionally taxing experience. There are several reasons why you might feel angry, worried, or sad. You should know that these feelings are natural, and there is nothing “wrong” with you. There is no “right” or “wrong” way to feel.  Your body’s hormonal balance has been in flux. This can lead to depressive symptoms. It can also cause symptoms such as palpitations, agitation, and dizziness.  Even though your body cannot carry an ectopic pregnancy to term, it can be devastating to learn that your pregnancy must be terminated. You may be worried about your health and your ability to have another pregnancy. You may blame yourself or feel guilty. You should know that ectopic pregnancies are not your fault.  Recovering from a major surgery can put further strain on your emotions. Your hospital or community clinic may be able to refer you to counselors with special training in pregnancy-related issues. Losing a pregnancy and having major surgery are both experiences that you may find helpful to discuss with a mental health professional.  You may also wish to involve your partner in counseling. Some people may have difficulty expressing their feelings, and going to counseling together may help both of you work through this difficult time.  It is a common myth that men do not grieve the loss of a pregnancy. However, research suggests this is not true. Men may express their grief differently than women, but they may also experience anger or depression after their partners lose a pregnancy. There is nothing that says you have to talk if you don’t want to. However, you may find that it helps to get support from those close to you. Find friends or family members that aren't afraid to acknowledge your loss and provide the support you need to work through this difficult time. One of the most important elements that helps recovery is not feeling alone. You may find that a support group where you can talk with others who have had similar experiences will help you process your feelings....

If being disliked or rejected hurts you, rest assured that you are not too sensitive or imagining things; it hurts to be disliked, even if you don't particularly like the person who dislikes you! It's totally normal to feel angry, anxious, jealous, or sad if you experience social rejection. Feelings of rejection can even result in physical symptoms like the inability to sleep and a lowered immune response, which might lead to illness. Sure, some people dislike you, but other people like you. Figuring out which people's opinions should matter to you, and learning to ignore the rest, is a life-long challenge for many people.  Ask yourself: Who are the people who dislike you? Is it only one person, a few people, or a whole group of people? Have you done anything to deserve being disliked? Could there be a misunderstanding or a rumor that has caused people to dislike you? Once you figure out who dislikes you and why, you can ask yourself "Does their opinion of you matter?" If the person is not an important part of your life, recognize that everyone has some people who don't particularly like them, and this person's opinion of you shouldn't matter. He or she is not central in your life or a factor in your happiness. If someone dislikes you, one way to deal with it is to be sure that you have a support system that accepts and loves you. Having a few people who dislike you won't be as big of a deal.  In fact, your brain produces opioids in response to positive social interactions, so having a few friends you can rely on can help to counter the pain of social rejection from those who dislike you.  If making friends is hard for you, check out this helpful wikiHow article for tips on meeting and making new friends. It's common to feel angry if you are disliked for no reason or for reasons beyond your control, but lashing out doesn't make things better. In fact, it is likely to make it worse.  Aggressive people are often seen as threatening, which can cause even more social rejection.  Try to redirect feelings of anger...


Поймите, что волнение — это нормально. Как часто у вас появляются мысли о нем? Составьте список всех вещей, которые вам нравятся в этом человеке. Решите, через что вы готовы пройти, чтобы быть с этим человеком.

Feeling scared is completely normal for anyone who is falling in love. The person definitely should not be actually scary, but the vulnerability they make you can feel can be nerve-racking. Loving someone is giving them the ability to hurt you. That can be scary, but accept this as normal. It’s a sign of love if you think about the person often. Consider when the person you might love crosses your mind. Is it when you see something they would like? Do you wish they could be there doing simple tasks, like homework, with you? Thinking of and genuinely missing the person when you’re apart could mean you’re in love. It doesn’t necessarily mean you’re in love if they are all you think about. That could be infatuation. Write down all of the positive things about the person you may be in love with. Make another list of all the things that annoys you about them. There should be some things that you don’t like about them. Being in love means knowing the person is imperfect, but being crazy about them anyway. Sometimes only time will tell if you care about the true, and not idealized, person that they are. Love should never be abusive or hurtful in any way, but you will have rough spots throughout a relationship. Consider if you would still love them after an argument, or if you’d stand by them when they’re going through a rough time in life. You probably love the person if you are willing to stick with them through adversity.  You should not have to go through cheating, mental abuse, or physical abuse to be with a person you love. If your parents of friends don’t like the one you love, talk to them about it. Consider if their reasoning in justified before taking action in your relationship.


