Article in English: There are many reasons why a cat may be living in a state of constant stress, and most of them have to do with changes in its environment. If you think your cat is stressed, look around for ways to Reduce Stress in Cats or help them adjust. Stressors can include changes in routine, a new pet or person in the home (or a pet or person leaving the home), new smells, new noises, new furniture, construction in your home's vicinity, moving, even a new cat in the neighborhood. One way to help eliminate stress if you suspect your cat is suffering is to make sure you are keeping a set schedule, at least for the cat. Changes in routine, or not having a daily routine in the first place, can keep your pet in a constant state of stress even if nothing else is going on. And if there are other stressors, making a schedule can only help. If there is only a temporary change going on, such as vacation, get back into the old routine as quickly as possible. The principal is true for both cats and humans—physical activity takes away stress. Playing with your cat just 20 to 30 minutes split into two segments (like morning and afternoon) may relax it.  Keep playtime as part of any routine so that your cat can get out nervous energy and be distracted from fixating on any changes until they are complete. Give the cat some toys, rotating them on a monthly basis to maintain interest. End by offering the cat a treat, or schedule playtime just before a meal. For any of the symptoms listed in these steps, you can contact a vet for advice. Some of these symptoms may indicate a problem other than stress, so getting cleared by the vet first may make it easier to clear out stressors.

Article in English: There are many reasons why your parents might be unwilling to by fast food: it might be too expensive, or they might be worried about your health. You might want to go get fast food with your friends, but your parents may disapprove. You’ll need to do a little research on what to say to get your parents to change their minds. Refuting their points directly will be the best way to change their outlook. If your parents are concerned with your health and use this as their reason, there's plenty of research you can use to change their mind. Learning about nutrition and reading menus can help. You can also opt for healthier fast food places that offer better choices.  Eat healthy food a lot. Your parents will be more likely to give you fast food, if you ate more healthy meals in the short-term. Then your parents will be more likely to think that you can have fast food and that your health will not collapse into disrepair and neglect. Look at menus. Most fast food places have begun to roll out healthier menus, and you may be able to convince your parents to buy you some of the healthier options, like the lower calorie Fresca menu at Taco bell or some healthier sides at McDonalds.  Learn about nutrition. The more you know about nutrition and the needs of your body, the you'll understand about how  fast food can affect your diet. Know that as long as you aren’t eating more calories than you need every day, you won’t gain weight, even if you only eat fast food. If you want to eat fast food, but money is the main reason your parents don’t want to buy it, research prices at your favorite chains. Many offer dollar menus or other value menus that can be reasonably priced. Keep an eye on deals. Often, fast food chains will offer deals that drop the prices of meals substantially. Restaurants often advertise on the radio or TV, so watch for two-for-one deals, coupons, or limited-time-offers that might make a meal more affordable. If going out to restaurants helps you fit in with your friends, think about how to explain this...

Article in English: There are many species of aquarium fish, and for most of them the ideal drug dosages and other conditions are unknown. A veterinarian is trained to notice signs of suffering and adjust the process if necessary, giving your fish a less painful death. Only methods reasonable to perform at home are included in this article. Other methods, such as electrocution and lethal injection, are difficult to perform humanely without training, and/or can harm the person performing them. An ice bath or a particular drug may be humane for one fish species, and cause suffering in another. Wherever possible, the instructions below give you the information you need to avoid a mistake. However, an online search for euthanasia information of your specific species can lead to a more concrete recommendation. Most fish species have not been studied, but it's still worth a few minutes in case yours has. Keep the fish in a quiet room. Block light with an opaque aquarium lid, or switch to red lighting, which will barely penetrate the water. These measures will reduce the amount of light stimulation the fish gets, while leaving enough light for you to work. Unless the fish is at death's door, wait until the fish has gone without food for this long. The fish will absorb the lethal drug more quickly on an empty stomach, and be less likely to regurgitate it. Skip this step if you are using a method that does not involve drugs. All the methods listed below are humane ways to euthanize a fish. Read the instructions carefully before you begin. Not all methods are appropriate for all species. A euthanasia bath is not appropriate for fish you intend to eat.

Article in English: There are many varieties of snapper, but red snapper has distinctive bright red metallic skin that fades into pink near the belly. When you're picking out a whole snapper, look for eyes that are clear and red. The flesh should be firm to the touch.  Snapper has become so ubiquitous that it's often used as a catchall term for any kind of white fish. For this reason it's commonly mislabeled as a similar but less desirable fish, like rock cod. When you buy snapper, be sure to do so from a trusted fishmonger so you'll know you're buying the real thing.  Ask for the fish to be gutted and cleaned, unless you want to do so yourself. You’ll need about ¾ of whole snapper per serving. Be sure it's completely preheated before you put the fish in the oven. Choose a metal, glass or ceramic baking pan or dish that's just large enough to hold the fish. Line the pan with aluminum foil to prevent the fish from sticking. Red snapper is delicious with light seasonings that complement its fresh flavor. Sprinkle salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste inside the fish’s cavity. Add pieces of butter inside the fish to keep it moist while it bakes. Season the outside with more salt and pepper.  If you want the dish to have an herbal taste, add sprigs of thyme, rosemary or basil inside the fish's cavity. For a complete meal, place sliced carrots, onions or potatoes around the fish in the baking dish. The vegetables will cook along with the fish. Place the baking dish in the oven and cook the fish for 45 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. It can be a little tricky to tell whether the fish is ready, but you know it's done with the flesh is no longer translucent.  After 40 minutes or so, check the fish to see if it's done. You can gently pull back some flesh with a fork. If it looks white and easily flakes off, it's ready. If it's still a little rubbery, it needs more time. Return it to the oven if it needs more time, then check again in five or ten minutes. Whole red snapper looks impressive on a platter surrounded by fresh...

Article in English: There are many ways that you can avoid contact with people you don’t want to see. If you know their schedule, you can adjust your own to avoid them. The key is to avoid becoming a hermit. Don't just stay in your home all the time. Weigh the pros and cons. Should I risk seeing other people? Is that risk so great that I should just stay at home all the time? There are even apps that can help you avoid people. An app called Cloak collects geo-positioning data from other social medias like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter and then tells you if someone you are trying to avoid is nearby. It is not foolproof, but it can be a good tool especially if you're trying to avoid a person who uses social media a lot. Give them the silent treatment. If you are forced to interact with someone who hasn’t responded to your subtle or direct forms of communication, you might need to resort to more obvious, non-violent measures. The silent treatment isn’t just for children. This is a rather “toxic” maneuver because it is normally perceived as very obvious and rude. It is a quick way to tell people you aren’t interested in talking to them. In many cases, this move can backfire. If you have a person who accepts no blame for their relationship with you, they may try to irritate you into talking. You’ll have to persevere or try something else. Violence is rarely the answer, unless you need to defend yourself. It can be very tempting to strike someone who is bothering you rather than stick to your non-violent methods. You'll want to slap or punch someone who is particularly insulting or annoying, but resist the urge. Use your words not your fists. If your relationship has escalated to harassment and even stalking, you might consider calling the police and filing a restraining order. Restraining orders should not be filed lightly. They can have serious legal repercussions for a person. So don’t file one unless you no longer feel safe around a person. If someone has physically assaulted you or made threatening remarks to you or your loved...

Article in English: There are many ways you can make your stock purchases. Each comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. If you have little or no stock buying experience then you may want to start with a full service firm.  Full service brokerage firms are more expensive, but they come with expert advice.  For instance, your broker’s job is to guide you through the stock-buying process.  He or she is there to answer questions. You may ask things like, “What stocks do you recommend based on my risk tolerance?” and “Do you have research reports on the stocks that I want to buy?” There are many full-service firms to choose from so you can ask around for a recommendation.  For instance, a friend or family may have a broker whom they trust or have used for a long time. If not, then there are some larger, more reputable full service firms that you can explore. Some of these firms include Edward Jones, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Raymond James, and UBS. Keep in mind that if you do go with a full service broker, you are usually going to be paying larger commissions. Commissions are fees that you pay any time you buy or sell a stock.  For example, if you buy $5,000 worth of Disney stock, your broker might charge a $150.00 commission for executing the trade. If you don’t want to pay higher commissions for your stock market activity, you can use a discount or online brokerage firm.  The disadvantage of a discount broker is that you won’t get the advice that you would from a full service brokerage firm. The advantage is that you will pay less and be able to buy your stocks online.  Some reputable discount brokerage firms include Charles Schwab, TD Ameritrade, Interactive Brokers, and E*Trade. These plans allow investors to buy stock directly from the company of their choice. They come in two varieties: direct investment plans (DIPs) and dividend reinvestment plans (DRIPs).  These plans allow you to buy stock without a broker. Both are inexpensive and easy ways for investors to buy stock with smaller amounts of money at regular...

