The dryer isn't the only culprit in your laundry room! Hot water can shrink items, especially over time. If there are any shirts you're worried about shrinking, err on the side of caution and use the cold-water wash cycle. Dry cleaning is generally a better option for these materials. Professionals will know how to protect your clothing better than you can at home. Those tags are there for a reason! Generally, if you stick to what the tag tells you to do, you can avoid damaging or shrinking your clothes. If you're in love with a particular shirt and the way it fits you, take the dryer out of the equation. Even if the tag says it's safe to machine dry, hot air will damage the fibers of your shirt over time. If air drying takes too much time for your lifestyle, set your dryer to a low setting (tumble dry, for example). You can then remove your favorite shirts from the dryer once they're just damp. Lay them out to air dry the rest of the way. This should cut down on damage from the dryer while also minimizing your air drying time.

Before washing your hoodie, determine if a wash is needed. It’s recommended that you wash hoodies after about six or seven wears because as outerwear they don’t dirty as quickly. Washing less frequently prevents added wear and tear. As long as your hoodie doesn’t smell, it’s okay to go a bit between washes.  If you exercise in your hoodie, then you will likely need to wash it more. If you’re questioning whether or not it’s dirty, it’s better to go ahead and wash it. You don’t want worries about a dirty hoodie overshadowing your day. Consider what you’re wearing under your hoodie. The more layers you wear, the less sweat your hoodie encounters. it up. Closing the zipper will protect the teeth so that your zipper continues to open and close easily. It will also protect your fabric, which can snag on an open zipper. Use a safety pin to keep the zipper from sliding back down during the wash.  Take the metal pull of the zipper and fold it up toward the collar of the hoodie. Loop the open side of the safety pin through the hole in the metal pull. Push the pin through the fabric. Close the safety pin. If you want your hoodie to stay soft and vibrant, you need to turn it inside out before washing so the color and texture of the fabric are protected during the wash. Spread out your hoodie and place it in the tub of the washing machine, careful not to ball it up. Prevent extra wear on your hoodie and its zipper by using the delicate cycle. Make sure that you set the washer to “cold” before turning it on to help preserve the color and any graphics that are on the hoodie. As the water flows into the washer, add your soap. Choose a soap that is gentle on clothing, avoiding products that contain bleach. Both liquid fabric softeners and dryer sheets can harm your hoodie. Some fabrics, such as those that are water-resistant, can be damaged by fabric softeners. Keep it simple when washing your zipper hoodie. Because hoodies are thick, they may hold onto detergent. To be sure that your hoodie is free of detergent, rinse it...

Locate the tag on your polo. It will probably be at the collar or on the inner side-seam. Read how to wash your polo and follow these directions exactly. For 100% cotton polos, this will usually mean washing them on a warm water setting. For mixed fabric blends, it is usually safer to go with a cold water setting. It’s also okay to hand wash most polos, as long as you stick with the same suggested water temperature. You really want to avoid shrinking your polos, so make sure that you follow the drying instructions as well. If you machine dry your polos, use the lowest heat setting. It’s better, though, to hang your polo shirts up on a drying rack until they are fully dry. This will keep your shirts looking the best for the longest period of time. Be aware that drying your polos on a rack might make them look more wrinkly. However, this can be quickly fixed with a round of steaming or ironing.

If secure information that only a small number of trusted individuals should know suddenly gets out, there might be some chance that the leak came about as a result of a phone tap, particularly if you have discussed the information over the phone at some point.  This is of particular significance if you are in a position that makes you a valuable person to spy on. For instance, if you have a high-level position in a powerful company with many competitors, you might be in danger of falling victim to the underground information industry.  On the other hand, your reasons for being tapped could also be as simple as going through a messy divorce. Your soon-to-be-ex-spouse might wiretap you if he or she wants to dig up information that could be useful during the divorce proceedings. If you want to test this out, you can do so by confiding a fake piece of information that seems important to someone you know you can trust not to tell. If that piece of information gets out, you know that someone else was listening in. If your home was recently robbed or broken into but nothing of value was taken, that alone should suggest to you that something is odd. Sometimes this can suggest that someone broke into your home for the sake of putting a wiretap on your phone.

Just like your hair and skin color, the color of your iris’ is genetic. That means that unless you break down your genetic code or cell structure, your eye color cannot be changed permanently without surgery. The color of your eyes is determined by the amount of melanin that your iris’ contain: very little melanin gives blue eyes, while lots of melanin gives brown eyes.  Many babies have blue eyes when they’re born, because their body hasn’t created very much melanin yet.  There are genetic mutations which cause some people to have two different colored eyes or both eyes with multiple colors. If you notice that your eyes are changing color on their own - especially from brown to blue - you should seek medical attention immediately. Changing eye color is a symptom of many illnesses, some of which may cause damage to your eyes leading to blindness. Although it may be exciting to have a new eye color, you should always contact an eye doctor if the change happens naturally. Although there are few surgeries available in some parts of the world that claim to change eye color, there is no strictly permanent way to change it. As a result of being genetic, you can only truly change your eye color by using superficial means. Surgery may alter it, but studies haven’t shown how long it actually lasts, and what the long-term health effects are.  Before taking any ‘permanent’ measures, you should always take some time to seriously consider the pros/cons. Test out non-permanent blue eye options before doing something drastic, such as surgery.

Many years ago, most workplaces were made with wood floors, which have some cushioning even though they may seem pretty hard to walk on. However, in modern times, most businesses tend to have floors made from concrete, ceramic tile or marble, which have essentially no cushioning, shock absorbency or insulative properties. Consequently, stand in an area that's covered in more springy material such as wood. If that's not possible, then change positions just for the exercise, which will promote blood circulation and may ease the tension in your feet and leg muscles.  Concrete and ceramic tile will easily transfer cold to your feet which is not good for blood circulation, so stand in warmer areas without cool drafts. If you work outside, find some grass to stand on while plying your trade or waiting for the next task. Anti-fatigue mats are designed to decrease the stress on your feet and legs by providing a cushioned surface to stand on over prolonged periods of time. These mats are typically made of thick rubber, but some are also made of foam, leather, vinyl or even wood. In many cases, your employer will readily supply you with an anti-fatigue mat if you ask because they are proven to reduce the incidence of feet and lower leg problems. Thick anti-fatigue mats can be a minor hazard at the workplace if people trip over them, so always be aware of where your mat and those of your co-workers are located. Take a look around your workplace and see if there's any carpet you can stand on and still be able to do your job properly. Carpet (even the thin, cheap stuff) provides much more cushion than concrete and will help your feet and legs survive the long shifts at work. If there is no installed carpet at your workplace, ask your boss if you can bring a piece from home.  Some businesses that sell carpet will give you a decent sized sample (big enough to stand on) for free. Make sure the underneath side of the carpet doesn't slide too readily on the floor, or else you're at high risk to slip and fall.

Look for a flat spot, especially if you have to squat. If you can’t find a flat spot, at least make sure you’re facing the downward slope to avoid getting in the way of any runoff. It’s not necessary to dig a hole if you’re peeing, although you can if desired. The hole should be about 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) across as well. Use a small trowel to dig the hole or try using a rock or study stick if you don’t have a trowel.  A good rule of thumb is to make sure the hole is at least as deep as your hand is long. If you’re in the woods in the snow, the hole should extend 6 inches (15 cm) below ground level, not just the snow. Squatting as low as you can will make it easier for you to defecate. If your clothes are slightly below your knees, they shouldn’t get in the way.  If you can’t hold a squat, position yourself part way on a rock or log. If you brought these supplies with you, remove them from your toiletry bag. If you don’t have toilet paper, tissues, or wipes with you, look for a smooth leaf (making sure it’s not poisonous) to use instead. If you’re not sure whether a leaf is poisonous or not, it’s best not use it.