Поймите, что вы контролируете свое отношение к ситуации. Не думайте о том, почему вы не можете что-то сделать. Избегайте негативно настроенных людей. Используйте позитивные слова. Не поддавайтесь иррациональным мыслям.  Развивайте стойкость

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Many people falsely believe they cannot control how they feel. This can lead to a defeatist attitude, in which setbacks and problems are internalized. Remind yourself you can control your attitude. You can choose how you interpret your experience. Viewing experience through a more positive lens can help fuel an upbeat, can-do attitude.  Remember that people view situations differently. One person may see missing the last train to work as an opportunity to enjoy a nice walk before a long work day. The other person may see it as a disaster. You can choose which of these life views to embrace. Opting for positivity over catastrophic thinking will be more energizing. You will be more eager to say "Yes" to new opportunities and experiences as you won't be as emotionally drained. When an opportunity is presented, many people immediately think of the reasons they can't do it. Your mind may immediately make a running list of your limitations and the reasons something can't be done. Work to block out these thoughts as they occur. If something simply needs to get done, you can't indulge in worrying over whether it can be done.  Challenge your knee-jerk excuses. For example, your boss asks you to make a presentation at a big conference. Your immediate thought is, "I can't do this. I don't have time. I don't know enough about the subject." Stop immediately. Do not think about why you can't do the presentation. Instead, focus on the ways you can could conceivably achieve. For example, instead think, "This will be a challenge, but I can do it. How can I make time for this? What should I do to learn more about this subject?" Other people can really affect your own attitude. It's hard enough to stay positive and work against your own negative thoughts. You don't need negative people encouraging such thoughts. Try to limit your contact with chronic complainers.  You will learn to filter out negative people fast. You may know someone in your office who's prone to complaining about all their setbacks. You may find when you...


Поймите, что вы не в состоянии контролировать других людей. Уйдите прочь. Не говорите.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Some arguments continue in spite of your best efforts. If your boyfriend is saying hurtful things, misinterpreting you, acting arrogant or judgmental, his ego has been hurt and he is behaving this way out of self-protection. Although you may think that by saying or doing the right thing you can bring him around, he's actually not in a state where he's truly receptive to your words and actions. While you cannot change what's happening with the other person, you can take care of yourself. Realizing this helps avoid damaging confrontations. It's okay to walk away from your boyfriend; remember, though, that this is not a punishment to him. Stay receptive and loving, and when he decides to open up, be there to listen. Sometimes a 30-minute break can help both of you calm down. Take a walk, call a friend, or do something else entirely for a good half an hour before returning to your boyfriend. If you can't walk away for whatever reason, disengage from the argument by keeping silent. Listen to your inner feelings instead of fanning the flames with more words.


Поймите, что вы не можете заставить кого-либо измениться. Постарайтесь ограничить контакты с этим человеком. Активно выражайте свою позицию. Поговорите с человеком.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

The truth is, this isn't your battle to fight — if the person is not willing to recognize his behavior and take steps to change it, there is little you can do. It may be particularly difficult for an emotionally immature person to realize he needs to change, as a hallmark of emotional immaturity is blaming other people or circumstances for one's bad behavior. The only thing you can control is your behavior — how you react to the person, and how much time you spend with them. Depending on the severity of the person's immaturity and her willingness to change, you may need to cut her out of your life. If the immature person is your significant other, you may need to end the relationship if she is not willing to change. If the person is someone you can't remove from your life, such as a boss, coworker, or family member, then try to limit your contact as much as possible.  Keep your interactions as brief as possible. Excuse yourself from conversations firmly but politely, saying something like, "I'm sorry to cut this short, but I'm in the middle of a huge project and I really need to get back to it." In a social setting, do your best to simply avoid her, talking to your other friends or relatives. An emotionally immature person can be manipulative and self-centered, so if you must communicate with him, try to do so clearly and assertively. Assertive does not mean aggressive — it means being clear, respectful, and stating what you need, while at the same time being respectful of other people's needs, feelings, and wants. In short, you state what you need, and let go of the outcome.  Understand that even if you maturely communicate your needs, the immature person may not respond maturely. Learn more about being assertive by reading this wikiHow article: How To Be Assertive. If you think the person is open to hearing feedback, and she is someone you want to keep in your life, then you may want to try and talk to her about her behavior. Prepare yourself for her to become defensive, which may interfere with getting...


