Article in English: Diatomaceous earth is an ingredient in most of the bombs aimed at bed bugs; the shards of the shell (or powder) are microscopically sharp and puncture the thin, waxy, exoskeletons of these night-feeding demons, causing them to dehydrate and die, our eventual goal in all of this. You may also want to consider wearing more clothing when you sleep as well; and ladies, pull your hair back or put it in something because they will crawl into loose hair. Anything you can do to prevent them from getting to you, do it! Although bedbugs don't carry disease, and for most people, the bites are unnoticeable, for some they itch, and itch, and itch. Bedbugs can bite you anywhere. In fact, the small blood stains left as a result of rolling over and killing them is often what makes a lot of people realize they have a bed bug infestation in the first place. One place you may want to look at closely is in the folds of the bed-skirt. The last of them should die off in about a week, possibly two. But it may happen sooner than that; it all depends on the severity of the infestation.

Summary in Russian:

Засыпьте пищевой диатомит в трещины, отверстия, щели и любые другие сухие проходы, через которые клопы могут пробраться в ваш дом. Пока вы избавляетесь от этих маленьких паразитов, каждую ночь перед сном наносите на кожу спиртовой раствор, если это не приводит к раздражению кожи. Убивайте клопов, как только видите их, и будьте готовы к кровавым пятнам на вашей кровати и к частой смене постельного белья.


Article in English: Did you enjoy your last job or position? Or do you feel like you might want to try a different career? Consider how happy you were in your former position and if you may be happier doing something else. If you are thinking about a career change, its important to make a list of the skills you gained in your previous position. For example, if you worked in an admissions office, but now want to get into sales, you have valuable people skills and communication skills. These are your transferable skills.  If you aren’t sure what your transferable skills are, you can do a self-assessment test. Look up career assessment tests online. You can also do a self-assessment on your own. Think about what would be the best next step in your career and what would make you happy. Consider why an employer would want to hire you and what skills you can offer an employer. This may be updating your resume and your online profile. You may also focus on attending business get togethers to network. Let everyone you know that you are in the job market again and work every contact you have. It can be a challenge to build up your confidence again after being fired. But conducting a job interview on yourself can help you get more comfortable with marketing your skills to potential employers. Ask yourself questions like:  What are my weaknesses? This is the most common interview question and one of the most difficult to answer. Focus on professional development, rather than personal issues or faults. Include a solution to your weakness in your answer. For example: “I am working on getting better at public speaking, and just joined Toastmasters to work on this weakness.” Why should someone hire me? Summarize your experiences into one sentence. For example: “With over five years’ experience working in the sales industry and my proven record of selling products, I could make a big difference in your company.” What are my goals? Focus on short term goals and goals you can achieve in the next year. For example: “My immediate goal is to get a...

Article in English: Did you install a piece of software, plug in a new piece of hardware, download custom drivers, or change the settings? If so, the recent change you made is probably the reason for the Blue Screen of Death, so repairing it will depend on that change. If you've been running your computer on high-performance settings for several hours—especially if the computer doesn't have adequate circulation or if you live in a particularly warm environment—the Blue Screen of Death can appear. If so, turn off your computer the first chance that you get and leave it off for a few hours. If this is the first time you've encountered a Blue Screen of Death on your computer, you can run your PC's Blue Screen troubleshooter to try to diagnose the issue:  Open Start. Click Settings. Click Update & Security. Click the Troubleshoot tab. Click Blue Screen. Click Run the troubleshooter. Review the resulting solutions and follow any on-screen instructions. Things like USB flash drives, Ethernet or HDMI cables, controllers, printer cables, SD cards, and so on can be removed from your computer without impacting the computer's performance. Furthermore, flaws in hardware items such as these can trigger a Blue Screen of Death and continue to trigger it until they are removed. You can typically keep your mouse and keyboard plugged into your computer, especially if they came with the computer itself when it was brand-new. Once the Blue Screen of Death appears, Windows will diagnose the problem, attempt to fix whatever the issue is, and then restart. If your computer restarts like usual and doesn't run into a Blue Screen error again, you can make some changes right from your desktop. If the BSOD appears again while your computer is attempting to restart, check its error code. If the error code is 0x000000EF, you should immediately skip ahead to the next part. If not, try rebooting in Safe Mode. . While rare, sometimes viruses can trick your computer into thinking that it's malfunctioning, which can in turn cause the BSOD crash.  If the virus...

Article in English: Diet and exercise actually play a role in the health of your brain as well. If you want to keep your brain in peak condition, eat a healthy diet rich in protein and omega 3 fatty acids to keep your brain physically fed. Drink water as much as you can. Physical exercise can also keep your body healthy, reducing the chance of stroke and increasing oxygen saturation levels. Learn exercises or how to play new games to increase your hand-eye and body coordination. Tai-chi and pinball are both examples of this. Scientists are actually discovering that sleep plays an absolutely vital role in keeping your brain healthy. While you sleep, your body cleans toxins out of your brain (in addition to making repairs).  If you want to protect your brain, make sure you get a full night's sleep as regularly as possible. Try commuting with varied routes, to prevent the brain from feeling too neglected as the result of a monotonous day. You can also change how you work, by introducing an exercise ball or other factor into how you work.

Article in English: Different dogs have different needs, but almost every dog will need the following: an insulated, dry space that he can call home whether it's hot or cold. Pay attention to these factors when building a dog house:  Think about insulation. Remember that the base builds the foundation for the whole house and creates a space of air between the ground and the floor that acts as insulation for the house. A house without a base is cooler during the cold months and warmer during the hot months. Consider the specific elements that might affect the base in your outdoor environment. If it rains often in your area, make sure to use a non-toxic, water-resistant material and build the base high enough off of the ground to prevent flooding. Cut 2x4 wood boards into four pieces, with two at 22-1/2" long and two at 23" long for a medium-sized dog. Use a countersink drill bit to pre-drill pilot holes. Then attach the base pieces together using two 3” galvanized wood screws in each end. The dimensions are 26" by 22-1/2" for the above sized frame.

Article in English: Different kids will enjoy different types of clues. Usually, the biggest thing to think about is the difficulty of the hunt and tailor it to the right age. Some other considerations include:  The age of the children; you have to ensure that the intellectual level is directly suited to the children participating. The amount of time the treasure hunt should take; younger children will become bored and irritated easily once they become bored. Whether or not any of the kids have food allergies, or want special treats. You want enough room to let the kids roam, but not enough to let them get lost. For younger kids, it may help to do the hunt as a group, or with adult "buddies," if you want to move around a wider area without getting confused or lost.  For kids aged 2-4, have the treasure hunt inside a home familiar to them. This should be a small and supervised area. For kids aged 5-8, have it inside and outside of a home. Again, this needs to be supervised and if outside; separate from the public. For kids aged 9-12, have it at a location such as a school or park. This allows children to be more independent. For teens, have the hunt go all around a small town or farmer's market, or a big, wide-open field. There’s a lot more to a treasure hunt than sending a bunch of kids off willy-nilly. The most amazing hunts usually have some common thread throughout them -- whether it is a theme, like The Hobbit, or a format, like a cooking hunt where each clue leads to an ingredient or recipe. Of course, there is also nothing wrong with a classic treasure hunt with clues and maps, either!  Themes are good excuses to get everyone in costume, which can make it much more "realistic" for many children. For example, you could buy a pack of cheap eye patches and plastic swords and call it a hunt for pirate's booty. Do you want additional competition? Split the kids into two teams and have them race to the treasure. This will allow the children to improve their teamwork and better the communication skills. Make sure the kids are old...

