The Atkins Diet recommends drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day to help maintain a regular regimen. Water helps with constipation by keeping stools looser. The Institute of Medicine recommends that men drink at least 13 cups of water a day, while women should drink at least 9. You can count caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, and diet soda as part of your water intake. However, too much caffeine can make you crave sugar, which is off-limits on the Atkins Diet, so limit your intake of caffeinated beverages. For instance, fresh cucumbers are high in water, so they can help keep you hydrated. They're also non-starchy, so they're approved for the Atkins Diet. The Atkins Diet requires that you skip fruits (lemon or lime is okay) and eliminate starchy vegetables, especially for the first few weeks, until you begin to maintain your weight. However, you can add certain non-starchy vegetables to water add interest and to flavor it, such as slices of cucumber, a few fresh strawberry slices. You can also use flavor packets sweetened with small amounts of: sucralose (Splenda), stevia, aspartame (NutraSweet) or saccharine (Sweet-n-Low). However, you do need to count these packets as a gram of carbohydrates because of the fillers in these types of sweeteners.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выпивайте хотя бы 8 стаканов (2 литра) воды в день. Не употребляйте слишком много кофеина. Ешьте некрахмалистые овощи с высоким содержанием жидкости. Попробуйте пить ароматизированную воду.


The BRAT diet is great for pregnant women who are suffering from diarrhea as the foods it contains are low in fiber and easy to digest, but still highly nutritious. The BRAT diet is easy on the gastrointestinal tract and rarely causes diarrhea.  Bananas are high in potassium, which helps to replace the potassium that is lost during diarrhea. Bananas also help to thicken the stool, which prevent diarrhea. Applesauce (made at home using only apples) contains pectin, which helps to thicken stool. It's also high in natural sugars, which provides energy. Rice and toast are simple foods which are easily digested. They also work as binding agents to thicken the stool. Clear soups and broths contain no solid particles so they require little to no digestion. This means that they are very unlikely to cause problems making them a great choice for expectant mothers during early pregnancy.   Eating clear soups and broths can be combined with the BRAT diet to ensure that you are getting all of your required vitamins and nutrients. When following this diet, try to eat five or six smaller meals a day, rather than three large ones, as this further decreases the chance of diarrhea and helps to keep your energy levels up. Spicy foods and food that contains high amounts of fat are much more likely to cause diarrhea, as they are difficult to digest and may irritate the gastrointestinal tract.  Stay away from high fat meat products such as bacon and fatty red meat. Instead, opt for low-fat proteins such as turkey, skinless chicken breasts and white fish. You should also avoid cooking with too much oil or butter. Stay away from spicy foods such as most Asian, Indian and Mexican cuisines. Avoid cooking with hot spices or peppers at home. Many women become lactose intolerant during pregnancy, which means that you may experience diarrhea after drinking milk or eating other dairy products.  The one exception to this is yogurt containing live bacteria such as lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium. The organisms in the yogurt...

The Bible itself doesn't contain any special instructions for its own disposal. Though the word of God is considered by Christians to be holy and eternal, the physical document that contains the word is acknowledged as being neither. Still, with its millennia-long history, its billions of devotees, and its rich spiritual tradition, it's important to show the Bible the respect it is due, even if you're not Christian. Virtually any reasonable method of Bible disposal is appropriate as long as it's done with virtuous intentions and with careful respect.  To show your respect, you may want to recite a prayer (or prayers) that hold(s) special meaning for you as you dispose of your Bible, though this is by no means required.  Never destroy a Bible with a method that is deliberately irreverent. Though it's not inherently sinful to treat an object of paper and ink with disrespect, it is sinful to deliberately denigrate God. One way to dispose of an old Bible is to return it to the Earth with a respectful burial. The burial may be as "involved" as you'd like (within reason), though a humble burial is just as valid as one with more pomp and circumstance. Below are just a few ideas you may want to consider for your burial:  Gathering with family members in quiet reflection Saying a prayer as the Bible is buried Enlisting the help of a priest to bless the Bible Marking the buried Bible's location with a small marker Another way to dispose of a Bible is to respectfully cremate it (similar to how many national flags are retired). Though some who wish to disrespect or desecrate God's word do so by burning it, there is nothing inherently wrong with burning the physical Bible so long as proper solemnity and respect are observed. Generally, burning a Bible means building a bonfire or pyre large enough to completely burn the book up, then carefully placing the Bible in the fire and reverently watching as the Bible is burnt. As above, while cremating your Bible, you may want to consider saying a prayer, reflecting in silence,...

The College Board, the official makers of the SAT have released The Official SAT Study Guide, which is a good starting point for your SAT resources. But there is also a plethora of study books out there for students to choose from. Your local and school libraries are likely to have a good selection so flip through them and see which appeal to you. But do not merely read the book cover to cover; actually do practice questions (preferably from official tests) and analyze the ones you've missed, or you will see little or no improvement. The College Board website (http://www.collegeboard.org) includes study tips, practice tests, a new SAT question of the day, and test day simulators. They also provide a feature to help you plan your own personal study guide, tailored to your needs. Private tutors can be a great resource, especially for students that don't know how to practice good study habits. There are many companies that offer private SAT tutoring, including The Princeton Review, Kaplan, and TestMasters. You can also ask your school guidance counselor which local tutoring service they recommend. There's a reason that books and websites keep offering practice tests. It's because there's no better way to find out what's going to be on your test. When you take a practice test, pretend it's the real test. Sit in a quiet space where there are no distractions and time yourself. Do not look ahead to the answers at the back of the book. At the end of the test, assess what you did right and wrong. Practice reading long, comprehensive passages on a topic that will test your understanding. Try to stretch yourself by reading up on topics that you don't find interesting or don't know much about. Then have somebody test on you what you learned or write down a short analysis. This will force you to increase your attention span, analyze a topic, and practice close reading skills. However, if you are going to take the SAT in the near future, doing the reading comprehension section on the SAT would be a much wiser use of time....