Let your mother (and the entire family) know that you've decided to go ahead and get married. And don't wait - when your mind is entirely made up, make the announcement, and keep it positive. Tell your mother privately that you now intend to declare your intentions to all. If there is any further resistance, at this point, you must take a firm, hard stand. Try to be as minimally harsh as possible, but let your mom know, in no uncertain terms, that the time for voicing her disagreeing opinions is now at an end.  For example: Tell your mom, calmly and kindly, "Mom, I understand your concerns, you've made them crystal clear. I've heard you out and I haven't changed my opinion.  We're getting married. I am not asking for your permission, but I would like your blessing. I hope you can give it." At the appointed time, announce clearly, amazingly and happily that you are engaged. Hopefully, Mom will have taken your warning to your heart. As long as mom keeps her mouth shut, be nice. It's all about simply getting along. Your partner hasn't caused this - it is your mother's choice to respond in this way. Your partner deserves to know how you are dealing with it and what it means for the day of the wedding, for future life together. Ultimately, your future spouse needs to know that he or she comes first and that you don't agree with her point of view. Do let your partner know that you still care for your mom and that ultimately, you hope it'll all turn out for the best. That gives both of you an understanding that there is an intention to keep working on your relationship with your mom for the sake of everyone.

No matter what, don't back down. Even if someone says something that makes your opinion look rubbish, keep backing up what you think and saying exactly what you think. Don't go, "Yeah, I guess you're right, man. I stink," or that kind of thing. Keep going. Even if you lose, it'll show people you won't back down and that you stand up for what you believe in. Just make sure you don't give the impression that you are too stubborn to hang around. This can be accomplished through controlled use of facial expressions and verbal language.  Remain polite in your manner, but at the same time don't give too much away about yourself.  You might find that it helps to keep conversations brief and matter-of-fact, without going into personal details.  This will create a sense of mystery and uncertainty for others, when it comes to your interactions with them. Also remember not to appear afraid or intimidated -- as otherwise this will ruin the desired effect. This includes avoiding behaviour such as laughing, joking, and smiling - even if normally these are typical attitudes you show others. If you find this difficult, aim to be as generally emotionless as you can -- within the specific situation you're trying to appear mean/intimidating in -- might help with this. However, expressing negative emotions such as anger bursts or irritability is acceptable -- as these will likely lead to intimidating the person/people on the receiving end. Make sure that you sound confident, tough and sure of yourself. Don't talk so quietly people can't hear you. Talk just a little bit louder than usual, to make sure you're heard. It'll silence people, too. Don't say anything to provoke an argument or that might get you in trouble, but make sure you say what you think in a slightly more tough than usual kind of way. You can always tape record yourself at home to see how you really come off. If it happens that someone has made a bad decision or doesn't look good in some way, plunge ahead and be honest about it with them -- but without being...

When people get depressed, they'll start pulling back from their friends and family. If you want the audience to think you're depressed, put a little more space between you and the other characters on the stage. If you seem like you don't want to hang out like you usually do, people will get the visual message. Instead of standing on stage, sit on the floor, in the corner, and hug your knees. Bonus if you've got a hood to pull up on your sweatshirt. Instead of looking open and excited about what other people are saying, try a grimace. Look like you're trying to solve a complicated math problem at all times, when you're really just listening to people talk. You'll look depressed.  If it helps, try focusing really hard on something complicated or difficult. Try to remember all the lines to your favorite song in your mind to distract yourself. Make a concentrating face. Don't over-do your frown, just furrow your brow and make a face like you're concentrating really hard on something, especially if people are laughing and joking. You shouldn't look like a sad clown, which will be over-the-top and fake looking. You don't want to look like you're acting. The right prop can do a lot to communicate that you're depressed. Try carrying around any of the following depressive signifiers:  Books like "Perks of Being a Wallflower," "The Bell Jar," or "Crime and Punishment," which are about depressives. A cane, as if you expect to need help picking yourself up. An old tattered umbrella, as if you expect it to rain at any moment. A sad-looking tattered stuffed animal, as if you just need it. To get in the right mood for a performance, try listening to sadder, slower, and quieter music than you might normally be used to listening to. This will have the dual function of getting you in the mood to act sad, as well as clueing anyone who's listening in to the fact that you're "depressed."

Body language is very important when it comes to conveying a certain attitude. Making yourself seem as tall and confident as possible will make you seem more intimidating, so be sure to practice good posture. You can even lean forward a bit when communicating with others. Whenever you are sitting, standing, or walking, try and take up as much space as possible. This suggests that you command the space you are in and that you are confident in yourself.  When walking, move with your arms open (swinging, out at your sides, etc.) When sitting, lean back, and keep your arms and legs loose and open. When standing, keep your legs apart and arms out whenever possible. When you are standing in front of or next to others, rest your hands on your hips, and keep your arms open, away from your body. In many contexts, this stance conveys authority and can come across as intimidating. If you physically take up the space that others are trying to move through, they will either have to confront you or move to the side. Most people will want to avoid directly confronting you, and will either ask if you can let them by, or slip by without bothering you. Either way, you will appear intimidating.  Try this technique by blocking hallways, staircases, doorways, etc. If you want to appear especially intimidating, if someone asks if you can please let them by, say something like “Oh, I didn’t notice you there.” When standing, walking, or sitting, cross your arms over your chest. In many contexts, this can appear intimidating or aggressive. Make sure to cross your arms high over your chest, and do so firmly. If you cross your arms over your lower body, or loosely, it might convey nervousness rather than authority. While a smile can convey friendliness and agreeableness, a scowl suggests aggressiveness, anger, or displeasure. This can make people slightly afraid to talk to you, which may be desirable when you want to appear intimidating. Using your fingers to point, especially at people, conveys authority and conviction. In some cases,...

The worst possible position to be in if you are trying to hold your poop is to squat. Sitting isn’t as good for holding your poop in as standing or lying down is, either.  The reason for this is because squatting has long been defined by researchers as the ideal position for defecation. That’s because it applies pressure on the abdomen, encouraging release of the stool. Standing will remove some of the pressure from the abdomen. So will lying down. Even just shifting your position a bit can also help you keep the poop where you want it to stay inside your body until you have a chance to get to a toilet. If you must sit, shift your position in the chair. Pressing your buttocks against a hard area - like a metal chair bottom - might help. Basically, what you are accomplishing here is to apply pressure on the upcoming poop to keep it inside the body. Yes, it's really the best way to do it!  Clenching your butt cheeks will tense your rectum, and, thus, it helps to keep the poop inside. It’s harder to hold in poop if your muscles around your rectum are weak. If your nerves are damaged in that area, you might not even know a stool has come out. See a doctor in such cases. Basically you want to poop before you end up at the place where it will be hard to poop. It’s a good idea to do this to activate the bowels so you empty them. Think ahead!  For example, many long-distance runners face this issue. They feel like they have to poop during the race. Another way to avoid this embarrassing problem is to simply avoid foods high in fiber before the race or event because that causes the need to poop. Gas-producing foods like beans, bran, fruit and salad could also cause the need to have a bowel movement. Try to avoid eating any food within two hours of the event, though, or you will have another bowel movement. There are some studies that have linked coffee drinking to having to poop. Although this is by no means definitively proven, if you drink coffee while trying to hold in poop you will probably have to pee too.  It...

You will need four large posts for the corners. These can be whatever height or distance between that you like, but we recommend 12' long 4x4 beams.  Mark out an even 8’x8’ square where you want the gazebo to go and then dig holes for the posts using a post hole digger. Level the posts in the holes such that 8’ is above ground and the inside corners are 8’ apart. Then, use quick cement to anchor them, making sure that they remain straight and of equal height.  The quick cement should fill ⅔ of the hole around the post and the remainder can be covered with dirt after it sets. Use 6 more 4x4 beams to brace the 3 "closed" sides of the gazebo. The beams will need to be placed perpendicular to the posts, 2 to each side, 2" from the top and bottom respectively (although the distance may need to be adjusted, read full instructions). Secure the beams with two large bolts, placed through the post and into the center of each beam.  This is definitely a two or three person job. At least one person will need to hold the beam while the other attaches the bolts. You may have to pre-drill the bolt holes.  The distance between the two beams will be dependent on whether or not you add windows, and what the dimensions of those windows are if you choose to add them. If adding windows, measure their height, add 1.5”, and make this the distance between the bracing beams. Salvage some old wood and glass windows (six pane or similar). Fit them at the center of each of the three walls and mark their width. Then, create a frame for the window using 1x4s. The height should be the same as the window and distance between the bracing beams (accounting for the width of the frame itself). Nail the frame into position, fit the window in, and set it in place by placing nails on either side.  The nails should stick up by a quarter of an inch. Fit them as close as possible to the window itself so that the window won’t move. Three or four for each side of the window is probably a good enough number. You can seal it with wood glue or caulk if...

