Article in English: You can use any type of freeze dried fruit you'd like. Berries, such as raspberries and strawberries, will give you the best color, however. You can grin the fruit using a coffee grinder, or a mortar and pestle. Fill a saucepan with 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) of water, and place a heat-safe bowl on top. The bottom of the bowl should not be touching the surface of the water. Try to use a glass bowl, as those heat more evenly than metal. The beeswax is not necessary, but it will help give your lip balm a firmer texture and make it less gooey. If you do decide to use beeswax, try to get it in flake or pellet form. It will melt quicker and easier. If you can't get beeswax in flake or pellet form, shave it using a cheese grater. Stir them from time to time to ensure that they melt evenly. Both ingredients will turn somewhat clear when they melt. Use a pair of oven mitts to handle the bowl, as it will be very hot. Keep stirring until everything is evenly mixed together. There should be no streaks, lumps, or swirls. If you plan on using different types of fruit for different flavors, separate your melted mixture into smaller bowls first, then add the powdered fruit. Work quickly, as the lip balm will start to set fast. Once in the fridge, the lip balm will finish setting and harden.

Article in English: You can use just about anything, so long as it is small enough and has a tight fitting lid. The jar should be able to hold ½ to 1 teaspoon of fluid. You don't want the jar to be so large that the eyeshadow sits at the bottom in a small lump.  Contact cases make great eyeshadow containers. You can also use tiny jars meant for storing paint. You can get them at art supply stores. You can also buy makeup containers online and in beauty supply shops. This will give the excess rubbing alcohol enough time to float to the top. The rest of the rubbing alcohol will have bound the oil and eyeshadow together. Fold the tissue into a square and dip a corner into the mixture. Once it soaks up some of the alcohol, rotate the square and dip another corner. Keep doing this until all of the excess alcohol is gone. If needed, use a fresh tissue if your old one gets too dirty. It may look grainy once it is set, but it will go on smoothly. Once it is set, you can put the lid back on to the jar.

Article in English: You can use one piece of dowel and cut it in two, or you can use two separate pieces and cut them each to length. You can use a small hacksaw, or a box cutter will work, as well. Try to get the ends as smooth as possible.  Do this outside or over a trashcan to reduce the mess. This length will be determined by the size of kite you want to make. The dowels can be the same length or one can be shorter. For example, both could be 40 inches, or one could be 32” and the other 24”. It’s up to you the exact shape you want for your kite. Using the saw or knife, cut notches into the ends, in which a piece of kite string will sit. The notches don’t need to be very deep, just enough that the string will fit in. Make sure the notches on each end of each dowel are going the same direction. If you used two lengths, the longer one will be vertical and the shorter one will be horizontal. Place the horizontal dowel ⅓ of the way from the top of the vertical dowel. Make sure the vertical dowel’s notches are pointing sideways toward the horizontal dowel, and the horizontal dowel’s notches are pointing vertically toward the vertical dowel. You’ll need about 12 inches (30 cm) of kite string. Circle the string around each angle formed by the crossed dowels. As you tie the string, make sure the dowels stay at 90 degree angles. Knot the string around the cross section multiple times so the dowels are held tight. Starting at the bottom of the vertical dowel, wrap the kite string around five or six times. Make sure that when you finish wrapping, the string is near the end of the dowel again. The purpose of this is to anchor the string to the frame securely before you wrap it around the frame. Starting with the bottom where you wrapped the string already, stretch the string from one notch to the next, making sure it stays tight.  Finish by hooking the string through the bottom notch and tying it off. The purpose of wrapping string around the frame is to help it maintain its shape when you fly the kite. It also gives you a guide for...

Article in English: You can use ones that are already opened or those that are closed. Closed pinecones will open up when they dry during the baking process. Store bought pinecones are already clean and ready to use. This includes things like seeds, moss, and pine needles. You can do this with a pair of tweezers or a brush. Don't worry about being too precise, though; soaking the pinecones will help clean them further. Fill a sink, tub, or bucket with two parts water and one part white vinegar. The amount of water and vinegar you end up using depends on how many pinecones you're going to soak and the size of your container. If you prefer, you can use a solution of 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of water and 1 teaspoon of mild dish soap. You need the pinecones to remain submerged during this step. If they don't stay down, weigh them down with a wet, heavy towel, a pot lid, or even a dinner plate. The pinecones may close up during this step. Don't worry -- they'll open up again when they dry. Be sure to leave them in a well-ventilated area, as this will help increase airflow. If you don't have any newspaper on hand, use paper bags or an old towel instead.

Article in English: You can use the WHOIS search to find the host of the website. The host has the power to remove pages, especially if they violate the host's terms and policies. Chances are that most hosts don't allow slanderous or defamatory content, and you can use this to remove your information. Contact the host when the site owner isn't responding or is refusing to remove content. Send a polite but strong message to the host's contact address. If you can, describe the specific policies that the content you want removed is violating. If the host is trustworthy and your claim is legitimate, this will usually be enough to cause action. If someone is illegally posting your copyrighted content, you can submit a DCMA takedown request to the host. While this won't work for your name or information, since that isn't copyrightable, it can be effective at keeping your work from being spread illegally. Some hosting companies have contact links dedicated to copyright violations, while others will need to have messages sent to the standard contact addresses. See How to Write a DMCA Take Down Request for detailed instructions on how to word and send the request.

Article in English: You can use the information you have been tracking to make your life a little easier when you experience symptoms. If you know the days that you have cramps, the days that you are more irritable, or when your period is coming, you can adjust your life so that your cycle does not interfere.  For example, if you know that you become bloated three days before your period, you can make sure that you avoid caffeine, salt and alcohol and drink plenty of water during this time period.  If you know that you are irritable during a certain time of your cycle, focus on getting enough sleep and practice some relaxation techniques so your irritability does not get the best of you. Up to 14% of women have irregular menstrual cycles. If your period arrives early or late, if you have excessive bleeding or barely bleed, or experience severe pain, you may have an irregular period. An irregular period should be easy to identify if you have been tracking your cycle.  Your period may be irregular for many reasons such as the contraception you use, polycystic ovary syndrome, stress, thyroid disorders, eating disorders, uncontrolled diabetes, fibroids, or endometriosis.  There are many treatments available for irregular periods. Menstrual irregularities are common. If you notice any changes or have some questions, see your health care provider. Take all of the information that you have been tracking with you. This can help your health care provider figure out what is going on with your body. You should always see a professional if you experience any of the following:  You bleed for more than seven days. You are bleeding in between your periods. Your periods are less than 21 days apart or more than 35 days apart. Your periods went from being regular to being irregular. You soak through more than one tampon or pad every hour or two. Your periods become very heavy or painful.