Article in English: Different phones have power buttons in different locations. If you're using an iPhone, you'll find the Power button along the top edge. Android devices have Power buttons along the top, on the right edge, or sometimes on the back. If you're not sure where your power button is, just search "phone model power button" to quickly find it. This will force the phone to turn off if it is frozen, which may make it appear as if it is off. Once the phone has been forced to turn off, press and hold the Power button again to turn it back on. If you have an iPhone and it's still not turning on, press and hold the Power and Home buttons for 10 seconds. The Home button is the large circular button at the bottom of your iPhone. This forces the iPhone to restart, which can fix a frozen iPhone that appears to be turned off. If done correctly, the Apple logo will appear on the screen and the phone will reboot.

Article in English: Different rifles are operated in different ways, and since the first thing you need to do upon picking up a rifle is check to see if it's loaded, you need to learn how to load and unload different kinds of rifles. While specific models, brands, and styles will vary widely, there are two basic varieties of rifles that you'll encounter:  Bolt-action rifles fire when a sliding bolt is manually operated to advance and eject the ammunition casings, which are fed into the firing chamber from a magazine, or loaded directly into the firing chamber, one round at a time. Semi-automatic rifles are also magazine-fed, but advance each round into the chamber automatically after a round is fired. To advance the first round into the chamber, you need to usually pull back a small bolt, much like on a bolt-action rifle. Each and every time you pick up the gun, you need to check it to see whether or not it's loaded and make sure the safety is on. Most safeties will be located just to the front of the trigger guard, though some will be placed elsewhere. Check the owner's guide for the specific rifle you're firing to make sure you know where the safety is located.  To check if a bolt-action rifle is unloaded, make sure the safety is on, then pull the bolt backward. Remove the magazine, if necessary. If you see there is nothing in the firing chamber, and the magazine it out, the gun is unloaded. To check if a semi-automatic rifle is unloaded, remove the magazine if necessary, and pull the bolt on the rifle back. Look into the firing chamber to ensure nothing is present. If there isn't, and the magazine is out, the gun is unloaded. The single basic rule of gun safety is to treat all firearms as if they were loaded, at all times. Every time you pick up a rifle, you need to check to see if it's loaded. Every time you put down a rifle, you need to check to see if it's loaded. Even after checking to see if the gun is loaded, you treat the gun as if it were. This is the only way to ensure that accidents don't happen.  Keep the safety on...

Article in English: Different types of grasses grow most actively during certain seasons of the year. It's best to aerate your lawn just before or during your lawn's most active period of growth, so that the grass will grow back quickly and recover from the aeration process.  Warm-season grasses like buffalo grass, bermuda grass and St. Augustine grass grow most actively during the summer. If you have warm season grass, it's best to aerate in the late spring to early summer. Cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass, fescue and ryegrass have their most active growing season in the fall, when the temperature drops. Aerate cool season grass at the end of the summer or the beginning of fall. Just make sure you aerate early enough that you allow the lawn to recover from aeration for a month or so before the first frost hits. Clay-heavy soils need to be aerated frequently, about once a year, since the soil tends to be dense and compact. Sandy soils can be aerated every two years or so. Do you drive on your lawn often, or frequently have large groups of people walking over it? Lawns that are trampled often need to be aerated once a year to prevent the soil from getting too compact.  Have you recently reseeded your lawn? It's best not to aerate within a year of reseeding, since the grass needs time to get strong. Test your lawn's need for aeration by examining how deep the grass's roots extend into the soil. If the roots don't go deeper than two inches, you should aerate the soil. You can check using a soil probe, single core probe, a heavy, long shanked screwdriver, or a small spade.

Article in English: Different variations of German may pronounce "Ich" ("I") different ways, and generally it's impossible to write correctly in English. It's [ɪç] in the IPA, a phoneme that doesn't exist in English. However, English used to have this phoneme. Put your mouth in position to sound out the word "human." That very first sound--where air is coming out for the "h" but your mouth is ready to say the "u"--is the most similar to [ç]. Now put an "ih" in front to get the proper pronunciation of "Ich."Many websites may write "ish" or "esh." This is close, but not perfect. Think of "sh," but put the middle of your tongue to the roof of your mouth, spread it out, and make the "sh" sound. It may sound funny at first. Now that you have "Ich," you can work on the whole phrase: Ich liebe dich.  "Liebe" is a bit easier. The second syllable, "buh" has a hint of an "r." Think of the sound in "burn." "Liebe" should sound somewhere between lee-buh and lee-bur. "Dich" has the same sound as "Ich." Put a "d" in front of it and you're ready! Practice it over and over until you're making those [ç]'s and touching lightly on that invisible "r." Ich liebe dich, Ich liebe dich. Getting it? Don't be tempted to use "du" instead of "dich." "Du" does mean you, yes, but that's for the nominative case. German uses cases (English used to) and here, "you" needs to be in the accusative case.

Article in English: Diffusion is, by definition, a spontaneous and random process. This means no heat should be added because then the process no longer spontaneous. While heated diffusion is popular, heating essential oils also decreases their effectiveness. Heating can cause chemical reactions in the essential oil, changing the types of substances in that oil and causing an allergic response. Essential oils are also flammable, which means heating them is an unnecessary risk. The easiest method to diffuse an essential oil is to open the bottle of the essential oil. When you do this, wave your open hand over the top of the bottle and inhale from the air you are wafting from the bottle.  You can also put the oil in a bowl and sniff directly from the bowl. This will help alleviate how strong the oil is directly from the bottle because it is less concentrated. Avoid directly sniffing out of the bottle. Essential oils are very strong and may cause strong reactions. You can also try soaking a cotton ball in the essential oil of your choice. The cotton ball can be held under your nose, placed in a cup, or laid out in a room to diffuse the oil. Bring it to your nose and mouth and move it gently so that the aroma wafts toward you. You can also use a piece of cotton cloth, a towel, or a gauze pad. For more rapid diffusion of your essential oils, you can place a few drops of it into warm water. Make sure the water isn’t warmer than your body temperature so it doesn’t change the composition of the oil. To use this method, place the warm water and the bowl of oils in a central location in the room you’re in. You can also sniff from this bowl as well if you want a more concentrated sniff of the oils. If you want a more direct placement of the essential oils, you can rub it into your skin. Place a drop of the essential oil on your wrists, chest, or temples. This will allow the essential oil to diffuse in the air around you. If you want, you can also rub some into your palms and bring them to your face to sniff in the aroma of the oils. A...

Article in English: Digital cameras can be simple, point-and-shoot devices about the size of a cellphone, or they can have multiple parts and provide more detailed photos.   Point-and-shoot cameras are the smallest models you'll find.  They tend to have fewer buttons on the back, and consequently, also offer fewer customized settings like photo-cropping or zoom capabilities.  However, this may not be a bad thing since auto-modes require less fuss and technical expertise. There are always trade-offs when choosing a camera.  If you want the best image possible, you'll need expensive, specialized, bulky equipment.  However, cameras which offer more settings (like different levels of zoom, interchangeable lenses, wide angle shot capabilities) also require the most effort and "know-how." A relatively cheap and highly recommended point-and-shoot camera is the Canon PowerShot Elph 330 HS, which can go for around $180. SLR stands for "single lens reflex" and simply means that the camera uses one lens to capture photos rather two lenses, which is characteristic of most smaller cameras.  A camera which requires two hands to steady it is likely a DSLR.  These cameras are bigger, heavier, and more expensive than others.  However, they also offer the largest image sensors (for higher resolutions), fastest focus speeds (for "action" shots), and a wide variety of lenses for controlling zoom and light exposure. When you look through a DSLR lens, you are seeing exactly what will be captured.  On two lens cameras, the lens you look through is different than the actual lens used to take the picture.  Since DSLRs provide the most accurate picture with little margin of error, they are generally preferred among professional photographers.  Another benefit of single lens cameras is that they capture photos almost instantly with no lag time.  This is optimal for capturing moving objects, like children playing sports.  DSLRs are the most optimal for professional use such as taking wedding photos or pictures for magazines. Mirrorless cameras lack a...

