Article in English: Being outgoing is a tough goal to reach because it includes a lot of small behaviors. That is why it is a good idea to break this large goal down into smaller ones. Instead of telling yourself to be outgoing, set goals to have at least one conversation with a new person each day or to smile at five people every day. Try to make small talk (or if that's too much, just smiling) with one stranger or acquaintance every day, say "hi" to someone on the street, or ask your barista’s name. These little victories will keep you going and make you feel ready for loftier challenges. If you aren’t sure how to approach others in social settings, try joining a club for a particular interest. This gives you the opportunity to interact, usually in small-scale settings, with others who share an interest of yours.  Look for a club that encourages socializing, such as a book club or cooking class. You can ask questions and get into discussions, but the focus won’t be entirely on you. These situations can be great for shy people. Shared experiences can be a powerful bonding technique. Joining a club where you’ll share experiences with others gives you a head start -- you’ll already have common ground established. You don’t even have to leave your house to be outgoing. Invite people to come over for a movie night or dinner party. If you’re welcoming and inviting, others will be more likely to feel as though you value them (and they’re more likely to have fun). Try creating events that will foster conversation. You could host a BYOB wine tasting, where everyone has to sip and compare notes. Or, you could hold a potluck dinner, where everyone has to bring their favorite dish of their grandmother’s (and a copy of the recipe). Having a reason to talk with each other helps a party stay lively and enjoyable (and, let’s be honest, food and wine never hurt). A hobby can help you feel more in control, which may help you to be more outgoing. If you master a hobby, then you may feel proud and confident as well, which can give you even more...

Summary in Russian:

Поставьте перед собой четкие и здравые цели. Вступите в клуб. Приглашайте людей в гости. Овладейте каким-либо хобби. Ориентируйтесь на то, что встречают по одежке. Развивайте уже существующие дружеские отношения. Знакомьте людей друг с другом.


Article in English: Being part of a club is great because you get to meet people and slowly get to know them. Search online for clubs in your area or visit local shops that are related to your interests to see if they have postings about local organizations. Then, join 1 or more clubs to meet more guys.  For example, you might join your local chapter of the Sierra Club if you enjoy outdoor activities. Similarly, you could visit a comic book store to find a group that discusses comics or a club that plays board games. Meetup.com and Facebook groups might also help you find a local club. Taking a class is great for two reasons. First, you’ll likely meet some men. Second, it’ll also help you become a more fun, well-rounded person. Check the websites for your local community college, library, and educational organizations to find classes that interest you. Then, enroll in a class that you think will also appeal to men.  You should be able to find classes on topics like art, cooking, and writing at local nonprofits or stores that sell materials for these activities. Ask your librarian if they have any upcoming classes if you can’t find the information online. Many community colleges offer continuing education classes that aren’t part of a degree program. Doing volunteer work is also a great way to meet guys, and you’ll be helping your community. Pick a cause that’s important to you or choose volunteer work that’s fun for you. Then, look for a local organization that needs your help. Here are some suggestions:  Work in a local soup kitchen. Collect books for underprivileged children. Bathe and walk dogs at a local animal shelter. Become a docent at a local museum. Volunteer for a local film festival. Check local news sites, Facebook events, and social media pages for local organizations to find events or festivals in your area. This might include things like art openings, live concerts, parades, and farmers markets. Then, go to the ones that pique your interest. While you’re there, say “hi” to people you meet and try to turn...

Article in English: Being scared is about what pathways are being used and created in the brain. To stop being scared you have to basically rewire your brain. It's not as hard as it sounds thanks to neuroplasticity.  Neuroplasticity is involved in processing memories and how we learn. By practicing "desensitization" a person can change the pathways in their brain that react fearfully to the things that scare them. "Desensitization" is basically just being exposed to the thing that scares a person in gradual and controlled environments. Start by asking yourself reflective questions including what are you afraid of? Is your fear realistic? What is the worst thing that can happen to me in this situation? What can I do to protect myself from this outcome? Chart your emotional reaction to physical stimuli and surroundings that cause you to be scared. For instance, if spiders scare you, the physical stimulus is the appearance of the spider. From there the emotional reaction is fear, being scared and this can get heightened all the way to panic levels, depending on your response. Charting this will help you cultivate a detached reaction instead of an emotional reaction to the appearance of a spider. A detached reaction means that you react to the things that scare you from a place of observation rather than emotional reaction. This is something you have to practice and it helps to have mapped out your thought patterns so you understand how scary things make you emotionally react.  Recognize that you're being confronted with something you find scary and that you can either have an emotional reaction (which will in turn trigger more and more fear and anxiety) or you can have a detached reaction. Monitor your physical reactions. These may include trembling, a frozen feeling, heart palpitations, nausea, stomach pain, dizziness, crying, disrupted sleep, shallow or rapid breathing, feelings of anxiety or terror, and/or disrupted sleep. Coach yourself with mantras. Pick a couple mantras and write them down so that you have them with you at...

Article in English: Being tired has never improved the quality of anyone's work. Tiredness can slow your output, dull your performance, and, if you're prone to sleeping spells, seriously embarrass you in important meetings. On top of this, severely insufficient sleep has been correlated with a variety of health problems. Don't fall asleep at your desk or miss work because you've gotten sick - get 7-8 hours of sleep a night to be at your best. At best, workplace fatigue can be a minor distraction. At worst, it can be a serious safety concern. If you have a job where peoples' safety is at stake (for instance, if you're an air traffic controller or you drive a semi truck), it's imperative that you keep a good sleep schedule. Science has shown that a good exercise regimen improves your workplace mood and productivity. This is especially true for sedentary office jobs. If you spend most of your time at work sitting in front of a computer, make special effort to spend a little time every day exercising - not only will it make it easier to sit still at work, but it will make you feel happier, sharper, and more motivated. If you're starting an exercise routine for the first time, try a moderate workout combining with some. If you're trying to improve your working efficiency, you may be tempted to pursue your work with dogged seriousness. Often, this isn't a good idea - you may increase your efficiency in the short term, but if you never allow yourself any pleasure at work, it's easy to burn yourself out, leading to fatigue, stress, and a lack of motivation. Try to keep high spirits - if you feel good at work, you'll be more likely to stay motivated and ambitious.  Do small things to improve your mood that won't hinder your productivity - listen to music through headphones, take stretch breaks, or take your laptop to the break room for some peace and quiet. Make the most of your meal breaks - relish the chance to enjoy good food and tell jokes with your workplace friends. Use coffee with caution. Coffee can be a fantastic pick-me-up on...

Article in English: Believe it or not, boys get just as shy as girls do when it comes to making the first move. Smiles are friendly and welcoming – a smile can make a guy feel instantly secure about walking over and introducing himself. On the other hand, a frown is sure to make him nervous and keep him away. This goes hand in hand with smiling. You can smile all day long, but unless you make eye contact when you do it, it won’t signal to him that you want him to come talk to you. If you make eye contact and smile as you pass him he will notice, especially if it happens often. If he smiles back, all the better! Eye contact is great, but avoid outright staring at him. Glance over occasionally, but don’t stare too long. This is far more important than your hair or your clothes. Having confidence is not only an attractive personality trait, but it also makes you a more dynamic, interesting person. Someone with confidence will automatically attract people. Radiate positivity! When a guy sees you talking to his friends, it makes him feel much more comfortable about approaching you himself. Just make sure you aren’t flirting with his friends! He’ll notice that too, but not in a good way. When you’re around a guy that you want to talk to, being buried in your cell phone is definitely not a signal that you want to chat. Keep your head up and look alert, ready to engage. Communication is so much more than just using words – your body language also speaks volumes, even from across the room or hall.  Don’t cross your arms. It definitely sends the signal that you are not approachable. Watch your posture. When you slouch, you communicate to a guy without saying a word that you don’t feel confident enough to have him approach you. Keep your gestures smooth and firm. Relaxed hands imply confidence, whereas clenched hands can make you seem anxious and unapproachable. Try not to squirm in your outfit or fidget with anything. Doing so can make you appear anxious.