Поймите, что вы не одиноки. Двигайтесь вперед. Занимайтесь чем-то самостоятельно. Подумайте о том, чтобы завести питомца.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Loneliness is a normal part of being human, but it can make you feel like you are abnormal. Reach out to a friend or family member and talk with that person about how you are feeling. As you tell someone about your feelings, you can also ask if they have had these feelings too. This process of reaching out and sharing with someone will help you to see that you are not alone.  Try saying something like, “Lately I have been feeling lonely and I wondered if you have ever felt this way.” If you do not have a friend or family member to talk to, reach out to a teacher, counselor, or pastor. Instead of persistently dwelling on how alone you feel, do things to get your mind off of your loneliness. Take a walk, ride your bike or read a book. Explore activities and hobbies, and don't be afraid to try new things. Having experience gives you a basis upon which you can comment in more social situations (thus talk to more people) and strike up conversations that will interest other people. Keep yourself busy. Having down time is what causes feelings of loneliness to creep in. Throw yourself into work or extracurricular activities. If you don’t have someone to go out with all of the time, don’t let that stop you from getting out and enjoying yourself. For example, if you want to go out to dinner or to a movie on a date, then take yourself out to a movie or to a nice restaurant. Although, at first, it may seem awkward to be doing things by yourself that you might normally do with someone else, don't hold yourself back. It is not strange to be by yourself and out doing things! Once you remember why you did these things before, you can enjoy the activity for itself again.  Take a book, magazine, or journal with you if you go out to eat or have coffee on your own, so you'll be occupied when you would usually be conversing. Bear in mind that people do go out on their own on purpose just to have "me" time by themselves; it is not as if people will look at you sitting alone and assume you have no friends. It may take some time to...


Поймите, что вы не одни. Подумайте, в чем причина вашей неловкости. Начните работать над преодолением застенчивости. Перестаньте переживать из-за того, что другие подумают о вас. Подумайте, страдаете ли вы социофобией. Признайте свои чувства.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

You may think that every person in your orbit is socially smooth, but in reality, most people worry about being socially awkward in public. They worry about whether or not people like them, whether they're making a good impression, or whether people are bored by them. You may think that some people around you just naturally exude confidence and never have to worry about how they come off, but every person is insecure about some aspect of social interaction. We all want to be liked and have friends. For many people who experience social awkwardness, the feelings stem from anxiety, fear, insecurity, or low self-confidence. Each of these sources can be tackled if you're willing to push your boundaries a little at a time and to find ways to build your confidence. In each case, try to identify the root cause of what's making you feel awkward so that you can address it directly. The sooner you know the real source, the sooner you can get to tackling it. There are many other reasons for feeling self-conscious, such as having had a bad past experience, feeling that you're not understood, feeling pressure to interact in situations (such as work, peers, or parental pressure, etc.), or feeling confused about the motivations and actions of those around you. Being shy can really inhibit your social interactions. Shyness can vary from feeling shy around all people, or just certain groups. You may be reluctant to interact for fear of embarrassment. You can work on feeling more relaxed during social interactions and coming out of your shell a bit more.  If you are shy, you may want to participate in social events but feel afraid of being embarrassed or left out. See How to Overcome Shyness for more information and realize that shyness is something that can be managed. Though it may sound easier said than done, one major way to avoid social awkwardness is to stop caring about how others perceive you. Most people are worrying what others think of them, which is something worth reminding yourself when you start to worry about...


Поймите, что вы не сможете и не должны пытаться изменить девушку. Проанализируйте свои ожидания. Рассматривайте справедливость компромиссов.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

You are with your girlfriend because your list of “likes” about her is longer than your list of “dislikes.” If you want to make the relationship work, however, you’ll need to accept those dislikes. This could mean a lot of compromise on your part. However, this doesn’t mean you should let go of your non-negotiables. Simply try to come up with an agreement that you can both live with. For instance, she may have her nose in her smart phone all night while you just want to spend quality time. Suggest that you set a designated time aside—for instance, one hour—where you both turn off your phones. You may have gone into the relationship thinking it was going to be your way or the highway. Or, you may have had other unrealistic expectations of how things were going to be. You’ll need to assess which is more important: trying to obtain these potentially far-fetched ideals, or compromising to something that works for the both of you. Determine if the compromise you are asking of or are asked by your girlfriend is actually fair. Some compromises are more like demands and can ruin a relationship. If you believe the compromise you are asked to do is unfair, let her know. You shouldn’t have to give up what makes you you, and vice versa. The only compromises that you should ask of your girlfriend and she should ask of you are ones that make you better and grow as a couple. Compromises that make you feel bad about yourself and negatively affect your life are typically unfair to ask of one another.


Поймите, что вы не сможете сделать абсолютно все. Поймите, что вы не эгоист. Поймите, что невозможно всем угодить. Думайте обо всем, на что вы отвечаете "да", когда говорите "нет." Поймите, почему вам так тяжело говорить нет. Распознайте определенные хитрости, которыми люди пользуются, чтобы заставить вас сказать "да".