Article in English: There are more options for the visually impaired in the job market than ever before. Visually intense jobs are not suited for the blind, but the vast majority of work in a modern society can be customized to suit someone in your position. There are lists online of work that is suited for the blind. You may be surprised at the variety of work that's available to you in spite of your disability.  Eyesight is only one of the five senses. Consider a profession that values one of the other senses more. Telemarketing, for example, is a sound-based profession and doesn't require sight. A massage therapist, on the other hand, relies primarily on touch. You should cross-reference typical jobs for the blind with the work you would personally be interested in doing. Employment agencies are perfect tools for anyone who is experiencing difficulty finding work, regardless whether they're disabled or not. However, due to the unique issues the visually-impaired face in the job market, these agencies often offer services specifically catered to these cases. Outlets like Career Connect are sometimes in contact with disability organizations to enable the blind to find work. Because visual impairment can prove such a problem with everyday living, there are organizations in place with the specific intent of helping people who are in this position. Reaching out to a blindness organization can give you a major boost in your work search. These people know exactly the kind of difficulties you're going through, and have a personal interest in helping you succeed. Although there have never been so many options for a visually-impaired person in the workplace, there's always the option of becoming self-employed. Being your own boss, you'll be able to allow yourself as many concessions as you need in order to get the job done. Self-employment requires having a great skill or talent and having the vision necessary to monetize it.  Due to how stressful self-employment it usually is, it's not a recommended course of action for most people....

Article in English: There are museums for art, information, history, military and war, transportation, science, animals, theater, and more. Make a list of subjects that interest you or that you enjoyed when you were in school. Then look up where to find a museum about that subject in a city near you. Picking a museum that covers that topic will naturally get you excited about the visit.  For example, if you love to draw, visit an art museum. If airplanes fascinate you, visit an Air Force museum. If you’re making a trip as a family or with friends, and everyone likes different things, you’ll need to compromise. Find a large museum that covers a variety of subjects. The Field Museum in Chicago has permanent exhibits about science, animals, and dinosaurs in addition to their temporary exhibits about various world cultures. Most museums now have online portals which allow you to explore the museum virtually. When looking up your chosen museum, find out what special exhibits are currently there and what activities (talks, displays, or tours) will be happening on the day you visit. Note what time the museum opens and closes. It will typically be less crowded at the beginning and end of the day, but if you wait to go until right before closing, you risk feeling rushed and not seeing everything you wanted to. Also note whether the museum is closed on national holidays or certain days of the week. There will usually be prices posted on their website for adults and children, so calculate how much entry will cost you. If a museum doesn’t accept credit cards, it will likely state that on the site, so read carefully to see if you need to bring cash.  Look for any information regarding free days or discount days. Some museums occasionally offer free or discounted entry on a certain weekday or during a slow period to try to attract more visitors. This may be worth adjusting your visit date for if you want to save money.  Also look into fees for storage. The museum may charge to check your coat or bag, and they may demand you check your bag if...

Article in English: There are several authors who have synthesized multiple ancient Greek authors in order to create compendiums of mythology. Some books to consider include:   Jenny March's The Penguin Book of Classical Myths (2009) – Professor March's work provides a clear, easy to read retelling of the major myths, alongside the latest scholarship on their origins, development, and meanings.  Richard Buxton's The Complete World of Greek Mythology (2004) – Buxton offers an overview of mythology, placing the myths in their social and cultural context. His book is also packed with extras such as genealogical tables and beautiful illustrations.  Edith Hamilton’s Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes (1942) – Hamilton draws on all the great Greek writers, and some Roman ones, too, in compiling her introductory text that covers all the key gods and myths.  Timothy Gantz’s Early Greek Myth: A Guide to Literary and Artistic Sources (1993) – Gant’s book is the most scholarly, and also the densest introduction to Greek mythology. He draws on both early Greek writers and art in order to recreate the myths as they were in the days of Homer and Aeschylus.   Robert Graves’s The Greek Myths (1956) – Graves is a sort of anti-Gantz. He is a wonderful writer, and his myths make for an easy and enjoyable introduction to Greek mythology. His scholarship, on the other hand, is decidedly sub-par, and his theories of the origins of Greek mythology and the relations between its cast of characters have been more or less all disproven. If you are truly interested in Greek mythology, you should go beyond modern re-tellings to the original sources. Though still called Apollodorus’s library, it has more recently been concluded that this 2nd century AD compilation of myths was not in fact written by Apollodorus of Athens. Regardless of its authorship, this compendium brings together most of the major Greek myths and orders them in a way that is still used by the writers of compendiums today. You can find an indexed translation online at...

Article in English: There are several benefits to interval training that will help you get the most out of your runs, and increase your stamina.  Improve cardiovascular capacity. Endurance running can take wind out of you. By using the interval training, you'll increase your anaerobic capacity (oxygen-depleting). And when you combine this with aerobic capacity (oxygen-building with easy runs and long runs), these will end up making you faster. Burning calories. Bursts of energy (the high-intensity part of interval training) will increase the amount of calories you burn. This is true even for relatively short bursts. It adds interest to your running routine. It may seem a small thing, but boredom with your normal running routine can make it much harder to stay motivated. This is the easiest way to incorporate interval training. You simply alternate equal periods of high and low-intensity running.  Start with a ten to fifteen minute warm-up. Start with a rapid walk followed by a slow jog, picking up speed at the end of the warm-up to break into a full run. This will make sure your body is properly warmed-up before you begin the intense speed work If you are first starting out doing intervals, you need to train your body to get used to the hard intervals. Run at high speed for one minute followed by two minutes of slow running or walking. Repeat these intervals six to eight times. Do this for several weeks until you feel comfortable with the rest. Then lower your recovery/rest time by 30 seconds until you are running 50/50 burst (such as one minute burst followed by one minute rest). Make sure you and your body are ready to increase the intensity of the faster pace intervals and reduce your rest/recovery period before you reduce the rest/recovery time. End with a fifteen to twenty-five minute cool-down. Ease from a run to a light jog, and then gradually slow to a walk towards the end of the cool-down period. Pyramid intervals start with short bursts of high intensity and then build up so that the longest period of high-intensity...

Article in English: There are several other ways to go forward after not receiving any acceptance letters. Use this as an opportunity to research alternatives and to come up with a well-thought-out Plan B. Gather information on other schools and alternative paths. For instance, if you want to pursue a career as an attorney, you may want to consider attending a technical or vocational school to become a paralegal or court reporter, or you may want to attend a police academy to become a police officer. You'll then have hands-on experience that you can add to your application and apply when you do become an attorney. This can be a way to improve your grades and build a proven track record of academic success while saving money. Numerous community colleges have open admissions policies. You can then later transfer courses to a four-year institution. Some colleges accept applications for terms other than the fall term. For example, you might be able to enter during the winter or spring term. Summer terms can offer smaller classes and more individualized attention. You could write a letter asking the school to reconsider, although it is extremely rare for a college to reverse their decision. You should include persuasive reasons why they should change their mind about you. Whether or not your appeal is accepted, you can at least know that you tried everything you could to get into that college. Taking a year off between high school and college can be a great choice for some people. You can work, travel, or simply enjoy this time in your life. It's a great opportunity to learn about yourself. It’s also possible to participate in an organized gap year program. There is always more time later to pursue an education, and pausing for a year can help you reassess your career goals. Many factors go into college admissions decisions.

