Clapping can be a great way of showing your appreciation, but it can also be rude if you clap at the wrong time. In certain situations, it’ll be obvious when to clap, but other times are more ambiguous. Not sure when to clap? The best way to avoid an awkward situation is to wait to clap until you hear applause, then join in.  Use the volume of people clapping around you to keep your volume at an appropriate level. Match your style of clapping to the rest of the crowd. Is it appropriate to clap after a soloist at church? After a good movie? After a solo during a concert? It’ll change in every situation. Go with what happens around you. The most common purpose and moment for applause is when something great has just happened in public that deserves celebrating. Speeches, athletic events, and concerts are all common places to clap.  Points in athletic competition, or great plays are often rewarded with clapping and applause in many cultures. In others, overly-dramatic displays of emotion are somewhat looked down on, but if people are clapping it's probably a safe bet that you won't be glared at. Most people clap after songs at a pop music concert of any kind, as well as when performers come to and leave the stage. At public speaking events, it's common to welcome a speaker to the stage, and congratulate them at the end of a speech or performance. Depending on the occasion, it's usually uncommon to clap in the middle of most performances, unless directed by the performer. Sometimes accompanying clapping might be requested, or to "Give a hand" to someone present. Follow instructions. As soon as the clapping starts to die down, it’s ok to stop clapping. Clapping isn’t a chance to interrupt a performance, it’s a chance to celebrate it. Get quiet with the crowd and don't act silly. It’s also common to clap as a part of audience participation at some music events or concerts. If the performance was particularly great, continue clapping and try to prompt the performer to come back out for one more song or routine. At...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подождите, пока не начнут аплодировать другие. Отмечайте аплодисментами понравившееся вам исполнение. Когда аплодисменты начинают угасать, прекращайте хлопать в ладоши и вы. Аплодисментами после концерта зрители просят исполнителей еще раз показаться на сцене. Если вам аплодируют, аплодируйте в ответ. Будьте осмотрительны на концертах классической музыки. В некоторых церквах принято аплодировать после музыки.


Clarify who it will help. The answer may be based on your academic, personal or professional needs, but it should be your motivation for doing a thorough job. You should boil the question down to basic terms, time periods and disciplines. Write down any sub-questions that need to be researched before you can answer the question. Usually a thesis is a response to a general topic or question being asked. You should have an idea what you would like to use your research for; however, it does not need to be fully formed before you begin the research project. Generally, a research proposal is required for research projects that will last more than a few weeks.  Term papers, graduate projects and field research projects will require a research proposal that states what problem you would like to solve through investigation. State the problem first, and then explain why the problem is relevant and important for the people to which you will be submitting the research. Include the types of research you would like to conduct, including reading, surveys, gathering statistics or working with specialists. The following topics should be determined before you get started:  The timeline for the research to take place. You will need a timeline to successfully cover all your bases. A list of topics that should be included in your final report. If you have a syllabus or official assignment, it should explain the scope. The schedule of reviews by teachers or managers, so you can meet progress checks along the way. The number of sources that are required. Generally, the number of sources is commensurate with the length of the paper. The format for your research list, citations and works cited list.

TL;DR in Russian:

Clarifying shampoos help remove dirt and product build-up from hair that can cause breakouts on your neck and back. To make a clarifying shampoo with baking soda, add 1⁄2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) of baking soda to a bottle of shampoo. Then, wash your hair like you normally would.  Remember to rinse your hair thoroughly so the baking soda shampoo doesn’t dry out your scalp. Use your baking soda clarifying shampoo once a month.