The Core Voltage sliders is locked by default to prevent accidental damage to your card. This alone should tell you how potentially serious doing this is. Check the "Unlock voltage control" box in the General tab and click OK. You will unlikely be able to select exactly 10mV, as voltages can only be increased by set amounts. Click Apply. Once you've increased your voltage, run your benchmarking program to see if your overclock is stable now. Remember, you left your settings at a speed that was unstable, so if it is stable now after raising your voltage you can go back to increasing your clock speed. If your overclock is stable now, start raising the Core Clock speed in 10MHz intervals again, running benchmarks each time. Repeat this until you reach the next instability. As voltage increases, the temperature of your GPU will start to go up. As you continue the process of increasing your voltage, keep an eye on your temperature readings in GPU-Z. It's recommended to keep temperatures below 90 °C (194 °F), but many enthusiasts prefer to keep it even cooler, such as 80° and below. Improving your case's and card's cooling can help you increase your overclocking capabilities, but can be expensive and time-consuming. Once you reach your next plateau, raise the Core Voltage by 10mV again. Benchmark, and then repeat the Core Clock process. Remember to keep watching your temperature, as this will be one of the big limiting factors in how far you can take the overclock. Remember the notes you took about your card earlier? Make sure that you don't exceed the safe voltage limit for your card when you are making your adjustments. At a certain point, your overclock will stop being effective. You may reach your temperature threshold, your maximum voltage, or your clock speeds may just not be stable no matter how much your voltage increases. If that's the case then you can move on to the next step. Once you've hit the limit with your Core Clock, it's time to do the same with your Memory Clock. Repeat the process by raising...

The Domestic Relations laws for New York are very specific on residency. Section 230 states that to be eligible to file for divorce in New York, you must meet one of the requirements.  If you were married in another state, either you or your spouse must have lived in New York for at least two continuous years before the filing date of your divorce. You must have lived in New York for at least one continuous year if you were married in New York state or you and your spouse lived together in the state as a married couple. If you will be alleging grounds other than "irretrievable breakdown" (no-fault divorce,) you and your spouse must be able to show one continuous year of residence and that the grounds occurred in New York state. For example, if you are alleging adultery, you must be able to show that the affair was consummated inside state lines. In an expedited divorce where the parties agree on all terms, the most common legal reason cited is section 170(7) of the Domestic Relations law, which states the relationship between the spouses has broken down hopelessly for a period of at least six months.  Other grounds include adultery, imprisonment, legal separation for over a year, cruelty, and abandonment.  Unless you and your spouse both agree to grounds, such as admitted adultery or imprisonment, strongly consider using the no-fault option. Divorce is stressful enough without placing blame in public documents. One exception is abandonment where you cannot locate your spouse. Alleging abandonment can help you get permission for service by publication. Grounds in New York are very specific. For example, cruelty must rise to the level of domestic violence to meet the standard. The acts of cruelty cannot have happened more than five years ago. You will be required to detail the acts with dates and places. If you want to allege specific grounds for your divorce, you should consult with a family law attorney to make sure you draft the petition with the level of detail required by the court. In an uncontested...

The Dremel is lightweight and easy to maneuver, making it deal for small detailing and little cuts. It can be difficult to give smooth, long curves, because you're mostly working free hand. But, you can make several straight cuts to get the kind of edge you're looking for and then even up the edge with the sanding bit. Avoid using the Dremel for long or large cuts that would be better suited to a larger saw. Depending on the object or material you're cutting, secure the object with a vise or clamps. Do not hold the material you're cutting in your hand. A speed that is too high or too low can cause damage to your motor, the bit, or the material you're working on. If you're not sure, check your owner's manual to see what speed is recommended for your particular Dremel and material.  If you're cutting thicker or tougher material, make several passes to cut it. If the material is too hard and thick to cut without difficulty, you may need to use an oscillating saw rather than a Dremel. If you see smoke and discoloration, your speed is too high. If you hear the sound of the motor dropping or slowing down, you may be pressing too hard. Lighten the pressure and readjust the speed. Fit a flat saw blade onto your Dremel. Remember to put on eye and ear protection before you begin cutting the plastic. Set the speed between 4 and 8 so you have enough power, but don't burn out the motor. Sand any rough edges once you've made the cuts.  Avoid pressing down too hard while cutting, which can damage your Dremel and your bits. Depending on your project, it may be helpful to draw an outline of your cuts onto the plastic. This will make it easier to ensure your cuts are where you want them to go. Secure a metal cutting wheel onto your Dremel. Put on eye and ear protection before you start cutting. Turn on your Dremel and set the power between 8 and 10. Make sure the metal you're cutting is affixed firmly in place. Gently touch the Dremel to the metal for a few seconds at a time until you see the metal being cut. You'll also see...

The Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994 outlines the rights of both employers and employees with respect to accessing driving records. Among other aspects, this law forbids any state's Department of Licensing from providing personal identifying information about any driver without their consent. State statutes may govern these practices where you operate your business. It's a good idea to find out before requesting any records. This information should be available from the website of your state's government. Getting consent will shield you from potential legal liability if an employee ever tries to sue you for violating their privacy.Documentation may be required to actually obtain the records, and written consent is a stronger legal safeguard than oral consent.  An easy way to do this is to simply specify on the application that allowing you to check potential employees' driving records is a condition of employment. You can also use a driving record release form. The form should include information like the following: “I understand that driving a company vehicle (or my own vehicle) is required for this position. Furthermore, I acknowledge that having and maintaining a satisfactory driving record is a condition of employment and will remain one. Therefore, I agree to allow [insert company name] to check my driving record, both before making a hiring decision and periodically thereafter. I understand the company will use this information for employment purposes and will not furnish the information to third parties without my prior written consent. Furthermore, I agree to release [insert company name] and its employees and agents from any liability for damage which may result from furnishing the requested information.” Then include a signature block for the employee to print name and date of birth, driver’s license number, and signature and date. Just as is the case for viewing your own driving records, you'll need to know your employees' full name, driver’s license number, and possibly a variety of other...