Article in English: There are some rules of fashion that preppy people know and follow. If you want to come off as preppy, always avoid breaking such rules. People will not think of you as truly preppy if you commit certain fashion faux pas.  When wearing loafers, you should never wear socks. Never wear an outfit completely devoid of color. If you're wearing, say, a black dress, wear earrings, a scarf, or a necklace that adds color to your outfit. Preppy people are known to have excellent social graces. Therefore, strive to be polite in social settings. This will make you come off as preppy.  Smile and make eye contact when talking to people. Remember basic manners, like saying things like please, thank you, and excuse me. Follow social conventions. Write a thank-you card when you receive a gift. If you're staying in someone's home, bring the host a gift. Sports like swimming, horseback riding, tennis, and golf are all preppy hobbies. Try to join clubs or teams in your area where you can engage in such hobbies. You can, for example, sign up for horseback riding lessons or join your school's swim team. Part of being preppy is being well groomed at all times. Make sure to wear deodorant, shower daily, and put on a light layer of perfume or cologne. Keep your hair brushed throughout the day and, if you wear makeup, touch it up on occasion. Care for your nails. You don't have to paint them if you don't want to, but keep both your fingernails and toenails trimmed and filed into a nice shape.

Article in English: There are three primary ways to communicate emotions (particularly anger); they fall into the categories of “passive,” “aggressive,” or “assertive.”  Learning to use assertive communication can help you communicate with others in a healthy way.  Passive communication involves becoming progressively angry about something without actually dealing with the problem or confronting the situation in any way.  Passive behavior can often lead to secret revenge or other negative behaviors (known as passive-aggressive behavior).  Aggressive communication involves becoming so angry that you have an outburst that likely seems like an overreaction to the situation from the outside. Aggressive outbursts can also be paired with violence. Assertive communication is a healthy, respectful way to address and confront the person or situation that is causing you to become angry. Part of assertive communication is acknowledging that your needs as well as the needs of the other person (or people) involved are important. This takes the focus off of you and shows that you are appreciative of the needs of others. For example, if you are about to get mad at your husband because he did not pick up dinner on his way home, you could start your conversation by saying, “I know that you have a lot of different responsibilities that weigh on you” (acknowledging his needs). Then you could say, “I also have a lot going on, and when you forget to pick up dinner, it messes up the schedule that I had planned.” Using “please” and “thank you” can go a long way towards seeming respectful of another. Treat the other party with respect, acknowledging that he has a side to the story as well. For example, instead of immediately getting mad at your husband for not picking up dinner, you might say, “do you have an alternate plan for dinner?” He may have come up with another idea.  Even if he did just forget, asking with curiosity about an alternate plan is kinder than immediately demanding, “where is the dinner you said you would pick up?!” when he walks in...

Article in English: There are three types of plastic pipe, and each will only work with certain glues. The easiest way to identify them is to look for the worldwide recycling symbol, a triangle formed from three arrows with a number or letters to identify the type of plastic. Learn how to use this and other identification methods before selecting a glue.  PVC pipe is common in residential plumbing, although it should not be used for distribution lines or other high-temperature applications. It is usually white, or grey if used for electrical or industrial purposes. Its recycling symbol is 6 or PVC. CPVC pipe is PVC pipe treated to withstand higher temperatures. It has an identical recycling symbol (6 or PVC) but is usually tan or cream colored. ABS is an older and more flexible type of plastic piping, usually black in color. It is not suitable for drinking water purposes and in some regions may not be legal for any plumbing uses. Its recycling symbol is 9, ABS, or 7 (other). PEX pipe is the newest type of plastic piping, available in many colors. It is not recyclable. It cannot be glued, and must be attached using mechanical fitting tools. The material that bonds plastic piping together is called solvent cement. Find the specific solvent cement you need after you've identified the type of plastic.  ABS solvent cement will join two ABS pipes together. PVC solvent cement and CPVC solvent cement similarly join two pipes of that type. Transition solvent cement is used to join an ABS pipe to a PVC pipe. Its distinctive green color makes it easy to identify. If you can't find a more specialized product, universal solvent cement will do an okay job for any combination of PVC, CPVC, and ABS. You should still identify your pipe beforehand to rule out PEX pipe, which must be fitted instead of glued. Read the label of the solvent cement to make sure it will work on the size of pipe you're using. To attach a plastic pipe to a metal one, you may need a specific adhesive for that specific plastic and specific metal combination, or a...

Article in English: There are two main types of fuses: cylindrical and plug fuses. Cylindrical fuses consist of a ribbon of fusible metal enclosed in a ceramic or fiber cylinder. This type of fuse is usually used in appliances. Plug fuses are typically used to protect in home electrical wiring and consist of a metal strip through which current must flow. These are placed in an electric circuit so that current flows through the metal strip to complete the circuit. These typically have a window in the plug so you can see the condition of the metal strip.   If excess current flows through the fuse, the metal strip will heat to its melting point and break. This is what blows a fuse.  An ampere, or its abbreviation "amp", is a unit that is used to measure electrical current. Current can be defined as a count of the number of electrons running through a circuit. One amp is the amount of current produced by one volt.   The ampere rating of a fuse is based on the number of amps (i.e the amount of electrical current) a fuse can handle before it will blow. You should have a power-supply with an ampere-rating greater than your fuse ampere-rating. And lastly two wires that will connect the power-supply and the fuse. The ampere-rating of the wires should be greater or equal to power-supply ampere-rating.  In order to blow a fuse, the number of amps produced from the power supply and wires must be greater than that of the fuse. When you want to blow a fuse you need to make sure that you are putting more amps through the fuse than it can handle.  A power supply can be a battery. Copper wires are good conductors of electricity. These, and most fuses, can be purchased from most hardware stores. Consult packaging for amperage ratings. Some fuses may explode, so you need to protect yourself from danger with protective gear.  Wires may get hot when power supply runs through them. Also keep in mind that wires are conductors of electricity. In order to safely handle these, make sure you have gloves made of 100% rubber, as this is the only sure way to...

Article in English: There are two main types of hard drive that you might want to add data to or remove data from:   External hard drive - External hard drives are USB-connected drives. If you're attempting to connect a brand-new external hard drive to a Mac, you may need to format it for your Mac's file system, which is usually Mac OS Extended (Journaled), before you can use it on your Mac. You may also need a USB 3 to USB-C adapter if your Mac only has USB-C slots.  Internal hard drive - Internal hard drives are built to connect directly to your computer's motherboard. You will need to remove the hard drive from its computer, determine whether it is IDE (indicated by a several-inch-wide ribbon connector) or SATA (indicated by a narrow ribbon connector), and find an IDE- or SATA-to-USB adapter. Connect the drive's USB cable to your computer. If you're connecting an internal hard drive, you'll need to connect the adapter to your computer and then attach the IDE or SATA cable to the adapter's appropriate slot. If your Mac doesn't have traditional USB slots, you'll need to find a USB 3 to USB-C adapter as well. Click the blue, face-like app in your Mac's Dock. On the left side of the Finder window, click a folder that contains the files that you want to move onto the attached hard drive. If you want to move files from the hard drive onto your computer, skip ahead to the "Click the attached hard drive's name" step. Click and drag your mouse across the files, or hold down ⌘ Command while clicking individual files to select them independently. You can also click one file and then press ⌘ Command+A to select every file in the folder. Press ⌘ Command+C to do so. It's in the lower-left side of the Finder window. Doing so will open the hard drive's window. Click the hard drive's window, then press ⌘ Command+V. The files will begin copying onto the hard drive. If you're moving files from the hard drive onto your computer, do the following instead: select the hard drive files that you want to move, copy them by pressing ⌘ Command+C, find...