Classic hippie music is older music, typically rock n' roll, from the 1960s and 1970s. This time period was when the hippie counterculture was skyrocketing.  You shouldn't force yourself to listen to oldies if you don't like it. There are plenty of other music styles that are deemed, modern hippie. Give these classic albums a chance before you dismiss it:  The Doors by The Doors Forever Changes by Love Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane Deja Vu by CSNY Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix Blond on Blond by Bob Dylan IV by Led Zeppelin Anthem of the Sun by Grateful Dead Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles If You can Believe Your Eyes and Ears by The Mamas and the Papas One large distinction of modern hippies compared to the older generation is the newer strides in electronic music. Many young people who identify as being a hippie also prefer newer styles of psychedelic electronic music. Bands like Shpongle or Infected Mushroom make up examples of the genre, psytrance, which has become very popular with modern hippies.  A large connotation with this type of music and concert experience is with drug experimentation. Electronic hippie music is also rooted deeply in jam band music. A staple of the hippie movement is centered around jam bands. They've been a staple since The Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers and have since evolved throughout the decades. It is not necessary to like jam bands, but most connotations of a hippie imply an appreciation or knowledge of jam bands.  Newer offshoots from the first generation of jam bands are:  Phish Widespread Panic The String Cheese Incident moe. There are also many genre offshoots that cross into other genres like bluegrass, Yonder Mountain String Band, and dance music, Disco Biscuits. Since Woodstock and Monterey Pop festival, more and more music festivals have popped up around the world. One of the biggest festivals for modern hippies is Burning Man, in which the regular festival attendees are called “burners.”  Another traveling large festival...

Classic nachos highlight the two most essential nachos ingredients: chips and cheese. Build on this foundation by adding whatever toppings you desire. Pick up the following items:  Tortilla Chips: flour or corn, the fresher the better. The perfect chip is thick enough to hold serious toppings but light enough to let the other ingredients shine. Cheese: cheddar is the classic, but mozzarella, monterey jack, cotija; if it can shred, it’ll taste good. Mix them for color. Salsa: your choice. The classic is chunky pico de gallo. Sour cream: Try not to choose low fat. Sour cream gives Nachos part of their umami and balances the spice. Pickled jalapeños: available in most supermarkets. Leave these out if you can’t handle the spice. Beans: black beans or refried beans are the most popular choices. This optional ingredient adds some heft to your nachos. Meat: seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken. Adding some well-cooked and seasoned meat, while optional, can make your nachos much more satisfying. You can also use a pie dish or a casserole dish for this purpose. If you’re microwaving the nachos instead of heating them up in the oven, use a microwave-safe dish. Sprinkle a liberal amount of cheese over the nachos. Try to get some cheese on every chip. Nachos taste just as good whether they’re cooked in the oven or the microwave. Choose one of these cooking methods:  Broil them. Set the oven rack 6 inches (15.2 cm) from the heat source and broil until the cheese melts. This will usually happen in 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn the cheese. Remove and let cool for a few minutes. Microwave them. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Remove and let cool for a few minutes. Place dollops of sour cream in a ring around the top of the nachos. Sprinkle the jalapeños and salsa on top. Napkins are a must; forks are scandalous. Select a nacho, dip it in some sour cream, use it to scoop a jalapeño, and eat up.  Classic nachos taste great with  the addition of any of your favorite meats or vegetables. Favorites include ground beef,...

Classical piano and jazz music are shown to reduce anxiety and lower your heart rate. Turn on some calming music, or music that makes you feel positive. Focus on the music to shift your attention away from your nerves and help your mind to relax. Prepare a playlist of songs that make you feel great. This is a good way to boost your mood. Smiling will help you to feel more confident and positive. It will also help make you look friendlier and more approachable to others. Whenever you meet someone new, try to greet them with a smile. Breathing deeply slows down your heart rate and relaxes your muscles. This is a great way to help manage your nerves. Breath in deeply and push out your stomach. Hold the breath for 3 seconds before you breathe out.  Keep breathing deeply until you feel more relaxed. Try not to focus on feeling nervous. Instead, focus on your breathing. Positive and encouraging words are a great way to help you feel good about yourself and calm your anxiety. If you notice yourself feeling anxious, think some positive, encouraging thoughts in your head to help calm yourself down. Try phrases such as: “I’m a likable person and can make friends easily” or “I can do this”. It’s easy to think that you are the only one who is nervous. However, most people feel pretty nervous when they are going somewhere new. Remember that everyone has experienced what you are feeling, and most people will be sympathetic to your nerves.  Even teachers have had a first day. Don’t be afraid to ask them for help or advice.

TL;DR in Russian:

Слушайте успокаивающую музыку по дороге в школу. Улыбайтесь, даже если вы испытываете смущение. Сделайте несколько глубоких вдохов и выдохов, когда почувствуете беспокойство. Развивайте положительное мышление. Помните, что все ученики нервничают в первый день.


Clean it well with mild or unscented dish soap to remove any human scent on it. The groundhog will be more likely to approach the trap if it doesn't smell like you. From this point forward, handle the trap with rubber gloves on to avoid transferring your scent back to it. Weight your trap down so that it does not shake when the animal enters. The shaking may spook the groundhog, and it may not enter far enough to become trapped. You can weight it by placing a heavy rock in the back of the trap or putting rocks on top of the trap. Groundhogs won't be likely to walk into a shiny new trap. You'll have a better chance of catching a groundhog if you conceal it by covering it with some vegetation, like branches and leaves. You could also hide the metal with a burlap sack or some pieces of wood to make it look less like a trap. Scatter some vegetables like lettuce, carrots and celery inside the trap. Choose foods that specifically grown in your garden or crop area that you know the groundhog likes to eat, because you've seen the evidence. You can also buy a product called "woodchuck lure" that attracts groundhogs very well. Set it so that it stays open for the first few days, so that the groundhog will get used to it and feel safe going inside to get the bait. After 3 or so days, change the setting so that the door will close behind the groundhog next time it wanders inside. If you are using a live trap, it is inhumane to leave the animal in a trap without water and exposed to the elements for long periods of time. Make sure that you remove the animal from your property shortly after it has been caught.

TL;DR in Russian:

Clean the jar first, then draw designs onto it using hot glue. Allow the glue to set, then paint over the jar, preferably with spray paint. Allow the paint to dry, then distress and/or seal the jar, if desired.  You can draw simple designs, such as dots, swirls, or hearts. You can also write words on the glass instead, such as "Love" or "Witch Brew." If you don't have hot glue, you can try using puffy paint instead. The raised designs won't be as prominent and they will take longer to dry. Apply just a single coat of acrylic paint; if you apply more than that, the edges of your design may become blurred or uneven. Depending on how thick your coat of paint was, your design could end up looking somewhat translucent, which could lend your jar a delicate appearance. Print out a picture that you like, then tape it inside the jar. Paint your jar using the picture as a guide, then pull the picture out. Clean your jar, then apply your desired adhesive stencil. Apply 2 to 3 coats of acrylic paint to the inside of the stencil with a pouncer (a round, foam brush). Peel the stencil away, then allow the paint to dry. Seal the jar as desired. If you are using a paintbrush, apply the paint from the outside edges of the stencil inward. Clean your jar first, then cut a shape out of adhesive vinyl or contact paper. Smooth the shape onto the jar taking care to avoid any raised designs. Apply 2 to 3 coats of acrylic paint, allowing each one to dry. Peel the stencil away, then fill in any chips using spare paint and a small paintbrush.  If you wish to seal your jar, do so before you remove the stencil. Avoid painting over the stencil. This will reduce chipping when you go to take it off. Draw the shape by hand or use a cookie cutter to trace it. You can paint the entire jar with chalkboard paint, or apply it using a stencil/reverse stencil. Let the paint cure for several days. Prime the paint by rubbing chalk over it, then wiping if off. Draw a picture or write a message using chalk. For a twist, paint over the chalkboard jar...

