For best results, exercise for at least 30 minutes at a time, three to five days a week.  These cardio activities are particularly effective for getting rid of back fat.  They will burn calories and strengthen your back muscles:  Rowing, boxing and swimming. Other cardio exercises to include are:  running/jogging, walking, biking, using the elliptical or dancing. The benefits of cardio don't just stop at toning your back. Cardio has also been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, improve cholesterol and triglyceride levels, improve heart function, and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.  You cannot "spot treat" or lose weight in only one particular area.  You need to lower your overall body weight and decrease body fat to see a reduction in one particular area.  Cardio exercises will help support this. This is a way to burn fat more quickly.  It will not only tone your back, but tone and trim fat from all over your body.   Doing higher intensity interval training can help burn more fat and increase your fat burn after you've completed the exercise.  One way to do interval training is by running: Run at a vigorous pace for several minutes, return to a more comfortable pace for five minutes, then speed up your routine for another two minutes. Continue your entire routine in this manner for 15–20 minutes. Consider High intensity interval training. The NIH defines HIIT as exercising at a high intensity for 30 seconds to several minutes with bouts of either no or low intensity exercise for a minute or two in between. Doing this actually amplifies the benefits seen in doing normal cardio exercises. It can improve your cardiovascular health and raise your metabolism. When exercising at high intensity, you should be perspiring and breathless enough that you cannot speak phrases or have a conversation. Do HIIT training for 20 minutes, with an additional five minute warm-up and cool-down. There are some specific exercises you can do to strengthen your back that don’t require special machines.  Many of these exercises...

For blooming shrubs, trim them in the winter when they're dormant to prevent stunting flower growth. You can trim non-flowering shrubs anytime except late autumn when any new growth the plant has after trimming won't have time to mature before it goes dormant.  If you're growing a hedge, trim it when the branches look overgrown until about 6 weeks before your area's usual first frost. Avoid doing extensive trimming when it is not your shrub's trimming season. Light trimming to keep it from looking overgrown is fine, but too much may damage your plant. This will make cleanup easier and catch any small branches or leaves that fall on the ground. If you're trimming multiple shrubs, clean the tarp off and move it around as you work through the different shrubs. Set up 2 stakes on each side of the shrub and tie a string between them. Keep the string taut and use it as the height that you'll trim the shrub to. If you want an especially precise measurement, use a level to position the strings to make sure they are even. If the shrub is small and close to your home or siding, you could also use either as a leveling guide as you cut. Avoid cutting below the guideline to keep your leveling job even. When you've finished trimming along the top, examine your work. Check for and cut away any remaining branches that seem out of place. A hedge trimmer is ideal for cutting the shrub's height because running it over the top will give you a smoother finish. The base of your shrub should be the widest part of the plant. Examine the shrub after you have made the top even. If your shrub seems top-heavy, use your shears or hedge trimmer to make it thinner.

For books without covers or to protect your textbooks, make a paper cover for your book. You can cover your books with foreign or old newspapers, old or new maps, sheet music, old wall paper, a brown paper bag, etc.. Unless you are covering a smaller book, you will need a large piece of paper to make your cover. It will need to be at least double the length of your book and three inches taller than the height of your book.

For consistency, it helps to enter the number in consecutive cells in either a row or column, and for readability, a column is better. The MODE function's format is "=MODE(Cx:Dy)," where C and D represent the letter of the column of the first and last cell in the range, and x and y represent the number of the first and last row in the range. (Although different letters are used in this example, you will use the same column letter for both the first and last cell if you entered the data in a column of cells or the same row number for both the first and last cell if you entered the data in a row of cells.)  You can also specify each cell individually, up to 255 cells, as in "=MODE(A1, A2, A3)," but this is not advisable unless you have only a very small dataset and do not plan to add to it. You can also use the function with constants, for example, "=MODE(4,4,6)," but this requires editing the function each time you wish to search for a different mode. You may want to format the cell in which the mode will display with bolding or italics to distinguish it from the numbers in the dataset. This normally happens automatically in Excel, but if you have set up your spreadsheet for manual calculation, you'll need to press the F9 key to display the mode.  For a dataset of 10, 7, 9, 8, 7, 0 and 4 entered in cells 1 through 8 of Column A, the function =MODE(A1:A8) will deliver a result of 7, because 7 appears more often in the data than any other number. If the data set contains more than one number that qualifies as the mode (such as 7 and 9 each appearing twice and every other number appearing only once), whichever mode number is listed first in the data set will be the result. If none of the numbers in the data set appear more often than any other, the MODE function will display the error result #N/A. The MODE function is available in all versions of Excel, including Excel 2010, which includes it for compatibility with spreadsheets created in earlier versions. Excel 2010 uses the MODE.SNGL function, which except for...

For dry herb teas, you will need to use one teaspoon of the herb you have selected. If you are using fresh herbs, then you will need about three tablespoons of the herb. Fresh herbs still have water in them so they are larger than dried herbs. If you are using willow bark, add three to four one inch pieces to boiling water.  Then, cover and boil the tea for 15 to 25 minutes. Place your herbs into your tea infuser and then place the infuser into a mug. If you do not have a tea infuser, then you can just place your herbs in a mug and strain them out after steeping the tea. Pour one cup of boiling water over your herbs and then allow the tea to steep for 10 to 15 minutes.  After time is up, remove the tea strainer or pour the tea through a fine sieve to remove the herbs. It is best to make teas fresh, but you can store in the refrigerator for one to three days. One serving contains about six to eight ounces of liquid. You can drink three to four cups of herbal tea every day.  Don’t go over four cups per day without speaking to your physician, naturopath, or herbalist first.  You can also add a little honey or lemon to your tea if desired.

For equivalency problems that require the quadratic formula, we still begin by using cross multiplication. However, any cross multiplication that involves multiplying variable terms by other variable terms is likely to result in an expression that can't easily be solved via algebra. In cases like these, you may need to use techniques like factoring and/or the Quadratic Formula. For example, let's look at the equation ((x +1)/3) = (4/(2x - 2)). First, let's cross multiply:  (x + 1) × (2x - 2) = 2x2 + 2x -2x - 2 = 2x2 - 2 4 × 3 = 12 2x2 - 2 = 12. At this point, we want to express this equation in quadratic form (ax2 + bx + c = 0), which we do by setting the equation equal to zero. In this case, we subtract 12 from both sides to get  2x2 - 14 = 0. Some values may equal 0. Though 2x2 - 14 = 0 is the simplest form of our equation, the true quadratic equation is 2x2 + 0x + (-14) = 0. It will probably help early on to mirror the form of the quadratic equation even when some values are 0. The quadratic formula (x = (-b +/- √(b2 - 4ac))/2a)  will help us solve for our value x at this point. Don’t be intimidated by the length of the formula. You’re simply taking the values from your quadratic equation in step two and plugging them into the appropriate spots before solving.  x = (-b +/- √(b2 - 4ac))/2a. In our equation, 2x2 - 14 = 0, a = 2, b = 0, and c = -14. x = (-0 +/- √(02 - 4(2)(-14)))/2(2) x = (+/- √( 0 - -112))/2(2) x = (+/- √(112))/2(2) x = (+/- 10.58/4) x = +/- 2.64 By plugging the calculated value of x back into your quadratic equation from step two, you can easily determine if you reached the correct answer. In this example, you would plug both 2.64 and -2.64 into the original quadratic equation.

For every one serving of an acidic food, you should have four servings of an alkaline food. In order for the body to function at optimal efficiency, it must maintain a pH balance of 7.4. Eating additional alkaline foods keeps your body from taking nutrients from other areas in order to neutralize an acid-heavy diet.  If you want to be even more precise, you can invest in a food scale. Weigh each food portion carefully and write down the results in a notebook divided into two acid/alkaline columns. At the end of each day, add the columns up to see how close you got to the 4 per 1 ratio. For example, for lunch you could have a veggie sandwich. Try using whole-grain bread with hummus, avocados, and cucumbers packed inside. Fruit is always a good breakfast option. This will provide you with the maximum nutritional benefit. If fresh produce is not available, frozen is the next best alternative. Canned produce should usually be avoided as it contains high levels of sodium and other add-ons. Not all vegetables and fruits are the same or equal, however. Try to vary your intake of produce so that you get the full array of benefits. Asparagus, for example, assists with the nervous system. Watermelon is helpful for hydration as it is 92% water. Although grains are usually acidic, there are natural options that count as alkaline. Purchase grains that are minimally packaged, the closer to fresh the better. Be creative when choosing grains. For example, amaranth is one that many people aren’t familiar with. It is high in protein, which is unusual for a grain. Quinoa, buckwheat, and millet are other grain options. This is always part of a healthy diet, but when you are mixing food categories, it is particularly important. Most people consume artificial and processed foods in these categories. Consuming foods high in fat and sugar pushes your pH level into acidic territory and can contribute to a host of health problems including diabetes and kidney damage.  Instead of eliminating desserts entirely, you might try making...