Article in English: Dip a wide face-painting brush, with a width about equal to that of your thumb, into a container of white face paint. Start painting the arch at the inside end of your eyebrow and continue until you cover its entire length. Extend the bottom of the arch to your eyelid, just above your lash line, and the top of the arch 2 centimetres (0.79 in) above your eyebrow.  Position yourself and your face-paint kit in front of a mirror so you’ll be able to see your face as you paint it. You can find face paint and brushes at most craft stores and online. Adding a little red glitter gel will make your nose sparkle and add extra sparkle to your clown face. To add the glitter, just put some onto the tip of a fine brush and gently dab it onto the red circle. If you’re happy with your look, you can go ahead and skip this step.

Article in English: Dish soap and vinegar should both be safe to use on a bleach stain, but even so, read the bleach's directions and warnings before using those or any other product on the stain.  Many include lists of chemicals that should never be mixed with bleach, like ammonia, which can cause a toxic reaction. Double-check the ingredients of any cleaning or repair product that you intend to use to make sure it doesn't include any of those ingredients. Keep in mind that bleach can harm your skin. Always wear protective gloves before trying to wash bleach out of your carpet by hand. Do so even if the bleach has dried, since the chemicals are still present even though the moisture isn't. Fumes from bleach can be overpowering, causing lightheadedness, nausea, and other ailments. If you're using vinegar to clean it up, expect the combined smell to be even more overwhelming. Open some windows and/or set up some fans to draw the fumes away from you while you work on the stain.

Article in English: Distal radial fractures are very common in children, often occurring due to a fall or sports injury. Certain classifications (usually extra-articular) are specific to children, including the Torus fracture – a mild bulging of the cortex at the distal end of the radius. The cortex is the outer, hard part of the bone. In Torus fractures, there is no displacement because the fracture is incomplete. It heals rapidly with cast immobilization. Greenstick fractures are also incomplete; they occur when the bone is bent suddenly by a fall on an outstretched hand or a direct perpendicular blow. The convex side of the bone is broken, but the concave surface remains intact. Epiphyseal fractures occur at the growth plate of the radius and are subdivided into five types based on the location of the fracture line. Also known as a “Salter-Harris fracture,” an epiphyseal fracture sometimes involves premature fusion of the growth plate, leading to shortening of the limb.

Article in English: Divorce is a naturally painful process. Don’t make matters worse by being hard on yourself or expecting too much too soon. Take a few days to yourself, or with someone supportive, to vent or forget or whatever you need to do. It may seem silly, but it can be helpful to indulge yourself during this time. Get a soothing massage. Take long, hot baths as you ponder your feelings. Drink tea by the fire. Don’t worry so much about managing the everyday right away, just care for yourself and accept the pain. One of the most important relationships in your life is disintegrating. It’s normal and perfectly okay to feel like you should grieve. Depending on the particulars of your divorce, you may feel sadness, shock, despair, fear or anger among other emotions. There is no right way to grieve. Grieve in the way that feels most natural to you.  It may make grieving easier to avoid your spouse, if at all possible, during this time. Find a new route to work if you usually see her each day. Put away the photo albums or mementos that make you cry each time you pass. You should let yourself feel what you must. However, don’t allow your feelings to be in the driver’s seat. Doing this can result in impulsive decisions and actions occurring that you later regret, such as showing up at your ex’s doorstep begging her to reconsider. A support network is essential during divorce. Reach out to or accept support from those around you who love and support you. Be sure that the confidants you select have your best interests at heart and are not simply interested in hearing gossip or badmouthing your ex. Seek out people who are positive influences that give you a healthy outlook on life and encourage you to make good decisions. It can be tempting to turn to drugs, alcohol or other unhealthy behaviors during this difficult period in your life. These substances or activities may appear to numb your feelings, but it is only temporary. Find healthier methods of coping that boost your mood. Examples of healthy coping methods may include...

Article in English: Do an online search to find out what social media sites the company uses. Aim to create an account on the same site(s). Creating a professional social media account, like one on LinkedIn, can be a great way to network with people. When the time comes, you can use that network to get info about other businesses. Be sure to maintain your professional network even when you’re not searching for a job. Send a message to old coworkers once in a while to ask about them and stay in touch. This will make networking when you are searching for a job much easier. Once you’re interested in finding out whether a specific company is hiring, you can use this type of account to search for recruiters or hiring managers at the company, because they'll have the information you need. If you can't find the hiring manager or a recruiter specifically, look for employees at the company in the HR department. You can contact them and ask if they can point you in the right direction. It’s best to use this strategy only if you are using a professional social media site that’s designed for recruitment, such as LinkedIn. Employees may find it off-putting to get a message from a stranger looking for a job on sites like Facebook or Twitter. Once you’ve found a recruiter or hiring manager, send them a short message. Briefly outline your educational and work background and then ask if there are any open positions in your field. For example, you can write something like: “Dear Mr. Smith, I am interested in working for XYZ Plumbing, and I noticed that you are the hiring manager there. I am a certified plumber and have 6 years’ experience working as plumber for ABC plumbing, where I was promoted twice. I’d be very interested in knowing if your company has any current openings and how I might apply. Thank you very much for your time.”

Article in English: Do not point its head down because the rabbit may then try to jump down, out of your arms, and may hurt itself. The rabbit will feel more secure being able to hide a bit.  Your rabbit should be held and carried securely under your arm, nestled comfortably under your “wing.” Some people call this the “football hold.”  If you are right handed, place the bunny’s head under your left arm.  Wrap your left arm around the outside of the rabbit while using your left hand to continue to securely hold the rabbit’s hind legs under it. Place your right hand gently over the bunny’s neck, ready to get a hold of the scruff should the bunny move suddenly. Do not hold your rabbit extended outward or swing it through the air. Ideally, place the rabbit on a table and restrain it while the other person gets a hold of the bunny. Don't try to pass the bunny in mid air. This could lead to the rabbit getting loose and falling from a great height. If you ever feel like you are losing control when carrying the rabbit, immediately crouch down to the ground or to a table to decrease the distance that it might fall. This will also give you a surface upon which to regroup and re-grip the bunny. Some rabbits really dislike being handled and no amount of treats or petting will change their personalities. For these types, it's best to use a carrying case to move them from one place to the next, rather than attempting to pick them up. Use one hand to hold the scruff to restrain the rabbit and get your other hand on the rump and “scrunch” the bunny in a “bunny ball” to transfer to the carrier.

