. After writing a draft, it's absolutely essential to go back over your letter and clean it up on the sentence level and beyond. All good writers know that a piece of writing doesn't happen until it's revised. Once you've written your letter, you've got the hard part done, but you've still got to save enough time to clean it up and make it good.  Revising is more than cleaning up your typos and spelling errors. Give your letter a whole second look and make sure that the subjects and verbs are all in agreement, that your meaning is clear, and that your letter accomplishes what it needs to accomplish. Once you've gotten the writing as successful as possible, it's ok to start proofreading and looking for "late concerns," the last-minute things, including fixing typos, spelling errors, and formatting your letter. Introductory letters, in general, should not be longer than the front side of one page, or between 300 and 400 words. Whatever the reason, it's likely that you're writing to someone who's got a lot of paperwork to go through in a given day, and won't want to sift through an especially long, over-written introductory letter. It'd be a shame to end up with all your hard work in the garbage, so it's important to keep it short. Only focus on communicating the most important information in your letter. Letters need to be oriented on the page correctly, featuring a distinct introduction, body paragraphs, and a succinct conclusion. If you turn in a single whooshing paragraph with no contact information or salutation, you're not going to get the job, or get an introduction.  Include a CV or resume as appropriate, following the introductory letter. The intro should be the first thing in any application packet. Include good contact information. Going through the final edit of the introductory letter, make sure that important contact information is included, generally in the top right-hand corner of the header. Include your email address, phone number, and other basic contact information. Some business writing...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проверьте и вычитайте свое письмо. Пусть письмо будет простым и сжатым. Придайте письму правильный формат. Подумайте над тем, чтобы добавить постскриптум.


. All but the most hardened cynics like someone who can make them smile and laugh. That's why being funny is a huge part of using your personality to be awesome. The good and the bad part about comedy is that there's no one way to do it. That means that you can develop your own sense of what's funny by being totally original, but it also means that there's not really a "how-to" manual for being funny.  Be funny with words. Puns and wordplay are a great way to be awesomely funny because we use words all the time. Consider these examples of great wordplay:  "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go." - Oscar Wilde.  "Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses." - Dorothy Parker.   Use physical comedy to get laughter. Physical comedy can include impressions of other people, learning how to mime, or slapstick comedy. Pick one, experiment with it, and try incorporating it into your funny routine. Tell great stories. We think people who tell great, comedic stories are funny because we live for stories. Stories make us feel human, and so someone who can tell a great yarn delights us. Learn the basics of storytelling to feel even more awesome than you already are. Being adventurous means turning  everyday opportunities into excuses to find adventure. Remember, you don't need to be Indiana Jones to be adventurous; you just need to be willing to take the road less traveled every once in a while.  Travel to new, interesting places. Traveling doesn't need to mean dropping lots of money or taking lots of time. Try going someplace close you've never been. You'll learn about new places, have a new notch under your belt, and will get a chance to convince the locals there how awesome you can be. Learn about unexpected things. Being adventurous can also mean taking a journey of the mind. Now, that sounds cheesy, but it's absolutely true. The most awesome people in the world travel to novel, exciting, distant places in their minds as well as on their feet. Don't be afraid to break away from the pack...

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте веселым. Будьте отважны и предприимчивы. Откройте свою внутреннюю шикарность. Выражайте свою шикарность через чувство стиля. Будьте хорошим человеком.


. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, treat the firearm as if it is loaded, and keep your finger off the trigger.  Pull the slide back and visually and physically (stick your finger in there) check that there aren't any cartridges in the magazine well or in the chamber. Be double-sure your firearm is unloaded. You do not want an unexpected boom while stripping your firearm.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обращайтесь с вашим оружием безопасно. Достаньте магазин. Освободите патронник от патрона. Убедитесь, что то место, на котором вы разбираете оружие полностью освобождено от ненужных предметов.


. Be nice when you talk to other people. Acknowledge them and be positive in your interactions. Don't lie or talk about them behind their backs. Basically, treat them the way that you would want to be treated! . Be polite when you talk to people. Importantly, be polite to everyone. Always. Even when they're rude to you. Say things like "please" and "thank you", and let them finish speaking before you start talking. You should also be patient with them. Just like you have a hard time interacting with people, they might too (or even have other problems, like disability or mental illness). Act in a way that would make your grandmother proud and you should be set. . When you talk with people, be humble. Don't brag or spend a bunch of time talking about yourself. This makes people not like you and not want to talk with you anymore. Give everyone a chance to talk and don't try to one-up them when they tell you something. e friendly. Be friendly when you talk to people. Don't seem disinterested or like you don't care about them. Keep eye contact, smile, listen, and project a positive mood (even if you're in a bad one). . Be respectful to everyone you interact with. Give them a chance to talk, don't say or do anything insulting, respect their differences, and generally treat them the way that you would want to be treated. . The most important part of interacting well with others is to listen to them. It's a lot less about how much you say or how you say it, and mostly down to how you respond to the things that you really hear them say. Practice your basic listening skills, as well as your ability to read between the lines, and you'll be interacting like a pro in no time!

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте приветливы. Будьте вежливы. Будьте скромны. Будьте дружелюбны. Уважайте людей. Слушайте.


. Before you begin treating a boil, it is important to make sure that what you have is actually a boil. Boils are caused by an infection of your hair follicles with Staphylococcus aureus. They are contagious and they can spread to a different part of your body or to someone else who comes into contact with your boil.  Boils may be mistaken for cysts or have cysts beneath them, which requires treatment by a doctor.  You may also mistake a boil for acne, especially if it is on your face or upper back. Acne has a totally different treatment than boils, so make sure that you are sure first. If the problem area is your genitals, then it is more likely that you have a sexually transmitted disease than a boil. If you are unsure about what you are looking at, then see a doctor for a diagnosis. As soon as you notice a boil beginning to form, you should begin treating with hot compresses. The sooner you begin treatment, the less likely it is that complications will occur. Make a hot compress by holding a clean washcloth under hot water until wet, and then squeeze out the excess moisture. Press the warm, damp cloth gently onto the boil for five to ten minutes. Repeat three to four times a day.  The hot compress does several things to speed up the healing of a boil. Firstly, the warmth increases circulation to the area, helping to draw antibodies and white blood cells to the site of the infection. The heat also draws pus to the surface of the boil, encouraging it to drain faster. Lastly, the hot compress will help to relieve pain. Instead of a hot compress, you can also soak the boil in warm water if it is on an area of the body where it's convenient to do so. For boils on the lower body, sitting in a hot bath can be helpful. As the surface of the boil softens and fills with pus, it may be tempting to burst the skin with a needle and drain the contents yourself. However, this is not recommended as it can cause the boil to become infected or the bacteria within the boil to spread, causing multiple boils. With continued...

TL;DR in Russian:

Убедитесь, что это действительно фурункул. Приложите горячий компресс к абсцессу. Не прокалывайте и не выдавливайте нарыв дома. Промойте прорвавшийся абсцесс антибактериальным мылом. Нанесите антибактериальный крем и наложите на абсцесс повязку. Продолжайте делать горячие компрессы до тех пор, пока нарыв полностью не заживет. Обратитесь к врачу, если нарыв не прорвется в течение двух недель, или если появятся признаки инфекции.


. Being a leader will gain the respect of your peers. Leaders are involved in school activities and work to make positive changes in their school or community. Leaders are also good role models, are confident, and are prepared for all situations. Give your best effort, stay positive, and be friendly and fair.  To show your peers you are a leader, you can become the captain of a team or club, join the student council/government, or offer to tutor others in areas you excel in. If you are too shy to lead a club or team, you could become an expert in a certain subject. Your confidence could help mark you as a leader. When people recognize that you are active in school teams or groups, they  will respect your efforts and see you as a leader. Try out for the soccer team, join the chess club, or become a member of the drama club. If you don't see a club that you like, ask your school if you can start one up. Some schools will have you create a petition and get signatures from other students. . People who are open-minded earn more respect than those that are close-minded and think their way is the only right way to do something. Accept that people come from different backgrounds, religions, and cultures, and while these factors may make people different, they don’t make them better or worse than anyone else. One way to show that you are open-minded is to show interest in other people's backgrounds and ask them questions. If you are an asocial person, then you may have a hard time getting the respect you may feel you want from your fellows and peers. Try to find out what you may have in common with your peers, such as strong organizational skills, a talent for basketball, or a love for sci-fi.  Take small steps to relate to others, such as commenting on a classmate’s shirt if it has your favorite band logo on it. Another way to show kids you relate to them is to show empathy. For example, if a classmate is upset over a bad grade, think about how you would feel in that situation. Say something like, “I know how...