For everyday practical purposes, decibels are usually seen as a simple measure of loudness. However, the truth is a little more complex. In physics, decibels are often thought of as a convenient way of expressing the intensity of a sound wave. The larger the amplitude of a given sound wave, the more energy it transmits, the more it moves the air particles in its path, and the more "intense" the sound is. Because of this direct relationship between a sound wave intensity and its volume in decibels, it's possible to find a decibel value given nothing more than an intensity level for the sound (which is typically measured in watts/square meter)  Note that, for ordinary sounds, the intensity value is usually very small. For instance, a sound with an intensity of 5 ×10-5 (or 0.00005) watts/square meter translates to about 80 decibels — about the volume of a blender or food processor. To better understand the relationship between intensity measurements and decibels, let's follow along with an example problem. For the purposes of this problem, let's say that we're music producers and we're trying to find the background noise level in our recording studio to improve the sound of our records. After setting up our equipment, we detect a background noise intensity of 1 × 10-11 (0.00000000001) watts/square meter . In the next few steps, we'll use this info to find the decibel level of the background noise in our studio. Once you've found the intensity of your sound, you can simply plug it into the formula 10Log10(I/10-12) (where "I" is your intensity in watts/square meter) to find its decibel value. To begin, divide by 10-12 (0.000000000001). 10-12 represents the intensity of a 0 decibel sound, so by comparing your intensity value to this, you're essentially finding its relationship to this base value. In our example, we'd divide our intensity value, 10-11, by 10-12 to get 10-11/10-12 = 10. To finish solving, all you need to do is take the base 10 logarithm of your answer, then, finally, multiply by 10. This accounts for...

For example they might ask you a question. Or, the offer to speak might be made through a gesture, non-verbally. Invite yourself to take a speaking turn. There are always small pauses in the conversation as the current speaker reaches the end of her point. Take advantage of the pause to launch into your contribution. However, someone else might try to start talking at the same moment. There is usually a little friendly rivalry before the group decides who should continue the turn. It might be you! As we listen to the ebb and flow of conversation, we find ourselves stirred with feelings, ideas and reactions. Respond to these inner promptings but, at the same time, relate to what has gone before - blend in and blend out. Conversation is very different to written language because it’s like music. It has rhythm, melody, harmony, spontaneity and movement. Qualities that are just as important as the lyrics. Orchestrate your powers of evocation by variations of voice-tone, face expressions and hand gestures. But if they don’t, use conversation moves that let you hold the floor whilst you catch up with what you want to say, for instance: stock phrases, repetitions, "um"s, "ah"s, and other exclamations, hesitations and questions out loud to yourself. Certain teachers used to admonish us about these things (think before you speak); but they were misguided. If your having fun, it doesn’t matter whether it always makes sense. In fact it’s even sometimes necessary to pass through phases of non-sense in order to reach higher levels of sense.

For example, a problem that says "8 is what percent of 32?" indicates that the 32 is the whole amount and the 8 is the partial.  What tips this off:  the 8 connects directly to the "is", while the 32 connects directly to the "of". Example: "8 is what percent of 32?".  Take 8, divide by 32, hit equals; get 0.25; convert that to 25%.     Example: "what percent of 25 is 16?".  Enter 16, divide by 25, hit equals; get 0.64; convert to 64%.     Example: "what percent of 12 is 45?".  Enter 45, divide by 12, hit equals; get 3.75; convert to 375%.  (Answers larger than 100%, while rare, are acceptable).     Example: "9 is what percent of 250?".  Enter 9, divide by 250, hit equals; get 0.036; convert to 3.6%.

For example, choose bluish-red, magenta pink, or purplish-brown. Avoid oranges and colors that are too pale because they can wash you out.  If you have fair or light skin, look for raspberry, mocha, or nudes, especially.  If you have olive or tan skin, look for wine-colored shades or cranberry. If you have a dark or deep complexion, look for metallic shades in ruby red or a deep wine shade. Great options include corals, peaches, and bright reds.  If you have fair or light skin, try red with blue undertones (this will make your teeth look very white, too), coral, pale pink or peachy nudes.  If you have tan or medium skin, go for cherry red, rose, mauve, corals, or berry. Try tangerine, orange-red, copper, or bronze.  If you have a dark or deep complexion, look for browns, copper, bronze, purples, caramel, plumb, or wine-colored lipsticks. If you have neutral undertones, most colors will look good on you. Try to play up your complexion by wearing darker, contrasting colors if you have pale skin, corals if you have olive or tan skin, and berry colors if you have dark skin.

For example, if someone you know asks you if you want to go home with them, you can say “thank you for inviting me.” Acknowledge the request while remaining confident and polite.  If this is someone who should not be asking you for sex because you do not know them or because of your relationship, say “I don’t think that question is appropriate for you to ask me.” You should leave and find a friend. If the request is more vague, for example, if someone is trying to get you to have sex and says "don't you think I'm cute", you should say "that is not what this is about.” Acknowledging their remark will help you seem confident and strong. Do not avoid saying no. It is important to be confident and clear so that they know you are serious. Depending on whether you know this person or not, you can say different things to explain.  If this is someone you are interested in but you don’t want to have sex, you can say “thank you for the invitation, but no, I don't have sex.” Depending on how close you are, you can explain to the person your reasons. If you are with someone you might want to have sex with in the future, you can say “Thank you for asking, but no, I don't want to have sex until I know you even better.” If this is someone who is just your friend, say “thank you for asking, but no, I just want to be friends.” After you say no, you can follow it up by saying "thank you for the dance”. Say this sincerely and explain why you enjoyed yourself. You can say, for example, “I had so much fun seeing this band.” This can distract from the awkwardness and remind them of the setting and situation. If this is someone you do not know, say “have a good night” and then leave. Be nice and genuine when you say this if they have been respectful to you. If you are with someone you know, move on and do something else. For example, you can say “let’s go find our friends”. If you do not know the person and you feel uncomfortable, find your friends or get out your cell phone to show the person that you are busy. If they ask you...

For example, if you want to open a Microsoft Word document, you'd want to open Microsoft Word.  All of the apps installed on your PC can be found in the Start menu, which is usually at the bottom-left corner of the screen. You may have to click All Apps or All Programs to view the entire list. You can also open an app using the Windows Search bar. Click the magnifying glass or circle to the right of the Start button, type app's name (e.g., word), and then click it in the search results. The File menu is usually in a menu bar at the top of the screen. Once you click Open, you'll usually see a file browser.  Sometimes the menu will display an icon of a folder instead of the word File. If you don't see a File menu, look for a menu or button called Open instead. If you don't see the file in the list, you'll have to navigate to the folder where it is stored. You can do this using the folders and drives on the left side of the file browser. This opens the file for viewing and/or editing in the current app.

For example, if you're programming your remote for a TV, make sure that the TV is powered on. Doing so ensures that you won't have to worry about interference from other items when entering your code. The item's button will usually have the name of the item for which you want to program the remote written on or under it. For example, if you're programming your remote for the TV, you would hold down the TV button. Use the remote control's keypad to type in the four-digit code that you retrieved from the RCA Remote Code Finder website. For example, if you're programming the remote for a TV, you would hold down the TV button while typing in the four-digit code from the website. Doing so enters the code. If the programming was successful, you'll see the remote control's LED light flash one time. If you see four flashes instead, your remote encountered an error. Try a different code if the website listed more than one possible code for your item. . Even though your remote control doesn't have a Code Search button, you can enable code searching for any RCA remote. You'll need to do this if you were unable to program your remote for your selected item by entering the code(s) that you found on the RCA Remote Code Finder page.

For example, the capital of Ecuador is just "taquito" without the "ta" at the beginning. That makes "Quito"! The capital of France is the word "pairs" with the "r" and "I" swapped. That makes "Paris"! Use these phrases to memorize the capitals.   The capital of Portugal is the phrase "no basil" spelled backwards without the space between "no" and "basil", and without the "a" in the word "basil". That makes "Lisbon"! Another example: to find the capital of Armenia, you can use the phrase "yer van", which means "your van". Then, add an "e" in the middle and remove the spaces. Now you have "Yerevan!" Try to find a homophone for as many capital cities as you can. For example, the capital of Taiwan is Taipei. Taipei is a homophone of the personality type "Type A".