This will keep the plant from rubbing against your home's walls, which prevents scratches in your siding. If your shrub currently brushes against your home, measure 6–12 inches (15–30 cm) out and mark the distance you will cut it away from your home. Because plants need water to survive, any shrubs touching your home could cause water damage over time. Cut in smooth, even strokes to keep the shrub's sides even. As you cut, keep the base wider than the rest of the shrub to help the plant look balanced. This will help keep the plant narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. If the plant is widest at its bottom, sunlight will be able to reach the lower branches and maintain the leaves' green color. Avoid cutting too deeply as you work. Remove 1–3 inches (2.5–7.6 cm) at a time, particularly from the base, to prevent trimming away too much. You can always cut more later if you're unsatisfied with the shrub's shape. Try to retain the shrub's natural shape as much as possible to keep it healthy. Check the shrub's overall shape and look for any branches that stick out. If you spot unruly branches or feel that the shrub looks uneven, make adjustments with your shears until the plant looks even and balanced.

Paintings and other wall decorations placed high can make a space look bigger, while placing a painting above a couch and placing tables at either end will make that space look larger. Paintings can also help make a large wall look less blank. Mirrors placed on a wall can make a small space look larger, by reflecting light and creating the appearance of more room in the room. You can effectively double the amount of space it looks like you have! But be careful...mirrors can easily make a room look cheap. Rugs should be sized so that they just fill the area they are placed in. Rugs which are too small or too large can make a room look just that: too small or too large. High curtains will draw the eye up, creating the appearance of higher ceilings. It can also make a room look more proportional if your windows and ceilings are already high. If you want to make a small room look larger, use furniture which is sized down and then avoid items which give it away, such as cups, bowls, or other standard size items. This is the dollhouse effect, where your room will have the appearance of being large and spacious but further away. When placing accessories, or any furniture items, try to use symmetry. This is a quick cheat to making a furniture arrangement look better. Place a table on either side of a couch, a bookshelf on either side of a TV, a painting on either side of a table, etc.

Some children with OCD have obsessions about cleanliness and become afraid of being contaminated, contracting diseases, and becoming ill. They may worry about close person-to-person contact or develop fears of dirt, food, or certain places or things they believe are unsanitary or infectious. Although it can be hard to observe an obsession, you can be on the look out for the compulsions that can result from an obsession with cleanliness:  Your child may avoid certain locations, such as public restrooms, or certain situations, such as social events, because they fear contamination. Your child may become strangely habitual. For example, they may eat the same food over and over again because it is supposedly contamination-free. Your child may begin to impose cleansing rituals on you and other members of your family in an attempt to ensure complete sanitation. Your child may even develop compulsions that seem contrary to an obsession with cleanliness. For example, they may refuse to bathe due to a fear of contamination. Some children with OCD develop obsessions with symmetry and order; they need processes to be “done right” and items to be arranged “correctly.” As a result:   Your child may develop very precise ways of handling, arranging, or aligning objects; they may do this in a highly ritualized way. Your child may become very anxious when items are not arranged correctly; they may panic or believe something terrible will happen. Your child may have trouble concentrating on schoolwork or other things because they are so preoccupied with these matters, which seem so inessential to you. Children with OCD can obsess about themselves or others being harmed. This obsession may manifest itself in a variety of compulsive behaviors:  Your child may become very overprotective toward family members and close friends. Your child may try to make sure everyone is safe by checking and rechecking that doors are locked, appliances are turned off, and no gas leaks are present. Your child may devote several hours a day to...

It is a great way to bond with kids in particular. These however, are purpose built for target shooting of arrows.  The recurve has one string that causes the bow to form a "w" shape.  A longbow is simple bow that forms a "u" shape. If you are a fan of the Hunger Games, note that Katniss uses a recurve bow. Most people will look for an archery organization or shooting range.  Target shooting clubs can be seen by looking at where competitions are held.  Look for a range that holds a target meet in your area. You can also find clubs on the FITA website.  If you want to shoot outside of a range, get expert advice on how to set up a target that does not endanger others. Like anything, archery has some tricks and habits that it is best to learn when you start.  Ask for lessons.  It is best to get a recommendation from a friend.  If you don't know anyone to ask, you can talk to the archery range supervisor about lessons and instructors. Instructors normally provide equipment, thus saving you the risk of buying your own before you know what you want. After a number of lessons, your instructor will aid you in buying your own gear. There are many reasons not to buy equipment right away.  In addition to styles of bow, you want to get the right weight and right draw length.  You can take a guess what you want but many people change their mind once they get used to things.

Using eye contact to flirt with a girl is a great way to get her paying attention to you. Play an eye flirting game.  Glance in her direction and wait for her to look over at you. When she does, turn away and look at something else. Do the same thing again, but this time wait a little longer before turning away. Continue until it’s obvious you’re looking at her and then go up to talk to her. Say something like, “Hi, I just had to come talk to you. I could see how beautiful your eyes are from all the way over there.” If you see a girl your want to pick up in a store, try going up to her and asking for fashion advice. Grab a shirt off the rack and approach her with it. Hold it up to your face and ask her if she thinks it looks good with your eyes. Saying something like this will make her think you appreciate her knowledge and get her to look you in the eyes. Once she gives her answer you can continue the conversation. Try saying “Thanks. Wow, you have beautiful eyes. I bet everything in this store would look good with your eyes!” A great way to pick up a girl at the mall is to be upfront and approach her directly. Directly telling a girl that you find her attractive can be intimidating, but it can also be very rewarding.  Go up to her and say something like, “I’m sorry to interrupt you, but I just had to come over here to tell you how beautiful you are. You light up this entire room with your beauty!" When you approach her directly, be calm and just act like yourself. If you feel awkward, say that. You could tell her, “Hey, I feel awkward saying this, but I wanted to tell you that I think you are incredibly beautiful.” If the girl you want to pick up is with a group of friends, approach the entire group first and then speak directly to her.  You could say, “Excuse me ladies, sorry to interrupt your fun, but I just had to come over here to introduce myself to your friend.” Then, say your approach line to the girl you want to pick up. Next say, “Hi, I’m Matt and I just needed to come tell you that you light up...

around the workplace. Good employees model professionalism by treating others around them with respect. When talking to your office-mates, avoid making any inappropriate or off-color remarks to coworkers or supervisors. Avoid wasting your time joking around, being frequently off-task, or standing around in the common areas instead of at work in your workspace. If this is your first job out of high school or college, it may help to imagine that everyone you interact with is a teacher or professor. Do your job well, stick to the allotted time for lunch breaks, and avoid having any disciplinary marks put on your workplace HR record. As much as it's within your power, avoid arguments or disagreements with other employees. If you do have an in-office conflict, sort it out by talking to your boss and HR department. Frequent absences, missed deadlines, reprimands for unprofessional behavior, or too many complaints from customers may cause you to be dismissed from your job. Punctuality is an important part of being a good employee. It allows you to start your work day on time and will impress your boss and other co-workers who work the same shifts that you do. It's also a good way to show clients that you're a good employee. Coming to work late, on the other hand, shows a lack of interest or motivation, or may show that you're easily distracted from tasks. If you struggle to be on time, try planning to get to work 15 minutes early. That way, even if you're running late for your intended arrival time, you'll still arrive at work on time. Every workplace is different; some supervisors expect you to wear a suit or skirt, while others don't mind jeans and t-shirts. Find out from your boss or the HR department what the company dress policy is. Dressing appropriately shows that you take the work seriously and are dedicated to the job, and it may boost your performance as well. Examples of inappropriate attire for any workplace include: stained or torn clothing, unwashed clothes, and shirts with inappropriate words or...


Стремитесь видеть хорошие качества партнера. Не уходите в оборону при разговоре. Оставайтесь реалистом. Учитесь  активно слушать. Психологическая консультация для пар.