. Boil 1 cup (237 ml) of water in a kettle, pot, or microwave. For the recommended measurement of instant coffee, refer to your particular brand’s directions. But generally, mix the boiled water in a mug with 1 to 2 teaspoons of coffee granules. Add your desired amount of sugar. Depending on the size of your mug, the amount of milk you wish to add, and your own personal tastes, reduce the amount of coffee and/or water as needed. Pour your desired amount of milk into a microwave-safe dish or a small pot. Heat it until it reaches a boil. Remove from heat once it begins to bubble and rise. Times may vary depending on the amount of milk used and your microwave. Generally, it should take less than a minute. Transfer your milk into a sealable jar or similar container. Use one large enough so that the milk only fills it halfway at most. Seal the container tightly to avoid spills and scalds. Then shake the container hard for twenty seconds or until a froth forms. Pour the liquid milk into your mug. Use a spoon to stir it into your coffee. Then scoop the foamed milk out of the container and top your drink with it. Sprinkle cinnamon and/or nutmeg over the froth if desired. Then drink up!

TL;DR in Russian:

Приготовьте кофе. Нагрейте молоко. Приготовьте пенку. Добавьте молоко в кофе.


. Boil the asparagus spears in a pot of water for 3-5 minutes, depending on their thickness. When the spears are bright green and tender, place them into an "ice bath": a large bowl 2/3 filled with cold water and ice cubes. The ice bath will "shock" the asparagus to stop the cooking. Soak the asparagus for as long as it took to boil. Drain your spears using a colander or a paper towel.  Serve blanched asparagus spears in salads, or eat them on their own with dressing and seasoning. For a simple and tasty dish, add a bit of coarse salt and a drizzle of olive oil to your asparagus before serving it. Blanching is a great way to prepare asparagus for storage if you plan to eat it later. If you are blanching asparagus in advance, or you plan on bringing it to a picnic or potluck, refrigerate the spears in a paper towel-lined plastic bag. . Stir-fry tends to include a variety of vegetables, and asparagus isn't an unheard-of addition to the mix. Add to any stir-fry as long as the asparagus goes well with the ingredients. If you have picky children, a stir-fry can be a great way to get them to eat asparagus. You can easily put in some shredded chicken and small chunks of vegetables, and they may not even notice the asparagus. . Wrap bacon around pieces of asparagus and put them into a pot. Use more oil than than you would in a stir-fry. Fry for 10 minutes and serve on a plate. Be careful not to over- or under-cook the bacon. Be prepared to clean the dishes very well, as they may grow greasy and messy. . Cream of asparagus soup is an elegant starter or lunch dish, and you can prepare it in 50 minutes. The soup is hearty enough to be a main dish, but you can also serve it as a side. To serve four:  Cut the tips from 12 asparagus spears, 1.5 inches from the top, and halve the tips lengthwise if thick. Save the tips to garnish the soup. Cut the stalks and all remaining asparagus into 1/2-inch pieces. Sauté one large onion, chopped, in 2 tablespoons butter in a 4-quart pot over moderately low heat. Cook, stirring, until...

. Breathing has long been a central part of yoga.  Focusing on your breath before, during, and after yoga sessions will greatly benefit anger management. Breathing deeply is also good for other negative emotions, as it physiologically calms you down. Make sure to breathe deep into your diaphragm. You should be able to feel/see your belly rise and fall while doing this.     Breathe out slowly. The time taken to breathe out is approximately four times the time taken to breathe in. Take time to relax your muscles from head to toe, one by one. This will help release tension in parts of your body you may not have realized were even there. Don't rush. Take your time. If you feel like you are having trouble slowing down, then you can also do a guided body scan meditation that will take you through all the parts of your body. This is not about thinking about the anger. Rather you just need to stay with the emotion. Feel all of it. Notice where you feel it in your body. Notice the intensity. Don't judge the feelings. If thoughts do arise, acknowledge them and then return to noticing your emotions. Stay with it as long as you need to. Eventually, with all the mindful noticing, the anger will begin to dissipate. If it begins to dissipate, don't fight it. Instead, try to let it go. Try focusing on your breathing instead of focusing on what you are angry about.

TL;DR in Russian:

Дышите глубоко Расслабьте свое тело. Прочувствуйте свой гнев. Позвольте гневу присутствовать.


. Broccoli prefers soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. You can test the soil and add different nutrients to adjust its acidity. Be sure to test the soil periodically throughout the growing process. In addition to pH, the soil test results will tell you if your soil lacks any important nutrients, which you can add with soil amendments.  Your local agricultural extension office should have soil testing forms, bags and instructions available. If your soil's pH level is below 6.0, add acid compost or planting mix. If your soil's pH is above 7.0, mix in granular sulfur. If your soil test reveals you have low quality soil, or if your soil drains poorly, there are several things you can do to ready your garden for planting broccoli:  If your soil is prone to flooding, consider building a garden planter box to raise your soil above the ground. If possible, use cedar wood to build your planter box, as it does not rot when exposed to water. To increase the fertility of your soil, mix up to four inches of mature compost into your soil. If your soil is in particularly poor condition, also add a high-nitrogen organic fertilizer to enrich the soil. Organic fertilizers like alfalfa, cottonseed meal, and manure are good choices for planting broccoli. While broccoli prefers full sun, it will tolerate some shade. For a summer harvest, sow seeds two to three weeks before the last spring frost. For a fall harvest, direct sow seeds outdoors 85 to 100 days before the first fall frost.  Alternately, start your seeds indoors. If you choose to start your seeds indoors, plant them in peat pots or other small seedling pots. Keep them in a sunny room. If sowing seeds indoors, you can plant them earlier and transplant them to the garden 2 or 3 weeks before the last frost. If you plant them in separate pots or tray containers, you won't need to thin them later. Organize your plot into rows about 36 inches (90 cm) apart. Dig holes every 12 to 24 inches (30 to 60 cm) along each row. Place a few seeds in each hole and cover with soil. ...

. Buy a bag of apples, preferably Red Delicious or Granny Smith apples, as they work best for this project. You'll also need semi-sweet chocolate, wooden sticks or skewers, cellophane wrap, and the toppings of your choice (peanuts, coconut, cookies, etc.).

Many people like homemade jam because it tastes fresher than the store bought kind, and not so many people make jam anymore. You can also make chutneys, salsa or other foods and if you're feeling ambitious, can the food. This can make your food gifts last a year or more. Given along with some muffins, homemade bread, biscuits or other pastries it will be a welcome gift. Just find the ingredients you like, mix together, seal in a bag or container and give with a big mug for drinking. This is a great gift for families as you can give each person an individual mug. This is also a great just in case gift to keep at the house for a last minute hostess gift or that person you accidentally forgot. Easy to transport, it's great for giving at the office or school. Combine vinegars or oils with rosemary, garlic or other herbs or spices, and pour into a decorative bottle and cork. There are many methods for doing this available online.

. Carpets collect and absorb a variety of items that can produce foul odors, such as soil, pollen, pet urine, and food. In addition to vacuuming regularly, you can also eliminate nasty smells by deodorizing your carpets every few months. You may purchase a deodorizing powder or create your own.