Article in English: Big projects can be intimidating - if they're big enough, it's easy to put them off, wasting time on less-important work until you're forced to tackle the entire project right up against the deadline. As an efficient worker, you should do important work first,  even when that means doing a small part of a large task. It doesn't feel as rewarding to do a small part of a big task as it does to complete an entire small task, but it's a smart use of your time. In the long run, you'll finish your most important tasks faster if you work on them a little bit every day. For example, if you've got to make a big presentation in one month's time, set a goal of creating an outline  today.  It's not terribly time-consuming, so it won't distract you from your other work, but it's an important first step that makes the rest of the process quicker and easier to complete. Unless you're at the  very  bottom of the workplace totem pole, you may have the opportunity to split up particularly repetitive tasks among one or more of your subordinates to save yourself time. Don't give your underlings projects that only  you  know how to complete satisfactorily. Instead, give them the time-consuming, monotonous tasks that keep you from using your talents on more important work. If you delegate work, remember to follow up with your assistant and give him/her a deadline.  Always  be gracious with your subordinates when they help you - if they feel like you appreciate them, they'll work hard for you on future projects.  If you're an intern, an entry-level employee, or someone else who's low-ranking in your company, you can still try to divide particularly monotonous work with employees who are at the same level as you (with their permission as well as the permission of your supervisor, of course). If you use a coworker's help, be ready to return the favor![[Image:Be More Efficient at Work Step 07Bullet01.jpg center If you've got a great relationship with your boss, you can even see if he can delegate some of the work to others for...

Article in English: Bipolar disorder is known to result in very obvious mood changes to those it affects.  These mood changes will swing from being manic to being depressed.  How long these moods last and how strong they are will depend on how strong your bipolar disorder is.  If you notice extreme changes in your mood, you should visit with your doctor to discover if you might have bipolar disorder.  A manic state may make you feel extremely happy, sociable, and possibly irritable. A depressive state can make you feel sad, hopeless, and lose interest in things you enjoy. Bipolar disorder can result in changes to your behavior.  These behavioral changes will occur in tandem with any mood changes that bipolar disorder causes.  Behavioral changes can sometimes be more obvious than mood changes and might indicate a possible case of bipolar disorder.  In a manic state you may talk quickly, have excess energy, feel restless, or take reckless actions. In a depressed state you may feel tired, have difficulty thinking, or even have thoughts of suicide. Emotions that change over time or in response to life events are a normal part of life.  However, moods and behaviors that change without connection to outside events and last for long periods of time can be indicative of bipolar disorder.  Pay attention to how long your moods last and if they are connected to life events that might make you feel that way.  Manic or mixed periods only need to last for seven days to allow for a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Some people may have a stable mood in between bouts of mania or depression. Depression that is related to bipolar disorder needs to last for only two weeks. For cyclothymia mild mood swings will last for at least two years. Mania is an excitable state that will last for at least a week and possibly longer.  A person who is in a manic state will likely be elevated, overconfident, and may begin many grandiose projects in a scattered manner.  Look for some of the following elements of a manic episode to help you identify a possible case...

Article in English: Birds are attracted to the sound of dripping or moving water. You can buy a birdbath or create a shallow pond with a fountain. Make sure it is close to the ground and not made of slippery material. If you are short on time or resources, hang a water-filled container with a hole on the bottom above a dish. Try not to place the water source near trees or bushes where cats might hide. Also, make sure the water is not more than 1 inch (2.5cm) deep. Consider using a heated water source during the winter. For the sake of sanitation, find a bath that is easy to clean. Ensure that the water does not become stagnant or harbor algae. Pesticides are harmful to birds in more ways than one. First, they kill vital sources of food for some species. Second, the chemicals in the pesticides can be dangerous for birds to ingest. In order to attract birds to your property, use natural forms of insect control instead of chemicals on your lawn, trees, and shrubs. Cats, snakes, raccoons, and rats prey on songbirds or their eggs, killing millions every year. No matter how hospitable your yard may seem, having a cat prowling around will act as a disincentive. Keep your cat away from feeding, drinking, and nesting areas if you are seriously interested in attracting birds. Hole restrictors, baffles, and tube entrances are good ways to secure birdhouses. Mounting the house well above ground and using predator repellent are two added safeguards.

Article in English: Birds do wag their tails, just like other pets. The bird will wag it back and forth. Generally, this gesture means the bird is happy. If you're nearby and he comes to you, that's a sign he's happy you're there. However, he's only happy if his head is up as he walks to you, rather than pointing face-down. While generally not a gesture, cockatiels like to talk when they are happy. They will sing to themselves or whistle. They'll also make little chirping noises.

Summary in Russian:

Article in English: Bitrex and Mavala Stop are two examples of popular inhibitors, but there are many options available. Check your local pharmacy, big box store, or grocery store. Some options may also be found online.  Each of these inhibitors use a safe, non-toxic chemical that tastes foul.  Read the instructions prior to application. Generally, you'll need to paint the inhibitor on your nails as you would paint polish. When you absentmindedly go to bite the painted nail, you'll get a taste of the nasty inhibitor, making it easier to remember to avoid repeating the same behavior. It might help to first apply a transparent coat of nail polish over the inhibitor as it lasts much longer and smooths the surface of your nails. The smooth surface will also help to remind you not to bite (it might turn out that applying only the coat will be sufficient). Place the bottle in your purse, car, or desk. When one coat wears off, apply another one. Persistence is important when using this method. As noted, there are numerous nibble inhibitors on the market. If one doesn't work for you or if you get too used to the taste, simply switch to another one and continue your efforts. Even if you've stopped biting your nails, you can keep the solution around as a trophy. If you're ever tempted to bite your nails in the future, then you can smell the solution to remind yourself of how unpleasant the experience was.

Article in English: Bleach, renowned for its ability to ruin colored fabrics by turning them white, is a useful tool for distressing old shirts. In this method, a dilute solution of bleach and water will be used to simulate the dulling, fading effect that years of wear can have on bright-colored clothing. This method is best for strong, bright hues (cherry red, traffic cone orange, and so on), but doesn't work as well on dark shades. For obvious reasons, it's also unsuited for whites. As always, only distress shirts that you don't have a special attachment to. You don't want to lose a treasured shirt because you accidentally spilled bleach on it.

Article in English: Bleaching and dying hair can really dry it out, so you'll want to give your hair a good head start. In the days leading up to streaking it, don't shampoo it or use hairspray and other hair products. Let your hair's natural oils protect it from the chemicals you'll be applying. When you're ready to streak it, start with hair that is completely dry. Your package of bleach may specify that you start with clean hair. Check the instructions before use. You need to separate the hair that will be bleached and colored from the rest before you can begin the process. You can do this with a highlighting cap, or by using hair clips and aluminum foil.   Beauty supply stores sell caps used to highlight your hair. You place the cap on your head and use a hook to pull strands of hair through tiny holes. Use this if you want all-over streaks. Hair clips and aluminum foil is the better technique to use if you want just a few large, bold streaks. Pull back the hair you don't intend to streak and clip it away from your head. Now take a long strip of aluminum foil and place it underneath the section of hair you want to streak. Pinch it around the roots to keep it in place. Put the bleach, developer, and red gold corrector in a bowl. Read the instructions that came with the bleach powder and developer to figure out how much to mix together. The amount you use depends on the size of the bottle you bought, and the brand of product you’re using.  If you're only streaking a few sections of hair, you can half the recipe, since you won't need enough to  bleach your entire head. The finished mixture will look bluish white. Use the tint brush to apply bleach from the tips to the roots of the sections of hair. Use only enough bleach needed to cover and saturate the hair. Continue applying bleach until the hair is completely covered.  It is important to wear gloves when applying bleach. The chemicals used in bleach are strong and can stain your hands and burn your skin. Do not get bleach anywhere near your eyes. If you're using the...

