Article in English: No matter what the conditions are on the slopes, this is a must. You can get a sunburn even if it's cold and overcast. Opt for SPF 15-30, depending on how fair your skin is. Don't forget about your lips! Slather on lip balm with an SPF of at least 15. Make sure that they're designed for skiing. Regular gloves won't give you the protection you need. Ski gloves are thicker and have a rubber lining on the outside for easy grip. If you plan on skiing in a very cold climate and/or harsh terrain, buy gloves with wrist protection and a built-in inner glove. Spend the extra money on high-quality goggles. They'll protect you from snow blindness and help you to navigate cloudy conditions with few shadows. They'll also protect you from flying debris that can get caught in your eyes. When you come back from the slopes, allow your goggles to dry outside their protective case to prevent mold buildup. A gaiter is a felt tube that you slip on your neck. Pull it over your mouth on especially cold days. Always keep the bottom of the gaiter under the collar of your ski jacket. A hat will keep your head warm, but a helmet will protect you from head injuries. Make this a rule for any condition you could be skiing in. Helmets come in basic low-tech varieties or high-tech forms with headphones if you want to listen to music as you ski. For added warmth, wear a form-fitting hat under the helmet.

Article in English: No matter what you believe, it's best for your spiritual well-being and your psychological health to have other people present who are interested in participating. It's not something to fool around with. It's best if you let more experienced communicators and mediums show you the ropes. Wandering into a conversation with evil spirits is something no one wants to experience. Make your intentions known by speaking them aloud and only try to communicate if you're coming from a place of legitimate curiosity and kindness in your heart. Doing a Ouija session as a joke to impress your friends is a good way to attract mean spirits to your house. They might not want to leave. Take some time to center yourself and calm your thoughts any time you hope to communicate. The experience will be much more intense and singular if you can focus on the task at hand and pay attention to your surroundings without distraction. Turn off the spooky music and close the shades, take the cell phone battery out of your phone, and turn off the computer. It's time for other concerns. Never let a conversation hang without making it clear that you are going back to your world and encouraging the spirit to go back to their world. Professional mediums and ghost hunters take this step very seriously, especially if they're in a domestic space and they want to remain safe from poltergeist activity. If you're smart, you'll do the same.

Никогда не пытайтесь общаться с духами в одиночку. Намерения и мысли ваши должны быть чисты. Общаясь с духами, будьте вежливы и спокойны. Прощайтесь должным образом.


Article in English: No matter what your goals are for your wedding, you should start acting on them three to six months before the big day.  Getting into a healthy, stable routine well beforehand will not only produce the best results on your wedding day, but will also make it more likely that you’ll continue making these healthy choices after the big event. Ask yourself what about your general fitness level you want to change or improve.  Perhaps you want to build your endurance to the point that you run a 5K or a half-marathon, or you just want to quit smoking and be able to walk around for a few hours without breathing heavily.  Or, maybe you don’t care so much about endurance and are just interested in strengthening your core.  Whatever your goals, write them down so that you can start making a plan to address them. You might also want to keep a fitness journal to log your activities and accomplishments as the big day gets closer.  This can help you identify any roadblocks you encounter along your personal fitness journey, as well as track your progress and show you how far you’ve come. You shouldn’t think of your body parts as ‘problem areas’ which need to be fixed, but you can identify body parts or health issues you’d like to address before you take your wedding pictures.  For example, you might have an ongoing skin condition like eczema which you’d like to clear up, dry nails you’d like to restore, or weak arms you’d like to tone.  If your wedding dress is off-the shoulder, for instance, you may wish to target your arms and shoulders. Developing your shoulder caps, or deltoids, has the added benefit of making your waist appear smaller and your arms look leaner. If you notice you slouch, work on your posture and try exercises that target your spinal erectors, such as spine extensions. To tone your core, try planks and try working on your transverse abdominis muscles, which act like a natural girdle. For issues such as serious dermatological conditions or malnutrition, you should consult a medical professional before...

Article in English: No matter what you’re doing, people are more inclined to trust and believe you if you act confidently. Be aware of your body language; walk tall with your head held up. Assuming an authoritative stance will make it easier for you to get out class undetected. If you pass someone in the hall during your skip, make sure to look them in the eye. Avoiding their gaze makes you appear suspicious and like you have something to hide (which you do.) Looking them in the eye puts them at ease and makes you appear trustworthy. Wandering the halls or stopping to chat with friends only prolongs your escape and increases your chances of getting caught and sent back to class. Stick to your escape plan and remain focused during the entire execution.

Article in English: No one can leap to the top of Mount Everest in one step. Shrink that daunting mountain into a series of more manageable goals. Write a checklist, then ask yourself what obstacles prevent you from achieving the first box. For instance, if your goal is to become a doctor, one looming obstacle might be getting a college education. After breaking it down, your new first goal becomes filling out a college application form. Overcome your first obstacle by picking up a pen! Once you've listed your obstacles, take a moment to think of alternate paths to your goals. Is there any way to reach your goal while avoiding the obstacles entirely? These shortcuts don't happen often, but it's worth taking the time to brainstorm.  Talk to someone who's already attained the goal you're aiming for. She may be familiar with routes you've never heard of. For example, many companies prefer job candidates from inside the company. Maybe you can get hired at your dream company for a less competitive position, and work your way up the ladder, or transfer to a different department. Put your plan in writing, starting with what you'll do today and ending with achieving your goal. Now recognize that your plan will change. This is just the first stage, which will set your feet on the road. As you learn, grow, and encounter new obstacles, adapt your plan to find the best path forward at each moment. As you work toward your goal, keep a journal or chart of your progress and your setbacks. Set yourself several milestones along the way, and make sure to reward yourself for each one. Find people with similar goals, or encouraging friends. Make yourself accountable by sharing your goals and milestones. Seek advice from people with more experience than you, who may have overcome the exact same obstacles. There are thousands of people who share your career, hobby, bad habit, or relationship struggle. Look for local organizations and online forums where you can talk about your experiences and trade advice. . Even if they aren't the obstacles you are...

Article in English: No one can read your mind, so only you know what you want. Tell your partner, relatives, friends, and coworkers exactly what you need from them. Even if they say no, you can discuss how you feel and work on a compromise.  This is the most important step to stopping your manipulative behavior. Say, “I want you to call me more often,” “I want to change the division of our workload,” or “It hurts my feelings when I’m not invited to girls’ night.” This way the person knows exactly what you want. Although they might not give it to you, it’s a starting point for a healthy compromise. You may want to make plans with someone or may want a favor. In some cases, they may say “no.” Let that be the end of it, rather than trying to make them feel guilty so they’ll do what you want.  Let’s say you want your sister to watch your children so you can go out. If she says “no,” thank her and pursue other arrangements. Don’t say, “Wow, I guess you don’t like spending time with your nieces.” Similarly, you might want your boss to let you take off on a busy work day, but they told you no. Don't cry or say something like, "I should've known you'd say 'no' because I'm the only one here who never gets to take a day off." Manipulative people often have poor boundaries. Allow people to have their own personal space, and respect their life decisions. Similarly, don’t try to change people.  For instance, don’t keep calling someone if they’ve expressed that they need a break. If you're unhappy with your partner's behavior, talk to them and try to seek a compromise. Don't try to manipulate them into being the perfect partner for you. For example, you might want your partner to change the way they dress, but it's manipulative to say, "Wow, you really look homeless today. Doesn't it bother you that none of your coworkers think you look professional?" Instead, let them be who they want to be. Manipulative people take advantage of others, but you can avoid this by giving back. Show your gratitude for the kindness people show you, and give...

Article in English: No part of your dishwasher is more likely to responsible for strange odors than the drain filter. Food particles can collect here, and over time in a warm, moist environment they can become disgusting.  There will probably be a cylindrical, detachable filter through which all of the water drains. In order to access the filter, remove the bottom rack, then twist out the filter. Wash the filter with soap and hot water in your sink. It may be difficult to reach all of the interior sections of it with a rag, so you may want to use a bottle brush. Smells may also come from grime that has accumulated throughout the inside of the dishwasher. You must scrub out the entire unit.  Remove all racks from the inside of the dishwasher. These will only get in your way when washing the interior of the dishwasher. Use a rag or brush and hot soapy water to scrub out the interior of the dishwasher. If grime has accumulated and is not easy to remove, consider also using some kitchen-safe household cleaners to help you scrub it out. The seals of the dishwasher door can also accumulate moisture and grime and must be washed. Though they are the unlikeliest cause of smell, you should make sure to rule out all of the simplest possibilities before you invest too much time and energy in the problem.