The French names are written above in italic, with the French pronunciation following in parentheses. An (n) in parentheses represents a nasalized "n."  January: janvier (zhah(n)-vyay)  February: février (fay-vree-yay)  March: mars (mahrs)  April: avril (ah-vreel)  May: mai (meh)  June: juin (zhwa(n))  July: juillet (zhwee-eh)  August: août (oot)  September: septembre (sehp-tah(n)br)  October: octobre (ohk-tohbr)  November: novembre (noh-vah(n)br)  December: décembre (day-sah(n)br) In French, the date is written in "day month year" order, with no commas separating each term. Note that the month is not capitalized. Here are a couple examples (plus the abbreviated version):  4 août 1789 (4/8/1789) 15 mars 2015 (15/3/2015) To read the date out loud, add le to the beginning of the date, and read all dates as cardinal numbers ("five" instead of "fifth"). Here are the previous examples written as you would say them. Study how to count in French if you are not familiar with reading French numbers:  "le quatre août mille sept cent quatre-vingt-neuf" "le quinze mars deux mille quatorze" Every month is a masculine noun, so the article used is always le. When talking about the first day of the month, use "1er" in writing, and say "premier" when speaking aloud. This is the only date that uses ordinal numbers ("first") instead of cardinal ("one"). For example: 1er avril (1/4), spoken "le premier avril"

The Khajit are a natural choice for a Nightblade as they have a race-based bonus to their stealth radius. However, their other race bonuses make them better as a more combat-based Nightblade (they also have bonuses to medium armor and melee attacks). Lean towards a dual wield, instead of a bow, to take advantage of the bonus. Khajit are available to those in the Aldmeri Dominion. Bosmer are another natural choice for a Nightblade. They have a bonus to stealth as well, plus a bonus to bow use. Accordingly lean towards a bow if playing with this race. Bosmer are available to those in the Aldmeri Dominion. Argonians have natural healing abilities, which can seriously come in handy since Nightblades will have to put many of their points into magicka and stamina, rather than health. Their natural weapon bonus is for a Restoration Staff (not the most useful weapon for a Nightblade) so you can choose any weapon you want (bows and dual-wield are best for Nightblades). Argonians are not the best Nightblades but they are the most qualified race available to those in the Ebonheart Pact. Bretons are great at protecting themselves and have a hefty magicka pool from which to draw (magicka is used when executing class-based abilities). Since their emphasis is on magicka, you will need to choose abilities which help them attack effectively, since their abilities to use weapons may be decreased. Bretons are not the best Nightblades but they are the most qualified race available to those in the Daggerfall Covenant.

The Khmer language is ancient and borrows from many other Austroasiatic languages, most notably Thai and Lao. It is similar to other southeast Asian languages such as Vietnamese and Mon, and has a beautiful flowing script. If you know much about Asian language systems, you'll know that this means that Khmer, both in print and spoken aloud, is very different from the English alphabet system.  The Khmer alphabet is alphasyllabic, meaning that each letter represents a syllable rather than one sound like in English. It is written from left to right, with no spaces between words in a given sentence. Khmer contains 33 consonant letters, 14 independent vowels, and 21 vowel diacritics (essentially an accent mark written above or below a letter that changes the way it is pronounced). None of these letters are similar to English, which can make it hard to learn for native English speakers. There are many systems that people use to "romanize" the Khmer language, that is, to render it in roman alphabetic characters like those used in the English language. This can make it hard to learn how to pronounce Khmer phrases, as you will find many variations of how Khmer words are written in phonetically in English. While you can learn the gist of the language by reading about it, the best way to learn to pronounce phrases in Khmer is to listen to native speakers.

While he is not a native speaker, his videos are very helpful if you are a native English speaker just learning about Khmer.

TL;DR in Russian:

Кхмерский алфавит сильно отличается от русского. Поймите, что не существует стандартной русской фонетической системы кхмерского языка. Слушайте кхмерский язык, чтобы максимально изучить фонетическую систему.


The Law of Cosines allows you to solve any triangle when you know two side lengths and measurement of the angle between them. It works on any triangle, and is a very useful formula. The Law of Cosines states that for any triangle with sides a, b, and c, with opposite angles A, B, and C:   c2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab cos(C). The first side that you know should be labeled a, and the angle opposite it is A.  The second side that you know should be labeled b; the angle opposite it is B.  The angle that you know should be labeled C, and the third side, the one you need to solve in order to find the perimeter of the triangle, is side c. For example, imagine a triangle with side lengths 10 and 12, and an angle between them of 97°.  We will assign variables as follows: a = 10, b = 12, C = 97°. You will first need to find the squares of a and b, and add them together.  Then find the cosine of C using the cos function on your calculator, or an online cosine calculator. Multiply cos(C) by 2ab and subtract the product from the sum of a2 + b2.  The result is c2.  Find the square root of this value and you have the length of side c.  Using our example triangle:   c2 = 102 + 122 - 2 × 10 × 12 × cos(97).  c2 = 100 + 144 – (240 × -0.12187)  (Round the cosine to 5 decimal places.) c2 = 244 – (-29.25)  c2 = 244 + 29.25  (Carry the minus symbol through when cos(C) is negative!) c2 = 273.25 c = 16.53 Recall that Perimeter P = a + b + c, so all you need to do is add the length you just calculated for side c to the values you already had for a and b. In our example: 10 + 12 + 16.53 = 38.53, the perimeter of our triangle!

