One of the easiest ways to stop caring so much about what people think is to try to surround yourself with as many considerate and supportive people as possible. If one of the people who is always bringing you down is a mean pseudo-friend or even a frenemy, then you may want to look out for more people who want you to succeed instead of bringing you down; if you spend more time around people who only want the best for you, then you’ll be a happier person and will spend less effort worrying about what people think.  Think about it: is there someone in your social circle who almost never gives you positive reinforcement and who is always bringing you down? Even if this person is an old friend, you should think about whether or not it’s worth it to save the relationship. Of course, sometimes you’re stuck spending time with people who bring you down, whether it’s at a family party or in your chemistry class. Just try to create as much distance between you and the bothersome person as possible and focus on the people in the room that you actually like. The more time you spend doing the things that you love or the things that you’re good at, the less likely you’ll be to care about what other people think. Whether you’re great at skiing, love playing basketball, volunteer at your local bookstore, or spend a lot of time cooking with your family, you should recognize whatever it is that makes you feel happy and try to do it as much as you can.  The more time you spend doing the things you love, the less time you’ll spend worrying about the haters. If you’re too busy doing something that puts a smile on your face, you won’t have time to stop and worry about what other people think of you. Plus, if you take classes or make another effort to do the things you love, you’re more likely to find more people who share your interests. This support network can help you feel less alone. Another way to take action to stop caring about what people think is to set goals that make you feel like you are accomplishing a lot and moving...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проводите время с людьми, рядом с которыми вы чувствуете себя комфортно. Занимайтесь интересными делами, которые  дают вам ощущение счастья. Ставьте перед собой цели и добивайтесь их достижения. Не стоит платить той же монетой. Не позволяйте другим людям увидеть, что их поведение ранит вас. Научитесь уверенно выражать свое мнение. Научитесь с радостью заниматься делами в одиночку. Избавьтесь от привычки извиняться, если вы не сделали ничего дурного.


One of the first medications to try if you're feeling constipated is a stool softener.  These are easy to find over-the-counter and can help get you back on track.  The way that stool softeners work is that they draw water into your stool from your intestines.  This makes your stool softer and easier to pass. Note that stool softeners do not necessarily give you the urge to go.  They only make it easier to go. Take a stool softener one to two times per day or as directed by your surgeon or the directions on the box. If a stool softener does not work, or doesn't provide you the urge to go, you may need to add in an additional medication. To pair with a stool softener, you may want to consider adding in a laxative.  These are the medications that will give you the urge to go.  There are two main types of laxatives:  stimulants and osmotics.  Try using an osmotic laxative first.  Stimulants can cause diarrhea and stomach cramping. Osmotic laxatives work by drawing in fluid into your intestines and helping to move stool through your colon. Many times, a combination of a stool softener and an osmotic laxative is a great choice when it comes to relieving constipation. A less well known way to relieve post-surgical constipation is by adding in a lubricant.  This is another option that you can find easily over-the-counter.  Lubricants are similar to stool softeners in the sense that they make it easier for your stool to be passed; however, they work by lubricating your colon instead of drawing fluid into your stool.  Oil based products, like mineral or cod oil, are common lubricants.  They aren't the best tasting, but do help relieve constipation without stomach cramping or diarrhea. If more gentle methods of relieving constipation are not working, you may need to change your methods.  Using a suppository or enema are other ways to relieve more severe constipation.  Suppositories are generally made with glycerin.  When inserted, the glycerin is absorbed by your rectal muscles causing them to gently contract.  This...

One of the first places to start is to get actual experience that will help boost a career in radio.  Take advantage of opportunities for local or institutional radio. Many radio presenters who work for radio stations and other larger broadcasting venues got their start in smaller, localized radio presentations. One example is hospitals, where a hospital network may have its own localized radio broadcasted over a PA system. One way to break into radio presentation is to volunteer or work in one of these local settings. Find relevant emcee gigs or jobs. Another way to complement a radio presentation career is to work as an emcee at public events. This will help with honing presentation skills and also add to your resume. While acquiring practical experience, it's a good idea to pay attention to the various kinds of verbal skills that will serve you well in future efforts to become a radio presenter.  Think about adjusting any verbal tics or irregularities that will take away from effective presentation. Try to hone the voice to sound as appealing to a wide audience as possible. Develop microphone technique. Experienced presenters recommend working extensively with various microphones and listening to the results in order to figure out how to use a microphone effectively. This includes not crowding the mic, where the voice may become muffled, and figuring out the best microphone distances for optimal acoustics. Some types of communications degrees can help radio presenters and other broadcasters to get access to a greater set of jobs or positions in the industry. After having collected some experience and getting used to the idea of presenting on the radio, as a career-minded individual, you can set up a demo presentation that you can show to representatives of larger broadcasting networks. Some of the most successful radio presenters, for example, radio talk show hosts, have had a long career including extensive networking and brand development. Developing an individual as a brand means promoting the skills...

One of the first signs of pancreatic cancer can be jaundice, also known as icterus, which is the yellowing of the skin, eyes and mucus membranes due to too much bilirubin in the bloodstream. Pancreatic cancer blocks the ducts that release this bile into your intestine, causing it to build up in the blood and turn skin and eyes yellowish. If you have jaundice, your stool will also be light, your urine becomes dark, and your skin will feel itchy. Look at your skin and eyes in a well-lit mirror to check for yellow discoloration.  Jaundice also causes itchy skin. The parts of the eyes that turn yellow are called the sclera, or the white part of your eye. To confirm jaundice (if the yellowing is not so obvious), your doctor may test your urine for bile or order a blood test. One of the first signs of pancreatic cancer can sometimes be a diffuse abdominal aching and soreness, although many people don't feel any pain until the cancer is advanced. The pancreas gland is located behind the stomach and in front of the spine — pretty much in the middle of your belly. It secretes insulin (for blood sugar control), hormones and digestive enzymes. If your belly soreness doesn't go away after a week, contact your doctor.  Palpating (deeply touching) your pancreas for mild-to-moderate swelling is difficult and virtually useless for doctors because the gland is positioned behind and close to other organs. Because pancreatic cancer often causes the liver and/or gallbladder to swell, which are easier to palpate and detect, the condition may be misdiagnosed as liver cirrhosis or cholecystitis. Due to abdominal tenderness, fatigue and diarrhea, the early stages of pancreatic cancer can mimic other disorders or infections, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome. Another early sign of pancreatic cancer -- as well as in most other types -- is a general feeling of tiredness, fatigue and weakness, also called malaise. During the early stages of pancreatic cancer, you'll likely experience unexplained tiredness...

One of the first things you need to consider when preparing to snuggle is your personal hygiene. No one wants to snuggle with someone who hasn't showered in three days.  Make yourself snuggle-able by having a hot shower before your boyfriend or girlfriend arrives. Wash your hair with a scented shampoo and de-fuzz anything that needs to be defuzzed! Apply some deodorant and place a little perfume or aftershave on your pulse points, such as behind your ears, on your inner wrists, in the crook of your elbows and at the base of your throat. Remember not to overdo the application of perfume or cologne, however; this can be a complete turn off if the smell is too strong! Also remember to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth out with mouth wash. Snuggling often leads to kissing! The second thing you need to do is set the mood for some intimate snuggling.  Try to get as much privacy as possible -- make sure any parents/siblings/friends/roommates are out of the house, or at least make them promise that they'll stay out of the room. Dim the lights. Turning off the main light in the room and using a few lamps instead can make the atmosphere much more romantic and suitable for snuggling. Try lighting a few scented candles if you really want to kick the romance levels up a notch. Make sure the room is comfortably warm, but not too hot. You don't want your date to be shivering, but you don't want them to be too hot to get close to you either. With that said, lighting a small fire can be uber romantic. Comfort is of paramount importance when it comes to snuggling, so make sure you and your date won't be sitting on the floor.  Choose a snuggling location with a comfortable couch, love seat, or bed. Pile on plenty of pillows or cushions -- these can be useful when there's an awkward elbow or hip bone getting in the way of a good snuggle. Get a warm blanket (that's big enough to cover the two of you) and drape it over the back of the couch. Then you'll easily be able to grab it once a good snuggling position has been...

TL;DR in Russian:

Убедитесь, что от вас приятно пахнет. Настройтесь на близость. Подготовьте уютное местечко.