Article in English: No, literally—read your work out loud and listen to how your character sounds. Pay attention to the dialogue and how it flows, and listen to your character descriptions. Hearing your own writing out loud can show you where you maybe need to add more detail or even take away some repetitive writing. There are also some software programs that will read your documents to you. Check out your writing program to see if it comes with that function. As you write, you may find that a minor character plays a bigger role than you thought they would, or maybe someone you thought was going to be a major character ends up being not as important. Use your character profiles to track these changes and work with them rather than trying to force your characters into certain roles. For example, J.K. Rowling had several of the “minor” characters, like Neville Longbottom and Dean Thomas, originally playing much bigger parts in the Harry Potter universe, but she ended up cutting down their roles as the stories developed. Your character needs to be good at what they do, and if you find you’re writing about something you’re only vaguely familiar with yourself, it’s going to make the character flat. For example, if you find yourself writing about a sword fight but your character only knows how to shoot guns, do some research on sword fighting to make your writing and your character more believable. Similar situations can arise when your character has to travel to a different place or needs a skill that you don’t actually have experience with, like fly-fishing or picking locks. A lot of fiction writers believe that their characters lead the story and sometimes things can change drastically from the beginning to the end of a project. Maybe you find that your main character needs to be a different gender (or not gendered) at all. Or perhaps you thought your story would take place in a certain time period or world but the writing leads you to discover something else. A helpful way to not feel like you’re losing all the work you’ve done...

Article in English: Nobody is perfect, after all. Mistakes are a part of life, and you will continue making mistakes regardless of what you do or don't do. The sooner you embrace the fact that you are imperfect, the quicker you can begin acting in spite of that fact. It can be far too easy to focus on all the negative things in life. Instead of thinking about everything that's wrong, though, take a good look at everything that's right and good. Life is often better than one might perceive it to be.  Think about the things you are fortunate to have and be grateful for them. Instead of bemoaning the fact that you can't afford to take an exciting vacation or buy an impressive car, think about the support you get from family and friends or the simple pleasures you can enjoy in your own neighborhood. You should even acknowledge the good in things you plan to give up. For instance, you might give up a career that you felt miserable in, but that career did provide you with a comfortable life. That, in itself, is something to be glad for. Learn from your past, appreciate your present, and focus on your future. Thinking ahead to the life you want to have will give you something to pursue, and having something to pursue will make it easier to walk forward.  In the midst of focusing on the future, you also need to make sure that you do not spend too much time worrying about it. Plan out what you can and form dreams, but don't sweat the little details. You can't control or predict everything, anyway. Concentrate on one definite goal and aim high. A definite goal gives you something to aim for. Having too many goals can scatter your energy in too many different directions, though. Since you are only focusing on one goal at a time, it is even more important to set goals that challenge you and make the most out of your capabilities. Be confident and be brave. Think about who you want to be, and reassure yourself that you already possess the basic qualifications you'll need in order to become that person. By thinking "as if" you are already the...

Article in English: Not all birds can or will talk, so the first thing you should do is find out more about your bird. There isn't much point trying to teach a bird to talk if it's just going to whistle back at you. Some of the bird species that can learn to speak include:  Budgerigar Monk Parakeet Amazonian Parrots Indian Ringneck Quaker Parrot Eclectus Hill Myna African Grey Cockatiel Cockatoo Blue Gold Macaw Birds that are capable of speech are social animals. It is very important to develop a relationship by speaking to them often, so that it trusts you and grows accustomed to your voice. It is recommended to spend as much time as possible with the bird the first few months, speaking to it in gentle tones. Make sure to play with your bird often, every day. These birds in the wild have many interactions each day, and they engage with lots of stimuli. Evolved for group life, these birds like to be well-socialized. Spending lots of time with your bird will help ensure you foster a good relationship. Like training any animal, talking birds need short, frequent and regular training sessions. Make sure you build a plan such that you are able to give your bird the time and attention it needs in order to maximize its learning potential.  Make a schedule. Limit training sessions to five minutes, two to five times a day.  Plan to work with your bird many times a day.

Article in English: Not all gene combinations are as simple as the basic monohybrid (one-gene) cross from the section above. Some phenotypes are determined by more than one gene. In these cases, you must account for every possible combination, which means drawing a bigger grid.  The basic rule for Punnett squares when it comes to more than one gene is this: double each side of the grid for each gene beyond the first. In other words, since a one-gene grid is 2x2, a two-gene grid is 4x4, a three-gene grid is 8x8, and so on. To make these concepts easier to understand, let's follow along with a two-gene example problem. This means we should draw a 4x4 grid. The concepts in this section hold true for three or more genes as well — these problems just require larger grids and more work. Next, find the genes that both parents have for the characteristic you're examining. Since you're dealing with multiple genes, each parent's genotype will have an additional two letters for each gene beyond the first — in other words, four letters for two genes, six letters for three genes, and so on. It can be helpful to write the mother's genotype above the top of the grid and the father's to the left (or vice versa) as a visual reminder. Let's use a classic example problem to illustrate these conflicts. A pea plant can have peas that are either smooth or wrinkled and yellow or green. Smooth and yellow are the dominant traits. In this case, use S and s to represent dominant and recessive genes for smoothness and Y and y for yellowness. Let's say that the mother in this case has an SsYy genotype and the father has an SsYY genotype. Now, above the top row of squares in the grid and to the left of the leftmost column, write the different alleles that can potentially be contributed by each parent. As when dealing with one gene, each allele is equally likely to be passed on. However, since you are looking at multiple genes, each row and column will get multiple letters: two letters for two genes, three letters for three genes, and so on.  In our example,...

Article in English: Not all materials can be spot-cleaned. The following materials must be professionally dry-cleaned: wool, velvet, silk, and upholstery. If the stain is in an obvious area, consider doing a spot test in an inconspicuous area first. You can do this simply by soaking a cotton ball with water, and lightly dabbing it on the pillow. If the color bleeds, take the pillow to a dry-cleaner. If the color does not bleed, you can spot clean it. Pour some warm water into a bowl, and add a few drops of mild dish soap. Agitate the water until it becomes sudsy, then dip a cloth into the water. Use the dampened cloth to blot up any stains. Blot up any soap residue using a clean cloth dampened with fresh, non-soapy, water. Let the damp area air dry before you put the pillow cover back on. If your pillow is made out of leather, consider using a leather conditioner afterwards. Make sure that you are using a leather conditioner intended for upholstery leather and not saddle leather. Brush the entire piece using a soft-bristled brush to loosen dirt. Always go with the grain stead of against. A suede brush would be ideal, but a clean toothbrush or manicure brush might also work. If the stain remains, follow up with any of the following options:  Try white vinegar on stains. Dampen the brush with vinegar first, then go over the stain. Don't worry, the smell will go away. Use suede cleaner on tough stains. Consider doing a spot test first, in case of discoloration. Sprinkle cornstarch/cornflour over oily stains, wait overnight, then vacuum the next morning. Use a soft-bristled brush to comb out any residue cornflour/cornstarch. Use water with care. Some stains must be cleaned out with water. Dampen the brush first, then go over the stain--and the rest of the pillow. This will help conceal any potential discoloration. Read the care tag on your pillow and try to notice if there is a letter code on it. Choose one of the cleaning methods from the list below, based on the letter code. If the microfiber turns hard after you clean it, simply...