A couple of the best, most secure proxy sites for blocking Facebook include the following:  Proxy Site Instant Unblock This list will change from year to year since proxy sites are constantly moving domains or getting shut down. Before entering any information on this site, you'll need to make sure it's safe. If the site isn't legitimate, it may steal your Facebook login information. Depending on your selected proxy site, the search bar location will vary. Doing so should take you to the Facebook homepage, from which you can log into your account as usual. If your network doesn't let you access Facebook, it might not let you access a proxy site either. You can get around this by opening Facebook in your selected proxy service before you get to work, though this won't help if you're using a work desktop.

For example: "He gave a book to me"––now, substitute "a book" by the pronoun "it"––He gave "it" to me. Now this needs to be dealt with as double object pronouns. In the basic Italian discussed here, "to me" (indirect pronoun) should come first, then "it" (direct pronoun) and, at last, the "gave" verb that in Italian includes "he" as its ending. Hence, this become in Italian: to me-it-gave, that is, me lo dà  Me is the new form of mi when used in a double object pronouns sentence.  mi + (lo, la, li, le) : mi becomes me. ti + (lo, la, li, le) : ti becomes te. Le + (lo, la, li, le) : Le becomes glie. glie attaches to the direct pronouns it precedes. For example,  glie + lo becomes glielo. glie + la becomes gliela, and so on.    gli + (lo, la, li, le) : gli becomes glie. glie attaches to the direct pronouns it precedes. For example,  glie + lo becomes glielo. glie + la becomes gliela, and so on.    le + (lo, la, li, le) : le becomes glie. glie attaches to the direct pronouns it precedes. For example,  glie + lo becomes glielo. glie + la becomes gliela, and so on.    ci + (lo, la, li, le) : ci becomes ce. vi + (lo, la, li, le) : vi becomes ve. Loro does not change and comes after the verb. loro does not change and comes after the verb. si + (lo, la, li, le) : si becomes se.

For example: a six foot tall object (2-yards) which is eight Mils in size is 250-yards away. 2 x 1000 / 8 = 250.    Sub-divide the Mil Dots as much as possible, and be as accurate in estimating the size of the object as possible.     The object is five feet (1.67-yards) wide and spans 2.8 Mils is 596-yards away.     A guess that the object is 2-yards instead of 1.67 would mean the estimation of over 100 yards difference which could mean a hit, or a miss of over five inches with a standard .308.     To be in the right mindset, calculate sizes of objects to the tenth of a yard (is that 3.4-yards or 3.5?). Calculate the span in Mils also to the tenth of a Mil. Both of these will take practice, but perfect estimations is the only way to get perfect range calculation. Some equations might get pretty complex, and accuracy is key, but the speed of a calculator may also help in some situations.

For general, everyday use, you want to look for a primer that matches your complexion or is just a tiny bit lighter. This will look the most natural if you forego eyeshadow and just do a liner and it won't alter the shade of your eyeshadow by adding pigmentation.  If you're doing a smokey eye or a dark eyeshadow, look for a darker primer to add depth to your look. If you are using multiple colors and really want them to pop, try a white primer. You can also use a clear primer for the most versatile option. Since primer is a base to even out your skin tone, it should really be matte or transparent, rather than shimmery.  Consider color correcting primer if you have dark circles or want to brighten your eyes. Primers with a yellow or peach cast will neutralize the purples, browns, and "bruise" shades of under eye circles. A primer with a little bit of green can neutralize pink or reddish skin. Matte primers are great for everyday use, because they tend to last longer and give you a more neutral base for your eye makeup. Even if your skin is not oily, eyelids tend to get a little greasy throughout the day, and the matte finish will help absorb the grease and keep your makeup in place.  A satin or shimmery finish works when you are wearing no shadow over your primer or plan to use a sparkly eyeshadow. Keep in mind these don't have quite the staying power as a matte primer, and that you shouldn't use a matte eyeshadow over a shimmery primer or it will look off.  If you have very dry skin, try a gel-based primer or one that illuminates skin.  Matte primers work with both matte and shimmery eyeshadows--they allow you to add all the shine using the makeup, not the primer.  Matte primers are especially effective in hot and humid weather, because it will keep the grease and shine under control. Primers come in gel, cream, liquid, or stick form. The texture of your primer will influence how it feels on your lids and how long it will last. Gel primers usually last the longest and can be worn with all types of eyeshadow....

For good measure, tip your pack upside down over a bin and shake it to get any bits of trash out. Only when your pack is empty will you have an adequate sense of what it can accommodate. If you’ve organized your pack in the same way for a long while, emptying it out completely can help you imagine new ways to organize it more efficiently. Even if your backpack feels light when you first pack it, it will start to feel heavy after a few hours of hiking. Go through the items you plan on putting into your pack, and find the heaviest ones. Decide whether or not you really need them for the trip.  For instance, if you have a cooking pan you really like but rarely use, it might be a good idea to leave it at home. Consider replacing it with a lighter pan instead. How much your backpack weighs in the end depends on what you can personally carry and endure. Different people can carry different amounts of weight. When organizing an internal frame backpack, the area at the bottom should be reserved for light material, while the medium-weight stuff should be packed on top of it. The heaviest things should be packed in the middle of the forward-most area of the backpack. In other words, the heaviest items should be against the area that actually touches your back. Similar to an internal frame backpack, you want to start with the lightest items first. After that, you want to add the medium-weight items, and finally, the heaviest. Tuck them as tightly as possible against the forward-most area of the pack. The goal in both modes of organization is to center the weight on your hips so that you can more easily maintain balance. Items that you might use or need at any time – insect repellents, snacks, rain ponchos, and so on – should be placed in outer pockets. That way, you can grab and use them easily without having to stop, unpack, find the items, and repack. If your backpack doesn't have many outer pockets, keep the more useful items towards the top. Leave the items you seldom use towards the bottom. Here is where you can...

TL;DR in Russian:

Достаньте все из походного рюкзака. Дотошно подходите к решению, какие тяжелые предметы упаковывать. Если у вас рюкзак с внутренней рамой (каркасом), поместите более легкие предметы ближе ко дну. Складывайте вещи от самых легких до самых тяжелых в рюкзак с внешней рамой. Поместите полезные предметы в доступные места. Складывайте предметы друг в друга, чтобы сэкономить место. Используйте отделения рюкзака по назначению.


For guitars that use nylon strings, lubricating your strings is unnecessary. Nylon strings are already corrosion resistant. If you have a guitar that has steel strings, however, you'll want to use some lubricant to keep them from getting sticky, dirty, and corroded. You can check the product packaging for the strings you have to find out what they're made of. If you do not have the product packaging anymore, a good rule of thumb to follow is to consider the kind of guitar you have and the genres it's made to play. Acoustic and flamenco guitars that focus on classical and folk music usually possess nylon strings; electric and bass guitars associated with blues, country, and rock and pop music are more likely to have steel strings. You can use the same rag that you used to clean the grime off from before by flipping it over and using the clean side. If you feel it's too dirty and the oils from your hands have sunk into the "clean" side, then you can use an entirely new rag for this portion of the cleaning process. You will want to select a lubricant that doesn't contain a petroleum base when treating your guitar; these can have penetrating properties which may cause damage to your guitar over time.  Dunlop Lemon Oil, Tone Finger-Ease String Lubricant, or GHS Fast Fret are all commercial oiling products you can buy that are made specifically for guitars. If you need something cheap and readily available, you can try olive oil, baby oil, or Vaseline.  You never want to apply the lubricant directly to the strings as there is a good chance you'll get excess grease on the fretboard which will be difficult to clean up. Position and fold the rag the same way you did when removing the grime and run the cloth or towel from the bridge and saddle area to the the nut. Apply pressure to both sides of the strings using your fingers. When done properly, the strings should end looking noticeably shinier. They should also be oily and smooth to the touch.

For heavy power lifts, such as bench press, 5 sets of 5 reps works really well for boosting your ability to lift more. Competitive weight lifters will even do sets of three, two and one reps in order to max out. Start your routine off with the bench press. Again, low reps and higher weight are best. After you've done the heavy lifting, finish off your chest, tri, and shoulder exercises with lower weights and higher reps: 10-15 reps per set works really nicely. Too many people let the bar bounce off their chest. While this usually isn't harmful to your chest, it keeps your triceps from staying activated and working during the whole rep, thereby resulting in less strength. Think of it this way. Bouncing the bar off your chest on the downstroke is like putting training wheels on your bike during the most wobbly stretch of the ride. If you're trying to become a faster biker, you'd do better to ditch the training wheels altogether. Strong triceps are the not-so-secret ingredient to a stronger bench. The pushup is a much more natural movement that gives your shoulder blades a degree of movement not afforded by simple bench press. Pepper your bench press with triceps workouts such as dips, skullcrushers, lying triceps extensions, triceps pushdowns, and a whole host of other exercises. With your back arched, your shoulders activated, and your feet firmly planted on the ground, your glute muscles become especially important. Activate them when benching. With a firm, stable bum, your body will be able to reinforce the torque your chest, triceps, and shoulders are pumping into the bar, thereby strengthening your overall benching ability. Similarly, keep your glutes on the bench when pressing. Don't lift your butt into the air. This is not only dangerous — it shifts unnecessary strain onto your neck — but also weakens your overall bench. You want your calories for your body to build bigger/stronger muscles and eventually be able to handle your ideal bench weight. If you must do cardio, eat food to replace the calories lost.

TL;DR in Russian:

Попробуйте уменьшить число повторений и увеличить вес на штанге. Сначала делайте жим штанги, а затем изоляционные упражнения со средней нагрузкой. Опускайте гриф на грудь чуть выше нижней ее части.

For individuals who lead a largely sedentary lifestyle, or anyone who works at a job which requires them to remain seated for multiple hours, gravity can draw fluids into the lower extremities of your body. This can lead to water retention in your feet, ankles, and legs. Avoid this by walking frequently throughout the day. Keep your blood circulating, and your lower extremities will not retain water.  This also occurs during long plane rides, during which passengers remain immobile for many hours. If you're on an international flight, plan to stand up and stretch or walk around at least a few times. If you're concerned that you may be retaining water in your feet, ankles, and lower legs, you can elevate the swollen parts of your body. This will let gravity drain some of the retained fluid from your feet and allow fluid to distribute through your body. For example, if your feet are swollen in the evening, recline on a sofa or bed with your feet on a pillow. If you find that your feet and ankles regularly retain fluid while you are sitting down or standing—for example, at work—you can purchase a pair of compression support stockings. These exert pressure on your feet and lower legs, and don't allow fluid to build up in these areas. Support socks or tights are relatively common. You should be able to purchase a pair at your local drug store.

Ходите и двигайтесь на протяжении дня. Поднимите и сожмите отекшие конечности. Носите компрессионные чулки.


For instance, if it's a design position and it's always been your dream to be the head of a design department, think about how those two are connected. Connect what you're doing now with what you want to be doing. One thing that you want to do with this step is prove that you are in it for the long haul. A manager will not want to hire you if she or he thinks you are going to be leaving in a year. Therefore, show that you plan to be there for a while. However, if you are talking about how you want to advance, make it known that you don't expect to advance for a while, and you plan to prove yourself and work your way up. Finally, put together your answer. Talk about how it connects to your career as the conclusion to what you have to say. Keep it concise. You don't want to ramble on too long.   For instance, you could say, "I've always wanted to manage a small design department, so I would plan on proving myself in this position so that I could advance in the long term." Remember this part is just the final portion of your answer. You need all three parts included in this article to make a complete answer.

For instance, kiss him when he says yes to being your boyfriend, but then for the first week or so settle with hugging and holding hands. If he wants to kiss you, go ahead!  If he kisses you, don't make it a passionate kiss the first time. You want him to be interested in kissing you again, so only give him a little taste the first time. Don't let him pressure you into anything. Relationships are about mutual respect, not one person getting something the other isn't comfortable with. At the beginning of a relationship, some people think it's a brilliant idea to make a pact that they'll still be friends when we break-up. Don't do this.  This gives the guy a sense of security, so generally he won't be heartbroken to lose you. Plus, it's weird to talk about breakups in the beginning. How do you know what you'll be feeling when you break up? You just don't know. Talk about happier things. Instead of talking about the relationship, just be in the relationship. This will help the guy out. Sometimes, it's better and easier to act instead of talk. Guys need some space. Just because he's hanging out with his friends doesn't mean he doesn't like you, or that he likes someone else.  Let him see his friends. Don't become clingy. Yes, spend a substantial time together in the afternoon or weekends, but let him see his friends at school. If he never makes time for you, however, that's a warning sign. Make sure that he gives you enough time. He should want to be with you if he's in a relationship with you, you might just have to tell him that you need him to pay more attention to you. Don't get upset every time he talks to another girl. Guys are allowed to talk to other girls, just not flirt or go over the line with them. Trust him until he gives you a reason not to. Don't obsessively talk with him all night on social networks or MSN. If you don't talk to him every second, it will make him want to talk to you even more!  Spend most of your time talking in person or on the phone. It's okay to call him every other or every...

For jobs in elementary and secondary school administration, you will complete a job search as geographically broad as you like. In post-secondary administration, you will generally wait for open positions in your institution, or if you have some administrative experience or tenure as a professor, you can seek open positions at other institutions.  Try using online websites devoted to jobs in education, like www.topschooljobs.com run by Education Week. Keep an updated profile on www.academia.edu and www.linkedin.com, and network with professionals at other institutions to locate open positions. While the application process can vary, there are certain things you need to have ready to simplify the process.  Most applications are done online, so you will need access to high speed internet service and the ability to upload relevant documents. You will need a cover letter, which you should customize to each particular job. You will need a resume. The process can be nerve-wracking, but you have done so much work to gain the experience and skills needed for this position; remember that you are qualified and dedicated.  Hiring boards will ask you to present a professional portfolio if you are considered for a job, which is where all the previous experience will come in handy. Bring your professional portfolio to every interview, which you have ideally already created through the years as you gained educational and teaching experience. You will also take part in interviews. The interview will be with school directors and supervisors. For university positions, you will interview with the dean, the provost, and/or a search committee organized by the dean or provost and comprised of other faculty members from your institution.

For many people, migraines and the subsequent symptoms—including nausea—are triggered by sources that they can control or reduce their exposure to. Keep track of what you were doing shortly before your migraine came on over the course of several attacks, and see if you can find a consistent trigger. Common ones include:  Emotional or physical fatigue due to stress or exertion Abrupt changes in weather Altitude Motion such as from travel Poor sleep Missing meals Certain smells Hormonal changes, such as in menstruating women Specific foods and beverages, including aged cheese, chocolate, red wines, coffee, beer, etc. (also, certain food additives such as monosodium glutamate and nitrates) Your doctor will be able to provide prescriptions to a wide selection of different medications that have shown efficacy in managing nausea and other migraine symptoms. These medications often require trial and error to discover which combination works best to control your symptoms.  If you are vomiting at least three times a day, you need to see your doctor. Vomiting too much will predispose you to fluid and electrolyte imbalance. Be sure to see your doctor if you develop a worsening headache. A bleeding blood vessel might be causing the problem. Visit your doctor if your migraine headache is accompanied by fever, stiff neck, seizures, double vision, numbness, difficulty in speaking, and other unusual manifestations. Triptans are some of the most common prescription drugs used to treat migraines. They constrict blood vessels and block pain pathways to your brain to alleviate various symptoms of migraines. They are available in various forms—such as pills, nasal sprays, and injections—and the medications include:  Sumatriptan (Imitrex) Rizatriptan (Maxalt) Almotriptan (Axert) Naratriptan (Amerge) Zolmitriptan (Zomig) Frovatriptan (Frova) Eletriptan (Relpax) To deal directly with the nausea from your migraines, you can also ask your doctor about anti-nausea medications. He or she will likely prescribe one in combination with a...

For math, science, and similar tests, you should have an idea of which concepts the teacher will be testing your knowledge of. Put all of them down on paper so you can check off the ones you learn. This also gives you a way to organize the concepts in your head.  Find some practice problems. Some good places to look are your textbook, on pages you didn’t do in class or homework, or the review section in the back of the book. A study guide would be ideal for this as well. If you don’t have anything to give you practice problems, you may have to write your own. Though this is more time-consuming, it may help you learn the concept. To write a practice problem, after all, you have to have some understanding of the concept or formula. It is a good idea to go ahead and see how close you are to understanding the theory. This will save you from wasting time on a problem you could already almost solve. Prioritizing your time will mean that when you get stuck, you will have less to look up in your notes and textbook.   After you get stuck, use your notes to work through the problem. Graded homework is another good place to find solutions to problems like the one you’re working on. After you have used your notes to solve the first practice problem, try another one. The goal is to be able to solve each kind of problem without help from your notes. If you can get it on your second or third try, then you can move onto the next concept. Repeat this process until you have mastered the concept. Go down your checklist using the book as you need it to solve practice problems. You want to move quickly down the list, but make sure you are internalizing the formulas you need. It will be much less stressful later on if you have taken the time to memorize everything at first. Writing your own test or study guide will help you in more ways than one. First, you have to think about and work through a theory or formula in your head in order to come up with a practice problem. Second, going back through and solving the problems makes you...