. Cherry tree flowers are either white or pink in color, and they do not have a scent. They grow in clusters, with each flower stalk emerging from one central point. Cherry tree flowers also have long stamens that poke up from the flowers.  This distinct clustering flower growth pattern is a key way to distinguish cherry trees from trees with similar traits. For example, peach trees grow single flowers, and almond tree flowers grow in pairs. Cherries are likely to flower early in the spring. They produce clusters of pale green berries later on in the spring. On cherry trees, each single flower has 5 petals. Semi double flowers have 6 to 10 petals, and double blossoms have 10 petals or more. Cherry tree petals each have a small cleft, while plum petals are rounded. Cherry tree styles are the long tubes that connect to the flower’s ovary, distinct from the stems. The ovary is the part of the tree that becomes the fruit. Each cherry tree blossom has only one style.  Some trees, like crab trees that flower, look a lot like cherry trees. However, in flowering crab trees, each flower has four to five styles. Apple and pear trees have two to five. Mespil trees have five. If you look more closely at the tree and notice that the flowers are attached to only one style, that’s a good sign it’s a cherry tree. Ornamental cherry tree varieties do not produce fruit. Fruiting cherry trees have hanging fruit that grows in pairs or clusters. The fruit hangs where the flowers did before. The fruit will be small, pale and green in late spring. In late summer, the cherries get larger and redder. Some cherry trees produce fruit that is yellow or black instead of red.  If you take a close look at the fruit, you should be able to distinguish cherry trees from other fruiting trees, such as cherry plum trees or apple trees.  Cherry fruit is rounder in shape than either of these. A good rule of thumb is that if the fruit is smaller than ¾ of an inch, it is probably a cherry. Cherry plums and regular plums are usually bigger, about 1...

. Clean all of the rice used for this recipe by quickly rinsing it in cool, clean water. Drain the water and save only the rice.  To rinse the rice, pour it into a large glass bowl and cover it with three times as much water. Use your hands to gently move and scrub the rice while it is submerged. Pour the rice and water through a fine mesh colander to drain it. Set the rice aside until needed. Pour the vegetable oil into a large stockpot with a heavy bottom. Set it over medium heat on the stove. Give the oil 30 to 60 seconds to heat up before continuing. Toss the minced garlic, diced onion, and sliced ginger into the hot oil. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes.  The three ingredients should become lightly toasted and very fragrant. Temporarily remove these three ingredients from the pot after you've released their flavors into the oil. Place them in a separate dish and set them aside. Place the cut up chicken in the same stockpot and no more than 1/4 cup (60 ml) of water. Cover and cook over medium-high heat for 5 to 10 minutes.  Occasionally stir the contents of the stockpot during this step to prevent the chicken from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Continue cooking until the chicken has released enough liquid to produce an approximate total of 1 cup (250 ml) liquid at the bottom of the stockpot. Toss the previously sauteed ginger, onion, and garlic back into the stockpot. Add the soy sauce and fish sauce, as well. Stir everything together to distribute the flavors more evenly. Cook on medium-high for another 2 minutes. Add the remaining water to the stockpot. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.  The chicken pieces must be completely submerged in liquid. After you reduce the heat, the liquid should still continue at a gentle simmer. Cover the stockpot and simmer over low to medium-low heat for 2 hours. Taste test the liquid after you've finished simmering it. If necessary, add more fish sauce or soy sauce to suit your personal flavor preferences. Use tongs or a slotted...

. Confidence is one of the most irresistible personality traits a woman can have, so the first step to being irresistible is to learn to love yourself, warts and all!  Think about it -- how can you expect a man to think you're beautiful, smart and cool if you don't believe that you're beautiful, smart and cool? Stop worrying about your flaws and focus on all of the things you like about yourself -- make a list or repeat positive affirmations if it helps! Another good tip is to "fake it til you make it." This means pretending that you're full of confidence even if you feel shy or nervous inside. Eventually the confidence will come naturally! . Having a good sense of humor is always a good thing, especially on the dating scene. Nobody wants a Serious Sally. Plus, you'll look more attractive when you're laughing or smiling.  Having a good sense of humor doesn't mean that you have to be a stand-up comedian (although the ability to make a guy laugh is a bonus). You should at least be able to laugh at yourself and not take life too seriously. Imagine a guy accidentally spills his drink on you. Do you scream at him for ruining your dress, then storm away? Or do you laugh it off and tell him he can buy you a drink to make it up to you? Which version do you think a guy would find more attractive? (Hint: It's the second one.) . Sometimes girls think that acting mysterious and aloof will make them irresistible to men, but this is misguided. If you want a man who's kind-hearted and genuine, it's safer to play nice.  Being nice means being polite and courteous and not treating a would-be suitor like something you'd wipe off the bottom of your shoe (unless the guy's being a total jerk). If you end up in a conversation with a guy, try to avoid talking about yourself all the time. Express an interest in him and try to really listen to what he's saying. This boosts his ego, unconsciously making him more attracted to you! Even if you're not interested, you should try to turn the guy down gently. Think about how you'd like to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте уверены в себе. Работайте над чувством юмора. Будьте милы. Будьте остроумной. Будьте собой.


. Confidence vs arrogance is very important. You need to show her that you like you and think you're worthwhile as a person, but you don't want to come across as that guy that's just in love with yourself. Build your confidence by taking on challenges and giving yourself the opportunity to do things that you can be proud of. . Flirting can be tough, especially if you're inexperienced and she's gorgeous and gets flirted with all the time. If you learn to compliment her on the right things, break from the player transcript, and focus on her, though, you'll be getting a date before you know it. . Starting conversations with people you don't know can be difficult. Don't worry, though: like a lot of things, it's a learned skill. You don't have to come by it naturally. . Dating strangers doesn't have the best likelihood of introducing you to a fulfilling experience with a woman. If you're tired of relationships that are unsatisfying, try meeting someone who's really right for you. ! When you are finally ready to ask her out, make sure you do it right. You don't want to say something offensive, rude, or creepy and ruin all that hard work you put in!

. Constipation is the number one culprit behind hemorrhoids. Therefore by avoiding constipation you can significantly reduce the chance of hemorrhoids developing. To avoid constipation:  Drink plenty of fluids.

Sitting and standing both put pressure on your lower veins, so try to avoid doing either for long periods of time.  If you work sitting down, make sure to take regular breaks where you stand up and walk around. The opposite goes if you work standing up. While watching TV, reading or sleeping, you should lie on your left side, as this helps to increase blood flow in the lower half of your body. . Kegel exercises (which are designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles) also help to increase blood flow to the rectal area and strengthen the muscles around the anus, making hemorrhoids much less likely.

That is because there are many different ant species that all have different habits and behaviors which can affect the treatment needed to get rid of them.  Look at the ants in your kitchen and note their characteristics. Some characteristics to look for are their size and color. Ants in your kitchen are most likely either pharaoh ants or pavement ants, but it is possible they are a different species.  Once you know some identifying characteristics about the ants, do some online research to correctly determine the species of ants in your kitchen, and some of the best methods recommended for eliminating that species. Follow the ants that are already in your house for a few minutes, and try and find the spots where they are entering your home. Look inside the house around windows, doorways, and cracks in the floor, but also outside the house around doorways, windows, siding, and accent lights. If any ants are coming in and out through these points, focus on these areas in your cleaning efforts to ensure the ants don’t enter through these points. Once you have identified a trail and entry points from which the ants are entering your house, try and notice the trail that the ants follow out of your house. You will see that they all follow the same trail. That is because when they enter your home, they leave a scented trail behind them for the rest of the colony to follow. It won’t always be easy to find an ant nest, but if you do identify its location, you can spray the ant hill with a poison spray, or attack the ant problem at the source by baiting the ants in your house to take poison back to the nest, and kill the colony.

. Cut the mango into halves or thirds while avoiding the large pit. Then, make vertical cuts on the piece you're holding. Be careful not to cut through the skin. Now make horizontal cuts to create a checkered pattern. Grasp the skin on the back of the half and push it forward.  The chunks you cut should come out, making the mango piece look like a flower. Next, just pull off the mango chunks. If they don't give, use a knife to slice them off into a bowl or a spoon to scrape them off. Place the cubed mango in a bowl, grab a spoon, and enjoy! If you want to save the cubed mango for later, put it in Tupperware, but recognize that it's best enjoyed fresh and will get soggy if you put it away for a while. Add a touch of lemon juice to the mango for zest. Cubed mango can be a fantastic addition to any fruit salad. If you don't want the salad to be overwhelmed by mango juice, drain the mango chunks before adding them to the salad. Here are some suggestions for making a delicious mango salad: :  Make a salad with papaya, apples, and cantaloupe. Make a salad from mangos and pineapples. Add a pinch of cinnamon for flavor. Make a salad of mangos, pears, and a few cherries sliced in half. Eat a salad of mangos and oranges with a touch of lime juice. Though you may think mangos work best in fruit salads and desserts because of their sweet and juicy flavor, they can add a perfect kick to almost any main course. Here are a few examples of ways to use mango chunks in main courses:  Create mango salsa just with papaya, avocado, a little bit of lemon juice, and some cilantro. You can put the salsa over chicken, beef, or shrimp, or just use it for potato or plantain chips. Put the cubes of mango in a burrito. Use the mango in Caribbean rice or any other foods with a Caribbean flavor. Mangos are naturally sweet and would work well in many desserts. Here are some suggestions:  Put cubes of mango into yogurt. Put cubes of mango into ice cream. Put the cubes of mango into rice pudding along with some raisins. You can put the cubes...