Article in English: Do not rely on articles or videos online to teach you how to administer insulin, whether it's via a syringe, inhaler, or another device. Your doctor can answer any questions and show you the correct way to use your device (for instance, with shots she will need to show you at which angle you should insert the needle). Your doctor will also give you your exact dosage and all the necessary prescriptions. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience an allergic reaction.  Some insulins are derived from animal sources, most commonly pork, and may cause allergic reactions in people that have severe allergies.  Common allergic reactions to insulin include local and systemic reactions. Local reactions occur as redness, minor swelling, and itching at the injection site. This type of skin reaction resolves in a few days to weeks.  Systemic allergic reactions can present as a rash or hives that covers large portions of the body, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, wheezing, decreased blood pressure, increased heart rate, and sweating. This is a medical emergency and you should call 911 or have someone take you to the emergency room if it is close by. Hypoglycemia occurs when your blood sugar level is too low. Insulin will make hypoglycemia worse; instead, you will need to consumer quick-acting carbohydrates or simple sugars.  Low blood sugar interferes with your brain’s ability to function properly. Symptoms of hypoglycemia can include dizziness, trembling, headache, blurred vision, having trouble concentrating, confusion, and sometimes trouble with speaking. Other symptoms can include tremor, heavy sweating, increased heart rate, feeling anxious, and hunger.</ref> Using fast-acting insulin in the midst of a hypoglycemic event will quickly drop your blood sugar even further and result in severe confusion, inability to communicate, and loss of consciousness.

Article in English: Do not seek out the other person for conversations or discussions. If you work with the other person, keep interaction limited and to a public area. Remain friendly and civil at all times, assuming behavior you'd exhibit with your child's school principal or another professional. If you have to correspond with the other person, keep it professional and concise. Don't add jokes or personal information during your interaction. If you're not required to email or call the flirtatious person, avoid contact. Never encourage the behavior after you've had a discussion or stopped interacting with the flirtatious person; this will send a mixed message and could rekindle the behavior. Keep any meeting limited to group situations and maintain limited to no contact with the specific person.

Summary in Russian:

Оставайтесь хорошими знакомыми. Ваша электронная переписка и телефонные звонки должны быть краткими и по существу. Не ищите кокетливого внимания со стороны других.


Article in English: Do not try to force yourself to hold the eyes of every person you meet if you are uncomfortable. Start slowly, reminding yourself to make eye-contact in every conversation. It is easier to practice while listening to someone instead of while you are talking. Smile and nod along to the conversation, rotating your gaze though both eyes, the person's nose, and mouth. When talking, don't feel like you have to make eye-contact the entire time-- change your expression or look away to keep the other person's interest. If you struggle with real people, you can practice with a screen or mirror. Try to make eye-contact with every character you can on TV or video blogs. News channels, where the anchor looks right at the camera, are a great way to practice comfortably in your home. Making eye-contact is a sign of trust, reliability, and openness, and helps in a variety of social settings. However, there are some settings when it is vital for success:   Job Interviews: Good eye-contact tells a boss that they can trust you. Be sure to look them in eyes while you talk, as it assures them that you know what you're talking about.   Dates: Eye-contact can help you make an intimate connection, but it can be difficult to look away in a one-on-one setting. Hold your gaze longer than usual to show your attraction.   Arguments: Strong eye-contact is a mark of assertiveness and power. Hold your opponent's gaze for longer periods of time so you do not appear weak or unsure of yourself.

Article in English: Do not use a metal bowl, since the acidic properties of lime juice can have a chemical reaction with the metal that could taint your food. Popular choices include salmon, ahi tuna, halibut, tilapia, and sea bass, but many types of fish and other seafood can actually be used for the dish. Make sure that the fish is completely covered by the lime juice. All the fish to sit in the lime juice mixture for at least 8 hours or until the fish turns white and opaque. Stir it occasionally as it sits to make sure that the lime juice is evenly distributed.  The acid in the lime juice breaks the fish down in a chemical reaction that actually "cooks" the fish without the use of heat. Note that some fish, like ahi and salmon, will not turn white upon being cooked, even though they will become opaque. For these types of fish, you may need to poke the fish with a fork to see if it flakes. Stir, and allow all the ingredients to sit for another 30 minutes. Do not add these vegetables into the lime juice at the start of the process, however, since the acid in the lime juice may break them down too much and make them mushy by the time you serve the ceviche. Some versions of ceviche actually include the lime juice mixture in the serving dish, however, so you could also dish it out with a standard serving spoon.

Article in English: Do so if your canker sore does not go away after 4 days or if you have experienced chronic canker sores. Call your doctor if your canker sore is larger than a dime. There are many chronic causes of canker sores that you and your physician will be able to discuss. Vitamin deficiency is often a cause of chronic canker sores, but depression, hormonal imbalance, and immune disorders like Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and a rare condition called Bechet’s disease can also cause ulcers too.  SLE is an autoimmune disease where there is oral involvement in about 50% of cases.  These oral ulcers look like irregularly shaped raised white plaques.Treatment for these lesions include topical or intralesional glucocorticoids.  Behcet's  disease is another rare disease that leads to mouth ulcers. It is a neutrophilic inflammatory disorder with recurrent oral and genital ulcers,  Recurrent ulcers along with lesions in the genital, eye, or skin are required for the diagnosis. The mucocutaneous manifestations of Behcet’s disease can be treated with colchicine. Inflammatory bowel disease is also known to be associated with mouth ulcers, particularly aphthous stomatitis.  This form of mouth ulcers is the  most common cause of mouth ulcers. Risk factors for mouth ulcers include family history, trauma, hormonal factors, food or drug hypersensitivity, immunodeficiencies, and emotional distress. Treatment for oral ulcers involve triamcinolone in an over the counter treatment called Orabase. There are no tests for canker sores. Doctors can tell just by looking at it, if it is a form of cold sore or if it is a canker sore. Canker sores are shallow crater-like spots on the mucus tissue of the mouth. They are immediately recognizable by their round shape, reddish edge, and general whitish/grayish color. Be sure to note the number and longevity of your canker sores. They’ll be able to determine if you have a chronic condition. If you’ve had a couple in a week or so, your doctor will likely tell...

Article in English: Do some  research on productivity levels and online browsing––the best way to convince your boss that online freedom for all is a good thing is to provide him or her with cold hard facts! You'll need tangible reasons and facts as to how unrestrained browsing will benefit employee productivity and corporate growth:  Use reputable studies, such as The National University of Singapore study, Impact of Cyberloafing on Psychological Engagement, by Don J.Q. Chen and Vivien K.G Lim. Print out the The Wall Street Journal article that discusses the results of this study:  "The researchers found that the Web-surfers were significantly more productive and effective at the tasks than those in the other two groups and reported lower levels of mental exhaustion, boredom and higher levels of engagement." "Because Web-surfing can aid productivity, the researchers caution employers against over-restricting workers' Web access. They recommend that managers allow time for limited personal Web browsing 'since it has a salubrious impact on employees' productivity,' while limiting access to personal emails."   Search for studies that pertain to your specific industry. For more credibility, search for studies that address your particular situation. For example, if you work in a bank, identify studies that have demonstrated increased marketability or employee productivity amongst banks when employees have been allowed to surf the net during their break or in order to research the competition. An easy way to dig up this kind of info is to go to http://scholar.google.com and search for "internet surfing employees bank" (replacing "bank" with your industry). What area of your job (and other positions at the company) could be enhanced by more online freedom? No doubt areas such as research, sales and marketing, clarification of legal and financial issues, etc., could be enhanced by unrestrained online browsing but so too can simply knowing what's happening out there with competitors and customers. Go through each department and...