TL;DR in Russian:

The Mayo Clinic recommends that adult women drink 9 cups of water per day, and men 13 cups per day. Not only does this keep your body hydrated and healthy — it also prevents your body from confusing thirst with hunger. If you drink enough water to fill up your stomach, you can trick your body the other way, into thinking it’s full of food when it’s really full of zero-calorie water.  Remember that these amounts are general guidelines and the amount of water required will vary based on your weight and activity level. Keep a water bottle with you so you can sip on water throughout the day. Know how many ounces of water your bottle holds, and make sure you refill it enough times in a day to reach your water goals. If you’re feeling hungry, drink a glass of water and wait 10 minutes. If you’re still feeling hungry, eat a light snack. You’ll often find, though, that a glass of water can stave off snack cravings. One of the easiest ways to cut large amounts of calories from your diet is to stop drinking your calories. The energy drink you use to get your day started, the soda you drink with lunch, and the beers you grab with friends at the end of the workday — those are all empty calories added on top of the actual food you eat. A couple alcoholic drinks with friends might be an important part of your social life. Just make sure you don’t drink to excess. Have water while you’re drinking, both to keep your body hydrated and to keep you from drinking too many alcoholic calories. Aim for a one-to-one ratio of alcoholic drinks to glasses of water. If you’re one of the many people who has trouble getting started in the morning, don’t worry! Experts count coffee and tea as part of your daily water intake. If you’ve relied on energy drinks in the past, these unadorned caffeinated drinks are a much better way to wake yourself up.  Don’t add calories to these drinks with unnecessary additions. A caramel latte or Frappuccino will be full of added sugar and calories from milk, whipped cream, and flavoring syrups. A plain cup...

Пейте достаточное количество воды каждый день, чтобы ощущать сытость. Замените калорийные напитки водой. Задействуйте кофе и чай. Добавьте вкус с помощью фруктов. Во время приема пищи чередуйте еду и воду. Пейте воду до и во время занятий спортом.

The Pythagorean Theorem describes the relationship between the sides of a right triangle.  It states that for any right triangle with sides of length a and b, and hypotenuse of length c, a2 + b2 = c2. The Pythagorean Theorem only works on right triangles, and by definition only right triangles can have a hypotenuse.  If your triangle contains one angle that is exactly 90 degrees, it is a right triangle and you can proceed. Right angles are often notated in textbooks and on tests with a small square in the corner of the angle.  This special mark means "90 degrees." The variable "c" will always be assigned to the hypotenuse, or longest side.  Choose one of the other sides to be a, and call the other side b (it doesn't matter which is which; the math will turn out the same).  Then copy the lengths of a and b into the formula, according to the following example: If your triangle has sides of 3 and 4, and you have assigned letters to those sides such that a = 3 and b = 4, then you should write your equation out as: 32 + 42 = c2. To find the square of a number, you simply multiply the number by itself, so a2 = a x a.  Find the squares of both a and b, and write them into your formula.  If a = 3, a2 = 3 x 3, or 9.  If b = 4, then b2 = 4 x 4, or 16. When you plug those values into your equation, it should now look like this: 9 + 16 = c2. Enter this into your equation, and this will give you the value for c2. There is only one step left to go, and you will have that hypotenuse solved! In our example, 9 + 16 = 25, so you should write down 25 = c2. Use the square root function on your calculator (or your memory of the multiplication table) to find the square root of c2.   The answer is the length of your hypotenuse! In our example,  c2 = 25.  The square root of 25 is 5 (5 x 5 = 25, so Sqrt(25) = 5).  That means c = 5, the length of our hypotenuse!

The Rastafarian language grew out of the Rastafarian movement, a religious and social movement based in Jamaica. Though largely unorganized, the Rastafarians are united on several strong beliefs:  The belief in the beauty of black people’s African heritage. The belief that Ras Tafari Haile Selassie I, Emperor of Ethiopia, is the Biblical Messiah. He is also referred to as the Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah. This is why the lion is seen as a powerful symbol by Rastafarians. The belief in repatriation to Ethiopia, also referred to by Rastas as “Zion”, the true home and redemption of black people. The belief in the eventual fall of “Babylon”, the corrupt world of the white man, and a reversal of the power structure of slave and master. The Bible is the main holy text for Rastafarians. This is why Bob Marley’s lyrics, for example, are full of Biblical references to Exodus and the Holy Land.  Rastas take Biblical study very seriously and will cite and discuss scriptural passages. They believe the scriptures tell the true story of the black man’s history. They also feel Christian ministers have misled people by providing incorrect interpretations of the Bible, especially the use of the Bible to justify slavery. Rastas also refer to other official documents like The Promised Key and The Living Testament of Rasta-for-I. But most scholars agree no central doctrine of Rastafarian exists, as Rastas are against following organized systems or schools of thought. Instead, Rastas believe a person should engage in reflection and interpretation of their experience and form their own personal convictions about the Rasta beliefs. Rastas use the word “I-tal” to refer to food that is in its natural state. "I-tal" food has not touched modern chemicals and contains no preservatives, condiments, or salt.  Most Rastas follow the “I-tal” practice and some are vegetarians. Meat-eating Rastas usually abstain from eating pork, as pigs are seen as scavengers of the dead. Alcohol, coffee, milk, and flavored beverages like soda are...

The Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship." This booklet will be sent to you once your application is received by the proper authorities. However, there's also a PDF online and an audio version as read by famous Canadians. They've thought of everything. On the citizenship test, there will be questions about Canada's political system, geography and history, and you will have to pass this test in order to be a Canadian citizen. This booklet covers all of that. The audio version comes in English and French, and, unfortunately, isn't read by Howie Mandel, Leonhard Cohen, or Avril Lavigne. As with most things, this takes time. The CPC sends your application to the CIC nearest you to ensure the speediest delivery.  You may be asked to come into the office to review your documents -- this is entirely routine. Bring your original documents with you. From the point they receive your application and you become a citizen, it currently is estimated to take 25 months. If your application is incomplete or there are other problems, it is estimated to take 35 months. If you don't receive word back automatically, don't fret. Good things come to those who wait. After your application begins processing, you'll receive a "Notice to Appear" for your interview. Appear at the appropriate time and place that your Notice to Appear states, take your citizenship test and complete your citizenship interview. Your interview will basically be the same as the test questions, just asked orally. If you don't speak English or French as your native tongue, this will also serve as your language assessment. A judge will determine whether or not your skills are up to par. This, too, will be notified to you by mail. It will also state where and when to be at the designated place (the location is determined by your place of residence). Receiving this notice means you have passed your written citizenship test and interview. Woohoo, eh? You will receive your Certificate of Canadian Citizenship at the ceremony. So don't miss it!

The Russian Blue is a type of purebred or pedigree cat. The origins of the breed are unknown, but it is believed they originated in the Archangel Islands in North Russia. The weather there is extremely harsh in winter, which is why the Russian Blue developed such a thick, plush coat for insulation. The breed started spreading to other parts of the world in the second half of the 19th century, and reached the US in the early 20th century. Russian Blues are around 10 inches in height to the shoulder. Their average weight is 12 lbs., although some individuals will be bigger or smaller than this, depending on their lifestyle, feeding habits, and how active they are. They have an average lifespan of 10 -15 years. Russian Blues give an overall impression of being a long, slender, elegant cat. They have a long graceful neck when stretched out, but the deep plush coat can disguise this and make the neck appear shorter. The body is lean with fine bones and generally with defined, lean muscles. Russian Blues have a distinctive green eye color. This trait starts to develop from 4 months of age and manifests as a rim of green around the outside of the iris, which is the colored part of the eye. All kittens are born with blue eyes, but the color changes to the final adult shade once they get older. Russian Blues have a characteristic wedge-shaped or triangular face, which is often described as cobra like with seven distinct planes. Typical cats, in contrast, tend to have a rounder, more apple like skull. This sets Russian Blues apart. The most striking and unique thing about a Russian Blue is the coat for which it is named. It appears silvery grey, though blue is a traditional description for this color. It should be dense, thick, plush, and double layered.  If you look carefully at individual hairs, you will find a grey shaft tipped with lighter grey or silver at the tip.  The nose of the Russian Blues will be black, and the paw pads will be mauve. Russian Blues tend to be shy with strangers, but affectionate once they...

The Santa aspect of your Santa pancakes is all in how you top and decorate them. So, to make the pancakes themselves, just follow your favorite recipe as you normally would. If you’re stuck for one, browse others on Wikihow, or simply follow this one for your batter: For four pancakes, combine 1 cup (125 g) of flour, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, 1 tablespoon sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a large mixing bowl. Then stir in 1 cup (237 ml) of milk and 1 large egg until the batter turns smooth. First, lightly coat a large skillet with cooking oil. Turn the burner to medium-low heat. Once the skillet’s hot, ladle your batter into the skillet. Cook each pancake on one side until the top begins to bubble. Then flip it over with a spatula and cook the second side until it turns golden brown.  For each Santa that you plan to make, you can ladle out a ¼ cup of batter for a standard-size pancake to use as Santa’s head. Additionally, you can make a second pancake of equal size to trim down to an undersized body.  Or, you can ladle out a 1/4 cup for the upper torso and a smaller portion for the head for a more proportionally correct Santa. If you’ve made two pancakes for each Santa, with one meant to be his full body, transfer one pancake to a cutting board. Use a paring knife to trace an outline for Santa’s body. Discard the excess, or snack away on it while you repeat for any additional Santas. Alternatively, you could also save them to add to Santa’s face or body.

The Snapchat app icon is a white ghost with a yellow background. If you aren't already logged into Snapchat, tap Log In and enter your username (or email address) and password. Doing so will open your profile page. It's toward the bottom of the profile page screen. This is a small tab on the top right side of the screen.  You won't be able to add contacts from your address book if Snapchat doesn't have access to your contacts. If you haven't added your phone number to your Snapchat account yet, do so when prompted. Contacts are usually listed in alphabetical order. Type your contact's name into the Search bar at the top of the screen to speed up your search. You can add any contact with an + Add next to their name.  You won't see the names of contacts whom you've already added in Snapchat here. If the contact doesn't have a Snapchat account, you'll see Invite to the right of their name. Tap on the Friends tab at the top of the screen (left of the Contacts tab) and check that his or her name now appears on the list.  You can use the Search bar at the top of this page to find the friend you just added. By default, your added friends will need to add you back before they can see any snaps you send them.

TL;DR in Russian:

Запустите Snapchat. Проведите вниз по экрану с включенной камерой. Коснитесь Мои друзья. Нажмите Контакты. Перейдите к нужному контакту. Нажмите Добавить. Убедитесь, что контакт добавлен в список друзей.