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Your problem with saying "yes" to everyone may have already left you trapped with almost no time to yourself. You may have said "yes" to helping your friend run her bake sale, "yes" to helping your boss manage a new project and "yes" to helping your significant other paint his apartment. You can avoid this situation in the future by beginning to say "no."  Whether you can't do everything because you've said "yes" to so many people, or because of all of the commitments of your busy life, tell yourself that it's impossible for you to say "yes" when you don't feel right about it. One of the big reasons that people can't say no without feeling guilty is because they feel that they're being selfish for turning down people who need their help, therefore making more time for themselves. But if you're selfish, then you're always looking out for yourself only and would never feel guilty about saying "no" to someone.  Tell yourself that you're not being selfish, and that if that person thinks you're selfish for not doing something unreasonable, then that's not a person you should want to associate with. Think of all of the times that you have said "yes" to people in the past -- what's selfish about that? Acknowledge that it's impossible to please every person in your life and that you have to draw the line somewhere. You may feel that you will disappoint a person if you say "no," and will thus lose his respect, but you may find that the opposite is true. If someone thinks you'll say "yes" to everything, then he will actually be more likely to take advantage of you and to ask you to do too many favors. You can please the people you really care about some of the time, but it's not possible to please every person every time -- and maintain your sanity. You don't have to look at saying "no" as a negative thing. If you're saying "no" to doing more work, you're saying "yes" to a variety of things that will benefit your life. If you think of all of the things that will be better off from you saying "no," you will feel less...


Поймите, что вы стоите в начале очень долгого и длинного пути. Сравнивайте грамматические правила между собой. Читайте как можно больше по-английски. Запишитесь на курсы английского. Найдите репетитора. Не останавливайтесь на достигнутом, сами ищите дополнительную информацию. Занимайтесь английским.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

The rules and information provided in this article will not teach you everything you need to know about English grammar. This article is intended to serve as a starting point in your studies. The actual subject of English grammar is much more complex, and you will need to devote a lot of time and effort if you really want to learn it. If you are learning English as a second language, compare the rules of English grammar to the grammar rules of your native language. Some aspects will be similar while others will differ.  When the rules are the same, rely on the knowledge you have of your native grammar to help you with English grammar. When the rules differ, devote more time and concentration on practicing those aspects of English grammar as you study. People who do a lot of reading tend to be more proficient with English grammar in their own writing and speech.  This does not refer to grammar books. Grammar books are helpful, of course, but the principle of this step is a different one. Read books, magazines, or other materials written in English that you enjoy. The more often you read, the more familiar you will naturally become with the way that grammar is used in word, sentence, and paragraph levels. Learning the rules of English grammar is an important step, but you will be able to put those rules into practice better if you are actually used to seeing proper grammar. If you are currently in school, look for a special elective class that focuses on grammar or a tutoring opportunity provided through your school. If you are no longer in school, consider taking a grammar class at a community college, community center, or library. You could also look for a class online. For non-native English speakers, look for classes specifically designed for students who are learning English as a secondary language. These classes are usually labeled as ESL (English as a Second Language), ENL (English as a New Language), or ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) classes. If formal classes do not help, find a mentor...


Поймите, что вы чувствуете. Научитесь говорить нет. Решите, какие дела вы можете отложить. Ставьте перед собой достижимые краткосрочные цели. Подумайте о долгосрочных целях. Не позволяйте давлению социума сломать вас.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you're the kind of person who doesn't prioritize her own feelings, you might end up feeling overwhelmed and stressed more quickly than someone who notices her stress level inching up. You might need to include checking out your feelings as a part of your daily schedule.  Try using a "feelings thermometer" to take your emotional temperature. Your thermometer might range from "Piece of cake!" to "Out of control!" or similar. If your temperature is too high, do something relaxing. If it's too low, it would be a good time to try something new. If identifying feelings is hard for you, try looking at a "feelings chart" that can help you remember the different emotions, and identify the one that's true for you. It's great to be involved in a variety of activities, but if you don't have enough time to do them all, you'll end up stressed. Learning to say no is an important quality of living independently and successfully.  Remember that saying no isn't always selfish, and saying yes isn't always healthy. As you learn to practice saying no, you're also learning to prioritize your own mental well-being. If you won't be taking the SAT within the next year, you might be able to put off studying for it. If you have a major project due in one subject, see if you can put off studying for a test that won't occur until next week.  If you've planned well, you should have scheduled adequate time for both. But don't waste time blaming yourself if you find yourself in a bind. Make the best of it, and prioritize what needs to be done first. Remember that not everything has to be done perfectly. If you're taking a class "pass-fail" then you don't have to make a perfect grade in it. Doing something "good enough" is an important life skill for a perfectionist to master! It's a lot less stressful to set goals that you can actually accomplish, rather than setting goals that describe the kind of lofty ideals that you might prefer. If your goals are attainable, you'll be encouraged by the feeling of success that comes with completing a...