Article in English: Do some consumer research by testing out the five or so names with potential customers and see how they respond to the names. You can even talk about the names with a focus group, seeing how a group of people reacts to each name and hearing what they have to say about the feeling that each word evokes. Hearing how other people would react to the name can help you find the best fit. Just make sure that you're testing the names on people who might actually make up your customer base. Different names resonate with different types of people. This may sound silly, but you can get a better sense of what works for each name when you write it down, draw it, or even start doodling a potential logo. Having a sense of how the word would look on the page can help you see if this name is something that you can see on top of your business stationery or hanging above your store. Saying each name aloud will help you see which name rolls off the tongue the most smoothly, and which name sounds the best when said aloud. This can give you an idea of how the name of your business would sound if you heard it over the radio or over the phone. If you've narrowed your list down to two or three names that meet all of your criteria, but you just can't settle on one, just think about the one that will feel the most right. Which name would you love to have representing your business? If you really aren't happy with any of the names you're left with, keep brainstorming. If professional naming companies can take months to come up with the perfect name, then you should certainly spend more than a day or two on this difficult decision.

Article in English: Do things to consume your time. When your schedule is full of activities that keep you productive and distracted, you won't have the time to dwell on the fact that you are lonely. Volunteer. Find a part-time job. Join a book club, or a new gym with interesting group classes. Tackle a few DIY projects. Just get out of your head.  What hobbies do you enjoy? What are you naturally good at? What have you always wanted to do that you've never gotten around to doing? Take this opportunity and do it. It's easy to sit at home and allow the day to pass with the cast of your favorite sitcom. However, when you remain in the same environment, the pangs of loneliness will only get worse. Go to a cafe to do your work. Go to the park and simply sit on a bench to watch the passersby. Give your brain some stimuli to distract you from your negative feelings. Spending time in nature can have a positive impact on your mental health. Getting outside can actually reduce stress, and may also help improve your physical health as well. So, grab a blanket and read a book on the park grass. Doing this regularly just might lift your spirits. Doing things you are passionate about can relieve your feelings of loneliness. Think about what makes you feel good. Meditating? Reading European literature? Singing? Go for it. Take some of your precious time and spend it nurturing your passions. Or, ask a peer from school, a buddy at the gym or your neighbor if they want to join you. New friend made. Refrain from using substances to dull the pain of feeling lonely. Find healthy activities that make you feel good - not just temporary fixes that only cover the wound. Sometimes, you may be so desperate to get past your feelings of loneliness that you'll take just about any chance that offers itself to be less lonely. Be careful not to seek out bad influences or people who only want to use you. Sometimes, the vulnerability that comes with being lonely can make you a target of manipulative or abusive people. Signs of people who are not interested in a...

Article in English: Do this by running cool water over the bleeding area for several minutes. In this way potential infectants are expelled from the wound and washed away, minimizing entry into the bloodstream. Once the virus enters your bloodstream, it may start to multiply, so it is best to keep the virus cells from entering the bloodstream in the first place. Gently cleanse the site of the needle stick or sharps entry with plenty of soap after you have bled the wound and flooded the site. This will help to kill viruses and bacteria, removing sources of infection and reducing the chance of infection.  Do not scrub the wound while you're washing it. This can make the injury worse. Never try to suck the wound. Use a sterile material to dry the wound and immediately cover the wound with a waterproof plaster or dressing. If the contents of the needle splashed to nose, mouth, face or other skin areas, wash them well with soap. Gently flush the eyes if any splashing occurred there. Place clothing in a sealed bag awaiting washing and sterilization. After undressing, wash your hands and parts of the body that were in contact with the potentially infectious clothing, then don fresh clothing.

The redness and swelling will spread, but it will tone down if you wait. Leave it there for another 15-20 minutes. If you see that your hickey is less noticeable, try the method again. If you see that you've made it worse by brushing too hard, then keep icing it and wait for it to go away.

Article in English: Do this on your own or with a friend. If possible, get access to a piano or a musical instrument that is important in the musical score. Then, read all the dialogue out loud and sing the songs to the tune of the musical instrument. Notice how the dialogue and the songs sound aloud. Pay attention to any dialogue that feels confusing or clumsy. Check that the songs relate to the dialogue in someway and sound polished. You may underline or mark any sections that feel off to you. You can then go back and revise them so until they are at their best. Stage directions tell the actors where they are situated on stage and how they are approaching a scene or a song. Keep the stage directions concise and to the point. Do not include stage direction that feels long winded or convoluted.  For example, if you want to notate that there is going to be a musical number in a scene, you would add in “Music starts playing (insert musical number here)” into the script. This will signal to the actors that a song is going to be performed. You should also include details about where the actors enter from into a scene, such as STAGE RIGHT or STAGE LEFT. You should include notes about a character’s reaction, but only if it is an important reaction in the scene. For example, “VELMA (aghast) How could you do that?” or “JOHN (crying) I can’t sing anymore.” Once you have a polished script, you should try to have it performed on stage. You may contact actors in your area and hire them to perform the musical at your local theater. Or you may try to get the musical performed by a prominent theater company in your area. You may also seek out actors and playwrights who have had success to get advice on how you can get your musical produced.

Article in English: Do this repeatedly. Make sure that you are inserting your hand slowly and in a non-threatening way. Don’t shake your hand around needlessly. Don’t shake the cage or hit your bird. Your goal is to teach your bird to trust that your hand won’t hurt it.  Lots of parakeets may fly around or squawk at you. However, remain still so it can determine that nothing will happen at this point. After your bird gets used to your hand being in its space, a treat will tell your bird to value your hand. Your hand should signify a safe and even beneficial addition to its space. The ideal treats will be made of grain or seed. They should be big enough for your bird to recognize, but small enough for your bird to pick up off of your hand. Perches come in many sizes. Most look like wooden dowels. Some are made out of metal. They all range in size. You should choose a comfortable perch that extends from your hand  around 4 to 5 inches. Your goal with this step is to get your bird used to perching near your hand. The dowel will eventually be replaced by your fingers. This will be the physical cue that tells your parakeet to step onto the perch. Make sure that you don’t jab your parakeet too hard. If you do, your parakeet will associate the perch and your hand (or presence) negatively. Let’s say your parakeet’s name is Petee. You’d say “up, up, up Petee” while nudging its chest. This will add an auditory cue for your bird to learn. Eventually, you may be able to have your parakeet hop onto your finger with one or the other signal. This includes gentle pets on the back of its head or additional treats. In this respect, parakeets are like dogs and cats. They need some positive reward in order to learn the trick. Some parakeets don't like to be petted. If your parakeet is one of these, stick to treats. Make sure that you choose treats that are made from natural seeds, vegetables, and grains. Every parakeet is different and will prefer different treats. Experiment and figure out what your parakeet likes the most. Place the dowel and...

Article in English: Do this with the tip of a knife or your fingertip. Be sure to tap gently, since the puri is crispy and fragile. Scoop in some of the mashed potato and chickpea filling. If you wish, you can add other fillings, too, like chutney, yogurt sauce or green moong dal sprouts. Spoon in enough to fill about half of the puri. Submerge the filled puri in the bowl of pani so that the extra space fills with the spicy water. Don't keep it underwater too long, or it will get soft. It's necessary to serve and eat pani puri right away, before it gets soggy and falls apart. Eat the whole thing in one or two quick bites. If you're serving guests, you can have them assemble their own pani puri so they experience the best texture possible.

Article in English: Do your own thing, and let others do theirs. If they're not hurting anyone, what's the problem? Chill people don't look for reasons or opportunities to hate on others just for being different. There's no reason to bully or tread on other people's territory. Try to be happy with yourself and encourage self-love in others, too and remember be yourself. Unless someone is rude to you, your day should go by smoothly by being polite, considerate, and nice. Chill people don't antagonize for the sake of it or stir up a bunch of negative emotions by being jerks; chill people are generally kind and get along well with others. However, try to avoid going overboard so you don't become a people-pleaser or pushover. Take your life in stride. Roll with the punches and be accepting of the little things life throws your way, reserving your passion for what matters to you most. This is pretty much the defining feature of a chill person. Don't be someone who is really boring and afraid to try new things. Go out and do stuff you consider fun and be someone that other people want to spend time with. Talk with people, go see movies, play games, go on hikes or go camping: it's all good! Be unique. A chill person doesn't feel the need to follow all the trends set by others, they just do what they want and what makes them happy. This laid back attitude inspires others to be more laid back and people will want to be around you more often.