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

Oftentimes, relationships take a turn for the worst because you are only able to spot your partner’s faults. As you work to rebuild trust, attempt to clear up the fog that has been clouding your view. Recount all the wonderful reasons you chose this partner. Challenge yourselves to see the good in each other. Each day for a week, share three things you admire about your partner. Or, express joy for something nice your partner did. Betrayal creeps into a relationship when one or both partners doesn’t feel empowered to communicate. You should be able to share your thoughts, feelings, and opinions without censorship. Improve your communication habits by speaking with “I’” statements.  ”I” statements decrease the chance of your partner getting offended by your words. They allow you to take ownership of any thoughts or feelings you have. These statements usually start with “I feel. For example, you might come home from a party and say, “I felt ignored at the birthday party. I felt like you were talking to everyone but me.” This is much less accusatory than saying “You ignored me at the party!” Sometimes, it hurts when your partner brushes against a weak spot. Maybe you are sensitive about your family and your partner makes a tactless remark. You think “What a jerk!” or “Did she intentionally criticize me?” In order to rebuild your trust, you have to turn the volume down on this defensiveness and start giving your partner the benefit of the doubt.  If you attack everything your partner says, they will start censoring their words around you. That’s the slippery slope before lying and betrayal reenter the picture. Besides, your partner probably has your best interests at heart. Don’t expect everything that comes out of their mouth to be spun in gold. Hold yourself and your partner to realistic standards and your relationship will thrive. As you and your partner begin to communicate more openly and regularly, it can help to refine your listening skills. Listening to your partner when they speak is a great way to show...

. If you are co-dependent on others for your emotional health, lifestyle, or need them to tell you what to do, you are not in control of your life. Learn to solve your own problems and spend time alone to think and reflect. Only ask for help when you really need it, and learn from the people who help you so you can do more on your own next time.  Learn to meet your own needs. Get a job so you can support yourself if you live off of someone else. Then move out, and live on your own. Ask yourself, “What do I want to do today?” and make your own decisions. Think about what you love doing and what you feel passionately about. Don’t rely on others to tell you what to do or like. . Organization is important when you want to take control of your life. If everything is chaos in your head and in your house, then it is difficult to know where to start to solve any messes. Keep everything as neat as possible at home and at work so you don’t have to deal with clutter, and remember to put things back where they should be. Make lists, use a calendar and make decisions often instead of putting everything off.  Read papers, email and mail right away and take action right away, whether that means throwing it out, paying a bill or responding to a letter. Set up a daily schedule throughout the week, such as shopping, family time, appointments, task lists, etc. Throw things out that you haven’t used in six months. Don’t hold on to something because you could potentially use it in the future. Work on one thing at a time, particularly something small like a closet, and organize that first. Then move onto the next thing. Devoting some energy toward the way you appear to others can go a long way to make you feel better and more in control. Get a haircut, dye your hair, or do your hair in a new style. Buy or borrow some new clothes, and be sure to smile as often as possible. Be mindful of how much you spend, though, so you can keep control of your finances. Pay attention to what you eat, how much you eat and try to get some exercise...


Стремитесь к открытому и честному общению. Выбирайте людей, которым можно доверять. Не переносите события из прошлого в настоящее.

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

If you struggle to feel secure in a relationship, practice good communication skills. Ask people to speak directly and honestly to you without using sarcasm. When you speak with others, put most of your energy on listening to what they say and understanding them. If you're unclear about something, ask a question. Overall, be curious in your interactions and avoid jumping to conclusions. If you start to doubt what the person is doing or saying, ask a question. However, don't be accusing. For example, if your partner is going out and you're feeling suspicious, ask, “Do you know what time you'll be back? I was hoping we could spend some time together tonight.” If you generally tend to be untrusting toward people, this likely affects your ability to have friendships and relationships. While it's true some people shouldn't be trusted, it doesn't mean that everyone is not trustworthy. Think about what it costs you when you doubt someone; their time, their presence, their love, and perhaps even their friendship.  For example, if someone calls and says they will be late, then it simply means they are running late and nothing more. Even if there is a pattern of lateness, it doesn't mean they're up to something else based solely on this one trait, however much you dislike it. If you're having a hard time believing someone, say to yourself, “I am choosing to believe they are telling me the truth.” Maybe an ex cheated on you and now you're wary of dating or being with someone new for fear they may also betray you. Living in the past is not a healthy way to direct your present and future behavior. Avoid letting past bad experiences cloud your present judgment, and learn how to stop yourself from falling into automatic suspicious responses whenever a similar situation arises. Rebuilding trust starts with you, not anybody else. Learn from your past experiences and improve your resilience, but use the past like a stepping stone rather than a weight dragging you down.


Стремитесь к открытости и честности в общении. Дайте партнеру время все обдумать. Честно поговорите о будущих перспективах ваших отношений. Поговорите об этом с психологом.

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

Your partner will likely have many, many questions. He or she may want to know what were the circumstances of meeting the other person, and whether it was a long term affair or a short, one night stand. He or she will spend time reflecting upon the past months or years of your life together and wonder about your past actions and motives. Total disclosure detailing all the sexual details or your relationship with the other person is not appropriate when you first tell your mate that you've cheated, but it's important to be forthcoming if your partner asks for details.  Take your time as a couple to process the many questions your infidelity will bring to the surface.  Respond fully and openly to your partner's questions as they come, but expect that new questions will emerge over time. Be mindful of your partner's readiness to hear details even as you fully answer his or her questions.  Never cover up information, but if your partner is not yet asking one type of question -- about your motivation for cheating, for example -- exercise patience.  He or she may have enough information to take on board.  Wait until your partner asks, then carefully provide a transparent response. You've known about your affair for as long as it's been happening.  This painful information is new to your partner.  Even if he or she had suspicions, only now have those suspicions been confirmed. The time it takes a relationship to heal after cheating varies, but expect that this process can easily take 1-2 years. Be realistic -- is forgiveness a possibility?  If you see any hope for your future, commit to do the hard work that will be necessary to restore trust.  When considering your relationship's future, consider the feelings of all those who will be affected by your decision.  If your relationship involves children, for example, the stakes may be higher than they would be for a couple.  Couples married for decades may have relationship networks and shared experiences that bind them more tightly than those who have dated just a few...

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

It has been observed by those both inside and outside of the country that Americans have a penchant for self-education and self-improvement. No one is born knowing how to do everything he needs to know how to do to succeed. To achieve the sort of strong, rugged individualism that is central to the American Dream, it's essential to be willing to better yourself wherever and whenever you get the opportunity. Whether it's learning a new skill, practicing a second language, or studying strategies for business success, almost any avenue of self-improvement can help you become a stronger, more versatile, or more productive person. Below are just a few more ideas for self-improvement:  Physical conditioning (running, weightlifting, etc.) Learning sales techniques Studying modern history or current events Learning a martial art Mastering a hobby or activity Creating art or music Proud, individualistic Americans shouldn't shy away from confronting the world's problems head-on. Doing this often means becoming a leader, taking charge of others while accepting the responsibility that comes with leadership. Having the courage to volunteer for tasks that involve leadership, whether they're big or small, can help you make a difference in the world while earning recognition for yourself.   One great way to become a leader is to run for public office. Doing this gives you a platform to make your views known and, if you win, to fight for the changes you want to see. Even if you don't win, if your campaign attracts enough attention, it can re-frame the public debate or persuade lawmakers to consider your views. You don't have to be a member of government to be a leader in your community. Volunteering for certain types of charitable work or even simply doing community-oriented  work on your own can give you an opportunity to become a leader for others. The United States was founded on the principles of representative democracy. The more people who participate in the process of government by voting, the more truly representative...


Стремитесь к совместным победам. Составьте список преимуществ и недостатков для каждого партнера. Устройте мозговой штурм.  Высказывайте Замечайте недостаток компромиссов.

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

Many times, when couples are in disagreement, each partner tries to prove that he or she is right. Doing this increases the distance between the two of you. Remember that trying to be right can make the relationship lose. Think like a team—each player must contribute to the win. If one player loses, everyone loses.  Compromise provides a chance for the relationship (i.e. both of you) to win rather than just one of you. If you keep this in mind during an argument, you are more likely to reach a solution that benefits the well-being of your relationship. The next time you and your partner are vying to be right, take a breather and consider what being right is doing for the relationship as a whole. Don't allow your pride to weaken your bond with your spouse. Try to reach the resolution that fosters growth and success for the relationship. To reach a mutually beneficial solution, it may be a good idea to take a step back and view the situation more objectively.  Each of you can create a two-column list of pros and cons about the issue, including how the issue aligns with each of your personal beliefs and values. Once you have completed the lists, discuss them aloud to see if the benefits of the decision outweigh the downsides.  Consider that issues that go against one of your personal beliefs may require more compromise from one partner than the other. Try to reach a conclusion that does not require either of you to sacrifice your values. If you are debating a complex issue, you may want to ponder potential avenues over a span of days or weeks rather than jumping to a conclusion. You can hold a brainstorm session listing out all the possible ways you can handle a given problem. You can then go over the list with family members or friends and consider their opinions. Sleeping on the issue and letting it sit for a while may help you to reach a natural conclusion once the emotions die down. For example, imagine your spouse received a promotion that would require a cross-country move. The two of you might weigh the...