Поймите, что вы – это вы. Поймите, что есть вещи, которые невозможно изменить. Будьте искренни Примите свою человеческую природу

You will always be who you are. This is possibly the hardest part of practicing self-acceptance. Embrace your good points. Look at the list of good qualities you developed in the steps above. What are some of the things you love about yourself? Are you especially creative? Do you have a great sense of humor? Learn to focus on your best qualities and you'll realize there's lots to like! For example, are you an introvert by nature? Do you have a Type-A personality? These are key aspects of your personality that are difficult to alter. But more importantly, why should you want to change your very being? It's your core being! Instead of trying to change yourself, embrace all aspects of your personality, even those you might think at first are undesirable qualities.  Get some perspective. Introverts, by way of example, are great at developing new ideas and making plans. Moreover, introverts often make especially good friends for themselves because they can find fulfillment and strength from within. They also often demonstrate a high level of curiosity so their minds are always running and working and, as a result, they're rarely bored.  The more we understand, accept, and then embrace who we are, the easier it will be to experiment with this process and accept our own unique nature and abilities. You value honesty in your friends so you should value it in yourself. Don't be afraid to be open and straightforward about the things you are good at. This is not arrogance; it's honesty. For example, maybe you've been told many times that you are a good listener. Instead of downplaying your good qualities and achievements, take ownership of and value them. Everyone makes mistakes. This is part of being human. If we hope to be friends with anyone, including with ourselves, it is necessary to be able to move on from the mistakes of the past. No one needs to carry the burden of regret with him into his future interactions.  Try taking a small change in perspective. Instead of viewing each mistake as a catastrophe and...

Heat is the number one cause of hardware failure for the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 needs to be well ventilated in order to operate properly. Overheating can lead to a variety of hardware issues, leading to the failure of different components. Excess heat warps  the motherboard, separating it from the CPU and GPU chips. Do not place it in a cabinet or enclosed area. Make sure that other electronics are not close, and that none of the vents are blocked. Do not place your 360 on a carpeted surface, as it will not be able to vent out of the bottom. Constantly running your Xbox will increase the amount of heat it generates. Give your system breaks to allow it to cool down. There is a lot of anecdotal evidence that placing your system vertically decreases its ability to dissipate heat, as well as increasing the chances of scratched discs. Place your system horizontally on a hard, flat surface. Stacked items will reflect heat back into the system. Keep the top of your system clear. Make sure to dust the area regularly to keep particles from accumulating in the system. Dust the surroundings to reduce the amount of dust in the air. Use a vacuum to suck dust out of the vents. Wipe dust off of the system regularly. In extreme cases, you can open your case and use compressed air to blast dust off of the components.

You can help to convince yourself of this by trying the following:  Check your horoscope (hopefully for the last time). Look at what your horoscope says. Then look at a different sign's horoscope. Can they both be applied to you? Then try looking at all the different signs. See how general they are? At least a few can be applied to anyone, including yourself, which proves that they are not specialized in any way whatsoever.  If you find yourself thinking that you need to change to fit a horoscope, you have a clear answer that it's not accurate. It is also not the slightest bit unusual to find yourself thinking that some of the horoscope applies to you, while a lot of it doesn't. Seize that moment and realize it for what it is––your mind is telling you that the fit is wrong because no single horoscope can discern who you are. Unfortunately, many people choose to ignore the bits that don't fit and exaggerate the value of the parts that do, hence giving meaning to something that simply hasn't earned it. Do their personalities really match the personalities that the horoscope claims them to have? Do the people born in the same month as you act exactly like you? You will see that this is not the case - everyone has some stronger personality traits, but they don't necessarily correspond to what a "Leo" or "Taurus" is said to have. If a person chooses to manipulate their personality towards that trait, that's a choice, not a foregone conclusion.  You can test this. Read the types behind signs that are not those of your friends. Do this with an open mind. How many of the things said seem applicable to a friend? It's likely that you'll find many things seem like your friend in the other signs too, precisely because horoscope writing uses generalizations that can apply to all people in some way. It is simply the human desire to fit the pieces according to what we prefer (confirmation bias) that causes us to believe one set of grouped traits is more applicable than another. One of the dilemmas that horoscopes have...