For most of the pregnancy, the female should maintain the same well-balanced, high-quality diet as prior to the pregnancy. Once she begins putting on weight (around the final five weeks of the pregnancy), then adjust her diet according to the weight gain. This can mean up to 35-50 percent more daily food in the final days before whelping. Introduce the increased food in the form of more frequent, smaller meals rather than simply adding more food at standard mealtimes. Problems with whelping are so common with English bulldogs that it's usually appropriate to plan an elective C-section. In fact, your veterinarian should provide a full examination of your bitch to clear her for free-whelping (natural birth) before you even consider foregoing a C-section. Consult with your vet about the ideal date to perform the C-section based on when you mated the bulldogs and schedule the procedure well in advance. Also, check in advance that your vet will perform an elective C-section. You should start getting your bulldog accustomed to a whelping box several weeks before the expected due date of the litter. Provide a roomy box with low sides. Line it with plenty of newspaper and provide a small shelf that the puppies can roll under to avoid getting rolled on by the mother.  Place the box in an environment that is warm, dry, quiet, still, and away from other dogs. It is entirely normal for the female to begin nesting in the lined newspaper as she becomes accustomed to the whelping box. Even if you have planned a C-section with your vet, it is beneficial to allow the female to nest in a whelping box. You should keep several other items on hand to prepare for when your bulldog goes into labor. Have a heat lamp or heating pad with a low setting, feeding bottles and puppy-suitable artificial milk (in case the mother rejects the puppies), and lots of clean towels and bedding. You should also keep clean scissors if you need to cut the umbilical cords, unwaxed dental floss to tie off the puppies’ umbilical cords, and iodine to...

For most species of frog, males are noticeably smaller than females. Tree frogs generally range from 1-5.5 inches (3-14 centimeters) depending on the precise species.. Females are typically about half an inch longer and slightly heavier than males of the same species. The reason for this has to do with the way frogs mate. Males have to climb all the way onto females' backs to mate, so the female has to be larger so that the male's weight doesn't hurt her. Since male frogs do the vast majority of the croaking (more on this below), they usually have specially-constructed throats designed for this purpose. Most male frogs (including tree frogs) have something called a "vocal sac" on their throats. This sac can inflate full of air like a balloon when the frog croaks. When the frog isn't croaking, the deflated sac may make the skin on the throat seem more thin and baggy than on female frogs. In addition, the skin of the vocal sac will often be a different color than the rest of the underside. Yellowish or black shades are common. Instead of having ears that stick out from their heads like humans, frogs' ears are flat discs of skin on the sides of their heads behind their eyes. These discs are sometimes (but not always) a different color than the skin around them. Male frogs tend to have ears that are larger than their eyes. By contrast, female frogs tend to have ears that are about the same size as their eyes (or slightly smaller. Male frogs (including tree frogs) often have special features on their hands and arms that make it easier to cling to female frogs' backs for mating purposes. For example, male frogs sometimes have a patch of rough, raised flesh on each of their thumbs. If the thumb seems to be larger and thicker than the other digits, especially at its base, the frog is probably a male. This feature may be difficult to see except in the breeding season, when it enlarges in time for mating. There are many other external features that can vary between male and female frogs. A few of these are listed...

For most women, cramping goes away after a few hours or a day. For others it can be a serious problem that interrupts regular life. If this is the case for you, the cramping may be a signal that a reproductive problem is actually what's causing the pain. See a physician if you experience the following:  Cramping that forces you to stay in bed rather than going to school, work, or completing your regular activities. Cramping that lasts more than 2 days. Cramping so painful that it causes you to have a migraine, feel nauseated, or vomit. Your physician will probably conduct tests to determine if you have a disorder that is causing your cramping to be abnormally severe. Do some research on the following reproductive disorders:  Endometriosis. This is a common condition in which the uterine lining is partly outside the uterus, which leads to a lot of pain. Fibroids. These are small tumors that can grow on the uterine wall and cause pain. Pelvic inflammatory disease. This is a type of infection that can cause severe pain.

For problems revolving around stressful, complex situations like getting fired, losing your apartment, or having your car break down, the best place to start is by staying calm. Don't panic or let yourself feel like the whole world is ending. So far, you've managed to get past every other problem in your life and the sun keeps rising; we are 100% sure you can make it through this one too. When you're struggling to stay calm, a good technique is to focus on your breathing. Breathe in and out slowly until you feel more calm and ready to do what you need to do. The more you know about the situation you're in and the options you have available to you, the better able you will be to deal with whatever the problem is. Do a little Googling, talk to people who have dealt with problems like this before, and really think about what Plan C is instead of getting locked into Plans A and B. For example, let's say you've lost your job. Instead of panicking about what you're going to do now, go to your local unemployment office. They'll have counselors who will help you file for unemployment and help you find resources for getting a new job quickly (like a resume makeover). Everyone has resources available to them in times of crisis. Sometimes these resources come in the form of money or time. Sometimes they come in the form of friends or family who really know what they're talking about. Sometimes the resources you have available to you are harder to see however. Even your personal qualities (such as intelligence or determination) can be hugely helpful in getting you through this. For example, if you know you have strong interpersonal skills, then you know you can use those skills to help solve your problem. Just because there might not be an obvious way to use them right now doesn’t mean that the opportunity won’t arise. Once you've gotten as much information as you can and know what resources are available to you to make it happen, make your battle plan. There's a reason the military has generals: going in with a plan,...

For projects like painting a tile wall or a ceramic vase, use a liquid paint that you can apply by hand. Opt for epoxy paint to get a glossy, highly durable and long-lasting finish. Alternatively, acrylic and latex paint aren’t as durable for high-traffic areas as epoxy, but are easier to find and work with. Keep in mind that epoxy is more expensive than most other kinds of paint. For ceramic tile, thoroughly scrub the area you plan to repaint with an abrasive cleaner, and wipe it down until it's clean and dry. For pieces of pottery and dishes, simply wipe down the surface of the item with a wet rag until it’s clean of dirt and debris. Alternatively, you can also use a clean sponge to gently scrub off any caked-on dirt or stains. For dishes and pottery, sand lightly by hand with a piece of steel wool. For ceramic tile, affix 180 or 220-grit sandpaper to an orbital sander and sand your tiles down carefully. Be sure to wipe up any dust with a wet rag after sanding.  The sandpaper creates microabrasions in the glaze of the dish or tile, allowing paint to stick more easily. Your goal is to remove any extra gloss remaining above the ceramic itself, without damaging the ceramic. Use a spray or oil-based liquid bonding primer for the tile, and coat it with light, even layers. Let each layer dry in between painting coats to ensure that the paint will stick. If the primer looks gritty after 2 or 3 coats, lightly sand the surface with a piece of steel wool. Let the primer dry for 12-24 hours before continuing with the project. Dip a roller or paint brush into the paint and dab it on a piece of cardboard or a tray to remove excess paint. Move the brush or roller in diagonal lines in small sections to coat the ceramic. Once one section is coated, move to the area to paint diagonally until the surface of the ceramic is covered. Once the paint is dry, use a 220-grit sandpaper to lightly sand the paint. Hold the sandpaper in your hand, and focus on areas where you have ridges or drips from the paint. If you’re sanding a...

Для окрашивания керамической плитки или крупных гончарных изделий выберите латексную, акриловую или эпоксидную краску. Тщательно отмойте керамику водой с чистящим средством. Обработайте поверхность керамики наждачной бумагой, чтобы удалить имеющееся глянцевое покрытие. Покройте керамику двумя тонкими слоями грунтовки. Последовательно закрашивайте небольшие участки поверхности, двигаясь зигзагами. Когда первый слой краски высохнет, слегка затрите его наждачной бумагой. Нанесите второй, а затем уже и финишный слой краски, работая в этот раз длинными вертикальными мазками. Позвольте окрашенной керамике просохнуть в течение 2–3 дней, прежде чем начинать ею пользоваться. Чтобы сделать окрашенную поверхность глянцевой, покройте ее бесцветным уретановым или эпоксидным лаком.