Article in English: Doctors recommend 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night. Less sleep can result in 10% lower testosterone levels. Less sleep can also make it difficult to lose weight. Moving around more and sitting less will balance your hormones, decrease stress, and result in weight loss. Buy a pedometer. Make sure you hit at least 10,000 steps per day during the course of your daily routine. Stress produces the hormone cortisol and interrupts the production of hormones such as testosterone.  Focus on creating a work/life balance. Spend 2 hours a day on leisure activities you enjoy. Try to bring your workday down to 10 hours or less.  Start meditation, deep breathing, yoga, tai chi, and/or qigong. These activities can reduce stress and help you sleep better. If you don’t think you have time, start by taking four 2-3 minutes throughout the day to take 25 deep breaths per break. If low testosterone has affected your sex life, then consider changing sexual activity to the morning. Testosterone levels are naturally higher in the morning.

Article in English: Does he bring you coffee? Give you rides home? Unless he's really that much of a good citizen, chances are that he's not doing it out of the goodness of his heart only. He must be attracted to you and must want something more from you than just a "thank you" for all the nice stuff he's been doing for you. Is he asking if you need his help with everything from home repairs to shoveling the snow of your driveway? Is he cooking for you because you've had a long day? If he's always around and finding ways to get close to you and to be in your presence, then it's likely that he's attracted to you. If a guy is interested in a girl, he will try to impress her.  Even risk serious injury like jumping off cliffs into water or ride on trunks of moving cars or anything else to gain your attention and care if he does get hurt. If he's not generally a risk taker or if he takes his risk-taking to a new level when you're around, then chances are that he's doing it just to impress you. See if he tries to catch your eye or look at you after he's done the risky thing -- if so, then he's really just doing it to get a reaction from you. A guy would not flirt with a girl he wasn't attracted to. If a guy flirts with you, then he probably is testing you to see if the feelings are mutual. Seemingly harmless flirting may mask his fear of getting rejected if he were to ask you out outright. See if he's playful around you, if he teases you, and if he likes to make you laugh. Just make sure he's not the kind of guy who flirts with every girl he sees. If he's a chronic flirt and that's just his way of talking to women, then it may not mean as much as it would if he were just flirting with only you. Do you notice unhappiness in him if you go for coffee or lunch with a male co-worker? Does he watch who is around you? If you have a male friend is he a little critical of him? His jealousy may not come out in the most obvious ways, but if he's truly jealous of you and another guy, he'll call attention to the fact that you're hanging out with...

Article in English: Does he have a good personality that you are attracted to? Are you genuinely attracted to him or are you just flattered that someone would ask you out? Would you really consider starting a serious relationship with him?  If you answered yes to most of these questions, maybe he is someone you'd want to get into a relationship with. However, it's best that you get to know him better if you don't already know him well enough to go out with him. If you answered no to most of these questions, perhaps you should reconsider your answer to him. You could decline or you could take the chance and go out with him, but remember to make sure you choose an answer that makes you happy and that you won't regret later. Don't be afraid to take your time when deciding. Entering a relationship with someone is a decision that should be taken seriously. Remember that other partners will be available in the future so don't feel pressured to accept an offer from a person who you don't truly desire. Write down the traits you want your ideal partner to have. Consider things like religious beliefs, hobbies, career goals, ethics, physical features, sexual preferences, and lifestyle choices. Order them from most important to least important so you can determine which features you would be willing to compromise on. Next, try and discern how many of these features are mirrored in the guy who asked you out. Think about whether you want to go out with him because you genuinely enjoy his company, or because you're trying to cover up insecurities. By accepting his invitation, you've started something with him, and you cannot end it after one day with him. Remember that boys are not toys - they have their own feelings as well, and you should respect that. This can be a good option if you're too taken aback or uncertain to respond immediately. If the guy cannot respect that, maybe you shouldn't consider dating him at all. However, if he truly cares about you and he respects your request then it's a good sign that he's worth your time.

Summary in Russian:

Подумайте, действительно ли вы хотите встречаться с этим человеком. Подумайте о качествах, которые хотите видеть в партнере. Оцените свои мотивы для согласия. Попросите время на размышление в течение урока или одного дня.


Article in English: Does he only want to hang out with you at night? Does he ever even just want to spend time with you? Maybe he coincidentally only has time for you when you have an invitation to a cool party. Start paying close attention to when he wants to see you, because this can say a lot about his intentions. If he only wants to be in the bedroom, that's a huge red flag. If he never wants to take you around his friends, but would rather always be alone in his home, that may mean he isn't interested in making you a public and "official" part of his life. Think about the details of each. Consider things like how often he says or does something that bothers you, or makes you uneasy. Making a list is a great way to gather your thoughts and voice the concerns that may have only been brewing in your head up until now.  Is this a repeated behavior, or are you holding a grudge over something he did once, six months ago? While you should look out for yourself and stand your ground, there are also times when you have to be willing to forgive and forget if he's said sorry. Forgetting to call you when he said he would is annoying. Blowing you off on your birthday because he had something else to do is unacceptable. Go down the list and be honest about how bad his actions are, and how down they make you feel. Sometimes people around you can see things that you can’t. Rumors, warnings, and advice from people can all be useful when you’re feeling conflicted. Keep in mind, however, that only you and your boyfriend are in the relationship. Don’t air out the dirty laundry of your relationship to anyone and everyone who will listen. This can create more problems. Only consult trustworthy and well-intentioned people. If you've examined the situation, spoken to people you trust, and decided your suspicion is silly, decide how to move on. Maybe you have some confidence issues you need to address to feel secure in the relationship. If you are certain that there are valid reasons to be uneasy, then you'll need to figure out how to confront the...

Article in English: Does your friend seem true or false to you? Do you feel comfortable and happy around this person or do you feel awkward, controlled and/or unhappy around him or her? Does your friend inspire and motivate you or send shivers of angst and worry down your spine? Do you have evidence that this person supports you or badmouths you? Remind yourself that no friend is better than a bad friend, and that you will find a new friend if this one proves to be false. Also, sometimes your friendship circle as a whole may decrease in size but will increase in value, so let that be your guide. When making your decision, keep in mind that the fact you have had to question this friend's loyalty is a red flag. Generally, the only people you owe loyalty to are those who don't cause you to question theirs.

Article in English: Dog's can suffer from whiplash and neck sprain quite easily. Anything from a sudden halting brake during a car ride to jerking his head around playing catch or running with other dogs could have caused your pet to experience some neck pain. Your vet will want to run tests and may require X-rays, CT scans, or an MRI to rule out any more serious conditions. It's important to rule out those conditions, as many debilitating illnesses and infections that cause neck pain require quick medical treatment. Even a severe spinal trauma may require corrective surgery. If your dog is suffering from a sprained neck, your vet may prescribe muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory medication to treat the pain and facilitate movement. Allow your dog plenty of time to rest and recover. Do not be tempted to give human pain relief medication to your dog unless instructed to do so under veterinary supervision.