. Deep belly breathing is one of the most effective ways to quickly reduce anxiety. You can do deep breathing anywhere and it only takes a few minutes to feel the effects.  To practice deep breathing, find a quiet place and sit or lay down in a comfortable position. Place your hands over your stomach, just below your ribcage. Take in a long, slow breath as you count to five. Concentrate on pulling the air into your abdomen, rather than just into your chest. Then, hold the breath for a few seconds and exhale it slowly. Keep inhaling and exhaling slowly into your belly for about five to 10 minutes. Assess whether this works well for you. For some people, focusing on breathing, actually causes them to hyperventilate and increases their anxiety. . Progressive muscle relaxation is also a quick way to reduce anxiety. Progressive muscle relaxation is when you tense and release the muscles in your body one at a time, moving from the tips of your toes to the top of your head.  To practice progressive muscle relaxation, start by laying down someplace comfortable. Close your eyes and then tighten the muscles in your toes by curling your toes under. Then, release the tension in your toes and tense your feet by flexing them. Then, release this tension and move to your calves. Continue to tense and release the muscles in your body one by one until you reach your forehead. Connecting with someone and expressing how you feel may also help to relieve anxiety. Try calling a friend to talk about what is on your mind. Or meet up with a friend and talk through your feelings in person. Avoid communicating how you feel via text or social media, try to connect with someone on the phone or face to face. Video chat is another option if you cannot leave your home or place of work. Any type of physical activity can be calming. Exercise is even regarded as an effective way to treat anxiety, so if you are feeling anxious, exercise is a great option. You can do anything that you enjoy, but try to do 30 minutes of exercise every day.  Go...

. Developing your self-compassion can help you to feel better about yourself overall. It can also help you to see more positive traits in other people. Some things you can do to develop self-compassion include:  Treating yourself as you would treat a small child Practicing mindfulness Reminding yourself that you’re not alone Giving yourself permission to be imperfect People who feel worthless often can't accept that anyone cares about them. Remind yourself that you are worth caring about, no matter how you feel or what anyone says to you. Practice talking back to negative thoughts, even if you feel like giving in to them. Think about how you respond when someone offers you support. Do you argue with them, as though you're trying to prove how worthless you are? This can make you feel worse, and make other people less willing to help. Pay attention to your responses to these situations. Learn to stop and say "thank you" instead. If your close friends and family aren't there for you, think back to people who were kind in the past. Find the contact information for old friends. Share your feelings with a family friend, a teacher, or acquaintance who's good at listening.  Talking in person or over the phone tends to work better than talking through text or online chat.  Keep in mind that you will get out what you put into relationships. If you never contact other people to make invitations, then don’t expect them to do the same. When you're severely depressed, it's easy to assume that everyone is mean, unkind and uncaring. Most often, people are just more focused on their own lives. This does not mean that they do not care about you. Responses like "It will get better" or "Just ignore it" may sound dismissive, but the person saying it often thinks they're giving real help. These people may be able to cheer you up in other ways, but be careful talking to them when you're at a low point. If you have few friends or close family members, one argument can temporarily destroy your whole support network. Pick up new...

. Do an ollie as high as you can, then as you level off your feet, give a nudge with the front foot on the board so it spins 180 degrees. You may want to use a little "scoop" motion with the back foot to make it spin easier. . Do the same thing as a pop shove it, except when you nudge the board, kick the little area where the side of the board rises. Try out a few different motions until you get it to spin. This is not an easy trick, so practice and don't give up. . Start with a fairly low rail (equal to or less than one foot.) This is not easy, so take it in steps.  Start out simply rolling up to the rail, then jump off of your board and land with just your feet on the rail, letting the board roll away. Next, practice popping the board up as you jump, but don't worry about where it goes after that. Just make sure that your feet land on the rail. Make sure you roll up to the rail at a slight angle, not completely straight. This way, there's less risk of one truck getting caught on the start of the rail. Now it's time for the real thing. Ollie as high as you can, in the direction of the rail. Land with your feet on the bolts and the board balanced on the rail. If the deck is sliding sideways on the rail, it's a board-slide. If you stay in the direction of the rail so your trucks lock in and grind it, it's a 50-50 grind. Once you get to the end of the rail, turn the board around if you're in a board-slide (so it faces the right direction) and land over the bolts. If you're doing a 50-50 grind, lift the front wheels slightly (by pushing on the tail, again slightly) to the front of the board doesn't plummet down. An alternative is to ollie off. ead to the skatepark and learn to drop in. Dropping in takes guts, but it's worth it.  Start with your tail on the coping (the metal on the top of the half-pipe) and your foot just behind the bolts, but far enough back to balance. Put your front foot over the bolts, and slam the board down. Don't hesitate, or you will fall. It takes confidence and power. Be sure to lean...

. During a massage, outside distractions should be kept to a minimum. Traffic noises, outside music, and the sound of people's voices can disrupt the relaxing mood that makes massages so emotionally beneficial. The bedroom is the most obvious choice, but if there's another room in your house that's more removed from the main action in your home, consider using it as the massage room.  The massage room should be clean, without excessive clutter or messy areas that could make the person you're massaging feel anxious or stressed out. If you're using the bedroom and there's a pile of laundry in the corner, clean it up before you start the massage. Choose a room with plenty of privacy. Find a place where you aren't likely to get interrupted by children, roommates or pets wandering in. If the door to the room has a lock, you may want to consider using it. Make sure the temperature in the room is comfortable, so that the person you're massaging doesn't get too cold or warm. Professional massages take place on massage tables, but any flat, comfortable surface is appropriate for a home massage. You can use a bed, the floor, or even your dining room table, as long as you're sure it's sturdy enough to hold the weight of a person without collapsing.  Line the massage area with clean, soft sheets.  If the person you're massaging tends to get cold, you could also line the area with a warm blanket or two. The surface you're using should be flat and smooth, so the person being massaged feels as comfortable as possible while also being supported. Provide a small pillow for the person to rest his or her head upon during the massage. To give the most basic massage, all you really need are your hands. However, certain equipment can make the experience more effective and pleasurable. Prepare for the massage but setting up a small side table with these items:  Massage oil or lotion. Applying some oil or lotion before you begin rubbing the person's body will help your hands slide smoothly across his or her skin. This prevents...

. Empty the heating water just before adding the brewing water. "first boil". This is when the water begins to boil but has not yet begun to simmer. The temperature at this stage will be 160ºF (71ºC). Bitter brews come from too high a temperature of water on green tea; prefer a longer steeping time at a cooler temperature instead.  Let it steep for three to five minutes. Three minutes steeping results in  light flavor, while five minutes will give you a robust, full flavor. The longer the green tea is left in, the stronger the taste, so you might like to experiment as to which taste works best for you.  For high grade tea such as "gunpowder" types, steeping time may be as few as 10 seconds on first brew.  You can reuse the leaves several times, steeping slightly longer with each batch.  It is advisable to allow the leaves to rest for a few minutes after the first two brews so as not to burn or overwork them. Always time the brewing and taste the tea rather than relying on color changes. Some green teas turn dark quickly but are not ready, while some stay light but are ready sooner than you may think. It is now ready to be enjoyed. In addition, Chinese green tea connoisseurs will also use a snifter cup to enhance the tea drinking experience.  These cups are much smaller in diameter but longer in length to allow the scent to waft into the nostrils as you sip out of your main cup.