For puppies and dogs older than 6 months who have previously been healthy, you can withhold all food for up to 24 hours if the primary symptoms are vomiting or diarrhea. This also includes treats and rawhides. Never withhold water from a sick dog, unless he vomits it up. If this happens, contact your veterinarian for advice. After you withhold food for 24 hours, and your dog is behaving more normally, you can gradually introduce a bland diet for 1-2 days. A bland diet for a dog includes one part easily digested protein and 2 parts an easily digested starch.  Typical protein sources include cottage cheese or chicken (no skin or fat) or boiled hamburger. A good starch is plain cooked white rice.  Feed your dog one cup daily (split into 4 servings 6 hours apart) per 10 pounds of weight. Make sure your dog gets plenty of rest by restricting how much exercise and play time he gets. Take him out on a leash to relieve himself, but don’t let him play while he feels poorly. This is especially important if he is limping. Pay attention to how much your dog is defecating and urinating while he is ill. If you normally let him outside by himself, use a leash while he’s ill so that you can watch how much he urinates or defecates. Do not punish your dog if it has an accident inside the house—stool, urine or vomiting. They cannot help it if they are sick and may hide from you if they are punished. Make sure you keep a very close eye on your dog, in case the symptoms get worse. Do not leave your dog on his own. Do not leave him alone for the day or weekend. If you must leave the house (for example, you need to go to work), have someone check on your dog every 2 hours. If you can’t arrange this, call your veterinary clinic to see if they do monitoring in the clinic. Symptoms can worsen quickly, or new or more serious symptoms can occur rapidly. If you’re unsure about your dog’s symptoms, or if he seems to be getting worse, call your vet for advice.

For several days or up to a week after surgery, you will need time to rest and recover from the procedure. During this time you should avoid all strenuous activity, and avoid any activities that may cause strain or discomfort to your eye. After your surgery, you will need to keep the eyes as clean as possible until the retina is fully healed. To do this, your doctor may recommend:  taking extra precaution in the shower to avoid soap from entering the eye  wearing an eyepatch or eye shield to protect the eye  avoiding touching or rubbing your eye Many people experience itching, redness, swelling, and discomfort following retinal surgery. Your doctor will most likely prescribe eyedrops, or recommend over-the-counter eye drops, to treat these symptoms. Follow the instructions your doctor or pharmacist gives you for proper dosage. Some people experience blurred vision after retinal surgery, which can last for many months in some cases. This is typically the result of a scleral buckle changing the shape of the eyeball. If you experience blurred vision, your doctor may prescribe new glasses to correct the problem. Once you've completed retinal surgery, you will most likely be unable to drive a vehicle for several weeks. Many people experience blurred vision after undergoing retinal surgery, and you may be forced to wear an eyepatch for several weeks.  While your eye is healing, your doctor will recommend that you avoid driving until your vision improves and your condition becomes more stable.  Avoid watching television or staring at a computer screen for prolonged periods of time. This may cause eye strain that could further complicate your recovery time. You may also experience sensitivity to light after the surgery, and may find it difficult to look at electronic screens. Reading for prolonged periods may also be difficult.

TL;DR in Russian:

Посвящайте достаточно времени отдыху. Следите за чистотой глаз. Пользуйтесь глазными каплями. Следите за своим зрением. Не водите автомобиль и не напрягайте восстанавливающийся глаз.


For some people, college is first and foremost an opportunity to let loose. For others, academics are the sole priority. Many people are probably somewhere in between. Wherever you stand, there will be others like you. Don’t feel pressured to drink or do anything else you don’t want to do. That being said, remember that college is the time when you learn how to be your own adult. Make choices that line up with your values and make you happy. Remember that sometimes, you and your parents or other authority figures may disagree, and that's okay. Sharing a room is challenging, especially if you have never had to do so before. Start off on the right foot by talking about how the space should be used, and respect those decisions once they are made.  This includes decisions about both the physical space and behavior. Where do you stand on drinking in the room? Having parties? Hosting overnight guests? Try to hash out an agreement, and consult your Resident Advisor (RA) if you cannot. If problems come out, communicate your concerns. It doesn’t help to be passive aggressive or let things fester. Your roommate is probably not doing things to bother you intentionally, so give them the benefit of the doubt and see if you can work things out.  Even if you and your roommate get along great, it is a good idea to spend some time apart. Make sure you aren’t sticking to them to the exclusion of making other friends. Whether you can’t stand your roommate or are best friends who are constantly gabbing, you might find it helpful to identity a place outside of your room to study, be it the library or a local coffee shop. If all else fails, know that you are learning valuable people skills that will help you deal with difficult individuals in the future. If you feel threatened by your roommate or your roommate is engaging in any illegal behavior, talk to your RA. You may be able to switch rooms. At the very least, you will have a record that you reported the activity and weren't a part of it. College offers new freedoms, but it...

For some reason, fleas don't relish the taste of garlic. So prepare a your favorite Italian dish, or make Moules Marinieres, and sop up all that garlicky goodness with some garlic bread. Don't give any garlic to your dogs, however, as garlic is toxic to them. Fleas dislike citrus smells. Slice a lemon into thin pieces, add it to some water and heat to a boiling point. Let it sit overnight and, in the morning, spray it onto areas where you suspect fleas hang out (the ankles and the arms especially). This should help prevent future flea bites and make you smell nice in the bargain! Several essential oils help ward off fleas because of their strong smell. Use this to your advantage. Create tinctures or mix the essential oil directly onto your skin for relief from fleas.  Use eucalyptus oil on problem areas. Eucalyptus oil is another offensive smell for fleas. Take a little bit of eucalyptus oil, mix it into a spray bottle with some water, and spray onto ankles and arms. Use lavender oil on problem areas. Lavender oil, like eucalyptus oil, is offensive to fleas. Apply as you might eucalyptus oil. Use cedarwood oil on problem areas. Alternately, sprinkle a few cedar chips in your pillow, at the base of your bed, etc. to discourage the fleas from living in the area. Solve flea problems naturally.

For some reason, lots of people think bringing a to-go cup of coffee to a job interview is a great idea. To an interviewer, this looks informal at best and disrespectful at worst. You're not on your lunch break, so treat yourself to a latte after the interview, not before. Even if the interview is early, or you might end up waiting a long time to get through with it, don't show up with a cup of coffee. The plus side is you won't have to worry about spilling it. Biggest faux-pas of the mobile phone age? Using yours in a job interview. Never ever take your phone out and look at it at any point in the job interview. As far as your interviewer is concerned, you should be a troglodyte who's never even heard of an app. Turn your phone all the way off, keep it in your car, and never, under any circumstances, give the interviewer the impression that a text message takes precedence over getting this job. In the interview, it's not the time to ask about benefits, the possibility of a raise, or really even bring up the topic of money. If you're applying for a job, it's time to focus on your skills and qualifications. Sometimes, you'll be prompted to provide a base salary requirement for the job. The best answer for this is that you're willing to work for the lower end of the average salaries for your position. Express that you really want the job and that you'll be fine with what's being offered in the legal limit. Never get defensive in an interview, even if you feel like you're not getting on perfectly with the interviewer. It's supposed to be a conversation, so try to assume the best in people. Nobody is trying to antagonize you on purpose. Treat it as a chance to prove yourself and come up with a good explanation, not a defensive snark. Making petty comments about previous coworkers, superiors, or other job in general should be avoided. Even if you're applying for a rival business, avoid painting yourself like someone with a grade, or like someone who'll be difficult to work with. It's bad form to gripe about your...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не приходите с кофе. Отключите звук на телефоне и уберите его. Не говорите о деньгах. Рассматривайте собеседование как разговор, а не как допрос. Не критикуйте предыдущего начальника. Не курите и не употребляйте алкоголь перед собеседованием. Не бойтесь показать себя.