Стремитесь к стабильности в жизни. Не поддавайтесь желанию зависеть от него материально. Отстаивайте свою точку зрения. Заботьтесь о своей внешности. Будьте грациозны.

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

The Cancer man typically has his life together, and to some degree, he may expect the same from you. Your accomplishments do not need to be the exact same as his, but your life should demonstrate a certain degree of stability. Show him that you can take care of yourself without him. You should have some direction for your life and be capable of caring for your basic needs. Even though most Cancer males are capable of supporting you materially, it's best to avoid that type of situation. If the Cancer guy in your life has any reason to suspect that you might be after his money, he might cut himself off from you emotionally.  Unless he offers to pay for you on every date, you should take turns or occasionally split the bill. Don't make any demands regarding gifts or things you want him to buy. If he does like to dote on you with various material gifts, you should make sure that you give plenty to him, as well. The gifts do not need to be expensive, but they should show a comparable amount of affection. You might be worried about making your sensitive Cancer man upset if you argue with him, but a healthy argument can actually increase the esteem he holds for you. The key is making sure that your arguments are reasonable and healthy. Don't lash out, aim for his weak spots, or make unfair accusations. When the time comes to reconcile, don't hold back. Generally speaking, Cancer men can be somewhat superficial regarding appearances. You don't need to be a beauty queen, but dressing up for him every now and then can certainly help your cause.  You don't need to do anything extreme, but when you should generally maintain good hygiene, wear a little make-up, and dress in clothes that flatter you. Scent can be another powerful tool. Look for a feminine, flowery perfume, body wash, or shampoo. Make it your signature scent and let him learn to associate it with you. Since Cancer men are sensitive beings, they can appreciate inward beauty as well as outward beauty. Try to go through life in a poised, graceful manner....


Стремитесь к статистической корректности. Оцените каждый уровень ответов отдельно. Разделите вопросы на отдельные категории. Проанализируйте каждый вопрос отдельно. Внедрите изменения на основе своих результатов.

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

Before you can analyze the results of your survey, you need to analyze how accurate and reliable it is.  For small practices, you should aim for about 200 patient responses. When dealing with a practice that has four or more physicians, aim for 50 responses per physician. Response rate is usually 30 to 35 percent for most written surveys. Keep that in mind when determining how many patient surveys to send out. Try to make sure that 30 percent of the total number you send will allow you to meet your minimum number of responses. Consider offering a small incentive for participation. For instance, you can send out your survey link via email to your patient list (be sure it is blind carbon-copied so that patient's privacy is not violated). Mention in the email that at the end of the survey period, one person will be drawn to receive a $50 gift card to a local restaurant, gas station, theater, or grocery store. Depending on your budget, you can include more opportunities to win an incentive, which increases participation. Instead of generalizing responses into broad "positive" and "negative" levels, you need to score each response level of your scoring scale separately.  In other words, responses marked "very good" and "good" should be calculated separately. Don't categorize both as "satisfied." Analyzing the scores this way will provide greater precision. More specifically, you should separate questions into the same content categories used when designing your questions: quality, access, and interpersonal issues.  By analyzing the results in terms of broad categories like these, you can determine if there are certain strengths and weaknesses that need to be addressed and act accordingly based on that. For instance, your quality and access questions might score consistently well, but you may have poor overall interpersonal scores. In that case, you would need to enact changes to help improve the way medical and office staff interact with patients. After analyzing broad categories, you need to look at each...

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

Committing yourself to a fulfilling pursuit means that passion can pick up the slack when you’re not feeling especially driven. This doesn’t necessarily mean to pursue something you find fun 24/7, but it should be meaningful to you. The effort you exert should be on something that will make you proud in the end. Focus on completing the tasks which will benefit you the most in the long run. Learn to identify the difference between “high-value” tasks (that which will benefit you the most in the long term) versus “low-value” tasks (that which may be easier, but will offer much fewer benefits). Follow through on that which you’ve begun. Finishing one project will teach you exponentially more than a dozen fizzled-out attempts, even if you never want to look at that project again. Successful innovators are often lauded and idolized, but it can still be terrifying to pursue the unproven idea. Don’t be afraid of venturing into the unknown—great ideas may be a dime a dozen, but actually putting in the work to pursue a great idea can be extremely rewarding. Networking can easily feel mercenary and shallow when advertised too overtly. Understand that networking is crucial to success in most industries, but that you should never forget that you’re forging connections with other people. You never know when you might form a true bond on an unexpected occasion, and find your next business partner, investor, or employer. Studies have shown that the most successful business people excel in both cognitive and social skills. Don’t neglect your interpersonal skills!


Стремитесь лучше узнать себя. Оцените свои отношения с другими людьми. Ставьте достижимые цели.

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

Think about what drives and motivates you, your likes and dislikes, and your strengths and weaknesses. We tend to look outward to figure out our tastes, ideas, goals, and pursuits, from gossip around the watercooler at work to Facebook posts and Instagram likes in the palm of our hands. But the more you understand yourself on an honest and real level, the easier it will be to like and respect yourself for who you are, rather than who you think you are according to other people, trends and circumstances in your life.  Get a pen and a piece of paper or your journal and consider prompts like, "Things I like", "Who I am right now", and "What would I tell my 99-year-old self?" Write down your answers and then read them over. These prompts should help you delve deeper into getting to know yourself. One-on-one therapy, as well as lifestyle workshops and clinics, can help you develop deeper self-awareness. Investigate the various self-development services available to you in your area, or online. Consider how you interact with the people in your life, from your partner or your loved ones to casual acquaintances and strangers on the street. Your attitude towards others reflects on your sense of self, and good relationships in your life can serve as models for how to be your own best friend. Write down the names of the people you consider important in your life, and why they are important to you. Think about questions like, "Why am I grateful to have these individuals in my life?" and "What would these individuals say at my funeral?" Rather than rely on others to set goals and expectations for you, create and set reasonable goals for yourself. These goals can range from small changes in your life like doing the dishes and organizing your space to larger and more challenging ones like taking a public speaking class or applying for a desirable new position or career role. By setting yourself up so you meet your expectations, you can take control of what you expect from yourself and feel good when you achieve each goal. ...

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

If you find that you regularly irritate others, you might want to work on changing parts of your behavior. Start by thinking more positively. If your thoughts are positive, you are more likely to behave in an optimistic and approachable way. Every evening, think of three good things that happened today. Cultivating an attitude of gratitude can help you feel better and share these good feelings with others. An instructor can help you better identify the behaviors you need to work on and what you can do instead. You will be able to practice communicating well in a positive environment with other students who are trying to improve.  Look online for classes, seminars, or workshops in your area. You may be able to take a class at your school. Check with local therapists to see if they offer group workshops. A common reason that people get irritated is when they are treated rudely. Try to always use good manners so that you don’t upset someone. Don’t interrupt, always say please and thank you, and greet people in a friendly way. You can also be polite by respecting other people's’ personal space.  Be attentive to others. Show that you are listening by maintaining eye contact (or looking at them) and asking questions when appropriate. . Pay attention when they talk about how they feel, and take their emotions seriously. People deeply appreciate people who make them feel heard and understood. Making a habit of validating people's feelings can go a long way to helping them feel comfortable around you, and helping them enjoy spending time with you. It can be really irritating if someone is constantly talking about themselves. If you've realized that you are guilty of this, figure out some ways to correct the problem. For example, ask other people questions about themselves. If you're talking about how much you loved Breaking Bad take time to ask the other person what their favorite show is.   If you notice you've been talking about yourself a lot, pause and ask a question about the other person, such as "So how has...