One of the hallmark signs of ulcerative colitis is chronic diarrhea or having loose stools (poops) on a daily basis. The diarrhea often has pus and blood in it because of the formation of ulcers in the large intestine (colon).  Between bouts of diarrhea, some bright red blood may also leak from your anus if ulcers are in the rectum, which is the end (distal part) of the large intestine. Ulcerative colitis symptoms vary quite a bit among sufferers, from mild to severe, depending on the degree of inflammation and where the ulcers form. In addition to diarrhea, ulcerative colitis causes an increased urgency to defecate (poop), so sufferers often feel they can't get too far from a bathroom. The ulcers in the lining of the large intestine affect the ability of the rectum to contract and keep the stool in place longer so water can be absorbed from it.  As such, diarrhea with ulcerative colitis is loose and watery — dehydration can be a problem in people with severe symptoms. They may require intravenous (IV) fluids from time to time. Ulcerative colitis is classified by how much of the large intestine is affected: when the ulcers are limited to the rectum the symptoms tend to be mild; when more of the colon is affected the symptoms tend to be more severe. Another common symptom of ulcerative colitis is lower abdominal pain and cramping, primarily caused by the ulcers, but also from poor digestion and a disruption in the "good bacteria" in the colon from so much diarrhea. Lower abdominal bloating (distension) and flatulence are also relatively common, depending on a person's diet.  Avoid spicy foods, high-fiber foods and dairy products because they tend to acerbate the abdominal pain and cramping of ulcerative colitis. People who develop ulcerative colitis at a young age (adolescence) are much more likely to have severe symptoms. People with ulcerative colitis, even milder forms, tend to lose weight unintentionally because of a few different factors: chronic diarrhea, fear of eating and triggering symptoms, and...

One of the key features of the Pivot Table is the ability to sort results and see dynamic reports. Each label can be sorted and filtered by clicking the down arrow button next to the label header. You can then sort the list or filter it to only show specific entries. Your pivot table will automatically update as you modify the base spreadsheet. This can be great for monitoring your spreadsheets and tracking changes. . Pivot tables make it extremely easy to change the location and order of fields. Try dragging different fields to different locations to come up with a pivot table that meets your exact needs. This is where the pivot table gets its name. Moving the data to different locations is known as "pivoting" as you are changing the direction that the data is displayed. You can use a Pivot Chart to show dynamic visual reports. Your Pivot Chart can be created directly from your completed Pivot Table, making the chart creation process a snap.

One of the keys to successful budgeting is to properly track your expenses. That includes debt payments as well as other expenses. Find out how much you spend per month on car loans, mortgage, rent, credit cards, student loans, and any other form of debt. Mark down each figure separately, but also total the figures together to determine how much you owe. For example, your monthly debt payoff might include the following: a $300 car payment, a $700 mortgage, and $200 in credit card payments. That's a total of $1,200 in monthly expenses. These payments typically include whatever you spend each month on renter's, homeowner's, car, other motor vehicle, health, and life insurance. For example, your monthly insurance expenses might include the following: $100 for car insurance and $200 for health insurance. That's a total of $300 in monthly insurance expenses. Utilities include any monthly service you pay someone else to provide, and usually cover bills for water, electric, gas, phone, Internet service, cable, and satellite. Gather your receipts and past bills from the last year to come up with an average monthly estimate for each utility, and add the averages together. For example, your monthly utility expenses might include: $100 for water and $200 for electricity. That's a total of $300 in monthly utility expenses. Look over your grocery receipts from the past few months to determine how much you typically spend each month. For example, your average monthly grocery expenses might be $1,000. Dig into ATM receipts and bank statements to determine how much you typically withdraw each month. Of this, determine how much was spent on necessity versus want.  If you kept all your receipts from the past month, look through them and calculate how much you spent on things you needed—gasoline, food, and so on. Subtract this amount from your total monthly cash withdrawal to determine how much you spent on things you merely wanted—a new video game, a name brand bag, and so on. If you did not keep your receipts, do your best to...

One of the kinder things you can do for your sibling is offer to help them with their homework and their other school work. If they have an oral presentation coming up, offer to listen to their present them presentation. If they are struggling with their math assignment, sit down with them and help them work through the assignment. Focus on practical ways to help your sibling succeed by offering your knowledge of particular subject or simply a helping hand so a project gets done on time. You can also offer to help them complete their chores around the house or split them with them if they are working on a tight deadline for school. Maybe your sibling has a performance coming up or a big sporting event. Make an effort to be in the audience and cheer them on from the stands. Attending their special events will be a nice thing you can do for them as a way to show your support as their big brother or big sister. As the older brother or older sister, you should watch out for younger sibling and stand up for them if they get into any awkward or sticky situations. This may be confronting the school bully if they start to pick on your sibling or mediating a fight between your sibling and your parents. Try to stay on your sibling's side and work with them to resolve any problems or issues with others. Having your sibling's back will show them that you are willing to be there for them and support them. A good big brother or sister will act as their sibling's champion and encourage their sibling to be the best they can be. Take notice of your sibling's abilities and talents, and then actively work to help them develop and improve them.  For example, if your sibling shows an interest in painting, encourage them to take art classes or to set up a painting studio at home. Alternatively, if your sibling wants to go to an Ivy League school, help them achieve this goal by helping them with college applications and drafting a personal statement.

TL;DR in Russian:

One of the main ways that you can develop a hunchback is by constantly looking down at objects instead of keeping your head straight or even glancing upwards. Make a change by positioning your cell phone at eye level when texting or browsing. Do the same thing with your e-reader or book. You can also purchase a rack or stand for your laptop to elevate it to eye level. It’s really easy to forget to hold yourself perfectly upright throughout the day, especially at work. To keep yourself from slouching over the keyboard, put an alarm on your phone to go off every 30 minutes. When the alarm sounds, check your posture by straightening your spine and pulling your shoulders back. Some people find it helpful to write reminder notes around their desk, such as, “Straighten up!” Go to your local sleep store and browse through their pillow offerings. Look for a pillow that is designed to hold your head and neck in proper alignment overnight. These pillows are often made of foam and have 2 outer ridges with a dip in the middle for your head.  Be prepared for a bit of an adjustment period when transitioning from a traditional pillow to a contoured one. You may find it tough to sleep in any other position aside from on your back, at least at first. Sleeping on a firm bed can sometimes help your hunchback improve as well. These two nutrients are directly responsible for the growth and maintenance of healthy bones in your body. Make a point of adding more cheese, fortified juice or cereal products, leafy greens, and citrus fruits to your diet. Take an orange to work as a midday snack or make a kale salad for lunch. You can also take a multivitamin to ensure that you are receiving enough calcium and vitamin D. However, getting nutrients from foods and vitamin D from the sun is always the better option.

One of the main ways you can reduce the effects of an enlarged heart and help combat the underlying causes of the condition is through diet. You should eat foods low in saturated fats, sodium, and cholesterol. You should incorporate more fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and healthy proteins into your diet.  You should also drink 6-8 8 ounce glasses of water a day.  Try eating more fish, green leafy vegetables, fruit, and beans to help lower your cholesterol and sodium levels and reduce your blood pressure. You can also ask your doctor for a diet plan that is best suited for your particular situation. Put more physical activity into your daily routine. Depending on what underlying condition you have, your doctor may recommend different kinds of exercise. He may suggest light aerobic and mild cardiovascular exercise such as walking or swimming if your heart is too weak to take too much stress.  He may also suggest your do more intense cardio and strength training such as bike riding or running as you get stronger or if you need to lose a decent amount of weight. Always consult your doctor before undertaking any physical activity, especially with a heart condition. Combining eating right with exercise will help you lose weight, which is very beneficial for many of the underlying causes of an enlarged heart. There are certain bad habits you should avoid or quit all together when you are diagnosed with an enlarged heart. You should quit smoking immediately because it adds strain to your heart and blood vessels. You should also avoid drinking excessive amounts of alcohol and caffeine because they make your heart beat in an irregular rhythm and put a strain on the muscle. You should also try to get at least 8 hours of sleep a night in order to help regulate your heart beat and replenish your body every day. As you go through your recovery, you need to see your doctor often. This way, he can keep a close watch on the state of your heart and let you know if your condition is better or worse. Your physician will also be...

One of the major causes of falling too hard for a guy is seeing him as flawless. Remind yourself that no one is flawless. Instead of choosing to ignore his shortcomings, figure them out and think about whether or not you can accept them. If you avoid this and end up in a relationship with him, his inability to maintain the perfect image you created for him will damage the relationship. Try having a conversation about weaknesses. He probably knows his flaws best, and learning this information from him might help to ground you. Tell him your weaknesses too so that he doesn’t assume that you’re perfect either. When you’re in the giddy early phase of getting to know a romantic interest, you can be blind to the reality of relationships. Look back briefly on past experiences that didn’t quite work out in your favor. Consider the fact that some of those hard times could happen with this new guy that you like. Ask yourself if you're willing to go through that pain again. Ask yourself if you see the potential for any of those problems to come up again. When you’re really starting to develop feelings, sometimes it’s hard to stay true to who you are. You might be acting a certain way that appeals to him in order to speed up the relationship’s development. While this might get his interest in the short term, it’ll eliminate the possibility of a healthy relationship later. Be honest about the fact that you love rap music even if you know he only listens to country. It might take longer for him to know if the two of you are compatible enough, but this slower progression is more healthy and natural, and if things finally do progress, you’ll know it’s for the right reasons.