For some shoes, you may want to consider actually making the shoes smaller by wetting them and then allowing them to air-dry. This can get great results if done right, but it's important to note that it carries a small risk of damage to your shoes, so always check the care label inside the shoe before beginning. See below for directions.  First, get your shoes wet. For leather or suede shoes, use a spray bottle. For casual/athletic shoes, soak the shoes in water. Let the shoes dry in the sun. If it's not sunny, use a hairdryer on the "low" setting. Be careful not to hold the hairdryer too close to the shoe — some fabrics, like polyester, are vulnerable to burning and/or melting. When your shoes are dry, try them on. You may need to repeat this process several times if they're still too big. If you're worried about your shoes shrinking too small, let them dry on your feet so that they will form around them as they constrict. Condition fine suede or leather shoes after they dry. Conditioning kits are usually sold at shoe stores and sometimes drug stores. This trick is handy if you have some experience with sewing. Stitching elastic bands into the inside of your shoes pulls the material together, giving a tighter fit. All you need for this is a short elastic band for each shoe, a needle, and thread. Use a fairly strong set of bands if possible.  Stretch the elastic band along the inside of the back of the shoe. A good spot for this is the inside of the heel, but any loose area will work. Sew the band in place, keeping the elastic tight as you go. Safety pins can help here. Release the band. When you let go, the elastic band will draw in the material of the shoe. This should give it a "smaller" fit. You can use method this with the water shrinking method or one of the tricks above if needed. When all else fails, you can always see a professional. Cobblers (people who specialize in working with shoes) were once common, but they are somewhat rare today. However, the internet can make them a little easier to find....

For some, past lives are not so much a place you go, but part of who you are. Many cultures throughout mankind's history have held reincarnation as central to their beliefs. While Islam and Christianity don't believe in re-incarnation, Hinduism, some Jews, and Buddhists do. The best thing to do is not to completely devote yourself to a religion, as religions can be very restrictive; but rather to discover your own path. Find your own spiritual truths.

TL;DR in Russian:

Исследуйте вопрос с точки зрения религии.


For some, the "only" way to eat spaghetti is with a fork and spoon. If you want to do this, use a standard dinner fork and a spoon that's a little wider and flatter than you'd normally use for other foods. If you don't have one, a standard spoon is fine.

TL;DR in Russian:

For street vendors there are two basic pricing options, to price your product cheaply and hope to sell a large quantity of it, or to price your product at a premium and hope that the quality speaks for itself. Customers, in general, want a discount, and to feel as if they're getting a good deal when they buy something from a vendor, or that they're getting something special that they couldn't get anywhere else, and are willing to pay more for it.   Lower prices are beneficial because you've already done the customer the service of bringing the product to them. You're out on the street, in a convenient location for them to access, and offering a product at a cheap price. If it's too close to the operating cost, however, you'll be close to breaking even unless you sell a lot of whatever it is you're making or providing.      Higher prices can drive business away unless the product is very good. If you're selling watches, for example, they'll need to be relatively cheap, because customers might just think, "Why not go to a store and buy something for face value." If you have a super-unique item, like a homemade organic popsicle, people might be willing to shell out a bit more.    Whatever you're selling should be easy for the customer to understand, featuring simple pricing and an easy access to the product. If you've got a complicated list of features and levels of pricing for your various taco toppings, it's going to make people less willing to come up to your booth. If, written huge on your sign, you have "$2 Tacos," people will get the picture. Even if you're just selling some cheap jewelry off a blanket, you need to treat it like a serious business and act with the same professionalism and seriousness you'd take to a 9-5 job. Look the part, be fair, and treat your customers with respect. You want to develop a reputation as a serious vendor who can be trusted, not as a sleazy person who can't be trusted. People won't line up right away. At the end of your first several days, you might be somewhat frustrated...

TL;DR in Russian:

Установите соответствующие цены. Не усложняйте свою торговлю. Будьте профессиональны. Не отступайте. Подумайте о безопасности.


For the base, use a flat piece of cardboard, plastic, or a thick cutting board. It can be in any shape - square, circle, or heart-shaped, provided it's solid and pretty. Some stores sell cake bases that could serve as a suitable base for the cupcake stand. These are usually very cheap to buy and come already wrapped in gold or silver foil. Cover the base with wrapping paper, foil or another type of covering to improve its appearance. This step isn't necessary if the base is already in great condition and looks nice. Basically, choose plates and platters that are lightweight and strong. They should ideally decline in size as they go up the stand, so choose something like a dinner plate for the first layer, a side plate for the next layer, a cake plate for the next layer and a saucer for the final layer.  Match the plates or mix them up. If you have plates with pretty patterns, eclectic matching won't matter. Plain white or silver platters are always a safe bet when you want a neutral look. For the top layer, where you place only one layer, an unwanted CD is a clever item to use. You can leave it unwrapped (but do wash it first in warm, soapy water), or cover with paper or fabric. Here is where you get to have quite a bit of artistic license. Choose whatever is strong and likely to look nice. Most importantly, the item must be safe for use around food, it must not take up too much room on the plate, it must be balanced and it must decline in size as it goes up the layers, just like the plates do.  Some great examples of things to use as pillars between the layers include: a glass, cup, eggcup, fabric-covered cleaned out can, vase, sugar bowl, etc. An example of layering could be: First pillar vase, second pillar a glass, third pillar a sugar bowl and final pillar an eggcup. Place the base layer down in the area where it'll stay. This stand won't be moved once made. Add the first pillar. Then carefully balance the next layer. Continue adding pillars and balancing layers. Anytime something seems wobbly or...

For the first week or two, you will need to check your glucose levels very often to help you fine tune your insulin pump for your needs.  Check your BG (Blood Glucose) levels eight to ten times per day for the first one to two weeks. You or your doctor may need to adjust settings like your basal rate, target ranges or sensitivity factor to treatment based on your checks. Your doctor may be able to give you a glucometer and prescribe you test strips in order for you to check you blood glucose levels frequently. Your body handles insulin treatment differently while you’re sleeping, so you need to check your levels often until you have your settings just right. Some people have hyperglycemia at night.  One symptom of this is nocturia, which is increased nighttime urination.  Check your blood glucose levels right before bed and again when you wake up. Check your levels midway through your night’s sleep or every three to four hours of sleep. Discuss your readings with your doctor to ensure your overnight basal rates are set correctly. Even after you have your settings right, you should still check your blood glucose levels in evenings.  Your body may change how well it handles the treatment and you may require alterations to your dosages or treatment plan.   Check your blood glucose levels before you go to bed to help prevent high or low blood glucose levels while you’re asleep. Check your levels when you first get up to make sure your blood glucose levels are high enough. Occasionally check your blood glucose levels in the middle of the night to make sure you are still on the right course of treatment. Low blood glucose can occur when you make changes from the normal activity accounted for in your treatment plan.  Be conscious of the things you do that may affect your body’s insulin levels.  Accidentally taking too much medication designed for diabetes treatment can dramatically lower BC levels.  Skipping meals or eating less than usual can cause your blood glucose level to be lower than intended. Exercising more...

For the most part, cats are very good at keeping themselves clean. You should really only need to bathe them if they get especially dirty, or if they have a condition that requires you to bathe them more often. Your vet will advise you if your cat needs to be bathed often. Brushing your cat regularly is a good way to keep it clean without giving it a bath. Brushing removes knots, mats, and debris from your cat’s fur. It also can improve the health of your cat’s skin overall, by helping to stimulate blood circulation, and getting rid of dead or loose fur and excess grease and oil.  Use a brush designed for cats, and be gentle. If you find a mat or knot that cannot easily be brushed out, carefully trim them out. Regular brushing to remove dead or excess hair can also help keep your cat from coughing up hairballs from self-grooming. When brushing, monitor your cat’s skin and hair for signs of excess shedding, fleas, ticks, or skin infections. If you notice any of these things, or anything abnormal, talk to your vet. Instead of immediately putting your cat in the bathtub if you notice some dirt on its fur, simply use a dampened washcloth to wipe it away. Not only will this prevent the drama that can sometimes come from trying to bathe a cat that doesn’t want to be bathed, it can also help prevent excess skin drying from bathing your cat too often.

TL;DR in Russian:

For the most part, litter training is fairly hands-off. Some guinea pigs will take to the litter box and others will not. When starting, try to see if the guinea pig approaches the litter box on its own. Many guinea pigs will realize they're supposed to eliminate in the box. With luck, your guinea pig will take to its litter box right away. If your guinea pig is unsure of the box, place a small amount of hay in the box. The guinea pig may be enticed to enter the box by the hay. If it smells any lingering feces or urine, it may then realize its supposed to eliminate in the box. Some people advocate leaving food in the box. The guinea pig will eat and then eliminate. This method is only likely to work if you've seen your guinea pig defecate or urinate near its litter box before. Many guinea pigs will not eliminate near a food source to avoid contamination. If your guinea pig starts using its box, change the litter regularly. Try to change it about every three days. A guinea pig will not eliminate in a dirty litter box. Only wash the box every other week. You want some of the scent to remain intact so the guinea pig knows to use its litter box.