Summary in Russian:

Article in English: Dogs are shy when confronted with things they do not understand. If the dog wasn't exposed to something as a puppy, their natural reaction is to be cautious around it as an adult. Also, dogs that associate an object with fear or punishment (such as a dog struck with an umbrella), may be shy or fearful of the object (an umbrella).  Dogs may become shy because of unfamiliar people, certain situations, or objects. Often this is simply because of a lack of familiarity. Shy behavior is commonly the result of poor socialization, insufficient guidance, or even past abuse. Some behaviors in particular that are indicative of shyness include the four Fs: freeze, fight, flight, and fool around. The fight and flight behaviors are fairly straightforward, as they are the same as human response to fear. Freeze is simply when the dog freezes in place in reaction to a stressor. Fool around, however, can be more complicated, but it is similar to a person laughing nervously or fidgeting. In dogs, fooling around can be wild bursts of energy, jumping, pawing, etc. Most dogs are shy or lack confidence because of poor socialization as a puppy, rather than physical abuse. If, however, you suspect your dog has experienced abuse, you should meet with a certified behaviourist to assess and work with your dog.  If you are bringing a new dog home, some signs of abuse may be cuts, sores, etc. If the dog has been out of the abuser's care for a long time, you may not notice sores, but there may be scars.  The dog's shyness itself could be a sign of prior abuse, but you may also see hostility, aggressiveness, illness, distress, or other signs of inadequate socialization.

Article in English: Dogs may become infected with worms from old feces that remains in your backyard. Use a poop scooper to clean up your dog’s feces every day. Do not allow it to build up or it may pose a health hazard to your dog. Wash your dog's bedding at least once per week as well. Doing so will help to prevent fleas and other pests from breeding in your dog's blankets or bed. Keeping your dog’s play area or kennel run very clean is one of the best ways to prevent hookworms. Hookworms live in soil and may either get into a dog through the skin on his feet or get ingested by the dog while he is grooming his feet.  If you have a concrete kennel for your dog, clean it with a solution of bleach diluted in water. Use one part bleach to 32 parts water.  In severe cases of hookworm infestation in grass runs, you may want to consider treating the area with sodium borate. Just keep in mind that the sodium borate will kill the grass along with the worms. Dogs like to walk with their noses to the ground and sniff for other animals. Unfortunately, they sniff feces and urine of other animals and may come in contact with parasites. If you notice any feces in your path, steer your dog away from it. Keep your dog away from other dogs or cats that may be infected with worms. If you encounter an unfamiliar dog or cat during a walk, keep your dog away from it.

Article in English: Doing a bit of learning about how horoscopes developed and how they have been used throughout history will help you to see that they are just a pseudo-science. The signs aren't even in the same positions as they once were. Due to the fact that all the planets are constantly changing their positions, these cycles in fact never actually repeat themselves, making each person an absolute individual. A single horoscope can therefore never capture the breadth of personality and destiny of any single person. For example:   The Sun is a star with a large mass. Extensive research undertaken on earthquakes and the positions of the planets has shown that they strongly affect the rate of earthquakes and that the Sun has no greater effect than any of the other planets.[citation needed]  Depending on the Suns' relationship to the the other planets, the nature of the influences can in fact be the exact opposite of what is traditionally stated in sun-sign astrology. Due to the fact that the characteristics of the sun-sign can be the same as the traditional characteristics, the opposite, or somewhere in between, there can be no sound statistical method that would work just based on the traditional characteristics of the sign.

Article in English: Domestic meat and dairy production requires a lot of natural resources. Eating less meat and dairy, and more plants, is one way you may be able to help the environment, and stay healthy yourself.  If you are advised to maintain animal protein in your diet, look for more sustainable practices such as localized farms, or learn to hunt responsibly. Meatless Monday is a national non-profit public health campaign that encourages people to give up meat one day a week. Visit their website at http://www.meatlessmonday.com/favorite-recipes/ for some meatless recipes. Try to avoid drinking coffee from individual-serving coffee pods. The mini pods of ground coffee for single-serve coffee makers create a lot of extra waste because they are designed to only be used one time and then thrown out. (Although some brands may be recycled after they are cleaned).  Use a mug or other reusable cup for your coffee instead of a disposable cup. If you love the convenience of single-serve coffee and have already invested in a single-serve machine, look for a washable, reusable coffee pod that will fit your appliance. Transporting food from far-off locations takes a toll on the environment. Food must be shipped in trucks, by rail, flight, or by ship—all of which produce pollutants. Buying food that is sourced locally will help eliminate or reduce the environmental impact caused by transportation. It also goes without saying that local products are more fresh. Hence, they are higher in nutrient value.   Visit farmers' markets to find local vegetables and fruits or use a CSA (community-supported agriculture) service to get fresh produce on a regular basis. Plan your meals so that you don’t cook more than you will eat. Store your leftovers and use them up at one of your meals over the next few days. If you do have an overrun of food, such as after a party, share it with friends or neighbors.

Article in English: Don't avoid your problem by shoving it under the rug. Tackle your work problem head-on and be aggressive in your strategies to prevail! If you are deciding between important job offers that each would lead you on a different course in your professional life, don't wait until the last minute to decide. Instead, gather all the information you can about each job and talk with others to make a well informed decision you will be happy about. Make pros/cons lists and to help you tackle your work problem. Think of your problem as an opportunity to improve yourself and take on new responsibilities. It can be a chance to show your boss a side of you they have never seen, which might lead to some sort of promotion. Take away all of your assumptions about your problem to help you overcome them. For example, make a list of the assumptions about a product in your industry. Then, think about what would happen if they weren't there or you did the opposite. For example, Cirque du Soleil challenged our common assumptions of what a 'circus' was, and made something innovative and profitable. Do you want to be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company or run your own restaurant? Write down your ultimate goal, and then break it down into smaller goals. Each one of these smaller goals will help in the pursuit of your larger goal. Ensure that your goals are attainable and measurable, so you can monitor your progress. Celebrate in some way after reaching each goal. Visualize what you want your life to look like in five or ten years. Assess how this problem will help or hinder your imagined future. How can you tackle this problem to ensure your future is bright, and the way you thought it would be? Visualizing a solution to your problem can also be helpful. Think about all the possible solutions and how you would achieve each. Decide which solution helps you the most and has the least amount of backlash with your colleagues. Ask for guidance from a mentor, family member, or other support group in your life. Overcoming problems can be very...

Article in English: Don't be afraid to enlist the help of a trained psychiatrist or psychologist. The roots of passive aggressive behavior often run deep and need more than just independent behavior modification. Psychotherapy can help you work through some of the deeply rooted issues you may have. Studies show that those with Passive Aggressive Personality Disorder have a high rate of depression and suicidal thoughts. If you find yourself struggling with depression or suicidal thoughts as a result of these issues, seek help immediately! You can reach out to local mental health agencies in your area, or contact a suicide hotline for more information. The National Suicide Prevention Hotline is: 1-800-273-8255

Summary in Russian:

Обратитесь за помощью. Повышенный риск депрессии или суицидальных мыслей.