Article in English: You can use the natural color of your pumpkin as the background for your design, or you can paint the entire pumpkin another color. Use an acrylic paint to paint the pumpkin. If you have other paint at home but aren't sure if it'll work on the pumpkin, test it out on a small part of the pumpkin to see if it sticks first.  Pick a color that complements your design. If you're drawing a goblin, pick an eerie green color for your background. Paint your pumpkin in sections, allowing each to dry before moving on to the next.  This way, you won't be stuck holding a pumpkin dripping with wet paint. Watch out for the wet paint on the bottom. Make sure you don't set the pumpkin down on its bottom when the bottom is wet, or it will stick. With a permanent marker and a stencil, or a pattern you have made yourself, lightly trace your design onto your pumpkin. Don't overthink it. You'll be painting over what you've traced, so it doesn't have to look perfect. If you're feeling uncertain, you can start drawing the design with a pencil first, and then go over it with the permanent marker.  To keep the pattern or stencil steady, it might help to tape it in place. To create straight lines, stripes, or shapes, tape pieces of masking tape to your pumpkin in the desired pattern. Optional: Use transfer paper (graphite paper) to trace your design. Transfer paper is a popular craft product used to transfer a design or pattern onto any surface. Here's how to use the transfer paper: Print out or draw your design on a piece of paper. Tape a piece of transfer paper to the pumpkin. Tape the paper with your design on top of the transfer paper. Use a pencil to trace the outlines of the design. When you're finished, remove the two layers of paper, and you'll find the outline of your design traced onto the pumpkin. Using acrylic paints, paint your design onto your pumpkin. You can use any tool you like to paint: paintbrushes, cotton swabs, sponges, or cotton balls. Keep a damp cloth at your side to quickly clean off any mistakes. Pretend that...

Article in English: You can use unripe green olives or ripe black olives for this process, but either way, it's important to use freshly harvested olives instead of the processed canned type. Oil made with ripe olives will offer more health benefits than that made with unripe olives, but the taste and smoking point shouldn't differ too much. Also note that unripe olives produce green-tinted oil and ripe olives produce gold-tinted oil. Place the olives in a colander and rinse them under cool, running water. Use your fingers to gently scrub away any dirt.  During this time, you should also sort through the olives and pick out any leaves, twigs, stones, or other debris mixed in with the fruit. These elements can ruin both the oil and the equipment used to produce it. After rinsing the olives, allow the excess water to drain and pat the olives dry using clean paper towels. The olives do not need to be perfectly dry since any water will eventually separate from the oil, but they should at least be mostly dry, especially if you don't plan to process them right away. Ideally, you should grind the olives into oil the same day you obtain them. You can probably wait up to two or three days, if necessary, but waiting for longer periods will decrease the flavor and quality of the oil you produce.  If you do need to wait before making the olive oil, transfer the olives into an open plastic or glass container and refrigerate them as needed. Pick through stored olives before use and discard any that appear rotted, shriveled, or unusually soft.

Article in English: You can use virtually any type of bread you desire. You can even use a bagel. Visit a fresh bakery and try a pretzel roll, pita bread, or even plain white bread. The options are endless! Try sharp cheddar or a spicy pepper jack. Grate your own cheese or layer on the slices. Mix different cheeses for a more interesting flavor. Try any cheese you like. Try adding some shaved Parmesan, manchego cheese, or soft goat cheese. Add a few minutes to the cooking time to get a rich golden brown. Letting the bread crisp up will create a crunchy panini that is gooey and soft on the inside. Try sliced tomatoes, cucumber, onions, or mushrooms. Add these ingredients raw or grill them first. You can even add a few basil leaves or some sliced bell pepper. Be careful when adding "wet" ingredients. They might make your sandwich soggy. If you are adding tomatoes, cucumbers, or anything with a high water content, scoop out the seeds first. That's right, fruit! Slice some apple or pear for a sweet and refreshing twist on a meat or vegetarian panini. Try adding grilled eggplant in place of meat for a delicious vegetarian panini. You can use any leftover meat you have. Shred chicken or steak or add some crispy bacon. Try adding chopped anchovies for an interesting flavor. Try roast beef, pastrami, or any meat you prefer. Make sure all the meat you add to your panini is fully cooked. Spread some pesto sauce inside your sandwich or try your favorite spicy mustard. You can even add some fig jam for an added sweetness. Try BBQ sauce or hot sauce too! You can't go wrong with a pinch of salt and pepper. But, you don't have to stop there either. Try a dash of garlic or onion salt. Try dusting a bit of garlic salt on the outside of your bread over the butter. Use seasonings sparingly, you can easily overpower your panini with too much salt or garlic. Use white bread or cinnamon raisin bread and coat the inside with hazelnut spread. Fill your sandwich up with sliced banana and marshmallows and drizzle some chocolate syrup on the inside. Cook...

Article in English: You can watch movies relating to Passover with your family or children. Not only can this entertain the whole family, but it can serve to remind everyone of the importance of the holiday. It can also open up a discussion the history of the Jewish people and the purpose of Passover.  One good option is the film The Prince of Egypt, which is appropriate and fun for children but also has music and acting excellent enough to entertain an adult. Another good movie to watch is The Ten Commandments starring Charlton Heston. This is a classic and will appeal to both the young and old. A good, more modern movie to watch, especially if your family prefers a little more drama, is The Devil's Arithmetic. In this film, a young Jewish girl (played by Kirsten Dunst) who is tired of celebrating Passover is magically transported back in time to a Nazi concentration camp. She learns the true meaning of struggle, the importance of remembering, and the value of family and heritage. You can sing Passover songs, either modern or traditional, on your own or with your family or friends. Many can easily be found on YouTube but here are three good ones:  A good traditional song for the whole family is Dayenu, which is upbeat and great for singing as a group. Shalom Sesame (A Jewish subset of Sesame Street) made an excellent Passover film that contains lots of great songs for young kids. For fun takes on modern songs, listen to The Ein Prat Fountainheads "Dayenu, Coming Home" or The Maccabeats "Les Misérables, A Passover Story". There are a number of crafts you can make with children which will get them involved with and excited about the holiday, as well as allowing them to feel necessary and helpful.  Make a matzo house. This can be done similarly to making a gingerbread house and makes a great centerpiece. Make it extra exciting for the kids by building the matzo house with chocolate and caramel. Just be sure any candy you use is kosher for Passover. Make a Passover seder plate. You can get your kids to make and decorate a plate and...

Article in English: You can write down a list of all of your credit points, but it will probably be easiest to find this using your transcript. Write down the total credit points from each semester or term. These are sometimes called quality points. Add the points from every semester or term up to determine your total credit points. For example, if you earned 55 credit points for your first term and 29 points for your second term, you would have a total of 84 credit (or quality) points. Write down how many credit hours you took for every term or semester. Add these numbers together to get your total credit hours. For example, if you earned 17 credit hours for your first term and 12 credit hours for your second term, you would have a total of 29 credit hours. Take your total credit points and divide this number by your total credit hours. This will average out your grade points for every semester and term you included. For example, take 84 (your total credit points) divided by 29 (total credit hours) to get a 2.89 cumulative GPA.

Article in English: You cannot easily obtain the phone records of any person--even your spouse--if their account is in no way linked to your name. If you do obtain the records without consent of the account holder, the records remain inadmissible as evidence in court. If a person is making harassing phone calls or you suspect someone who shares your cell phone plan of making inappropriate calls, you should have a record on your cell phone bill.  Frequently, the records you receive will be divided by the phone used to place or receive the calls. Less organized records will jumble them all together, but will still list the number of the sending and receiving phones. Again, the phone company should have complete records of all incoming calls and outgoing calls made to or from anyone on your cell phone plan. Whether you are trying to identify a stalker or keep an eye on your children and spouse, the phone company will have records that can help you.  You may have to first create an online account in order to access your records on the phone provider's website. After logging in, look for options such as anything labelled "Call Details" or "Call Records." Ask for a new copy of the records if they cannot be found any other way. They are mandated by law to keep the records, and should be able to provide them to anyone who can prove that they are the main account holder. Be prepared to provide personal information that will assist the customer service representative in identifying your account, including your account number, cell phone number, current home address, and possibly the last four digits of your social security number. The cell phone records of an estranged spouse can be obtained when you are in the middle of a court case by having them subpoenaed. This is the legal method of obtaining cell phone records that your lawyer can use in a court case.