TL;DR in Russian:

Ни в коем случае не возводите этого парня на пьедестал. Не бойтесь напомнить себе о том, как испортились ваши предыдущие отношения. Если вы хотите, чтобы отношения продолжались и развивались, оставайтесь собой.


One of the most common and obvious sources of added sugars are in foods like candy, cookies, cakes, pastries, and other dessert-type foods.  Most know that there is a large quantity of added sugars in these foods when they're made.  Giving up on these can help cut out a large portion of added sugar in your diet.  As mentioned before, you can choose to cut out these foods cold turkey or taper them slowly out of your diet. If you're going cold turkey, you may not be interested in healthy swaps.  If you're tapering them out of your diet, you may find it helpful to plan some naturally sweetened, healthy alternatives into your day. Sweet treats provide a lot of enjoyment in our diets.  When you're trying to give up sugar, it'll be helpful to find low-sugar or naturally sweetened alternatives when you're in the mood to indulge.  Use fruit instead.  You can try a small bowl of fruit plain or sprinkled with a little cinnamon after dinner.  If you're allowing yourself a small amount of sugar, you can try serving your fruit with a small amount of low-fat whipped cream or dipping fruit into dark chocolate (which contains small amounts of sugar). If you like baked goods like muffins, pancakes or sweet breads, you can try using sugar-free baking techniques.  Many recipes can be made with unsweetened applesauce, sweet potato puree or pumpkin puree for a naturally sweetened sugar source. If you don't like cooking or preparing foods, you may want to consider buying low sugar treats.  Many foods that are made for diabetics or are diet foods may be helpful.  Do note that these may contain higher amounts of artificial sweeteners. Alcohol also contains sugar.  In addition, it doesn't come with any nutritional benefits.  Eliminate alcohol altogether or stick to "light" or low-carb options.  All alcoholic beverages have some sugar.  It's not just the sweetened mixed drinks like margaritas. If you're in the mood for a beer, choose light or low-carb for the least amount of calories and sugar. If you're in the mood for a glass of...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проходите мимо отделов со сладостями и десертами. Перейдите на сладкую пищу без добавленного сахара. Ограничьте употребление спиртного. Отдавайте предпочтение натуральным подсластителям. Будьте внимательны при посещении ресторанов. Помните об искусственных заменителях сахара.


One of the most common causes of calluses is simply that the wrong shoe is being worn. If your shoes fit badly, calluses are more likely to form -- so go get yours personally fitted. They should be snug (but not hurt) and cater to the width of your feet and you should be able to wiggle your toes easily.  Avoid heels whenever possible; they put all your weight on the ball of your foot -- a recipe for calluses, indeed. Wear flats whenever you can; they're more comfortable, too.  If the calluses are on your hands, wearing padded gloves with a comfortable fit will alleviate and lessen the problem of developing calluses. Make sure that the gloves fit well; very loose gloves will do the opposite and irritate your skin more through the constant friction they produce. Calluses are not an uncommon phenomenon; as a result, some companies have started making shoe liners designed to get rid of them. Many are made out of moleskin and easily slip into your shoes in the shapes of strips or patches. You don't necessarily have to go to a doctor to find medications to alleviate the problem; pads, plasters, and other medications can be found over-the-counter fairly easily. However, most of them contain salicylic acid as one of the active ingredients -- and this can cause irritation or infection that can be more annoying (or serious) than what you were originally dealing with. If you fit one of the following conditions, it's best to avoid these:  If you have diabetes If you have reduced feeling in your feet, either from circulation problems or from neurological damage If you have poor eyesight or flexibility and may not be able to use the product properly

TL;DR in Russian:

One of the most common causes of premature ejaculation in men is nervousness and anxiety over the quality of one's performance. The best thing to do is relax and focus on enjoying the closeness with your partner. Remember that sex is about intimacy as much as pleasure, and great sex comes from chemistry much more than stamina or skill. If you find yourself getting stressed or "in your head," take a deep breath and spend a moment reconnecting with your partner. The classic way that men, and some women, use to control the timing of their orgasm is to concentrate on some mundane topic while having sex. Put the pleasure you are receiving to the back of your mind, and try doing a few basic math problems in your head until you are finally ready to climax.  Avoid thinking about topics or images that stress you out or turn you off. These can cause you to lose your arousal during sex, instead of simply letting you extend it. Instead try to think about something more abstract, such as visualizing geometric shapes or recalling the lyrics to a favorite song. Don't extend your stamina at the expense of being present with your partner. Long sex can be dull for both of you if you spend the whole time with your head in the clouds. Use this technique sparingly and instead focus on engaging and being active with your partner.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не волнуйтесь. Подумайте о чем-то другом.


One of the most common causes of sweating in your sleep is a room that is too hot or bedding that is too warm. Try lowering the temperature in your room, using a fan, or using less bedding. If your night sweating is more than occasional and is not relieved by adjusting the temperature in your room or the bedding you use, you might have night sweats. If this is the case, you will need to look into medical treatment.  Try moisture-wicking silk or bamboo pajamas. Find something that is comfortable, helps regulate your body temperature, and keeps sweat away from your skin.  Choose moisture-wicking sheets, which will help keep the sweat off your body.  Avoid synthetic sheets, which will trap heat and exacerbate your night sweating.  If you live in a hot climate, try opening the window at night. Keep your bedroom between 60 and 65 °F (16 and 18 °C). Ask your doctor for a complete physical check-up to see if your experience of sweating at night is associated with an underlying medical condition. Typically, night sweats are related to a specific medical condition with other symptoms, although some people do experience night sweats with an unknown cause (idiopathic hyperhidrosis). See a doctor if you have any of the following experiences or symptoms:  If you experience night sweats on a regular basis.  If the night sweats interrupt your sleep.  If the night sweats come along with other symptoms such as fever. If you are experiencing severe night sweats and want to find a physician who specializes in this condition, you should search for a doctor with prior experience with this condition. Ask your general physician for a referral to a specialist. The International Hyperhidrosis Society has a hyperhidrosis physician finder that you can view online. Since many medications cause night sweats as a side effect, you should look into whether your prescription medications are to blame. Many medications prescribed for depression, hormone regulation, and diabetes have night sweats as a side effect. Bring your current medications...

One of the most common errors encountered in SA-MP stems from the fact that later versions of the core San Andreas game (like 2.0, 3.0, etc.) are somewhat incompatible with many mods, including SA-MP. Luckily, free third-party utilities exist for "downgrading" San Andreas from a later version to 1.0 (one such utility is available from the main SA-MP download site). If you are experiencing problems with SA-MP and your copy of San Andreas is not V 1.0, download, install, and run one of these utilities to switch back to V 1.0  One common error that occurs because of this version mismatch is that, upon launching a game through the SA-MP client, the single-player version of San Andreas will load, rather than the multiplayer mod. Another error that can occur is that the mod may not even launch at all. Instead, in this situation, the error message "San Andreas cannot be found" displays. Another common problem that can prevent SA-MP from running results from compatibility issues with other mods. Running several mods at once can cause conflicting modifications to the game's code which can make the game unstable and prone to crashing or even prevent it from loading in the first place. The easiest way to work around this issue is usually to disable or uninstall the offending mods before running SA-MP. Firewalls are great for protecting your computer from viruses, malware, and other online hazards, but they can be a serious pain when you're trying to get online games to work. By restricting the types of traffic that can flow into and out of your computer, certain firewall settings can prevent SA-MP from connecting to game servers. Unfortunately, because your situation may vary depending on your firewall and the settings you've chosen for it, there's no one single solution that will solve all connectivity problems. Consult your firewall's maker for more information. Common connectivity problems include not being able to see any servers in the SA-MP browser window and the game stopping at the "Connecting to ip:port..."...

TL;DR in Russian:

Если вы не можете запустить SA-MP, установите San Andreas версии 1.0, так как последние версии этой игры (например, 2.0, 3.0 и так далее) могут быть несовместимы со многими модами, в том числе с SA-MP. Если SA-MP все еще не запускается, удалите другие моды. Если мод не может подключиться к сети, настройте ваш брандмауэр, который прекрасно подходит для защиты компьютера от вирусов, вредоносных программ и других сетевых угроз, но также препятствует доступу играм в сеть. Если имена других игроков не отображаются, поменяйте видеокарту.