Don't put it too loud, though; it's not good for you, especially when you're sick. Learn every word to your favorite song. Google the lyrics and sing it a few times. Now would be a good time to sort your trading cards or track down your missing slipper. However, you are sick so don't overexert yourself. Make paper airplanes or other origami figures. It may not be wonderful, but you'll be happy when you get to school and find you aren't behind.  Draw or write out your dream house. Add little details like carpet patterns, or colors. Draw or write out the theme or plot of your favorite book or movie. You could draw a picture from your favorite scene in Harry Potter, or write out what you would do in the character's situation. List ideal features in your dream pet or boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife. Describe your dream outfit or job. Make a collage with all of your dream pictures and/or lists and paragraphs, to make up your dream life.

. Even though most modern operating systems give you the option of keeping your files when installing the operating system, backing up your files is a safety precaution that you shouldn't skip. Your USB flash drive or burned DVD should be attached to/inserted into your computer. Click Start in the bottom-left corner of the screen, then click the arrow to the right of Shut down and click Restart. You'll need to do this as soon as your computer begins to restart. This key is usually the Esc, Delete, or F2 key, though your computer's BIOS key may be different. Don't stop pressing the key until the BIOS is open.  If you miss the BIOS activation window, you'll need to restart your computer and try again. For a brief moment, you can usually see the key that you need to use listed at the bottom of the screen in a "Press X to enter startup" message. You can check your computer's manual or product page online to confirm the BIOS key. Each computer's BIOS varies slightly, but you'll usually see a "Boot Order" or "Boot Options" tab that you can navigate to using the arrow keys.  On some BIOS layouts, you'll find the "Boot Order" options in the Advanced Options tab. Some BIOS layouts have the "Boot Order" section right on the initial page. Using the arrow keys, select either Removable Storage (or something similarly descriptive of a flash drive) or CD Drive (or something similar). This will depend on whether you used a flash drive or a DVD to create your installation tool. Usually, you'll press the + key while the tool's option is selected to do this. With your installation option at the top of the "Boot Order" list, your computer will be able to find and recognize the Windows 7 installation file. There's normally a key legend that tells you which keys perform which actions in the lower-right side of the BIOS page. Press your BIOS' "Save and Exit" key (check the key legend), then wait for the BIOS to close. You may have to confirm this decision by selecting YES and pressing a key.

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите раздел «Boot Order» (Порядок загрузки). Выберите вариант установки. Переместите выбранную опцию в начало списка. Сохраните настройки и выйдите из BIOS.


. Eye contact is the best and easiest thing you can do to start flirting. You can look deeply into the person's eyes while also taking the time to break eye contact to keep things from getting too intense. Consider using it in these ways:  Get caught looking. Don't stare, but do throw small glances at someone. Keep doing it until he or she catches you. Hold the gaze for a second, smile, and look away. Look into his or her eyes when you talk, particularly at meaningful points in the conversation (for example, while you're paying a compliment).  Wink or raise your eyebrows at your crush. It's cheesy, but it works if used sparingly. Do it when you're looking at someone from across a room, or if you're talking in a group and say something really meant for him or her. Girls can try looking at a guy, lowering your gaze, and looking up at the guy again through lowered lashes. . You'll probably smile automatically if you're talking to someone you like, but you can use your pearly whites to your advantage before the conversation even starts. You can even smile at the person when you pass him or her by in the halls, or just from across the room. You don't have to grin from ear to ear, either; just a simple, subtle smile will do the trick. Try these variations:  Smile slowly. If you're looking at someone but not talking to them, try letting a slow smile spread over your face instead of breaking into an insta-grin. Slow, languid smiles are generally considered sexy. Smile when you make eye contact. If you're suddenly looking into someone's eyes, toss in a smile for extra appeal. (If it's a genuine smile, the other person will see it without even looking at your mouth — it will crinkle your eyes, and is known as a Duchenne smile.) Try smiling with your eyes, not just your mouth. Make your whole face light up when you smile. Introduce yourself — or maintain the mystery (optional). If you don't already know the person you're flirting with, an introduction (or lack of one) can be a great thing to build flirting around. Avoid...

TL;DR in Russian:

Смотрите в глаза Улыбайтесь. Начните говорить. Начните разговор Ведите лёгкую беседу. Используйте язык тела. Когда первый раз обнимаете человека, будьте осторожны и не загоните человека в угол. Сделайте комплимент в начале разговора. Позаботьтесь о том, чтобы ваша беседа была короткой, но милой. Знайте, как завершить все правильно.


. First and foremost, you need to make this girl aware of your presence. Try to make a good first impression, but don't think too hard about it. Be confident, upbeat, and genuine. To start: try asking her a question, or making a situational joke. Tell her your name, and she'll probably tell you hers.  If you have a class together, find an excuse to talk to her about the class. Ask her about the homework, or crack a joke about the teacher. Don't worry too much about saying exactly the right thing. The more natural and collected you feel, the better of an impression you will make. . It will probably be much easier to pursue a girl if you're on regular speaking terms with her. Strike up a conversation whenever you get the chance, and try to make a good impression each time. Do not fear the "friend zone!" Make friends with the girl, but be sure to keep up a sense of flirtation and mystery. Ask her questions about herself, and listen carefully to the answers. Don't let her do all of the talking, however! Many people love to talk about themselves, but you might come off as overbearing if you pin her down with a barrage of intense questioning. Make sure to keep up a careful balance of asking, listening, and talking.  What does she do for fun? What music, books, or movies does she love? Where did she come from? What is her favorite subject? Be genuinely interested in what she has to say. You're trying to make a real connection with a human being, here – not just trying to "get the girl." Make her feel worthy of attention. Listen to her, and she may open up to you. There is a balance to be struck here: if she confides in you too intimately and platonically, it might be hard for her to make the mental jump to seeing you as a friend. That said, she'll probably be more comfortable taking you as a romantic partner if she knows that she can trust you.

TL;DR in Russian:

Представьтесь Беседуйте с девушкой Проявляйте интерес. Интересуйтесь тем, как прошел ее день.


. Focusing on the intricacies of making origami may also take your mind off of the time. There are endless varieties of origami creations that you can make, and if you get really into it, you can make an entire origami zoo, or bouquet.  Try making  a paper football and play with it. Or, make an origami jumping frog with a friend and have a race to see whose frog leaps the furthest. . Do a self-portrait, a caricature of someone nearby, or create a cartoon. If you don’t like the way you draw, close your eyes and try to draw something simple without lifting the pencil or pen once. The results may be interesting and unexpected, plus there’ll be no pressure to produce a masterpiece (though you might surprise yourself). You can also look into a mirror and draw a self-portrait. Edit people's voices to sound like a chipmunk or a gorilla, or make a singer sound like a child. You could also go further and try to create a cool song to share with your friends. You can also post the result on Facebook. Get some old magazines and cut up any cool-looking pictures. Then, make a random collage out of letters, people's heads, cute kitties, commercials for Bud Light, or whatever. You can write your sister a fake ransom note or create a sexy superhero out of the body parts of different celebrities. Or put the face of a celebrity on a fat, hairy body. When you're done, hang up your masterpiece or give it to a friend. It doesn't have to rhyme or sound like Robert Frost. It can be funny, quirky, sad and serious, or whatever you want it to be. Describe the hamburger you had for lunch in overly-poetic language, or write a serious poem about your relationship with your mom. Who knows, maybe you'll find that you were a poet and didn't even know it! If you're happy with your creation, post it on Poetry.com. Sure, you've pinned those cute polka dot sock puppets, the Jack-o'-lantern that looks like Jennifer Aniston, and the DIY tinfoil wedding dress, but when will you ever get around to completing these innovative projects? Now,...

. For many people, being confident is easier said than done. Being confident means feeling secure in who you are and what your abilities are. If you're not already confident, there are ways to  build your self esteem.  As an example, if you struggle with negative self talk (those voices in your head that tell you you’re a loser, worthless, stupid etc.), work on countering that with positive affirmations such as “I am thoughtful” or “I am a good friend”. When you're confident, you don’t beat yourself up for making mistakes, and you don’t talk down to yourself. Confident people are able to celebrate the success of others without feeling jealous or bad about themselves. and  live in the moment. It can be difficult to  enjoy life when your mind is on the past or future. Instead of worrying about what you just said or what might happen next, enjoy the moment you're in.  If you’re nervous and unsure of what to say, a great way to connect with someone is to ask them questions. In particular, asking someone for advice about something, or encouraging them to talk about themselves, is a great way to get them to like you.  If you are relaxed and focused during your time with others, they will be more likely to enjoy your company and seek it out again. If you’re talking to a guy you like (or anybody, for that matter), a surefire way to get them to like you (at the very least, as a friend) is to actively listen to them. Active listening involves the following steps:  Don’t interrupt or judge the person who is talking. Nod your head or give short verbal signs (“yes”, “mm hmm”) that show you acknowledge what the person is saying. Paraphrase what they’ve said so that they know you’ve understood. Ask questions to signal you’ve paid attention and are interested. Resist the urge to tell a guy what he wants to hear instead of what you really think. Just be sure to be respectful while you’re voicing your opinion. There’s no need to insult him or his ideas.  You want him to like you for who you are, not for who you think he wants...