Article in English: You cannot introduce a boar and sow unless you are sure they are both healthy. Take each animal to a vet to minimize the risk of either animal being unhealthy. If you regularly treat your guinea pigs for mites, this should be done at least 2 weeks before you breed them to prevent the Ivermectin having any effect on the pups. If you decide to mate your guinea pig with a guinea pig from another home, quarantine the new guinea pig for two weeks. This will help ensure that neither animal is ill or has parasites.  You can quarantine new guinea pigs simply by keeping their cages in separate rooms. Also make sure to wash your hands whenever you touch animals and their feed or bedding.  Do not allow the guinea pigs to interact during the quarantine.  If you are breeding guinea pigs you own, there is no need for quarantine. Once you are sure each guinea pig is healthy, you can introduce the pair. It may take a few days for the guinea pigs to get used to one another.  Keep the pair in the sow's normal cage to reduce stress to her and help increase the chance of pregnancy. If she is not ready to breed, she may reject the male by spraying him or showing her teeth.  Never allow more than one boar contact with the sow as this can lead to serious fights between the males.  If you own multiple sows that usually live together, remove the sows you are not breeding to a different cage to prevent unnecessary stress. Maintain the companionship between sows by allowing them 'floor time' together while keeping the breeding pair together the majority of the time. A sow’s heat cycle can last from 15 to 17 days. The breeding pair should be kept together the entire cycle to increase the chance of pregnancy.  The pair may try to mate throughout this period, but the sow can only get pregnant during a small 24 – 48 hour window per cycle.. Check the breeding couple often enough to help ensure their health and happiness and reassure the guinea pigs that you are caring for them.

Jobs today are highly competitive, so you need to focus on doing your best at everything you do, then look for opportunities to go above and beyond to make yourself stand out.

Keep in mind that you will not be promoted for simply meeting the expectations of your current job. You will need to show that you consistently go above and beyond those expectations.

Article in English: You could be waiting around for a long time for this relationship to end, if it ever does. Even then, you might have to watch her go through a string of relationships if she moves quickly from one relationship to the next.  Consider her current relationship. If she’s in a strong relationship, she is not likely to leave it, even if she likes you, too. Though it’s not romantic, scientifically there’s no such thing as “the one.” Do you want to spend your life waiting around for a girl who is interested in another person? There are plenty of other girls looking for someone like you. If you care enough to wait for her, disregard Method 2. Don’t manipulate her feelings. Be present in her life and let her know that you are someone she can trust. She may drift in and out of relationships, but she will keep you around. If you genuinely care about her, nurturing a friendship with her will come naturally. Make small gestures.  Remember her birthday and how she likes her coffee. If you notice she's having a rough day, ask her if she wants to talk about it. She will know you care for her well-being if you respect her relationship. Don’t try to break it up.  If she is happy in her relationship, she will not thank you for critiquing her boyfriend or finding ways to get their relationship on rocky ground. Even if she is unhappy in the relationship, if she realizes your motive she will see it as manipulative. If you truly care for for her, you will want her to be happy, even if it's not with you. Once she and her boyfriend break up, give her time to grieve that relationship and heal from the hurt. Don’t wait too long, though, or she may move on to another relationship before you get your chance.

Summary in Russian:

Решите для себя, стоит ли она того, чтобы ждать. Станьте хорошим другом для нее. Подождите, пока ее нынешние отношения не закончатся. Выражайте свои чувства к ней в подходящее время.


Article in English: You could meet this person in a bookstore or a coffee shop, online, or in the middle of the street. Never lose hope as to where you will find your one true love. It obviously didn't work out with you and the other person you once love(d), otherwise you wouldn't be here right now. If it didn't work out between you two, it wasn't meant to be. Everything happens for a reason in the great scheme of things. Know that better things are ahead for you, and be glad that your love story will be in the future and not in the past. Motivate yourself for the future and never give up on finding your true love, because he or she is out there somewhere. You're probably going to start looking for someone new, which means exposing yourself to different situations and people. Throughout it all, remember to learn from past relationship mistakes instead of making them all over again. That way, you hopefully only have to move on once and put that behind you. Fingers crossed!  For example, if you were in a manipulative relationship with someone, look for clues in the next possible relationship that it's turning manipulative. Stay away from people who make you feel bad for not getting what they want. Stay away from those can't ever admit having done something wrong. You may be attracted to the pitfalls of the other person, and actively look for those in a new mate. But that's only because that person didn't give you the benefit of a healthy, active, mutually-respecting relationship. Once you're in a healthy, active, mutually-respecting relationship, you'll begin to realize that all the things you thought you needed in a relationship were, in fact, things that kept you from achieving your fullest happiness. Be happy of the memories you shared with this person. There were probably good lessons learned. Don't wish it never happened — just wish to move on. Sometimes, moving on can be happy, too. You just have to see the good that this experience has shown you. Somewhere in your mind, you're going to think "I can make them love me. Maybe...

Summary in Russian:

Если вы готовы, попробуйте найти кого-то нового, чтобы влюбиться. При поиске новой любви, не забудьте учитывать ошибки прошлого. Поймите, что то, что это закончилось – к лучшему, ведь рано или поздно это должно было произойти. Отпустите ложные надежды.


Article in English: You do not need any special equipment to make caramel, but the saucepan or skillet you use should be completely clean. Make sure the pot is heavy, solid, and light-colored so you can monitor the caramelization process. If you plan on adding cream to your caramel, be sure the pot you choose can accommodate the caramel's expansion. Any impurities in your pot or on your cooking utensil (spoon, spatula) can cause an unwanted reaction called recrystallization. Recrystallization is a chemical process by which impurities and a compound (sugar) are dissolved in a solvent (water) and either the impurities or the compound can be coaxed out of the solution, leaving the other behind. For our purposes, this means the formation of awful sugar clumps. Heated sugar can splatter, and burn you very badly. Wear long-sleeves, an apron, and an oven mitt. If you have glasses, wear them. Keep a deep bowl of cold water nearby to plunge your hand in if caramel lands on it. Sprinkle the sugar in a thin layer at the bottom of your saucepan or skillet. Pour your water over the sugar slowly and evenly so all of the sugar is covered. Be sure there are no dry spots. Only use granulated sugar. Brown sugar and powdered sugars contain too many impurities and will not caramelize. Raw sugar is not recommended. Cook the sugar and water on medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Watch the mix closely and swirl the pot if you notice any sugar clumps forming. Most clumps will melt during cooking.  To prohibit recrystallization, you can keep the pot covered until the sugar is completely melted. Any sugar crystals hanging on to the sides of the pot will be forced to the bottom by the condensation created. Another trick to prevent recrystallization is to add a tiny amount (a drop or two) of lemon juice or cream of tartar to the sugar water mix right at the moment it begins to dissolve. These recrystallization "agents" prevents large crystal lumps from forming by coating the smaller crystals. Some people also use a pastry brush dipped in water to wipe...

Article in English: You do not need to include a parenthetical citation for a tweet in Chicago Style. You may, however, introduce the author's name and username before quoting the tweet itself.  When quoting a tweet, write the author's full name in the sentence followed by the @username in parentheses. If desired, you can also introduce the quote as a Twitter post and indicate the day the tweet was published. Example: In a Twitter post on July 18, 2013, John Doe (@JohnDoeExampleName) wrote, "Quoting a tweet is surprisingly simple." Example: In a Twitter post on July 18, 2013, RandomExampleUsername found quoting tweets to be "so simple, even a monkey could do it." Follow an in-text quote with a footnote if you are using a standard Chicago Style form of reference that includes footnotes instead of a Bibliography page.  Write the author's real name in FirstName LastName format, followed by a comma. Indicate that the quote is a “Twitter post.” Follow this with another comma. Write the date of the tweet's publication and the time of publication, separated by and followed with two more commas. Conclude with the user's Twitter URL. End with a period. Example: John Doe, Twitter post, July 18, 2013, 1:00 p.m., https://twitter.com/JohnDoeExampleName. Example: RandomExampleUsername, Twitter post, July 18, 2013, 1:00 p.m., https://twitter.com/RandomExampleUsername. If you are using a Bibliography page instead of a footnote system, include the same information in a bibliographic reference.  The information you include will be the same as the information used for a footnote, but the punctuation varies. Write the author's real name in LastName, FirstName format, followed by a period. Indicate that the quote is a “Twitter post.” Follow this with another period. Write the date of the tweet's publication and the time of publication, separated by a comma and followed by a period. Conclude with the user's Twitter URL. Do not end with a period. Example: Doe, John. Twitter post. July 18, 2013, 1:00 p.m. https://twitter.com/JohnDoeExampleName ...

Article in English: You don't have to avoid the big fashion house names, but a Tumblr girls' style is all about seeming eclectic and not accessible, not spending the most money.  Try to wear clothes and accessories that aren't in every girl's closet. Thrift-shopping can help you  find some amazing and unique things —and usually pretty cheap. Most Tumblr girls have a unique or retro touch to their look for this reason. Small boutiques can also offer designs that will set you apart from the usual mall styles. Tumblr girls are always on top of every trend in fashion. Keep an eye on what other popular profiles are wearing and try to add in some fresh elements into your own looks—without looking like a copycat. Once in a while, try something weird and daring. Something that other Tumblr girls haven't done. If you have enough followers, it might just catch on. Tumblr girls are each unique and fresh, but there are some that tend to be popular. Start with these to put yourself in the Tumblr girl crowd, and then branch out with your own unique touches. Some items in the Tumblr girl look include: Highwaisted shorts or pants     Oversized tank tops     Plaid shirts     Sleeveless button-downs Shirts with fringe Crop tops     Adidas, Toms, or Converse shoes     Thick rimmed glasses . Every girl is different, but Tumblr girls usually look like they are wearing very little makeup—nude lips, especially. This makes it like like they are normal, casual, relaxed people just having fun, and confident in themselves and how they look.  The exception is the eyes. Tumblr girls tend to have very prominent eyes, which means eyeliner and plenty of mascara—sometimes fake eyelashes, but not noticeably fake. Make sure that your eye makeup is prominent, but not super crazy, because then you will look like you have dead eyes. Don't be afraid to change it up. Once you develop a natural makeup look, you can make a photo pop with bright lipstick. There is no one hair style that all Tumblr girls have. They can be blonde, brunette or redhead. Their hair can be...

Article in English: You don't have to be incredibly physically fit to run a 5K, but you do have to make sure that the training won't pose a risk to your health. Though you can work yourself up to a 5K if you've never run before, you need to make sure that your heart and body are physically strong enough to handle the race training.  If you have a history of heart trouble, back pain, or any issues with your feet or the rest of your body, check with a doctor to see if you can run the race. Even if you feel healthy, it's never a bad idea to check in with a doctor about the race just in case. This requires two things: for you to make sure you have enough weeks between your first training day and the race, and to see that you'll actually have enough time in your schedule to train for the race.  If you can run at least one mile without stopping, then you can start training 8 weeks before the 5K. If you can't run to the end of your block without getting tired, it will take longer for you to train for a race. Give yourself at least 12 weeks to build up the stamina to run a 5K. Check your schedule to make sure you have time to train. While training for a 5K can require just 20-30 minutes of your time 5 days a week, it may be harder than you think to factor this time into your busy schedule. Select a time slot for your training, leaving room for two days of rest. It's ideal if you can train for the race around the same time each day so your body gets settled into a routine. It's even more ideal if you can train around the time of the actual race you choose, but that may be challenging if the race is in the morning, as most are. Search for races in your area and pick one that appeals to you that is far enough away for you to have enough time to train. Don't pick a race that is too far off in the future unless you want to hold off on your training for a while.   Register for the race as early as you can. Once you've registered, you have made a commitment to finish the race! The longer you put off actually registering for the race you've...

Article in English: You don't have to jump right into romantic mode. Test her reaction to compliments and "I like you" kind of behavior. If she smiles, blushes, gets lightly embarrassed, or responds with similar words, she's probably picking up what you're putting down.  Listen to her: "Hey, tell me about your day today?" Get her gifts and things she likes: "I got you a little gift that reminded me of you." Go out of your way to see her, even for short periods" "I've got to run to your part of town later tonight -- want to grab a quick cup of coffee with me on my way?" When you tell her how you feel, don't do it when there are a bunch of other people around. This can make her feel uncomfortable and trapped, leading to an answer that she doesn't really mean. Take her somewhere nice and quiet and make sure she feels relaxed before telling her how you feel.  "Hey, Maria, I wanted to ask you something in private. You have a moment?" "Maria, let's go for a walk, I have something I wanted to get off my chest." "Hey, Maria,  can I grab you for a second?" Let her know you enjoy her company, and that you've had a lot of fun together. Keep this quick so that you get to the point faster.  "You know you're incredibly amazing to talk to, right?" "I'm really happy we got to know each other this year." "You know I can tell you anything. You've been an incredible friend." This is the hard part, but if you take a deep breath, count to three, and let it out, you'll feel much better. As long as it comes from the heart, you should be proud of your courage.  "I like you." "I just wanted you to know that I like you." "Maria, I can't keep pretending that I don't have feelings for you. You're too amazing not to have feelings for." "I love having you as my friend. But I'd like to make us more than friends." She may be completely taken aback by your feelings, and need time to process her own. Give her that time.  "You don't have to feel the same way as I do, but I really need to tell you that I like you a lot." "I don't want you to feel weird or...

Article in English: You don't have to look like an exotic dancer to give a lap dance. Just put on an outfit that emphasizes your best features while also letting you move around comfortably. You can wear sporty leggings and a sports top over sexy lingerie, a long dress, or anything that makes you feel sexy. If you decided to combine your lap dance with a strip tease, lingerie and mini-dresses are good for this purpose. If you wear a garter belt, underwear should be layered on top. High heels make legs look sexy. Pick some music that is sexy enough to set the mood, but upbeat enough for you to dance to. Practice dancing to it in advance to make sure that it's good for lap dancing, not love making. A typical lap dance shouldn't last more than a minute or two -- if you're doing it right, then your partner will want to have you before the first song is over. Still, it's better to be prepared with a few songs just so you don't run out of tunes in the middle of your dance. Here are some sexy songs that are perfect for a lap dance:  "So Alive" by Love And Rockets "Skin Trade" by Duran Duran "Cream" by Prince "Cradle of Love" by Billy Idol "Not Enough Time" by INXS "Say it Right" by Nelly Furtado "Let Me Put My Love Into You" by AC/DC "Love Me Like You Do" by Ellie Goulding "wRoNg" by Zayn "Work" by Rihanna Lap dances are sexier if you're not doing them under garish lights. Turn down the lights in your home, throw a scarf or cloth over your brighter lamps, or even light some candles. The lights should be bright enough so that your partner can see you working your body, but not so bright that they can see every little freckle on your face. If you want to give a good lap dance, then the chair should be just as important as the one sitting in it. Pick a chair with thick, sturdy legs and a high and reliable back. The chair should also comfortably hold the weight of you and your partner. If you pick a chair that's too flimsy and end up falling over or even breaking it, it'll be hard to recover. Tell your partner to sit down in the chair....

Article in English: You don't have to peel these potatoes to make potato salad -- the skins will add a rich flavor to the salad. Once they're done boiling, remove the potatoes from the hot water, drain them, and wait for them to cool. Mix 4 tablespoon (59.1 ml). mayonnaise, 2 tbsp. sour cream, 2 tsp. wholegrain mustard, and 2 tsp. honey together in a small bowl.

Toss these ingredients to combine them.  Toss to combine the ingredients. Mix the ingredients together until they're evenly coated in the right dressing. Keep mixing until the salad is nice and creamy. This will allow the ingredients to blend. You can serve this delicious salad with some barbecued chicken, crusty bread, or a large glass of your favorite iced tea or white wine. If there's any salad left over, refrigerate it to store it as soon as you can.

Article in English: You don't have to use money or material goods--that may spoil their love of learning.  Of course, snacks, drinks and offering things they like to do are always good ideas. Save the big rewards for school tests. Once they can perform under pressure, you know you've been successful. Don't forget to pause and have fun between serious repetitions of the facts. If you're happy with their success, they'll be more likely to want to be successful. Show them how awesome they're doing with verbal recognition. If they're going slower than you think they should, relax. Negativity may make them shut down. A bad mood can kill any learning ability. Encourage them to press on. No child can learn for hours on end. When you sense that they're wearing down, take a break. You probably need one, too. After a break, quickly review what they've already learned before moving onto new facts.

Article in English: You don't necessarily have to be her best friend, but show her why she deserves to trust you. Be there when she needs you. If she asks you to keep a secret, keep it. If you say you'll do something, follow through. Trust is crucial to developing intimate, long-lasting relationships, and it can be broken in a heartbeat.  Don't get into it just for sex. This will make you an untrustworthy guy in her book. Don't pressure her into doing things that she's not comfortable doing — it'll drive her further away. If you have to back out on something, give her an honest explanation. She’s less likely to feel let down if you tell her what happened and communicate that you’re really disappointed about having to miss out. And don’t make a habit of flaking. People don’t all express or interpret love in the same way. Some people love getting gifts. Others would be just as happy if you did the dishes every night. Psychologist Gary Chapman argues that people have “love languages” that they use to show love and understand demonstrations of love from other people. Knowing her love language will help you show you care in a way she can really connect with.  The five love languages are “Words of Affirmation,” “Acts of Service,” “Receiving Gifts,” “Quality Time,” and “Physical Touch.”  “Words of Affirmation” include compliments, encouragement, or expressions of your feelings. “Acts of Service” include things like doing chores or running errands for the other person to show you care. “Receiving Gifts” is pretty obvious: gifts, cards, and tangible expression of affection. “Quality Time” is uninterrupted time with your partner without distractions. “Physical Touch” includes any demonstration of physical affection, including hugging, kissing, or sex.   Chapman’s website has a quiz you can take. You can also ask her friends and observe her reactions to determine what her primary love language could be. (Alternatively, you could just ask her to take the quiz too, but you might not feel ready to spring the word “love.”)  Look at how she...

Article in English: You don't necessarily have to break the rules to be a rebel. All you have to do is act in a way that stands out from what's common.  For example, if you play sports and have a letterman jacket, stand out from your athletic peers by removing the sleeves of your letterman and wearing it like a vest. If you are required to call teachers proper names like "Mr. Moser" or "Mrs. LaGuerta," put a playful spin on it by calling them "Mr. Most-definitely" or "Mrs. L." If your school requires you to wear a uniform, like a pair of trousers and a smart collared shirt, throw some personality into your wardrobe by leaving your shirt untucked.  Or, you could tuck your shirt into trousers with holes at the knees. If your peers tend to walk slowly while looking down at their phones, grab some attention by skipping through the hallways on campus. Strut proudly, sing a song while skipping, swing your arms like a gorilla.  People tend to remember things that are unusual or difficult to understand. Speaking your mind doesn't mean just blurting out whatever you are thinking at a given moment. It means advocating for your opinions and beliefs, especially on issues you feel strongly about.  You may feel that your cafeteria is severely lacking in yummy foods like burgers and tacos. Tell the school administration that they should include more foods that teenagers enjoy. If you can't rally up people to present your case, do it by yourself. Having numbers may be a powerful way of showing people that you mean business, but it isn't the only way. As long as you provide solid evidence for your beliefs, you should be fine (for example, good tasting foods help learning because they increase serotonin levels, and high serotonin is essential for memory). If your school is hosting a poetry slam, write some spoken word about how the cafeteria food sucks. Paint a picture of foods that you want to eat at school, and hang it on people's lockers. Sing a song during lunch break about people's choice of what to put in their bodies. Art is a great way of...

Article in English: You don't need an encyclopedia on the family, but you should know if there are any topics to avoid around the dinner table. Be inquisitive -- what do her parents do? what hobbies do they enjoy? are there any special circumstances to be aware of? Showing you care enough to ask questions will make everyone's experience much smoother.  Does she know any common ground you might have with her family or places where you might naturally find conversation? Is there anything you can bring as a small "thank you" gift? While a bottle of wine is the classic choice, it won't go over well if they don't drink or you're a minor. Even if they refuse, it is the thought that counts. To be a truly considerate guest, just start helping clear the table once dinner is over, taking the initiative and showing your respect. While you aren't there to become a temporary handyman, just asking if you can lend a hand will go a long way. It will look a little strange if you're suddenly distant with your girl. While you don't want to be lewd, holding her hand occasionally or putting an arm around her is a simple, sweet way to show your affection. Check in with her if you think her family would frown on any physical contact. If you're in doubt, let her initiate anything and just follow her lead. You're going to be nervous or stressed, and that is okay. But don't convince yourself that you need to shape your behavior to become a "perfect" partner -- they don't exist. Mind your manners, introduce yourself with a smile and firm handshake, and then be yourself. Imagine you're meeting a professor or teacher for the first time, or a new business contact, instead of your potential in-laws. Tell stories about yourself, be honest about your goals and hopes, and don't be afraid to crack a low-key joke or two if it feels right. Stop second-guessing every action and just be yourself. If a new food is put in front of you, try it with a smile. When the family has a moment of prayer, bow your head respectfully, even if you don't share their faith. Your...

Обсудите важные моменты до вашего прихода. Предлагайте помощь в незначительных делах. Не переходите границы допустимого физического контакта. Оставайтесь собой и не пытайтесь быть «идеальным» партнером. Непредвзято относитесь к культуре и атмосфере семьи девушки.


Article in English: You don't need an excuse to tell anyone that he or she is beautiful. Sometimes there really isn't a "reason" to tell someone they're beautiful; but you do it anyway. Maybe the light's hitting them just right; maybe they're wearing a stunning gown; or maybe you want to kiss them. If you feel an overwhelming urge to tell someone that he or she is beautiful: just do it. You can certainly say "You're beautiful," at any time, but the statement might come across as more meaningful if you have the person's full attention. Say it during an intimate moment, when you're one-on-one. Try not to put him or her on the spot.  If you're telling a friend, lover, or significant other that he/she is beautiful, try saying it in a quiet moment when you're speaking one-on-one or looking into each other's eyes. Let the words come out naturally. Consider writing a note. This can be a great way to create an intimate moment if you're shy, or if you can't be present for some other reason. Say it as a greeting. Try greeting a date by telling him or her, "You look absolutely beautiful tonight!" Avoid saying it if the date is dressed casually. Save it for when they have clearly put some effort into their appearance. Your words don't need to imply anything more than what they mean at face value. There are many reasons to let someone know they're beautiful, and not all of these reasons are romantic. Try not to think too much about it. If you think that someone is beautiful, then it's usually a good idea to let them know. When you say it and how you say it are not nearly as important as 'what' you say. Inundating a simple acquaintance with over-enthusiastic or overly detailed praise can often trigger a cautionary or even a repulsed response. Avoid accenting detailed physical characteristics (like fitness, or the sizes of certain body portions) until you and the subject know each other very well. Further, refrain from discussing such things in the company of others. When in doubt, comment on the most superficial of aspects first and wait...