One of the most common problems that many sugar addicts make is attempting to eliminate sugar from their diet all at once. This method often results in failure in just a few days. A body that is accustomed to receiving sugar on a daily basis cannot quickly adjust to the elimination of sugar, which has served as an energy source. Instead, try simple tricks like using one less teaspoon of sugar in your coffee, or eating half the amount of chocolate you usually do.  You can also dilute sweet beverages. Try mixing half sweet tea with half unsweetened tea, or mixing half sugary soda with half unsweetened seltzer water. Try mixing something sweet with something healthy. For example, you could dip banana or apple slices in chocolate.  Be aware that if you attempt to quit eating sugar all at once, you'll likely experience profound and severe withdrawal symptoms. The withdrawal symptoms may manifest themselves in severe and intense cravings for sugary foods, or they may include more serious conditions such as headaches or nausea. By gradually reducing your sugar intake over several weeks, you can greatly reduce the severity of these sorts of sugar withdrawal symptoms. Fruit has natural sugars, but it's also loaded with vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. You can also get a lot more "bang for your buck" with fruit than you can with, say, a candy bar. For example, 1 1/4 cups of fresh strawberries has just 15 grams of sugar. A single-serve packet of M&Ms has more than twice that. Aim for fresh fruit rather than dried fruit or canned fruit, which often have added sugars. Instead of standing at the refrigerator or the pantry when a sugar craving hits you, you can respond by participating in some type of physical activity. Exercise releases endorphins in the body, which may help to regulate the mood changes associated with sugar withdrawal symptoms. If you're experiencing headaches or nausea because of sugar withdrawal, an exercise routine may help to boost your energy and eliminate your symptoms through increased...

Сократите потребление сахара в течение нескольких недель. Ешьте фрукты. Подавляйте тягу к сахару физической активностью. Пейте много воды. Очистите свой дом от содержащих сахар продуктов после того, как вам удастся полностью исключить сахар из рациона. Ведите дневник питания.


One of the most common ways of selecting a middle name involves using it as an opportunity to pay tribute to a close member of your family. Choosing a grandparent's first name as the middle name for your child can be a great and moving way of paying tribute to your forebears.  You can go recent into your family tree, or you can go way back. Look at a genealogy report and find distant relatives for interesting and unusual historical names that are part of your lineage. If someone is giving up their last name as part of a marriage, it's also common to use that name as the middle name for a child. The middle name can be an excellent opportunity to select something spiritually or culturally significant, giving your child a sense of history and significance. Naming a child after your favorite saint, martyr, cultural icon, or other religious figure from your tradition can lend a gravitas to a name. Think of names that are significant to sharpening your view of the world and your own morality. Pop culture names are perfectly applicable, especially if they sound good. If Johnny Cash means a lot to you, naming a child Carter Cash might be a great way of paying tribute. It's sometimes popular to use the middle name as an opportunity to go way back and choose a retro or historical name that's less common than common names. Names like "Rosemary" or "Orville" are unusual in digital age, which might make them excellent and unique names to pick for the middle of your child's name. Go through old romantic novels from 100 years ago and check out the names. Keep a running list to go by and experiment with to see how you like older names. Use a coincidental word or name at the last minute to give your child a middle name. This can be an excellent way of using chance and coincidence to pick a name, which can actually be quite unique and moving for some people. Use the month the child is born to pick the middle name, like Alex June or Christian May. You could also use the day on which the child is born: Jacob Wednesday or Christa...

One of the most effective homemade fly traps is made using a simple plastic water bottle.  Unscrew and remove the cap, then use scissors to pierce the plastic and cut off the top quarter of the bottle. Fill the bottom part of the bottle with a quarter cup (60 mL) of sugar, a quarter cup (60 mL) of water, and a couple of drops of blue food colouring. The blue colour helps to attract flies, but most colours or no colours will attract flies as long as it isn't yellow. Yellow is found to be the only repellent colour for flies. Alternatively, a little water mixed with dish soap and a few drops of apple cider vinegar will also attract flies.  Take the top quarter of the bottle, turn it upside down and rest it on top of the other part of the bottle to form a funnel. The flies will be able to crawl into the bottle, but will find it much harder to find their way out. Place the fly trap in a sunny spot that is frequented by flies and wait for them to collect inside the bottle. If you don't have any plastic bottles lying around, you can make another homemade fly trap using a simple glass jar (or even a drinking glass) and some plastic wrap.  Take your glass jar and fill it almost to the top with sugar water or a solution of sugar dissolved in apple cider vinegar with a squirt of dish soap. Take a square of plastic wrap and use it to cover the opening of the glass jar. Use a rubber band to secure it if it feels loose. Use a pen or scissors to poke a small hole into the center of the plastic wrap. This will allow the fly to enter the jar, but once it gets inside, it will drown in the liquid.  Place your trap in a sunny spot, outside, or a place where you have seen many flies. Flypaper is a type of sticky paper which you can hang around your home to catch flies with minimal effort. The paper is coated in a sweet, sticky (and sometimes toxic) substance which attracts flies and causes them to stick. Flypaper may look unsightly in the home, but it is a very effective method of catching flies. Although you can buy your own...

One of the most effective ways you can actively concentrate on what you're doing is to write things down by hand. As opposed to typing, writing by hand forces you to actually engage with what you're learning in a more physical way, sticking in the mind more clearly and engaging with it in a more visceral way. If you struggle to pay attention during meetings or during class, take notes more actively. Keep your pencil moving. Even if it's not something that will be super-helpful later, you'll keep yourself from wandering into other thoughts if you take notes. Long-thought a sign that people weren't paying attention, it turns out that some of the most active thinkers are also active doodlers. If you draw, even just squiggly lines and nonsense while you're trying to pay attention, some studies show that it can help you engage your mind and stay focused, keeping boredom at bay and keeping your mind active and learning. Similar to doodling and note-taking, speaking out loud while you work or study might have your roommates thinking you've got a few screws loose, but it's also proven to actively help you to internalize what you read and the ideas that you're engaging with. Like writing, verbalizing forces you to give words to knowledge, creating a two-step process in the learning that makes it easier to recall and makes you more engaged. If you're embarrassed, try finding an isolated super-quiet place to study, or wait until your roommates are gone to get some alone time to try it out. Or just don't worry about what they think. Talk to yourself! We all do it. To escape a skid, professional drivers are trained to look not at the oncoming tree they'd like to avoid, but the space to which they want to go. Successful soccer players move to open space, successful guitar players find an empty space to play a perfect note, and successful learners fixate on the right course of action and the right way of doing. It might sound so obvious that it's silly, but if you're reading a text and find your mind wandering into other...

One of the most important aspects of giving notice is making sure that your boss doesn’t say “I know” when you finally give your notice. Though you may be dying to announce your new job or your intention to leave to your fifty closest co-workers, you should keep it to yourself and your family until your boss knows the score. You should do this out of respect for your boss and for the sake of professionalism. Don’t talk about it on social media, either. Make sure your boss and co-workers know before the world at large does. Unless you and your boss live on opposite parts of the country, you should do your boss the service of meeting in person to discuss the fact that you’re leaving the company. Even if you’re not very close with your boss or you have some animosity toward him or her, you should make the effort to have an in-person conversation instead of sending a letter or an email. This sends the message that you take your work seriously and want to take the time and effort to leave on a good note. If your boss lives somewhere else, then a phone call is preferable to an email or letter. You may be surprised by how quickly your boss may give you a counteroffer to get you to stay. Now, if your major complaint about your job is the lack of proper compensation, then this really could be a strong incentive to stay; if this is the case, then you should ask yourself what number you have in mind that would make you stay. It’s important to know this before you go into the conversation so you don’t get confused and make a mistake when the conversation comes. If it’s no less than 10K more per yer, then you shouldn’t settle for 5K just to make your boss happy; that said, it’s important to make this decision only if your main problem really is the lack of compensation, because money can’t cover up the other problems you may be having with your job. Once you give your notice, your boss will want to know how you plan to wrap up your work. You should have a plan for how to finish up the projects you were working on, how to...

TL;DR in Russian:

В первую очередь, расскажите боссу о своем намерении. Увольняйтесь лично. Подумайте, что вы будете делать, если получите встречное предложение.

One of the most important parts of getting a boyfriend is to meet someone that you'd like to date. Before you head out looking for guys, take a few minutes to think about what you want. List the priorities that you're looking for in a potential boyfriend.  Maybe common interests is your top priority. For instance, do you love to ride your bike? Make it a priority to find someone who also enjoys that activity. You can also list important personality traits: honesty, compassion, and a great sense of humor are all good examples. Your friends and family can be a great resource in your hunt for someone to date. In fact, most people report that they met their partners through friends and family. Let your network of friends know that you are open to meeting new people.  You can say, "Hey, Stacy. I'm interested in meeting someone. Do you know any eligible guys that I might be interested in?" You might try, "Ellen, that guy that sits next to you in English seems nice. Can you mention my name to him and see if he sounds interested?" Accept invitations to gatherings. You never know who will be at Aunt Maureen's BBQ! If you are working on building a positive body image, it might feel more comfortable to meet people through your circle. After all, it's unlikely that your best friend would set you up with a jerk who makes negative comments about your appearance. These days, a large percentage of relationships begin online. Forget about the old stigmas! Use technology to your advantage and put yourself out there to meet the man of your dreams. Or even just someone fun to hang out with!  Online dating might be a great way to go if you are feeling insecure about your appearance. You will usually have to post a picture. This is helpful, because anyone who approaches you already knows (and accepts) what you look like. Always be honest in your profile. For example, don't post a picture of yourself from 10 years ago. Use caution when meeting someone online. Don't give out personal information, such as your home address or where...