Article in English: There are various traps that you might like to try using, all of which allow you to set the mouse free. The most common traps catch the mouse in a box that it can get in but not out of. This is a humane way to catch mice.  Once you catch them, you will need to release them at least 1 mile (1.6 km) from your home, perhaps in a heavily wooded area to give them somewhere else to go. Killing or removing rodents alone will not typically solve the problem, nor keep mice gone for long. When animals are killed or removed, more will move in to use available resources. In fact, killing or removing mice can actually result in a temporary spike in the food supply, causing remaining rodents to breed. Still, it is better to reduce the population rather than give up. Use a glass bowl and a coin. Invert a large glass bowl with some chocolate stuck to the inside of the bowl. Balance the bowl at an angle with the large coin on the edge, edge to edge. Leave it in an area where you know the mouse roams.  The mouse will enter under the bowl and reach up for the chocolate, upsetting the balance. The bowl will fall and trap the mouse underneath. Remove the mouse and place it far away from the house. You can set up a 10 gallon (37.9 L) aquarium with food in it. Put the aquarium in a spot that the mouse has been seen in, ideally in a place that blocks the mouse's usual path. Place something next to the aquarium that the mouse can crawl up, like a stack of books.  The mouse should try to get the food and jump in to the aquarium. Once inside, the mouse should be trapped by the high walls. Check the trap frequently. Put a top on the aquarium if you find a mouse in there. Release the mouse well away from the house. It will stay under the towel for only a short time, so you need to act quickly. Put an inverted waste-paper basket over the towel. Tuck the exposed bits of towel under the basket so it is in contact with the ground. Slide an LP record or large piece of cardboard under the basket and towel. Carefully turn the basket over the...

Article in English: There are various types of glasses that can be used, some of antique or historical design and others of more modern design. French absinthe glasses, such as reservoir pontarlier glasses, are quite suitable for the French absinthe ritual. Different styles of reservoir glasses are available, but every style will have a distinct or bulbous bottom area that indicates the amount of absinthe that is to be initially poured. This is customary but is not necessary. The sugar is traditionally used to balance the bitter taste of the wormwood. This very slow and gradual addition of the water forms the heart of the absinthe ritual, and is done with or without the sugar. When using sugar, the cold water is dripped over the sugar and into the drink, causing the sugar to slowly dissolve into the absinthe. Very high quality absinthe can be expertly experienced simply with the ice cold water.  Three or four ounces of water are added per ounce of absinthe. Ice cubes can be added to the pitcher of water if desired, but be sure that they don't fall into the glass of absinthe. As the water is added to the absinthe, the absinthe should gradually louche. Absinthe fountains were traditionally used to drip the ice cold water into absinthe drinks. Brouilleur devices can also be used to automatically drip the water into individual glasses. The brouilleur is placed over the glass, and water, ice cubes, or ice water (as well as sugar if desired) is added to it. The water will gradually drip through the brouilleur into the absinthe. The brouilleur is removed before drinking the prepared absinthe. Two or three ice cubes can be added to the finished drink, but this practice may be frowned upon by absinthe purists.

Article in English: There comes a lot of things that you'll need to consider when you're living with your best friend and one of them is that you show respect. Not only respect them (which you most likely do already) but respect their personal belongings and their personal space too. Don't go through their stuff without asking them first - even if they say, "What's mine is yours", they could still get angry with you and an argument can occur. It's ideal to hang out with each other but when your best friend is clearly busy with something/someone and doesn't want to be disturbed, respect that and leave them alone until they're free. Another thing would be respecting their personal beliefs, and problems concerning that could have been avoided if you talked about before you actually moved in together. However, if, for example, they initially forget to tell you that they can't have pork in the house because of their beliefs and you get into an argument after you cook some bacon, sincerely apologise and make sure not to upset them over the same thing again. Practicing good hygiene isn't always something that crosses someone's mind as a potential problem when they want to live with their friend because they would expect them to do that anyway. However, you could end up surprised when you figure out that they are not as hygienic as you thought they were. This is the same for them; what you might find acceptable might come across as inconsiderate and "bad manners" to them. Leaving dirty dishes, dirty underwear, juice cartons, used disposable razors, take-away containers and other health and safety hazards laying around will give you some unwanted guests and they can potentially even do some harm to the both of you. Be considerate and think twice about putting dirty cutlery back in the drawer or not washing the bathtub after you use it. Encourage each other to clean up after your own mess and maybe even talk about a couple of unsanitary things around the house every now and then to give them a hint. If it doesn't bother you too much,...

Article in English: There is a common misconception that grammar does not exist in the Chinese language, but this is not true. Chinese grammar rules do exist, they are just very different to those in Indo-European or other language systems. Unlike these languages, Chinese is a very analytic language which is both good news and bad news for language learners.  For instance, in Chinese, there are no complicated rules about conjugations, agreement, gender, plural nouns or tense. Most words consist of single syllables which are then combined to make compound words. This makes sentence construction fairly straightforward. However, Chinese has its own set of grammar rules which do not have an equivalent in English, or other Indo-European languages. For example, Chinese uses grammatical features such as classifiers, topic-prominence and preference for aspect. As these features are not used in English, they can be quite difficult for learners to grasp. However, despite the differences, Chinese does use the same word order as English mostly, i.e. subject - verb - object, making it easier to translate word for word. For example, the English phrase "he likes cats" is translated directly as "tā (he) xǐ huan (likes) māo (cats). Pinyin is a system used for writing Mandarin Chinese using the Roman alphabet. Hanyu Pinyin is the most common form of such Romanization and is used in many textbooks and teaching materials.  Pinyin allows students of Mandarin to focus on their pronunciation, while also enabling them to read and write, without needing to learn complex Chinese characters. Although Pinyin uses the Roman alphabet, the pronunciation of its letters is often not intuitive to English speakers, which is why it must be studied carefully before it can be used. For example, the letter "c" in Pinyin is pronounced like the "ts" in the word "bits", the letter "e" is pronounced like the "er" in the word "hers" and the letter "q" is pronounced like the "ch" in the word "cheap". Due to these differences, it is essential that you learn the correct...

Article in English: There is a passive-aggressive conflict style that can develop in a person with passive-aggressive tendencies.    Stage one of the passive-aggressive conflict cycle is the development of passive-aggressive behaviors. As they develop socially, individuals usually think that direct expressions of anger are perilous and should be avoided . The person then solves his anger issues by masking the anger with passive-aggressive behaviors.  Stage two of the passive-aggressive conflict cycle is a stressful situation that triggers irrational thoughts based on these early life experiences. For example, if a teacher asks a student to pass out a worksheet and that student has a prior history of being asked to do things and not being appreciated for it, the student might fall back on this history in the current situation. Instead of feeling honored by being asked to help, the student will feel resentful because the request has triggered a pre-learned response.   Stage three occurs when the passive-aggressive individual denies his or her anger, which can lead to projecting negative feelings onto other people and building resentment towards others.   Stage four of the cycle is to engage in passive-aggressive behavior. This includes (but is not limited to): denying feelings of anger, withdrawing, sulking, pouting, procrastinating, carrying out tasks inefficiently or unacceptably, and exacting hidden revenge.    Stage five of this cycle is the reactions of others. People typically react negatively to passive-aggressive behavior and, often, this is what the aggressor is hoping for.  This reaction then only acts as reinforcement for the behavior and the cycle will begin again. You may become overwhelmed if you start listing every time you have ever shown passive-aggressive behavior.  Instead, identify three or four episodes when you realized you were passive aggressive.  One place that you may have acted passive-aggressively is in the workplace.  There are four specific behaviors that are common to passive aggressive habits at...

Article in English: There is a wide range of potato varieties to choose from, but they generally fall under five basic categories: first early, second early, early main crop, main crop, and late main crop. Knowing what category your selected potato variety falls under will tell you when to plant and harvest it.  Plant early varieties as early as March or April. They'll take between 75-90 days to mature for harvest. However, if you plant them too early, they could be damaged by frost. Plant mid-season potatoes from May to July. They'll take between 85-110 days to mature for harvest. Mid-season potatoes grow best in warmer climates and temperatures. Plant late season potatoes from July to August. They'll take between 120-135 days to mature for harvest. These potatoes usually tolerate winter temperatures and frost better than early varieties. The entire bottom of the pot should be covered. Lightly pat the soil down with your hands to make sure that it is firmly packed. If the soil is not solid enough, the potatoes will sink to the very bottom of the pot. Both the fiberglass screen and the pebble/stone layer should be fully covered and no longer visible after you add the soil. Use a scoop or spade to lightly sprinkle granular organic fertilizer on top of the first soil layer in the pot. The amount that you use will depend on the type of fertilizer that you buy and the size of your pot. Read the instructions on the fertilizer's package carefully and follow them directly.  Choose a fertilizer that is explicitly for container planting. An organic or vegetable-specific blend is even better. Once your potatoes are established, you'll want to feed them liquid fertilizer as often as every 2 weeks. Again, reference the fertilizer's package for instructions. Space the tubers at least 6 inches (15 cm) apart. Ensure that they are not touching one another or the edge of the pot. Do not overcrowd each pot by planting more than the recommended amount of seed potatoes.  When the potatoes are in position, press them gently into the soil and...