Article in English: Don't be afraid to fulfill your dreams in life. You can get there by setting a series of manageable goals that will ultimately get you to where you want to go in life. Start by determining what your ultimate goal is, and then come up with five or ten steps to get you there.  It is important to set small goals that lead up to a larger goal. This will help make the big goal easier to achieve. If you don't have a goal in mind, ask yourself, "What have I always wanted to do?" For example, if you want to write a book, set smaller goals for yourself, such as writing 500 words a day or outlining a chapter every week. Once you've set your sights on a goal, you must make a plan. Break your goal down into smaller, step-by-step goals. Give each of these small goals deadlines. Think about what obstacles might stand in your way, and think about how you can overcome them.  For example, if you want to take a trip, you first need to save money. Create a plan for how you will earn extra money, and how much you will save each month until you reach your goal. If you want to lose weight, choose an approach to diet and exercise and give yourself concrete deadlines. Boldness is the opposite of hesitation. Once you have your plan in place, you have to take the leap. Seek out a community of people who are seeking the same goal, and use them to keep you motivated and accountable.  Keep yourself motivated by celebrating small victories. Instead of putting things off for the future, force yourself to take action in the moment. Now is the best time to start. Many people hold themselves back from doing things because they are afraid to fail. The truth is: everyone makes mistakes. Fearless people just aren't afraid of that inevitable downfall. Learn to embrace and expect failure, and use it as a learning experience.  For instance, if you are a writer, you could set the goal of receiving 20 rejection letters per year. If you are an athlete, compete in a tournament you know you probably won't win. If you never fail, you are never really...

Summary in Russian:

Ставьте выполнимые, но амбициозные цели. Составьте план. Начинайте действовать. Учитесь принимать ошибки.


Article in English: Don't be afraid to look your partner directly in the eyes. Your eyes will usually portray how you are feeling, so this is a good way to let your partner know that you are wanting to kiss them. Eye contact can't directly give away what you want, but it can make it more obvious. Lean in closer to your partner and lock eyes with them. If you wear glasses, you may want to remove them when you make deep eye contact with your partner. Once you've made eye contact, you can let your eyes wander to further hint to your partner that you want to be kissed. Look them in the eyes and then let your eyes drift to your partner's lips. You don't have to keep your eyes on their lips. Look at their lips for a few moments and then return to eye contact. Smile at your partner while you maintain eye contact and at any point throughout your time with them. Being tense will show on your face, which could convey an unwanted message. You don't have to constantly smile, but it will help them feel like you are comfortable with them. The simplest way to be kissed is to let your partner know that you'd be okay with it. You don't have to demand a kiss. Simply let them know that it's something you're open to and would be happy to do.  You can simply say “I would be happy if you kissed me.” You could also say “I'd really like to kiss you.”

Article in English: Don't be the girl who forgets all about her friends every time she gets in a relationship. If it doesn't work out with this guy, you're going to need your friends to be there for you when it's over. But even more than that, guys are interested in girls who have their own lives apart from them. Let him see that you have friends and that other people enjoy spending time with you. This will make him want to spend more time with you too. There's nothing more attractive to a guy than a girl who doesn't need him. Don't be available to him every second of every day. Make plans with other people and live your life. This kind of behavior is what attracted him to you in the first place.  Call your girlfriends and go to the movies. Volunteer at your church. Do whatever you want to do with your time so that he'll feel special when you're able to spend time with him. There's nothing more unappealing to a guy than knowing a girl is sitting at home waiting for him to call. It can seem a little desperate. If you want to stay home, that's fine. But don't tell him you are staying home in case he calls.  If he said he might call you tonight, don't wait around to find out. That's what cell phones are for. He can reach you while you're out doing something. And then if he doesn't call, you didn't waste a whole night waiting around on him. Then you won't be mad and he won't feel the pressure you would have otherwise put on him. Assertiveness can be a very attractive quality. It involves setting healthy boundaries and expectations. This means that you should know what you want and you should take steps to go after it. Don't let other people (your man included) dictate the direction of your life. It's okay to be agreeable, but make sure that you have your own opinions so that people don't walk all over you.

Summary in Russian:

У вас должны быть свои друзья. Стройте планы без парня. Не ждите его звонка. Умейте стоять на своем.


Article in English: Don't be too obvious with the question or your parents might suspect something and drop in to check on you! Unless you are sure of when your parents might return, it's worth calling them to find out before starting out on this adventure.  Ask general questions like "Will you be home for dinner?" or "What time should I have my chores done before you get back?", etc. Try slipping the question into idle conversation.  You could say something like, "Oh, we can go out for ice cream if you'll be back before the shop closes up!" Or maybe tell them to call you when they start heading home.   You never know when an unexpected arrival could catch you off guard and create an... awkward situation. Even definite schedules change and in this case, it's better to be safe than sorry!

Summary in Russian:

Выясните, когда ваши родители должны вернуться домой. Если ваши родители уже ушли, позвоните им. Дождитесь, пока родители скроются из виду, прежде чем раздеваться. Разденьтесь после того, как убедитесь в том, что вас нельзя заметить с улицы. Убедитесь, что у вас приготовлена одежда для экстренного одевания. Оденьтесь до предполагаемого возвращения родителей.


Article in English: Don't blast it, or try to drown out the sound of the fireworks. Play the music at a normal volume level. Just enough so you can easily hear the music. Piano playing music is great. If you typically keep a television on in your home, consider putting it on your regular programming at a slightly increased volume from what you normally use. This way the sound of the television will help drown out a bit of the fireworks while also helping her feel that everything is normal. There are several herbs that are tasty and appealing to cats and that have stress-reducing properties. Try one or more of these:  Catnip is a classic cat treat, which helps your cat feel less stressed by giving a slight feeling of drunkenness and calmness. Because it first works by stimulating the cat and then causes feelings of calm, you should give it to her fifteen minutes before the fireworks begin. Keep a plant of live catnip in your home for special occasions, or purchase a toy that is infused with cat nip. Try valerian root, which has the same effect as catnip but usually results in a cat falling asleep. That should definitely calm her down!  Experiment with dried flowers. There are a few types that are soothing and safe for cats: chamomile, hops, and a combination sold under the name Bach Rescue Remedy. You can find all of these online or in some health food stores. Use a calm, relaxed voice, say things along the lines of "It's okay honey" or "Calm down, it's ok." Stroke her gently. It really doesn't matter what you say. If your cat is used to your voice and loves you, she will likely be comforted by anything you say. In fact, you could read the newspaper aloud or read your favorite novel and she wouldn't mind. It would help to reassure her that you are with her and not leaving her.

Summary in Russian:

Включите успокаивающую музыку. Используйте растительные препараты. Успокойте кошку разговором.


Article in English: Don't just nod your head and say "uh uh" but practice active listening. When practicing active listening you need to ask questions and paraphrase back important points to demonstrate your involvement and interest. You are never done learning about your partner, nor they about you, and learning starts with good listening. A good, deep relationship requires lifelong maintenance and effort, but the effort is worth it for the support, security and love from someone who really knows you. Listen when your partner talks. Respect your partner's opinion by allowing them to express it in full, even if you disagree. Take the time to really understand your partner's views by asking questions and attempting to paraphrase what they are saying to you. Do not simply try to fix the symptoms, but when your partner or you is unhappy take the time to explore and understand what is the source of the problem and fix that. For example if your wife is mad that you spend too much time with the guys and doesn't want you to go out, you could treat the symptom and just stop ever hanging out with the boys, but this is not a healthy long-term fix. Instead you should explore the numerous reasons why she doesn't like you spending time with the guys. Ask questions and listen to her without judging to uncover her motivations. You may find that:  A) She is jealous of other women at the bars you go to with the boys. Solution: Change the venue, or invite her to "drop by" and see that nothing unseemly is going on. B) She thinks you do not like to spend time with her and do not like her. Solution: Schedule regularly quality time with her, and verbally ensure her that you enjoy her company too. C) She thinks that your hanging out with the boys unfairly burdens her. This is especially true if you have kids, as your hanging out with the boys means that she is on solo baby duty. Solution: Offer to give her a day out with the girls too. And make sure you are not falling behind on household chores when you do go out.

Summary in Russian:
