Do you know other countries’ food etiquette rules? 🍽 When you travel abroad and try the local cuisine, you might notice how a certain country’s table manners are very different from your own. Here are 12 quite unexpected food etiquette rules from across the globe! 🌎 TIMESTAMPS: Don’t use forks in Thailand 1:10 Don’t “clean your plate” in China 1:55 Be ready to share a plate in Ethiopia 2:39 In Italy, you’ll insult the chef if you ask for extra cheese 3:22 Don’t ask for salt and pepper in Portugal 4:05 Be careful with chopsticks in Japan 4:45 Don’t touch food with your left hand in the Middle East 5:32 Don’t just sip on your wine in Georgia 6:18 Don’t fill your own glass in Japan 6:56 Only drink cappuccino before noon in Italy 7:32 Guests are welcomed with half a cup of tea in Kazakhstan 8:21 A clean teapot is a teapot without a soul in China 9:17 Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: In Thailand, picking food up with a fork is considered bad form. However, you are allowed to push food onto a spoon using a fork… that’s it! In China, however, it’s impolite to finish eating everything on your plate. Empty plates indicate that a host hasn’t served enough food and guests are still hungry. As you sit at the table in Ethiopia waiting for someone to give you a plate to eat from, you might miss the actual meal! Everyone else will just eat from one large serving plate in the middle of the table without using any cutlery. Although Italians do love this product, it’s considered rude to ask for extra cheese. It may insult the chef because they take it as you not liking the dish the way they’ve prepared it and wanting to change it. If you ask for salt or pepper in Portugal, you may hurt people’s feelings. It’s kinda like with Italy; the cook may feel insulted by the fact that you need to “spice up” the dish they’ve served you. According to tradition, people place chopsticks vertically during funerals. In a restaurant, doing this may insult the owner. In the Middle East, India, and some African countries, the left hand is used for…uh…cleaning yourself up after going to the bathroom. If you find yourself at a dinner party in Japan and wine is involved, never get a refill yourself. You’re supposed to fill the glass of the person sitting next to you at the table, and they’ll return the favor. Italians do drink cappuccinos, of course, but it’s mostly a breakfast drink or even a substitute for breakfast. But if you drink this milky foamy coffee later in the day, it can upset your stomach, at least according to the locals. When we think “tea ceremony,” we usually associate it with the UK and all their fancy tea-drinking etiquette. But it turns out there are plenty of tea fans in Kazakhstan, and they’ve got rules when it comes to drinking it as well. If you’ve been invited to a tea ceremony in China and offer your help with the dishes afterwards, don’t even think about washing that teapot! The Chinese don’t wash teapots, especially traditional clay ones, with dish liquid.

There are some common subtle mistakes that can ruin your look and make you appear messy. Pay attention to these style tips and follow some simple rules to always look your best. Whether they’re darker or lighter, if you’ve got visible roots that are long overdue for a touch-up, it can make you appear ungroomed and sloppy. Save your wrists for cute accessories and put your hair ties away. A messy bun is perfect when you’re lounging around the house or heading to the gym, but it’s not appropriate for work. Even a flawless look can be spoiled by untidy nails. Shopping bags are perfect when you’re at the mall or grocery store. But it’s not a good idea to carry one every day along with your purse. It just makes you look cluttered and disheveled. Unless an essential part of your outfit is a bra strap slipping out from under your blouse or your panties peeking out from your waistline, this is never an appropriate look. Keeping your skin moisturized is rule number one for good skin care and fighting the onset of fine lines and wrinkles. If you’re trying to grow your hair out long, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t periodically trim it and cut off the split ends. Whether it’s just a nervous habit or because a certain outfit is uncomfortable, if you keep pulling at or adjusting your clothing, it’s irritating for both you and the people around you. A bright lipstick applied to chapped lips makes the problem look way worse.

Artist: http://incompetech.com/ TIMESTAMPS Grown-out roots 0:32 Hair tie on a wrist 1:03 A messy bun 1:39 Hangnails and unkempt cuticles 2:18 The wrong shade of foundation or powder 2:56 Bag lady in training 3:33 Underwear showing 4:11 Dry skin 4:42 Split ends 5:18 Constantly adjusting your clothes 5:47 Lipstick on chapped lips 6:26 Pet hair on clothes 7:00 SUMMARY -If you’ve got visible roots that are long overdue for a touch-up, it can make you appear ungroomed and sloppy. -A hair tie isn’t a bracelet or a watch, and it goes only in your hair or purse. -Instead of carelessly swooping your hair up in a messy bun, take a few minutes to style it. -To always look your best, take care of your hands and nails regularly. -To find the perfect shade for you, put each shade on your chin and pick the one that best matches your neck. -Clean up the space and carry only what you need just in one bag. -If you don't want to give the wrong impression, make sure your underwear stays under your clothes. -If you normally have dry skin or you notice that your skin dries up quite easily, always carry a moisturizer or serum with you to freshen up. -When your ends start to split, it makes your hair look frizzy, knotted, and unhealthy. To avoid this unflattering look, have a hairdresser trim your ends for you. -Choose clothes that fit well and feel good. -Make it a rule not to use bright lipstick until your lips are healthy and smooth. -Always check for any pet hairs on you before you head out.

If you want to look stylish no matter what occasion, all you have to do is follow some simple rules. We’re happy to introduce a style guide for men’s fashion to help guys look irresistible. The main thing that every man needs to know is that it's not enough to just buy a suit. You have to be able to wear it properly. The main thing is to avoid getting the wrong size. The jacket sleeves shouldn’t reveal too much of your shirt cuffs or cover up too much of your hand. You definitely don’t want the suit pants to be high-waters, but they shouldn’t be so long that they bunch up over your shoes. When it comes to picking the right shirt and tie, it’s important to remember that the main color of the tie should contrast with the shirt, and the secondary color should complete it. Pants can make or break your look, so you need to be especially careful when choosing them. Every stylish man knows the importance of choosing the right color socks. If you’re wearing shorts, you can only put socks on if you’re going to the gym. Try to avoid any wacky prints, at least if you’re leaving the house. There are certain colors that complement each other nicely. Others will clash and look tacky. As for popular hairstyles nowadays, you can try an undercut, a man-bun, a top knot, or a fade.

Start by picking a main color for your shirt. -Never push your sleeves up so that it looks like you’re wearing an accordion on each arm - roll your cuffs up correctly. -Pants come in different lengths: full break, half break, quarter break, and no break, it's up to you to choose one to your liking. -Chose your shoes according to the color and style of your suit. -The color of your dress socks should match your suit pants. -If you’re not sure what to put on, you can’t go wrong with a dress shirt and V-neck sweater. -You can never go wrong with white as the main color of your outfit, both light and dark tones will go with it. -Try to avoid tight jeans, baggy T-shirts, shirts with a deep V-neck, and if you're a size 10 or bigger, steer clear of Chucks. -Note there are at least 6 ways to tie a scarf: The City Slicker, The Sophisticate, The Ivy-Leaguer, The Professor, The Artist, The Weekender. -Choose your hairstyle according to your face shape. And, you can never go wrong with the classics.

You don’t need to be a psychic in order to read people’s minds. Those around you constantly give away their thoughts, feelings, and intentions without even realizing it. You just need to be really attentive to see right through them. Obviously, everybody’s different, each with their own mannerisms and peculiarities. That's why it's so important to understand what behavior is normal for a particular individual. Slight changes in their behavior or body language can speak volumes and allow you to read them like an open book. Analyzing all the information you have, you'll be able to understand someone’s personality a lot better without even spending that much time with them. In different cultures, there can be different rules. For example, in some countries, people look away to show their respect, not because they’re hiding something or feeling uncomfortable. They say you should never judge a book by its cover. That’s good advice and all, but a person’s appearance really can tell a lot about them. We like to spend more time with people who share our interests and personality traits. Watch who someone spends most their time with and how they treat other people. See if this person tries to make others comfortable or rudely annoys people without even noticing it. Music: Level Plane - Riot From Russia With Love - Huma-Huma https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS Define the norm 0:20 Observe and compare 1:05 Always mind the context 1:43 Check out how someone is dressed 2:19 What's with the face? 3:26 Watch their behavior in a group 5:12 Listen to how they articulate their thoughts 6:07 Trust your intuition 7:02 SUMMARY -Try to understand what behavior is normal for a particular individual, and then pay attention to anything the person does differently. -Pay attention to the details: how they carry themselves, how they communicate with other people, what secrets their body language reveals. -Always keep in mind the context of the situation: in different cultures, there can be different rules. -People, either willingly or subconsciously, show their true selves through their clothing choices. -Facial expressions can reveal a lot of things people would rather keep hidden. For example, when someone likes you, their facial muscles relax, the head tilts a bit to the side, and blood rushes to their lips, making them slightly plumper and brighter. -Watch who someone spends most their time with and how they treat other people. -Don’t just listen to what a person says, pay attention to how they say it. -Intuition can let you down from time to time, but the longer you keep listening to it and observing people, the better it’ll work.

If you want to be successful and rich, but something always seems to be standing in your way, you might be making one of the most common mistakes that prevent us from getting more money. Financial experts and world-famous business magnates and Facebook COO share some simple rules how to make more money and save it. In her book Secrets of Six-Figure Women, Barbara Stanny explains that women who don’t earn much have a lot in common. Too many of them are ready to settle for a lower salary because they underestimate themselves as professionals and even see their achievements as a mere coincidence or just good luck. On the other hand, men tend to overestimate their professional skills, and that’s what helps them climb to the top. All work must be paid for and working on your own time is only acceptable in rare emergency situations. If your responsibilities have increased but your salary hasn’t, don’t be afraid to ask for a promotion. There are lots of reasons why people spend more time at work than they are scheduled: poor time management, an urge to show that you’re a super responsible employee and having confidence in your own indispensability. But constantly working overtime won’t help you earn more money at all. If you love your job, you’ll do it with pleasure and excitement, helping you increase productivity. And your boss will notice your sincere devotion and enthusiasm and become interested in your professional growth. If you're scared to make a complete change right away, take small steps towards your dream job. Money can open a lot of doors for you, but it shouldn’t be the primary reason for having a certain job. Don't forget that nothing stands still, the world is always changing. You might earn enough today, but nobody knows what tomorrow brings. Broaden your horizons as often as you can, additional knowledge never hurt nobody! Take risks and believe in yourself. Doing at least a little bit more every day and changing the game is a sure-fire way to the top! Music: Diamond Ortiz - Seven Twenty https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS Underestimating your professional value 0:45 Working for free 1:43 Being afraid to ask for a promotion 2:25 Forgetting that time is money 3:12 Constant late nights at work 4:07 Looking ahead instead of looking around 4:58 Not asking yourself the most important question 5:46 Considering money the main goal 6:36 Settling for the status quo 7:16 Using work to hide from personal problems 8:03 Neglecting your health and appearance 8:54 Only doing the bare minimum 9:45 SUMMARY -If you think you’re not qualified enough for a certain position, it mentality keeps you from shooting for higher pay rates or positions. Believe in yourself and you can shatter that glass ceiling to shreds! -Remember all work must be paid for and working on your own time is only acceptable in rare emergency situations. -If you're waiting for the perfect moment to ask for a promotion, statistics say it’s the first half of Friday. -Always be careful with your time because, unfortunately, you can't get it back. -Come up with your own unique schedule instead of spending all night at the office, constantly working overtime won’t help you earn more money at all. -Don’t ignore other spheres around you that don’t necessarily correlate with your own, this way you’ll only contribute to further success. -Don't waste your time at a job you hate, start doing what you love, and success will follow. -The most unreasonable thing is staying at a job to earn money just for the sake of earning money. -Each day, try to do a little more than you did the day before. That’ll kick start you in the right direction to success. -Try to resolve your personal conflicts and misunderstandings right away so that they don’t become a huge burden that makes your life miserable. -Scientists think that tall thin people have better developed social skills, their emotional intelligence level is higher, and they’re more confident. -To show interest in your professional growth, try to do more than everyone expects of you. Take initiative if you see that your idea can optimize the working process.

You have a chance to survive a plane accident if you follow certain important rules. Your chances of dying in a plane crash are about one in 11,000,000, but it’s better to be prepared anyway. Not all plane accidents are fatal. Sometimes the aircraft can lose altitude, slide off the runway, or get into extreme turbulence without any passengers dying or even getting injured. The US National Transportation Safety Board study of past commercial aircraft accidents and calculated there’s a 95% survival rate on those. If you have a choice when buying tickets, choose larger planes and pick the right seat. An aisle seat within a five-row distance from the exit row in the back of the plane is the safest option. You’ll need less time to escape from it. Don’t dress to impress as you’re getting ready to get on board – dress to survive instead. Put on comfy jeans and sports shoes. Wear 100% organic cotton or wool. Those material don’t melt, unlike the synthetic fabrics. Flight crash statistics show that around 80% of all crashes happen during the first three minutes after takeoff and the last eight minutes before landing. So, it’s critically important that you stay focused and alert during those time intervals. When the plane is making an emergency landing, the crew will ask you to brace for impact. If there is a seat in front of you, cross your hands on it and place your forehead on top of the hands to protect your head from injuries. If there is no seat in front of you to lean on, bend over as far as you can, grab your knees and rest your head on them. Keep it down until the plane stops. Cover your head with your hands for extra protection. Once you’ve survived a crash landing, you only have 90 seconds to escape the aircraft. Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS If possible, choose larger planes 0:40 Pick the right seat 2:07 Dress appropriately 3:49 Study the safety card and listen to flight attendants 4:50 Remember the Plus 3/Minus 8 rule 5:46 Brace for impact 6:45 Be prepared to escape in 90 Seconds 7:46 Follow the general safe escape rules 8:39 SUMMARY -Airlines operating larger jets always follow the super strict safety regulations. Smaller airplanes of regional carriers have a somewhat higher accident rate. -Your chances of survival are much higher if you’re sitting in the exit row, or a within a five-row distance from it. -To increase your safety levels, wear 100% organic cotton or wool, and avoid high heels and tight clothing. -Don’t ignore the safety instruction and watch the flight crew point the emergency exits nearest to you, as well. -Stay focused and alert during the first three minutes after takeoff and the last eight minutes before landing. -In case of an emergency landing, brace for impact. -You will have no time for hesitation or panic since all you’ve got is 90 seconds to escape the plane. -Once the plane is on ground or water, unfasten your seatbelt, and quickly move to the exit. Don’t take your carry-on with you – keep your hands free!

How to whiten your teeth and see the dentist less often? Why brushing your teeth too hard might be dangerous? Here are the 10 most common mistakes and myths about taking care of your teeth. "What do I do wrong?", thousands of people ask themselves before their appointment at the dentist. "I brush my teeth twice a day and still come to my dentist as regularly as if it was my job!" Are you one of those people? Do you believe that brushing your teeth twice a day "keeps a doctor away"? We have a surprise for you: that's far from being enough for a perfect smile. TIMESTAMPS Don't press the toothbrush too hard 0:50 Pay attention to the food you eat 1:21 Use additional tooth-cleaning devices 2:03 Don't use water to rinse your mouth 2:39 Take care of your gums 3:16 Get your tooth tartar removed 3:54 You are never too old for dental braces 4:39 Don't chew only on one side of our mouth 5:13 Don't keep our toothbrush in the bathroom 5:52 Teach your kids to take care of their teeth properly 6:31 SUMMARY Try not to be too "pushy" while cleaning your teeth. Also, take into consideration that a softer toothbrush will be more effective. What is more, choose the one with a small head - it will be easier to reach all the corners of your mouth. We usually receive the necessary everyday dose of fluorine with water. However, if you live in a region where the water has a low concentration of fluorine, you should eat more foods containing this element, such as milk, salt, etc. You can also obtain an oral irrigator. It is like a shower for your teeth and gums which you can use after each brushing session. Instead of rinsing your mouth, just spit toothpaste. Also, you can use mouthwash. But try not to drink anything for about thirty minutes after brushing your teeth. To make your gums stronger, you need to massage them with your toothbrush or finger with circular movements. Eat solid food, and chew it thoroughly. Have a hygienic cleaning procedure at least once a year. Your dentist can advise you on the proper frequency for your teeth condition. If you feel embarrassed to wear regular braces, you can always choose invisible lingual ones which are placed on the back side of the teeth. Don't hesitate to make an appointment with an orthodontist. Pay attention when eating, try to chew your food on both sides of your mouth. Don't forget to eat solid food, such as fruit and vegetables. It will make your teeth stronger. A good idea is at least to cover your toothbrush with a lid. But better still, keep it in your cabinet or nightstand. And always close the lid of the toilet bowl before you flush. Teach your children to brush their teeth carefully. Perhaps it's worth taking the procedure of fissure sealing (a specific dental treatment intended to prevent tooth decay).

Find out some pretty amazing facts about what you could do before you were even born. The life of a baby in his mom’s belly is way more exciting than you could possibly imagine. Whether it’s thumb sucking or listening to your favorite tunes, there’s so much fun going on in there. It turns out babies can develop a love for certain foods their mom ate a lot of during pregnancy. Babies in the womb have sleep cycles. Week 32 or even earlier is the time they go through their first REM cycle. Babies are not only physically connected to their moms but also emotionally, so they can get scared from time to time and even silently cry. Babies actually pee in the womb, but their urine has no smell and it’s sterile, so it’s not as gross as it sounds. Babies that are overdue or had some stress in mom’s belly can actually poop before they’re born, but it’s uncommon. In the 6th month of pregnancy, embryos give their mothers a fun time when they start getting hiccups that make the belly jump up. Probably the most adorable thing an embryo can do is smiling. TIMESTAMPS Tasting food 0:31 Sucking a thumb 1:24 Dreaming and yawning 1:57 Distinguishing voices and tunes 2:48 Crying 3:48 Peeing 4:52 Pooping 5:31 Breathing underwater 6:27 Getting the hiccups 7:03 Smiling 7:29 SUMMARY -By week 9 in the womb, babies have developed a mouth, tongue, and small taste buds. -At week 12 in your mom’s belly, you started sucking your thumb for comfort and to explore their cool newly accessible body parts. -Week 32 or even earlier is the time babies start dreaming just like we do. -Babies distinguish and love hearing their mom’s voice before they’re even born. -A phenomenon known as “silent crying” develops in embryos at 28 weeks. -Babies urinate every 45 minutes and the urine actually stays right there in the womb. -Not all babies actually defecate in the womb, but we all do accumulate stuff that could be considered embryonic “poop”. -At 27 weeks in the womb, babies start to practice breathing that doesn’t involve oxygen. -Hiccups are a sign of healthy lung development. -Babies practice smiling, along with other facial expressions, inside the womb.

We all have morning habits that are dangerous for our health. Change your life with some easy steps. If your mornings always start off with a cup of black coffee and a steaming hot shower, then you have cause for concern. Find out which morning habits it’s time to bid good riddance to. Never hit the “snooze button” on your alarm because it messes up your sleep cycles. Always take cold showers in the morning to get the energy for the day. Research shows that 80% of all smartphone users check their gadgets first thing in the morning. Don’t do it to save your time and nerves. Let the sun in or switch on the lights. Mornings are hectic enough, so don’t make it worse by wasting time choosing your clothes. It’s actually healthier to eat a slice of pizza in the morning than a bowl of cereal.

When you sit for 8 hours every day, you’re causing serious damage to your health. A sedentary lifestyle is actually a reason for many health issues. Spinal strain, the risk of cardiovascular diseases, the development of varicose veins, obesity and early aging are just some of the risks you are facing. Fortunately, there are some easy tips and important steps you can take to make it better. Walking and even moving around the office as much as you can, using the stairs instead of the elevator, and taking breaks from work to do some physical exercise all help out.

In case you don’t want to fall for a marketing trick promising instant weight loss but achieve actual results and drop some pounds quickly and for good, this video is just what you’ve been looking for. Music: Coffee Stains - Riot https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS Don't restrict the variety, increase it. 0:24 Watch your portions. 1:10 Give credit where credit’s due: to you! 1:54 Don’t underestimate the power of sleep. 2:27 You’re not dieting to look good but to feel good. 3:00 You’ve got to keep track of the calories. 3:41 Don't follow the herd, choose your diet wisely. 4:09 Snacking isn't as bad as you think. 4:42 Eat when you're hungry, not when you're bored. 5:14 Don't be too hard on yourself. 5:57 Liposuction isn't the answer. 6:32 Not all fats make you fat. 7:08 Pay attention to the meds you're taking. 7:49 Fast weight loss isn't actually fat loss. 8:24 Fiber can help you lose weight quicker. 9:20 SUMMARY -Stop torturing yourself with impossible restrictions and add a little extra on that plate, just make sure that it’s plenty of veggies or nuts. -To satisfy your hunger, serve yourself fruit or grilled veggies so that your urge to eat more doesn't spoil your diet regimen. -Don’t forget to mention the commitment YOU showed to lose weight and the effort YOU put in to do it when you achieve good results. -Getting less than 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night ramps up the hunger hormone ghrelin and decreases the satiety hormone leptin. -To lose weight for good, you need to adopt an all-around lifestyle change that includes what you eat, how you prepare food, and how often you move your body. -If you keep track of the number of calories you’re consuming, you’ll always be aware of what and how much you eat and will achieve your goal faster. -Assess your own body first and choose a diet plan that’s suited for you personally. -Any snack that’s rich in protein won't only make you feel fuller, it’ll also keep the cravings under control. -If you’re not sure whether it’s emotions or physical hunger that’s taken you to the fridge, imagine eating a carrot stick. -Cravings are totally natural and that their intensity varies from person to person, so don’t beat yourself up for giving in sometimes. -Not only do you have to lose a certain amount of weight before the surgery, you also have to keep it under control afterwards. -Full-fat dairy products, nuts, and plant-based fats promote weight loss, not inhibit it. -Avoid the pills and go for creams and ointments when it comes to struggling with allergies and extra weight. -Fast weight loss isn’t sustainable and is usually regained back fast and results in a cycle of yo-yo dieting, which messes up your metabolism. -When adding fiber to your diet, it's very important to drink water throughout the day to prevent bloating.

Sometimes certain random questions just pop up in your head, but you never actually bother to find the right answer. Lucky for you, we’ve found the answers to some of the most popular questions everybody’s asked themselves at least once in their life. So, let's finally get to the truth! Being an astronaut is such a vastly different profession and way of life from what we know that we’ve got all sorts of questions! For example, what time zone do astronauts on the ISS use? Back in the day, using UTC was convenient for both the USSR and the US, and it’s stayed that way to this very day. Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS Why do I doze off in front of the TV, but can’t fall asleep in bed? 0:39 Why do our scars and tattoos stay with us forever if our cells are constantly renewing? 1:28 Do babies poop in the womb? 2:06 What time zone do astronauts on the ISS use? 2:58 Why can animals drink water from different rivers and puddles and be just fine, but humans can’t do it? 3:37 Why do we cry when we're sad? 4:12 Why do we love unhealthy food so much? 5:03 Why is it that we can easily walk a couple of miles, yet we get so uncomfortable from just standing for 10 or 15 minutes? 5:50 Is there such a thing as heart cancer? 6:35 Why is “W” called “double-u” and not “double-v”? 7:09 What’s the meaning of simple little boxes you check that say, “I’m not a robot”? 7:47 Why is it so hard to pour water straight into a cup without it running down the pitcher and spilling on the table? 8:39 SUMMARY -When we're zoning out to some show on the tube, we’re so relaxed that our brain stops analyzing things it normally would. Yet when you're lying in bed, there are constantly some personal stresses or other random thoughts coming to your head out of the blue. -Some cells, like the epidermis are constantly replacing themselves. But scars and tattoos are connected to a deeper layer of skin called the dermis, which is renewed way slower. -We all swam in our own harmless pee, but pooping happens after the baby is born. -Astronauts don’t really use a time zone but something called Coordinated Universal Time. -A good cry serves as a breathing exercise that helps us deal with stress. And when it comes to slimy snot, it’s also tears. -Our love for unhealthy foods goes back to our ancestors. There was no concept of “a healthy, balanced diet” back then. -When we walk, blood gets pushed out of the veins thanks to muscle activity. But when we just stand still, the valves keep getting filled with more and more blood, and it creates the discomfort. -Heart cancer is a real, yet very rare type of cancer. -At first, “V” was written like “U” because the ancient Romans didn't have the letters “W” and “V” in their writing system. -When you click the “I’m not a robot” button, Google gets access to tons of your information, even data on your cursor movement, among other things to find out if you’re really human. -There is tendency of a fluid stream to stay attached to a convex surface. If the liquid flow is heavy, everything's alright, but when it's light, the water starts running down the teapot and onto the table.

Knowing basic self-defense rules could save your life one day. Hopefully you’ll never have to use any of these tips in real life, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Remember that a flat open hand can be just as effective in a fight since this type of blow will come as more of a surprise. If the attackers have used duct tape to tie your hands up, there’s a way out. You can actually tear it apart pretty easily: raise your hands above your head, and then thrust them down with a lot of force. This method will work even if your hands have been bound behind your back. Remember to hit the attacker as hard and fast as you can. If you take too long deciding what to do or where to aim, your attacker will figure out your intentions and get even madder. When you were a kid, did you ever play “spies” or make up some code words or even a secret language? If you take your code-writing to the next level, your rescuers could even find out the direction you’ve been taken or the exact place you are. You could invent code words for certain highways or directions and even give secret names to malls or other public areas you can see nearby. Your purse can serve as a shield from a knife attack, just don’t press it too close to your body. Throw your scarf in the attacker’s face to buy yourself a couple of seconds. Music: Move Out - MK2 https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS The right way to make a fist 0:32 If you’ve been tied up 1:12 Remember the most vulnerable spots 2:00 Use safety apps 2:48 Think up a code word 3:16 Use the materials on hand 4:06 Keep your pepper spray in the right place 4:34 If you’ve been grabbed by the wrist 5:06 If you’ve been grabbed by the hair 5:34 If you’ve been grabbed by the neck 6:05 Safety in an elevator 6:21 Safety in a car 6:44 Learn how to give first aid 7:15 Bonus: a few more safety rules you need to know 7:49 SUMMARY -Don’t leave your thumb out, but don’t hide it under your fingers either, otherwise, you could end up breaking it. -If your hands are being tied together, keep them clenched into fists. If your body is being tied up, take a deep breath in so that your diaphragm expands. The more room that’s left between you and your ties, the better your chances are of escaping. -Remember that the most vulnerable spots to strike are the eyes, nose, jaw, throat, neck, solar plexus (or the area right below the ribs), the knees, and shins. -Apps such as Family Locator, bSafe, and others let you track the movements of your friends and relatives or send out a distress signal if necessary. -If you don’t have a chance to call for help, an encrypted SOS will let your family or friends know you’re in danger. For instance, texting “Don’t worry, I’m alright” could stand for “Help, I’m in danger”. -Make use of any object that can help. -Keep pepper spray in your pocket so you can promptly use it and run away. -If an attacker has grabbed you by the wrist, you can use the “rule of “thumb”. Rotate your hand towards the attacker’s thumb and yank yourself free. -Grab the attacker’s wrist with both your hands in order to regain control. Then it’s time to make use of your feet again. -If the attacker has wrapped his fingers around your throat, kick him in the groin or poke his eyes with your fingers. -Make it a habit to stand with your back to the buttons panel in an elevator. -If you have to get in a car with strangers, you can pointedly tell someone on the phone or text the car’s license plate, color, and your destination for the driver to see and hear. -Learn what you should do if someone is bleeding, having a heart attack, has a fracture, strain, or serious burns here: https://brightside.me/inspiration-hea... -Always be on guard. Keep your distance. Keep your palms out in front of you. Run.

Only one person out of 25,000 people knows how to perform magic tricks. You're about to become one of them, as we're going to tell you the secrets of the most brilliant magic tricks ever. Flash paper is commonly used by magicians when they wish to create quick large flashes of fire in order to hide brisk moments of illusion from the audience. Any beginner can easily pull off the can on a card trick. If you take a closer look from another perspective you will see that the card a magician uses is actually T-shaped. The famous magician Dynamo performed his famous iPhone twisting trick leaving the audience in shock. When Dynamo shows his audience the iPhone, he shows it from the back. Then, covering the device with both hands, he rotates it entirely, showing the screen side with the halfback cover over it. From the side, it looks like the phone was twisted but we assure you that no iPhone was harmed that day. Tricks with water are also very common among magicians. For example, the one where an illusionist pours some liquid into a cup and a moment later it’s turned into a cube of ice. As you've probably already guessed, the trick here lies in the cup itself. The thing is, it already contains a piece of ice along with a sponge that’s the same color as the cup. When the magician turns the cup upside down, the ice falls out into his hand while the water remains in the sponge. The magician needs just a fraction of a second to go through the small tunnel going under the wall and stand on the other side of it, and there you go. He “passes through the wall”. Way to leave the audience speechless. Music: Fond Memories - Cinematic | Happy Frenchman Street - Dance & Electronic | Happy Side Steppin' - 5Otis McDonald Dance & Electronic | Happy https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS #9. Darcy Oake's dove illusion 0:38 #8. The rising card 1:26 #7. A can on a card 2:18 #6. A phone in a bottle 3:06 #5. Twisting an iPhone 4:04 #4. Jamie Raven's lemon trick 5:03 #3. Turning water into ice in a second 6:20 #2. Passing through the wall 7:06 #1. David Copperfield's death saw 8:11 SUMMARY -The feather that Darcy showed the audience before lightning it up is actually a piece of special paper known as flash paper. -When placing the card back in the deck, the magician puts it in front of a card with a special mechanism, a small pad, that sticks to the card and moves it upwards. -You can easily make a magical card at home by taking two ordinary cards and sticking them together in such a way that they create a T-shape. -The magician wears a special finger stall with a small but sharp blade. After showing the audience that the bottle is whole, he secretly cuts a line in it that’s big enough to push a phone through. -The magician prepared a half back cover of an iPhone and quickly put it over the screen while performing the trick. -While Jamie Raven was folding the note, he had a palmed piece of paper in his hands that he instantly switched to. With the note in his hand reached into the bag, stuffed the lemon, and took it out, showing the audience only one side of it. -The cup already contains a piece of ice along with a sponge that’s the same color as the cup. The sponge is fixed to the bottom of the cup and will absorb the water that is poured in. -There’s a special V-shaped tunnel going under the wall. That is why the spectators who study the wall and how solid it is, don’t find anything. -The secret of this trick is in the table beneath and the tiny gap between the tables that the saw blade can easily pass through. Copperfield’s legs were bent into the table, and the assistant’s upper body was hidden in the table below.

Fibonacci’s math isn’t just for cool spirals in nature—it recently helped solve a moon mystery! Scientists were puzzled by the strange patterns of ridges on the lunar surface that seemed random at first glance. But when they applied Fibonacci’s sequence, the famous series of numbers that builds into spirals and ratios, it all clicked. The ridges followed a predictable pattern tied to the moon’s geological shifts and cooling over billions of years. This ancient math, discovered in the 1200s, ended up being the key to cracking a modern space puzzle. It’s pretty amazing how the same math that explains sunflowers and seashells can help us understand the moon’s secrets!

How to be happy together? How to make your relationship last? Relationships can be tough. As it gets more serious, new problems and misunderstandings may appear out of the blue. Your friends and family will try to help you out with their advice. However, there are some types of advice psychologists recommend avoiding at any cost if you want your relationship to be healthy. TIMESTAMPS “You should find someone better for yourself” 0:43 “Show them who's the boss. Don't let them push you around!” 1:45 “Demand that your partner is romantic” 2:40 “Stay quiet. Don't make it worse” 3:49 “Just read their chat. You have the right!” 4:42 “Just remind him that what he earns isn't enough” 5:35 “Look at me and learn” 6:23 Bonus: relationship algorithms 7:55 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY -Your friends or family keep telling you that “he or she doesn't deserve you,” simply because your partner doesn't have a lot going on for him or her at the moment. However, according to psychologists, profit-seeking cannot be an adequate reason to start or end a true relationship. -It can be hard for two “leader types” to be “followers” from time to time. However, allow yourself to jazz thing up sometimes and change your roles so that each of you would understand one another better. -Psychologists claim that there’s a certain romantic period in any relationship that commonly passes after some time. Partners can’t live forever like they’re in a romantic comedy, going crazy when they see each other. -Conflicts are an inevitable part of any relationship. And it's actually also a very needed one. You shouldn’t suppress your feelings and wait until they break out one day because this will cause even more damage to the marriage or relationship. -Being in a couple doesn't mean that every bit of your partner's life should be devoted to you. Every person needs to have their space, and it doesn't equal to him or her not loving you. -If you really want to, you can find a lot of mutual reproaches to make it all even worse. Specialists say that you shouldn’t discuss such matters on a daily basis and try not to mention something like this during a big conflict. -When you have marriage difficulties, don’t look at other families and try to copy their way of life. You never know what problems they may face behind closed doors. -If you take a smart man and add a smart woman, that's a perfect recipe for long-lasting love, as they both will find the right ways to make the relationship work.

What Your Hair Length Reveals About Your Personality. Hair is one of the features that define us most, as we choose exactly how it's going to look. According to one study, it is also a true reflection of our personality. We've prepared a quick personality test for both men and women! Let's find out what your hairstyle says about you! It's not pure science, so don't take this too seriously, just have fun with it and get to know, whether these descriptions will suit you, your friends, family, your boyfriend or girlfriend! TIMESTAMPS GIRLS Pixie cut or very short hair 0:50 Bob cut or above-the-shoulder hairstyle 1:47 Lob or shoulder-length cut 2:43 Long or super long hair 3:35 GUYS Nearly-shaved hair or bald head 4:34 Short hair 5:30 Medium hair 6:19 Long Hair 7:10 SUMMARY GIRLS Cutting hair short is a very bold choice for women. Unfortunately, this beautiful haircut doesn't suit everyone, so you never know whether it is exactly for you or not. If bob is your go-to haircut at all times, you are a straightforward person, who speaks the truth, even when it hurts. Sometimes people appreciate it, sometimes they don't, but a bitter truth is still better than a sweet lie. For you, finding a balance between your personal and professional life is just a piece of cake. The shoulder-length haircut is a certain in-the-middle compromise between having either short or long hair. That's why this is the most popular type of hair length for women. If lob cuts are the essential part of your look, you are most probably happy with your feminine, elegant and sophisticated appearance. If you have a long hair, you are usually very careful, patient, and dreamy. In love, you seek a long-term relationship and give your all, but you are also very selective and demanding with your partner. GUYS Nearly-shaved hair or even bald head often gives other people the signals of dominance, total masculinity, and toughness. And usually we kind of go for this hairstyle to appear exactly like that for everyone around, right? Short hair length still proves to be the most popular one among men. You are not the biggest party animal if, given the choice, you would most likely just enjoy staying with your friends indoors, drink some beer and play video games or watch a football or any other game. You can be lazy from time to time, but if you are truly excited about something, it can be very hard to stop you. Medium length hair gradually becomes more and more popular. There are all sorts of hairstyles you can do with it, plus it usually looks quite fashionable. So, if you choose a medium length, you probably, unlike the previous type, really into parties, clubs and stuff like that. Guys with long hair – now it's your turn to listen carefully. You are probably already aware that your look makes multiple women's hearts beat faster. And it's totally understandable because you probably appear very artistic and mysterious. You are an introvert – you feel comfortable being on your own and open up only to people you truly care about. Did these descriptions match your personality? Tell us in the comment section below!

Everyone you meet can help you open more doors in terms of friendships, business, love, and so on. Bright Side has compiled a list of must-know rules for those who know the true value of making new acquaintances and business contacts. TIMESTAMPS Do a research about the person you are going to meet 0:44 Prepare for the context of the meeting 1:23 Learn people’s names and use them 2:12 Remember that nobody feels relaxed 3:18 Be friendly and confident 3:45 Watch your posture 4:47 Focus on your body language 5:21 Take care of your appearance 5:40 Never show off 6:18 Pay attention to the person’s interests 6:43 Finish the conversation correctly 7:39 SUMMARY You don’t need to spend a lot of money on a private detective. Just find the person’s page on Facebook and look through it. It’s likely that you’ll find some information about his or her professional experience, hobbies, and personal interests. There are many kinds of meetings: it can be your first date, a job interview, a meeting with your child’s school teacher. Of course, you should be prepared differently for every kind. Dale Carnegie wrote: “To recall a voter’s name is statesmanship. To forget is oblivion”. This might sound like an obvious piece of advice, but you can’t even imagine how powerful the effect is that names have on us. In sales, it’s essential to learn a buyer’s name and use it a few times during the conversation. Very few people can feel comfortable when talking to new people. Everybody is worried about how they look and what they say. Don’t forget that the person you’ve just met is also just a person! A fake smile is usually the one when your lips are smiling, and your eyes aren’t. Practice a little in front of the mirror, and once you believe yourself, you are ready to go. But remember: a fake smile is worse than no smile at all. Your posture can tell a lot about yourself to other people. Don’t stoop if you don’t want to look like a loser. Hold your back straight — that way you’ll look self-assured and open. Keep your hands in the person’s sight. Use your hands when talking. Gestures help to relax your memory because they kind of does a part of talking. Don’t cross your legs or hands — this might indicate that you are insecure, which, of course, you aren’t! The most important rule is always to stay yourself. If you don’t feel comfortable wearing suits, then don’t put them on. You don’t want to think about your outfit during the conversation. Whatever situation you are in, whoever you are meeting, never show off. After all, you’re not Tony Stark! Even if you have a lot to tell about how much money you have or where you go on vacations, keep this information to yourself and only share it if you are asked directly. Show your deepest interest in what the person is telling you (even if it’s the most boring thing you’ve ever heard). Listen attentively, don’t interrupt, and ask questions. Do not interrupt the person in mid-sentence. Let them finish. After that come up with a good reason why you need to leave now. Don’t let the person think that you are leaving because you are bored. Smile, and say that you had pleasure meeting them.

Never take your phone to the bathroom. There are some places and moments you should not share with it because it can be dangerous for your health (for example, never use your phone in a bathroom!). Here is a list of real risks your phone has for you. TIMESTAMPS Your smartphone can cause nomophobia 0:53 Your smartphone can give you rinxiety 2:11 Your smartphone can mess with your memory 2:58 Your phone lowers your self-esteem 3:34 Your phone can make you gain weight 4:46 Your phone can cause pain in your neck and your back 5:27 Never take your phone to the bathroom 6:12 Never put your phone in your pocket 7:43 Your phone does not belong in your bedroom 9:08 SUMMARY How much does your mobile phone mean to you? Not that much? You just use it to make private and work calls, send messages for both fun and business, take pictures and share them on social networks and through messengers. It navigates you. It answers all your questions. You also have some important apps installed, so it gets you a cab when you need it, orders food for you and keeps you entertained when you have spare time and feel bored. There is a good chance it also wakes you up in the morning. Did we get it right? However, there are some places and moments you should not share with it because it can be dangerous for your health. For example, you should never take your phone to your bedroom. Eight out of ten people keep their mobile phones on overnight, and 50 % use their phones as an alarm clock. It just seems natural to go through your mail or social networks before going to bed to finish the day, and you can’t wait to wake up and see what’s new in the morning. There is news for you: it is dangerous for your health to keep your phone on your bedside table and even in your bedroom altogether. The artificial blue light your phone emits can suppress the hormones that promote sleep so you will find it harder to fall asleep. As a result, it will interfere with your body’s natural rhythm: it will make your body believe it is daytime, and there is no need to go to bed. It will deprive you of sleep you need to restore energy for the day. Even if you manage to fall asleep easily despite that electronic light, random overnight vibration, beeping and occurring light will wake you up long before you are supposed to. Make sure you share this video with your friends and family – help them stay safe and healthy.

These 9 simple little things will help you express your love much better than words. From giving compliments to cooking dinner together – we are going to explain why each of them means so much to your beloved. You can talk about such a great feeling as love. You can write poems and songs and tell everyone you know about it. But sometimes all you need is to do something right. This will mean more for a person than any words you can say. Watch this video till the end if you want to make your relationship even stronger and your love – everlasting. TIMESTAMPS Give your partner some time to rest. 0:48 Be a good listener. 2:28 Don’t forbid them to see their friends. 4:09 Pay attention to the things they love. 5:12 Dream together. 5:50 Give compliments. 6:58 Be both a girlfriend and a friend for him, not a tyrant. 7:37 Cook dinner together. 8:24 Don’t get annoyed by flaws. 9:08 SUMMARY Find things to keep yourself busy with. There is most likely something you have always wanted to learn: cooking like a chef, editing pictures, speaking French or maybe you wanted to knit a super long cozy scarf for the winter? There you go – your alone time is a great opportunity for that. Remember this: if your partner wants to talk to you about something you know nothing about, or are not interested in, don’t refuse right away. Sometimes girls just need someone who can listen to the latest news, learn about all the sales, and look at all the things they’ve bought. Don’t be angry in these moments. When you are in a relationship, the last thing you should do is try to turn your partner into your property. Every person needs private space and time they can spend with friends. Happiness consists of small things. Her favorite sweets and fruits and washed dishes may seem insignificant, but it will be a big sign for her that you remember what she likes, you value your relationship, and you love her. Doing something silly and fun together will make great memories. And of course, dreaming together means making plans together. That is a sign of love and commitment. Here comes the big surprise: girls are not the only ones who love hearing compliments. Even though they don’t openly admit it, guys love to know that they look good too. So tell your boyfriend that he is very handsome, his shirt really suits him, or that his socks are really cool. Criticism, dissatisfaction, and trying to get involved in "men" stuff are not the things men want from their girlfriends. Even if you are sure you know what’s better for him, let him be independent. Planning and cooking a big meal together is something like a little model of living together – each of you has some tasks and responsibilities, and it will only work out if you work together as a team. Learn to love your partner and accept them the way they are, even with their little faults. Then you will see that it’s so much easier to live like that.