TL;DR in Russian:

Перечислите свои приоритеты. Используйте свою сеть знакомств. Используйте технологии. Будьте общительны. Будьте готовы ко встрече с парнем.


One of the most important qualities of a good friend is honesty and trustworthiness. Always tell your friend the truth, even when it might be uncomfortable or difficult to do. When you’re telling the truth, do it in the nicest way possible, and try to have a private conversation if you can.  For example, if your friend is fighting with your mutual friend and has spread rumors about them, sit down with them and talk about what’s going on. In that case, you can say something like, “I know you’re arguing with Jessie right now, but I don’t think you should be sharing secrets about her with other people. I don’t want to get involved in your disagreement, but I feel like you’re doing something that you might regret later.” It’s wrong to lie or hide things from your friends. If you’re doing something that you feel needs to be hidden, chances are that you’re doing something that is wrong or harmful to yourself or someone else. It can be tempting to talk about your life and your problems because it’s important to you, but you should also ask your friend about their life! Ask them about how their work, school, or hobbies are going. You can also ask their opinion on current events and their future plans.  For example, if you know they just started on a local softball team, you can ask “How was your first practice? Are you enjoying playing on a team again?” If they’ve been working toward their degree, you can ask “How are your classes going? Do you need help studying for any upcoming exams?” When you ask a question, focus all of your attention on your friend’s answer. Respond when needed, and ask follow-up questions to show that you’re paying attention. Remember to not offer your opinion of the situation until your friend is done talking about the topic.  If you find yourself interrupting your friend often, it might be helpful to wait an extra 5-10 seconds before saying something. Many people don’t realize they’re interrupting when they do it, so waiting a little longer will give your friend a chance to finish talking....

One of the possible causes of diverticulitis is the consumption of small, inadequately chewed and difficult-to-digest foods like seeds, corn, and berries. These get caught in the diverticula of the intestine and feed a bacterial colony, sometimes causing infection. If experiencing an episode of diverticulitis, it is best to avoid any foods which might worsen the infection. This means avoiding fiber (which pushes more waste into the infected area) and avoiding the aforementioned difficult-to-digest foods.  When the diverticulitis episode is over, you should greatly increase your dietary fiber intake. Try not to consume too much dairy during this time. Visit your doctor to get a prescription for antibiotics. Diverticulitis occurs when the diverticula (small pockets in the colon) become infected. This can only fully be treated with antibiotics, or else the infection will continue to spread. Follow the package directions with your antibiotics; they typically involve taking a pill orally at least once a day, but this will vary depending on your prescription. Most people suffering from diverticulitis experience abdominal pain and cramping. Although this won’t go away until the infection clears up, you can take pain medication to help reduce the pain in the meantime. Look for ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or naproxen in low doses so that you can take a bit whenever you experience a flare-up of pain. Some people have claimed that certain herbs expedite the healing process involved in ridding your body of infection, and also help to reduce any pain or discomfort you may be feeling. Look for teas or supplements containing chamomile or slippery elm,  two herbs commonly used for stomach problems. If nothing else, drinking a hot glass of tea is soothing and can ease any cramping you’re experiencing in your stomach. Although it may sound strange to any non-acupuncturists, acupuncture can help relieve certain pressure points that cause pain or pressure in your abdomen.

One of the problems that sometimes occurs with wearing thongs, is that they may spread bacteria faster than regular underwear, which can cause infections. Because the thong is touching both the anus and the vulva, bacteria can travel much easier between the two, especially when your thong shifts in position throughout the day. This isn’t a problem for most women, but if you experience yeast or bacterial infections frequently, you may need to switch thongs more often.  Choosing a thong a size larger than what you normally wear may improve both the comfort and the sanitary experience of your thong.  Cotton thongs will prevent bacterial spread better than other types of fabric, so if you’re afraid of infection, try going for thin cotton. For the same reason that you should change your thong on a regular basis, you should avoid wearing your thong every day. Bacteria can easily travel up the fabric of the thong, which means wearing one every day can make you more prone to infections. Try wearing thongs only during the day or times when they are a needed fashion piece. Wear full-coverage panties at night, when you work out, and when you are wearing heavy jeans or other bottoms which won’t show your panty line. If you’ve decided thongs are your go-to underwear for daily wear, don’t toss out all your other panties just yet! When you’re sick, typically with diarrhea or food poisoning, you won’t want to be wearing a thong. This can spread germs and fecal matter (definitely not cool), and be a bit more uncomfortable when your nether-regions are feeling sensitive. You may want to avoid thongs on your period as well, as the blood and discharge will spread easier on a thong than in bikini bottoms. Although nobody likes to consider it an option, a thong won’t provide much protection should a leak occur. It’s true, no one likes to talk about their bathroom wiping rituals. But if you’re wearing a thong, you can actually greatly increase your chance of a bacterial infection by wiping the wrong way! Wipe your bum from the front...

One of the reasons babies have such soft skin is that they haven't been exposed to the harmful effects of UV rays. Wear a hat and cover up with long sleeves and long pants/trousrs/skirts if you are going to be out in the searing sun for any length of time.

One of the reasons you may be afraid of the dark is because you feel that darkness is evil, awful, darkly mysterious, chaotic, or any other number of negative things. However, if you want to start embracing the darkness, you have to work on forming positive associations with it. You can think of it as calming, cleansing, or even comforting like a thick, velvet blanket. Work on changing your perception of the dark, and you’ll soon be able to embrace it. Write down all of the things you associate with darkness. As silly as it may sound, you should cross them out or tear up this piece of paper. Then, you should write down new, more positive associations. If this feels too corny, you can say it aloud instead. People who are afraid of the dark are usually afraid of their beds, because they think of them as a place that makes them vulnerable to harm. If you want to change your perspective about the dark, then you have to think of your bed as a source of comfort and protection. Look at it as a place where you look forward to being, not a place you dread. Use comfortable blankets and spend time relaxing in your bed, doing things that make you more eager to sleep in the bed at night. Spend more time reading and feeling at home in your bed. This will help you feel happy to be there at night. Many adults have admitted to being afraid of the dark. No matter what age you are, there’s no need to be embarrassed about your fears; everyone has one fear or another, and you should be proud of yourself for being honest and open about yours. Instead, feel proud of yourself for admitting that you have a fear and that you want to take steps to tackle it. In fact, one study showed that up to 40% of adults admitted to having some kind of fear of the dark. The more open you are about your feelings, the sooner you’ll be able to tackle them. Talking openly to other people about your fear can help you feel more support and comfort as you try to get over it. Also, talking about it may lead you to find that other people share your fear and...

TL;DR in Russian:

One of the single biggest steps you can take to prevent emphysema (or slow the progression if you’ve already been diagnosed with the condition) is to stop smoking. Smoking tobacco (or marijuana) subjects the lungs to irritants that have a long-term, detrimental effect on your lungs. Other irritants that can progress the disease include air pollution and manufacturing fumes.  If you are addicted to tobacco, then you may have much more success in stopping smoking by looking into over-the-counter or prescription cessation medications. You can also make other lifestyle changes that help break your mental addiction to smoking. Find other information about smoking cessation at How to Quit Smoking. Ensure that you change your furnace and air conditioner filters regularly to help reduce irritants in your home as well. Begin slowly, but find a regular exercise routine that gets your heart rate up. Exercise can slow the deterioration of your lungs and increase your lung capacity. Try a cardio routine that includes walking, jogging, jumping rope or low-impact options like cycling and water aerobics. Don’t push yourself too hard at first since the exercise will make it even harder for you to breathe, especially initially before you begin increasing your lung capacity. A healthy weight places less stress on your lungs as you breathe. A healthy weight also makes you less prone to respiratory infections that can complicate your condition. Maintain a healthy diet that avoids simple carbohydrates (sweets) and trans-fats or saturated fats (butter and fried foods).  Some people living with emphysema have found that diets with more monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats (the "good" fats) and fewer carbohydrates make it easier to breathe. See a professional dietician before attempting to later your diet in this way. You can find more information on developing better eating habits at How to Eat Healthy. In addition to its other health benefits, drinking plenty of water will help thin the excess mucus associated with emphysema,...