Article in English: You don't need to dye your hair but if you want to, go to the hairdresser or get someone else to dye it for you. Or, get a wig. If you hair is curly, just straighten it. If your hair is wavy it is still OK. In the books, Ginny has wavy hair. Some hairstyles you'll find her in are straight ponytails, down with some strands pinned back to the side with a bobby pin or a simple barrette, or just straight down with a wide headband. On one occasion, however, (Slughorn's Christmas party) she was seen with slightly wavy hair.

Article in English: You don't need to file your nails, but the process may help you shape your nails exactly as you want them. Cutting your nails can leave jagged edges – but it is easy to file them uniform. Use a nail file, a pumice stone, or any other hard, textured surface. Jagged nails can catch on clothes, socks, and pantyhose. If your nails catch on something, they may tear or break. Wait for a while until your nails are dry and are no longer soft. Filing wet nails will leave you with jagged, rough nails when they dry, and may also cause your nails to split and crack. As you cut or file, periodically check your nails to ensure that they're all the same length and shape. Make sure that they're smooth – jagged or pointy nails may prove painful and inconvenient in everyday life. Keep clipping and filing until your nails are even.

Article in English: You don't need to flip through fashion magazines to become inspired. You can find styles everywhere you look. Re-watch your favorite movie and notice what types of clothes they're wearing. There must be someone in your life whose style inspires you. Reach out to that person for advice. Set some parameters to help guide your style. Don't be afraid to aim for a blend a few styles, for example punk and valley girl. After setting some guidelines for yourself, think of some clothes you could use to help this idea. Start small and consider easy items to find like a jean jacket or a pair of Uggs. Go window shopping. This will give you an idea of what's in style right now, and will give you a chance to see what items you like and dislike. Style doesn't have a rule book. You know yourself and your body. Style comes from within; it comes from your personality and aspirations. It's okay to like a clothing trend, just be sure to think twice before you hop on. Take aspects from trends, but ultimately hold your own personality. In a plain notebook, paste pictures of styles that you like and jot down notes about outfits you see. When you have a fashion dilemma or need to go shopping, flip through the book and find the outfits you like. Go through your clothes and make three different piles: keep, maybe, and give-away.  Have a creative eye and think how you could adapt your current clothes into the style you're imagining. Offer your old clothes to friends, or try to sell them at a secondhand clothing store. You don't need to exclusively shop by brand. The most important rule of having style is to not be defined by labels. You don't need to wear Gucci or American Eagle to be a stylish person. It's not what you wear, but how you wear it. Use the current trends to guide your fashion not dictate it. Wear what you want. Think about what it is you want people to gain from your style. What does your outfit say to a stranger on the corner? Keep these in mind as you map out some ideas about your style.

Article in English: You don't want floating dust or any other debris inside what should be a pristine container. You will need to customize the flower size to fit inside the container.  Size flowers as you do each container (so don't size all of them at once).  Bend stems and twist flowers so they can be placed inside the container.  This is simply to see how short or how the flowers will look inside the vase.  You should also get an idea of how many flowers you'll need inside each container as well.     Snip the stems once you are satisfied with the length and number of flowers inside the container. Also, consider whether you need to trim leaves, etc.    You will top off each container once it's positioned on the table. The flower arrangement may look different than what you were trying to create inside the dry container so be open to cutting more down or removing/adding flowers.  You may want to touch up your flower arrangement after the flowers have traveled from one area of the room to the table. Don't overfill in the event a guest knocks into the table and the water spills.

Article in English: You don't want to be too controlling, but at the same time, you still want to keep your daughter safe. Invest some money in buying her a cellphone for her, or ask her to help you out in saving. If she has one, she can have it on her at all times for when you need to get a hold of her. Talk to her about emergency scenarios. For example, say something like, "If you can't get a sober driver to take you home from a party, I'll pick you up. I don't care if it's four in the morning -- I'd rather drive you than have you get in the car with a drunk driver."  Sure, your daughter will groan a little if you're obsessed with her being safe, but it's much better than not caring and having her get into a dangerous situation. With teenagers spending more time online than ever, it's important to encourage cyber safety. Talk to your daughter about not talking to anyone online whom she doesn't know, and about definitely not meeting up with anyone she meets online unless she has good reason to trust this person. She's going to come to the age where she has a boyfriend. You have to be accepting, no matter what you think. The strictness and fairness rules apply here, too. You need to be there for her during the relationship. Though you don't want to pry or ask too many questions, you should be involved and know what she's doing and where she's going.  Though it may kill you to see your daughter dating someone who may potentially mistreat or take advantage of her, you have to help her be a good judge of character herself instead of telling her if you think her boyfriend is a no good loser. If you try to discourage your daughter from dating a certain person, she'll only want to be with him even more. Face it: it's just not realistic to keep your daughter from dating someone she likes. This isn't the Stone Ages, and the fact of the matter is, there's only so much you can do to stop your daughter from dating. You can't keep her locked in her room like a princess trapped in a tower. One day, she'll go off to college or will just move...

Summary in Russian:

Безопасность превыше всего. Позволяйте ей встречаться с парнями. Поговорите о сексе. Будьте готовы к ее первой менструации. Научитесь справляться с перепадами настроения. Поговорите о наркотиках, курении и алкоголе.


Article in English: You don't want to interfere with any pixels while they're still firing, and turning off the TV will enable you to see dirt, dust, and grime better since you're working with a dark surface. These soft, dry cloths are the same type of cloth you would use to clean eyeglasses. They're perfect for LCD screens because they don't leave lint. Use the microfiber cloth to gently wipe off any dirt or grime that's visible.  Don't press hard on the screen if the dirt or grime does not immediately come off. Simply move on to the next method below.  Do not use paper towels, toilet paper, or old shirts as your cleaning cloth. These materials are more abrasive than microfiber cloth and may scratch the screen and leave lint residue. If it now looks clean, there may not be a need to wash it. If you see splatters of dried liquid, built up dust or other gunk, move on to the method below to give your flat screen some extra shine. The hard plastic frame is less sensitive than the screen itself. Use the microfiber cloth or a duster to wipe it off.

Article in English: You don't want your fabric to rub against your skin uncomfortably or trap sweat close to your body. Synthetic fabrics and baggy clothing work best. Heat rash is commonly caused by exercise, when you have a higher body temperature and create lots of sweat. If you feel a rash developing, take a break and cool off. Cooling off, changing out of damp, sweaty clothes, or jumping into a cool pool from time to time can help your body effectively regulate temperature, preventing heat rash before it occurs. Most heat rashes occur in infants, when well-meaning parents over-dress their child during hot weather. Babies should wear loose, breathable clothing in the heat as well. Just because a baby's feet or hands feel cool to the touch does not mean they are cold. Heat rashes can appear overnight when you are trapped in damp, hot sheets for extended periods of time. Use fans, open windows, or turn on the AC if you wake up sweaty and uncomfortable.