Article in English: Not all sore throats are caused by strep, but a sore throat is the most common symptom of strep. Be mindful of throat pain and difficulty or pain when swallowing. The effects of strep are often visible in the tonsils in the back of your child's throat. They may become red and swollen and might even develop white patches or show signs of pus. Strep throat is also known to cause fatigue, stomachache, vomiting, headache, and fever. Strep throat can also cause swollen lymph nodes: large protruding bumps in the neck, usually in the front. You normally shouldn’t be able to feel your lymph nodes. If they have grown to the point where you can feel them, it is likely that you have an infection. They might also be tender and reddish in color. Be similarly mindful if your child's sore throat is accompanied by swollen lymph nodes or if he or she develops a fever higher than 101 °F (38.3 °C).

Article in English: Not every broker will allow you to use this strategy. Likewise, not all types of accounts will permit a trailing stop loss order. Be sure to check if your broker allows this type of transaction. It is highly recommended that you have the option to use this order. It is helpful to understand the historical volatility and price movements of your stock. This will give you an idea of how much the stock moves up or down in a given period of time. Use this to determine a reasonable trail value that balances between triggering a premature sale and leaving too much profit on the table. You can place a trailing stop loss order anytime. You can do this immediately after the initial purchase. You can also track your stock and decide to put in the trailing stop loss order later on. As noted, a trailing stop loss can be created in one of two ways. You can either use a fixed price or a relative one based on a percentage.  For example, you can determine either a strict dollar amount (e.g., $10) for the trail or a percentage of the stock’s value (e.g., 5%). In either case, the “trail” is related to the value of the stock. This trail changes over time as the price of the stock changes. By using the fixed-dollar option, you limit to a strict dollar value the amount the stock can go down from its highest point before a sell order is automatically placed. Dollar amounts cannot have more than two decimal places (in other words, no tenths of a cent.)  By using a percentage approach, you can define the appropriate range to allow the stock to go up and down while in a generally rising trend. Percentages used must be between 1% and 30% of the current price.  Know the risk. The risk with any stop loss is that the stock may dip below the sell point and trigger a sale. Then the stock may reverse and go  back up, leaving you behind without the newly accrued profit. Figure out how much you’d like your trailing stop loss to be. Talk with your broker to determine an appropriate dollar amount or percentage for your trailing stop loss order. ...

Article in English: Not every workplace will allow this suggestion, so it's for the more enlightened or creative place (in which case, you might have an open-space desk rather than a cubicle) but if you can, the addition of some fish in a tank can help improve your mood and create a sense of a sanctuary. However, this is not for the person who doesn't want responsibilities––you'll need to feed the fish daily (and rig up something for the weekends) and clean the tank or bowl weekly, as well as make arrangements for when you're away (are your coworkers up to it?). If you can't have fish, then try sneaking your cat in to work now and then! Images of animals can help turn a cold cubicle into a sanctuary. Use images from your own photo collection, from old calendars (or hang a current calendar up with animal photos), and from print-offs from the internet.

Summary in Russian:

Возьмите с собой домашнего питомца.


Article in English: Not everyone has a hair type that is conducive to frequent brushing, but if you do, it is important to brush your hair a few times throughout the day to keep it from getting tangled. This will ensure silky smooth hair for the majority of the day.  After showering, it is best to comb hair instead of brushing. Brushing wet hair can cause breakage because wet hair is more fragile than dry hair. Combs are easier on the hair while also being effective in removing tangles. It is important to keep brushes clean by removing accumulated hair in the bristles. To clean your brush, simply remove the hair within the bristles along with any leftover product, and scrub the brush with either a mixture of baking soda and water, or a small amount of shampoo and water. Excessive heat (from blow dryers, flat irons, curling irons, rollers, etc.) can damage hair and cause breakage and dryness. Try using heated tools every other day rather than daily. Use a heat protecting spray or treatment when using hot hair tools. These protective treatments will help add and maintain moisture to your hair while acting as a barrier to the damaging heat. Be sure to pay special attention to the ends of your hair, which tend to receive most direct heat. Drying your hair with a towel can help save time and energy wasted by blow drying hair that is dripping wet. Also, allowing your hair to dry naturally before you start blow drying can also keep your hair from being exposed to additional and unnecessary heat. Again, applying heat can be very damaging to hair, so use the medium to low settings for drying and styling. The air used to dry your hair should be at a temperature where you can comfortable blow air into the back of your hand and it doesn't cause discomfort. Blow dry your hair from a distance of about 2-3 inches. This lessens the direct contact with the heat on your hair and helps to ensure that you aren't scorching your scalp or hair. Also, point the dryer down onto your hair instead of pointing it directly on the side of your head. This...

Article in English: Not getting what you want should also be a trigger that perhaps your goal is achievable, but there might be something wrong with your method. Be honest with yourself and think objectively of whether there is something you could do that you haven’t done yet. Thinking about the whole process and retracing your steps from the beginning can help you see what mistakes you might have made, and which alternative paths you could have taken. You should be prepared to reconsider your strategies and change your course of action. Sometimes you can become fixated with a particular way to get what you want and fail to see this is not producing the expected results. Being flexible and objective will help you achieve your goals faster and remember that what is really important is the final objective, rather than how you achieve it.  For example, if spending 16 hours a day sending resumes hasn’t helped you find a job, perhaps there’s some better way to invest your time, like networking. When you’ve been waiting for a long time, it’s always good to think back on why you wanted what you want in the first place. Sometimes you might want something so hard that the energy you’ve put into wanting it made you lose track of your larger goals. Ask yourself whether getting what you want has become a matter of principle. If this is the case, you should reconsider your ambitions and focus on the reasons behind them rather than the object itself. Perhaps not getting what you want is a sign that this is out of your reach. Although it may be difficult to re-evaluate your ambitions, desiring something you’ll never get will only make you frustrated and ultimately dissatisfied with yourself. This doesn’t mean you should revolutionize your life. For example, even if the job of your life is impossible for you to get, there might be other jobs that are close enough and just as rewarding. You might think happiness is a measurable asset like wealth or fame: the more money you have, the richer you are, the more people know you, the more famous you...

Article in English: Not having a best friend does not mean you are somehow inadequate or less than anyone else. High school is a stage in your life--and really a brief one at that--and does not last forever.  When a negative thought pops into your head, counter it with a more positive thought. For example, if you find yourself thinking, “I can’t believe that I don’t have a best friend,” counter that with “I’m glad I’ll get the opportunity to make new good friends in the future.” Keep a positivity journal. When you’re feeling low, write down all the things you are thankful for. Tack up positive quotes in places where you can see them. For example, you could use a dry erase marker to write an uplifting quote on your bathroom mirror so that you see it every day. If you find yourself being a loner or have negative thoughts that interfere with your day-to-day life, seek professional help. Too much social media can cause you to compare yourself unfavorably to others and this may lead to you feeling worse about your own life. It can also lead to anxiety and depression.  Also use your social media time wisely, to connect with people positively rather than get sucked into flame wars, one-upping others, and other negative social interactions.   Remember that many people only post on social media when they are feeling their best and the highlights of their life. The reality of even the most popular kids might be very different than what they show online. Indeed, sometimes the reality is very different than what they portray in real life. Give yourself daily time limits for looking at sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr. You can even download an app like Self Control to make sure that you do not linger on those sites after your time limit.  Post positive things about yourself. You do not have to be surrounded by friends to post things about yourself you are proud of, things that inspire you, funny cat videos, or whatever makes you feel good. Online friends can be real friends. Online friendships are different than ones in...

Article in English: Not so heavy that you have no more knuckles after your workout, but not so light that you blast the bag away with your first strike. It's one of those "Goldilocks And The Three Bears” situations: not too much, not too little, just right. Use the tips outlined above about how to improve your technique, and practice them on the punching bag. Remember to really put your hips into each punch. Don't use dumbbells that are challenging for you to lift. Start with 5 or 10 lbs., or perhaps 15 lbs. if you lift weights regularly.

Article in English: Not too hard, but firm enough that it distracts the itching for a while. The addition of strong chickweed tea, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of apple cider vinegar, or 2 cups (280 g) ground oatmeal to the bath can help to alleviate itching.  You can even add a few essential oils to that to make the bath not only smell better but to clean the spot and also to soothe the skin. Make sure the water isn't too hot, and don't stay in the water longer than 20 minutes, as this can have a drying effect. You should leave this on the affected area for about 20 minutes to alleviate the itch. Let a metal spoon sit in steaming hot water for a minute. Remove the spoon from the water, let it cool for 5 to 10 seconds, and press it onto your mosquito bite. Hold it there for 10 to 30 seconds. Repeat a couple of times while the water is still hot, and do this several times daily until your bite is healed.

Article in English: Note any details on your boots, such as studs or beaded trim. Choose accessories, such as belts or jewelry, that match these details. If your boots are plain, look at the style of your dress instead.  If you are wearing simple, leather boots and a boho styled dress, try adding a wide, leather belt, some feather earrings, and a rustic necklace made from natural stones. If you are wearing a simple dress with leather, studded boots, try adding a matching, studded leather belt, and some silver jewelry. Leather ankle boots, a  sleeveless tribal patterned midi, a long necklace, and a fedora all look fabulous for a boho look. Something as simple as a matching jacket can make a flirty, girlish outfit look more formal and business like. For example, a fit and flare dress with slender-heeled booties will give you a flirty and girlish look. Adding a jacket and/or belt over the dress will immediately give you a more businesslike  look. If your boots already have a lot of zippers, studs, or straps, you might want to keep the rest of your outfit looking simple. This also includes your dress. Instead, try a simple belt, scarf, or a pair of stud earrings. If your accessories and dress are too detailed as well, your entire outfit will look too busy. A simple dress and boots are like a blank canvas. Try adding some longer earrings and a statement necklace. You can also play around with other accessories, such as a belt, bag, and hat or scarf. Try not to go overboard with your accessories however; if you add too many, your outfit will appear too cluttered. Black tights and black booties are great for making your legs appear longer, but they won't make your outfit look very interesting. Patterned tights, however, will. Make sure that your patterned tights match your outfit somehow. For example, if your dress has roses on it, try tights made from lace with a rose design. If your boots have a chevron print on the cuff, try tights with a chevron weave. For a more boho look, try a wide, leather belt over a flowing dress made from...

Article in English: Nothing else will train you to really move and push your body through the environment than working with it from the get-go. Do the following routine 2 times each workout session. If you can't do it all, do what you can. Aim for improvement above all else. If you can do it all, consistently increase your number of reps and/or sessions bit by bit. Remember to take a day or two off every week to give your muscles time to rebuild.  10 squats (building up to plyometric box jumps) 10 push-ups 10 leg lifts on your back with both legs 10 pull-ups frequently. You should run at least 7-10 miles (11-16 km) per week. Running is a big part of parkour, and you should be able to run long distances, as well as sprint fast. Other cardio exercises that are helpful to do are lacrosse, boxing and swimming. Yoga will tone up your muscles, too. Strength is another important aspect of parkour. You can't just hang on the wall; you have to somehow climb over it. Work with the routine described above and combine with weight training for optimal results. Do not become obsessed with how much weight you can lift. Perfect form and endurance (number of reps) are much more important. After all, you'll be working with the weight of your body, not lifting cars. Parkour can be a dangerous sport if you are not conditioned, so be sure to stretch properly beforehand. If you do not warm up before you stretch, you could lose up to 30% of your muscle's possible strength and power. What's more, make sure you stretch to prevent injury or strain. Don't miss any part of your body. Parkour may seem like it uses mostly legs, but your arms, neck, back, and shoulders are equally important. If you have an injury, you should not be stretching without a physical therapist (or doing parkour in the first place). The high carb diet is the most efficient, and non calorie restrictive diet, that will provide the highest energy levels for intense sports like parkour. Raw till 4 is the most popular high carb, low fat diet, and one of the best. Whole and unprocessed...

Article in English: Notice if he has been making long phone calls at strange times of night or receiving text messages from other girls. He may also have new phone etiquette where he needs privacy or space when talking to someone, he hangs up as soon as you walk into the room or he brushes you off when you ask him who he is talking to on the phone.  If you can get your hands on his cell phone bill (on paper or online), you can look at every call made for that month, which will give you a chance to check for any long conversations at odd times, or lots of calls to one particular number that you don't recognize. You can also try to check his phone messages and voicemail, though this may be an easy way to get caught snooping around. A good time to check his phone is when he is in the shower or out for a walk and has placed it on the charger.  If your boyfriend tends to misplace his phone, another thing you can do is simply take it and let him assume he lost it. This way you can see who is calling or texting him on a daily basis. Be wary if his computer activity becomes sneaky or secret and if he gets defensive or distant if you use his computer or ask to see what he is looking at on his screen.  This may be a sign he is trying to limit your access to his computer and hiding something on his hard drive or browser history. Try to get access to the computer when he is out and check the hard drive for hidden folders with images of other girls or partners, as well as love notes. See How to Find Hidden Files and Folders in Windows for how to do this. This could be his email, Facebook, Instagram, and instant messaging accounts. Many times, cheaters use the Internet to carry on their sneaky business, especially if they are worried about you checking their phone or monitoring their calls.  Some cheating partners may be using cheating websites like meet2cheat or ihookup. Search the computer's browser history to see if he has visited any of these cheating sites. Some cheaters may also create different Facebook profiles to then find other...

Article in English: Notice that you will only use fingers 1, 3 and 5 (thumb, middle, pinkie) to play the three notes of each chord.  Your index and ring fingers may rest on, but not press down any keys. Notice that your fingers advance one half-step (one key) up the keyboard each time you change chords. The three notes will be C, E, G. Remember, C = tonic (0), E = major third (4 semi-tones), G = fifth (7 semi-tones).   Right hand fingering will place your thumb on C, your middle finger on E and your pinkie on G.     Left hand fingering will place  your pinkie on C, your middle finger on E and your thumb on G.    The three notes will be Db, F, Ab. Remember, Db = tonic (0), F = major third (4 semi-tones), Ab = fifth (7 semi-tones). The enharmonic equivalent of this chord is C# Major.  Notice that Db could also be noted as C#.  F can also be written in music as E#.  Ab can also be written as G#.  The notes you play will be the same whether it is written as Db Major or C# Major.  Right hand fingering will place your thumb on Db, your middle finger on F and your pinkie on Ab.     Left hand fingering will place your pinkie on Db, your middle finger on F and your thumb on Ab.    The three notes will be D, F#, A. Remember, D = tonic (0), F# = major third (4 semi-tones), A = fifth (7 semi-tones).  Right hand fingering will place your thumb on D, your middle finger on F# and your pinkie on A.      Left hand fingering will place your pinkie on D, your middle finger on F# and your thumb on A.    The three notes will be Eb, G, Bb. Remember, Eb = tonic (0), G = major third (4 semi-tones), Bb = fifth (7 semi-tones).  Right hand fingering will place your thumb on Eb, your middle finger on G and your pinkie on Bb.     Left hand fingering will place your pinkie on Eb, your middle finger on G and your thumb on Bb.    The three notes will be E, G#, B. Remember, E = tonic (0), G# = major third (4 semi-tones), B = fifth (7 semi-tones).

Article in English: Notice when you feel good, and feel good about that. The more you dwell in your positivity, the happier and more resilient you will feel. Rather than trying to force happiness to appear, cultivate in yourself a sense of wellbeing, strength, and connectedness. Affirm the positive thoughts that come to you. Say them out loud or write them down to increase their resonance. "The sunshine feels good on my skin."  "I'm proud of myself for doing the dishes."  At the end of the day, review the things that you enjoyed. List three things that brought you pleasure. Positive emotion helps you repair from trauma and hardship, and builds resilience for hard times to come. We humans are famously bad at guessing the things that make us happy. Pursuit of power, wealth, and fame rarely pay off in personal satisfaction. Stress can induce us to replace our pleasures with coping mechanisms. Time in which you are being entertained or praised will not necessarily be your happiest time. Before you set your goals, spend some time tracking your joy.  Try keeping a diary during an ordinary week, and checking in with yourself a few times a day. What activities bring on contentment? What do they have in common?  Notice where you are when you are happy, and what your body is doing. Are you outside? In motion? Are you alone, or in company? What time of day is it? Once you have identified some of the things that bring you contentment, ask yourself what they have in common. What kind of activities can you really sink into? When do you feel like you are doing your best work, or being your best self? Set goals that will help you achieve greater engagement during your daily activities.  For example, if you felt happiest while walking your dog, waiting for the bus, and watering the lawn, your goal might be to spend more time outside. If you felt happiest helping out a colleague at work and making dinner with your partner, your new goal might be to find another activity in which you are helping others. Focus on gaining experiences rather than...

Article in English: Novellas work best if they are centered on one theme or idea. Choose a theme like “love,” “identity,” or “loss” and explore it in more detail in the novella. Find a theme or idea that you feel you have a lot to write about and use it as inspiration. For example, you may write a novella about loss by having a main character who deals with loss in their life. A good novella will have one main character who acts as a guide for the reader. The main character should be feel like a specific person to the reader, someone they get to know on a personal, intimate level. Many novellas are written in the first person, from the perspective of the main character. You can also try using the third person, with the main focus of the novella on the main character. Pick a setting that you know well or have a lot to write about. Use the setting as inspiration for the novella. For example, you may choose a WWII army base as the setting for the novella. Or you may choose your hometown as the setting. To get a better sense of the genre, read examples of the novella that are considered successful. You may read:   The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka  Beside the Sea by Veronique Olmi  No One Writes to the Colonel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez  The Lifecycle of Software Objects by Ted Chiang

Article in English: Now that the arteries have been cleaned, you need to clean the inside of the organs before bacteria and gas builds up and excess fluids purge from the nose or mouth. Insert the trocar 2 inches (5.1 cm) to the right and 2 inches (5.1 cm) superior to the umbilicus. Clean out the hollow organs such as the stomach, pancreas, and small intestine. Remove the trocar, turn it around, and insert it into the lower body, aspirating the contents of the large intestine, bladder, and in the case of females, the uterus. The anus and vagina are sometimes packed with cotton to avoid seepage. Cavity fluid is usually 30% formaldehyde, and the gravity injection method is typically used to push the cavity fluid into the hollow organs, sterilizing and preserving them. Make sure you get both the upper and lower organs. This step is crucial in preventing "purge." Clean out your trocar and put it away.

Article in English: Now that we're past the abstract, master-your-own-mind stuff, onto the meat and potatoes of it all. If you want to be a social ninja, reading people is imperative. There a dozen cues you can find at anytime to know how to act around a person. When you can spot 'em, the whole process of socializing gets a lot easier. Don't only read their body language, tone, and visual cues, but take in how they interact with others. Do they have a large personal bubble? Do they value humor and joking around or are they more quiet and intellectual? If you can emulate it, do so. Fitting into every social circle is just a matter of interacting how the group expects. For different groups, there may be different expectations for body language and eye contact. But for most humans, there are good rules of thumb: be open and make eye contact most of the time. You want to appear confident and relaxed, not stressed out and menacing. In some circles, though not all, flirting is an integral part of being a social butterfly. Everyone likes being flirted with and it's a simple way to establish a bond. When someone touches us, we automatically feel closer to them. If you want to work your way in, start flirting! You probably have your friends and odds are they're all a little similar. To be that butterfly, you'll need to branch out! You'll gain new skills, meet new people, and learn to interact with others that aren't as like you. So instead of being in a play, work backstage. Instead of swimming, take a scuba course. Instead of playing chess, join the cricket team. Just a little out of your comfort zone for starters!  If it intrigues you, consider taking an acting class. Being forced to play a role and getting used to that feeling makes it a lot easier to fake being a social butterfly. There will be times when you don't feel like being social, but you can find a character within you who does. And if you fake it for long enough, it eventually becomes habit! Most people are totally tuned out to the world. It's how "stop and smell the roses"...

Article in English: Now that you know how the trick works, use it to catch other Pokémon. Fighting the Youngster will always result in a Mew encounter because his Slowpoke has a Special of 21 (15 in hex). But if you fight something else before returning to Route 8, it will change which Pokémon you encounter. For example, say you chose a starting Pokémon other than Bulbasaur and regret your decision. Bulbasaur's hex number is 99, which converts to 153 in decimal. Now, you could fight a wild Pokémon with a Special of 153, but the only place to find that is on a Level 64 Chansey in the Unknown Dungeon, and those Chansey are quite rare. Worse, they only have a one-in-sixteen chance of having the right Special. Fortunately, there is a solution: Ditto's Transform, which copies the stats of the opponent. This means that you can catch any Pokémon in the game by following the steps set forth in this section. You can find a complete list of which decimal value is needed for each Pokémon at the bottom of the page. Fly away from the Gambler battle.     This is important because there are a few Pokémon, such as Kangaskhan, whose identifying value is lower than the minimum Special that any Pokémon can have. In Kangaskhan's case, you can find her by using a Special of 258 (2 + 256). Also note that when you perform this trick, any trainers you fight after the Gambler will be "used up."  Make sure you have enough unused trainers to catch all the Pokémon you want!  Fortunately, the Gambler can be used to initiate the trick an unlimited number of times.

Summary in Russian:

Улучшите ваше мастерство ловли. Поймайте или прокачайте Покемонов с подходящим навыком Special (Для Bulbasaur  он равен 153). Улетайте, избегая битвы с Гамблером. Вступайте в бой  с любым тренером, который может увидеть вас издалека и подойти к вам (это необходимо, чтобы разблокировать кнопку Старт и попасть в битву на дороге Route 8). Найти дикого Ditto и позвольте ему применить Transform к вашему Покемону с подходящим Special. Одержите победу над Ditto (или просто сбегите) и сразу же летите в Lavender, по пути не вступая ни с кем в поединок. Двигайтесь на Route 8, где и появится Bulbasaur (или кто-то другой). Обратите внимание, что поскольку из двух навыков Special принимается во внимание только меньший, вы можете довести его до величины выше 256 и использовать именно его, чтобы получить такого же Покемона.


Article in English: Now that you're feeling beautiful on the inside, it's time to show off your looks through the right clothes and makeup. You don't need to go on a shopping spree, but you should find the look that will help you snag a man.  Find clothes that emphasize your best attributes. If you have toned arms, go for a tank top, or if you want to show off your long legs, find the perfect dress and heels for your body. Make yourself look a little fun but do not always focus on that; focus on in the inside too! Dress appropriately for the occasion. If you're hoping to attract a man at a wedding, for example, look classy--not trashy. You don't want a man to think that your body is your best feature--it's just one of the things that makes you unique. However, if you're out at a club, avoid business-casual attire, which will make you stick out like a sore thumb. If you are going to a a party, than sure! Go show off those pretty legs of yours, or your nice arms, but don't get too skimpy and inappropriate; watch what you wear.  Have the right hair and makeup. Light hair and makeup maintenance can go a long way in emphasizing your best features. Most men prefer a natural look, so avoid trying too hard by applying too many layers of makeup or hairspray. Well, if you ask me it would be best to not where make-up, and show your natural beauty, but if you would like to put on a bit, then be my guest! But too much can make you look like you're trying too hard. That new dress or new found self-confidence won't have much of an effect on the man of your dreams if you haven't showered in a week. It's important to stay clean and smell nice. I would wear some deodorant, or the slightest spritz of perfume! But not to much because some people react very poorly to it, and who knows what could happen?  Shower at least every other day, and definitely on the day of a special occasion. It's important for your body to smell fresh. And you never know what could happen! Wash your hair as often as you need to. Some women wash their hair every day, while...

Article in English: Now that you've thoroughly studied the movie, what unique insights can you bring to the table? Come up with a thesis, a central idea to discuss and back up with your observations on the various elements of the film. Your thesis should be discussed in the first paragraph of your review. Having a thesis will take your review beyond the plot summary stage and into the realm of film criticism, which is rightfully its own art form. Ask yourself the following questions to come up with a compelling thesis for your review:  Does the film reflect on a current event or contemporary issue? It could be the director's way of engaging in a bigger conversation. Look for ways to relate the content of the film to the "real" world. Does the film seem to have a message, or does it attempt to elicit a specific response or emotion from the audience? You could discuss whether or not it achieves its own goals. Does the film connect with you on a personal level? You could write a review stemming from your own feelings and weave in some personal stories to make it interesting for your readers. It's good to give readers an idea of what they'll be in for if they decide to see the movie you're reviewing. Give a brief summary of the plot in which you identify the main characters, describe the setting, and give a sense of the central conflict or point of the movie. Never break the number one rule of movie reviews: don't give too much away. Don't ruin the movie for your readers!  When you name characters in your plot summary, list the actors' names directly afterward in parenthesis. Find a place to mention the director's name and the full movie title. If you feel you must discuss information that might "spoil" things for readers, warn them first. Write several paragraphs discussing interesting elements of the movie that support your thesis. Discuss the acting, the direction, the cinematography, the setting, and so on, using clear, entertaining prose that keeps your readers engaged.  Keep your writing clear and easy to understand.