Article in English: There is a wide variety of choices, but not all of them will align with your personal preferences. Some are commercially produced from chemicals, some come from plants, while others are based on essential oils. The origin of the scent may impact your choice to use it, especially if you're concerned about chemicals in your home environment.  Typical sources of scenting candles include:  Commercial candle making scents: These are in liquid form and are available from most stores that sell candle making supplies. The strength of the scent will vary from brand to brand and whether or not you have access to a full list of ingredients will depend on the manufacturer's willingness to provide this. Expect to use about 1 ounce of liquid scent to every 2 pounds of melted wax. Fragrance oils: These are 100% synthetic and are not specifically made for candles but usually still work for scenting them. The same issues as the commercial scents apply. Most are highly concentrated, so use of these should be sparing. Expect to use about 10-15 drops of fragrance oil per 1 pound of melted wax. Essential oils: These are produced naturally from plants such as herbs and flowers. They have specific properties, which can be found by doing an online search or using a book on essential oils. Not all essential oils will work well with wax, so you may need to do a test first. Expect to use about 10-15 drops of essential oil per 1 pound of melted wax. Natural sources of scent: This covers such things as crushed or powdered plants, spices and herbs, finely ground zest, etc. Some work really well with melted wax, such as ground cinnamon, crushed lavender flowers or finely ground lemon zest. Others may not meld as well though, or can stop the wax from turning hard or prevent the wick from burning, so do your research first. Expect to use about 1 teaspoon of ground spice, herb or zest per 1 pound of wax.

Article in English: There is no incorrect reply. Your response may be silence, a shrug, or “I don't know.” You may reply with a vague, hazy answer or a toned-down version of what it is that you really want. Sit with the answer, mull it over for awhile. Consider why you don't know. Identify the glimpses of your honest response in your hazy reply. Capture the essence of your toned-down answer.  If your answer is silence, a shrug, or “I don't know,” overcome the fear that you may never find happiness or that you don't deserve to feel content. Respond again with a fresh perspective!  Let go of any guilt and recognize that your hopes and dreams have evolved. What used to make you happy no longer satisfies you and that is perfectly normal! Your happiness does not need to be defined by what your friends, family, or coworkers think brings you joy. Elevate your response by expanding upon those glimpses of honesty in your hazy answer or extrapolating the essence of your toned-down reply. For example, if your original reply was “I want to be happier with my career” you would elevate your answer by identifying people, places, or things that make you feel happy. Continue to push your answer further until it is specific enough to be attained. For example, if animals make you happy, consider pursuing a career as a vet or volunteering at a shelter in your spare time. If working with kids brings you joy, consider becoming an elementary school teacher. If helping others creates feelings of fulfillment, search for a job in the service industry. This process may take awhile. Remain patient, allow yourself to feel frustrated, but never dwell on the impossibility of your answer. Allow your answer to guide you to happiness. Don't worry about the when, where, or why. You can't control those factors. You can only control how you pursue your happiness. Make an effort to pursue your happiness every day. This will require you to step outside of your comfort zone. The risks, however, will force you to grow into a brazen, driven, and happy individual.

Article in English: There is no legal age restriction on when you can get your ears pierced, but you will need signed consent from a parent if you are under the age of sixteen. The average age that people get their ears pierced is seven, but it ranges from infant to adulthood.  If you are in school it is important to consider your school’s rules on body piercings. If they are not allowed, you might want to wait to get them pierced.  A good indicator of whether you are old enough to get your ears pierced is if you can take care of pierced ears. Getting your ears pierced involves two costs: the cost of the piercing and the cost of the jewelry. You will need to pay the piercer for their time and materials, and pay for the earrings you will have pierced. Sometimes you can bring your own earrings, but that is uncommon. Make sure you have the money together before you commit to getting your ears pierced.  The cost will range depending on where you go. If you go to a mall shop (like Claire’s) you will pay less than if you go to a piercing salon. A salon will likely be more sterile and have more jewelry to choose from.  The average cost of an earlobe piercing is between $20 and $55, depending on the jewelry. Getting your ears pierced is not a very painful process, but it does sting for a few seconds. Spend some time considering whether you feel you have the proper pain tolerance for a piercing. Most piercers will apply numbing agents to your ears before they pierce them to dull the pain. Some types of ear piercings hurt more than others. The typical earlobe piercing is the least of the painful piercings. Sometimes you can expect swelling and redness after the piercing. These can cause irritation and pain if you touch your ears too much.

Article in English: There is no magic bullet to weight loss.  Even with diet pills, you'll need to modify your diet to help support and maintain weight loss.  Include appropriate servings and portions from each food group:  Include sources of lean protein at every meal.  Serving sizes should be around 3-4 ounces or the size of a deck of cards.  Include foods like:  poultry, lean beef, eggs, low-fat dairy, seafood, legumes and tofu.  Include six to eight servings of fruits and vegetables daily.  One serving of fruit is about 1/2 cup or one small fruit and one serving of vegetables is 1 cup or 2 cups of leafy greens.  Eat about two to three servings of grains.  One serving is 1/2 cup or about 1 ounce.  If you can, make most of your grain choices whole grain for added health benefits.  Choose:  oats, quinoa, brown rice, or 100% whole wheat bread. You should eat about three portions of dairy every day. One serving of dairy is equivalent to 1 cup of milk, 1 ½ ounces of natural cheese, or 2 ounces of processed cheese. In addition to eating a healthy diet, its important to monitor portions or count calories to help induce weight loss.  Each person will need a different amount of calories depending on their age, gender and activity level.  However, to lose weight you may need to cut calories by about 500 calories daily.  This generally results in a 1-2 pound weight loss per week.  Measuring your portions can also help manage calories.  Stick to smaller portions for less calories at each meal and snack.  Take the time to measure the recommended portion sizes for protein, fruits, vegetables and grains. Use a food diary or download a calorie-tracking app onto your smartphone. One source of calories that should be limited are those calories coming from sweetened or sugary beverages.  These calories provide little to no nutrition and can lead to weight gain.  Limit beverages like:  regular soda, sweetened coffee drinks, sweetened tea, sports or energy drinks, fruit juices, and alcoholic beverages that include these beverages as mixers. Try...

Article in English: There is no need to change any of your basic network or wireless settings. Choose "Yes" from the options. Usually “guest” is just appended on the end of your current network’s name. Some routers may allow you to change this name. Just make sure it’s not the same name as your current network. Since you’re technically creating a new network, you have to define a corresponding network password.  It is a good idea not to use the same password of your home network. You may have the option to define how many you would allow to use the guest network at any given time.   Fewer people using your network would mean better quality of connection for everyone on the network. Remember, your actual bandwidth won’t increase and everyone would just share. You may opt to have this guess network broadcasted or hidden.

Article in English: There is no one physical characteristic, appearance, profession, or personality type that all child molesters share. Child molesters can be any sex or race, and their religious affiliations, occupations and hobbies are as diverse as anyone else's. A child molester may appear to be charming, loving, and completely good-natured while harboring predatory thoughts that he or she is adept at hiding. That means you should never dismiss the idea that someone could be a child molester out of hand. Thirty percent of children who have been sexually abused were abused by a family member, and 60 percent were abused by an adult they knew who was not a family member. That means only 10 percent of children who are sexually abused were targeted by a total stranger.  In most cases, the child molester turns out to be someone known to the child through school or another activity, such as a neighbor, teacher, coach, member of the clergy, music instructor, or babysitter.  Family members like mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles, cousins, stepparents, and so on may also be sexual predators. While anyone can turn out to be a child molester, the majority of child molesters are men, regardless of whether their victims are male or female. Many sexual predators have a history of abuse in their own past, either physical or sexual.  Some also have mental illness, such as a mood or personality disorder.  Heterosexual and homosexual men are equally likely to be child molesters. The idea that homosexual men are more likely to be child molesters is a complete myth.  Female child molesters are more likely to abuse boys than girls. A child molester often doesn't display as much interest in adults as they do in children. They may have jobs that allow them to be around children of a certain age group, or contrive other ways to spend time with children by acting as a coach, babysitter or neighbour trying to help.  Child molesters tend to talk about or treat children as though they are adults. They might refer to a child as...

Article in English: There is no real substitute for sticky rice; it is a type of rice (like brown rice) and not a dish (like fried rice). The flavor and texture of these recipes will be different because you are using regular rice. Also, be aware that even if you cook regular rice so that it becomes mushier or stickier, it still may not be sticky enough for nigiri-style sushi. Are you looking to make sticky rice out of regular rice because you cannot find it in a store? If you can't find sticky rice anywhere, try searching for "sweet rice," or "glutinous rice." They are the same thing. Try using another short-grain rice or risotto rice. Both will have a stickier texture once cooked (compared to medium and long-grained rice). Short-grain rice is stickier than other types of rice once cooked because it has more starch in it.

Article in English: There is no standard for replying to “thank you” in an email. Your response should fit the expectations of your audience and your personality.  Use email in a way that fits your personality. If you are a chatty or outgoing person, go ahead and say “you're welcome” or “it's my pleasure” in response to a “thank you” email or text message.  Consider your audience when replying via email or text. Younger audiences might not expect a reply to an email or text saying “thank you.” Older people often have different expectations for etiquette, and may very well appreciate a reply such as “you're welcome.”  You may want to avoid emojis, smileys, and other images when responding to someone in email. These may be too informal for the situation. Consider your personality and your audience. If you are a chatty person in face to face conversations, it may be best to respond to a “thank you” email. However, if you are not very outgoing, you can probably get away without a response. You can write, “you're welcome” and then move on to the next conversation topic.  You may want to respond to the “thank you” email if there is also a question requiring a response in the email. In this case, you can say “you're welcome” and then answer their question.  You may want to respond to the “thank you” email if there was a specific comment in it that you wanted to address. In this case, you could say “you're welcome” and then address the comment that you wanted to talk about to continue the conversation.

Article in English: There is nothing more constant than change. Seasons, weather, trends, technology - you name it; it is steadily changing. Know that nothing lasts forever. If you are experiencing hard times, they won't endure. On the flip side, if your life is currently exceptional, be thankful for the good, but recognize that harder days will surely come again. One way to stop seeing change as all "bad" is to recognize that you yourself and everyone you meet is constantly evolving. Whether you saw them the day before or weeks ago, each time you meet a person, you are seeing a newer, changed version. Time has passed. They have encountered new experiences, thought new ideas. Humans are not fixed in time, and neither is life. If your expectations are too high and unrealistic, you will continually be disappointed by the outcome. When they are too rigid, you don’t leave room for growth or change. When you set expectations that are more reasonable, you have higher self-esteem and are better equipped to handle whatever comes your way.  An example of an unrealistic expectation may be "I need to make all A's in college" while a more realistic expectation may be that "I need to put in a lot of effort to do well in college". You can improve how you manage expectations by regularly reassessing whether they are achievable by you, and by exploring a range of options rather than being focused on only one outcome. If another person is placing unrealistic expectations on you, talk to the person and explain how the pressure to perform is affecting you. You might say something like “When you expect this out of me, I end up ___”. Experiential learning is learning obtained through action, or through discovery and exploration.

Article in English: There is very little you can actually do to make your eyelashes grow faster. Your best bet will be to simply keep the eyelashes from falling back out again, which means your focus should be on prevention and maintenance. Expect that it will take awhile for your lashes to grow back in and that in the mean time, you will need to work to maintain that growth. If you know the cause of your eyelash loss was from something like chemo or hormone problems, don't worry about this. However, if your loss was unexplained, you will want to avoid wearing makeup around your eyes. There are two reasons for this. The first is that makeup does expire after awhile and the bacteria it grows can cause your eyelash loss. Another reason is that some people are allergic to the ingredients in makeup and this make have aggravated your skin enough to cause the hair loss. Wash it off every night if you do wear makeup. This will keep it from irritating your skin and lashes any more than necessary. Eyelash loss is often caused by an overgrowth of bacteria around the eyelids and face. Wash your face every day with gentle soaps designed for the face in order to keep bacteria under control. You also don't want your skin to dry out, since the micro cracks that can form can cause even more infections. If you are eating a particularly limited diet, this can have an effect on hair growth and health. Not getting enough vitamin D, vitamin A, and complete protein can cause or worsen hair loss. Eat a well balanced diet with a wide range of foods in order to make sure that your body has what it needs to make healthy hair. Foods rich in these nutrients include fortified cereals, milk, carrots, kale, fish, and nuts. Overusing or incorrectly using an eyelash curler can accidentally pull out your eyelashes, especially if the hair is already weak. Don't use your eyelash curler for awhile and see if this helps keep your eyelashes in place. There is a sea of bacteria on your hands and when you touch your face (to scratch, pick, wipe, etc), you're...

Article in English: There may be a number of reasons why you feel you want or need to talk your ex. And there are multiple perspectives to consider. Are you trying to talk to your ex because up until now you haven’t remained in touch? Or have you tried to remain friends, and now you want to talk to them about getting more distance? Do you have to talk to your ex because children are involved? Think about your reasons for a little while to ensure it is truly what you want to do. While the relationship may have ended, there must have been something good about it at some point. Continuing to bring up wounds and complaints will not help solve problems, and it does not help the relationship between you if you’re trying to remain friends. If you have children with your ex, consider the effect of complaining on them, as well. You don’t want to make your children feel like their parent is a terrible person by constantly complaining. Don’t beat around the bush. If there is something important you want or need to say to your ex, try not to be too subtle about it. Don’t use hints or passive remarks, be clear and honest. Explain any potential boundaries you need (e.g., texting/no texting, emails/no emails, etc.). Are you possibly looking for a casual relationship only involving sex? While your ex could potentially be a good candidate, there is also a possibility that they still harbor romantic feelings for you. Attempting to start a new type of relationship with your ex, without setting up very clear expectations, may only lead to additional heartbreak. It’s easy to rely on the familiar when you’re having a moment of loneliness or despair. You may think your ex might be the best way to make you feel better. However, you must be careful to avoid relying on your ex as an emotional crutch. Reach out to other friends and sources of support too. Regardless of what your decision ends up being (to talk to, or not to talk to, your ex) remember there was a reason you broke up in the first place. If you’re thinking there might be a way to make things...

Summary in Russian:

Спросите себя следующее: Не стоит контактировать со своей бывшим(ей) только потому, что хотите на него/нее пожаловаться. Будьте честны. Не посылайте ложных сигналов. Не используйте свою своего бывшего партнера в качестве опоры для своих эмоциональных потрясений. Не забывайте, почему вы расстались.


Article in English: There may be certain situations in which your parents are more likely get abusive. You may also notice changes in your parents' mood or behavior right before abuse happens. Learning to recognize the warning signs can help you prepare yourself better or plan to avoid situations where abuse is most likely to happen.  For example, if you have a parent who drinks, you may notice that they are more abusive when they have been drinking. You may also notice that particular types of abuse are likely in specific situations. For example, an abusive parent might have a tendency to put you down in front of company. When someone is emotionally attacking you, it's easy to give in to the urge to yell, cry, or attack back. If your parent begins yelling at you or belittling you, stop and take a few deep breaths and slowly count to 10 in your head before you respond. This will give you a moment to calm yourself and think about what you want to do or say.  If you can, step out of the room for a few moments before you react. Physically separating yourself from the other person can help you get control of your emotions and collect your thoughts. Do your best to ignore what they say to you. Try to create physical distance, but if you can't leave, try turning your thoughts to something you enjoy. You might think over the lyrics of an empowering song that you enjoy, recite a poem in your mind, or go to your "happy place." Remember, their words are false, and it's not okay that you are being spoken to this way. Depending on the type of abuse that is happening, you may be able to say something to your parents about it. Be clear in what you say, and if possible, include examples. Avoid being abusive back to them by name-calling, yelling, or screaming. Instead, talk calmly about your experience and how it affects you.  For example, you might say, “I don't know if you're aware of how mean you get when you drink,” or, “It doesn't feel right to feel so humiliated. I don't want to feel this way. Please speak more kindly to me.” Many...