Article in English: Blind tag, for lack of a better term, played in the pool, is like Marco Polo, except the people not it are encouraged not to make noise. The game should stay in the shallow end. If you can, tie a line to separate the deep end of the pool from the shallow end of the pool. How long will the "it" person have to count for before the game can start? Does it count as "tagging" if the person who is "it" tags the person with his or her foot? Can the players who are not "it" go out of water at all, or do they have to stay in the pool? You can randomly choose, you can all shout, "1, 2, 3, not it!" or you can let someone who wants to be it go first. It doesn't matter who starts, and chances are, everyone will get a turn. Typically, the person should count to 10. He or she can also count above water if that's best. When the counting is over, the fun can begin! The other people should use this time to assume a tactical position, not cornered, but not too open, and as far away from "it" as possible. Unlike in Marco Polo, there is no shouting or talking, and the people who are escaping "it" should try to be as quiet as possible. Since the game will be quiet, the person who is "it" should try to pick up on where people are by the sounds they make in the water. He may also hear people randomly giggling or breathing close by. It's hard to stay completely quiet in the water! The person should just be careful not to move around too fast, and should keep his arms out in front of him, to avoid running into walls. Once someone is tagged, the new person who is "it" can count to ten and start the game all over again. The fun can continue for as long as you want. It's best played when there's no one else around -- if you're darting around with your eyes closed and there are strangers around, you are bound to annoy one of them pretty quickly! Have fun playing "blind tag" for as long as you want!

Article in English: Blisters are commonly caused by doing repetitive movements that cause friction. However, if you wear gloves before you even start your project, the friction created by these movements will be minimized and blisters can be prevented. For example, using a shovel for extended periods of time rubs repeatedly on the skin in the same spot. However, wearing gloves while using a shovel will cushion your hands and prevent blisters. Wearing new shoes or shoes that fit poorly can create blisters, especially on the toes and the back of the heel. To avoid getting blisters on your feet, make sure that your shoes fit correctly. Break in new shoes gradually by wearing them often but only for short periods of time. This repeated wear will break them in without rubbing long enough to create blisters. If you know that a pair of shoes causes blisters or you are going to do a project that you know will create blisters on your hands, be proactive and protect your body. Put padding on areas of your body that you think will get repeatedly rubbed, so that blisters can't form.  For example, put a bandage over a spot on your hand that gets repeatedly rubbed while you are doing a craft project or some other repetitive motion. If you have problems with blisters on your feet, wear 2 pairs of socks to create more padding on them. There is also padding available at most pharmacies that is made to cushion areas of your feet that rub in your shoes. This padding, often called "mole skin," typically sticks to the skin to keep it in place. Use lotions, powders, and petroleum jelly to reduce friction between 2 areas of your skin that rub against each other. For instance, if your legs are repeatedly rubbing up against each other, put some petroleum jelly between them so that the rubbing doesn't create friction and heat, which will cause blisters. For example, those that ride bikes or run long distances experience a lot of skin rubbing, which can lead to blisters. Using lubrication between areas that rub can minimize discomfort and blisters.

Article in English: Blisters that are large, painful, and in an area that is hard for you to get to can be treated by a doctor. A doctor will have sterile tools they can use for draining the blister. This will ensure that the area is clean and disinfected before sending you on your way. An infected blister can lead to bigger problems, so it's best to have a doctor check it out and advise you on the proper treatment. They may clean and dress the area and give you a prescription for antibiotics. Signs of infection include the following:  Red, itchy, swollen skin near the affected area. Yellow pus emerging from under the skin flap of the deflated blister. The area around the blister is warm to the touch. Red streaks on the skin running from the infected area. In rare cases, an infected blister can lead to bigger health problems as the infection moves throughout the body. Seek immediate medical care if you have the following serious symptoms:  A high fever. Chills. Vomiting. Diarrhea.

Article in English: Blonde hair comes with a more sensitive upkeep. For example, with blonde hair, you can't jump right into a pool. Blonde hair absorbs chlorine and other chemicals that will give it a green appearance after swimming. Also, blonde hair that is washed in a shower where the water is high in copper or iron will eventually start to look orangy-red or green. In regards to washing blond hair, it is advised to shampoo your hair every three days to keep it looking healthy and toned correctly. If you absolutely have to wash your hair everyday, going blonde might be tricky for you. Blondes are said to have more fun, but being blonde can also welcome unwanted attention and insult. If you do make the transition to blonde hair, make sure you have tough skin for possibly offensive blonde jokes. While these joke usually mean no harm, they can come off as rude and distasteful. In addition to negative attention, blonde hair can also be attention drawing in positive ways, so either way, be ready for more eyes to be on you. If you are unsure about undergoing a major hair transition, your friends and family are great people to turn to for input. Tell them you are thinking about going blonde and gauge their reactions. If they are all for it and seem excited, that may be your indicator to go for it. If they express reservations about your idea, find out why. Take their opinions and tips into consideration, but regardless of what they may say, make sure you do what makes you happy. There are many online hair sites that will allow you to upload your photo and add in hair colors so you can see what you would look like before actually doing it. This is a great way to play around with different colors and cuts so you can get great ideas for styles.

Article in English: Blood tests can increase your stress level or anxiety when you are nervous about the test. Unfortunately, becoming stressed increases your blood pressure, constricts your veins, and makes getting your blood drawn more difficult.  Knowing how to reduce your stress can help improve your preparation for the test and increase the likelihood that the phlebotomist will find the vein the first time. You could try deep breathing exercises or repeating a calming phrase, such as "This will be over very soon. Plenty of people have blood drawn. I can handle this." Look at the "Stress Reduction Techniques" section of this article for more tips. Before you go to the doctor to have your blood taken, recognize that you might be anxious about having your blood drawn. You may also have a fear of needles. Between three and 10 percent of the population has a fear of needles (Belonephobia) or a fear of all injections (Trypanophobia). Interestingly, 80% of people with a phobia of needles report that they have a first-degree relative also has a strong fear of needles. It's possible this fear is partially genetic. If you have had your blood drawn before and know that it is particularly painful for you, ask your doctor for EMLA. This is a topical anesthetic which is put on the draw site between 45 minutes to 2 hours before the blood draw to numb the area.  If you know that you are susceptible to pain, ask if EMLA is an option for you.  EMLA is commonly used for children, but it is much less common for use by adults because it takes so long to work. You can also ask about "Numby Stuff," a proprietary topical preparation that includes a combination of lidocaine and epinephrine and a mild electrical current to numb an area. It works in about 10 minutes. To feel better mentally about having blood drawn, you need to understand the procedure. The phlebotomist will wear gloves to reduce exposure to your blood. She will usually place an elastic band around your arm above the elbow and have you make a fist. During a typical blood test, blood...

Article in English: Blood will often make your urine appear to be red, pink or brown (similar in shade to Coca-Cola). After you pee, step back and inspect the color of the urine before you flush the toilet to look for abnormal colors in it.  Your urine should be clear or a very light yellow in shade. It should resemble the color of lemon juice from one squeezed lemon. If your urine is a dark yellow, it might indicate that you are dehydrated. Increase your water intake to 8 to 10 glasses of water a day in order to have healthier urine.  Dark or orange urine can also be a sign of a problem with your liver, especially if you have light colored stools or yellowing skin. Consult your doctor immediately if this describes your symptoms.  If you've recently eaten beets, your urine may appear pink. Don't let this alarm you as it is not an indication of a medical issue. Blood in the urine can often be a symptom of a problem in your bladder, urinary tract, or kidneys.  Have you had any pain or irritation when you have used the bathroom recently? Have you had trouble controlling when you urinate or do you experience a burning sensation when you pee? If so, this might be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI). Have you had any pain in your kidneys? You will generally have felt this in your back. Your kidneys are located under your ribs and on either side of your spine (not on the small of your back or above the buttocks, as commonly perceived). If you have any pain on your back, you might have an inflammation or irritation in the kidneys.  Are you a long distance runner? Blood in the urine has been connected to vigorous exercise, especially marathon runners. In this case, blood in the urine is most likely harmless, but you should still consult your doctor.  Are you menstruating? Blood in the urine can occur when you use the bathroom during menstruation. While blood in the urine in this case is generally harmless, you should still consult your doctor if your symptoms persist after you finish menstruating. If you detect blood in your urine,...