Lay the dogs on the grill perpendicular to the grate. This will give them nice char lines that enhance the flavor.     Make sure they're well-spaced. You need room to roll those puppies around on the grill.    Every minute or two, roll the dogs about a quarter turn so that you cook all sides evenly. Thicker dogs will take a little longer to heat up on the inside.

Article in English: Now that you’re at the end of the scene makeup routine, you’ll want to step back from the mirror and take a look at your face as a whole. It’s easy to get distracted by one particular thing when you are focused on applying makeup to different parts of your face, but the important thing is the final, overall look. If the color is uneven, lightly apply a little more eyeshadow to the eyelid that needs a color boost. Step back from the mirror and check again before adding any more. You probably only need a tiny bit to even them up. If you find that your eyeliner is thinner on one eye than it is on the other, lightly add a bit more until they are evenly matched. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but it needs to be as close as you can get. You want to make sure there is no visible line around the edges of your face left by the foundation, because that would look very unnatural. If you do notice a line, take a sponge applicator and dab at it until it looks evenly blended. Most scene makeup involves a pale mouth, so avoid dark lipstick completely. It’s the eyes that you really want to emphasize with color. Apply a plain lip balm or a light berry-colored gloss to your lips as the final step.

Article in English: Number lines turn basic math into something real and physical that you can see in front of you. By just using a few marks and some common sense, we can use them like calculators to add and subtract numbers. Imagine or draw a straight, flat line. Make a mark near the middle of your line. Write a 0 or zero next to this mark. Your math book might call this point the origin, since it's where numbers originate, or start from. Write -1 next to the mark on the left and 1 next to the mark on the right. These are the integers closest to zero.  Don't worry about making the spacing perfect - as long as you're close enough that you can tell what it's supposed to mean, the number line will work. The left side is the side at the beginning of a sentence. Make more marks to the left of -1 and to the right of 1. Moving left from -1, label the next marks -2, -3, and -4. Moving right from 1, label the next marks 2, 3, and 4. You can keep going if you have space on your paper. The example image shows a number line from -6 to 6. A positive integer, also called a natural number, is an integer larger than zero. 1, 2, 3, 25, 99, and 2007 are all positive integers. A negative integer is an integer less than zero (like -2, -4 and -88). An integer is just another way of saying a "whole number". Fractions like 1/2 (one half) are only part of a number, so they are not integers. Same with a decimal like 0.25 (zero point two five); decimals are not integers. We're going to solve the simple addition problem 1+2 using the number line you just made. The first number in this problem is 1, so start by putting your finger on that number.  Do you think this is too easy? If you've done any addition at all, you probably know the answer to 1+2. That's good: if you know the answer it will be easier to understand how number lines work. Then you can use a number line for more difficult addition problems, or to prepare you for more difficult math like algebra. Slide your finger to the right, counting the number of marks (other numbers) you pass by. Once...

Article in English: Nuts can come whole, with or without shell or in pieces. They can also come roasted, with or without flavors and/or with salt added. By knowing the forms and checking the nutrition labels, you should be able to choose the best for you.  Whole nuts are good for snacking on plain. They tend to stay fresh longer as well. Nuts without the shell are more convenient for eating on the go. Pieces are usually better for cooking. The smaller pieces help reduce cooking time and save you the trouble of having to remove the shell. Roasted nuts are roasted to bring out natural flavors and come without the shell. Roasted nuts generally contain salt and seasoning, so check the label for sodium content. Purchase nuts in bulk if you plan on eating them everyday, plan on sharing them or cooking with them. This is the most cost effective option. They should be stored in a sealed container and in a cool dark place for the longest shelf life. Usually, nuts only last about three weeks when stored properly. Purchase nuts packaged, such as in a canister if you plan on consuming them within three weeks and are not sharing. These are packed for freshness and in a small enough amount that you will be able to consume them all before they go rancid. Purchase portion controlled packs if you are worried about over eating. Portion controlled packs are good for ensuring you only eat what you need. They also stay fresh for longer amounts of time because each pack is opened and consumed in entirety.

Article in English: Objectives are the actions or tactics that you use to achieve your goal. Further breaking down objectives into concrete tasks make it even easier for you to accomplish them and monitor your progress. Use the answers to the questions you asked yourself earlier -- what, where, when, etc. -- to help you identify your objectives.  For example, consider this goal statement: “I want to go to college and ultimately law school so that I can help the underrepresented members of  my community navigate the laws of civil court.” This is a specific goal, but it’s still very complex. You will need to define many objectives in order to achieve this goal. Examples of potential objectives for this goal could be:  Excel in high school classes Participate in debate team Identify undergraduate institutions Apply to undergraduate institutions Some goals are more quickly achievable than others. For example, “Go walking in the park for 1 hour 3 days every week” is something you can start doing immediately. For some goals, you will have to spread your stages across longer periods of time.  In the example of the law school goal, this goal will take several years to accomplish. It requires many stages in the process, each of which can be marked by an objective and tasks within that objective. Be sure to take external deadlines and other conditions into consideration. For example, the objective “Identify undergraduate institutions” must be performed before you can attend college. It will take some time, and many institutions have application deadlines. Thus, you need to make sure that you determine the time frame for this objective appropriately. Once you’ve determined your objectives and your time frame, split the objectives into smaller, concrete tasks. These will be actions you can take toward accomplishing the objective. Set a deadline for each task so that you have a way of keeping yourself on track.  For example, for the first objective in the law school goal, “Excel in high school classes,” you can split this up into several...

Article in English: Obviously, if you don't already have a heater, you may want to consider buying one. Plug-in heating devices, which can usually be found at most department stores, are available in a wide range of sizes and power levels, making them a reasonable solution for any size room (and any budget).  Keep in mind that space heaters tend to use a lot of electricity. While you may be able to make up the difference by turning off your central heating, frequent space heater use can affect your utility bill. Always adhere to the basics of heater safety: don't leave space heaters on unattended (including while you sleep) and don't use space heaters that burn fuel indoors, as these pose a carbon monoxide hazard. Though they were once considered unfashionable, electrical blankets are making a comeback thanks to the comfort (and savings) they provide. The devices can make for an exceptionally comfortable slumber when it's cold in your room. Best of all, they tend to use significantly less energy than other plug-in heaters — one consumer study found that they usually saved about one-half to three-fourths of the energy. For the most comfort, start the electric blanket a few minutes before you get into bed. To save energy, turn it off before you fall asleep. For some, there's nothing quite as comfortable as the feeling of being under a heavy pile of blankets when it's cold. The more layers of blankets you use, the more of your body heat will be trapped in the bed. Additional layers create pockets of "dead heat" — air that has a hard time leaking out into the surrounding cool.  In general, thicker, fluffier materials (like wool, fleece, and down) are warmest. Air gets caught in the tiny spaces in these materials, trapping more heat next to the body. Don't forget that you can even wear blankets around the house — perfect when you don't want to give up the warm comfort of bed just yet. Windows are one of the most frequent sources of heat loss for rooms. To counteract this, try hanging thick, heavy curtains around your window and...

Article in English: Odds are presented as a positive or negative number next to the team's name. A negative number means the team is favored to win, while a positive number indicates that they are the underdog.  Ex: Dallas Cowboys, -135; Seattle Seahawks, +135. This means the Cowboys are the favorites, but pay out less money if a bet on them wins. Try out an online to check your math when you first get started. Soon enough it will be second nature, but for now ask a friend or search for a calculator that fits your betting needs. You also get the money you bet back. So when you bet $100 on the Seahawks, who are valued at +135, then you make $235 if they win.  If you bet $200, you will make twice as much profit. To calculate how much profit you make per dollar spent, divide the amount you are going to spend by 100. Multiply this number by the moneyline to see your potential profit. If I spend $50, I will make .5 (50/100) of the moneyline if I win. On  +135 odds, I would make $67.50 profit off of a winning bet. Ex: If I spend $250 on the Seahawks (+135), I would earn $587.50 ($250 + $135 x [$250/$100]) if they win. When betting on the favorite, you take less risk, and thus earn less. When betting on a favorite, the moneyline is the amount of money you need to spend to make $100 profit. In the previous example, in order to make $100 of profit betting for the Cowboys, you would need to spend $135. Like positive odds, you earn back your bet when winning.  To calculate profit, divide 100 by the moneyline to find out the profit made per dollar spent. If the moneyline is -150, then you will make $.66 for every dollar you bet (100/150). Ex: If the New York Giants are favored to win -150, and I spend $90, I would make $150 total ($90 + $90 x [100/150]).

Summary in Russian:

Помните, что здесь ставки рассматривают только шансы на победу. Положительный коэффициент указывает на то, какую прибыль вы получите на каждые поставленные 100 долларов (также вам выплатят ту сумму, которую вы поставили). Отрицательный коэффициент указывает на то, какую сумму вы должны поставить, чтобы получить 100 долларов.


Article in English: Odds represent which team, horse, or athlete has the highest probability of winning. While there are different ways to write odds, they all indicate how likely one outcome is in comparison to another.  Ex: When I flip a coin, it is just as likely that I flip heads as tails. The odds are equal, or one to one.  Ex: If there is an 80% chance of rain one day, then there is a 20% chance it will not rain as well. The odds are 80 to 20. Otherwise put, it is four times more likely that it will rain than stay sunny. Because circumstances may change spontaneously, odds may change as well. They are not an exact science. The most common use of odds is found when placing a bet on a sporting event. Betting agencies use historical data and team statistics to predict who is more likely to win. Whoever has the highest odds is considered the "favorite." If the odds are low, it means that event is not likely to occur. Betting on the underdog is riskier than betting on a favorite, but a higher risk means a higher potential reward. The "longer the odds," or the less likely, the more money you could win. Many racetracks and betting establishments will have a booklet or pamphlet helping you learn terminology, but you should understand the lingo before you read odds. Some of the basic words include:   Action: A bet or wager of any kind or amount.  Bookie: Someone who accepts bets and sets odds.  Chalk: The favorite.  Hedging: Placing bets on the team with the high odds, and the low odds, to minimize loss.  Line: On any event, the current odds or point spreads on the game.  Wager: The money you pay, or risk, on an outcome or event.

Article in English: Of course, if you are raising brine shrimp purely for pleasure, you do not have to harvest them, but after 8 days, the adults are large enough to catch with a net and feed to other fish. After about 10 minutes, the empty cysts shells will float to the surface, and unhatched cysts will sink to the bottom. Now, you can more easily catch the live brine shrimp. All of the brine shrimp will flock to the light, so they will be easy to catch with the fish net. The smaller brine shrimp will fall through the net, but larger ones won’t. Catch the amount you wish to feed to your other fish. Place them in the tank of the fish you want to feed. Your other fish will get to enjoy the nutritious brine shrimp.

Article in English: Offer your guest(s) a trip to the mall, or simply a walk around the neighborhood. Make the suggestion as "one last thing before you go." Getting the guest out of the house is the biggest step, and afterwards you can simply show them to their car (or have a taxi waiting) rather than inviting them back inside.  If hosting a party, try not to leave anyone behind. The idea is not for some to leave and for one or two to stay behind and raid your pantry. Make sure everyone has their things. If the plan is to have the trip out be out for good, don't allow any excuse to get back inside. Here's where the tactics begin to lose some subtlety. Consider switching from video games to a roaring game of pick-up sticks; or from chatting over drinks to helping you wash your cat. Plenty of guests will opt for the door over something they'd rather not do.  While this is a tactic better suited to partygoers, the house guest who's stayed a day or two over will think more fondly of home or a hotel if they're no longer being entertained. Make sure the door is always an option—don't suggest an alternative with such zeal that guests feel obligated to participate. Look busy, or agitated. If it's the last day of a house guest's stay, act like it. Gather your guest's things and move the conversation from the living room to the doorway.  Consider making their bed or re-fashioning their room as it was before they arrived. Try being appropriately unavailable as the end of their stay approaches; start working or doing things around the house. How subtle you choose to be is at your discretion; it could be anything from "I've got to run" to "My grandmother is in the hospital." Only the worst guest would consider staying in someone's home during a family emergency. Alternatively, you could pretend another guest is coming to take their place. Careful getting caught in a lie—if you can actually manage to have somewhere to be, all the better. But if you say your grandmother's in the hospital, be sure your grandmother is aware, and that your guest...

Article in English: Often times the fear of failure is only a general understanding of what we are truly afraid of.  If this fear of failure is examined, it may be discovered that there are other fears underlying it.  These specific fears can be addressed and worked with, once identified.  Fear of failure is often only a broad level of understanding what the issue is. We may be afraid to fail, but failure is often tied to other ideas such as self-worth or self-image. There are links that trace fear of failure to shame. Examples of more specific fears may include being worried about losing security from a risky investment or being exposed to humiliation from your peers. It can be easy to see something that you interpret as a failure and extend that lack of success to yourself. You may also take a single instance of failure and apply it to your whole life and self. You might think, “I’m a loser” or “I’m worthless at this” because your efforts are not having the results you hope for. While this is common, it is not helpful, and it isn’t true, either. Examine the script in your head about this event. We often allow our thoughts to slip into predictable scripts that aren’t helpful. For example, if you’re working on an invention and the 17th try has just bombed, you might experience this script: “Yep, I’m never going to get this right. I’m a failure.” The facts of the situation are simply that this try hasn’t worked. The facts say nothing about you as a person, or about the possibility of future success. Separate the facts from your script. Some people believe that perfectionism is the same as healthy ambition or standards of excellence, but on the contrary, perfectionism can actually cause failures. Perfectionists are often obsessed with the fear of failure. Often, they categorize anything that does not meet their unreasonably high standards as a “failure.” This can lead to things such as procrastination because you are so worried about your work being imperfect that you can never finish it. Set healthy, ambitious standards for...

Article in English: Often, friendships are built around common interests. If there's something that drew you and your friend together to begin with, going back to this shared interest can help strengthen your bond.  For example, if you and your friend met at a book club, try agreeing to read the same book. You can meet up once a week to discuss the book. Your friend will love having you there to share this experience. You can also pursue shared interests further together. For example, if you and your friend met in college in a Spanish class, consider attending a Spanish club together. You can help build on your language skills as a pair. As time goes by, friendship can sometimes fall to the wayside. School, work, romantic relationships, and other commitments can put a strain on a friendship. However, if you want to be a nice friend, work on prioritizing the friendships in your life.  Realistically, as life gets busier and busier, you will not be able to see your friends every day or even every week. However, make an effort to get together regularly. It can help to have a regular meet up time. For example, you can agree to have dinner together the first Tuesday of every month. One thing to keep in mind is that you should not prioritize someone who does not prioritize you. You do not want to end up in a one-sided friendship. If you are always the one reaching out and making plans with a particular person, you may be better off tapering off contact. You can work on being a good friend to someone who appreciates your presence. Even if time is an issue, you can still find ways to reach out. Many people find they can stay in touch via social media when life gets hectic. You can also make a point of calling a friend to chat once in awhile if you're too busy to go out regularly. People tend to bond when they laugh together. Your friend will enjoy your company more if the two of you are always laughing. Try to make laughter a priority when you hangout.  Watch funny movies together or go to comedy clubs. Make each other laugh. Do not be...

Article in English: Often, it's possible to get so wrapped up in your own writing that it's easy to skip over obvious errors and mistakes. Take a break from writing for at least a few hours. Sometimes leaving your work for a couple of days can be incredibly beneficial as well. Looking at your work with fresh eyes will allow you to see the errors you previously overlooked because you were so involved in the writing that you could only see what you meant to say rather than what you actually said. Problems with grammar can make your paper look sloppy and unprofessional. Here are some of the most common grammar mistakes:  Sentence fragments. Fragments are incomplete phrases that cannot stand alone as a sentence because they are missing either a verb, a noun, or a complete thought. Parallelism. Errors in parallelism occur when words or groups of words do not appear in the same format or structure within a sentence. Subject-verb agreement. Errors with subject-verb agreement happen when an incorrect verb form is used with a particular subject. For example, he know instead of he knows. Formatting quotes properly allows your reader to easily find the information you are referencing. It also adds to your credibility as an author.

Article in English: Often, the best way to know how you can help is to ask your friend what they need. You can also ask specific questions, such as "Do you need a ride to your chemo appointment?" This will let them know that you are willing to do specific tasks, and you're not just making a vague offer. If your friend has children, offer to take them off of their hands once or twice a week. They can get some rest, and you can provide the kids with some fun. Sometimes we take for granted our ability to complete what seem like ordinary, everyday tasks. When your friend is diagnosed with cancer, they might feel overwhelmed by everyday life. Offer to help run simple errands, such as going to the post office or dry cleaners'. Often, our natural instinct is to send food (and lots of it) when someone is sick. Unfortunately, cancer patients often suffer from a loss of appetite. Instead of loading them down with casseroles, ask your friend if you can go grocery shopping for them. Have them provide a list of things that sound good to them. Remember, it's not just your friend who is going through a tough time.Their family is also going through a very emotional situation. Try talking to their spouse, parents, or kids, if appropriate. Let them know that you are there to lean on and offer to help in any way that you can. If your friend is married, you could say something like, "I know you're going through a hard time, too. Let me know if you want me to keep Ann company while you go relax with your friends some evening." A great way to show that you care is by working to find a cure for cancer. There are many great organizations that have regular fundraising events. Look for one in your area and sign up.  Simple ways to show support for friends or family members with cancer include the #NoHairSelfie. One can either physically or virtually shave their head, take a picture, share the image of themselves on social media and raise money for cancer research. In addition to being a symbol of courage for your loved one, sharing your selfie with...

Article in English: Often, when people are labeled "shy," they're actually introverts. Shyness and introversion share some similar traits, but they aren't the same.   Shyness happens when you're afraid or anxious about interacting with others socially. This fear or anxiety can lead you to avoid social situations even when you really want to interact in them. It can often be helped with some behavioral and thought changes.  Introversion is a personality characteristic. It tends to remain fairly stable over time. Introverts don't usually initiate much socializing because they are generally satisfied with a lower level of interaction than extroverts. They don't tend to avoid social situations because of fear or anxiety, but because they simply don't need as much socializing. Research has shown that shyness and introversion aren't strongly correlated. You can be shy but really want to interact with people, or introverted but comfortable hanging out with your closest friends.  You can find a shyness scale and quiz based on this research at Wellesley College's website. Most people fall somewhere between "introvert" and "extrovert." It can even change depending on circumstance. However, if you think your shy guy might actually be an introvert, have a look for some of the following characteristics:  He likes to be alone. In many cases, introverts like to be alone. They don't feel lonely on their own, and they need that alone time to recharge. They aren't anti-social, they just have a lower need to socialize.  He seems to get overstimulated easily. This can apply to social stimulation, but also to physical stimulation! Introverts' biological responses to things like noise, bright lights, and crowds tend to be stronger than those of extroverts. For this reason, they usually try to avoid hyperstimulating environments like nightclubs or carnivals. He hates group projects. Introverts usually would prefer to work on their own, or with just one or two other people. They prefer to work out problems and solutions without outside help.  He likes...

Article in English: Often, you will already know why your parent is shouting at you. If you didn't clean your room, acted in a disrespectful way, or did something wrong, identify the behavior. Sometimes, you genuinely won't know why your parents are shouting, so try asking.  Say, “Can you tell me why you are shouting?” Ask, “What did I do wrong?” Get advice: “How can I change my behavior?” Once you figure out why your parents are shouting at you, before shouting is necessary, change your behavior so your parents approve of it. This is the safest tactic and the most beneficial in the long run. Most parents will appreciate you trying to act differently.  For example, if your parents shout when you don't do your homework, do your homework every day. Clean your room if they are shouting about you being messy. If your parents say you have an attitude, try to be more respectful. If your parents shout about something you really do not want to change, just compromise with them. They might shout about the way you dress, the color you want to paint your bedroom, or even the food you eat. Compromising a little bit can go a long way.  Tell your parents something is important to you: “I really want to paint my walls red because I think the color is beautiful.” Offer a compromise: “Ok, what if I eat healthy for two meals a day instead of only one?” Ask them to meet you in the middle: “I really don't want to wear baggy jeans. Can't I wear tight jeans some of the time?”

Article in English: Oftentimes, headaches that occur during or after flight are due to a sudden change in altitude. The painkiller ibuprofen may effectively prevent altitude-related headaches before they begin.  In a recent study, hikers preparing for a high-altitude journey were given doses of ibuprofen in the 24 hours prior to their journey. A little over 40% of hikers who took ibuprofen developed altitude-related headaches and nausea. In the control group, where hikers did not take ibuprofen, almost 70% experienced headaches, nausea, and other symptoms.  If you're going to be flying, try taking 600 milligrams of ibuprofen sometime during the 24 hours leading up to the flight. Ibuprofen can be purchased at most drug stores and supermarkets and comes under a variety of names, such as Advil or Motrin. Oftentimes, people suffer from headaches in-flight if they regularly suffer from migraines. Changes in altitude, air pressure, and environment in general can be a trigger for a migraine. Take any normal medications you take to control migraines as, for the most part, there are no safety concerns in regards to taking your regular medication while flying. Acetazolamide is a medication primarily used to treat glaucoma, but it’s also sometimes helpful in relieving symptoms of altitude-related sickness. If you believe your headaches are related to changes in altitude, this medication may be a good option for you.  You will need a prescription for acetazolamide. Talk to your doctor about your headaches during flying and ask them if they think the medication would be safe for you. Acetazolamide is prescribed in different doses with different instructions depending on why you're taking it and your medical history. Follow the instructions on your prescription and do not hesitate to ask a doctor or pharmacists if you have any questions.  Acetazolamide can cause nausea, dizziness, and loss of appetite. These are normal side effects that should pass. If you experience more serious side effects, like fever, rash, or blood in your urine, stop...

Article in English: Oftentimes, we feel sadder when we are alone. After your break-up, make a point of visiting your friends and family. Perhaps ask a friend to visit you and bring a funny movie. Alternatively, you could dress up and go to dinner with a group of friends. Being in public will help you cry less. When you remember what joy and laughter feel like, you can start to feel better. When socializing after your “final cry,” try to avoid bringing up your ex in conversation. While you certainly should share your feelings with your closest friends, constantly harping on your breakup will make you sadder. When your life has been wrapped up in one person for a long time, it is easy to forget who you are. By joining new activities, whether a sport, club, or musical group, you can craft a new part of your identity. This part of you will not include any memories of your ex. Additionally, if you find some new friends, they won't know you as part of a relationship. They will just get to know you for you. Activities like salsa or swing dance are particularly good. Not only will you learn new skills and exercise but you will meet new people and have platonic physical contact. This can be very important when you are used to having someone to touch. Although you might feel like staying home, leave the house and take a walk or run. Ride your bike or swim. By doing some exercise, your body will release endorphins. This will make you both happier and healthier. One way to feel refreshed is to get a new haircut. You might enjoy being pampered at a salon. Sometimes telling a new or trusted hair stylist about your breakup can be cathartic. Updating your glasses or clothing choices is another option. When so much of yourself is associated with your ex, it can be beneficial to make small changes that make you feel better. Additionally, you might feel that even though your emotions are out of control, you control your style and can still feel confident and good. Avoid drug or alcohol use. Although it is tempting to use substances to alleviate...