Clean your hair and scalp regularly and in a gentle manner with shampoo and conditioner. This can help you not only regrow your hair, but prevent damage that may cause further hair loss or impeded growth.  Wash your hair every other day or as little as necessary. Frequent washing can damage your strands.  Massage shampoo into your scalp and into the length of your hair. Rinse by allowing water to flow from your scalp down the ends of your hair. Don't rub your hair as it rinses, which may cause damage or hair loss. After you finish washing and rinsing your hair, apply a conditioner along the length of your hair from ends to scalp. Drying your hair and scalp with towels and hair dryers can cause damage and impede hair growth. Dry your hair with caution to help prevent breakage and promote regrowth.  After you've washed your hair, use a towel to lightly rub or pat your strands dry. Avoid the temptation to wrap your hair in a towel, which can damage your hair and cause breakage.  Let your hair or scalp air dry if possible.  If you use a hair dryer, use the lowest heat setting. Reducing the number of times per week that you use a hair dryer may help stimulate hair growth. If you brush or comb your hair, try and do this as infrequently and gently as possible. Reducing how often you brush or comb and changing the way in which you do it can help promote hair growth and prevent damage.  Only brush your hair to style it. It's a myth that you should brush your hair 100 strokes a day.  Allow your hair to air dry a bit before brushing or combing after washing.  Use a wide toothed comb to untangle wet hair. This will cause less damage than a brush. If your hair is tangled, remove tangles gently and use a conditioner to help you if necessary. Many people style their hair or use styling products such as curling irons, which are often hotter than a dryer. If you have to style your hair, choose loose styles, avoid heavy products, and use lower heat tools.  Pulling hair back tightly in ponytails or styles such as cornrows not...

Cleaning means different things to different people. You’re going to have to identify, first, exactly what you want to do. When deciding on your goal, think of the audience. Do you just want it to be clean for yourself, or for guests? Also, the level of “clean” will necessarily be restricted by the amount of time you devote, so keep that in mind. There are a few different possibilities:  You want the room to “look” clean to others. This might be the quickest option, as you'll just be creating the illusion of a clean and organized room. It might include just moving around clutter and wiping down furniture and be doable in under 30 minutes. You want the room to be organized. This is a moderate option that could take up to an hour, depending on how much stuff is cluttering the room and needs to be put away. You want the room to be organized and to be free of dirt, grime, and smells. This could take up to 2 hours, depending on a variety of factors. There are also varying levels between the above options. You’re going to have to set aside a certain amount of time to achieve your goal. One of the largest determinants of how much time you set aside will be your end goal. But before you come up with an amount of time, you need to ask yourself a few questions:  How much time do you have? How large is the mess? What is your definition of “quick”? Take a few steps to make sure that you’re undisturbed so that you can devote all of your energy to cleaning. After all, you won’t be able to get much done if you’re constantly talking to people, answering the phone, or doing other activities. In addition, you can take a few steps to further motivate yourself. Consider the following:  Turn off your cell phone. Turn off your computer. Tell your parents, siblings, or roommates that you’re going to be busy for a little while. Put on some music that gets you pumped up. Spend perhaps five minutes taking a look at the mess that you’re about to clean up. When doing this, you need to create a list, either mental or on paper, of the...

Cleanse your face first with a gentle non-oil and non-alcohol based cleanser.  Place the cleanser on your fingertips and use gentle, circular motions to loosen any dirt. Wash for about a minute, then rinse with cool or lukewarm water. Pat dry with a clean towel. Mix 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of sea salt with 3 teaspoons (15 mL) of hot water in a small bowl or cup. Stir until the sea salt is dissolved. Make sure you use sea salt, not table salt. Table salt contains only NaCl. It may also contain iodine, if it is iodized table salt. Sea salt contains a wide range of necessary minerals, including calcium, magnesium, sodium, chlorine, iodine, potassium, zinc, iron and trace minerals. There are several natural remedies that can help make your skin healthier and clearer. Add 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of one of the following:  Aloe vera gel: This is available at natural health food stores. It can help heal your skin.   Green tea: Steep some green tea and add it to your sea salt mixture to get the tea’s antioxidant benefits.  Honey: Use honey for its antibacterial actions and to promote healing. You can choose to apply the sea salt mixture to your entire face or apply it in certain areas. You can use your fingers to spread the mixture all over your face. Alternately, use a cotton swab and dip the tip into the mixture. Then apply where needed. Avoid getting the mixture near your eyes. Allow the sea salt facial mask to dry on your skin. Don’t leave it on for longer than 10 minutes though. Sea salt draws moisture out of your skin and can dry it out too much. Use cool to lukewarm water to rinse the facial mask from your skin. Work the mask off of your face with your fingers as you rinse it with water. Gently dry your face with a towel. Don’t rub your face, as this will irritate your skin further. Apply a “non-comedogenic” moisturizer. Non-comedogenic means that it will not clog your pores.  Examples include Olay, Neutrogena and Clinique moisturizers.  Look for the term “non-comedogenic” on the label. You can check the labels of...

Clear away any snow and ice that may accumulate around it. Do this immediately. A blocked exhaust pipe may cause carbon monoxide to build up in a sealed car, causing poisoning and death. Turn on your hazard lights or set road flares. This will help rescuers find you and prevent other drivers from hitting your car. If your cell phone is working, call emergency services. Other than to clear the exhaust or set flares, you should not leave your car. Your car will provide warmth and protection you will need to survive.  An exception would be if you see a building nearby that you can safely get to. Attempt to seek shelter there instead.  The low visibility of a blizzard means that you will be easily lost. Even if you don't go far, there is a good chance you will not be able to find your way back to your car. Do not take that risk. Do small exercises, such as clapping your hands or wiggling in your seat. This will help keep your heart rate and circulation at a safe level. When stuck in a confined space like a car, you will be more prone to poor circulation. Poor circulation contributes to frostbite. Start your engine once an hour to help stay warm. Run the heat for no more than 20 minutes at a time. Make sure to keep checking that your exhaust is clean. Drink from your bottled water regularly. Eat from your emergency supplies. This will help to prevent hypothermia. If you run out of water, do not eat snow. The cold will reduce your body temperature. Instead, melt snow using the can and matches from your emergency kit. Only drink once thoroughly melted.

TL;DR in Russian:

Убедитесь в том, что выхлопная труба не забита. Постарайтесь сообщить другим о своем присутствии. Оставайтесь в машине. Сохраняйте бодрость. Периодически запускайте двигатель. Пейте достаточно воды и не забывайте есть.


Clear away piles of grass clippings, leaves, firewood, mulch, or compost.  Dark places attract wolf spiders, which hide in these areas during the day. By exposing as much of your yard as possible to sunlight, you make the area relatively unappealing to wolf spiders. Clear away as much debris and clutter from your yard as possible. Even objects like empty planters, stones, and grills can provide a dark hiding place that will attract wolf spiders. Move shrubs and other heavy, ground-covering plants away from the building.  Wolf spiders love to hide in dark places, and low vegetation is among the wolf spider's favorite hiding spots. If possible, remove all heavy ground-covering plants from the yard. If this is not possible, you should at least move these plants away from the perimeter and to the outer perimeter of your yard to draw the spiders away from your home. Make sure that all cracks and gaps leading from the outside in are patched up, preventing wolf spiders from sneaking in.  Use caulk to fill in gaps, holes, and cracks in the side of the foundation or along the exterior wall. Add weather stripping to doors and windows to minimize the risk of allowing a wolf spider to sneak in beneath. Patch up broken window screens or replace the screens completely. Tightly fix a fine-mesh screen over all vents that lead to the outside. Pay special attention to foundation vents. While wolf spiders can get into your home through attic vents and chimneys, they are primarily ground-dwelling hunters and are most likely to enter in through vents and crawl spaces along the foundation of the building. Lights on the outside of your house attract flies, moths, and other insects at night, providing an appealing food source for wolf spiders.  Keep your lights turned off as much as possible to limit the number of insects drawn to your home. Draw your blinds or shades closed to keep indoor lighting from flooding out. Switch to sodium vapor lights instead of standard outdoor lights. These lights have a soft yellow hue which is less...

Clear off a table and lay out the necessary materials for the card. For a basic birthday card, you'll need:  Construction paper or cardstock and stationery Coloring utensils such as markers, crayons, and colored pencils Glue Stickers Rubber stamps or other images such as photographs, magazine pictures, or images from cards that have already been used Take a piece of construction paper and fold it into quarters.  Depending on how large or small you want to card to be, you can also use a piece of good quality cardstock (A4 size), cut it in half, and then fold it down the middle. If you have an envelope you'd like to use for the card, fold the paper so it will fit inside the envelope. Leave at the very least 1/8" (.3 cm) on all sides so the card can slide easily in and out of the envelope. Customize the card design based on who the card is for and the materials you have available. Keep in mind you have the front and inside of the card to decorate, so perhaps you want to include a simple design or image on the front of the card and a more personal or detailed design inside the card.  Think of a riddle or poem. You can compose a limerick, look up a line from your favorite poem, or find a funny riddle. Draw a picture of a person the card receiver admires or likes. You can also cut out and paste a picture of a person or of the card receiver. Add a thought or speech bubble over the picture and include a funny message or saying. Turn the card a mini graphic novel. Divide the card into a grid and tell a little story. Choose a quote or saying based on a personal moment with the person, such as the first time you met them, or something they did on their last birthday. Tailor the card’s decorative details to the recipient.  For example, if it’s your dad’s birthday and he likes to fish, you could add a stamped fisherman image and a piece of string glued to a fishing rod and anchor it to a drawing of a big fish on the front of the card. Bright colors are vivid and fun; muted colors are classy and more sophisticated. A card...

Clearly let them know what you think, how you feel, and what you want. It’s easy to get nervous and ramble or fumble on your words. Prepare for the conversation to ease your nerves and give detailed examples until you are sure your parents understand what you are saying. Don’t exaggerate or lie. It may be difficult to hide your emotions if the topic is highly sensitive. Speak sincerely and make sure that your parents aren’t dismissing anything you say. If you have lied in the past or are regularly dramatic, it may take time for your parents to believe you but be persistent. Anticipate your parents reaction. Have you talked about related issues? If you know that they will react negatively or disagree, let them know that you understand where they are coming from. If you show that you have their feelings in mind, they may be more likely to be open to your perspective. For example, if your parents are concerned with having a cell phone you can say something like, “Mom, dad, I know that you don’t want me to have a cell phone. I understand that they cost a lot of money, are a lot of responsibility, and you don’t think they’re necessary for kids my age. I know you see the other girls in my grade with their own phones and you think that it’s a waste because they just play games or use Instagram. What if I saved up for a phone and we can use a pay-as-you-go plan to make sure I only use my money? You can also check out the games and apps I download because I just want to use it for times like that time my volleyball game ran late or when you’re on the phone with grandma.” Be respectful and mature by using a positive tone. Do not be sarcastic or snarky when you hear things that you don’t agree with. If you speak to your parents as you want to be spoken to, chances are that they will take the conversation seriously. Certain conversations are best had with certain parents. Perhaps you talked to your dad more about school or your mom about dating. Make sure you’re having the right conversation with the right person. Make...

Click Start, and in the search field enter “Paint.” When the application appears, click on it to launch Paint. Click on the Paint menu button, click Open, select your image, and click Open again. The current image size is shown in the status bar.    On the Home tab, in the Image group, click Resize. You can choose to resize by percentage or by pixels.  Percentage will reduce the height and width by a set percentage. For example, if your picture is 800 x 600 px, and you want it to be 75% of the original size, enter “75” into either the Horizontal or Vertical fields, and your new image will be 600 x 450 px.     If you select Pixels rather than Percentage, you can enter the pixel dimensions of either the Horizontal or Vertical sides, and the other will be calculated automatically. For example, if you entered 450 as the Vertical dimension, the Horizontal dimension would automatically be 600.    Click the Paint button, select Save as, and then click the picture file type for the resized image.

Click an email's subject to open the email in the inbox. To exit an open email, click the left-facing arrow above the upper-left corner of the email. You can scroll through your inbox to view emails there, or you can click the search bar at the top of the page and then type in whatever you're searching for (e.g., a subject or a sender). If you want to select a group of emails, click the checkbox to the left of each email you want to select.  This is useful when moving or deleting large groups of emails all at once. To select an entire page of emails, click the checkbox above the top-left side of the top email. Select the emails you want to mark as read, then click the open envelope icon at the top of the inbox. Opening an email will also mark it as read. Archiving an email allows you to save the emails without having them in your inbox folder. To archive emails, select the emails in question, then click the downward-facing arrow icon at the top of the page. You can find archived emails by clicking the All Mail folder on the left side of the page, though you may have to scroll down (and/or click More) on the left-hand menu to find this option. To delete emails from your inbox, select the emails you want to delete, then click the "Trash" icon at the top of the window. Deleting emails from your inbox doesn't permanently delete them immediately—they'll move to the Trash folder where they'll remain for 30 days before being deleted automatically.

Click on the link, add your relevant personal information, and click "join LinkedIn." Your profile is the condensed picture of how the professional world sees you. A great, detailed profile projects someone who is successful, thorough, and connected. A thin or outdated profile projects someone who doesn't care or who can't be bothered. Make sure your profile says the thing(s) you want to project.  LinkedIn's profile wizard will take you through the steps of entering your region, industry, company and current job title. You will also be asked whether you are employed, a business owner, looking for work, working independently or a student. This information completes your basic profile. This will help you efficiently complete the next step, which is finding connections. Connections are professional contacts whom you know or wish to know. The connections you add on LinkedIn become part of your social network.  LinkedIn will prompt you to search for connections by crawling your email, which you give LinkedIn access to. You can use this to see who among your email connections already has a LinkedIn account and invite them to become part of your professional network. You may opt to skip this step if you prefer to add connections individually. Enter your previous employment details and your education information. Then enter a brief summary and/or headline. A brief summary or headline stating who you are professionally in a few sentences. This headline should give a sense of your most outstanding professional attributes. Unlike other social networks, this picture should reflect you at your most professional. No pictures of binge drinking, girls around the arm, or smoke wafting from the background, even if it's a really good picture. Choose an illustration that represents your professional image.

Click on the red and white Pokéball in the bottom center of your screen.  Assess which ones you have duplicates of and which ones you want to evolve. For example, if you have two Pikachus, and one has 21 CP and the other has 11 CP, you would probably want to keep/evolve the one with 21 CP and transfer the one with 11 CP. The one with more CP and HP will be more powerful in the battlefield. This strategy works best for Pokémon that you can collect a lot of (like Pidgey or Rattata). If you get two rarer Pokémon, you might want to save them and not transfer them to Professor Willow.   Transferring a Pikachu to Professor Willow will give you Pikachu Candy. You cannot undo a transfer. Do not transfer the Pokémon if it is your last Pokémon; you won’t have one left to evolve! You will get one Candy for each Pokémon you transfer to Professor Willow.

Откройте меню «Пуск». Нажмите «Параметры». Нажмите «Обновление и безопасность». Щелкните по Восстановление. Нажмите Начать. Выберите параметр сброса. Щелкните по Далее. Нажмите Восстановить. Щелкните по Продолжить , когда появится запрос.


Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Click the gear-shaped icon in the bottom-left corner of the Start window. It's on the Settings page. You'll find this in the upper-left side of the window. Any app that you recently installed needs to be removed, since flawed or broken apps can easily cause the BSOD to appear. Doing so will prompt a button to appear below the app. It's below the bottom-right corner of the app's window. This is below the app. Doing so will remove the app from your computer, though you may need to follow a couple of on-screen prompts to finalize the removal. You'll repeat this process for each recently installed app here.

TL;DR in Russian:

Откройте меню «Пуск». Нажмите «Параметры». Щелкните по Приложения. Нажмите на вкладку Приложения и компоненты. Найдите программу, которую вы недавно установили. Щелкните по программе. Щелкните по Удалить. Нажмите Удалить, когда появится запрос (под программой).