The Snowflake method is often used to structure novels, but it can be used to structure short stories too. This method allows you to work through the plot of your story in increments and structure the scenes required for your story in a spreadsheet. To get started with this method, you will need to come up with a one sentence summary of your story. It should sell your story and highlight the big picture.  Keep the summary short and sweet, using non-specific descriptions and terms with no names. Try to use 15 words or less and focus on tying a larger theme with character actions. For example, your one line summary might read: “A seemingly perfect marriage is disrupted when the wife disappears.” Once you have your one line summary, you should expand it to a full paragraph that describes the story set up, the major events, the climax, and the ending of the story. You can use the structure of “three disasters plus an ending” where three bad things occur in the story and build up to the climax of the story. The idea is that things only get worse and worse for the protagonist until they reach the climax and then the ending or resolution of the story.  Your paragraph will be made up of five sentences. One sentence should describe the story set up. There should be one sentence for each of the three disasters. Then, one final sentence that describes the ending. Your paragraph may read: “Nick and Amy have a seemingly perfect marriage and appear happy to those who know them. But one night Amy disappears under mysterious circumstances and foul play is suspected. Nick is soon accused of her murder and must defend himself in court. Nick discovers that Amy faked her own murder and is still alive, but determined to put him in prison. Nick confronts Amy and they argue, but ultimately, Amy blackmails Nick into staying in the marriage.” Once you have your summary, you should focus on fleshing out your characters. Create a storyline for each of your main characters, noting important characteristics like the character's name, the...

The Paris hotel has a magnificent lobby, complete with streets designed to look and feel like Paris, France. Drink a coffee in one of the French coffee shops and spend time looking at the Eiffel Tower, which is half the size of the real thing. Just like the real Eiffel Tower, you can take an elevator to an observation deck at the top of this replica for 20 dollars. Las Vegas is famous for their neon signs and flashing lights, and the Neon Museum holds some of the city’s vintage neon signs. The museum has preserved and displayed these signs so you can imagine what Las Vegas used to be like. The museum offers a 19 dollar guided tour and you’ll have many chances to take photos. For both amazing, picturesque locations, you can take tours ranging in price from $70 to $600. You can also explore the areas by helicopter, motor coach or by walking.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выделите один день на Лас-Вегас-Стрип и прогулки без планов. Выделите время и деньги на шоппинг в известных торговых центрах Лас-Вегаса. Сходите в отель «Париж» и посмотрите на Эйфелеву башню. Сходите в музей неоновых вывесок. Купите дневную экскурсию на плотину Гувера или в Гранд-каньон.


The USDA has defined 13 growing zones for the United States, ranging from the extremely cold Zone 1 (in far-north Alaska) to the extremely warm Zone 13 (in parts of Hawaii and Puerto Rico). Most of the country ranges from Zone 3 to Zone 10. Marigolds are annual plants in most zones, meaning they will die in the winter and will not return the next growing season. Marigolds are hardy, self-seeding flowers. If you live in Zone 8 or higher, your marigolds may not die off during the winter and will probably return with fuller vigour the following spring. Although marigolds are a very hardy plant, they can die in cold weather. Plant marigolds after the last frost. American (African) marigolds should be planted immediately after the last frost because they are slow to mature. If possible, plant your marigolds on a cloudy day or in the morning; this will help prevent further transplant shock to the plants from the heat. Seeds will take a few weeks to germinate but cost much less. Seedlings or plants bought from a gardening store will give you immediate satisfaction but are more expensive.  While it's not necessary, you can start the seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before you want to plant them outside. Marigolds can also be directly seeded into the ground outdoors when the soil temperatures reach 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit ( Late May to Mid June) as well. Short varieties such as the French Marigolds germinate quickly and flower very fast within few weeks after planting. If you use seedlings or plants, you can plant them as soon as the last frost is gone. Marigolds grow well both in flowerbeds and in pots and other containers, but they need space to spread out. Fully grown marigold plants in beds should be spaced 2 to 3 feet apart so that they can get enough sunlight.  Marigolds perform best in full sunlight, although they can handle up to 20% shade. Do not plant them in a fully shaded area, as they will not thrive.  Marigolds are tolerant of dry, sandy soil, but they do not grow well in overly damp soil. Make sure your beds...

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires that you be 18 years of age to undergo the naturalization process, no matter how long you have lived in the United States. Your permanent resident card, or "green card," shows the date you were granted permanent resident status. You are eligible to begin the naturalization process exactly five years from that date.  If you are married to a US citizen, you may begin the naturalization process after living as a permanent resident with your spouse for three years, rather than five. If you have served in the US armed forces for more than one year, you do not have to prove five years of continuous residence. If you left the US for six months or more, you may have "disrupted" your permanent resident status, and you may have to make up for the time before applying to become a citizen. In most cases, you may not apply for US citizenship while out of the country. The USCIS will determine whether you have good moral character by taking the following into consideration:  Your criminal record. Crimes committed with the intent to harm a person, terrorist acts, drug or alcohol related crimes, hate crimes, and other types of crimes could disqualify you from the naturalization process. Lying to the USCIS about past crimes is grounds for denial of your application. Most traffic fines and minor incidents will not disqualify your application. Examinations on these subjects will be administered as part of the application process. Applicants over a certain age or with a disability will have less rigorous language requirements. A civics exam will be administered as part of the application process. Applicants over a certain age or with a disability will have less rigorous civics requirements. Taking the Oath of Allegiance will be the final step to becoming a US Citizen. Be prepared to promise to:  Renounce foreign allegiances. Support the Constitution. Serve the United states, whether as part of the Armed Forces or through civilian service.

TL;DR in Russian:

Достигнуть 18-летнего возраста. Проживать в качестве постоянного жителя в США в течение пяти лет подряд. Присутствовать физически на территории  Соединенных Штатов. Иметь высокие моральные качества.