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте уверенной в себе Расслабьтесь Будьте активным слушателем. Будьте честны, но уважайте мнение собеседника. Поделитесь своими интересами и расскажите о своих увлечениях. Занимайтесь тем, что обогатит вашу жизнь. Продемонстрируйте собеседнику свою заботу. Будьте честны, рассказывая о себе. Не пытайтесь измениться ради кого-то.


. For the very first crochet stitch, you need to create a slip knot on your finger.  Lay the yarn over your left index finger. Holding the yarn from the free end, wrap it around your finger — going under then over — making sure to cross over the original yarn. When you’ve finished, the original yarn should be on the right, and the free end should be on the left. Both the free end and the end attached to the skein should be pulled down. Pull the “original yarn” loop on the right up slightly. Cross it over the “free end” loop so they switch positions. Pull the “free end” loop, which is now on the right, up as you remove your index finger from the knot. Pull to tighten the knot.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте простой скользящий узел.


. Form an adjustable ring with your yarn, more commonly referred to as a "magic ring." At the end of the ring, make one chain stitch to secure the ring in place. . Work ten single crochets into the center of the magic ring. Join the final single crochet with the top of the first single crochet with a slip stitch.  If necessary, tug on the ends of the magic ring to close it into a tight circle. This completes the first round. Make one chain stitch to move onto the next round. Make two single crochets into each stitch of the previous round, joining the last and first at the top with another slip stitch.  This creates an increase, thereby enlarging your circle. You should have a total of 20 crochet stitches in this second round. After you finish this round, compare it to the size of the button. If you are on the right track, you should need to make another front round still to cover the front of the button. Make one chain stitch to move onto the next round. Single crochet once in the first stitch of the previous round, then single crochet twice in the next stitch. Continue all the way around the button, joining the first and last single crochets of this round with another slip stitch.  You should have 30 stitches in this round. By now, your button cover should be about the same size as your button. If it is slightly larger, that will work too, since the excess can wrap around the back of the button. Chain stitch once to move onto the next round. Single crochet once in the first five stitches of the previous round, then make a single crochet decrease over the next two stitches from the previous round. Repeat all the way around, joining the last and first single crochets with a slip stitch.  You should have 26 stitches in this round. The piece should begin to curl under into the shape of a bowl. Chain one to get into the next round. Single crochet once in each of the next two stitches. Single crochet decrease over the next two stitches after that. Continue all the way around, joining the last and first stitches...

. Generally, you will want to try to do this before you begin cooking. Lay out a nice tablecloth and consider adding placemats where you will both be sitting. Try to match the plates and bowls, and lay out the necessary cutlery. For example, if you are eating steak, make sure that each place setting has a steak knife to make cutting the meat easy. Candles are a lovely touch that you can add to heighten the romantic feel of your dinner. Dim the lights and place candles in accent spots around the room and on your table. Keep in mind, however, to try to use candles that do not have too strong of a scent. Candles that are heavily scented can interfere with the taste of your dinner. Stick to neutral, light smells, or unscented candles. For an extra special dinner, place freshly cut flowers in a vase and put it on the table. However, try to keep the vase and flowers short so that they do not block your view of your loved one while you eat. You can also get rose petals that you can sprinkle on the table, or place on your partner’s plate. Play music that you both like, but put it on a low setting so that it does not interfere or distract from your conversation. Consider putting on music that does not rely heavily on lyrics, such as jazz, classical music, or spanish guitar.

TL;DR in Russian:

Накройте на стол. Зажгите несколько свечей. Украсьте цветами или используйте лепестки роз. Включите музыку.


. Gently massaging your head stimulates blood flow to the scalp, encouraging hair to grow faster. You can do this while shampooing your hair in the shower, or on dry hair before going to bed at night. Brushing your hair and scalp with a natural-bristle brush can also provide the same effect.  To perform the massage, start making small circles with your fingertips, working from your hairline along the arteries in the front, side, and back of the head. Do not press with your fingernails. Work your way towards the top the head, as if drawing a circle. Aim to massage your scalp for just ten minutes a day, five in your morning shower and five before bed at night. Don't give up after a couple of days, try to make it a part of your daily routine. Aside from being bad for your health in general, smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol and caffeinated drinks can have a detrimental effect on hair growth.  Smoking reduces blood flow to the scalp, causing hair to turn brittle and dull looking. The smoke from cigarettes can also turn graying hair an unwanted yellow hue, while imparting hair with an unpleasant odor. Alcohol can prevent the liver and colon from properly absorbing the nutrients you take in from food.

. Getting more sleep the night before will make you more alert for an all-nighter. You’ll be able to stay to stay up and have more fun with your friends.

Eggs are abundant in B vitamins, so start the day with eggs and whole grain toast. Graze on nuts and fruit throughout the day for protein and healthy carbs.

. Iced tea is made by making very concentrated tea, then adding water and ice to chill it. To make it, you'll need to double the amount of tea leaves per serving. Iced tea is a wonderful refreshment on a hot day, and can be made with any type of tea. Herbal teas and fruit teas taste particularly delicious iced. .

. If someone offers you alcohol, the best and easiest response is a simple, "No, thanks." Oftentimes people will not push you for a reason and respect your choices. Should the person offering question you, you can try more detailed responses. For example, you could say, "Thanks, but I'm the designated driver." , but firm. Have confidence in your reasons not to drink. Sometimes saying no can make you feel boring. But understanding your reasons for sobriety and standing by them will help others know that you're serious.  Complimenting the person can help them respect your decision. You could say, "It means so much that you'd think of me, but I'm not drinking tonight."  If someone challenges your refusal, you could tell them that you feel uncomfortable when they disrespect your choices. Humor can lighten up a situation. You can use jokes to distract your friends from the situation, especially if they don't drop the conversation. Try saying something like, "Nah, man, I've already had my share. And probably yours, too!" Or, "Haha, no thanks. No drink in the world could have enough alcohol to solve my problems." Keep your jokes polite and tasteful. Others might feel attacked if you insult them for drinking. Having a non-alcoholic drink in hand will make others less likely to offer you a drink. Ask the bartender for your favorite soda, or go for a water if you're cutting back sugary drinks in general. If you opt for a virgin drink (like an Arnold Palmer or Shirley Temple), others will probably not even notice.  Many cocktails can be ordered "virgin," or without alcohol. Try a virgin piña colada or daiquiri. Most bars are beginning to stock non-alcoholic beers as well, so you could give one of these a try.

TL;DR in Russian:

Скажите прямо: "нет". Будьте вежливы Откажитесь от предложения выпить с юмором. Попросите безалкогольный коктейль или что-то альтернативное.


. If you are a smoker, the most important step you can take is to quit. Even if you do not smoke in the presence of your children, the smoke that lingers in your clothes, hair, furniture, and car can still have a negative impact on their health; this is known as thirdhand smoke. Smoking can leave behind a residue which can also negatively impact the health of your children.  Find resources to help you quit. Smoking is a challenging addiction to give up. Fortunately, there are many resources available, which can help guide you through the process.

Consider the benefits you will experience. In addition to protecting your children, you will also be improving your own health. Consider that, 20 minutes after your last cigarette, your heart rate and blood pressure decrease. One year after quitting, your risk of contracting coronary heart disease is cut in half. Ten years after quitting, the risk of dying from lung cancer is 50% lower than that of a continuing smoker. Other adults who spend a lot of time around your children, and who also smoke pose a risk to them. Research suggests that having social support can play an important role in helping an individual to quit smoking, especially during the first few months after giving up cigarettes. Although quitting is a personal choice, you may also be able to persuade them to quit, if you feel they simply need a small push.  Calmly explain to them that you want them to quit because of the dangerous carcinogens they are exposing your children to. Explain to them the personal benefits they may experience from quitting. If they agree to give quitting a shot, offer as much emotional support as possible. It is your home, and you have the right to make the rules. If an adult visiting your home wishes to smoke, make it clear that smoking will only be allowed outdoors, away...