One of the supposed advantages of a water birth is that it supports your body and allows you to easily position yourself upright. This can be a more comfortable birthing position for many women as opposed to giving birth on one's back.  You will sit upright during labor and the late stages of pushing during birth. The water supports your weight and allows you to more easily maneuver your body in a comfortable position.  Some evidence suggests pushing the baby out is easier in water than it is in air, and the upright position increases the opening of the pelvis during birth.  Many women are concerned the upright position will cause them to accidentally release their bowels. While this can occur, it rarely causes complications and many women do not notice. A midwife or doctor can easily remove any excrement from the water. While we cannot know for sure how babies feel during birth, many advocates for water birth believe the experience is less traumatic.  The warm waters will ideally mimic the atmosphere or your uterus, easing the intensity of the baby's transition into the world.  While many worry babies will inhale water, most babies will not take their first breaths until they're lifted safely out of the water. Babies are usually only at risk of breathing underwater if their head is brought to the surface before the rest of the body is born or if there was an issue with oxygen levels in the placenta during labor. A baby's first breath is one of the most stressful events of a water birth as mothers and doctors worry about a baby breathing underwater. However, with proper precautions and protocol your baby should take his first breath safely above the surface.  A baby should be brought to the surface shortly after the final push. The baby should be submerged for no more than a few minutes. Depending on your plan, either your birth partner or your midwife/doctor will bring the baby to the surface of the water.  When the umbilical cord or placenta tear, the baby is no longer supplied with oxygen. Make sure your...

One of the typical reasons for Aloe vera plant death is root rot. In order to determine if this is the case, you need to first take the plant out of its pot.  Loosely hold the base of the plant and the bottom of your pot. Tip the pot upside down, and continue holding the plant with your other hand. Hit the bottom of the pot with your hand or knock it against a table ledge (or other hard surface).  Depending on the size of your plant, you may need another person to help you. One person should hold the plant base with both hands, while the other person tips the pot upside down and hits the bottom.. You might also find it helpful to jostle the pot back and forth until the plant comes loose. If you still have difficulties removing your plant with two sets of hands, you can run a trowel or knife around the interior of the pot and try releasing it again, or push some of the soil out through the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot. If your plant still does not come out of the pot, you may need to break your pot, but this is a last resort.  While releasing the Aloe Vera plant from its pot, be sure that you are keeping the plant itself as steady as possible. All the movement should be centered on the pot, not the plant itself. In other words, hold, don’t pull, the plant. Hitting the bottom of the pot will keep your roots intact, and gravity will push the plant downward. Examine the roots and determine how many of the roots are still healthy. Mushy roots are characteristic of root rot and need to be removed. Any roots that aren’t black or mushy are good and can be kept.  If you see a lot of healthy roots and only a section of dead or mushy roots, you can likely save your plant without too much trouble, but you’ll need to cut away the damaged roots. You can use a sharp, sterilized knife to cut away the dead roots, but make sure to get them all. If you notice that the majority of your plant has damaged roots, it will take a little more effort to save the plant, and it may be beyond saving. In this case, you can try...

Достаньте алоэ вера из горшка. Осмотрите корни. Выберите горшок на одну треть больше, чем корневая система. Используйте почву, предназначенную для кактусов и суккулентов. Пересадите алоэ вера. Не поливайте растение сразу же после пересадки.


One out of five people with shingles will develop post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN).  You may have PHN if you are experiencing severe pain in the same area where you had your shingles rash. PHN can last for weeks or months.  Some people can experience symptoms for years.  The older you are, the more likely you are to develop PHN.  If you experience pain when things touch your skin (e.g., clothes, wind, people), you may have PHN. If you wait too long to seek treatment, you may be more likely to develop PHN. While PHN is the most common complication, there are other complications such as pneumonia, hearing problems, blindness, brain inflammation (encephalitis), or death.  Scarring, bacterial skin infection, and local muscle weakness are also possible complications. If you think you are suffering from PHN or other shingles complications, you should go see your doctor. Your doctor will be able to develop a treatment plan to manage your complications.  Your treatment plan will be focused on managing your chronic pain.  Your treatment plan may include topical agents such as lidocaine, analgesics such as oxycodone, anti-convulsants such as gabapentin (Neurontin) or pregabalin (Lyrica), or psychosocial interventions. Many people may experience depression or other mental health issues when they deal with chronic pain.  Your doctor may prescribe you antidepressants or recommend that you receive cognitive behavioral therapy. Your cognitive behavioral therapy may include relaxation techniques or hypnosis.  Both of these techniques are effective for managing chronic pain. If you are 60 and older, you should get the shingles vaccine.  Even though you have had shingles before, you should still get the vaccine. You can get the vaccine at your doctor's office or at the pharmacy.  Your shingles vaccine will be covered by Medicare Part D plans or your private health insurance.  You should wait until your rash has disappeared before you get vaccinated.  Talk with your doctor to decide the best time for you to get the vaccine. Living...

One pound is equal to 3,500 calories, so 5 pounds equals 17,500. Over the course of 14 days, this equals a 1,250 calorie deficit per day. You can create part of this deficit with exercise, but you will also need to cut calories from your diet to meet your weight loss goal of 5 pounds in 2 weeks.  Although cutting calories results in weight loss, cutting too many calories out from your diet can actually end up in slower weight loss, nutrient deficiencies and fatigue. Also, remember that you're burning calories through exercise as well. This in combination with a smaller calorie deficit from your diet will help you reach your goal easily. Use a food journal or food tracking app to find out how many calories you're currently eating and subtract 500 to 750 from that number. Also continue to track your calories to ensure you're not eating too much and staying within your calorie goal. Breakfast is an important meal, especially when you're trying to lose weight.  Don't just choose any breakfast food. This meal should be rich in protein and fiber to help fuel your day and keep you feeling satisfied longer.  The combination of higher protein amounts and higher fiber help you feel more satisfied long after your meal has been completed. In addition, the fiber adds bulk to your meal so you feel more full. Try oatmeal with low-fat milk, 0% fat Greek yogurt with ¼ cup of low calorie granola and a handful of berries or a 2-egg omelet with non-starchy veggies or a boiled egg. Losing 5 pounds in 2 weeks can be easy, but certain diet patterns make it even easier to do. Limiting some carbohydrates in your diet can help you shed pounds a little quicker.  Carbohydrates are found in many foods. However, limiting certain types of carbs may help you lose that 5 pounds easier than just following a low calorie diet alone. Carbohydrates are found in the following foods: sugar or foods that have added sugar, dairy products, grains, starchy vegetables and legumes and fruits. Instead of eating breads, rice or pasta, replace these carbs...

One reason a lot of people want to learn to count in Korean is because they have to do so during stretching and drills in Taekwondo. If that’s why you want to learn Korean numbers, it could be useful to study other Korean Taekwondo terms.  A front kick is Ap Chagi in Korean (pronounced “Ap-cha-gee”). A kick is Chagi (“Cha-gee”). A Roundhouse Kick is Dollyo Chagi (“Dole-ya-cha-gee”).   Some important Taekwondo commands include: Attention or Charyut ("Chari-yut"); Return or Baro ("Baa-row”); and Yell or Kihap ("Kee-yah-p").   Other Korean words used commonly in Taekwondo, include: Thank you (“Kam-sa-ham-ni-da”); Hello – (“An-yong-ha-se-yo”); and Goodbye (“An-nyong-hi Ga-se-yo”). Maybe you don’t want to stop with 10.  It’s actually really easy to count higher than 10 in the Korean system if you understand a few concepts.  The word “Yul” means 10 in Korean. So, if you want to say the number 11, you say Yul and the word for 1, Hah nah: Yul Hah nah. And so on for numbers 11 through 19. The word is pronounced “yull.” The number twenty is “Seu-Mool” – pronounced “Sew-mool.” For numbers 21 through 29, start with the Korean word for 20. So, the number 21 is Seu-Mool plus the word for 1: Seu-Mool Hah nah, and so on. Use the same approach to count even higher using these words: Thirty (So-Roon); Forty (Ma-Hoon); Fifty (Sheen); Sixty (Yes-Soon); Seventy (E-Roon); Eighty (Yo-Doon); Ninety (Ah-Hoon); and 100 (Baek). Korean might look like Chinese or Japanese to the untrained eye, but it's actually very different and, luckily for you - easier.  The Korean Hangul characters combine only 24 letters and a few simple variations. This isn't true of other Asian languages, which can require learning more than a thousand drawings.   In Korean Hangul script, every character stands for one syllable. And every syllable in Korean starts with a consonant. In some ways, learning English is harder because words like "read" are pronounced completely differently depending on context. That's not true in Korean!

TL;DR in Russian:

Применяйте корейские слова для ударов и команд тхэквондо. Посчитайте после десяти по-корейски. Узнайте, чем корейский язык отличается от других языков.