Summary in Russian:

В жаркую погоду носите свободную, дышащую одежду. Постарайтесь не заниматься активной физической деятельностью в жаркую и влажную погоду. В жаркую погоду делайте регулярные 20-ти минутные перерывы. Одевайте младенцев как взрослых. Спите в прохладных, хорошо проветриваемых помещениях.


Article in English: You don't want your mousepad to slide around on your desk while you are trying to use it.  You can use shelf and drawer non-slip liner for the bottom of your mousepad. Just cut it to the size of the base of your mousepad. You can find this type of liner in stores like Target, Walmart, Lowes, or Home Depot. If you don't buy the adhesive kind of liner, use glue to attach it. Alternatively, you can use a piece of a rug liner in the same way. If you want a simple, household nonstick alternative, you can use a piece of double-sided tape on each corner of your pad. Add your tape when you are completely finished constructing your pad. Simply use it to stick the pad to your desk. You can also use adhesive pads or putty meant for hanging posters.     This should be the same size as your cardboard and will give your mouse a good surface to move on.  You want to place your foam directly on top of your cardboard surface so that all the sides line up. After you cut the foam, remove the paper protecting the adhesive and apply it to the top of your cardboard. If the foam you find doesn't have adhesive, you'll want to glue the foam in place. You should be able to find this type of foam at any hobby or craft store. If you don't want to use foam, you can just leave the cardboard plain, as it will still function as a mousepad. Alternatively, you can use something like a piece of cork as this layer of your mousepad. If you have an old bulletin board, simply cut out a piece the size of your pad.

Убедитесь в том, что получившаяся основа коврика не скользит. Вырежьте кусок самоклеящейся вспененной подложки.


Article in English: You don’t have to prepare an entire script but it at least gives you a few jumping off points. It will also allow you to organize your thoughts so you can get a sense of how the conversation might go. You can start with saying things similar to, “Dad, I need to tell you something that I’ve been stressed about.” “Mom, do you mind if I talk to you about something?” “Mom, dad, I’ve made a huge mistake and need your help.” IF you don’t already have a relationship with your parents where you talk everyday, begin one by talking about little things. If you make it a habit to talk to your parents about anything, it will be easier for them to hear you out. It also builds your relationship stronger. It’s never too late to talk to your parents. Even if you haven’t talked to them in over a year, start with a simple hello. Say something similar to, “I just wanted to let you know what I’ve been up to and chat for a little bit. We haven’t spoken in a while and I’d like to let you know what’s going on in my life.” Your parents will appreciate the gesture and may find it easier to keep the dialogue open. If you think a topic is too sensitive or you know that your parents will react harshly, ease into the conversation over a period of time. Ask probing questions to get a sense of their response or to hint at what you want to talk about. For example, if you need to talk to your parents about being sexually active, say something like, “Mom, Lisa has been dating her boyfriend for a year now, it seems really serious. Do you think things can be serious in the 11th grade?” By using your friend to give context to a situation, you can gain a lot of insight into how your parents may react to you. You can pick their brain but be careful not to be too obvious as they may be able to figure out your line of questioning and ask you about your situation. It’s impossible to plot out the course of a conversation if you don’t know the destination. Ask yourself what you want the dialogue to accomplish so you know what tools you can use.

Summary in Russian:

Запишите свои мысли. Учитесь разговаривать с родителями каждый день. Разведайте обстановку. Определите желаемый результат.


Article in English: You don’t want to just plain out accuse your friend of being a copycat. The first thing you need to do is think about her actions, your relationship, and the situation in order to properly identify if your friend is really a copycat. Consider the following:  Does your friend dress the same way as you? Has your friend incorporated mannerisms like your own? Does your friend talk like you? Has your friend ever stolen your ideas and tried to pass them off as their own? Does your friend like to date the same people as you, or has she tried to steal crushes or romantic interests? Perhaps your friend is not simply copying you, but you are also copying your friend. Often times friends sort of feed off of and influence each other. It might be that you have a reciprocal influence where you are both copying each other to an extent. If this is the case, you might be able to stop mimicking your friend and embrace your own style. She might do the same. Find someone you can confide in, maybe a relative, or a very close friend of your own. Avoid involving a friend you both share—this will just put that person in an undesirable situation.  Ask the person to evaluate the situation to see if she agrees that your friend is a copycat. Your confidant might agree with you, or she might disagree with you. This will give you more perspective before you take any further steps to deal with the copycat. It might be that while you think you’re very cutting edge and hip, that you are following current trends (you might not be trendy, just avant-garde). Your friend could also be taking the same cues from TV, radio, and other forms of media, and trying to stay cool. It could also be that your friend is taking cues about “coolness” and popular culture from you – you are her barometer for what is currently cool. You could choose to approach your copycat’s actions as a compliment. After all, you are the best judge of how harmful her actions are.  If you think she is just complimenting you, then it might be ok. Consider if her imitation is...

Summary in Russian:

Article in English: You eliminate the naturally produced oils when you rub shampoo through your hair. These oils protect your hair shafts and moisturize your scalp.  When you send processed chemicals through your hair, you break it down and prevent it from growing out in a healthy fashion. Think of it like obsessively washing your hands. The more you wash, the drier and more cracked they become. You don't need to stop washing your hair entirely. Start by washing every other day. Once you get used to this, you can wash every three days. This schedule is recommended in solidifying good hair health. When you wash your hair, make sure that you aren't damaging it. Overuse of shampoo can crack your hair and make your split ends worse.  Shampoo your scalp only, being careful not to scrub the ends of your hair. The soap will slide down your ends when you rinse, cleaning them without excessive force. Harshly scrubbing the ends themselves will deteriorate your hair. Some people think that you have to change your shampoo often. According to experts, it's better to stick with a product that works for you. If you have oily hair or use product, you might want to break up your routine with a clarifying shampoo. Stronger shampoos wash away extra residue left behind from oil or overuse of products. While shampooing too often will damage your hair, most conditioners replenish lost lipids and proteins. Whenever your hair is wet, you'll want to condition it.  Any dye or heat application strips your hair of these essential lipids and proteins. The strands toward the base of your hair grow weaker over time. You want to bolster them again. You'll also seal the cuticle at the end of hair. This prevents future damage from occurring. If you can fight these issues, your hair will stay healthy and strong for a longer period of time. Studies show that any irritation or inflammation to the scalp can greatly damage the health of your hair. Some people don't notice their hair damage until it begins to fall out. You want to avoid this fate by taking care of...

Article in English: You have nearly unlimited options for how to decorate it. Use spray paint to paint the whole house one color. Use a small paintbrush to paint the walls one color and the roof another color. Attach fabric or gift wrap to give the walls of the house a pattern. You could glue moss, flowers, or sticks to the house to give it a woodsy look.

Украсьте домик.