. If you are prepared to use high-quality soil, and water frequently, a raised bed will allow you to keep your vegetables spaced closer together. This makes it harder for weeds to compete, and the raised level may make weeds easier to spot as well.  Plants warm up more quickly in a raised bed. This is an advantage in many climates, but if the climate is on the hot side for your vegetables, consider digging a lowered bed instead. Sometimes referred to as intensive planting, keeping vegetables closer together gives weeds less room to grow. However, spacing is limited by your soil quality, watering frequency, and vegetable variety. You can often plant vegetables a couple inches (a few centimeters) closer than recommended on the seed packet, but it's best to attempt this by planting slightly closer each year, reversing the practice if the vegetables fail to grow quickly and healthily. Try looking up your vegetable's recommended spacing if using a raised bed. Due to the trapped heat in the soil, this method is only recommended for certain vegetables, such as tomato, pepper, eggplant, cucumber, melon, or squash. Lay a covering of black plastic over the soil in your vegetable garden prior to planting. Cut out holes where the vegetable  plants will grow through the plastic.  Keep an eye out for aggressive weeds that may continue to grow under the plastic or through the holes for the vegetable plants. Plastic will not decompose, and must be thrown away after the growing season. Alternatively, you can use black landscaping fabric. This allows water to penetrate down into the soil and is reusable.

TL;DR in Russian:

Соорудите компактный сад-огород Сажайте растения ближе друг к другу. Используйте пластиковую мульчу для определенных культур.


. If you don’t really like or believe in yourself, it may be hard to get others to. Confidence is the key to attracting attention, as people flock to those who love themselves. Having low confidence causes you to have a poor mood and outlook, and probably repels people from you as opposed to attracting them. Build self-confidence by doing the following:  Write a list of your best traits, and read over it when your self-esteem is low. Think back to situations in which you have performed well. Try new things and challenge yourself. Participate in activities you enjoy. Don’t allow others to dictate the value you place in yourself.   Walk with a straight posture, your shoulders back, and your chin raised. . Although it may be difficult to completely avoid negative moods, do your best to appear positive. By having an optimistic view of life, you will be able to appreciate its small blessings and beautiful aspects. In a world of negativity, people are often drawn to those who send out positive vibes. Showing your happiness despite bad situations will prove to people that you are fun to hang out with. Build a better mindset using the following strategies:  Pay attention to your language. When you constantly complain or make negative comments, your mood aligns with your words. Make positive statements, such as “I can figure out this problem” or “I am a good person”. Plan to be happy. Schedule in activities you love into your weekly routine. This automatically provides a buffer against negative mood states.   Be grateful for what you have. When you notice all the things you do have, rather than focusing on what you don’t, you have more reasons to smile and be appreciative. Refrain from gossiping. Participating in negatively-oriented conversations can cause the tone to rub off on you. When you notice people talking about others in mean ways, excuse yourself from the conversation. . Although it may be tempting to change yourself in an effort to gain the attention of others, it will hurt you in the long run. Eventually,...

. If you have been known to tell a fib or two in the past, you need to carefully examine this behavior and try to learn from it. Even if you are telling the truth in this situation, you may have developed a reputation as a liar. Look at other times you have lied or been caught in a lie. Brainstorm ways you could have prevented the lies and been honest from the start. Once you have made the decision to stop lying, you help convince others of your truthfulness by sharing details about your life upfront. By doing this, you remove the need to be questioned, and therefore, others don't have to wonder if your answers are lies. . If you have trouble opening up to others, this may explain why someone is doubtful of your honesty. Learn how to be more open and honest in your close relationships by following these tips:  Be more accepting of others and yourself. When you are constantly worried about what others will say or how they will look at you, you may lie just to say what you think they want to hear. Trust the people you love to care about you despite your flaws. Don't put off important conversations. Schedule time to talk about important matters when both parties are free to speak and think clearly. Live a life according to your values. Live your own truth, and then you don't have a need to lie. Embrace constructive criticism. We may lie because we don't want others to judge or criticize us for our faults. When you are able to see criticism as a tool to improve, you won't have to rely on untruths to get you by. Evading others' eyes is often seen as a sign of dishonesty. Eye contact is an effective way to show honesty and sincerity. You are also able to forge a more intimate connection with another person by staring into her eyes. Just be sure not to overdo it. Too little eye contact can seem evasive, but too much can seem threatening or intimidating. Experts suggest maintaining eye contact longer for one-on-one conversations, about 7 to 10 seconds. The amount of time making eye contact and looking away should be...

. If you haven’t already, now is the time to sit down with your partner and discuss whether or not they want kids. Let them know, “I have been considering whether I want to have a child recently and I want to talk to you about whether you see yourself as a parent.”  Find a good time to talk. Don’t spring the question on them randomly or when they are dealing with other matters. Instead, ask them to set aside a certain time so that you can have a serious conversation. Explain your reasons for considering having children. Let them know what reasons you have for wanting children, as well as what reason you have for not wanting them. Ask your partner for their opinion, and respectfully consider what they have to say. Once you and your partner have discussed if both of you want children, allow them to go through the same mental process of evaluation. Allow them to voice their concerns as well as their hopes.  Actively ask questions such as, “How do you see financially preparing for a child?” and “Do you think we have a good enough support network to care for a child?” Avoid disagreements. Allow your partner to voice their own thoughts. If you see something differently, politely offer your opinion by saying, “I’ve been thinking about it this way.” Don’t, however, make your partner feel invalidated during this conversation. Decide how the two of you would work together to parent your child. Would you both be involved, or would one of you simply be donating your genes? Would you raise the child together in a single household, or would the child split its time between the two of you individually?  Ask your partner, “How do you see us raising this child?” Understand that answers different from your personal preference are not necessarily wrong, and discuss any difference of opinion with an open mind. Talk to your partner about behavioral expectations. Since you have not been a parent before, you might not know how you will handle every situation. However, you might have some ideas. Try starting a conversation with your...

. If you stay up all night you will be so tired in the morning chances are you won't remember anything! Get up in the morning about 30-45 minutes earlier and familiarize yourself with the highlighted parts of your notes and textbooks. If you made flashcards, go through them again. Try to get in at least 3 hours; that's one full sleep cycle. Waking up in the middle of one less than well-rested will be detrimental to your test score. You've heard from everybody that a nutritious meal before an exam will help you use your brain better. Stick to a fairly normal breakfast (you don't want to get sick) and don't load up on anything too heavy if you have anxiety. Think about this: The more food you eat before your exam, the less you will be thinking about how hungry you are, so help yourself by just eating something before your exam so you can stay at least somewhat focused. Go through the information a couple of times on your way to school. Chances are if you paid attention in class and got in some good studying the night before you should be fine. There's 5 minutes before the teacher walks in, so utilize them! Take turns asking each other questions. Start with the points you are foggiest on -- that way they'll be fresh in your memory. Don't do this while you're taking the test -- getting caught cheating will result in a much worse score than you were going to get if you hadn't.

TL;DR in Russian:

. If you want to develop your leadership skills, it’s important that you honestly analyse your strengths and weaknesses. Doing this will enable you to identify the areas you need to improve, and make you more aware of how you act and behave. Start by asking yourself “what kind of leader am I?”  Perhaps you are someone who leads by example, and doesn’t get too involved in other people’s work. Or maybe you are a leader who helps to solve problems, and takes a more active and interventionist role. Being a good team player and helping other people get along and work together more effectively is another way of being a leader.  You can even use online leadership quizzes to evaluate your leadership skills. Once you have begun to get a clearer picture of how you act as a leader, it will be helpful to consider how other people think of you as a leader. This could be your colleagues at work, or friends at school or college. You can do this by paying closer attention to team interactions, such as how often colleagues approach you for advice, and how comfortable they are doing so.  You can also ask a trusted friend or colleague for her perception of your leadership qualities. You can ask a more senior colleague, who is familiar with you and your work, for some feedback and guidance on management and leadership. After asking the initial questions about how you lead and how others perceive you, you can try to analyse you leadership qualities in greater detail. You will then decide which factors to work on. Write down the following questions and try to answer them as honestly and fully as you can:  Do I make an effort to be aware of the thoughts and feelings of colleagues? Do I help others perform to their best and reach their potential? Do I accept responsibility? Do I keep an open mind and try new ideas and new ways of doing things? Can I communicate effectively with others? Am I a good problem solver? Do I encourage and accept other opinions and perspectives? These questions will help highlight which leadership qualities...