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

Communication is vital to good leadership. You need to communicate your expectations clearly, whether you're explaining a single project or reminding the entire team about the company's policies.  Make sure you take the time to get to know all of your employees, and let them know that you are available to talk to them whenever necessary.  Communication involves listening as well as talking, so be open to listening to whatever input your employees have for you. When you give workers your undivided attention, they feel respected and are more willing to listen to your guidance. Strictly giving orders without listening can erode worker commitment and enthusiasm. Avoid lecturing workers or sending directives by way of wordy emails. Think about the most important messages you want to convey and communicate them face-to-face or over the phone. Put thought into your email communications to ensure that they are clear, concise, and respectful. Regular meetings with employees will give you the opportunity to ask them about the projects they are working on, hear worker grievances and triumphs, discuss team successes, and brainstorm solutions to new problems. Always be responsive by answering your employees' emails and returning their calls promptly.  Multitasking is very convenient in today's busy world, but sometimes it just doesn't work. Let your employees know that you value their time by putting all distractions aside when you meet with them. You can't expect perfection out of your team, so be careful about over-criticizing or setting goals that are beyond reach. This will only discourage your employees.  You can still expect excellence out of your employees, as long as that excellence is actually attainable.  Take the time to talk to your employees about your expectations and get their feedback. If you encourage an honest discussion, your employees are more likely to let you know if your expectations seem unreasonable. You should have a good understanding of the work volume that already exists and the amount of time...

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

Compromising means that you come up with a solution that both people can feel okay about even if neither gets exactly what he or she wants.  A compromise is a good way to defuse a dispute or to address a family problem.  The first step is trying to figure out whether the problem is solvable. That depends on the nature of the problem, and what’s already been done to solve it. If you’ve tried and tried and keep getting the same result, that may be different. But consider what points of common ground you have with the other person, and what points you would be willing to give in on.  If you don’t give in on anything, you’re less likely to make headway in the dispute. One technique to develop compromise is for both people in the dispute to sit down and draw two circles that relate to the family problem. In the first circle, write down everything you’re not willing to compromise on. In the outer circle, write down the areas where you are willing to bend. Then, share the circles. There are some families that don't function well as a group. We've all been in dysfunctional groups where there's a negative dynamic at play. Sometimes, this comes out when everyone's together.  Instead of broaching painful family problems at holiday gatherings or a big family dinner, try to figure out who the conflict is really between. If it's between you and one other family member, the rest of the family may feel very uncomfortable being dragged into it, because no one likes to be forced to take a side. Instead, ask the family member in question to meet you for lunch or coffee. Talking one-on-one in a neutral space can be a much better way to redress whatever grievances you have or they might have. People will say things individually that they would hesitate to say in a group. Don’t try talking to the family member when you’re distracted, working on a big work project, fielding a bunch of phone calls, doing the dishes, or the like. Instead, put everything down to focus on the issue and them. Although a lot of disputes can be handled...

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

Being present will lead to greater authenticity because you'll be able to fully focus on the experiences, conversations, and interactions you're having in the present moment. The people you're engaging with will be able to tell you're engaged and present, and will perceive this as a sign of personal authenticity. On the other hand, inauthentic people are inclined to let their minds wander during interpersonal interactions. In interpersonal settings, this behavior can be perceived as insincere or rude. Intuition is the inner voice or gut reaction which helps you make decisions and informs your behavior. In terms of ethical decisions, your personal intuition can also form a “moral compass” to help guide you in making personal decisions. Following your intuition will help you make consistent decisions and act in a stable way, rather than making decisions based on what you perceive to be popular opinion or social expectation. your thoughts and feelings. Talk about your opinion when it matters to you. Authentic people are comfortable speaking their mind and communicating when they have a problem or are appreciative of something. If you feel inhibited to speak your mind, or realize that you frequently only say what you think those around you expect to hear, you're likely behaving in-authentically. For example, express gratitude to those around you. Try saying something like, “Mom and Dad, I wanted to say thank you for helping me with my car payments last month. I know money is tight, but the extra cash made a big difference for me.” Genuine people accept that they aren't perfect and ask for help when needed. Authenticity is not the same thing as perfection. Asking those around you for help is a sign of humility and authenticity, and shows that you respect the skills and talents of the people in your life.  For example, if you've been struggling with your mental health and a friend is a professional counselor, ask them if they can recommend an associate who you can contact for counseling or therapy. Or, if you have...


Стремитесь получить прощение у людей, которым вы причинили боль своими поступками. Покайтесь в дурных поступках. Стремитесь воздерживаться от повторения своего проступка.

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

Although sin ultimately breaks relationship with God, other people are often hurt, too. When you know that God has forgiven you, it’s important to seek forgiveness from others. Tell the person you are sorry you hurt them and ask them to forgive you.  Remember that you can’t make someone forgive you, and you can’t earn it from them. They will either accept that you are sorry for what you did and forgive you, or they won’t. Don’t pester them if they refuse to forgive. You can’t make them change. Once you have apologized and asked for someone’s forgiveness, you must release yourself from the guilt. Even if they don’t forgive you, you’ve done your part in seeking to make amends. Once you are forgiven by God for your sin and by others for any hurt you caused, you must turn away from that sin. Make a conscious decision that you will not purposefully commit the same sin again after being forgiven.  You must remember that you will always sin again, but it’s important to say in the moment that you are turning away. The only way to get further from habitual sin is to tell yourself you are not going to do it again. Acts 2:38 is helpful in this process. It says, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Forgiveness is an important step, but walking away from sin is necessary, too, to remain close to God. Part of your goal in following Christ is to move further from sin, and this takes committed work. You won’t stop sinning immediately, but if you work on it, you will grow stronger. In Matthew 5:48, God calls you to become perfect, as he is perfect. It’s a goal that you must work toward.  Find people who can help you avoid repeated sins. Learn scripture to combat temptation. Remember that sin only harms and you don’t need it. Spending time reading your Bible, praying to God, and talking with other Christians are all vitally important to living a life that is free of sin.

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

One of the best ways to like your current boyfriend is to get to know more about him. There are things about him that you already know and like (or else you wouldn't be with him), but there's probably a lot about him that you don't know yet. Learning more about your boyfriend's interests, hobbies, quirks, etc. will make it a lot easier to like him even though you still love your ex.   Learn what things you have in common. For example, while you may know that you both still watch cartoons, you might not know that you both really enjoy classic Disney cartoons. Find out what you can learn from him. Your boyfriend might be really good at painting, something you have always wanted to learn. Discover what makes him smile and laugh, what upsets him, and what his fears, hopes, and dreams are. Your new boyfriend will make mistakes, but you shouldn't hold these against him. Don't use his small mess-ups as a reason to not like him. Unless he is doing something that you consider a deal-breaker, cut him a little slack.  No one is going to have all of the qualities you are looking for or do things the way you prefer all of the time. Don't expect him to know all your likes and dislikes yet. The relationship is still new, so give him time to get to know you. When he does make a mistake, avoid telling him he is acting like your ex (or how your ex would have handled it better). That can hurt him and make him mad. It's hard to like someone you don't have respect for. So, to like your boyfriend, respect him. Value him as a person, as well as his presence and his opinion. Treat him like he is important to you when you are alone and in public.   You can show your boyfriend respect by not bringing up your ex a lot or doing things that indicate that you still love your ex. Show respect for your boyfriend and your current relationship by acting like you are in a relationship (not like a girl trying to get over her ex), spending time with your boyfriend, and getting to know him. Comparing your current boyfriend to your ex is not a...

If you work with children in a school setting, you will get the best results by teaching children to participate. Ask questions often. When children are involved, they are more likely to be focused and attentive. Children are most likely to stay focused if you speak clearly and slowly (but not too slowly!) and avoid using foreign words or vocabulary that’s too advanced for the grade level. Everyone struggles to pay attention when faced with something basically incomprehensible, and children are no exception. If children stop paying attention or wander off, it’s fine to raise your voice to call them back to attention. However, you don’t want to scream at children, and you don’t want to overuse the technique – children will simply tune you out. For young children, it can help to have a non-verbal way to call them to attention. Clapping your hands works well, as does snapping your fingers or ringing a bell.


Стремитесь узнать интересы и увлечения девушки. Запоминайте шутки, понятные только вам двоим. Проводите время в спокойных и ненапряженных условиях. Поддерживайте девушку в трудные минуты.