Article in English: Blow drying, straightening, and curling your hair too often can cause it to become brittle and dry. Using too high of a temperature can also cause damage. If it is not too cold outside, consider letting your hair dry naturally. If you must heat style your hair, use a heat protection spray first.  Consider using ionic hairdryers. They infuse your hair with negatively-charged ions, which help seal moisture into your hair.  Use a lower heat setting or temperature on your hairdryer, straightener, or curling iron. It will take longer to get the style you want, but it will be kinder to your hair. Don't blow dry, straighten, or curl your hair every day. Even with a heat protection spray, too much heat can be damaging. Experiment with different hairstyles, such as natural curls, braids, ponytails, etc. Choose shampoo and conditioner intended for your hair type. In most cases, this will be dry or curly hair; if you have fine, dry hair, however, use shampoo and conditioner meant for fine hair. Look for products that contain aloe vera or apricot kernel oil for extra moisture and hydration.  Avoid washing your hair with hot water. Hot water can strip your hair (and skin) of its natural oils and moisture, leaving it feeling dry and dull. Silicones may help make your hair look shiny and smooth, but they can only be removed with sulfates. If you don't remove them properly, they will lead to build-up, which can cause your hair to look limp and dull. Sulfates are harsh, cleaning agents found in many household cleaners. They are great at removing silicones, but they also leave hair feeling brittle and dry. It may sound gross, but washing your hair only twice or thrice a week is actually better for your hair. The more often you wash your hair, the drier it will become. If you must wash your hair every day, consider co-washing where you wash your hair using just conditioner. You wash your hair with shampoo only 2 or 3 times a week.  Take care of how you wash your hair. Use shampoo mostly on your scalp, and conditioner mostly on...

Article in English: Body shapers are worn under your clothes and help you keep your proportions in check. A good shaper should not be so tight that it leaves marks, but it will keep a little excess fat in check and give you an overall smoother, streamlined look. Many heavy set women are gifted with enviable busts, but this makes it even more important for you to have a supportive bra that fits you correctly. A bra that does not fit correctly may make you look saggy, but a proper fit will help you achieve a very womanly, mature look. Nightgowns that drape over your curves will usually look very flattering. Long gowns work well for most woman, but shorter women should also consider shorter versions of this style. Look for a gown with a deep v-neck to flatter your bust as much as possible.

Article in English: Boiling a wooden, clay, or plastic bowl or chillum could result in deformation or discoloration. Be sure that your bowl is glass before proceeding with this method. If the resin or plant matter on your pipe gets stuck on the pot, it could be hard to remove. Choose a pot that you wouldn't mind losing, just to be safe. You don't want to risk breaking the pipe or bowl by dropping it into the boiling water and accidentally shattering it. Leave for 5 to 10 minutes. You don't want the water to get increasingly dirty or resinous. Be sure that the pipe or bowl is secure when you discard the old water. Allow to stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Repeat the discarding and refilling process as necessary, one or two more times.  Always handle the pipe itself with caution, especially after it has come from boiling water. Glass conducts heat very well, meaning that it's likely to be very hot. Be careful when you discard old water and refill the pot. To stay on the safe side, temporarily remove the pipe or bowl with tongs and then place it back in the pot when the water has been changed.

Article in English: Boot cut jeans are the most flattering style of jeans and they look great on almost every body type. Boot cut jeans are fitted through the thigh, with a tighter knee and a slight flare at the bottom.  Boot cut jeans show off your curves, but also help balance out your thighs. Tuck a loose blouse into your boot cut jeans and add a belt to give the outfit some edge. If you have a smaller butt, opt for skinny jeans instead. They’ll make your behind look bigger, when compared to the size of your legs. But skinny jeans are not just for skinny people - anyone can wear skinny jeans, as long as they're styled correctly.  Look for skinny jeans with some stretch to give yourself a little more room to move and breathe. Wear skinny jeans with tops that stop just above the widest portion of your hips. Tuck your skinny jeans into knee-high boots, or wear them with ballet flats during warmer weather. Jeans fit differently depending on the fabric they’re made of and jeans made of stretch fabrics are consistently the most flattering looking and comfortably fitting.  Look for jean blends that include lycra, elastane, polyurethane, or spandex. The stretch of the jean will help condense your thighs and make your bottom look higher and tighter. Jeans come in a variety of different fits, but across the board, the most flattering rise is the mid-rise jean. Look for a jean that sits a few inches above your pelvic bone, but still underneath your belly button.  Low rise jeans put pressure on your stomach, which causes your fat to bunch up above your waistline. High-rise pairs draw more attention to your stomach. Look for a contour waistband to keep the jeans from creating a gap between your back and the waistband of your jeans.  A contour waistband is a waistband that is cut on the bias, thereby making it more flexible. Denim comes in many different colors and faded jeans come in and out of fashion. Choose a jean with a slight fade in the center of the leg; the fade will make your legs look longer and leaner.  Avoid jeans with fading...

Article in English: Boric acid is a more effective insecticide, more soluble in water, and is equally unlikely to produce any lasting harm in humans. Both can be applied as a powder and have identical methods of killing the insect. Boric acid will appear as large white crystals in suspension. Boric acid can be bought as well, and is less hazardous than hydrochloric acid, which is required to convert borax into the far more effective insecticide, boric acid.  Hydrochloric acid is sold commonly as muriatic acid as a solution to acidify swimming pools.   Hydrochloric acid should be handled with extreme caution. Use gloves, eye protection, and respiratory protection (in a well-ventilated area) and can cause significant harm. Have baking soda on hand to neutralize any strong-acid reaction that is unintended. Do not use water to treat strong acid burns. Treat any excess solution with baking soda to neutralize the strong acid. Do not pour the solution down the sink until you are sure it is neutralized. Use litmus paper to test the acidity of the excess solution. When the crystals are dry they are ready for storage.

Article in English: Both acute and chronic renal failure are often accompanied by high urine output or no urine output. Chronic renal failure, specifically, is accompanied by urinary incontinence and/or recurrent urinary tract infections. Damage to the renal tubules results in polyuria, which means excess production of urine and usually occurs in the beginning stages of renal failure. Chronic kidney failure can also cause decreased amounts of urine, which usually occurs in more advanced forms of the condition. Other urinary changes may include:  Proteinuria: During renal failure protein and red blood cells leak in the urine. Protein in the urine causes foamy urine. Hematuria: Dark orange urine is the result of red blood cells in the urine. One of the first signs of acute renal failure is fatigue. This may be due to anemia, which is when you don’t have enough oxygen-carrying red blood cells in your body; less oxygen makes you feel tired and cold. The onset of anemia is attributed to the fact that kidneys produce the hormone erythropoietin (EPO), which triggers your bone marrow to make red blood cells. However, because the kidneys are damaged, they make less EPO, and hence fewer red blood cells are produced. Edema is the medical term for fluid buildup in your body, and it can occur in both acute and chronic renal failure. When your kidneys are no longer functioning as they should, fluid builds up in the cells and causes swelling. This happens mostly in the hands, feet, legs, and face. Dizziness, poor concentration, and mental apathy may be related to anemia, as not enough red blood cells are reaching your brain. Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) causes fluid filled cysts to build up in the kidneys and sometimes the liver; these can be painful. The fluid in the cysts contains toxins that can injure the nerves in the lower extremities, resulting in neuropathy, the disfunction of one or more of the peripheral nerves. Neuropathy, in turn, causes pain in the lower back and legs. As your kidneys begin to fail, metabolic waste products...