Article in English: You have someone who will make your home a heaven! This is not to be taken as personal rejection or any aspersions being cast on you. This is about letting the introvert recharge. If you're concerned, have a discussion and suggest that the introvert-in-the-house at least signal that he or she needs downtime and is going off to be alone. That way, everyone else knows what is happening and won't disturb the introvert or take it personally. The introvert needs somewhere personal, quiet and undisturbed to retreat to within the home space. If this is not offered, the introvert can become stressed and tense, a feeling that can impact everyone in the household. If you are living in an environment where space is a problem, consider making a schedule to get all of the extroverts out of the house once a day, to allow the introvert to have complete peace. If you're an extrovert and your partner is an introvert, share out the chores to the person who is best at doing them. For example, your introvert partner may be the best for checking the tax details and choosing the house decorating colors, while you might be best at planning parties and receiving the house guests warmly or cold calling the plumbers to get quotes for renovating your dilapidated bathroom. Talk openly about what the introvert finds difficult to do and reach compromises about who does what. Also take care to avoid creating your own bubble and failing to make friends or keep in touch with friends. While you have each other, broader perspective is absolutely essential to feeding your voracious need to process life's deeper meanings.  If you both are too alike, there is a risk of being overly dependent on one another. Be alert to this potential and be sure to widen your social circle and spend time doing some things apart. While it is a source of comfort to be so similar, do not make it into a crutch. Enjoy the fact that both of you are of one mind while making an effort to keep challenging one another to live life as fully as possible.

Summary in Russian:

Радуйтесь тому, что живете с интровертом. Знайте, в какие моменты интроверту нужно отдохнуть. Давайте интроверту возможность уединяться. Позвольте друг другу делать то, что у каждого получается лучше всего. Если вы оба интроверты, знайте, что некоторые проблемы никто из вас не захочет решать.


Article in English: You have to change the settings on Word before you can create your booklet. You can turn a document you've already written into a booklet, but it is best to create the booklet layout first and then put the content in. Find the Page layout tab. It should be located in the icon in the corner of Page Setup. This is in Page Setup under Margins. You'll go to the drop down tab, which will be on Normal and you'll change it to Book fold. While you don't have to do this, it's a good idea to change the Gutter setting from 0 to 1 so that words don't end up jumbled into the binding. You can get an idea of what the booklet is going to look like formatting-wise. From there you simply have to add the content (or make sure that content looks how you want it to look if you already had content). You can change anything that doesn't look right and you can add anything that your booklet needs (like page numbers). You will need to print on both sides of the paper, otherwise your booklet is going to end up with a lot of blank pages, which you don't necessarily want. You can have your printer do this automatically, or manually (which means you'll need to stand there and feed paper to the printer). If you are manually feeding the paper to the printer make sure that you orient the pages properly. You do not want to end up with upside down pages in your booklet. Make sure that you put together the booklet with the corresponding pages. This is why it's a good thing to have page numbers. When you fold, it's a good idea to start by folding each page individually and then putting them together. You can staple along the fold once you've folded the pages. The above method is the most basic way of creating a booklet in Word, but you can find lots of cool design templates on the internet or through Word if you want something a little more creative or enticing.

Article in English: You may access their number through “Contacts” or “Favorites”. Alternatively, you may use the keypad to enter their phone number. Let your friend know you are setting up a conference call. This will provided you with access to your contacts, favorites, and the keypad. This icon may appear one of two ways: a person with a “+” OR a large “+” with the words “Add call”. Select another friend from your list of contacts or favorites. Alternatively, you may enter the number on the keypad. Once the second call goes through, your first call is placed on hold. Let them know you are setting up a conference call. Your first and second calls will combine into one conference call.  This feature is not available on all Android models. Other callers may leave the conference call at any time. Since they did not originate the conference call, their exit will not disconnect the entire conversation.

Нажмите «Удерживать», чтобы поставить на удержание или отключить собеседника. Нажмите «Завершить», чтобы завершить телефонную конференцию.


Article in English: You may also choose to write down other keywords that apply to the position or industry. Large companies use keyword crawlers to sort through hundreds of thousands of resumes, so make sure you include a few buzzwords that directly apply to the job.  However, you should never cut and paste directly from the job description. Always bring up the concepts in your own words. Describe yourself and the job.  For example, “Top-performing Sales Manager seeks General Manager position.”   If you don’t feel comfortable describing yourself, reference the position name. You will lead directly with a salutation. Take the time to research the person in the job positing, company website or on LinkedIn.  Use Mr. or Mrs. only if you are sure of the gender and marital status. When in doubt, just include the full name of the person. If you are unable to find the person’s name, address the department or “Dear Hiring Manager.” Just like with the formal cover letter, if you cannot make a connection, tell a story about why the company has caught your eye. Follow with your accomplishments. Include only your impressive figures that directly apply to the cover letter narrative and the job. Include “Sincerely” and then your full name. Make sure your contact information is included in the signature. To avoid problems with hitting the Send button early, finish, proof and fill out the subject line of your email before typing the hiring manager’s email address in the “To” line. Choose Gmail over Hotmail or Yahoo; however, an email from your personal website or Outlook will be better.

Article in English: You may assume that your parents already know you love them. Even if this is true, it’s nice to hear those three little words. Tell your parents you love them whenever you can. You may be amazed at how happy it will make them. Take you time to say it and be sure to make contact. There's a big different between an "I love you, Mom," and a "Love ya!" Although telling someone how much you mean to them in person is great, there’s something about putting a pen to paper. Write your parents a letter thanking them for all that they have done for you. Having it on paper allows them to look at it whenever they want to remember your thoughtful words. It may also be easier for you to express yourself in this way, rather than saying it to them face-to-face.  You could also write a poem or short story to express your gratitude and love. They will likely appreciate the time and effort you put into creating this gift for them.  Another option is to send a nice e-card with a personal message if you are not the creative type. Touch is the most basic form of communication among humans. As a baby, your parents comforted you when you cried. As a growing child, they may have nursed your bo-bos or caressed you after a nightmare. Unfortunately, touch as a form of affection is often lost as children grow older. Offer your parents a hug to show your love. The act of hugging releases a bonding hormone that reduces stress and helps fight off physical illness. Hugging your parents more often could actually benefit their health. No matter what their age or their children’s ages, parents usually love homemade gifts. They understand that it takes more time and consideration into making a present than it does to purchase one. Even if the present is less than perfect, they will still appreciate the gesture. You could paint your parents a picture, make them a card, take a portrait of them and put it in a frame, or even create a sculpture. Or, you can just dedicate an entire day to spend with them one-on-one. Your phone calls don’t have to be...

Article in English: You may encounter a dangerous situation when walking a blind person. There may be a speeding car, for example, or a loose dog. In such situations, remember the blind person cannot see the threat. Do not simply move him or her out of the way. Use your words to say something like, "Stop!" or "Move!" After you've gotten the blind person out of harm's way, explain the threat. When guiding a blind person, you may have to help him or her through doors. In such a situation, make sure to take special precautions to make sure everything goes smoothly.  Make sure the blind person is on the hinged side of the door. If you need to change sides, do so following the instructions listed above. Explain which way the door opens as you near the door. Open the door and proceed to walk through with the blind person you are guiding. Have the blind person close the door behind him or her when you finish passing through. Steps and staircases can be somewhat difficult to navigate. It's important you take safety precautions to avoid accident or injury.  First, verbally inform the blind person when stairs are coming up. Tell him or her whether the stairs go up or down.  Get to the edge of the stairs. Allow the blind person to let you know when he or she is ready to proceed. The blind person may want a moment to calibrate before proceeding up or down the staircase.  Walk up or down the staircase, remaining one step ahead of the blind person. Go slowly to avoid injury. When you reach the top or bottom of the stairs, let the blind person know. Curbs and roads are very dangerous, even with a guide. If you are guiding a person who is blind, make sure that you can use the Accessible Pedestrian Signals, which can provide tactile arrows and audible explanations about when to cross. You will need to push a button to activate the system, and may be able to adjust the sound.  Cross the street at the narrowest point. Warn the person about curbs by saying "curb up" or "curb down." Approach a curb together. In addition to walking, you may need to...