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

Ask about her likes and dislikes and find out what you have in common. Actively listen to her when she talks about her passions to show that you’re sincerely interested in getting to know her.  When you talk in person, hold eye contact and make gestures to show you’re actively listening, like nodding your head or saying “Uh-huh.” Be sure to give her your full attention when you’re having a conversation with her. Don’t play on your phone or text other people while she’s talking!  It’s great if you like the same music or share a hobby, but keep in mind you don’t need to enjoy everything she likes. Be yourself instead of saying you like something just because she’s into it. Share what you have in common and respect your differences. Inside jokes develop naturally, so try to be patient. When something makes you both crack up, take a mental note of it. Bring it up every now and then when you see her and have a good laugh together. Sharing jokes and laughing together can help you strengthen your connection. Keep in mind you don’t want to play an inside joke out so much that it becomes stale. If a silly word or catch phrase makes you both laugh, you don’t need to bring it up every other minute. You could take a stroll in the park together or go for a bike ride. If you have dogs, ask her if she'd like to walk them together. In addition to hanging out one-on-one, you could also hang out with friends, which can help you spend time together without putting too much pressure on yourselves.  When you first start hanging out, you might be nervous or feel awkward. Low-pressure situations and going out together with friends can help you get more comfortable being around each other. Other good date options include fun, exciting activities that you both enjoy. You could, for example, go skating, play arcade or video games, or go to an amusement park. If she’s sad or angry, let her vent her feelings. Give her advice if she wants to hear it; if she just needs to blow off steam, lend her your ear. In addition to having fun...

Bite as hard as you can at any body part that comes near your mouth. A “pinch” bite, where you have a thin amount of skin between your teeth, often causes more pain that biting an entire mouthful of flesh would. You may feel squeamish about biting down hard enough to break the skin, but don’t hesitate to do so. You want to cause your attacker enough pain to gain yourself time to run away. If your attacker pins your arms down to your side, use your legs, feet, and head to attack them rather than trying to wrestle your arms free. Similarly, if your attacker has your legs immobilized, use your arms, hands, torso, and head to attack them. This uses your energy to defend and attack rather than tiring you out from trying to free other limbs. Obviously, do whatever you can to get free, but try to focus on being on the attack and causing harm to your abductor. feet, shins, crotch, throat, and eyes. These areas are the most likely to cause enough pain to stun and momentarily stop your attacker. Stomp on feet and toes, scrape your shoes down the person’s shins, punch their throat or grab their windpipe, knee or punch them in the crotch, and stick your fingers into their eye sockets. The goal of fighting your attacker isn’t to win the fight. It’s to gain time to get away. So as soon as you can, break away from the person and start running and yelling. Many things can be turned into weapons, so feel around you and grab what you can to lob at your attacker. Keys can be used to cut someone, books can be thrown at someone’s head, and bricks or other things you might find on a sidewalk could seriously injure your attacker and let you get away. If you wear heels, you could even take off your shoe and use that as a weapon. Remember, you’re not trying to win a fight; you’re trying to save your life. As soon as your abductor is injured or stunned, start fleeing and yelling. Don’t look back, as that can slow you down. Just keep running until you get to safety. Call the police as soon as you are able to. They may be able to go...

Meltdowns can be frightening, but remember that your sibling is simply trying to find balance. The best you can do for them at these times is talk to them gently and be respectful, and engage them in a calming routine that your family can practice for just these situations.  For instance, if you ask "Do you want a hug?" and your sibling says no, don't hug them. Your sibling still loves you and needs you, but might not be able to handle human touch at the moment. It's not personal. Don't hold on to your anger. It is natural to get angry at times with your sibling. Everyone in the history of siblings has done it. The key is to remember that you love them. Pay attention to what has led up to the meltdown, so you can help your sibling in the future. Autistic people meltdown when they feel overwhelmed, so chances are good that the signs for the meltdown were noticeable before it happened—you just have to recognize those signs. Your sibling isn't a toddler having a tantrum—they are just someone struggling with communicating in the ways you are familiar with. At times they may say inappropriate or tactless things, and their stimming may seem strange to you.  Remember that they almost always mean well, and try not to take odd actions personally.

Your feelings of stress are connected to the “fight or flight” response that humans have experienced since our earliest ancestors were running away from sabre-tooth tigers.  Even if modern stressors are not typically so life-threatening, your body responds in a similar fashion. When a potentially dangerous or challenging situation arises, your body releases hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which give you increased energy and focus, among other changes.  In small doses, these changes can help you accomplish tasks more successfully.  If you are stressed too much and too often, however, they can damage your health. How do you explain to someone what it feels like to experience stress — say, when you realize the term paper that you haven't started is due tomorrow?  A pounding heart?  Sweaty palms?  Trouble catching your breath?  An inability to focus, or perhaps instead an extreme focus?  Stress is a unique experience for each person, but there are some common physical symptoms.  The release of hormones in a stress reaction can cause, among other changes:  an increased heart rate and breathing rate; increased blood pressure and metabolism; increased blood flow to major muscle groups (arms and legs, for instance); dilated pupils, enabling you to see more clearly; profuse sweating (to cool the body); and a burst of energy caused by the release of stored glucose (your body's fuel). These changes are natural and beneficial if they enable you to focus on and complete an important task (like that term paper).  Feeling stressed too often, however, can have negative physical consequences. In the short term, after the burst of energy that stress gives you, you may feel more tired or irritable. If you experience too much stress too often, you will begin to notice more significant long-term changes in how you act and feel.  Long-term effects of excessive stress in teens can include: anxiety; depression; insomnia; digestive problems; reduced immune response (more colds and illnesses); constant bad mood; trouble...

Prune your rose bush as soon as the weather starts to warm up—usually right after the last frost so that your rose bush is not damaged by the cold. During this time, the buds should start to swell.  You can determine the expected last frost date by using the Old Farmer's Almanac website. Input your zip code into the field at https://www.almanac.com/gardening/frostdates. Check the rose bush for signs of new leaf growth and if the buds are starting to grow red in color. For most people, this means pruning in the early spring. Pruning dead and unnecessary branches will allow the center of your rose bush to grow healthier. Rub the shears with ethanol or isopropyl alcohol to sterilize them before you start pruning. Cleaning and sterilizing your rose bush will prevent it from getting diseased. Make sure that your shears are sharp or you could cause damage to the bush. Make your cuts right above an outward facing bud, or a thorn that is facing away from the center of the plant. Avoid cutting in a straight line. Cutting at a 45-degree angle will help the cane heal quicker and prevent water from pooling on the cut. Cut off the all the dead and diseased looking canes in your rose bush, because it can spread to the rest of your plant. Cut dead or diseased branches down to the crown of the bush. Diseased branches will often have spots or look withered or dying.  You can tell that a cane is dead or diseased if it has dead leaves and is “woody,” characterized by a dried and brown appearance. Dead branches will be brown, rather than green in the center when you cut them. Prune canes that are crossing or branches that are growing outward. Pruning the canes surrounding the center of the plant allows for better exposure to the sun. A healthy, fully grown rose bush typically has 4-7 healthy, vertically growing canes. Cut off the top portion of growth during the early spring. This will allow your rose bush to grow and bloom new flowers during the new blooming season. Cut off all the branches towards the top of the bush so that...

Nails grow about 1/10 of an inch (2.5 mm) every month, meaning that it takes 3-6 to grow a full nail. If you cut your nails frequently—say, once each week or two—you won't need to worry about them growing too long or too wild. If your nails begin to hurt at the edges, you might be developing an ingrown nail; try to trim away the painful growth before it goes too deep, but it would be wiser to seek a health care professional. The goal here is to remove the "free edges" of your nails: the opaque, off-white crescents that grow at the tips of your nails. Cut the nails almost completely straight across, and round them a little at the corners to keep the nails strong. Cutting the nail straight will reduce your chance of developing ingrown nails. If you are a finger-style guitarist, consider leaving the nails long on your picking hand. Keep at least 1/16th inch (1.5 to 2 mm) of nail on each finger of your picking hand. It can be tempting to keep on trimming your nails (for the sake of convenience, aesthetic, or compulsion) even after you've removed the "free edge". If you trim too deeply, however, you will expose the sensitive skin beneath the nail, and you may increase your risk of infection. Try to keep the ends of your nails even with the top of your finger – or remove all but a tiny sliver of the opaque "free edge".