Article in English: Both green and black olives may be cured in brine, a mixture of salt and water that preserves the olives and gives them a salty taste. This method takes longer than water brining, but it's the best method to use for ripe olives. Manzanillo, mission, and kalamata olives are commonly cured in brine.  Inspect the olives to make sure that they are as unbruised as possible. Look for holes left by insects or birds. If the olives were treated with chemicals, rinse them off before you begin the brining process. You may want to sort the olives by size. A batch of olives will cure more evenly if all the olives are a similar size. In order for the brine to be able to reach the insides of the olives, you'll need to slit the olives to let the moisture in. Make a vertical cut down the olive using a sharp knife; make sure not to cut the pit. They need to be stored in containers that can be sealed against the air, and glass is best for this purpose. Pack the olives into jars, leaving an inch of space at the top. Mix 3/4 cup of pickling salt with a gallon of cold water. Pour the brine into the jars so that it completely covers the olives. Seal the jars and store them in a cool, dark place, such as the pantry or cellar. During this time the olives will begin to brine. Leave the jars undisturbed to allow the salt and water to seep into the olives. After one week, drain the olives and discard the medium brine, which will be full of bitter flavor. Keep the olives in the same glass containers. Mix 1 1/2 cups of pickling salt with one gallon of water. Pour the strong brine over the olives to completely cover them. Seal the containers. Keep them in a cool place out of sunlight. At the end of two months, taste an olive to determine whether the bitterness level suits your taste. If not, change the brine again and store the olives for another month or two. This process can be repeated until you're happy with the way the olives taste.

Article in English: Botulism is most likely to be caused by consuming improperly preserved or handled food. Example of when the bacteria might exist in food include:  Fish that has been pickled without enough salinity or acidity in the brine to kill off the bacteria Smoked fish stored at too high a temperature Fruits and vegetables that lack high enough acid content to kill off bacteria Any canned food that hasn't been canned according to modern, standard practice Honey products for any person under the age of one and for anyone whose immune system is somehow compromised Each time you cook a meal, be sure to prepare the food in a way that's safe and sanitary. The following lists some of the basic kitchen hygiene practices that you should follow each and every time:  Wash dirt from your fruits and vegetables. Botulinum bacteria resides in soil, and any food that still has dirt on it can present a hazard. Scrub potatoes clean before baking. Potatoes that have been wrapped and cooked in aluminum foil should be kept hot until they are eaten or refrigerated. Clean mushrooms before using, to remove soil. Consider boiling home-canned foods for 10 minutes before eating them. Homemade salsa and cheese sauces should be refrigerated. Refrigerate anything made from dairy. Discard heat-treated food containers where their air-tight state appears compromised, such as food cans with pinprick holes or rust. And in case you're roaming or living outdoors, avoid eating old roadkill or beached sea creatures. You don't know how long these creatures have been lying about for and the bacteria may have a good hold on them. Sometimes people get botulism from eating packaged food that's been contaminated. Knowing when not to eat packaged or prepared food is a very important way to prevent botulism. Botulism spores themselves don't have a taste or smell, so don't rely on smell alone to decide if something is safe.  If canned food is dented, partially opened, or in any way misshapen, don't eat the food inside it. If canned food fizzes, bubbles or smells bad...

Article in English: Boxer dogs are highly energetic but also intelligent animals. They will learn through through repetition, so it's important you begin issuing clear commands and cues early on, even when they're puppies.  For young puppies (8 to12 weeks old), keep training sessions short but fun. For example, when you bring your new puppy home, take him to the toilet spot in the garden and praise him when he uses it. It will be a coincidence at first, but it's never too young to tell him "Toilet time" when he happens to squat. Then lavish lots of praise on your dog.This will help your dog learn to connect that behavior with praise from the get-go and make him more likely to repeat it.  You can also start with simple commands such as "Sit". With a young pup, the training is a simple as spotting he's about to sit anyway, and when his hind leg hits the ground, saying "Sit" and making a bit of a fuss of him. He'll be perplexed at first, but soon he'll realize the link between the word and the action. This method works by rewarding good behavior, while ignoring the bad. This capitalizes on the idea of using what motivates a Boxer puppy to train him: rewards of food and attention/affection. The idea is that the Boxer works hard to repeat the behavior which earned him a treat or a fuss. The unwanted behavior was ignored by you, the trainer, and in your dog's mind does not benefit him at all, is a waste of energy, and therefore is not worth repeating. Because Boxers like food and attention, this is best way to train them.  Punishment is not a part of this training technique. Never beat your dog. Beating or hitting dogs when they behave undesirably is not a useful training measure. Instead of learning from the punishment, your dog will instead become fearful of you, which ultimately defeats the training process since that is not the desired result. In the end, rewarding good behavior is more useful and constructive for training purposes than punishing bad behavior. Appeal to your Boxer puppy's belly. Boxers are very food-oriented and...

Article in English: Brass or copper metals work best. This process creates the green verdigris patina. You can find recipes that use different ingredients to create a wide range of other colors by using the same methods. Make sure the salt is non-iodized, such as sea salt.  Pour the mixed solution into a bowl if your object is small. Place the solution in a spray bottle if you plan on using this process on a large item. You can find many other recipes to make patinas. Chlorides will create green shades, while sulfides will create brown shades. Completely submerge the metal object. Let it sit. You can also spray the object and set it out. Reapply the solution to the surface several times over the next 30 minutes. Place it on a paper towel. Allow it to sit for several hours to develop. Once it has completely developed, you can decide if you want to repeat the process to change the object further. This will seal the altered color onto the metal. Once you are satisfied with the coloring of your metal object, coat the entire surface with varnish. Be sure the metal is completely dry. If there is still moisture on the metal when you seal it, the metal will tarnish.

Article in English: Breathing correctly is imperative to having a strong voice. The key is to breathe deeply:  As you inhale and exhale, try to inflate your stomach and kidney (back) areas with your breath. To ensure that you’re breathing into these areas, place your hands around your waist, with your thumbs on your back, your fingers at your front, and your palms resting on your sides down towards your hips. You should feel your hands expand and contract with each breath. Over time, as you strengthen your breath, these expansions and contractions will get bigger and longer. If you have trouble breathing deeply, try lying on the floor on your back, with your hands on your stomach. When you inhale, your hands should rise; when you exhale, your hands should lower. You can even place a book on your stomach and make it rise up as you inhale and lower when you exhale. Try hissing as you exhale to force the air out.  Note that your shoulders should not be moving up and down with your breath. When you’re breathing correctly, when you inhale, the lower muscles (diaphragm) over your abdomen should move outward, making room for more air. As you sing (or talk or just exhale), use those muscles to push the air back out.  Use the muscles over your lower back (around your kidneys) in exactly the same way to control your inhalations and exhalations. Avoid hunching over as you contract your abs. Pay attention to the position of your feet, knees, hips, abdomen, chest, shoulders, arms, and head:  Stand with your feet slightly apart and put one foot slightly in front of the other so that your weight is slightly forward. Relax your knees and keep them slightly bent. When aiming for good posture it can be tempting to lock your knees; be careful not to do this. Relax your hands and let them hang at your sides.