Summary in Russian:

Различайте модели насильственного поведения. Старайтесь сохранять спокойствие в такие моменты. Поговорите с родителями. Скажите родителям, что их поведение недопустимо. Давайте выход эмоциям. Попробуйте проводить меньше времени с родителями. Обращайтесь за помощью в случае опасности.


Article in English: There may not be enough time for everything, so get your priorities straight and don't beat yourself up if you don't accomplish every single task you've set out to do on a given day. Stay positive and be thankful that you have the opportunity to make a living and get an education — two things many people in the world go without. Going to school and working at the same time is not for everyone. Be realistic and prioritize. Don't let going to school jeopardize your income and your family's well-being. By taking on work and studies at the same time, you're accepting a challenge that many wouldn't dare attempt. But, you wouldn't be doing it if you weren't motivated. Maybe you want to pay your way through school and remain debt-free or you want to get ahead in your career. No matter what, be sure to keep your goals in mind whenever it starts to feel like too much. If you try to accomplish all of this by yourself, it will be infinitely more difficult. If you find yourself increasingly irritable, withdrawing from social interaction, distracted or forgetful, anxious, or emotionally strained, talk to someone. Talk to your significant other, your parents, your friends, or even a professional counsellor. Many colleges have full-time counselors, advisors, and therapists that can help you work through your issues. One of the first steps to success is knowing how to depend on others. Don’t start and stop. Taking a semester off may seem like a fine idea, but only do so for extraordinary circumstances, such as illness, serious injury, or a death in the family.  If you find you are tiring of school, reduce your course load for the next semester and take at least one class that you’ll enjoy. Otherwise, you risk losing the momentum and never returning. What you aspire to do each day and what you actually managed to do. This will help in attaining your goal on a daily basis. Create some sort of progress measurement.  Cross completed classes off of a list or use a countdown clock to measure time to completion.  This will help...

Article in English: There should be a small slot at the top of the R4 card into which the microSD card fits. As with the microSD card's adapter card, the microSD card only fits one way. The R4 card should fit into the slot into which you usually insert your games' cards.  Make sure that the microSD card is snugly inserted into the R4 card as well. On the original DS, you may first have to plug a card reader into the bottom of the DS. Press the "Power" button to turn on the DS. Once the DS finishes powering on, you should see a "MicroSD Card" option (or something similar) on the bottom screen. The game that you downloaded in ROM format should be displayed here. Select it to open it on your DS and begin playing!

Article in English: There should be no reason to fret about how eloquent your love poem is, because your emotions are all that count to the person you love. As you write a love poem, it is important to stay on track and avoid distractions. Once your words begin to flow, you don't want to be interrupted with mundane tasks. It is not necessary to write a love poem that rhymes, so if you have a free verse in your heart, then write it down that way. Think of how the person makes you feel, and write about it. Ask yourself questions about who they are, how they view the world and how they change your world for the better. Don't try to make your love poem sound smarter than it should. Don't look for large vocabulary words or use a thesaurus. Just write your feelings out in an uncomplicated manner when you write a love poem. Your succinct feelings pack the most punch. Simply tell him how you feel when you are away from him, and how you feel when you are together. Tell him all the things you would say in person if you had the time to put the words together in the right way.Read it out loud as your write your love poem. This is important, because more important than a rhyming poem, is a poem that has good strong rhythm throughout. This means that as you read you should feel a rhythm in your voice that stays through the entire reading. When you write a love poem for Valentine's Day or a birthday, you should make it look pretty on nice paper, and wrapped in a nice little box. The presentation is not vital, but it adds something special to your words and present.

Summary in Russian:

Отложите в сторону свои страхи и приготовьтесь изливать душу. Устройтесь в каком-нибудь тихом месте, где вы сможете побыть наедине со своими любовными мыслями. Возьмитесь за перо и позвольте вдохновению окутать вас. Не усложняйте. Преподнесите стихотворение в качестве подарка и красиво упакуйте.


Article in English: There will be days when you feel like giving up and there will be days where you almost get something only to be let down hours later by the call not coming in, the job offer being withdrawn due to circumstances beyond your control and yet another rejection email landing in your in-box. It happens a lot and will keep happening. When you feel especially bad, take the day off. Just like you would at work if it all got on top of you. Go and do something completely unrelated, give your head a break and start over again tomorrow. It'll all still be there waiting for you. Persevere, keep applying, keep ringing, keep visiting, keep emailing. You can wear people down, you can impress people with your temerity and certainty, you can hit the sweet spot when you least expect it. But you'll only manage these wonderful moments by participating and being ready to take up the opportunities, however uncommon or tenuous they may seem. It may seem pointless and endless at times but with each application, you open up a new possibility and you continuously improve your skills at getting through to people. You may be unemployed but you still matter. You're a professional job-seeker. But you may also be a mom/dad/aunt/uncle/grandparent, a skilled sportsperson, a keen hobbyist, a lover extraordinaire, a beer connoisseur, a volunteer carer, an author-in-hiding, a community member, a frugal cook, and so forth. You are the sum of many parts and your unemployment does not define you. It may feel as if it's confining you but it isn't determining your worth. Stay committed to striving to be the best you can be. You have the space and time to think of what you really want from life. Treat this time out of work as a wake-up call, an opportunity to reassess the direction in which you're headed. Was that last job even what you wanted to do in life? Even if it was, had you reached the heights you'd hope to have by now? What are the things that really matter to you in your future? Map them out now and treat this as a reawakening, a time to...

Summary in Russian:

Поймите, что нелегко быть безработным. Имейте мужество – только тот, кто сдается, никогда не получит еще один шанс. Помните, кто вы есть. Составьте жизненный план. Погрузите себя в некоторое саморазвитие. Путешествуйте. Включайте фантазию.


Article in English: There will come a time when your four-legged friend will recognize it is time to go for a walk by you simply reaching for the leash. Introduce this in your dog’s mind early on by using a collar at a young age. Place the collar around the dog’s neck and say “let’s walk” with the leash in full view. You want to make sure the collar isn’t too tight around your dog’s neck. A good rule of thumb is to ensure you can place one to two fingers between the collar and your dog’s neck.  You also don’t want the collar to be loose enough to slip over your dog’s ears if it tries to back out of it. Consistency is important when training your dog to walk. Choosing a side for the dog to walk establishes its spot in the activity. The puppy will become accustomed to walking with you by knowing what to expect. Just keep in mind that walking on a leash is not a natural occurrence for your pet. An adjustment period should be expected. The most important aspect of learning how to walk your dog is maintaining control so that your pet doesn’t dictate the walk. You are the boss and this should be reflected in your walking relationship as well.  Wrap your traditional leash around your hand until there is very little give between you and your pet. Pull the leash close to your body but allow enough give to allow your dog to walk naturally. Your dog will feel the resistance of the leash and realize that getting ahead of you is unacceptable. Your dog understands the tone in your voice. Don’t get frustrated. Encourage your dog with a “good job” or “way to go” when it does something right. Use a stern voice when instructing it not to do the wrong things, like bark at people passing by or growling at other dogs. Use treats when teaching your dog to walk but especially when you want to teach your pet to not pull on the leash. Reward often and consistently.    Reserve a treat that your dog especially likes for training purposes.  Many dogs are quite enthusiastic about pieces of hot dog, cheese, or jerky. Make sure these treats are easy to eat...

Summary in Russian:

Наденьте на собаку ошейник и поводок. Ошейник должен быть закреплен достаточно плотно, но не тесно. Подумайте, с какой стороны вы хотите вести собаку. Немного натяните поводок. Разговаривайте с собакой. Вознаграждайте собаку за хорошее поведение.