. If you want to go to a movie or you'd like a new game or toy, offer to do some chores around the house in exchange for the money you need to pay for it. Your mom might be so impressed at the offer that she'll go ahead and say yes. if you need to. Say you really wanted to go to a party, but your mom is stubbornly saying no because she doesn't want you to be out that late. Why not offer to come home an hour earlier? If it goes well, maybe the next time she'll let you stay out as late as you want. Kids say this all the time, but does it ever really work? Moms don't care much about going along with the crowd. Only say this if you're asking for something that literally everyone else is getting to do, and have a list of people your mom respects who get to do it. Be ready to have your friends back you up if your mom says she wants to call them or their parents. It'll just make you seem immature, making your mom feel like she's making the right decision in saying "no". You've got to give her a good reason to say yes, and begging is just annoying. If you cannot get her to say "yes" in any way, a guilt trip might come to your rescue in the end. Use statements like "No, it's okay. Love you mom."  and walk downstairs. Later she will come to tell you that you can go, because you just let it go like a mature person. . Lighten things up by telling a joke or teasing your mom to make her laugh. Even if you're upset she's saying no, saying something funny can turn things right around. It shows your mom that you realize it's not the end of the world, and you're not going to throw a tantrum like a little kid. Who knows, her enhanced mood might make her change her mind. It works like a charm to make moms feel happy. Don't let it sound fake - say it like you mean it, even if you're feeling mad. The power of these three words cannot be underestimated! If you manage to convince him, he may be able to talk your mom into it. But remember, this may not always work since in some families, it is always the mother's decision.

. If you want to take the next step from dolphin-lover to professional defender of the dolphins, going into marine biology is the biggest likely career choice. This will not only allow you to be around the animals you love and hope to protect, but will allow you to study the ways in which the environment of dolphins is affected by the human footprint, and how to improve that environment.  In school, work hard in biology and take as many natural science classes as you can. You won't start out by learning to scuba dive and swim with dolphins, but you'll be building the necessary foundation to possibly do something like that for a living. When you get to college, there probably won't be a "marine biology" major, unless you're at certain coastal universities, but getting a general biology degree will allow you to specialize at the graduate level. Take your education one step at a time. For some people, it's not enough to donate some money and sit back to wait for changes passively. If you're frustrated with the slow process that justice usually takes, you might consider getting involved more directly with an activist group that works to disrupt the forces that endanger dolphins and other marine life.  The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society The Animal Liberation Front (ALF) The Taiji Action Group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Greenpeace Many activist organizations, Greenpeace especially, organize user-friendly activism and signature-gathering operations to disrupt corporate attempts to maintain the status-quo. These groups draw attention to the ways that corporations shirk their environmental responsibility to maximize profits and attempt to hold them to it. It usually benefits industry to work unregulated and unimpeded by things like carbon caps and environmental restrictions, which keeps the oceans polluted and dolphins in danger. Work to change that. Much of the dubious decision making happens at the legislative level, where corporate lobbyists work to change environmental legislation to...

. If you're swimming in the ocean, you might get caught in a rip current.  Knowing what to do can save your life, so try to memorize these steps before you get into the water.  Do not panic. This is, by far, the most important step of all.  By flailing and panicking, you could actually keep yourself under the water. Swim sideways.  Do not try to swim directly to shore or directly out further into the ocean.  Instead, try to swim in a line that's exactly parallel to the shoreline. Swim in a stroke that allows you to breathe.  Swim with the strongest stroke you can do that also allows you plenty of room to breathe.  This might be a sidestroke, front crawl, or breaststroke. Keep swimming until you're out of the rip current.  You might have to swim quite far before you're safely out of the rip current, but keep going.  You don't want to undo the good work you've done so far by heading for shore at the wrong time. If possible call out for help.  If you can, motion to the lifeguard or yell "Help!" as soon as possible.  However, don't do this if it means sacrificing a breath or if you have to stop swimming - it's better to keep yourself moving. .  If you're caught in a river that's flowing too quickly or pushing you under, follow these steps to get out:  Don't flail or panic.  As with a rip current, panicking and flailing your limbs can push you deeper into the water.  Try to take even breaths and remain calm. Aim to swim diagonally toward the shoreline.  Swimming toward the shoreline at a 90-degree angle will force you to fight with the current too much, and might cause you to become exhausted quickly.  Instead, plan to get to the shoreline at a diagonal angle that goes with the current. Don't try to swim upstream.  You'll spend too much energy for not enough results.  Only try to swim upstream if there's immediate danger downstream, such as sharp rocks or a waterfall. If you are being rapidly carried downstream by the current, point your feet in the direction you are being carried. This may prevent you from...

. If you’re afraid your mind is going to go blank in the middle of your date, you may want to come up some things you can talk about. What do you both have in common? What are you excited about or interested in? Having a few ideas in mind can help calm you down. For example, if you know that you both like cooking, travelling, or being outside, think of a few questions or stories you can tell dealing with those topics. Though you may want to do something fun on your date, you shouldn’t do something new that will make you even more uncomfortable. You want to go to a place you're somewhat familiar and comfortable with. Even if it's not some place you've gone often, if it's in an area you know, that's enough to help calm you down. For example, if you never go to fancy restaurants or the ballet, don't choose it as a first date location. Dates should be fun. Sure, everyone goes to dinner and a movie, and that may be enjoyable for you. However, you can help calm your first date jitters by doing something you know will be fun. Try something you'd never think of as a first date. It may help both of you break the ice.   For example, you can go window or regular shopping, work out together, go to a bookstore or music stores and look around, go hiking, or go to a museum. Choose an activity both of you can enjoy and are interested in, if you know what the other person likes. If you don't know what the other person likes, try to ask them. Often, doing these things help you show off your personality the most. Though you want to look nice and dress to impress, don’t wear clothes you feel uncomfortable in. You won't feel like yourself. You'll be uneasy, and your date will be able to tell. Choosing a casual or nice outfit is best. Think about where you are going on your date and dress accordingly. For example, if you never wear dresses and heels or a suit and tie, don't do it on a first date. If you wear clothes you can’t breathe in or shoes you can’t walk in, you may start tripping or have trouble breathing.

. If you’re having trouble meeting someone that you connect with, you might need to widen your circle of potential partners. Online dating sites are great places to find other people looking for relationships. This type of dating is much more common than it used to be, and chances are you’ll meet a wider range of people than you would in your everyday in-person life. If you’re in a long-term relationship and the spark has fizzled, you might need to reconnect with your partner so that you start having sex again. Rediscover the affection and attraction that drew you two together in the first place.  Relive good memories. Revisit some of the places you went for dates when your relationship was new. Try some of the old restaurants or visit the beach where you used to have makeout sessions. Overcome anger in your relationship by talking with each other. The relationship might be suffering because one or both of you are angry or resentful. It might take a while to get back to the good relationship, but talking about your problems is a good first step. You might think about visiting a marriage counselor. Make sex a priority in your relationship. You might have to schedule time for it, especially if you have kids. Plan a date night, send the kids to the grandparents’ house, and have a fun time together. When it comes to flirting, there are different styles of communication that have varied results. Flirtation styles include physical, sincere, polite, traditional, and playful. You will likely find more success with flirting and dating adopting a physical, sincere, and playful style rather than being especially polite or traditional. Also, the physical and sincere styles are even more conducive specifically for sexual activity.  Physical flirting is where individuals show interest through physical touch, like touching someone’s shoulder. Sincere flirting style is contingent on creating an emotional bond, and involves more self-disclosure than other styles, but also is non-sexual.  Polite flirters are not comfortable...