Article in English: Brightening shampoos formulated specifically for blonde dye will usually work best, but those meant to correct silver tones can also work in many cases. Either way, look for a brightening shampoo with a cool blue or purple hue to help balance out the warm brassy tones in your blonde.  In a pinch, blue or purple anti-dandruff shampoo may also help balance out some of the brassiness, but a brightening shampoo intended specifically for this purpose will probably be more effective. Apply the shampoo according to label instructions. Usually, you’ll need to apply it like you would apply any normal shampoo: massage a dime-sized or nickel-sized amount into your scalp and hair, then rinse with warm water. While following your shampooing with a normal conditioner will protect your hair from damage, following up with a brightening conditioner will both nourish your hair and further your color-correcting efforts. When possible, try to use a conditioner that matches the brand and product line of your brightening shampoo.  Like your shampoo, your conditioner should also be a cool-hued blue or purple to help balance out the warm brassy shades in your hair.  Label instructions may vary, but typically, you’ll need to apply the conditioner after shampooing and leave it in for about three minutes prior to rinsing. Most brightening conditioners should not be left in the hair without rinsing. Before drying your hair, mist a heat protecting spray or work a heat protecting serum into your locks. Heat damage can worsen the brassiness of blonde hair, but a heat protecting product can help shield your hair from the additional damage. This is another important way to protect your brassy-blonde hair from heat. When using your hair dryer, make sure that it’s set on the “low” setting instead of “high.” It’s also a good idea to leave it partially damp instead of drying it completely. You should also avoid the use of flat irons and curling irons as much as possible, at least until your hair returns to the proper shade. If you notice...

Article in English: Bring a bag with you to eliminate countless trips to the trash bin. Throw away all obvious trash, such as wrappers and old mail, and if you have a little extra time, assess your space for usefulness. Are there objects that don’t get much use or don’t suit your tastes anymore? Now may be a good time to get rid of the excess. Having a large amount of clutter in the area can make starting more intimidating. Gather anything that’s out of place, such as toys, video games, books, papers, etc., and put in a pile in the middle of the room. Once you’ve gathered all the clutter, start putting each piece back where it belongs.   To keep the pile contained, use a laundry basket to hold all the clutter as you collect it. Making this pile first will help you focus on that one main task and makes the room look cleaner faster--seeing visible progress can be encouraging and motivating! Completing this task daily will keep clutter from piling up and becoming overwhelming the next time you clean. If you’re in a hurry to clean up for company and you run out of time, the basket can be put out of sight and organized later. However, if you have time, it is best to take a few minutes and put things back in their places right away. If you only have time for a basic cleaning, it’s important to make sure the focal points of the room like the sofa get the most attention. This way, you can maximize your time and effort and make the room look visibly cleaner.  Fluff pillows, straighten seat cushions, and fold any blankets to tidy up this area. Use a handheld vacuum or a vacuum wand extension to pick up any crumbs, hair, or lint on the upholstery. Run a slightly damp cloth over main surfaces such as the coffee table, TV, and shelves to pick up dust and spot-clean any fingerprints. Microfiber cloths are perfect for this step.

Article in English: Bring a large pot of water to a boil on the stovetop. Boiling hot water will make the fibers of the shirt contract which will make it shrink smaller. If you're looking to shrink a shirt as much as possible, high heat is the best way to go.  Remove the pot from the stove. Submerge the shirt in the hot water. Use a spoon to push the shirt all the way underwater making sure it is completely covered by the water. Soak the shirt for 30 minutes. Set your washing machine settings to the hottest water possible. Wash the shirt on a regular wash cycle. If you bought a new shirt and want to shrink it before wearing, washing the shirt on hot will tighten the fibers and reduce its size slightly.  Hot water may cause some fabrics to bleed or fade, wash the shirt alone to avoid damaging other clothes. The agitation of the washing machine in top load machines will crinkle fabrics and lead to more shrinkage than a front loading machine. Place the shirt in the dryer and dry it on the dryer’s hottest setting. The heat will cause the shirt to shrink a little bit. With the exception of wool fibers, the dryer won't shrink clothes as much as hot water tends to. If you only want your shirt to shrink a little bit, wash it in cool water and dry on the highest setting.  Heat will shrink synthetic blend fabrics more than pre-shrunk natural fiber clothing. Wool fabrics will felt in the dryer which causes the fabric to bunch and shrink as individual fabrics rub against each other and stick together.

Article in English: Bring the left edge of your pattern to the right edge and sew down the edges to connect them. Sew them together from the top edge of the pattern where you cast on to the row with the marker at the top of the legs. Rotate the shape so that this seam is on the back of the teddy bear.  Use a blunt tipped needle to sew the pieces together to make it easier. If you are a beginner, then you can use the backstitch to sew the pieces together. Starting from one side simply push the needle down through both layers and bring around the edge and push down through the same location to begin. Then move over one-quarter inch and bring the needle back up through both layers. Continue stitching until you reach the end of the seam. Now that the seam is on the back of the teddy bear there will be two pieces at the bottom that will form the legs. Sew from the top of the legs all the way down the inside seam to the bottom foot seam to close the legs. Do this on both legs. You can again use the backstitch to sew the seams. Use cotton or any type of stuffing to fill the teddy bear. Do not overstuff but fill the teddy completely, including the legs and feet. Sew the top seam of your pattern shut to close the head. Try to round the corners slightly if possible. Again you can use the backstitch to connect the seams. Fold the arm pieces in half lengthwise and sew along the long end and the bottom edge to make the arms and hands. You can again use the backstitch to sew these seams together if you would like. Stuff the arms with the same material you used for the body of the teddy bear. Then close the tops of the arms. Attach the arms of the teddy bear to the body using a simple backstitch or other stitch that you prefer. The arms should be attached just below the neck on each side.

Article in English: Bringing up a mutual friend in your conversation will help you to draw a personal connection to the boy, even if you don't know him well. He will feel more at ease, as you will no longer seem like a complete stranger! Having a common friend also gives you something (or someone) to talk about.  Try saying something like "I think you know my friend Allison. Where did you two meet?"     Or "Oh so you know Sam? We used to go to school together! He's hilarious, isn't he?" Referencing pop culture is a clever, non-personal way to bring up personal interests. By finding out what kind of movies or music a guy likes, you can gain an insight into the type of person he is and what his interests are.  For televisions shows, ask him something like "Do you watch Game of Thrones? Who is your favorite character?"     For music, ask him "Have you heard Daft Punk's new album? What did you think?" For movies, "Have you seen the latest "Fast and Furious" film? I heard it's actually pretty good!" Mentioning an upcoming event, such as a school concert or exam, can give you something to get excited or nervous about with the boy. This creates a rapport between the two of you and allows the guy to see how much you have in common!  If you're both taking the same exam, you could say something like "I'm dreading the math final next week. I suck at algebra! How are you feeling about it?"     If there's a school concert coming up, you could ask him if he's planning on going to see it, and if he knows anybody involved. If it's coming up to a holiday, you could say something like "I can't wait for Halloween next week. My friend is having a house party and I've got a great vampire costume planned. Are you doing anything fun?" Discovering that you have a shared interest is conversational gold and will really help you to start establishing a bond with the guy. It doesn't matter what the interest is - be it reading, running, racing cars or rocking out - what matters is that it's something you share.  If you discover that you both like running...