Article in English: There's no right answer; the choice really just depends on what you're comfortable with. You might prefer to pray out loud to help keep you on track as you're talking to God. On the other hand, if you want to pray privately and there are other people around, you might choose to pray in your head. However you choose to pray, know that God can hear you, whether it's out loud, in your head, or when your heart is hurting so much you can't even find words. You can pray anywhere, and at any time, but if you want to take the time to really express what's on your mind, it's best to pray somewhere quiet, away from any distractions. You can even set aside a certain time of the day that you dedicate to prayer, like first thing in the morning, while you're driving to work, or before you go to bed each night. During those times, turn off the TV or radio and mute your phone so you won't be interrupted. For some people, kneeling to pray shows humility before God, and it helps to put them in the right frame of mind before they say a prayer. However, you may prefer to sit, stand, or even lie down when you're praying. By writing down the things you want to pray about, you can help keep your mind from wandering while you talk to God. Or, at the very least, it can help get you back on track when you lose your place.  This is especially helpful if you have a lot on your mind. It can also help you narrow down what's really important to you. Consider starting a prayer journal, where you write down your prayers in a notebook each day. When you look back through the journal, you'll be amazed at the way God has worked in your life.

Summary in Russian:

Решите, будете ли вы молиться вслух или мысленно. Найдите тихое место, где вас никто не потревожит. Решите, будете ли вы стоять на коленях, сидеть или стоять. Запишите молитву, если вам трудно сохранять концентрацию.


Article in English: There’s a chance that your wife may not see her behavior as abusive. Let her know that you are uncomfortable with the way she treats you. You can do this by speaking up about your discomfort and communicating the consequences if the behavior doesn't stop.  For example, if your wife insults you, you might say, “Do not call me names. If you continue to do so, I will leave.” Try to verbalize the boundary when the behavior is happening, so there is no confusion. Most abusive spouses have red flags that signal when the abuse may occur. Your wife, for instance, may be more likely to hit you when she has consumed alcohol.  If you spot a trigger or red flag, get away from your wife. Leave the home and go someplace safe. If you cannot leave the home, go to a room with a door that locks where can stay safe until your wife either leaves or calms down. If your wife is being abusive, try to remain calm. One way to relieve tension and calm yourself is by practicing  deep breathing. This exercise can be performed in the moment to help you collect yourself during the abuse. Breathe in deeply from your nose, hold the breath briefly, and then exhale through your mouth. Repeat this cycle several times to get better control of yourself. Being on the receiving end of abuse may be tough, but try your best not to act out with violence. Retaliation will not help your case.  If you are a man who lays a hand on your wife, your chances of proving she's abusive fly out the window. The authorities will already be biased towards her, simply because women are more commonly the victims of abuse. Whether you are a man or a woman, if she tries to engage you in a fight, walk away. If you hurt her, you may be the one who's arrested. Identify someplace you can go when your wife is being abusive. This place could be the home of a friend, relative, or neighbor, or a public place like a park or library. If you have children, you might bring them along, especially if you think they are in danger. Letting them listen to continuous arguing is also not...

Article in English: There’s a good possibility that if you get romantically involved with the wrong person, that this is due to relationship patterns that you developed in childhood. Think of recurring themes in your relationships, what went wrong, the kind of people you typically date, and what actions led up you to becoming romantically involved with the wrong person in the past.  Try to be as honest with yourself as you can be when evaluating past relationships. It may be hard to reflect on these past relationships, but it’s a critical step to improving. If you can determine a similar trait in the people you’ve dated in the past, you can make sure to specifically look out for that in future relationships. Sometimes people’s expectations of other people can be unrealistic when it comes to romance. While you do not have to lower your standards, you may want to think critically about your expectations when looking for a person, and consider whether your expectations are realistic or unattainable. Try making a list of your expectations and examine them one by one to see if they are realistic and attainable.  For example, if one of your expectations is "the person must be rich," then this might not be realistic. However, you could revise this to something like, "I want to become involved with someone who has a stable job and some ambition." Sometimes people’s expectations of a person are high in areas that don’t matter in the long run, like how attractive or trendy the person is, but low in areas that actually matter like personality, humor, or temperament. Movies and TV shows can also alter your expectations of a romantic relationship. Do not rely on entertainment to form your idea of a healthy romantic relationship. Our prefrontal cortex determines whether we find someone physically attractive within milliseconds, but cannot determine the character of a person within that same period of time. If you regularly get romantically involved with the wrong person, it could be because your brain is tricking you into thinking that the...

Article in English: There’s a good reason why people call step-families “blended homes.” It takes effort and compromise to meld together two families. Since you’re a member of the household, you might be able to have some say when your parents decide how things will run. Ask to be included in these discussions.  Add your perspective when it comes to planning and rulemaking, especially if you are a bit older. You might also ask your biological parent if you can express your opinion, like “Dad, can I add my opinion, too?” Focus on compromising.  While your perspective matters, it is also important to consider the perspectives of your step-siblings and try to reach a compromise. Try to imagine what your step-siblings’ needs are and how they might be feeling about the changes. For example, if your step-siblings moved in with you and your parent, then your step-siblings might be feeling uncomfortable about their new surroundings or even missing their old home. See whether you can hold a whole family meeting to set new family rules and chores so that everyone knows his or her responsibilities and no one gets extra consideration. Chime in at family meetings and don't be shy to share your thoughts or opinions.  During the meetings, you should communicate openly. If you want to keep your old room, say so and give your reasons why. You may not get your way in the end, but it’s better that your family blending take in everyone’s perspective. You should also try to be respectful of your step-siblings and be a good listener during the family meetings. Remember that you’re trying to solve problems, not to win an argument. You will not get your way in everything – a new family takes compromise. ” You’ll need a certain amount of acceptance in order to get along with your new step-siblings. Things in your family are changing and won’t be like they were in the past. While you can’t go back, you do have some say over how well your new family gets along.  Don’t feel like you need to hit it off with your step-siblings immediately. But be open to...

Article in English: These anchors are generally plastic and come with the screws that you insert into them. You will need a drill and a masonry bit the same size as the anchors.  You can purchase masonry kits that include anchors, screws, and the correct size masonry bit. For added support, use two masonry anchors to hang 1 item. A standard electric drill will work with a masonry bit, but it will be slow-going and there is the chance you will create a hole much larger than you want. Rent or borrow a hammer drill if you can. You can rent a hammer drill at your local hardware store, Lowe's, Home Depot, or a tool rental shop. Call ahead to make arrangements. Measure carefully and mark the spot for your anchor. Place the bit on the spot you’ve chosen. Make sure your grasp is firm and check to see that the bit, the drill shaft, and your arm are all parallel to the floor. As you drill, press firmly into the wall and maintain your position. Use a slower speed when drilling into cement walls for the best results. The fit should be snug but not so tight that you have to hammer hard. If you find that the hole is too small, re-drill using a slightly larger bit. Use a screwdriver or the screw bit on your drill to tighten it down. Stop before the screw is flush, so there is space to accommodate the wire or hanging hardware. Hang your object, adjust it until it is straight, and enjoy.

Article in English: These are companies that spout credibility, but do  not have records of actual trading on the market. They are most often scams. This may also be known as a "all or nothing" or "Fixed Return Option"  A binary option is different than a normal trade as its outcome relies on a yes/no outcome.  These can be unreliable and are easily manipulated to be fraudulent. Sometimes, these binary trades can be regulated by finance regulatory commissions, but are often risky. These investments are not for amateur traders. A great way to gather credible information about an investor is to read testimonials. You can often find these on third-party sites. You want to make sure the testimonials are not faked or were paid to be written. Check out government financial regulatory websites for testimonials. Always check and see where the investment originates. This can be the website you found about an investment or broker or about an investment opportunity you may have heard about. It always pays to be extra cautious, especially when it comes to your money! The Securities Exchange Act, passed in 1934, requires certain public trades and investments to be registered with the government. You can check the SEC website to see if a certain investment or company is registered under this act.