One reason that sweating occurs is to keep the body cool. If you live in a place where the weather is warm or if your work or school keeps the thermostat high, then your body is more likely to produce sweat. Thus, if you do not want to sweat, you should do your best to avoid warm temperatures. This is not easy to do, but when you experience these feelings your autonomic nervous system reacts by producing sweat. Therefore, do your best to remain calm. While exercise is important for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, it is also another reason your body produces sweat. When you exercise, you raise your body temperature, so you sweat to keep cool. Thus, if you do not want to sweat, you should stick to exercises such as swimming, where it will not be obvious that you are sweating. If your clothes are tight and close to your skin, the clothing is more likely to absorb sweat. Additionally, close fitting clothes may make you feel warmer, causing sweating. Therefore, you should stick to clothing that is loose. This will also allow air to circulate. The more tightly knit a shirt is, the less it breathes and the warmer you will feel. Silk, for example, is a bad choice if you want to avoid sweating as it is tightly knit. Shirts that are loosely woven, will allow more air to circulate. For men, this step is easy, since they often wear undershirts. However, as a female, you can also use this method. The idea is that by wearing a few layers, you have more fabric to absorb the sweat. Thus, it is less likely that sweat shows through the outermost layer. Consider camisoles, or thin shirts, which you can wear underneath your shirt for the day. You can even bring an extra one along in case you want to change. Colors such as navy and black are good at hiding most wet sweat marks that appear underneath your arms. Additionally, white usually also does a pretty good job of hiding sweat. Colors to avoid include: Grey, bright colors, as well as most light colors, which will all show sweat. You should avoid these so if you do sweat, it...

Избегайте высоких температур. Старайтесь сохранять спокойствие, когда чувствуете смущение, тревогу, злость или страх. Избегайте физической нагрузки. Носите просторную одежду или майки без рукавов. Избегайте одежды из плотных тканей. Носите несколько слоев одежды. Носите одежду темного цвета. Подумайте об использовании прокладок для подмышек. Обрабатывайте подмышечные впадины детской присыпкой.

One reason that you might wake up with a stomach ache is that you are thirsty. Dehydration can cause a stomach ache and since you have just gone all night without water, you may be slightly dehydrated. Pour yourself a glass of water and drink it slowly. You don't want to drink it too fast and shock your empty stomach.  You can also add lemon to it as well. It can help calm any stomach irritation caused by the dehydration. You can also try to drink juice or a sports drink to help replenish any nutrients or electrolytes that you might be missing. If you wake up with pains in your stomach, you may need something to calm your stomach down. Ginger, whether it is in tea, raw, or in ginger ale, can help calm your stomach and make it feel better. It promotes the release of enzymes that help neutralize stomach acid and contains phenols that relax the stomach muscles and irritated tissues. One of the best ways to get pure ginger is by making a homemade ginger tea.  To make the tea, start with 2 inch piece of ginger root and water. Peel and cut the ginger root into small pieces, then crush the pieces into even smaller bits. Boil 2-3 cups of water and add the ginger once it's boiling. Let it boil for 3-5 minutes. Remove it from heat. You can strain the ginger out when they pour it into a mug if you want or you can leave it in and drink it along with the tea. You can also drizzle some honey in it to make it sweeter. You can simply eat ginger if you prefer that to drinking the homemade tea. Chamomile tea is a great way to soothe your stomach. The chamomile in the tea helps reduce inflammation, which can help relax the muscles in your stomach that are contributing to the ache. If you are not a fan of chamomile, you can brew most herbal teas to help with stomach issues. Steer clear of peppermint tea. It ca relax certain parts of your esophageal sphincter, which leads to heartburn and acid reflux. Unlike normal water, coconut water contains electrolytes and natural nutrients that can help alleviate stomach pain. The water...

One simple way to embrace minimalism as a family is to start a decluttering bin and placing it in a central area in your home. You may then encourage your family members to put items they do not want or need in the bin. You could even have separate bins for items to donate, items to sell, and items to throw out. This could simplify the process further and make it clear where each item is going.  To motivate your children to declutter their area, you may tell them they can get a half hour of extra play time with their favorite toy or media item if they do one hour of decluttering. This could encourage them to take the decluttering challenge seriously and put a dent in their stuff. If you have teenagers in the house, you can try telling them that they can have extra time on the computer or on their phones if they participate in the decluttering of their room. As a family you should work together to declutter your home and be more minimalist with the things you own. Go through each room of your house together and throw out items you no longer use or no longer need. Be quick and efficient as you do this, as you do not want to get too attached or sentimental about certain items.  You may try to embrace compromise as a family so you can still keep items that you value. For example, you may all make a deal that you can keep one or two sentimental items in your rooms and get rid of the rest. If you cannot throw away too many items, you may try using storage bins to store the items so they are out of sight and the room is free of clutter. As a family you can all agree to practice minimalism through your actions as well as your possessions. You may all assess your schedules and make an agreement to be minimal about the activities you take on individually and as a family. Work together to see if you can take on activities that are really important or essential and drop activities that may not be benefiting you or taking up too much of your time.  For example, you may ask your children if there is one activity they do...

TL;DR in Russian:

Установите корзину порядка. Вместе переберите вещи в каждой комнате. Составьте новый минималистический распорядок. Создайте минималистические традиции.


One simple way to get a guy to go out with you is to simply ask you. It's alright to be a little nervous or shy, but the worst he can say is "No!" It may sting, but you will live to date another day. For example, you could say, "Hey, do you want to go out on a date sometime? I kind of like you." This step can be really scary! You don't want to be hurt. But, the only way the guy will know you like him is if you tell him. Then, maybe he'll ask you out so you don't have to ask him. You may find out that he likes you back. For instance, you could say, "Josh, I just want you to know that I really like you. As more than a friend." You don't always have to walk up and ask him out. You can give him hints or work up to asking him out. Maybe he'll take the hint and ask you out. For instance, you could say, "I know you're into vinyl records. Do you know any good stores nearby?" When he answers, you could say, "Cool, want to go sometime?"

TL;DR in Russian:

Действуйте напрямую. Признайтесь в своих чувствах, чтобы побудить его пригласить вас на свидание. Намекните, если боитесь спрашивать напрямую.


One simple, direct, and fairly long-lasting way to get rid of unwanted hand moisture is simply to soak it up! You can do this a variety of ways, including applying an absorbent powder to your hands. Try pouring a thimble-sized amount of baby powder into your hands and spreading it around gently and evenly — you should immediately notice your hands feel cooler and dryer. Below are just a few more powders you may want to consider using:  Chalk Talcum powder (note that talc can be poisonous if inhaled in significant quantities)  Cornstarch (sometimes specifically used for this purpose in Hispanic countries, where it is called "maizena") Baking soda Many people apply antiperspirant under their arms every today to control underarm sweating. Believe it or not, you can get the same effect by spreading a little antiperspirant on your palms. Dry your hands by wiping them with a towel before you apply your antiperspirant so that it can do its job of plugging your sweat pores properly.  Make sure to use an antiperspirant — not just a deodorant. Though the two products are often combined into one, they're not the same thing. The former fights excessive sweating, while the latter simply controls the odor from sweating. For the strongest effect, use an antiperspirant with aluminum compounds as its active ingredients. Aluminum is one of the strongest, most effective antiperspirant chemicals available. For serious situations, you may even want to investigate prescription antiperspirants (like Drysol) which have higher concentrations of aluminum. For mild cases of clammy hands, sometimes simply carrying around something you can use to soak up moisture throughout the day is enough to beat your clamminess. Cloth handkerchiefs make great re-usable hand towels, while disposable paper towels and alcohol wipes offer instant convenience. Though alcohol wipes are wet, they don't usually make hands moist in the long run. Alcohol evaporates very quickly, taking other sources of moisture with it as it leaves the hands. In fact, some...

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте детскую присыпку или иной абсорбирующий порошок. Обрабатывайте ладони антиперспирантом. Носите с собой носовой платок или спиртовые салфетки. Чаще мойте руки.


One sure-fire way to earn coins for Habbo is to complete surveys and corporate offers through the official Habbo website. To do this, first, visit the "Earn Credits" page under the "Credits" tab on the official Habbo site. Sign in and pick an available offer, then follow the prompts as directed to earn your credits. Keep track of your credit deliveries by using the "Support" link on the credit offer page. Eventually, you should notice your new credits in your profile's purse.  Another similar opportunity is the Watch & Earn service. The premise is simple: you watch an advertisement, and you're given a random prize (usually cheap furniture, but sometimes coins). To access Watch & Earn, click the Watch & Earn button in the top right corner of your screen (it will only appear when video offers are available).  If you use offers and surveys outside of  the official Habbo.com website be careful to verify their legitimacy. Some third party sites may offer coins for completing surveys and offers in a way that seems similar to legitimate methods but could actually be a scamming attempt. Some things to consider when judging a websites intent are the age of the domain, the URLs status on security websites like McAfee and Norton and whether you are being asked to do anything dangerous like download executables. Under no circumstances should you enter your Habbo password outside of the official Habbo login page. There are dozens of games to be played in Habbo. Some are official Habbo creations, while others are made by the users. Some are just for fun, while others are high-stakes.