The Virgo female is one you have to draw out slowly. She needs to know who you are and be comfortable with you before things can even touch on romantic or sexual. She likes to know exactly what she's getting into, so be friends with her first. Anything worth it is worth the wait, and she definitely is. Use, subtle, incidental touches to get her used to physical contact with you. It doesn't put you up for rejection, but it still gets your touch in her subconscious. Hopefully, she'll start liking it and wanting it more and more. She'll start touching you back, letting you know it's okay to proceed.    Virgo girls are very shy, so be careful not to mistake shyness for her not being interested in you. To start off a relationship with a Virgo, you're going to have to be the one to make the first move, as she's too shy and traditional to do it herself. Once she gets to know you, however, her shyness will wear off and she will become confident around you. But for right now, you'll be doing the brunt of the work.  Know exactly what you want to do -- she'll be attracted to your determination knowledge. Tell her exactly where you'd like to take her to dinner or what you would like to do this weekend. Who could refuse an offer delivered with such confidence and desire? Keep it traditional. Don't get her alone in a dark room and start loosening your belt. Be romantic and slow-to-start. She needs to be courted above all else. Virgo women have a soft spot for more romantic words and would prefer to be called "beautiful" or "pretty" instead of "hot" or "sexy." When you're interacting with her, be kind and caring. She will not be impressed by any display of machismo or playful condescension. Games are not her thing. She is looking for a partner who will be a constant. Who can help her not worry and put her mind at ease. If you engage in a game of cat-and-mouse or tug-of-war, she won't be having it. She wants to know that you are into her and only her and don't plan on going anywhere. In short, she needs to trust you. Above...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сначала станьте для нее другом. Сделайте первый шаг. Будьте вежливы и милы по отношению к ней. Заводите с ней умные разговоры. Читайте по глазам.


The Virgo woman likes her partner to be a good dresser. She's quite the perfectionist, so you gotta be put together, too (she doesn't want to waste her time doing it for you!). The casual Virgo will be good with a nice t-shirt and jeans, but the dressier Virgo will want a jacket and spiffy shoes. Whatever it is, look like you put thought into it. That isn't to say you need to be trendy. No, no, no -- there are pieces that are timeless that Virgo will always appreciate. A good button-down shirt, a nice jacket -- even a nostalgic vintage tee will garner her approval. As long as you have some thought into your look, she'll notice. . In addition to rocking the right clothes, you gotta be clean! Virgo needs a partner who's well-groomed to the max: that means clean ears, clean fingernails, clean noses, clean everything. And smelling good, too! If Virgo gets into your car and has to wade through wrappers to sit down, she'd rather walk. Walk back to her home, that is. She can't stand messes and won't tolerate yours. It's a total turn off for her to be with someone who isn't organized. She'll have no choice but to get out of bed and clean your room for you! Definitely not romantic. So when you find her organizing your closet by thread count, don't be surprised. This is just her. You shouldn't go about changing your ways -- unless you're of the type that leaves pizza on the floor for later. Virgo doesn't need a partner that's as clean as she is, but she doesn't want a slob! Virgo wants her lover to be everything -- smart, funny, cute, and loving. Though intelligent definitely takes center stage, ideally you'd be a powerhouse of awesome qualities. Be as well-balanced as possible to keep her finding more and more things about you that she loves. To keep her wanting more, talk to her about everything. Engage her mind. It could be about literally anything. If she wants to talk about 18th century Swiss art, great. If she wants to talk about the Kardashians, great. Show her that you can handle every side of her and her mind.

Одевайтесь модно. Будьте чистым. Все в вашей жизни должно быть чистым. Обладайте всеми необходимыми качествами.

The Zentangle Method encourages using fine printmaking paper to use as a foundation for Zentangles. It should be plain white, unlined paper. Cut your paper into a 3.5" square piece.  Handmade or textured paper is fine, as long as it doesn't have patterns. You can use colored paper if you want, but wouldn't be considered a true Zentangle according to the Zentangle Method. Use a pencil to draw a light square border around the edges of your paper. The pattern you make will be drawn inside the perimeters of the border. Do not use a ruler or any sort of straight edge to draw your border. Just sketch it lightly near the edges of the paper.  It's completely fine if your hand wavers while you draw the border. The border will be a unique, original constraint inside which your pattern will emerge. If it has wavy lines or looks uneven, your finished Zentangle will be that much more original. Do not press down too hard with the pencil as you freehand the border. It is not meant to be visible once you finish creating your Zentangle in pen. Take your pencil and draw a "string" inside the border. According to the Zentangle Method, a string is a curved line or squiggle that will lend structure to your design. The pattern you create will emerge according to the contours of your string. It should a lightly-sketched, simple, abstract form that elegantly divides the border into sections.  Again, don't press down too hard with your pencil as you draw the string. It will not be visible once your Zentangle is finished. It is meant to serve as a guide for your pattern. Some people find it hard to determine how to draw the string. Remember that the philosophy behind a Zentangle is that it should feel pleasurable, celebratory and natural. Draw whatever comes out when you touch your pencil to the paper - there's no wrong way to do it. If you want ideas for creating different strings, there are string patterns available online. A "tangle" is a pattern drawn in pen along the contours of a string. One Zentangle may have just one tangle,...

The acknowledgment page is a common feature at the end of a formal thesis or dissertation, and it can be difficult to know how to include a bit of personal writing at the end of a technical project. It would be strange to follow up your epoch-shattering cancer research study with "Shout out to D-Nuts for the sick waffles he brought me in the lab that one time." Make your acknowledgment page professional, brief and more informal than the rest of your text, but also specific to the people who helped you along the way.  The acknowledgment page can either be a list or a more fluid paragraph. It would be fine to write, "I would like to thank Professor Henderson, Dr. Matthews, etc." until you've worked your way through the list. It would also be perfectly acceptable to address each person individually and more personally: "I would like to thank Professor Henderson for her expert advice and encouragement throughout this difficult project, as well as Dr. Matthews for his brilliance in the lab."  Some people feel uncomfortable emphasizing certain people's help over other people's help, in which case the list form in alphabetical order is a perfectly acceptable method of writing an Acknowledgment. In general, the most important person to thank in the acknowledgment is your thesis advisor or major professor overseeing your project, followed by any members of the thesis committee and other supervising academics directly involved with your project.  In general, it's helpful to think in groups, even going to far as to format all the thank-yous of a particular group in a single sentence: "I would like to thank Dr. Stevens, Dr. Smith, and Professors Clemons for their extraordinary support in this thesis process." If you worked with a small committee, it's customary and thoughtful to thank each person for the specific things they contributed to your work. This might include lab assistants, or anyone who helped you with coursework or contributed to the project itself in any way. Other classmates who you feel like contributed...