Article in English: Brow serum is a product that is designed to stimulate growth at the follicle level with peptides. Some people have greater success with serums than others with these serums; they can be quite expensive, and they don't work quickly. If you'd like to give one a try, look for eyelash serums as well, which contain the same active ingredients and are more widely available at drugstores. There is some debate over the effectiveness of brow serums, in general, so keep that in mind when choosing whether to spend money on them. While no hair growth serums formulated for eyebrows have been scientifically proven to work, you can check reviews from unbiased sources to determine if you want to try a specific product anyway. Stimulate hair growth the natural way by making sure you're getting the vitamins and minerals you need to maintain healthy hair and skin. Get plenty of protein, vitamin B, iron, zinc, and omega 3's. Add these healthy foods to your diet:  Walnuts, avocados, and olive oil Carrots, mangos, and sweet potatoes Lean meat, salmon, and other fish Leafy greens like spinach and kale

Article in English: Bruxism is a condition where a person grinds, gnashes, or clenches his teeth unconsciously. Sleep bruxism is the condition of doing this at night. It is often related to daily stress. However, bruxism may also be due a general or local condition such as occlusal (bite) problems. Some people do grind or clench their teeth during the day, but bruxism often occurs at night when the person is asleep. Because of this, it can often be difficult to self-diagnose bruxism. Teeth grinding occurs at night, so you should check in the morning to see if you have any symptoms. It can be difficult to figure out that you grind your teeth on your own, but here are some signs that may indicate that you do grind your teeth at night:  A dull, constant headache. A sore jaw caused by the masseter muscle hurting (pain when you chew). Audible teeth grinding sounds as you're falling asleep. Tooth sensitivity to heat, cold, or brushing. Inflammation of the gums (gingivitis). Wounds on the inside of the cheeks (from biting). Worn teeth (surfaces look different than usual). If you sleep in the same bed as a loved one, simply ask him or her if he has ever heard you grinding your teeth in your sleep. Ask him to wake up earlier than you or go to bed later than you and to look out for any signs of teeth grinding. If this person wakes up in the middle of the night, he should also look out for those symptoms. If you sleep on your own but really want to confirm that you're grinding your teeth along with checking for the symptoms, then you can consider recording yourself while you sleep and listening for any grinding sounds. If you suspect that you have been grinding your teeth, consult your dentist. He or she will be able to examine your mouth and jaw for signs of bruxism like jaw tenderness or worn-down teeth. Once you find out that you have bruxism, there are some home remedies that you can try as well as some professional treatments, that can help treat your condition. The dentist will also check to make sure that you are not suffering from...

Article in English: Bugs can be a good source of protein and sustenance when you’re out in the wild. Search on the ground and dig in the dirt for bugs like worms, beetles, grasshoppers, and crickets. Look particularly in patches of damp earth and in rotting logs. Bugs love moisture. Don’t just eat any bug, because some are poisonous or have pincers.  Before you eat the bugs, remove their extremities and outer shells if they have them. Then crush them with a rock and cook the pulp over your fire. Search at the base of trees for edible nuts like acorns. These can be roasted on a fire and are a valuable source of protein. Some trees, particularly pines, spruces, and firs (all evergreens with needles) also have edible inner bark. Once you’ve found one of these trees, you can dig into the bark with a rock to get to the rubbery, cream-colored edible inner layer. Pine needles can also be steeped in hot water to make a tea. Pine needle tea is a source of valuable nutrients, particularly Vitamin C.Do not drink pine needle tea if you are pregnant, as it has been shown to be harmful to unborn babies. As you move around during the day, keep an eye out for bird nests on the ground among tree roots or in the branches of trees with eggs in them. You can collect the eggs, and even possibly catch the bird itself if you hang out until it returns to the nest.  To cook an egg without a pan, gently tap a hole in the top 1 centimetre (0.39 in) wide by 1 centimetre (0.39 in) long with a small branch.  Then, use a stick to pull some of the coals from the fire to the edge of your fire pit, and make a bed for the egg with a circular depression in it.  Place the egg in the coal bed and let it cook for approximately 5 to 10 minutes (you should be able to tell if it’s cooked by looking through the hole on the top).  Once the egg is cooked, you can peel off the shell and eat it! Find a young hardwood sapling and use a rock to cut it down. You’ll want a sapling that is approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) in length and at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) to 2 inches (5.1 cm) in...

Article in English: Build some history. It may take time, but a girl isn’t likely to leave her boyfriend for someone she hasn’t known long. The happier the relationship she has with her boyfriend, the more patient you’ll have to be. Talk to her in ways that show you’re confident, comfortable, and assertive.  To do this, develop your own self-worth. Keep good hygiene, exercise, eat well, and practice speaking in a mirror or with others. Approach while feeling secure. Speak clearly and maintain strong eye contact. Be direct when opening up a topic relevant to her. If she’s reading a book, for example, ask her about it, focus on it until the conversation begins to wear out, then transition topics. It’s easy to resort to droning on about your job or your friends. This is a mistake, since this is boring and everyone else talks about the same things with their friends. Instead, engage her. Keep entertaining facts and stories and use them in small amounts. A common communication trick people use is to ask deep questions of the other person that provoke more than a yes or no answer, such as, “You must meet a lot of interesting people as a bank teller, tell me about your favorite customer.” To do this, find out her ideal boyfriend. Ask her, “If you could be with anyone in the world, what would he look like? What would he act like? How would you feel?” Make it as vivid as possible then compare her boyfriend to that ideal.  For example, if she says, “I want someone who will listen to me,” say, “Your boyfriend seems so busy, but I’m sure he tries his best.” Never insult the boyfriend or conclude his imperfections outright for her. The girl you’re attracted to can have hundreds of guys telling her she’s beautiful. Don’t sit around heaping compliments on her and don’t simply do the things her boyfriend doesn’t do, such as listen to her relationship problems or buy her food. These will make you into a friend or a source of money or attention before she goes back to her boyfriend. Use your singleness. Stay mysterious, intriguing, and...

Article in English: Bullies select targets who they perceive as being weak. People with fewer friends, or people who are physically smaller are more readily targeted by bullies. Because bullies lack confidence, they will only select targets they can intimidate and dominate. By befriending those who are likely to be bullied, you'll take away the ammunition and find safety in numbers. It can be tempting and misguided to want to pile on a kid getting bullied to get the attention away from yourself. "Hey, if that kid's getting it, it means I'm not getting it!" Never do this. Instead, stick up for the bullied and everyone will end up being better off. As you roam the halls of your school and neighborhood, keep an eye out for the signs of bullying. Any time you see a bigger kid picking on a smaller kid, or any time you see a classmate who seems beat down and nervous, start paying attention and learn to fight bullying. Travel the halls with friends, and walk home with other kids in your neighborhood to stay safe in numbers. Bullies will be less likely to pick on a group of kids.  If you are confronted by a bully, stay solid in a pack. Stick with the plan. Tell them to stop and stare them down. Tell your friends to do the same. Stay confident. If a bully starts picking on a friend in your group, never laugh or join in the bullying. Don't try to deflect the bullying elsewhere, or you're engaging in bully-type behavior yourself. to earn respect. Spread goodwill and be friendly to more people as a way of earning respect widely. If you're known as a person of character and confidence, someone who is unshaken by confrontation, you won't be bullied. Be kind to everyone, the popular and the unpopular, even if you're not best friends. Don't take cheap opportunities to exploit or tease other people for your personal gain. When you've got a network of people built up around you, use that network to ignore people who would bully and would use bullying tactics to intimidate others. Freeze them out. If a bully confronts you about not talking to them...

Article in English: Bullies typically bully other people because of issues that are going on in their own lives. Unfortunately, they have trouble dealing with their own problems so they project their unhappiness onto you. However, it’s important for you to know that the bullying isn’t really about you. You have many wonderful characteristics, regardless of what a bully may say. She/He is probably bullying you for one of the following reasons:  A desire to feel powerful Jealousy To look tough in front of others To feel powerful To escape her/his own internal pain She/He is being bullied The easiest thing to do is to simply walk away from the bully. You can also remain where you are and ignore her. Alternatively, you can stand up for yourself by calmly telling the bully that you are not interested in what she has to say. The most important thing at this point is to keep your cool. You don’t want to react emotionally and run the risk of responding with aggression.  Responding to a bully with humor will often make you a less interesting target for her. Humorous responses often results in the bully losing interest, which means that she may stop targeting you. Be sure that you keep yourself safe. Not responding aggressively does not mean that you should allow yourself to be in an unsafe situation. If you are being physically hurt, it’s okay to protect yourself so that you can remove yourself from that unsafe situation. If a bully is not confronted about her/his behavior, she/he may become more and more aggressive toward you. It’s very important for you to get a trusted adult involved so that things do not escalate.  Be relentless in making the bullying stop. Report each and every incident of bullying until it no longer occurs. Never be ashamed to get help. You’re probably not the only one being bullied but you can help put an end to it. Most of the time adults can find solutions to the problem without letting the bully know that you told on her/him. Some solutions could be changing your classes or changing your seat in class.