One the biggest predictors of both a long, healthy life and happiness is a strong social network. Long-term relationships can provide support during tough times, increase life and work satisfaction, and reduce your risk of future illnesses.  Check in with friends you haven’t seen in a while. Send them letters, emails, or presents in the mail. Make sure to remember important dates, like birthdays or anniversaries. Form bonds in your community by befriending your neighbors and other local residents. You might volunteer at a local school, house of worship, charity, or political action group to form new connections. You don’t need to have a ton of friends to reap the benefits. In fact, a few, strong friendships can be more powerful than having several shallow acquaintances. A pet can help decrease cholesterol, blood pressure, and feelings of loneliness or anxiety. It is important, however, to only adopt a pet if you have the time and money to care for it properly.  A cat or dog can cost $1000 USD for the first year of ownership and around $500 USD for each year after that. Pets can have unexpected medical issues as well.  Adopting a pet is a good option if you prefer to spend more time at home. Most pets require a few hours of care and companionship a day. By helping others, you can also help yourself. Volunteering and assisting people in need can provide a powerful sense of fulfillment. Look for ways to support and assist people you love.  You don’t have to say “yes” to every favor, but you might give someone a hand when they need someone to assist them with a task. Sometimes just talking to be people can help them, especially if they are going through a tough time. Check in with loved ones with a phone call or card when they may be feeling down. Volunteer at a charity that serves an issue you care about. You might walk dogs at a shelter, raise money for medical research, or collect clothing for children in need. Relationships with people who express negative, controlling, or impulsive behaviors can make you...

TL;DR in Russian:

Укрепляйте отношения с семьей и друзьями. Заведите домашнего питомца, если вы сможете о нем заботиться. Помогайте другим. Держитесь подальше от  токсичных людей.


One thing that works about half the time is attaching reflective tape (such as Irri-Tape™, Bird Blinder™, Brite Way™ and others) near the area where woodpeckers have caused damage:  You can try hanging aluminum pie plates, old CDs or other shiny items, but reflective tape works better. Use strips 3 or 4 feet (0.91 or 1.2 m) long, attached so that one end dangle and move in the wind. If the birds are pecking on your siding, attach several strips a few feet apart. Keep in mind that the tape deteriorates over time, and only works when there's wind to move it. Hang a flag or decoration near the area for a more visually appealing solution. A windsock or windmill that moves quickly when the wind blows may work to scare woodpeckers away. Sound-based deterrents such as ultrasonic recordings of a woodpecker in distress or with predator sounds, have been tested and proven to have no effect at all, at least on Pileated woodpeckers.   Place several wind chimes on and around your house. The noise from these chimes may possibly discourage woodpecker visitors. If a Hairy woodpecker, Lewis’ woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker or Northern Flicker is trying to nest in your home, attaching a nesting box where they are pecking (or very close by) will give them a better home. Be sure to pack it full of wood chips in February or March so they can fulfill their instinctive drive to excavate. These woodpeckers are the only ones know to use man-made nest boxes for nesting.

One thing that you'll notice on most successful fanpages is that their photos all follow the same general theme. While this doesn't mean that your photos need to look exactly alike, there are a couple of things you can do to ensure that your Instagram content looks uniform:  Use the same filter on your photos (or don't use a filter at all) Stick to a color theme (e.g., use all color or all black-and-white) Reaching out to other Instagram fanpages will both help expose your content to new people and give you an idea of what your content should look like as well. Following other fanpages will also help you stay informed of important information for your topic. Keeping your fanpage's content up to date with the latest information and news about your selected topic is crucial, as many of your followers will expect to get their news from you and similar pages. For example, if the person about whom you made your fanpage is an artist who just announced a new album, you'll want to announce the album on your page as well. Your fanpage's followers will undoubtedly have some comments, questions, and suggestions for your content; responding to them is crucial, as it will both help you retain followers and potentially inspire others to follow you.  Talking to your followers isn't just about engagement—it's about creating a positive community where people who enjoy the same topic can converse without interruption. Much of a fanpage's success can be determined by looking at how the fanpage's community interacts with each other. As with any other social media, success on Instagram often correlates directly with posting a few times per day, especially when starting out. At the very least, try to post twice per day. Make sure not to overdo it. Posting more than 5 times per day may dissuade other people from following you. While photos are the bulk of your Instagram content, be sure to add a caption to each post before publishing it. Captions create an opportunity to talk to your fanpage's followers or ask questions, and they...

TL;DR in Russian:

Определите визуальный стиль. Взаимодействуйте с другими фанатскими страницами. Публикуйте самые свежие материалы. Общайтесь с подписчиками. Часто делайте публикации. Придумывайте описания к фотографиям. Используйте популярные хэштеги.


One way of taking your mind off things is to be with other people. Don't let yourself spend time being distracted and depressed alone.  Call some friends and plan to do something together, or get some close friends to come over and have a movie night, a dinner party, or play a game of some sort. You may want to take your mind off things, but you may also want to talk out the thing that's bothering you or distracting you. If you're feeling upset over a break-up, a recent disappointment, or some other issue, it might be a good idea to have some sympathetic friends to talk with instead, rather than distract. Whether you live at home or not, whether you have a big family or a small family, whether you are close with your family or not, spending some quality time with your family can help take your mind off other things. Organize plans to do something out with your family, or you could just head to the homestead and spend time at home. Even if you're just eating dinner and watching television, doing it with your family can be more relaxing and comforting than anything else. If your family and friends are busy, consider heading to a public place and just being around people. Even if you don't want to sit somewhere and try to talk to strangers, people watching can be a nice way of keeping your mind off things.  Head to the library, a coffee house, a bar, a local park, or a record store to socialize or people-watch. While it's true that bars can be great neighborhood hangouts and places to socialize over a few drinks, drinking is not recommended as a way to distract your mind, as it can lead to serious problems with alcohol dependency. Go to the bar to socialize, not to drink your trouble away. If you can't have your friends come to you, send something to your friends. Write up a letter to get in touch, asking questions to help catch up and filling your friend in on your own life. Want to go really old school? Make a mix tape and send it to a friend in the mail.

TL;DR in Russian:

Позвоните друзьям. Проводите время с семьей. Отправляйтесь в общественное место. Напишите старомодное письмо или отправьте открытку далеким друзьям.


One way that people give into their anxiety is getting trapped in their heads and thinking about worst-case scenarios or situations that are not real. Be present on your date by staying in the moment. Staying in the moment can help keep you focused on the person in front of you, which can help you stay calm.  Tell yourself, "I'm going to enjoy this moment and not listen to my thoughts." Thoughts are not reality, and they keep you away from the moment. Pushing your thoughts aside can help you enjoy your date. Focus on what is going on around you. Don't think, "My date doesn't like me." Instead, pay attention to your date and interact with them. They probably like you quite a bit since they agreed to go on the date in the first place. Don’t forget that your date likes you, too. They agreed to go on a date with you, so that means you both already have some kind of mutual attraction. Consider why you like this person. Are they physically attractive? Or do you think they have a nice personality? It doesn't matter why you like them. Remember that going out with the person you like is an exciting and happy moment. If you look at your date as someone you don't know well, you may get nervous and won't be able to just be yourself. Talk to your date as you would a friend. Playfully tease them as you might your friends, tell silly stories, and don't be afraid to show off your wonderful personality. Treating them as someone you want to be around, and who wants to be around you, can help you feel more at ease. Not focusing on the romantic pressure can also help you act more natural. Almost everyone who goes on a first date is nervous. That means you’re not the only one nervous on this date. Sometimes, reminding yourself that the other person is just as nervous can help calm you down and help you enjoy yourself. Some people think that they need to fill up every silence because silences make them nervous. They may also think that silences mean awkwardness and that the date isn’t going well. Two people who don’t know each...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сосредоточьтесь на настоящем. Напоминайте себе о том, что вам нравится этот человек. Думайте о нем как о друге. Помните, ваш спутник тоже нервничает. Поощряйте своего спутника говорить. Не спешите с выводами. Выполняйте  дыхательную гимнастику.


One way to avoid sending signals that will lead your guy friend on (make him think that you like him) is to send non-romantic signals with your body language. Body language signifies whether or not you care, are lying, and how much you’re listening.  Body language includes eye contact, facial expressions, tone of voice, posture, timing, and touch. Use this knowledge to send signals of friendship instead of romance, such as maintaining a conversational distance of 3 ft (1 meter), refraining from physical touch, and sitting across a table for lunch or dinner instead of on the same side.  Avoid flirting, which is a combination of body language and conversation meant to attract a partner, usually for amusement rather than with serious intent. Don’t make long, deep eye contact, touch unnecessarily, or try to engage in witty banter. Your guy friend may ask you out repeatedly; keep saying no. Even if he doesn’t keep asking you out, say no through your actions by having firm boundaries about when you will spend time with him and how often you will use your cell phone to communicate with him. Restricting time spent and using body language cues will help you to keep saying no even if he doesn’t keep asking. You want to keep him from being your boyfriend, not end the friendship altogether. Be kind in your rejection. Don’t make faces when he asks you out (such as humor or disgust), and be honest. Try to get things back to the way they were as soon as you can after you turn him down. You may feel weird about him at first, but after repeated interactions similar to the way it was before he asked you out, you will eventually feel more comfortable.

TL;DR in Russian:

Следите за языком тела. Не меняйте свой ответ. Ведите себя дружелюбно.