The brand and type of treatment you choose should provide you with precise instructions on how to apply your keratin treatment. Make sure to read and follow all directions and safety precautions. If your product instructions differ from these instructions, always follow the directions provided by the manufacturer of your product. Wear gloves and old clothing or a smock. Take a section of your hair and apply the treatment product, starting with a small amount and increasing until the hair is coated but not overly saturated. Use a fine-tooth comb or a hair coloring brush to work the product into each section, from your roots to ends. Clip up each section when you finish it. Cover your hair with a shower cap. Allow the product to remain on your hair as long as the directions require. Remove your hair cap and clips. Don’t rinse out the product unless the instructions advise you to do so. Blow dry your hair with the product still in. Use the hot or cold setting on your blow drier, depending on which one your product recommends. Set the flat iron to the temperature recommended by the product instructions for your particular hair type. When your flat iron reaches the correct temperature, straighten your hair in small sections (about one to two inches thick). You may want to clip up sections of your hair beforehand or as you finish straightening them. Using a flat iron that is too hot may scorch your hair and cause breakage.

When your doctor writes you a prescription for antibiotics, they will give you specific instructions regarding how to take the medication. Following these instructions exactly can help to reduce your chances of developing stomach pain, as your doctor will most likely give you tips on how to avoid this unpleasant side effect.  Your instructions may include a specific time that you should take the antibiotics so that they will have the least effect on your stomach. Unless the label indicates otherwise, store your antibiotics in a dark, dry place. Some antibiotics may need to be stored in the refrigerator. If so, store your medicine in the fresh food compartment. Never freeze your antibiotics. Some antibiotics are meant to be taken with food. This is because the food acts as a neutralizer or shield against the antibiotics, protecting your stomach from gastrointestinal distress. If your instructions include taking your antibiotics with food, make sure to do so every time you have to take your medication or else you may end up with an upset stomach.  Some antibiotics are meant to be taken on an empty stomach. These sorts of antibiotics include ampicillin and tetracycline. You should not take food with these drugs because the food affects the speed at which these medications can act upon your body. If need to take your antibiotics on an empty stomach, it's best to take them before breakfast, Set an alarm for yourself if you need help remembering. Some antibiotics may cause stomach pain when taken certain foods. For example tetracycline may result in stomach pain when taken with dairy products. To avoid stomach pain when taking tetracycline (or its counterparts, doxycycline and minocycline), stay away from dairy products for the length of time you're taking the antibiotic. Be precise in your taking of your antibiotics; do not underdose, overdose, or double dose. While underdosing will have less of an effect on the bacterial infection you are trying to fight, overdosing can increase the potency of the drug, making it...

. This can be with family or friends you already have, but it can also be with new people. Either way, take the time to build close relationship with others. This is one great way to add meaning to your life because these relationships are deep, and provide benefit to you as well in the form of love and support. Some ways to strengthen your relationships include:  Become a great listener. Instead of waiting for your turn to talk, or checking your phone while someone is speaking, turn your focus onto that person and what he is saying. Show you are listening by nodding, asking follow-up questions, and repeating things back to them (like "So, what you're saying is..."). Learn healthy ways to express your emotions. Knowing how to manage your anger can help prevent you from yelling, snapping, or engaging in abusive behavior with others. Show that you are trustworthy. When you say you are going to do something, follow through and do it. Tell the truth, be consistent, and if you're wrong, own up to it. Sometimes having close relationships with people can be very challenging. There can be many reasons why they are difficult, but one reason is that people who are close to you often challenge you to open up, or to reflect on your beliefs.  Despite the stress that these relationships might bring from time to time, research has shown that, unless they are physically or emotionally abusive, they are important for developing a sense of meaning.  Consider family or couples therapy to help you work through problems with family or significant others. A therapist can act as a mediator and help you communicate in healthy, productive ways. Learn to set boundaries. Setting healthy boundaries is a way to protect yourself and improve your sense of self.  Communicate assertively. Being assertive doesn't mean aggressive — it means you are stating your needs while still respecting the needs of others. The Dalai Lama said: "Compassion is what makes our lives meaningful."Sometimes this is easy, but many times it is a challenge. When you...

Commitment phobes are notorious for being hard to pin down for invitations and plans. Challenge yourself to agree to dates planned a week out in advance -- or whatever is outside your comfort zone -- and do not cancel. Don’t say, “I’ll try to stop by” or “I might be able to make it.” Say, “Yes, I’d love to come,” and keep your word. If you have a tendency to sleep around, understand that your behavior may be the result of a search for an intimate connection with someone. The next time you have a desire to reach out to a friend with benefits, try connecting with a friend for a real conversation instead. Call a friend you trust and suggest meeting for coffee, for a drink, or for another activity where you can talk. Don’t set other people up for disappointment. If you have no intention in pursuing a relationship with the other person, do not lead them on.  Say you are talking to someone at a party. They say, “Hey, maybe we can get together sometime!” You know that you are not really attracted to the person and are not interested in pursuing a relationship. You could say, “I’m not really interested in dating right now, but thank you,” or “That’s so nice of you to offer, but I am working on some personal stuff right now.” Often, people with commitment issues do not pursue people they really like because they are afraid of the rejection, as well as the potential for a relationship. Instead, commitment phobes often find themselves having flings with people with whom they share few common interests, or people with whom they do not see a future.  Pursue a person with whom you share common values. If you want to develop a genuine relationship with someone, you need to make sure you share some common foundations upon which to build your relationship. These may be things like a shared culture or faith, the value you place on your careers or family, or character traits you both value in others.  Take a risk and put yourself out there for the person you really like. While a “no” can be painful and feel like a setback, you...

Once you’ve tested to see how interested a girl is in hanging out by making open-ended invitations, you may be ready to make specific plans. Ask her to hang out at a certain time doing a certain activity. Never pressure her to make a decision, but try to make specific plans. Say:  “Do you want to go to this concert next weekend?” “How about lunch tomorrow?” “Wanna go to the football game on Wednesday?” Trying to make spontaneous plans can seem like added pressure, but since they’re so last minute, the sting of rejection may be lessened. It’s totally understandable if someone can’t drop what they’re doing to hang out. Strike up a conversation with the girl you want to hang out with and say something like:  “Do you want to grab some coffee?” “Hey, are you hungry? I was about to grab a bite to eat. Do you want to go with?” “The weather is awesome! Let’s go for a bike ride!” If you really want to hang out with a girl, you should make the process as simple for her as possible. She could have a busy schedule, so give her choices on times, days and things-to-do. Tell her about something you’d like to do that sounds cool and talk about different days you could get together. Vary the activities you suggest in case she wants to do one thing more than the other. Say:  "This new movie looks so funny. Could you watch it Thursday or Saturday? There's another good movie coming out too, I think." "A street festival is going on next weekend, but I think some food trucks are going to be at the art's district this weekend." "My favorite band is coming to town next month! There's a new sushi spot opening soon too."

God will hear your prayers whether or not you are following Him, but He is more likely to answer those who are close to Him. If you’ve never started reading God’s Word and following Jesus, that’s a good step before you ask  Him for something. Learn to listen and obey what He asks of you.  This is not to say that He won’t grant your request if you aren’t a follower. It simply means that you’ll be better able to communicate with Him if you have a relationship with Him. Think about the difference between a stranger and your best friend. If a friend asks to borrow some money or a stranger on the street asks, you’d be more likely to give to your friend. It’s not a perfect comparison, but it’s similar. When you come to God in prayer, don’t go straight to asking for something. It is better to praise Him and thank Him for what He has already done. Praise Him for being loving and mighty. Thank Him for guiding you and blessing you. Beginning this way shows God that He is more than someone you ask for things.  Praise and thanks must be genuine, not a tactic to butter God up so you can ask for what you want. You must really mean what you pray. Start by saying, “God, it’s amazing how well you have taken care of me and provided for me. I’m thankful that you are strong and that you never turn away from me.” After you have a relationship with God, it is important to make sure you’re on good terms with Him. If you are living in ongoing sin, or you’ve committed sins recently, you are separated from God. You must confess those things and turn away from them. This will mend the broken connection with God.  The reason this is important is that sin means going against what God wants from you. When you sin, you separate yourself from God. To confess and repent simply means to tell God that you know you have sinned, that you are sorry, and that you want to change. Pray to God, “I’m sorry I was so rude to my neighbor. I know you love him too, and I should treat him as you want me to. I will work harder at being patient and kind to...