The acorn contains the "seeds" of the oak tree, and an acorn buried in the right location may eventually sprout into a towering oak in its own right.  The acorn develops within a cup-like structure called a cupule. The cupule delivers the nutrients that flow from the roots and leaves all through the tree, along the branches, and through the stem into the acorn. When the acorn rests with its point facing down, the cupule should look like a sort of cap atop the nut. The cap is not a part of the acorn, technically, so much as a protective covering. Each acorn typically contains one oak seed, although the occasional nut contains two or three. An acorn takes 6 to 18 months to mature into a sprouting oak seedling; acorns sprout best in a moist (but not too moist) environment, and their growth is naturally activated by the cold-snap temperatures of a Northern Hemisphere winter.  Acorns have evolved to be deliciously appealing to deer, squirrels, and other woodland creatures. When animals eat the acorns that litter the forest floor, they take tiny oak seeds on board. When they excrete the digested acorn seeds--or, in the case of squirrels, compulsively hide acorns and then forget about them in the springtime--they spread the oak's seeds throughout their ecosystem. Most seeds do not survive to become full-fledged oak trees, but the ones that do survive eventually begin to produce acorns of their own. When an acorn falls to the ground, it has roughly a 1 in 10,000 chance of becoming a full-fledged oak tree--so you can imagine why it behooves the oak to produce so many! Acorns may vary in size and color, but most are characterized by a bumpy "cap" and a smooth, pointed bottom. The following measurements may help you gather information about a tree:  Observe the stem on which the acorn grows. Notice the length of the stem and how many acorns grow from it. Note the appearance of the cupule. The nut of the acorn grows from a woody cup, which may remind you of a head wearing a hat. Cupules may be scaly and include wart-like...

The added liquid combined with the blended fruit can make you feel fuller than you would if you just ate the fruit. Juicing provides variety and provides all of the beneficial nutrients in a liquid state. A raw spinach leaf salad can be dressed up with some fresh sliced strawberries and pears. Add some flavor to a salad of tossed dark, leafy greens by squeezing some fresh lemon or lime juice over the top. Prepare a guacamole dip from fresh avocados, tomatoes, red onion, and lime juice.

The adder—common viper, or vipera Berus—features a distinctive V- or X-shaped marking on its head. It also features a vertically-slit pupils, dark zigzag stripes on its back, and dark ovals along its flank. The dark patches range from gray to blue to black (most commonly). The background color is usually a pale gray, though can be brown or brick red.  The adder is common throughout the UK, mostly in the southern regions. While painful and requiring prompt medical attention, adder bites are generally not fatal. Adders are not particularly aggressive unless disturbed. Given a choice, they'd rather be anywhere than near you.

The advantage of carrying a credit card over a debit card or cash is that if the card is lost or stolen, your money is protected. A debit card could quickly give thieves access to your checking account, and if cash is lost or stolen you may never recover the funds.  If carrying a credit card, consider buying a sleeve protector. Be sure that the protector you buy will effectively block radio frequency identification. This will help protect your card information from being stolen by "electronic pickpocketing."  Only carry one or two credit cards with you at any given time if you're worried about your wallet getting lost or stolen. Some merchants may not accept traveller's checks, which can create a bit of a headache when trying to make a purchase. However, traveller's checks have the distinct advantage of being easily replaced if they are lost or stollen. And even if a merchant won't accept them as payment, traveller's checks can easily be exchanged for cash (in the local currency) at most banks and money exchanges.  If possible when traveling, get traveller's checks in the local currency.  Carry several checks in smaller denominations to make transactions easier and safer.  Sign your traveler's checks as soon as you get them, and keep the receipt(s) in a separate, secure location. If you're worried about bringing a significant amount of cash with you to a travel destination, you can always have a friend or relative wire you money once you arrive. These services are not free - in fact some charge rather high premiums - but most big-name money wire services have offices all over the globe, and using these services may take some of the stress out of traveling with cash.

The almonds should be dry and fresh. Make sure your blender is clean and ready to go. You should start off at low speed so that the almonds are blended slowly and carefully; blending them at high speed at first will make the blending process more difficult. As you start to blend the almonds, you may find that they start to form a shape that resembles a ball; they'll start to build up on the sides of the blender. Just stop the blender to scrape off the build-up and return it to the rest of the almonds. You may need to do this several times in the blending process, so be vigilant as you blend them. As they get more and more blended, you can turn your blender up to medium or even high speed. This will help the process along. Once the almonds have been blended into a rich, creamy paste, then you can add a teaspoon of olive oil to speed up the blending process. If you find that the almonds are still not blending as smoothly as you'd like them to, then you can add another teaspoon of oil. Once you've finished blending the almonds, you can place them in a container, such as a glass jar or Tupperware, and keep them at room temperature for about 2 weeks. This should be enough time for the oil from the almonds to separate from their meat. To get the most out of the oil, you can try tipping the container and letting the oil drip into a separate container. You can also use a sieve or a strainer to separate the oil from the almonds. You can use the oil to treat your skin or hair or for aromatherapy purposes. You also don't have to throw out that leftover nut meat, either. You can use it in cooking, or even just mix it with a bit of canola oil and salt and spread it on toast.