For the most part, you should be able to get toiletries at your destination, either from the hotel or from a local drugstore. But if you have things from home you want to bring (or just to save money by not having to buy anything when you arrive) transfer your lotions and shampoos and liquids into travel-sized containers. If you are flying and bringing a carry on bag, make sure to check the TSA regulations for liquids. For a 5 day vacation, you should easily be able to pack all your clothes and necessities in 1 bag or suitcase. Getting everything into the same space will help you stay organized as you put things into your bag. If you are packing for multiple people, try keeping luggage and piles of clothing/toiletries separated so you don't get confused and misplace something. Tightly rolling clothes helps prevent wrinkles and saves space in your luggage! Follow this technique: lay the item of clothing flat, then fold the bottom 2 inches (5.1 cm) of the item inside out (this will create an envelope/pocket). From the opposite end of the fold, roll the item tightly until you get to the pocket. Then, fold one side of the pocket over the roll to secure it.  You can also pack socks and underclothes inside of shoes to save space. Pack shoes, toiletries, and other heavy items at the bottom of your bag. This will keep them from wrinkling or damaging your clothes. If you have an iPad, Kindle, or something similar, you can download books and magazines to read without taking up essential room in your luggage. A lot of magazine subscriptions offer free electronic access, too, so check into that option if you already subscribe to a magazine! If you are going to bring a physical book with you, consider taking one you wouldn't mind leaving behind. This will at least save you some room on the way back (or give you space for a souvenir or 2). This will save you time and energy when you get on the plane. Keep a small bag inside your carry on that contains what you want for your flight (a book, magazine, pen, paper, headphones,...

For these purposes, a picture is considered light if it weighs 5 lbs (2.25 kg) or less. Also consider the standard humidity of the room when choosing this method. If the room is frequently humid and the walls are often moist, this method will not work well, since moisture will cause the adhesive bond to weaken quicker. Before you attach an adhesive to a plaster wall, you need to clean the surface of the plaster to strip away any oils and dirt. Dry the plaster thoroughly when finished.  Adhesive glue will not stick to a surface that is rough, dirty, or damp. Thoroughly drying the wall is important for the sake of the adhesive, but plaster is also fairly porous, so mildew and similar problems may develop if you allow it to stay damp. As such, drying the wall after washing it is twice as important. There are a few different ways you can clean plaster, but the simplest is to use warm water and mild liquid dish soap. Soak a non-abrasive washcloth in warm water, then place a bead of mild soap on the cloth. Work the soap into a small patch of suds on the cloth. Rub the area of your wall down with your soapy cloth. Scrub gently, using a circular motion. Rinse the cloth in warm water, then use it to wipe away any soap residue on the wall. Use a dry non-abrasive washcloth to wipe away all the moisture on your wall, using a circular motion again. Be as thorough as possible. A simple adhesive picture hook should be enough to hang a light picture, but these hooks come in different shapes and sizes. When selecting one, look on the front or back of the package to determine whether or not the hook you've chosen is sturdy enough to support the weight of your picture.  Keep in mind the side of the picture loop or wire hanging off the back of the frame. You should try to choose a hook thickness that this loop or wire will be able to fit onto. Extremely light pictures without frames might hang on the wall will nothing but a piece of double-sided tape. Similarly, moderately light pictures without frames might be able to hang...

For this belt, the beginning of the pattern should start with two Gs; it should not be cut off in the middle or begin at any other point in the pattern. There should be no screws in the hardware of the belt buckle. The background of the belt should be beige and the GG design should be blue or ebony. The inside of the belt should be black leather. For every two GG patterns, there should a hold for the belt buckle inside the second G. On this belt, the buckle is comprised of a regular G and an upside down G. The normal G has a matte finish, while the upside down G should have a metallic black finish. The inside of the belt should be a suede material. The “double G” logo should be perfectly printed over the entirety of the belt. This model should have screws on the back side of the belt buckle. Inspect the back of the belt buckle and see if there are noticeable screws. The size of the belt should be included in the serial number, and not imprinted anywhere else on the belt – fakes often have the size printed on the leather of the non-buckle end. The stitching should include the “double G” logo printed all over the entire belt. The inside of the belt is suede. Authentic Gucci belts should not have a button holding the belt buckle in place. This is a clear sign of a fake.

For this clip, you remove the hair from just the underside of the neck and belly. This is common on ponies living out and only ridden on the weekends. Hardy ponies may not need to be rugged with this clip, unless the weather is very bad. Hair is clipped from the underside of the neck and belly up to where the traces would be on a driving pony. As the name suggests, high trace clips remove the coat up to a higher line than the low trace clip. The lower half of the head is also sometimes clipped. The legs are left unclipped. This clip is appropriate for horses who are turned out during the day, and perform moderate work on a regular basis. A line is draw from the poll (top of the head) to the belly to make a triangle shape, everything under this is clipped. Often half the head is also clipped. The legs are left unclipped. This is done on horses who perform light work and are turned out during the day. This is similar to a trace clip, but the neck is fully clipped and the head is half or full clipped. The legs are left unclipped. This is good for horses that work heavily, as it removes hair where they sweat but leaves enough to keep them warm simultaneously. All the hair is removed, except from the legs to give some protection. Some hair is sometimes left on the back in the shape of the saddle, and less often girth, to give protection from saddle rubs.  Because most of the hair is removed with this clip, careful watch must be taken to make sure that the horse does not become too cold. For this clip, the entire coat is clipped off. This is done on show horses who are heavily involved in competition, to give them a sleek coat that sweat can evaporate off of easily. A full clip should only be done if the horse is not turned out during the winter or at night.

For this example, we used a simple black background with the word "FIRE!" in Arial Black on a second layer. It's important that the text be on a different layer than the background. If you're using an existing document, work with a copy of the original. Drag the original text layer to the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers window. Once duplicated, click on the Fx menu at the bottom of the Layers menu, and select Outer Glow. In the resulting Layer Style window, change the glow color from yellow to white, and Opacity to 100%, as shown: Click the OK button. Your image should now look like this: From the Filter menu, select Blur > Gaussian Blur... Photoshop will prompt you with a warning that this action will rasterize the type layer, and that you will not be able to edit the actual text if you proceed. OK the warning, and set the blur so that it looks something like this: Note that if your text layer is larger or smaller than our example, the actual Radius setting will vary. The example was done using 72pt type. Click on the Smudge tool (below the Gradient tool), then click on the brush settings at the top of the window. In the resulting smudge tool adjustment window, use these settings: With these settings, you're going to "draw" the fire. As with any kind of brush work in Photoshop or other graphics applications, the use of a tablet is recommended. Using the smudge tool, brush from the letters outward, to give the appearance of flames. Short, quick strokes will give you the best result, and if you're using a brush, vary the thickness by pressure. Your fire should look as shown: When done, duplicate the smudged layer. From the Filter menu, select Blur > Radial Blur..., and in the resulting window make the following settings: While subtle, this will give your fire an additional burst of energy From the Image menu, select Grayscale. Once again, Photoshop will issue a warning that this will flatten the image, and can have an effect on your image. Click the Flatten button to continue. From the Image menu,...

For this experiment you will need a fresh, uncooked egg, a drinking glass, a dissolving solution such as white vinegar or a cola beverage, and 4-5 days of patience. The drinking glass needs to be large enough for the egg to touch the bottom without touching the sides of the glass.  You can also use a plastic cup or container to hold the egg, but clear containers allow you to observe the experiment over time. Use a fresh egg because an older egg will float in the liquid. Before you begin, examine your uncooked egg for cracks. Gently place the egg in the bottom of the glass taking care not to crack it. Pour enough vinegar (or cola) over the egg until it is completely submerged in the liquid. The chemical reaction between the acetic acid in the cola and the calcium carbonate in the eggshell causes the shell to dissolve. Cover the top of the container with foil or plastic wrap and place it on a shelf of the refrigerator where it will remain undisturbed. Keep it out of the way so it doesn't get knocked around. After the first day, you should see the frothy residue of the shell on the surface of the liquid. You will also see that parts of the shell still remain on the egg. The shell takes at least 2 days to fully dissolve and may take up to 3.  Gently pour out the vinegar taking care to keep the egg from falling out of the container. Carefully roll the egg back down to the bottom of the container and refill it with vinegar. Place the egg back in the refrigerator and leave it alone. After at least another 24 hours, remove the egg to check its progress. If there are no white spots or areas that look like shell left on the egg, the dissolving process is complete. Gently pour out the vinegar and catch the naked egg in your hand. See how it feels.