Article in English: Bush varieties should be harvested once at the end of the growing season. Pole varieties can be harvested several times throughout the season, but the largest harvest will usually be at the end of the season.  Depending on the variety you chose, kidney beans should be ready to harvest after 90 to 150 days. Pole varieties produce a harvest on a regular basis for one to two months. Adequately mature bean pods will be dry to the touch, and the beans inside the pods will feel very hard. Check the beans of one pod before you harvest the other pods. You can check to see if the beans are done by carefully biting down on one. If your teeth can dent the bean, then the rest should be allowed to dry for a longer period of time before you harvest and shell them. If dropping temperatures or other unfavorable conditions threaten your harvest, you can pull kidney bean plants early and allow the beans to finish drying the rest of the way afterward.  High humidity can also make it difficult to dry the beans on the plant. In this instance, you will need to finish drying them inside, as well. Remove the plants and hang them upside-down by the root for several days or weeks until the pods seem dry and the beans inside are hard. Make sure that most of the foliage has died before you pull the plants. Keep the beans in a warm indoor location with lots of circulating air as you dry them. After you have plucked the pods from your plant, you will need to break them open and pull out the beans hidden inside. If you allowed the plants to mature correctly, the beans should already be hard and dry. You can shell a small harvest by hand, but if you have a larger harvest, you may want to shell them in batches. Place the pods in a pillowcase or similar bag. Carefully step on the pods through the pillowcase to crack them open. When done, sift through the pieces to sort out the beans and leave behind the broken pods. Place the harvested kidney beans in a jar and store them in a dry, dark location until ready to use.  Dried beans can last up to...

Article in English: But don't approach your hater, if you know what they are capable of something drastic or something that can leave you hurt. Or it could leave you in embarrassment. If they are nasty to you or start swearing or being violent, walk away and don’t bother trying to talk to them again until they start being civil. Some people can be given second chances to realize that you aren’t really a bad person and they have nothing to hate you for. But some people just won’t like you in life, so don’t waste your time fretting about why they don’t like you.

Article in English: Buy 100-grit and 320-grit. You can purchase sandpaper in sheets, but rolls might be more convenient. The rolled form will conform to your finger as you sand. This is the tougher grit paper that will remove the stamp. Keep your strip no wider than the width of your index finger. Make the length slightly longer than the pad of your finger (from the tip to the first knuckle). This is to protect the jacket from being sanded in the process. Set it aside in a location where it won’t get damaged. Use your non-dominant hand. Hold the book with the remainder stamp facing you. Try to maintain a firm grasp to keep the book from slipping. Make sure it doesn’t extend beyond the width of the sanding surface. Otherwise, you could damage the book cover. Gently use a back-and-forth motion. Sand until the remainder mark is completely gone. When the ink begins to disappear, lightly sand the rest of the edge to keep the page widths even. Look for any hint of discoloration. If you see any, lightly sand those areas until the discoloration is gone. This will give all 3 page edges an even color. This is the finer texture that will smooth out your pages. Aim for the same length and width you used for the 100-grit. Fit this piece of sandpaper to your finger as you did for the initial sanding. Gently move your finger back and forth. If you only sanded the side with the remainder mark, this is the only side you need to buff. If you sanded 2 or all 3 sides, buff those, as well.

Article in English: Buy a concentrated cleaner made specifically for use on exterior surfaces. These concentrated cleaners are available at any home improvement store. Look for products that say "professional strength concentrate" and include ingredients like acetic acid and sodium o-phenylphenate. Read the instructions carefully. They will tell you how to mix up the cleaning solution for that particular product. Most concentrated exterior cleaners are activated by adding household bleach and hot water.  The bleach activates the solution and also helps to kill micro-organisms like mildew and algae. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when preparing and using the cleaning solution. If you want to avoid bleach, try Borax-based solution instead. Borax is a natural substance that is less toxic than bleach and still effective at killing mold. For this cleaning solution, you'll need three ingredients – hot water, Borax and dish soap. Mix the following amounts in a large bucket:  2 gallons (7.57 L) of warm to hot water 2 tablespoons (29.5 mL) of dish soap 1/2 cup (118.2 mL) of Borax Pressure washers come with different nozzles that spray with varying amounts of water pressure. Stucco is delicate, so attach a low pressure spray tip nozzle to the pressure washer's hose. Saturate the entire wall with water before you begin applying the cleaning solution. To prevent damage, make sure the water hits the wall at a 45 degree angle.  The nozzle should be held at least 24 inches away from the wall. Apply the water in an even stream.  If you don't own a pressure washer, you can rent one from most home improvement stores for about $75 per day. Fill a single pump sprayer with the cleaning solution. Divide your wall up into workable sections. Use the pump sprayer to squirt the cleaning solution on the first section of the wall. Start at the bottom and work your way up to the top until you've saturated the entire first section of the wall.  Focus on areas with heavy stains. Pump sprayers can be purchased at home and garden stores. They come in...

Article in English: Buy a length of sequin. It should be a matching color to your tunic or fringe. Measure it around your head -- because it stretches a little, it's best to make it a bit smaller rather than a bit bigger.  Cut off the desired length and adhere together with E6000 glue. Pick the desired place on the headband for your embellishment. This could be a flower, feathers, jewels, or whatever suits your fancy. Place some craft glue on your adornment and press firmly into place. You may want to pin it together with clothespins and leave to dry. High heeled Mary Janes (with thick heels) are ideal. If you don't have those, anything that wraps around the ankle (so your shoe doesn't come flying off when doing the Charleston) is good. Stilettos weren't super common back in the day -- they're also not great for dancing in. Only go for stilettos as a last resort and if you're confident you won't trip! Though it's certainly not mandatory, a long string of pearls or feather boa is a fun addition to your already playful outfit. Gloves and a long cigarette holder can help put you in the flapper zone, too! Don't forget your makeup! Depending on the color of your dress, you may be able to pull off bright red lipstick -- don't be shy! You'll be turning heads already, might as well milk it for all it's worth!

Article in English: Buy a simple soil test from your local nursery or garden center and use a sample of soil from your garden or plant container. Follow the test kit instructions to get accurate results. The test will tell you the levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. For example, the test will tell you if there's a surplus of nitrogen, sufficient levels, a deficiency of nitrogen, or if it's completely depleted. Look at your plant leaves for signs of a nitrogen deficiency. The leaves will look yellow or wilted because they don't have enough nitrogen to make chlorophyll. Plants that use a lot of nitrogen and benefit from blood meal include:  Tomatoes Peppers Radishes Onions Squash Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, spinach, brussels sprouts) Lettuce Corn If rabbits, deer, or small garden pests continue to damage your plants, you can spread a little blood meal directly to the area. Keep in mind that if you sprinkle too much, you'll burn the grass or plants.  Blood meal will wash away after a strong rain, so you may need to reapply it occasionally. While blood meal may keep plant-eating pests away, it can attract meat-eaters, such as dogs, raccoons, or possums. Purchase USDA approved blood meal from local nurseries, garden centers, or home improvement stores. If you purchase the blood meal online, avoid buying it from countries that have lax laws on meat production because disease can be spread through the blood meal.  For example, blood meal can't be imported to the U.S. from Europe because of the threat of Mad Cow disease. If you can't find high quality blood meal, consider using alfalfa meal or feather meal instead.
